recommending a point where a traffic volume is lower than or equal to a preset traffic volume based on hourly traffic volume, recommending a point where a ride-hailing vehicle demand is higher than or equal to a preset ride-hailing vehicle demand based on hourly ride-hailing vehicle demand, recommending a point at a preset distance from a traffic signal, or recommending a point at where a number of lanes is greater than or equal to a preset number as a location within the polygon service area in which the stop is settable based on information related to traffic within the polygon service area,

setting the stop base on the recommended location within the polygon service area;

setting a line using the stop within the polygon service area, wherein the setting the line comprises:

setting a route type of the line to one of FIXED ROUTING and FREE ROUTING,

in response to receiving a route type-selecting input for selecting FIXED ROUTING as a route type of the line, enabling route setting, and

receiving a route-connecting input for setting a route connecting at least one selected stop among a plurality of stops set within the polygon service area, and setting the line based on the received route-connecting input,

wherein the setting the line based on the received route-connecting input comprises recommending one route from among a plurality of candidate routes for setting a next route from a point at which setting of the route is completed, based on at least one of the information related to traffic, operation time information of the line, and operation condition information of stops included in the line about each of the plurality of candidate routes,

wherein the information related to traffic includes at least one of traffic volume, vehicle demand, traffic signal, and lane information in the polygon service area,

wherein the plurality of candidate routes are determined in units of road identifiers (IDs) set based on road attribute information; and

controlling movement of a vehicle to autonomously drive along the set line.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of the coordinate information comprises specifying the plurality of points on the map, and obtaining the coordinate information corresponding to the specified plurality of points.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the polygon service area comprises registering a vehicle-type product that is operable in the polygon service area, and

the method further comprises, in response to receiving an input for searching for a certain vehicle-type product, outputting, from among a plurality of set polygon service areas, a polygon service area in which the certain vehicle-type product is registered.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the vehicle to drive through the line comprises generating control signal which can control the vehicle to drive through the line.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the stop further comprises

setting a maximum waiting time for which a vehicle is able to be stopped at the stop.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the line comprises setting a stop type of the line, and

the stop type comprises FIXED STOP and FREE STOP.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the line comprises setting the set line as any one of a round-trip line or a one-way line.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the setting of the line comprises:

in response to receiving an input for selecting FIXED STOP as the stop type of a type of the line, enabling stop selection;

selecting at least one stop from among a plurality of stops included in the polygon service area; and

setting the line based on the selected at least one stop.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a visit type of the selected at least one stop is set to any one of a mandatory-visit stop or an optional-visit stop.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the line further comprises:

based on a particular route in the set route overlapping a route of another line, determining a detour route that is able to replace the particular route; and

setting the line by using the detour route.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting of the line further comprises, based on a starting stop and an end stop of the set route being identical to each other, determining the line comprising the corresponding route as a circular line.

12 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising allocating a vehicle to the set line,

wherein the allocating of the vehicle comprises:

identifying, from among a plurality of operational vehicles registered in a database, vehicles corresponding to the set vehicle-type product; and

allocating at least some of the identified vehicles to the set line.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the allocating of the vehicle further comprises:

obtaining an allocation request time for allocating a vehicle to the set line; and

determining whether the identified vehicles are allocable to the set line by comparing the allocation request time with possible operation durations of the identified vehicles.

14 . A device for setting a line within a polygon service area, the device comprising:

a memory storing at least one program; and

a processor configured to executing the at least one program to perform an operation,

wherein the processor is further configured to obtain coordinate information about a plurality of points on a map, set a polygon service area by using the obtained coordinate information, set a stop in the polygon service area and set a line within the polygon service area using the stop,

wherein the setting the stop comprises:

recommending a point where a traffic volume is lower than or equal to a preset traffic volume based on hourly traffic volume, recommending a point where a ride-hailing vehicle demand is higher than or equal to a preset ride-hailing vehicle demand based on hourly ride-hailing vehicle demand, recommending a point at a preset distance from a traffic signal, or recommending a point at where a number of lanes is greater than or equal to a preset number as a location within the polygon service area in which the stop is settable based on information related to traffic within the polygon service area, and

setting the stop base on the recommended location within the polygon service area,

wherein the setting the line comprises:

setting a route type of the line to one of FIXED ROUTING and FREE ROUTING,

in response to receiving a route type-selecting input for selecting FIXED ROUTING as a route type of the line, enabling route setting, and

receiving a route-connecting input for setting a route connecting at least one selected stop among a plurality of stops set within the polygon service area, and setting the line based on the received route-connecting input,

wherein the setting the line based on the received route-connecting input comprises recommending one route from among a plurality of candidate routes for setting a next route from a point at which setting of the route is completed, based on at least one of the information related to traffic, operation time information of the line, and operation condition information of stops included in the line about each of the plurality of candidate routes,

wherein the information related to traffic includes at least one of traffic volume, vehicle demand, traffic signal, and lane information in the polygon service area,

wherein the plurality of candidate routes are determined in units of road identifiers (IDs) set based on road attribute information, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control movement of a vehicle to autonomously derive along the set line.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a computer to execute the method of claim 1 .
