Abstract
An operation management method for managing a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, includes storing, by a server, an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses, judging, by the server, whether a predetermined condition is satisfied when a predetermined event not planned in the operation schedule occurs, and revising, by the server, the operation schedule to introduce an additional circulating bus into the circulation route from the base when it is judged that the predetermined condition is satisfied.

An operation management method for managing a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, the operation management method comprising:
- storing, by a server, an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses;
- judging, by the server, whether a predetermined condition is satisfied when a predetermined event not planned in the operation schedule occurs;
- and
- revising, by the server, the operation schedule to introduce an additional circulating bus into the circulation route from the base when it is judged that the predetermined condition is satisfied.
A server comprising a communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, and a controller configured to:
- store an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses;
- judge whether a predetermined condition is satisfied when a predetermined event not planned in the operation schedule occurs;
- and
- revise the operation schedule to introduce an additional circulating bus into the circulation route from the base when it is judged that the predetermined condition is satisfied.
A system comprising a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, and a server configured to communicate with the plurality of circulating buses, wherein
- the server is configured to store an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses;
- the plurality of circulating buses operates in accordance with the operation schedule;
- the server is configured to
- judge whether a predetermined condition is satisfied when a predetermined event not planned in the operation schedule occurs, and
- revise the operation schedule to introduce an additional circulating bus into the circulation route from the base when it is judged that the predetermined condition is satisfied;
- and
- the plurality of circulating buses operates in accordance with the revised operation schedule.
