Description

Integrated Service System and Method for Smart Taxi Calling, Dispatching, and Settlement The following description relates to an integrated platform for providing taxi services to diverse users, including transportation-deprived areas and transportation-vulnerable individuals. More specifically, it relates to an integrated service system and method for smart taxi calling, dispatching, and settlement that enables efficient operation management and settlement by integrating a route-based automatic schedule dispatch function, a wired communication linkage function between a meter and payment terminal and a smartphone, and various call interfaces such as NFC, smartwatches, and guardian calls. Recently, the mobility industry has been rapidly digitizing due to technological advancements such as smartphones, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, within the taxi service sector, technologies that automate the entire process—from user requests and dispatch to fare payment and settlement management—are spreading rapidly. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for smart taxi hailing, dispatch, and settlement systems to enhance user convenience and improve traffic operational efficiency. Existing taxi hailing systems have primarily operated through smartphone applications or manual telephone-based dispatching via call centers. However, these methods are difficult for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and people with disabilities who are unfamiliar with smartphone operation, to access, and manual dispatching via telephone operators leads to increased operating costs and time delays. In addition, in transportation-deprived areas such as rural and mountainous regions lacking transportation infrastructure, dispatching efficiency was low and real-time vehicle operation data was not available, which presented a limitation in that it was difficult for local governments or operating agencies to accurately manage routes and settle budgets. Meanwhile, communication between taxi meters (or payment terminals) and drivers' smartphones mostly relies on wireless Bluetooth to transmit fare information; however, this method frequently suffers from issues such as communication interference, connection instability, and data loss, and has low reliability due to its vulnerability to radio interference during operation. Furthermore, Bluetooth-based connections consume a significant amount of battery power during prolonged driving, and data transmission ceases if the power supply is cut off, making it difficult to maintain stable real-time synchronization between the driver's terminal and the payment terminal. Furthermore, in conventional systems, the settlement process was also performed manually. Because receipts had to be managed manually after the trip ended or settlements had to be made individually through certain digital payment apps, data consistency was poor, and administrative problems such as fraudulent receipt of benefits or overcharging could occur. In particular, for public taxis or welfare taxis supported by local governments, there was a limitation in that settlement data was not standardized, requiring additional verification during accounting audits or budget management processes. Furthermore, the modern digital service environment requires diversification of call accessibility. Users should be able to hail a taxi according to their situation using devices other than smartphones, such as NFC (Near Field Communication) tags, smartwatches, and voice commands; however, existing technologies have not been able to comprehensively support these diverse interfaces. In particular, the elderly and non-smartphone users find it difficult to launch apps or enter addresses, and visually impaired individuals or children need a function to request assistance from a guardian rather than making a call, but conventional systems did not implement guardian proxy calling or remote payment functions. As such, existing taxi calling and settlement systems have problems such as ① limitations in operational efficiency (manual dispatch, manual settlement), ② communication reliability issues (unstable wireless communication), ③ lack of accessibility for the disabled (NFC and guardian call not supported), and ④ data non-interoperability (incompatibility between administrative and settlement systems). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated service system and method for smart taxi calling, dispatching, and settlement that enables diverse users, including transportation-deprived areas and the transportation vulnerable, to call taxis in a more stable and intuitive manner, and to comprehensively manage operation information, fares, and settlement data.
