TAXI VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND TAXI VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466559 titled 'TAXI VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND TAXI VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for managing taxi vehicles based on the driver's contribution to demand response for energy management. The fare of the taxi vehicle is calculated using the driver's degree of contribution to demand response, with the fare decreasing as the driver's contribution increases.
- Evaluating driver's contribution to demand response based on history information
- Determining fare calculation formula based on driver's contribution
- Fare decreases as driver's contribution to demand response increases
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the transportation industry to incentivize drivers to contribute to energy management efforts.
Problems Solved
1. Encouraging drivers to participate in demand response programs 2. Efficiently managing energy usage in taxi vehicles
Benefits
1. Lower fares for passengers 2. Reduced energy consumption in taxi vehicles 3. Increased driver engagement in energy management initiatives
Potential Commercial Applications
- Optimizing Taxi Fare Calculation based on Driver's Contribution to Demand Response
- Unanswered Questions
=== How does the method track the driver's contribution to demand response over time? The abstract does not provide details on how the system monitors and records the driver's contribution history information.
=== What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy of the evaluation of the driver's contribution? The abstract does not mention any specific mechanisms or checks to verify the accuracy of the evaluation of the driver's contribution to demand response.
Original Abstract Submitted
A taxi vehicle management method includes: evaluating, based on DR contribution history information, a degree of contribution to demand response for energy management by a driver of a taxi vehicle, the DR contribution history information indicating a history of contribution to the DR by the driver using a power storage device of the taxi vehicle; and determining a calculation formula of a fare of the taxi vehicle driven by the driver, using a result of evaluation of the degree of contribution by the driver. The determining the calculation formula of the fare includes determining the calculation formula of the fare such that the fare becomes lower as the degree of contribution to the DR by the driver becomes higher.
