Taxi dispatch control system and method for taxi dispatching
In a taxi dispatch control system and method for taxi dispatching, the system comprising customer terminal, driver's terminal, and a management server owned by a taxi managing company. The customer terminal sends a dispatch request to the management server (S 1 ), the management server creates a passenger information list not dispatching based on the dispatch request from the customer terminal (S 2 ). The driver's terminal which the driver worker signed accession to the taxi dispatch service can browse the passenger information list not dispatching. After browse the passenger information list not dispatching, driver worker can send a notice of wish to pick up customer as a will indication from the driver's terminal (S 9 ). The driver worker can work by receiving dispatch requests at their own convenient time and reduce the useless waiting time of driver worker.
1. A taxi dispatch control system comprising:
a customer terminal possessed by a customer that is connectable to a network;
a driver's terminal mounted on a car driven by a driver worker that is connectable to the network; and
a management server controlled by a taxi managing company that provides and manages a dispatch service for the customer terminal using a customer application and for the driver's terminal using a driver application, the management server being connectable to the network;
wherein in the taxi dispatch control system,
the customer terminal is configured to send a dispatch request, including a pick-up location, a location information of the customer terminal acquired as GPS information and a destination, to the management server by the customer using the customer application,
the management server creates a list of passengers to be dispatched based on the received dispatch request designated to a certain time from the customer terminal and receives a notice of wish to pick up customer sent from the driver's terminal by the driver worker who browses the list of passengers to be dispatched,
the driver's terminal is configured so that the driver worker can browse the list of passengers to be dispatched displayed on the driver's terminal screen by using the driver application, and the driver worker can send the notice of wish to pick up customer as the wish of the driver worker after browsing the list of passengers to be dispatched,
the driver's terminal is configured to send a location information of the driver's terminal acquired as GPS information at that time to the management server when sending the notice of wish to pick up customer,
the management server is configured to determine whether the driver's terminal is suitable for pick up based on the location information of the driver's terminal and the location information of the customer terminal,
the management server is configured to send a notice of a pick-up decision to the driver's terminal when the driver's terminal is determined suitable for pick-up and to register the location information to be continuously transmitted from the driver's terminal after receiving a notice of start of pick-up from the driver's terminal,
the driver's terminal becomes capable of transmitting the notice of start of pick-up to the management server after receiving the notice of the pick-up decision and is configured to continuously transmit its own location information to the management server for registration and thereafter to send a notice of the completion of transportation to the management server after picking up the customer and arriving at a destination,
the driver's terminal is configured to continuously send the location information of the driver's terminal to the management server during a time from the notice of start of pick-up to the notice of the completion of transportation,
the management server is configured to receive the notice of the completion of transportation that was transmitted from the driver's terminal when the driver arrives at the destination,
the management server is configured to determine that the driver worker has started working during actual working hours when receiving the notice of start of pick-up from the driver's terminal, to calculate and accumulate remaining working hours, and to notify the driver's terminal of the remaining working hours,
the management server immediately sends dispatch request information to the driver's terminal at a time for a continuous registration of the location information of the driver's terminal, and
when the driver's terminal of the driver worker who has acquired the remaining working hours sends a notice for starting of the remaining working hours to the management server, the management server continuously registers the location information of the driver's terminal so that the driver's terminal can preferentially receive a prompt pick-up request from the management server.
2. The taxi dispatch control system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein
the management server is configured to calculate and accumulate the remaining working hours based on a sales amount recorded upon the completion of a transportation service by the driver worker, on a standard wage to be delivered to the driver worker, and on driving hours before and after picking up the customer during the transportation service, said remaining working hours being used to compensate for a predetermined wage, and
when the driver worker does not continue to work, the driver's terminal sends a notice of termination of remaining working hour to the management server to end the continuous registration of the location information of the driver's terminal.
