[0011] A logistics management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the accompanying drawings, identical or similar elements are designated by identical or similar reference symbols and names, and duplicate descriptions of identical or similar elements may be omitted in the description of the embodiment. Note that the contents shown in the drawings are merely examples for explaining the present embodiment and are merely schematic examples to facilitate the explanation of the present embodiment. The contents of the drawings may be modified or changed within the scope of the present disclosure without causing any technical problems.

[0012] <System Overview> FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of logistics management in this embodiment. FIG. 1 illustrates an example of international logistics, in which a package is transported from a shipper to a consignee by entering a domestic port warehouse, clearing customs, and then being shipped by air or sea to a destination. Once there, the package is delivered to the consignee by truck. In this logistics management system, an automatic identification code is affixed to the package. At each logistics base (tracking point), the package's automatic identification code is read by a work terminal such as a smartphone to track the package. The automatic identification code is an electronic code that employs automatic identification technology (technology that mechanically reads data such as IDs and various other information without human intervention). The automatic identification code may be a one-dimensional code (e.g., a barcode), a two-dimensional code (e.g., a QR Code (registered trademark)), or a wireless tag (IC tag) such as an RFID, in which predetermined information is encoded.

[0013] In recent years, with the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), interest in environmental issues such as global warming has increased more than ever before, and in the field of logistics, management of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances associated with transportation is also required. However, when multiple transport companies and / or multiple transport means are involved in the logistics process from the shipper to the consignee, as in the case of international logistics illustrated in Figure 1, it is not easy to grasp the overall emissions of environmentally hazardous substances emitted throughout the entire logistics process for each package (from the entrance (shipper) to the exit (consignee)).

[0014] In the logistics management system of this embodiment, input items for calculating the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions are set in advance in association with each logistics base involved in the logistics process until the package reaches the consignee. In other words, input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions are set for each logistics base so that different information can be input for each logistics base. Then, at each logistics base, input of the items set for each logistics base (input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions) is accepted from a work terminal that reads the automatic recognition code, making it possible to calculate the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions associated with transportation between each base. In other words, the logistics management system of this embodiment tracks each package by reading the automatic recognition code, and also tracks the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions corresponding to each package.

[0015] The environmental load substances are substances that cause environmental loads and are emitted from transportation means (trucks, trains, airplanes, ships, and other moving bodies), such as carbon dioxide (CO ２ ), methane (CH ４ ), nitrous oxide (N ２ Greenhouse gases such as nitrogen oxides (NO Ｘ ), sulfur oxides (SO Ｘ In this embodiment, the environmental load substances include CO ２ The following example shows a case where emissions are tracked. However, the environmental load substances that are the subject of tracking in the logistics management system of this embodiment are CO ２ The present invention is not necessarily limited to the above, but can be applied to tracking of various environmentally hazardous substances as mentioned above.

[0016] 2, the logistics management system includes a server device 20. The server device 20 is communicably connected to a work terminal 10 held by a worker 1 via a communication network 30. The communication network 30 is, for example, the Internet, and may be constructed using a public telephone network, a mobile phone network, a wireless communication path, Ethernet (registered trademark), or the like.

[0017] The work terminal 10 held by the worker 1 is a computer such as a smartphone. In addition to smartphones, various types of computers, such as tablet computers and personal computers, may also be used as the work terminal 10. The worker 1 is a person who inputs data into the input form described below, and examples include a person in charge of a logistics center or a driver belonging to a transport company that transports goods to each logistics center. While FIG. 2 illustrates one worker 1 and work terminal 10, depending on the number of logistics centers, multiple work terminals 10 of workers 1 are communicatively connected to the server device 20 via the communication network 30. In this embodiment, the work terminal 10 has a device for reading automatic recognition codes, such as a camera or RFID reader, and is capable of reading information encoded in the automatic recognition codes. The device for reading the automatic recognition codes may be built into the work terminal 10 or may be externally connected to the work terminal 10.

[0018] The server device 20 is a computer that manages logistics. The server device 20 may be, for example, a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically realized by cloud computing.

[0019] <Server Device 20> FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the server device 20. Note that the illustrated configuration is an example, and other configurations may also be used. The server device 20 includes a CPU 201, a memory 202, a storage device 203, a communication interface 204, an input device 205, and an output device 206. The storage device 203 stores various data and programs, and is, for example, a hard disk drive, a solid-state drive, or a flash memory. The communication interface 204 is an interface for connecting to the communication network 30, and is, for example, an adapter for connecting to Ethernet (registered trademark), a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or an RS232C connector for serial communication, etc. The input device 205 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, buttons, a microphone, etc. for inputting data. The output device 206 is, for example, a display, a printer, a speaker, etc. for outputting data. Each functional unit of the server device 20 described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading a program stored in the storage device 203 into the memory 202 and executing it, and each storage unit (database) of the server device 20 is realized as part of the storage area provided by the memory 202 and the storage device 203.

[0020] 4 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the server device 20. The server device 20 can include, for example, a specific information receiving unit 211, a form output unit 212, an input unit 213, an emission amount calculation unit 214, a setting unit 215, a code issuing unit 216, an input item storage unit 231, a calculation method storage unit 232, a tracking database 233, and an authority storage unit 234.

[0021] The input item storage unit 231 stores input items in association with packages and logistics bases. The input item storage unit 231 may include, for example, a setting information storage unit 2311 and a package information storage unit 2312.

[0022] The setting information storage unit 2311 stores information related to the settings for each logistics base (hereinafter referred to as setting information). In this embodiment, a series of logistics bases involved in the path of a package from the shipper to the consignee is collectively referred to as a project. The setting information storage unit 2311 stores setting information for each logistics base belonging to a project.

[0023] The setting information for each logistics base can include a base ID, base name, consolidation flag, deconsolidation flag, next base ID, person in charge flag, notification information, location information settings, image settings, electronic signature settings, settings related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions, and multiple input items, all associated with a project ID that identifies the project.

[0024] The base ID is information that identifies a logistics base. The consolidation flag and deconsolidation flag are information that indicate whether consolidation and deconsolidation of packages are possible at the logistics base. The next base ID is information that indicates the logistics base next to the logistics base. The person in charge flag is information that sets whether to set a person in charge. The notification information is information that sets whether to notify the person in charge at the next logistics base. The notification information can be set to notify no, notify by SMS, notify by email, etc. The location information setting is information that sets whether to include location information as an input field. The image setting is information that sets whether to include an image as an input field. The electronic signature setting is information that sets whether to include an electronic signature as an input field.

[0025] The setting related to the amount of environmental load substance emissions is information for setting input items required to calculate the amount of environmental load substance emissions associated with transportation from a previous logistics base to a target logistics base (a logistics base with a base ID linked to the setting) or transportation from the target logistics base to a next logistics base (a logistics base with a next base ID). More specifically, the setting related to the amount of environmental load substance emissions may include at least one calculation method (calculation formula) for the amount of environmental load substance emissions and input items corresponding to the calculation method. For example, CO ２Examples of emission calculation methods include the conventional ton-kilometer method, the improved ton-kilometer method, the fuel consumption method, and the fuel consumption method. At least one calculation method is selected for each logistics base and stored in the setting information storage unit 2311 as the setting information for that logistics base. Furthermore, input items required to derive the environmentally hazardous substance emissions using the selected calculation method are determined, and the input items are stored in the setting information storage unit 2311 as the setting information for that logistics base. Examples of input items corresponding to the calculation method include an input item for selecting the vehicle type or transportation method used for transportation, an input item for selecting the type of fuel or electricity consumed during transportation, transport weight, transportation distance, loading rate, and fuel consumption. The setting for the environmentally hazardous substance emissions may also include information for specifying whether or not the input of items related to the environmentally hazardous substance emissions is required for the target logistics base.

[0026] Any other input items can also be set in the setting information storage unit 2311. The other input items can include the type of input control in the form (e.g., text box, radio button, check box, calendar, etc.) and the name of the input control (variable name).

[0027] The package information storage unit 2312 manages the project to which the package belongs. The package information storage unit 2312 stores a project ID indicating the project to which the package belongs, in association with a package ID that identifies each package. The package information storage unit 2312 may also store IDs of multiple logistics bases (base IDs) that belong to the project, in association with each package ID. In the logistics management system of this embodiment, an automatic identification code is issued for each package, and records are added to the package information storage unit 2312 for the number of automatic identification codes issued.

[0028] The calculation method storage unit 232 stores the amount of emissions of environmental load substances (unit: t-CO ２) is stored in the calculation method storage unit 232. As will be described later, at each logistics base, information corresponding to the input items related to the amount of environmental load substance emissions set in the input item storage unit 231 is input, and based on this input information, the emission calculation unit 214 calculates the amount of environmental load substance emissions associated with transportation to each logistics base. The calculation method storage unit 232 stores, for each calculation method, a database of calculation formulas (calculation formulas into which input values ​​are substituted) required to calculate this emission amount, and emission coefficients (emission unit values) used in the calculation formulas.

[0029] For example, CO ２ When tracking emissions, the calculation method storage unit 232 stores a database of calculation formulas and emission coefficients (basic units) corresponding to the calculation formulas for each calculation method, such as the conventional ton-kilometer method, the improved ton-kilometer method, the fuel method, and the fuel efficiency method. The following formula (1) is the calculation formula used for the conventional ton-kilometer method, formula (2) is the calculation formula used for the improved ton-kilometer method, formula (3) is the calculation formula used for the fuel efficiency method, and formula (4) is the calculation formula used for the fuel efficiency method. Also, Figure 5A is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the conventional ton-kilometer method, Figure 5B is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the improved ton-kilometer method, Figure 5C is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the fuel efficiency method, and Figure 5D is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the fuel efficiency method.

[0030] Calculation formula for the conventional ton-kilometer method: Transport weight [t] x Transport distance [km] x Emissions intensity [g-CO ２ / (t・km)]×(1 / 1000000) ...(1) Calculation formula of the improved ton-kilometer method Transport weight [t] x Transport distance [km] x Fuel consumption unit [l / (t・km)] x (1 / 1000) x Unit calorific value [GJ / kl] x Emission factor [t-CO ２ / GJ] × (44 / 12) ... (2) Calculation formula for fuel method Fuel consumption [kl] × unit calorific value [GJ / kl] × emission coefficient [t-CO ２ / GJ] × (44 / 12) ... (3) Calculation formula for fuel consumption method {(Transport distance [km] / Fuel consumption [km / l]) × (1 / 1000)} × Unit calorific value [GJ / kl] × Emission coefficient [t-CO ２ / GJ] × (44 / 12) ... (4)

[0031] When the emission calculation unit 214 calculates the emission amount based on the information input as the transportation record, a fixed value to be used for calculating the emission amount is determined based on the settings related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances stored for each logistics base in the setting information storage unit 2311 and the actual input value, and the fixed value is read out from the calculation method storage unit 232. ４ , N ２ O, NO Ｘ , S.O. Ｘ Even when tracking particulate matter (PM), the emissions of these environmental load substances are also CO ２ Since it can be calculated using the formula "activity amount x emission coefficient" in the same way as for emissions, it is sufficient to store one or more calculation formulas corresponding to each environmental load substance and an emission coefficient database in the calculation method storage unit 232.

[0032] The tracking database 233 stores input values ​​for input items. As described below, at each logistics base, information is input for the input items set in the input item storage unit 231, and this input information is registered in the tracking database 233. The tracking database 233 stores, in association with a project ID, a parcel ID, and a base ID, the date and time, and each input value (location information, image, electronic signature, input value related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances, and other input values) input for the parcel indicated by the parcel ID at the logistics base indicated by the base ID. The tracking database 233 also stores, in association with the project ID, parcel ID, and base ID, the amount of emissions for each transport to each base calculated based on the input value related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances. In addition, the tracking database 233 may also store, in association with the project ID and parcel ID, the total amount of emissions for each parcel calculated from the amount of emissions linked to each base and stored. Note that only information related to the input items set to be input in the input item storage unit 231 is registered in the tracking database 233.

[0033] The authority storage unit 234 stores, for each worker, base identification information that identifies a logistics base where the worker can input input values. The authority storage unit 234 may include an authority group storage unit 2341 and an authority member storage unit 2342. The authority group storage unit 2341 stores, in association with a project ID that indicates a project and a group ID that identifies a group, a group name (group name), a base ID (base identification information) that identifies a logistics base, and a permission flag that sets whether the worker 1 is allowed to input and output information. The authority member storage unit 2342 stores, in association with a project ID and a person in charge ID that identifies each worker 1, a group ID that indicates a group to which each worker 1 belongs.

[0034] <Functional Units of Server Device 20> The setting unit 215 accepts designations of packages, logistics bases, and corresponding input items, and transmits the designated information to the input item storage unit 231 for storage. The designation of packages, logistics bases, and corresponding input items is performed in advance, for example, by a shipper's person in charge (hereinafter referred to as the "configurator") before the start of package transportation. At this time, the setting unit 215 transmits a predetermined setting screen 40 to a terminal owned by the configurer (e.g., a work terminal 10, or a computer such as a personal computer or smartphone used by the user who configures the input items). The setting unit 215 then accepts the designation of a logistics base for each package (i.e., project configuration) and the designation of input items for each logistics base belonging to the project via the setting screen 40 displayed on the terminal. Note that, although the setting unit 215 is provided in the server device 20 in the software configuration shown in FIG. 4 , a function corresponding to the setting unit 215 may be provided in the work terminal 10 owned by the configurer. For example, a terminal such as the work terminal 10 may be provided with a function for displaying the setting screen 40 and accepting input, and the setting information accepted by the work terminal 10 may be transmitted to the server device 20 .

[0035] The setting unit 215 may display the setting screen 40 on the terminal of the person setting the setting screen by transmitting screen data written in HTML to the terminal of the person setting the setting screen 40. The setting screen 40 output by the setting unit 215 may present fields for accepting settings for items such as a base ID, a base name, a consolidation flag, a deconsolidation flag, a next base ID, a person in charge flag, notification information, location information, an image, an electronic signature, and an amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances as options for input items that are set in advance for each logistics base. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the setting screen 40 output when accepting settings for input items for each logistics base.

[0036] The setting screen 40 shown in FIG. 6 allows the user to configure a logistics base (tracking point) belonging to a project. The name of the logistics base (tracking point) (base name in the setting information) is input in input field 401. Radio button input fields 402 and 403 allow the user to select whether or not to permit consolidation and deconsolidation of packages at the logistics base (consolidation flag and deconsolidation flag in the setting information). Input field 404 allows the user to select the next logistics base (next base ID in the setting information) after the logistics base. Input field 405 allows the user to set a person in charge of the logistics base (person in charge flag in the setting information), and input field 406 allows the user to set whether or not to notify the person in charge of the next logistics base (notification information in the setting information).

[0037] In input field 407, the user inputs whether or not location information will be included in the input items at the logistics base (location information setting that sets whether obtaining location information is mandatory or optional at the logistics base).In input field 408, the user inputs whether or not image information will be included in the input items at the logistics base (image setting that sets whether registering an image of the package at the logistics base is mandatory or optional).In input field 409, the user inputs whether or not an electronic signature will be included in the input items at the logistics base (electronic signature setting that sets whether registering an electronic signature by worker 1 at the logistics base is mandatory or optional).

[0038] In the input field 410, other items to be included as input items (additional input items) are set, and an input field 411 for inputting settings related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances may be provided in this input field 410. The settings related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances may be accepted via a modal window that is displayed by pressing a button 4101 shown in Fig. 6, for example. Fig. 7 shows an example of a modal window 45 for setting input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances.

[0039] The input field 451 shown in FIG. 7 is a field for selecting the input items to be set in the modal window 45. ２ When the setting for "CO emission calculation" is selected, a description field for each calculation method, an input field 452 for accepting the selection of the calculation method, and an input field 453 for accepting the input of the name of the input item may be displayed in the modal window 45. The input field 451 may accept the selection of the input item to be set by displaying a drop-down list, and the CO ２ The input field 451 may be configured as a drop-down list so that not only the emission calculation setting but also other input item settings such as settings relating to other environmental load substances can be accepted.

[0040] The setting unit 215 accepts the designation of a calculation method, which selects at least one calculation method to be used when calculating emissions associated with transportation to the next location (or transportation from the previous location) from among the calculation methods presented in the input field 452 in FIG. 7 . At this time, one calculation method may be designated for one logistics location, or two or more calculation methods may be designated for one logistics location. For example, when the setter designates a transportation method from one logistics location to the next logistics location, or when the transportation method is clear, one calculation method may be designated. However, when the setter cannot identify the transportation method or the type of vehicle to be transported from the one logistics location, two or more calculation methods may be designated. After accepting the designation of a calculation method, the setting unit 215 determines input items (input items related to the selection of the vehicle type or transportation method, input items related to the selection of the type of fuel or electricity, transport weight, transportation distance, loading rate, fuel consumption, etc.) according to the designated calculation method. In other words, the setting unit 215 accepts the designation of at least one calculation method selected for each package and logistics location, and determines input items related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances corresponding to the designated at least one calculation method. Note that, for example, CO ２ In the modal window 45 for setting input items related to emissions, ２ A check box 454 may be provided for specifying whether or not input to the input item regarding emission amount is required.

[0041] When the settings for the input items related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances are accepted in the modal window 45, the accepted setting information is reflected in the input field 411 shown in Fig. 6, and editing and deletion may be possible using an edit button and a delete button. The input field 410 may not only accept the settings related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances, but may also allow the setting of other additional input items (input field 412), and for each additional input item, a form type 4121 and a form name 4122 can be set. When setting other additional input items, the modal window 45 displayed by pressing the button 4101 may be used, as in the case of setting the input items related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances.

[0042] 6 may be pressed, the screen may transition to the setting screen 40 that accepts the setting of input items related to the next logistics base. As described above, the setting of input items using the setting screen 40 and the modal window 45 is accepted for each logistics base belonging to the project. Setting values ​​input to the setting screen 40 are transmitted from a terminal such as the work terminal 10 to the server device 20, and the setting unit 215 creates setting information including the received setting values ​​and registers it in the setting information storage unit 2311 provided in the input item storage unit 231. When setting values ​​for multiple logistics bases are transmitted from the terminal, setting information can be created and registered for each logistics base.

[0043] The code issuing unit 216 issues an automatic identification code. The code issuing unit 216 can issue an automatic identification code for each package related to a project. The automatic identification code issued by the code issuing unit 216 can be affixed to the package or the container (e.g., pallet, container) containing the package. The automatic identification code can, for example, encode a URL unique to the project. The URL can also include a package ID that identifies the package managed by the automatic identification code. In other words, the project and package can be identified by reading and accessing the URL from the automatic identification code attached to the package. The code issuing unit 216 can associate the package ID and project ID for each package for which an automatic identification code has been issued and register them in the package information storage unit 2312 included in the input item storage unit 231.

[0044] The identification information receiving unit 211 acquires base station identification information that identifies a logistics base station and package identification information that identifies a package read from an automatic identification code attached to the package (affixed to the package or the package's physical object). As described above, an automatic identification code is affixed to the package or the package's physical object, and the work terminal 10 can read a URL from the automatic identification code and access the URL. Here, examples of the worker 1 who reads the automatic identification code using the work terminal 10 include a person in charge of each logistics base station and a person belonging to a transport company that transports the package to each logistics base station. In response to reading the automatic identification code (or accessing the read URL), the package corresponding to the read automatic identification code is identified, and the identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the package identification information.

[0045] Furthermore, in response to access to the URL, the identification information receiving unit 211 can output a list of available logistics bases to the worker 1 and accept the selection of a logistics base. The identification information receiving unit 211, for example, can identify a logistics base corresponding to the project from the setting information storage unit 2311 and transmit a list of the identified logistics bases (a list of base names) to the work terminal 10, and the work terminal 10 can then accept the designation of a logistics base from the worker 1 and transmit a base ID indicating the accepted logistics base to the server device 20. The identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the base ID transmitted to the server device 20 as base identification information. The identification information receiving unit 211 transmits the acquired package identification information and base identification information to the form output unit 212, which will be described later.

[0046] The form output unit 212 identifies input items corresponding to the package identified by the package identification information and the logistics base identified by the base identification information from the input item storage unit 231, and outputs an input form for receiving input for the identified input items to the work terminal 10 of the worker 1. The form output unit 212 can identify input items (location information, image, electronic signature, input items related to emissions of environmentally hazardous substances, or other input items) corresponding to the project and logistics base from the setting information storage unit 2311 included in the input item storage unit 231, and create a form for inputting the identified input items using, for example, HTML.

[0047] The form output unit 212 at least identifies input items related to the emission of environmentally harmful substances corresponding to the acquired parcel identification information and base location identification information from the setting information storage unit 2311, and outputs an input form including the input items related to the emission of environmentally harmful substances to the work terminal 10. For example, the form output unit 212 identifies a calculation method for the emission of environmentally harmful substances, which is set in advance for each parcel and logistics base location, and input items corresponding to the calculation method, and outputs an input form on which the identified input items are presented. The portion of the input form that presents the input items related to the emission of environmentally harmful substances is referred to as a calculation form. For example, FIG. 8 shows an example of a calculation form including input items related to the emission of environmentally harmful substances. If the conventional ton-kilometer method is set for the logistics base location indicated by the acquired base location identification information, the form output unit 212 outputs a calculation form including the input items shown in FIG. 8( a). The calculation form in FIG. 8( a) includes input fields corresponding to the conventional ton-kilometer method, such as an input field for selecting the vehicle type or transportation method, an input field for the transportation weight, and an input field for the transportation distance.

[0048] Figure 8(b) is an example of a calculation form when the improved ton-kilometer method is set, and this calculation form has input fields for accepting selection of vehicle type, input fields for transport weight, input fields for transport distance, and input fields for loading ratio. Figure 8(c) is an example of a calculation form when the fuel method is set, and this calculation form has input fields for accepting selection of fuel / electricity type, and input fields for fuel consumption. Figure 8(d) is an example of a calculation form when the fuel efficiency method is set, and this calculation form has input fields for accepting selection of whether a commercial vehicle or a private vehicle was used, input fields for accepting selection of vehicle type, and input fields for transport distance.

[0049] When one calculation method is set for one logistics base identified by the base identification information, the form output unit 212 may generate an input form including one calculation form (e.g., FIGS. 8A to 8D) corresponding to the set calculation method. On the other hand, when two or more calculation methods are set for one identified logistics base, the form output unit 212 may generate an input form including multiple calculation forms corresponding to the set calculation methods. When multiple calculation methods are set, an input field may be provided in the input form that allows the worker 1 to select one calculation form corresponding to the actual transportation method. The input form generated by the form output unit 212 may include location information, images, electronic signatures, and other input items set for each package and logistics base, in addition to the calculation form including input items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances exemplified in FIG. 8. Furthermore, the form output unit 212 may generate multiple input forms according to the types of input values ​​accepted for each package and logistics base, and output them to the work terminal 10.

[0050] The input form output by the form output unit 212 includes a project ID, a package ID, and a base ID registered based on the package identification information and base identification information acquired by the identification information receiving unit 211. Other setting information specified when generating the input form (e.g., a calculation method for the amount of environmentally harmful substances emitted set for each logistics base) may also be registered. Furthermore, before sending the form, the form output unit 212 may authenticate the work terminal 10 owned by the worker 1 to determine whether the worker 1 has the authority to input information for the logistics. In this case, the form output unit 212 acquires a group ID corresponding to the project and the authenticated worker 1 from the authorized member storage unit 2342, acquires a permission flag corresponding to the acquired group ID and the base ID indicating the logistics base from the authority group storage unit 2341, and determines whether the worker 1 has the authority based on the permission flag. When an authorized worker 1 is identified (i.e., when it is determined that the work terminal 10 (worker 1) that read the automatic recognition code has the authority), the form output unit 212 may register the person in charge ID in the input form that is output.

[0051] The input unit 213 accepts input values ​​for the input items entered into the form. For example, when the worker 1 receives a calculation form including input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted as shown in FIG. 8 , the worker 1 enters information corresponding to the actual transportation performance (e.g., the vehicle / transportation method used in the actual transportation to the logistics base identified by the base identification information, the actual transportation weight, the actual transportation distance, the actual loading rate, and the actual fuel consumption) into each item (input field) of the calculation form displayed on the work terminal 10. If multiple calculation methods are set for one logistics base, the input unit 213 may present multiple calculation forms, prompt the worker 1 to select one calculation form corresponding to the actual transportation method or transportation vehicle, and accept input values ​​for the selected calculation form. The "transportation weight" entered into the form is the weight of the package managed by the automatic recognition code read when the identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the information.

[0052] If acquisition of location information is set for the logistics base identified by the base identification information, the work terminal 10 may acquire location information of the terminal (worker 1) using GPS or the like and send it to the server device 20, and the input unit 213 may receive this location information. If an input item related to an image is set for the logistics base, the work terminal 10 may send an image of the package taken by a camera to the server 20, and the input unit 213 may receive the image. Similarly, if an input item related to an electronic signature is set for the logistics base, the input unit 213 may receive the electronic signature stored in the work terminal 10 based on an operation by the worker 1.

[0053] The input unit 213 accepts the various input values ​​as described above entered by the worker 1, and registers each input value entered into the form in the tracking database 233 in association with a project ID, a package ID, and a base ID indicating a logistics base. The input information for each package and logistics base registered in the tracking database 233 may include setting information such as a calculation method registered in the input form, along with each input value related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances. After accepting the various input values ​​entered by the worker 1, the input unit 213 transmits each input value related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances to the emission calculation unit 214 described below. The information transmitted from the input unit 213 to the emission calculation unit 214 may include setting information such as a project ID, package ID, base ID, and calculation method registered in the input form used, along with each input value related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances.

[0054] The emission calculation unit 214 calculates the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions associated with the transportation of a package to a logistics base identified by the base identification information, based on each input value related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions received by the input unit 213. For example, after receiving setting information such as a calculation method and input values ​​sent from the input unit 213, the emission calculation unit 214 refers to the calculation method storage unit 232 to identify a calculation formula and fixed values ​​such as an emission coefficient (emission intensity) corresponding to the setting information and input values ​​(i.e., reads the fixed values ​​necessary for calculating the emission amount from the calculation method storage unit 232). The emission calculation unit 214 then substitutes the identified fixed values ​​such as the emission coefficient (emission intensity) and the input values ​​received by the input unit 213 into the calculation formula read from the calculation method storage unit 232 to calculate the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions. The emission calculation unit 214 then associates the calculated amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions with a project ID, a package ID, and a base ID indicating a logistics base, and registers the result in the tracking database 233.

[0055] Furthermore, the emission calculation unit 214 may read out the emission amounts of environmentally hazardous substances for each logistics base stored in association with a specific package (project) in the tracking database 233, and calculate the total amount (total emission amount) of environmentally hazardous substances emitted in conjunction with the transportation of the specific package in the logistics process based on the read-out emission amounts of environmentally hazardous substances. In other words, the emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the total amount (total emission amount for each package) of environmentally hazardous substances emitted from each package from the shipper to the consignee by summing up the emission amounts of environmentally hazardous substances calculated for each logistics base. The emission calculation unit 214 registers the total emission amount calculated in this way in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID and the package ID.

[0056] Next, the flow of the input item setting process will be described with reference to FIG.

[0057] First, a user (e.g., a person in charge of a shipper business) gives an instruction to create a project to the server device 20, and the server device 20 creates the project and assigns a project ID (S501). The setting unit 215 of the server device 20 transmits screen data for displaying a setting screen 40 to the user's terminal. On the user's terminal, a logistics base (tracking point) is created on the setting screen 40 (S502), and setting items (including input items) for the logistics base are input (S503). In step S503, if input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions are to be set, the setting unit 215 transmits screen data for displaying a modal window 45 to the user's terminal. Then, the setting unit 215 accepts designation of at least one calculation method for the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions via the modal window 45 displayed on the user's terminal, and determines input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions at the logistics base based on the designated calculation method.

[0058] The above steps S502 and S503 are repeated until the settings for all logistics bases belonging to the project are completed (S504: NO). When the settings for each logistics base are completed, the setting information (setting values) for each logistics base entered on the setting screen 40 is sent to the server device 20, and the setting information determined for each logistics base is registered in the setting information storage unit 2311 in the server device 20 (S505).

[0059] Next, the flow of the input value registration process that is executed when a package arrives at a predetermined logistics center will be described with reference to Fig. 10. In the following description, an example will be shown in which a QR code (registered trademark) is used as the automatic recognition code.

[0060] When a package arrives at a logistics base, worker 1 photographs the QR code (registered trademark) using work terminal 10, reads the URL from the QR code (registered trademark) (S521), and accesses server device 20 indicated by the read URL (S522). A project ID and package ID are set in the URL, and server device 10 reads the base ID and base name corresponding to the project ID from setting information storage unit 2311 included in input item storage unit 231 and transmits them to work terminal 10. Work terminal 10 receives a list of logistics bases corresponding to the package identified from the read QR code (registered trademark), and accepts designation of one logistics base by worker 1. Then, the base ID indicating the logistics base designated on work terminal 10 is notified to server device 20 (S523).

[0061] The server device 20 authenticates the worker 1 (or the work terminal 10), identifies the group ID corresponding to the project ID and person in charge ID from the authorized member storage unit 2342, reads the permission flag corresponding to the identified group ID and base ID from the authorized group storage unit 2341, and determines whether the worker 1 has the authority to input data based on the read permission flag (S524). If the worker 1 has the authority (S524: YES), the server device 20 reads the input items corresponding to the project ID and base ID from the setting information storage unit 2311, creates a form for inputting the input items using, for example, HTML, and transmits it to the work terminal 10 (S525). The input form transmitted to the work terminal 10 in step S525 includes at least input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted. If multiple calculation methods have been set for the logistics base specified in step S523, an input form including input items corresponding to the multiple calculation methods is transmitted to the work terminal 10. When the worker inputs input values ​​into the form on the work terminal 10, the input values ​​are sent from the work terminal 10 to the server (S526), ​​and the server device 20 associates the received input values ​​with the project ID, package ID, base ID, and the current date and time, and registers them in the tracking database 233 (S527). If multiple calculation methods are set for one logistics base, in step S526, the worker 1 may select an input item corresponding to the actual transportation method or transportation vehicle from the presented input items.

[0062] In step S527, the input unit 213 of the server device 20 transmits the received input values ​​related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances to the emission calculation unit 214. The emission calculation unit 214 then calculates the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances emitted in conjunction with transportation to the logistics base specified in step S523, based on the input values ​​related to the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances, while referencing various fixed values ​​(such as the calculation formula, emission coefficient, and emission intensity) stored in the calculation method storage unit 232. The emission calculation unit 214 of the server device 20 then associates the calculated emissions of environmentally hazardous substances with the project ID, package ID, base ID, and the current date and time, and registers them in the tracking database 233. Furthermore, the emission calculation unit 214 of the server device 20 calculates the total emissions for each package by summing up the emissions of multiple environmentally hazardous substances associated with one project (package) each time the emissions of environmentally hazardous substances are registered in the tracking database 233, or after the input values ​​for all logistics bases belonging to the project have been registered. Then, the emission calculation unit 214 registers the calculated total emission amount in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, the package ID, and the current date and time.

[0063] By performing the above-described input value registration process at each logistics base every time a package arrives, the flow of packages via multiple transport companies and / or multiple transport methods can be tracked using an automatic recognition code (QR Code (registered trademark) is used as an example above). In the logistics management system of this embodiment, setting information can be flexibly registered so that different input values ​​can be accepted for each logistics base, and input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions are set for each package and logistics base. Therefore, the automatic recognition code can be used to track the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions associated with transportation between each logistics base. Therefore, the amount of environmentally hazardous substance emissions for each package from the shipper to the consignee can be easily determined.

[0064] 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for information registered in the tracking database 233. As described above, the input values, environmental load substance emissions, and total emissions for each logistics base are registered in the tracking database 233, and workers 1 (including shippers, consignees, and personnel in charge at logistics bases) can check these input values ​​and environmental load substance emissions.

[0065] In response to a request from the work terminal 10 of the worker 1, the server device 20 can transmit screen data (which can be written in HTML, for example) for displaying the screen 50 shown in Fig. 11. A project ID and a person in charge ID can be specified in the request from the work terminal 10, and the server device 20 can identify a group ID corresponding to the project ID and person in charge ID from the authority storage unit 234, read a pair of a base ID and a permission flag corresponding to the team group ID and project ID, read a record corresponding to the base ID and project ID where the permission flag indicates that viewing of information is permitted from the tracking database 233, include the record in the screen data, and transmit it to the work terminal 10.

[0066] Screen 50 can display a list of the dates and input values ​​registered in the records of the tracking database 233 for each logistics base, and if the record includes location information, it can also display a corresponding map display screen 51. Furthermore, if emissions of environmentally hazardous substances calculated at multiple logistics bases are registered in association with one project ID, screen 50 may display the total emissions of environmentally hazardous substances for the project, which is the sum of these multiple emissions. In this way, the person in charge can view the information registered in the tracking database 233.

[0067] The form output unit 212 may authenticate the work terminal 10 (person in charge) before sending the form and determine whether the person in charge has the authority to input information for the logistics. In this case, the form output unit 212 acquires a group ID corresponding to the project and the authenticated person in charge from the authorized member storage unit 2332, acquires a permission flag corresponding to the acquired group ID and a base ID indicating a logistics base from the authority group storage unit 2331, and determines whether the person in charge has the authority based on the permission flag.

[0068] The above-described embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present disclosure includes equivalents thereof. For example, in the above embodiment, the CO ２ Although the example of the process of tracking emissions has been given, the logistics management system can also track other environmentally hazardous substances (e.g., CH ４ , N ２ O, NO Ｘ , S.O. Ｘ , or PM), or may be applied to tracking a plurality of environmental load substances.

[0069] <Variations> In addition, in a logistics management system, a luggage code affixed to luggage may be used as an automatic recognition code used to track the flow of luggage and the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted, and an object code affixed to an object into which the luggage is placed may also be used.

[0070] In logistics, cargo may be transported individually by truck or the like, or may be transported together with other cargo on a pallet, and the pallet may also be transported together with other pallets in a container. A logistics management system may manage cargo and pallets, and furthermore, the containers in which the pallets are loaded, by linking them together, so that by reading automatic identification codes (item codes) attached to objects such as pallets and containers, it may be possible to track each cargo without reading the automatic identification codes (item codes) attached to each individual cargo.

[0071] For example, the code issuing unit 216 may issue a code for a package (hereinafter referred to as a solo code), a code for an object (hereinafter referred to as a package code) for carrying multiple packages of the same type, such as a pallet, and a code for an object (hereinafter referred to as a consolidation code) for a container or the like that carries multiple pallets, regardless of whether they are of the same type or different types. In this case, the functional unit of the server device 20 may execute a process of pairing the object code issued for the parent object with the child object code (the object code attached to the package to be placed in the object). This pairing may be executed by reading the parent object code (package code or consolidation code) and the child object code when loading multiple packages onto the object. When pairing is executed, pairing information for managing the parent-child relationship between the package and the object may be generated and stored in a pairing database provided in the storage unit of the server device 20.

[0072] The pairing information may include information such as the weight of each package identified by its package code, the weight of other packages loaded on the container (e.g., packages from other shippers not managed by automatic identification codes), the weight of the container itself, and the total weight of the container including the weight of the packages loaded on the container. Such information on the weight of each package may be input via the work terminal 10 when pairing is performed (i.e., when the container code and package code are read and the package is placed on the container), or may be identified by reading it from information registered in the tracking database 233 by registering input values ​​at the previous logistics center. By registering the weight of packages managed by package codes in the pairing information, the ratio of the weight of each package to the total weight of the container, including the package weight, can be determined.

[0073] If the pairing of the package code and the object code is performed as described above, when the object carrying the package arrives at a predetermined logistics center, the input value registration process may be performed by reading the object code instead of the package code. For example, when the work terminal 10 reads the object code attached to the object (or accesses the URL read from the object code) when the package arrives, the identification information receiving unit 211 may refer to a pairing database in which pairing information is stored to identify the child package code linked to the parent object code, as well as the package ID and project ID corresponding to the package code, and acquire package identification information.

[0074] Furthermore, when inputting information regarding the emission amount of environmentally harmful substances into an input form generated by reading a container code, the total weight (including the weight of the cargo carried) of the container corresponding to the read container code may be entered in the transportation weight field. The emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the emission amount of environmentally harmful substances for the transportation of the container based on the set calculation method and the input total weight of the container. In this case, the emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the emission amount of each cargo carried on the container from the emission amount of environmentally harmful substances calculated based on the total weight of the container, taking into account the pairing information. In other words, the emission amount of environmentally harmful substances calculated based on the total weight of the container may be calculated by apportioning the emission amount of each cargo included in the container (the cargo identified by the paired cargo code). The method of apportionment is not particularly limited. For example, if the pairing information includes the weight ratio of each cargo to the total weight of the container, the emission amount may be apportioned by multiplying the emission amount of environmentally harmful substances calculated based on the total weight of the container by the weight ratio. After allocating the emissions in this manner, the emission calculation unit 214 may register the allocated amount of environmentally harmful substances emitted for each package in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, package ID, base ID, and current date and time.
