Method for managing service schedule of vehicle

A method of managing a service schedule, the method 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 first 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 first service information by the control server;
• displaying the service state information of the first vehicle on a user interface by the control server;
• receiving second service information of a second vehicle by the control server, the second vehicle of the one or more vehicles traveling subsequent to the first vehicle and along the predetermined route;
• generating first service interval information of the first and second vehicles based on the first service information and the second service information, the first service interval information including time difference information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle;
• receiving third service information of a third vehicle from the third vehicle, the third vehicle of the one or more vehicles traveling subsequent to the second vehicle and along the predetermined route;
• generating second service interval information of the second and third vehicles based on the second service information and the third service information;
• and
• displaying the first service interval information and the second service interval information on the user interface,
• wherein displaying the service state information includes displaying a state indicator, a first indicator, and a second indicator, the first indicator indicating an actual position of the first vehicle, the second indicator indicating an expected position of the first vehicle,
• wherein the state indicator points in a first direction from the first indicator to the second indicator when the first vehicle is behind the service schedule, and the state indicator points in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the first vehicle is ahead of the service schedule,
• wherein the first service information is generated based on position information of the first vehicle, and
• wherein displaying the first and second service interval information includes displaying a third indicator, a fourth indicator, a fifth indicator, and an interval indicator disposed below the fourth indicator, the third indicator indicating a first service state of the first vehicle, the fourth indicator indicating a second service state of the second vehicle, the fifth indicator indicating a third service state of the third vehicle, the interval indicator indicating the first service interval information and the second service interval information.

A service schedule device for managing a service schedule of a first vehicle, wherein the device is installed in the first vehicle, the device 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 the service schedule of the 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, the position information of the first vehicle being obtained by a position collecting device, the position collecting device being installed in the first vehicle;
• generating service state information of the first vehicle, based on the service schedule and the first service information;
• displaying the service state information of the first vehicle on a user interface of the output device;
• 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;
• generating first service interval information of the first and second vehicles based on the first service information and the second service information, the first service interval information including time difference information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle,
• receiving third service information of a third vehicle from the third vehicle, the third vehicle traveling subsequent to the second vehicle and along the predetermined route;
• generating second service interval information of the second and third vehicles based on the second service information and the third service information;
• and
• displaying the first service interval information and the second service interval information on the user interface,
• wherein displaying the service state information includes displaying a state indicator, a first indicator, and a second indicator, the first indicator indicating an actual position of the first vehicle, the second indicator indicating an expected position of the first vehicle,
• wherein the state indicator points in a first direction from the first indicator to the second indicator when the first vehicle is behind the service schedule, and the state indicator points in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the first vehicle is ahead of the service schedule, and
• wherein displaying the first and second service interval information includes displaying a third indicator, a fourth indicator, a fifth indicator, and an interval indicator disposed below the fourth indicator, the third indicator indicating a first service state of the first vehicle, the fourth indicator indicating a second service state of the second vehicle, the fifth indicator indicating a third service state of the third vehicle, the interval indicator indicating the first service interval information and the second service interval information.
