Abstract
A congestion rate calculation unit calculates a congestion rate in the cabin based on the number of recognized passengers. When the congestion rate is more than a predetermined congestion threshold, an in-vehicle display and an in-vehicle speaker are capable of giving an alighting notification that notifies the presence of a passenger who is alighting at the next stop and seat information of the passenger, and does not make an alighting notification when the congestion rate is less than or equal to the congestion threshold in the process of the passenger vehicle heading to the next stop.
Claims10
An operation management system comprising:
- a passenger vehicle capable of traveling a defined route and stopping at stops along the defined route;
- and an operation management apparatus that manages an operation of the passenger vehicle,
- wherein the passenger vehicle includes an imaging device that captures an image of an interior of a cabin of the vehicle,
- the operation management apparatus includes:
- an image recognition unit that recognizes passengers in the in-cabin image captured by the imaging device in the process of the passenger vehicle leaving the current stop and heading to the next stop;
- and
- a congestion rate calculation unit that calculates a congestion rate in the cabin based on the recognized passengers, and
- the passenger vehicle further includes a notification unit that is capable of giving an alighting notification that notifies the presence of a passenger who is alighting at the next stop and seat information of the passenger when the congestion rate is more than a predetermined congestion threshold, and that does not make an alighting notification when the congestion rate is less than or equal to the congestion threshold in the process of the passenger vehicle heading to the next stop.
