Shared vehicle dispatch system and method

1 . A shared vehicle dispatch system for electric vehicles, the system comprising:

a shared vehicle comprising a vehicle controller configured to learn driving pattern information of a user;

a user terminal, operated by the user, equipped with a dedicated application installed for requesting dispatch of the shared vehicle; and

an operation server communicating with the shared vehicle to receive the learned driving pattern information, and

wherein the operation server determines a driver grade for the user who operated the shared vehicle based on the received driving pattern information;

wherein the vehicle controller learns the driving pattern information using operational data related to vehicle speed or battery status during the operation of the shared vehicle, the driving pattern information comprising at least one of a number of rapid accelerations, a number of sudden decelerations, an average driving speed, and a battery state of charge (SOC) consumption, and

wherein the operation server assigns a driving score to the user based on the driving pattern information received from the vehicle controller of the shared vehicle and classifies the driver into one of at least two grades based on the assigned driving score; and

an operator device provided to a company engaging in a shared vehicle provisioning business to manage a plurality of shared vehicles, and communicating with the operation server to receive the determined driver grade, wherein the operator device, upon receiving a dispatch request from the user terminal, matches the driver grade received from the operation server and state of charge (SOC) of the battery installed in the shared vehicle, and dispatches the shared vehicle based on the matching result.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operation server, upon the shared vehicle being returned, receives state of health (SOH) and SOC of the battery installed in the shared vehicle.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operator device matches shared vehicles equipped with batteries having relatively higher SOH, among the available shared vehicles for dispatch, to driver grades corresponding to relatively lower driving scores, and shared vehicles equipped with batteries having relatively lower SOH to driver grades corresponding to relatively higher driving scores.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the user terminal provides a list of matched shared vehicles to the user through the application.

5 . A shared vehicle dispatch method for electric vehicles, the method comprising:

learning, at a vehicle controller installed in a shared vehicle, driving pattern information during operation of the shared vehicle;

determining, at an operation server receiving the driving pattern information, a driver grade for the user who operated the shared vehicle based on the received driving pattern information; and

dispatching, at an operator device provided to a company engaging in a shared vehicle provisioning business to manage a plurality of shared vehicles, the shared vehicle based on the determined driver grade;

wherein the learning of driving patter information comprises learning the driving pattern information using operational data related to vehicle speed or battery status during the operation of the shared vehicle, the driving pattern information comprising at least one of number of rapid accelerations, number of sodden deceleration, average driving speed, and battery state of charge (SOC) consumption;

wherein the determining of a driver grade comprises:

assigning a driving score to the user based on the learned driving pattern information; and

classifying the driver into one of at least two grades based on the assigned driving score; and

wherein the dispatching of the shared vehicle comprises:

matching, upon receiving a dispatch request from a user terminal operated by the user, the classified driver grade and state of charge (SOC) of the battery installed in the shared vehicle; and

dispatching the shared vehicle based on the matching result.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the dispatching of the shared vehicle comprises matching shared vehicles equipped with batteries having relatively higher SOH, among the available shared vehicles for dispatch, to driver grades corresponding to relatively lower driving scores, and shared vehicles equipped with batteries having relatively lower SOH to driver grades corresponding to relatively higher driving scores.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the dispatching of the shared vehicle comprises providing, at the user terminal, a list of the matched shared vehicles to dispatch the shared vehicle selected by the user.
