Abstract

A method for managing a service schedule of a vehicle includes receiving the service schedule of the vehicle that travels along a predetermined route from a control server, generating first service information of the vehicle based on position information of the vehicle, generating service state information of the vehicle based on the service schedule and the first service information, and displaying the service state information of the vehicle using a user interface.

Claims

1. A method of a service scheduling device, the method comprising:

receiving, from a control server, a service schedule of a first vehicle traveling along a predetermined route;

generating first service information of the first vehicle based on position information of the first vehicle;

generating service state information of the first vehicle based on the service schedule and the first service information; and

displaying the service state information of the first vehicle on a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the service schedule includes expected arrival times of the first vehicle at a plurality of nodes included in the predetermined route, and

wherein the first service information includes actual arrival times of the first vehicle at the plurality of nodes.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of nodes include a first node, and

wherein the service state information includes a difference between an expected arrival time of the first vehicle at the first node and an actual arrival time of the first vehicle at the first node.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the service state information includes displaying a first state indicator or a second state indicator, the first state indicator indicating that the first vehicle is behind the service schedule, the second state indicator indicating that the first vehicle is ahead of the service schedule.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first state indicator points in a first direction and the second indicator points in a second direction, the second direction being opposite to the first direction.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined route includes a first node and a second node, the method further comprising:

generating punctuality evaluation information of the first vehicle traveling from the first node to the second node based on the service state information.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving second service information of a second vehicle from the second vehicle, the second vehicle traveling subsequent to the first vehicle and along the predetermined route; and

generating service interval information of the first and second vehicles based on the first service information and the second service information.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the service interval information includes at least one of time difference information and distance information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

displaying one or more of time difference information and distance information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle on the user interface.

10. A method of managing a service schedule comprising:

transmitting the service schedule from a control server to a first vehicle of one or more vehicles that travel along a predetermined route;

receiving service information from the first vehicle by the control server;

generating service state information of the first vehicle based on the service schedule and the service information by the control server; and

displaying the service state information of the first vehicle on a user interface by the control server,

wherein the service information is generated based on position information of the first vehicle.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the service schedule includes expected arrival times of the first vehicle at a plurality of nodes included in the predetermined route,

wherein the service information includes actual arrival times of the first vehicle at the plurality of node, and

wherein the service state information includes a difference between one of the expected arrival times at a node and a corresponding one of the actual arrival times at the node.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying a first state indicator or a second state indicator associated with the first vehicle, the first state indicator indicating that the first vehicle is behind the service schedule, the second indicating that the first vehicle is ahead of the service schedule.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the predetermined route includes a first node and a second node, the method further comprising:

generating punctuality evaluation information of the first vehicle traveling from the first node to the second node based on the service state information.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more vehicles includes a second vehicle, further comprising:

receiving service information of the second vehicle from the second vehicle by the control server, the second vehicle traveling subsequent to the first vehicle and along the predetermined route; and

generating service interval information of the first and second vehicles based on the service information of the first vehicle and the service information of the second vehicle.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

displaying at least one of time difference information and distance information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

16. A system for managing a service schedule of a vehicle, the system comprising:

a processor;

an output device; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a program that, when executed, causes the processor to perform a method, the method comprising;

receiving a service schedule of a first vehicle that travels along a predetermined route from a control server;

generating first service information of the first vehicle based on position information of the first vehicle;

generating service state information of the first vehicle, based on the service schedule and the first service information; and

displaying the service state information of the first vehicle on a user interface of the output device.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein displaying the service state information includes displaying a first state indicator or a second state indicator, the first state indicator indicating that the first vehicle is behind the service schedule, the second indicator indicating that the first vehicle is ahead of the service schedule.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the predetermined route includes a first node and a second node, further comprising:

generating punctuality evaluation information of the first vehicle traveling from the first node to the second node based on the service state information.

19. The system of claim 16, further comprising:

receiving second service information of a second vehicle from the second vehicle, the second vehicle traveling subsequent to the first vehicle and along the predetermined route; and

generating service interval information of the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the first service information and the second service information.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising:

displaying at least one of time difference information and distance information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the service interval information on the user interface of the output device.
