System and method for controlling public transportation
First Claim
1. A public transportation control system, comprising:
- an on-board terminal equipped to each public bus traveling on a road to transmit bus information of an associated bus and to display transportation information for adjusting a traveling distance between the buses after receiving the transportation information created based on the bus information from outside through wireless communication;
a plurality of transportation information guidance centers installed to bus stops to transmit the bus information to the outside after collecting the bus information transmitted from the on-board terminals of the buses, and to transmit transportation information of the associated bus to the on-board terminal of the associated bus while supplying transportation guidance information of the associated bus to passengers waiting at the bus stops after receiving the transportation information and the transportation guidance information created on the basis of the bus information from the outside through the wireless communication;
a transportation management server to store the bus information after receiving the bus information transmitted from the on-board terminals through the transportation information guidance centers via a dedicated communication network, and to transmit the transportation information and the transportation guidance information to the transportation information guidance centers installed to the bus stops after creating the transportation information for adjustment of the distance between the buses and the transportation guidance information for guidance of arrival schedules of the buses; and
at least one transportation information collecting device installed at a certain position on the road, where the public buses travel, to transmit the bus information to the transportation management server after collecting the bus information transmitted from the on-board terminals, and to transmit the transportation information of the associated bus to the on-board terminal of the associated bus after receiving the transportation information created on the basis of the transmitted bus information from the transportation management server;
wherein the bus information collected by the on-board terminal and stored in the transportation management server comprises basic information as to a bus number and a line number of the associated bus, road condition information as to construction and accident blocks, and bus condition information as to whether the associated bus is a last bus, a defective bus or an accident bus.

Abstract
A public transportation control system controls a suitable distance between public buses traveling on a road with traveling data of the buses through collection of the traveling data of the buses and transmission of transportation information of a target bus based on the traveling data to the target bus, and transmits the transportation information of the bus to respective bus stops on the basis of the collected traveling data of the bus in order to provide guidance of arrival schedule of the bus at the bus stops to passengers waiting for the bus, thereby preventing clumping of the buses and allowing the passengers to efficiently use a bus wait time through guidance of accurate transportation information.

7. A method for controlling public transportation, comprising the steps of:
-
a) collecting bus information transmitted from on-board terminals of public buses through at least one transportation information collecting mechanism, and storing the bus information; b) determining a current traveling position of each bus using positions of collecting the bus information; c) determining whether there occurs a line deviation at which a leading bus is passed by a following bus on a line on the basis of the current traveling positions of the respective buses, followed by transmitting a correction command to the on-board terminal of a target bus through the transportation information collecting mechanism if line deviation occurs; d) calculating a satisfactory travel value and a travel correction value of each bus using the collected bus information, followed by transmitting transportation information comprising the satisfactory travel value and the travel correction value to the on-board terminal of each bus through the transportation information collecting mechanism; e) determining whether the target bus is in a normal traveling condition within an acceptable degree or not on the basis of the collected bus information; and f), if the target bus travels out of the acceptable degree, calculating a travel correction value of the target bus, and transmitting the travel correction value and a self adjustment command to the on-board terminal of the target bus through the transportation information collecting mechanism, the self adjustment command being provided for urging a driver of the target bus to adjust the traveling condition with reference to the travel correction value, the above steps being performed by a transportation management server. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
