【0013】
[Example]
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.
【0014】
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an area suitable for introducing a shared vehicle operation system.
【0015】
A suitable area for introducing this shared vehicle operation system is a city that exists within the range where it is possible to commute by rail to a large city. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, there is a railway station 1 in the center of the area, and within the range where you can commute from this station 1 by car, bus, etc. (distance from the station is about 10 KM). It is a city with a residential area 2 such as a housing complex, and a small and medium-sized factory facility 3 near the station, a hospital, a school facility 4, and a shopping district 5 centered around the station. In the vicinity of the station 1 in such a city, the ICVS vehicle port 6 that plays a central role in the shared vehicle operation system described above is provided.
【0016】
In this area, the movement of people starts from the residential area 2 such as the housing complex to the station 1 at the earliest time of the day. The person heading to this station 1 is a person who goes to work by rail at a place of work in a big city. Next, the movement of people from station 1 to facility 3 of the factory existing around the station begins. The person heading to the factory from this station 1 is the person who goes to work at facility 3 of the factory around the station. Next, the movement of people from station 1 to school and hospital facility 4 begins. Those who go to facility 4 of this school and hospital are those who go to school and those who are examined at the hospital. Next, the flow of people from station 1 to the shopping district 5 around the station begins. The person heading to this shopping street 5 is a person who shop in the shopping street 5 around the station.
【0017】
In the afternoon hours, people heading from shopping street 5 around the station to station 1, people heading from facility 4 of schools and hospitals to station 1, people heading from facility 3 of factories around the station to station 1. , The movement of people from station 1 to residential area 2 such as housing complex occurs at different times.
【0018】
In this way, there is a base that is the center of movement of people, and the area where movement of people between destinations occurs at different times for each group is a shared vehicle operation system using the ICVS vehicle 7 described above. It is the best area to introduce.
【0019】
Next, the ICVS vehicle 7 will be described.
【0020】
FIG. 2A is an external view of the ICVS vehicle 7. The ICVS vehicle 7 shown in this figure is a four-wheel, one-seater, ultra-compact electric vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2B, the ICVS vehicle 7 is provided with a driver's seat 21 and a battery 22 for driving a vehicle propulsion motor. The ICVS vehicle 7 uses a battery 22 to drive a motor for vehicle propulsion to perform manual driving or automatic driving.
【0021】
Here, by making the ICVS vehicle 7 an ultra-small vehicle, the parking space can be effectively used.
【0022】
Further, by using the ICVS vehicle 7 as an electric vehicle, it is possible to reduce noise and eliminate the generation of exhaust gas.
【0023】
The ICVS vehicle 7 is not limited to four wheels and may be three wheels. Furthermore, the ICVS vehicle 7 is not limited to one-seater, but is two-seater as shown in FIG. 2 (c). May be good. Here, if the ICVS vehicle 7 has three wheels, the vehicle 7 can be further miniaturized and the parking space can be effectively utilized.
【0024】
Figure 3 shows the relationship between the cruising range of ICVS vehicle 7 and the energy density. Here, the energy density refers to the ratio of the lead battery mounted on the ICVS vehicle 7 to the vehicle weight including the weight of a person (battery weight / (vehicle weight + person (60 kg))). As shown in the region of reference numeral 31 in FIG. 3, the one-seater ICVS vehicle 7 is a vehicle with a cruising range of 20 to 40 kilometers and an energy density of 29% to 33%. Also, as shown in the area of reference numeral 32 in FIG. 3, the two-seater ICVS vehicle 7 is a vehicle having a cruising range of 15 to 30 kilometers and an energy density of 27% to 30%.
【0025】
Here, the performance of the lead battery is determined by the number of electrode plates, in other words, the weight of the lead battery, but if the cost of the lead battery rises too much due to the improved performance, it is possible to operate this system. The performance of the ICVS vehicle 7 is limited to the above-mentioned areas 31 and 32 because it cannot be performed.
【0026】
Although a lead battery is used in this embodiment, not only a lead battery but also a nickel-cadmium battery or the like can be used. Here, when a nickel-cadmium battery is used, the weight can be reduced as compared with a lead battery, the large current characteristic is good, the low temperature characteristic is excellent, the overcharge is strong, and maintenance is easy.
【0027】
It is also possible to use a gasoline engine vehicle as the ICVS vehicle 7. In this case, the price of the vehicle itself can be kept low as compared with the case of using an electric vehicle.
【0028】
Next, the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle attached to the station 1 will be described.
【0029】
FIG. 4 shows the structure of the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle attached to the station 1. Reference numeral 401 denotes a wall of a building, and an openable door 402 is provided in a part of the wall 401. An optical sensor 403 for detecting the presence of the ICVS vehicle 7 is provided in the vicinity of the openable door 402. Further, inside the openable door 402, a vehicle weight meter 404 for measuring the vehicle weight of the ICVS vehicle 7 is provided.
【0030】
It should be noted that the inside of this building is shielded from the outside world by the wall of the building so that no one can enter.
【0031】
In addition, a parking area 405 for ICVS vehicles divided into three areas, A, B, and C, is provided in the building, and each area has five ICVS vehicles. A constant pressure charger (A section: 406-1 to 406-5, B section: 406-6 to 406-10, C section: 406-11 to 406-15) is provided. Among these constant pressure type chargers, the constant pressure type chargers (406-1 to 406-5) provided in the A section are the constant pressure type chargers (406-6 to 406-) at the power supply gate 407-1. 10) is connected to the power supply gate 407-2, and the constant pressure chargers (406-11 to 406-15) are connected to the power supply gate 407-3 to receive power supply.
【0032】
Further, the power supply gates (407-1 to 407-3) are connected to the external power supply 408 to receive power supply, and are also connected to the power supply control device 410 (control device) by the control signal cable 409 to be connected to the power supply gate. Receives a signal to control (407-1 to 407-3).
【0033】
Further, in the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle, the parking area control device 411 (parking area determination device) that determines the parking area of the ICVS vehicle 7 and the ICVS vehicle 7 based on the determined parking area can be installed in any of the A to C wards. A vehicle guidance device 413 that guides the area is provided. Here, the parking area control device 411 and the vehicle guidance device 413 are connected by a data transfer cable 412.
【0034】
Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the operation of the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle when the ICVS vehicle 7 is parked in the parking area 405 for the ICVS vehicle will be described.
【0035】
When the ICVS vehicle 7 reaches the opening / closing door 402 of the port 6, the ICVS vehicle is detected by the optical sensor 403 (see FIG. 5 (a)), and the opening / closing door 402 is opened (see FIG. 5 (b)). ). The driver of the ICVS vehicle 7 drives the vehicle 7 to move the ICVS vehicle 7 onto the vehicle weight gauge 404 in the opening / closing door 402, and then disembarks from the ICVS vehicle 7 (see FIG. 5 (c)). ).
【0036】
When the vehicle weight detected by the vehicle weight gauge 404 is within the specified range, the opening / closing door 402 is closed (see FIG. 5 (d)), and then the vehicle status information such as the remaining battery level and the vehicle usage time is obtained. Is transmitted to the parking area control device 411 by a radio signal. The parking area control device 411 determines the parking area of the vehicle from the parking area determination information such as the vehicle state information received from the vehicle and the current time information held by the parking position control device 411 itself, and is determined. The parking area is transferred to the vehicle guidance device 413 via the data transfer cable 412. The vehicle guidance device 413 generates a guided radio wave to the ICVS vehicle 7 based on the transferred parking area.
【0037】
Therefore, the ICVS vehicle 7 automatically travels to the determined parking area 405 based on the vehicle condition information described above (see FIG. 5 (e)).
【0038】
In this way, by blocking the entry of a person into the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle and automatically running the ICVS vehicle 7, it is possible to eliminate an accident resulting in injury or death in the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle. In addition, the space for people to get on and off and the space for moving to the parking position can be eliminated, and the parking space can be effectively used.
【0039】
After that, the battery of the ICVS vehicle 7 guided to the parking area 405 is charged by the constant pressure type chargers (406-1 to 406-15) controlled by the power supply control device 410.
【0040】
Next, the operation of the power supply control device 410 provided in the port 6 for the ICVS vehicle will be described.
【0041】
Whether or not this power control device 410 supplies power to the constant pressure type chargers (406-1 to 406-15) in each area by controlling the power supply gates (407-1 to 407-3). To specify. That is, the power control device 410 quickly charges the constant pressure chargers (406-1 to 406-15) installed in each area based on the vehicle usage prediction information such as time, day of the week, weather, and temperature. Instructs the charging pattern of normal charging and non-charging.
【0042】
Here, as the charging pattern of the constant pressure type chargers (406-1 to 406-15) installed in each area, as shown in FIG. 6, patterns 1 to 4 are defined, and patterns are defined. 1 is A ward: uncharged, B ward: uncharged, C ward: normal charge, pattern 2 is A ward: uncharged, B ward: normal charge, C ward: quick charge, pattern 3 is , A ward: non-charged, B ward: quick charge, C ward: quick charge, and pattern 4 is A ward: normal charge, B ward: quick charge, C ward: quick charge.
【0043】
Therefore, for example, during the time zone from 11 am to 2 pm on weekdays, the number of vehicles used is expected to be small from 2 pm to 5 pm, so charging pattern 1 is selected and parked in the C ward. Only the vehicle is normally charged. In addition, during the time zone from 2 pm to 5 pm on weekdays, the number of vehicles used from 5 pm to 8 pm is expected to be the normal number used by people returning home from the station, so charging pattern 2 Is selected, the vehicle parked in the B ward is normally charged, and the vehicle parked in the C ward is quickly charged.
【0044】
Furthermore, if it is expected to rain from 5 pm to 8 pm during the time zone from 2 pm to 5 pm on weekdays, the number of vehicles used from 5 pm to 8 pm will return home from the station. It is expected that there will be more than the normal number used by those who do. Therefore, since it becomes necessary to prepare a large number of vehicles that have been charged, charging pattern 4 is selected, and the vehicles parked in the A ward are normally charged and parked in the B ward and the C ward. The vehicle is quickly charged.
【0045】
In this way, the utilization efficiency of the ICVS vehicle 7 can be improved by selecting the charging pattern according to the number of vehicles expected to be used.
【0046】
In addition to detecting the weight of the ICVS vehicle 7 to confirm that no people, luggage, etc. are on it, it is also possible to use image recognition. That is, by storing an image of the driver's seat of the ICVS vehicle 7 in advance and comparing this stored image with the image of the driver's seat of the ICVS vehicle 7 that has entered the inside of the retractable door 402, a person , Make sure that no luggage is on board.
【0047】
Furthermore, it is possible to use a thermal sensor to confirm that no one is on board.
【0048】
Further, the driver who gets off the vehicle can close the openable door 402 by pressing the button for closing the openable door 402. However, in this case, the ICVS vehicle 7 will not automatically run for a certain period of time after the door is closed, and the ICVS vehicle 7 will stand by at that position and the button for opening the openable door 402 will be operated again. You need to be able to open the door. By doing so, even if the door is closed with luggage or the like on it, it can be taken out afterwards.
【0049】
Further, in this embodiment, the wireless signal is used when the vehicle state information is transferred to the parking area control device 411, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a cable for data transfer can also be used. In this case, it is necessary to provide a terminal for connecting the data transmission cable to the ICVS vehicle 7.
【0050】
Further, in this embodiment, when the ICVS vehicle 7 is guided to the parking area 405, the vehicle guidance device 413 emits a guided radio wave, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the cable is buried in the ground or laid on the ground. It is also possible to guide the vehicle 7 to the parking area 405 by generating a magnetic field or an electric field from the ICVS vehicle 7 and detecting the magnetic field or the electric field.
【0051】
Next, the operating state of the shared vehicle operation system will be described.
【0052】
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the number of ICVS vehicles 7 rented from port 6 for ICVS vehicles and the number of ICVS vehicles 7 returned to port 6 for ICVS vehicles.
【0053】
In FIG. 7, the vertical axis shows the number of ICVS vehicles 7, and the horizontal axis shows the time. The upper side of the horizontal axis is the number of ICVS vehicles 7 returned to port 6 for ICVS vehicles, and the lower side of the horizontal axis is the number of ICVS vehicles 7 rented from port 6 for ICVS vehicles.
【0054】
In the figure, 70 is the number of people who came to station 1 from the residential area 2 for commuting using the ICVS vehicle 7 and returned the vehicle to the port 6. This is the one in which the vehicle 7 was rented from the port 6 yesterday, and the person who returned home used the vehicle 7 to go to work and then returned it to the port 6. In addition, the ICVS vehicle 7 is rented from the station 1 to a person who goes to work at the facility 3 of the factory around the station. This loan is made at a time slightly later than the return by the commuter from the residential area 2, and the number of the loan is shown by the curve 71 in the figure. In addition, ICVS vehicle 7 is rented to those who go to school or hospital facility 4 at a time slightly later than this rental (see 72 in the figure), and then a little later, shopping in shopping district 5. It is also rented out to those who go to (see 73 in the figure). In addition, ICVS vehicle 7 is for those who return to station 1 from shopping street 5 (see 74 in the figure), those who return to station 1 from facility 4 of schools and hospitals (see 75 in the figure), and small and medium-sized factories around the station. Returned by a person returning from Facility 3 to Station 1 (see 76 in the figure). Furthermore, it is rented out to those who return from station 1 to the residential area 2 around the station (see 77 in the figure).
【0055】
The ICVS vehicle 7 will be rented and returned to those who move for lunch around noon.
【0056】
FIG. 8 is a model representation of the number of ICVS vehicles 7 rented and returned as shown in FIG. Similar to FIG. 7, this FIG. 8 also displays the number of ICVS vehicles 7 on the vertical axis and the time on the horizontal axis. The upper side of the horizontal axis shows the number of ICVS vehicles 7 returned to port 6, and the lower side of the horizontal axis shows the number of ICVS vehicles 7 rented from port 6. FIG. 8 is a model of a time zone in which the number of ICVS vehicles 7 is large and a continuous time zone in which the number of rental units is large. Curve 81 shows the number of returned ICVS vehicles 7, and curve 81 is the ICVS vehicle 7. Shows the number of rentals.
【0057】
Here, in order to represent a point representing the area formed by the curve 81 and the horizontal axis shown in FIG. 8, that is, the return area and the area formed by the curve 82 and the horizontal axis, that is, the rental area. , Introduce the concept of "center of gravity". The center of gravity of the area surrounded by the curve 81 in the figure and the horizontal axis is the point indicated by 83 in the figure. The center of gravity of the area surrounded by the curve of 82 in the figure and the horizontal axis is the point represented by 84 in the figure.
【0058】
The "center of gravity" is a point that balances each of the above regions.
【0059】
Therefore, by using the center of gravity to express the characteristics of each curve in this way, the characteristics of each curve can be accurately expressed.
【0060】
In this shared vehicle operation system, it is necessary that there is a time difference of 0.5 to 2 hours (see 85 in the figure) between the center of gravity point 83 of the return area and the center of gravity point 84 of the rental area. .. The reason for this is that the time of 0.5 to 2 hours is used for maintenance for renting the ICVS vehicle 7, for example, if the ICVS vehicle 7 is an electric vehicle, the battery is charged, etc., in the case of a gasoline vehicle. This is because refueling and the like are performed.
【0061】
In this way, the ICVS vehicle 7 can be operated most efficiently by providing a time difference of 0.5 to 2 hours between the center of gravity point 83 of the return area and the center of gravity point 84 of the rental area. it can.
【0062】
Here, the general relationship between the battery charging current and time and the battery charging capacity and time with respect to the battery 22 mounted on the ICVS vehicle 7 will be described.
【0063】
FIG. 9A shows the relationship between the battery charging current (number of chargers) and time when the total battery capacity (number of vehicles) is constant. As is clear from this graph, when the total battery capacity (number of vehicles) is constant, charging can be performed in a short time if the number of chargers increases.
【0064】
Further, FIG. 9B shows the relationship between the total charging capacity (number of vehicles) and the time when the charging current (number of chargers) is constant. As is clear from this graph, when the charging current (the number of chargers) is constant, the charging time becomes longer as the number of vehicles increases. Fig. 9 (c) is a composite of Fig. 9 (a) and Fig. 9 (b).
【0065】
The minimum number of ICVS vehicles 7 owned for proper operation of this shared vehicle operation system is determined by the number of members who use this system, battery charging time, and the like. When the minimum number of units owned is drawn on the horizontal axis based on Fig. 9 (c), it intersects with the graph of charging current in Fig. 9 (a) at 0.5 hours, and also with the graph of total charging capacity in Fig. 9 (b). It will cross at 2.0 hours.
【0066】
In this way, based on the relationship between the graph of charging current in FIG. 9 (a) and the graph of total charging capacity in FIG. 9 (b), the return area is considered by considering the minimum number of ICVS vehicles 7 owned. The optimum time difference (0.5 hours to 2.0 hours) between the center of gravity point 83 of the above and the center of gravity point 84 of the rental area can be determined.
【0067】
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.
【0068】
In the description of the second embodiment, the reference numbers used in the first embodiment are used for the parts common to the first embodiment.
【0069】
As shown in FIG. 10, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there is a railway station 1 in the center of the area, and commuting from this station 1 using a car, a bus, or the like. There are residential areas 2 such as housing complexes within the possible range (distance from the station is about 10 KM), and there are 3 small and medium-sized factory facilities near the station 1, hospitals, school facilities 4 and shopping centers around the station. There is a central shopping district 5. In this second embodiment, the main port 6 for ICVS vehicles is provided in the vicinity of the station 1, and the mini port 8 for ICVS vehicles is provided in the hospital 4 and the shopping center 5. This miniport 8 for the ICVS vehicle has a parking area for the ICVS vehicle 7 like the main port 6 for the ICVS vehicle, but does not have the equipment to charge the battery 22 of the ICVS vehicle 7.
【0070】
The main port 6 for the ICVS vehicle has the same configuration as the main port of the first embodiment.
【0071】
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining the configuration of the mini port 8 for the ICVS vehicle. The miniport 8 for this ICVS vehicle is unmanned by being blocked from the outside world by the wall 1101 of the building. A part of the wall 1101 of this building is provided with an opening / closing door 1102 for the ICVS vehicle 7 to enter and exit. Further, a parking area 1103 for ICVS vehicles is provided in the wall 1101, and the parking area 1103 is divided by a white line 1105 for each area 1104 in which each vehicle 7 is parked, and further, each area 1104. Each is equipped with a car stop 1106.
【0072】
Further, a data communication device 1107 for performing data communication with the ICVS vehicle 7 is provided in the vicinity of the opening / closing door 1102 for the ICVS vehicle 7 to enter and exit. The data communication device 1107 communicates the current parking status of the miniport 8 with the main port 6 (see FIG. 10) for the ICVS vehicle. Further, the data communication device 1107 stores the map information in the miniport 8. In addition, the data communication device 1107 is provided with a start button 1108 that instructs the automatic running of the ICVS vehicle 7.
【0073】
Further, a start point 1109 formed by a white line is provided in front of the opening / closing door 1102 of the mini port 8.
【0074】
Next, the operating state of the ICVS vehicle 7 from the main port 6 to the mini port 8 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
【0075】
First, the driver receives a loan of ICVS vehicle 7 from the main port 6 (step S1). The driver manually drives the rented ICVS vehicle 7 (step S2). In this case, the driver receives data communication from the main port 6 about the availability of each mini port 8.
【0076】
Therefore, the driver determines the congestion status of the shopping center, hospital, etc. based on the vacancy status of the miniport 8 that has received the communication, and determines the destination.
【0077】
When the driver of the ICVS vehicle 7 arriving at the predetermined miniport positions the vehicle 7 at the start point 1109 in front of the opening / closing door 1102 of the miniport 8, the vehicle 7 is stopped and the driver gets off the vehicle 7 (step). S3). After that, when the driver instructs the automatic driving of the ICVS vehicle 7 by operating the start button 1108 provided on the data communication device 1107 (step S4), the operation of the vehicle 7 is switched from manual to automatic. The ICVS vehicle 7 receives communication of map data in the miniport 8 from the data communication device 1107 (step S5). The miniport 8 opens the opening / closing door 1102 when the communication of the map data in the miniport 8 is completed. After that, the ICVS vehicle 7 automatically travels in the miniport 8 based on the map data in the miniport 8 (step S6). The ICVS vehicle 7 detects the white line 1105 (step S7) and parks in the parking area 1104 of each vehicle (step S8).
【0078】
Therefore, by providing such a mini port 8 for the ICVS vehicle at a place such as a store or a hospital which is a destination for movement within the area, the ICVS vehicle 7 can be operated efficiently.
【0079】
In this embodiment, when the ICVS vehicle 7 is parked in the parking area 1103 for the ICVS vehicle, the vehicle automatically travels in the miniport 8 based on the map data in the miniport 8. It is also possible to make the ICVS vehicle 7 automatically drive by receiving the guided radio wave from the data communication device 1107.
