Description

This invention relates to a train operation management system, a train operation management method, and a program. Generally, transportation companies (hereinafter also referred to as "operation managers") are required to conduct alcohol checks (measurement of alcohol concentration) using alcohol detectors when calling each driver to prevent drunk driving. For this reason, operation management systems equipped with alcohol detectors have been proposed for the purpose of checking drivers' alcohol levels (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-054695 Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of a traffic management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an alcohol detector.Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of an administrator terminal.Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a server configuration.Figure 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the driver terminal configuration.Figure 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an in-vehicle device.Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the operation management system.Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation process for replanning the train schedule.Figure 9 shows the train schedule before and after the replanning. <Implementation> Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the figures. The components in each example described below can be combined as appropriate, provided that no inconsistencies arise. Furthermore, the order of the processes constituting the various flows described below is not limited to any particular order, provided that no inconsistencies arise in the processing content. Additionally, the tools through which the various systems, methods, and programs described below are executed may be applications installed on servers or terminals, or they may be specific websites. <Operation Management System 100> Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of a fleet management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fleet management system 100 is a fleet management system operated by a service provider whose customers (users) are businesses (fleet managers) that manage the operation of vehicles such as trucks and taxis. However, the business itself may also operate this fleet management system 100. As shown in Figure 1, the operation management system 100 includes at least an alcohol detector 10, an administrator terminal 20, and a server 30, and further includes a driver terminal 40 and an in-vehicle device 50. The server 30 and the various terminals (alcohol detector 10, administrator terminal 20, and driver terminal 40) are connected, for example, via a predetermined network, enabling communication by wired or wireless means. Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example configuration of an alcohol detector 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The alcohol detector 10 is managed by a fleet manager and used for checking the alcohol levels of drivers. The alcohol detector 10 may consist of multiple devices depending on various functions (see Figure 1), or it may consist of a single device having various functions (not shown). The alcohol detector 10 comprises at least an alcohol sensor 11, a control unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The alcohol sensor 11 is configured, for example, as a semiconductor gas sensor, and can transmit a signal to the control unit 12 corresponding to the alcohol concentration in the exhaled breath. The control unit 12 measures the alcohol concentration in the breath based on the signal from the alcohol sensor 11 and can determine whether the alcohol concentration is above a threshold. The control unit 12 may have separate processing units for each process, or each process may be performed by a single processing unit. The processing units related to the control unit 12 are realized, for example, by a CPU executing various programs stored in the internal storage device of the alcohol detector 10. The communication unit 13 is implemented, for example, by a NIC (Non-Complex Integralizer) and is connected to the network via wired or wireless connection, enabling it to send and receive information with the server 30 and other devices via the network. Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the administrator terminal 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The administrator terminal 20 is managed and used, for example, by a transportation manager. The administrator terminal 20 comprises at least a storage unit 21, a display unit 22, an operation unit 23, a control unit 24, and a communication unit 25. Furthermore, it includes an audio interface 26 and an external interface 24. The memory unit 21 can store various types of driver information. This informat
