VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18128722 titled 'VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a management server that executes a process for setting usage fees based on the load state of vehicles on a forwarding route. The process includes acquiring operation information, setting a traveling route, setting a first usage fee for high load vehicles, setting a second higher usage fee for low load vehicles, setting a usage fee for vehicles on a normal route, and transmitting fee information to the vehicle.

  • The management server acquires operation information and sets a traveling route.
  • A first usage fee is set for vehicles on a forwarding route in a high load state.
  • A second higher usage fee is set for vehicles on a forwarding route in a low load state.
  • A usage fee is set for vehicles on a normal route.
  • Fee information is transmitted to the vehicle.

Potential Applications

  • Transportation and logistics companies can use this technology to optimize their operations and revenue by setting usage fees based on the load state of vehicles.
  • Ride-sharing platforms can implement this technology to incentivize drivers to pick up passengers in areas with high demand and low vehicle load.

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient resource allocation: This technology helps in optimizing the allocation of vehicles by setting different usage fees based on their load state.
  • Revenue maximization: By setting higher usage fees for low load vehicles, the system encourages drivers to pick up more passengers and maximize revenue.

Benefits

  • Efficient resource allocation: The system ensures that vehicles are allocated effectively by incentivizing drivers to pick up passengers in areas with high demand.
  • Increased revenue: By setting higher usage fees for low load vehicles, the system encourages drivers to maximize their occupancy and revenue potential.


Original Abstract Submitted

A management server executes a process including: a step of acquiring operation information) when an execution condition is established; a step of setting a traveling route; a step of setting a first usage fee as a fee, when there is a vehicle set on a forwarding route, and when the vehicle on the forwarding route is in a high load state; a step of setting a second usage fee that is higher than the first usage fee as the usage fee when the vehicle on the forwarding route is in a low load state; a step of setting a usage fee for the vehicle on a normal route; and a step of transmitting fee information to the vehicle.
