Abstract:
1. A transport information managing system configured by one or more computer machines, the transport information managing system performing information management associated with cargo transportation, comprising: a movement record acquiring computer machine configured to acquire an ID of a transportation means transporting a cargo, information of place and time of loading and unloading of the cargo to and from the transportation means, the information including at least one of a loading point, an unloading point, a loading time, and an unloading time, and a load amount of the cargo, along with information of a cargo ID of the cargo, as a cargo movement record, through data communication with a communication apparatus included in the transportation means, and configured to store the acquired cargo movement record into computer memory as a cargo movement record database for each cargo ID; a load amount identifying computer machine configured to read the information of the cargo ID, load amount, transportation means ID, loading time, and unloading time of each cargo included in each cargo movement record from the cargo movement record database to identify cargos having overlapping periods between the loading time and unloading time and transported by the same transportation means among the cargos, the load amount identifying computer machine configured to aggregate the load amounts of the identified cargos to calculate a load amount loaded at each clock time by each transportation means as a past load amount, the load amount identifying computer machine configured to store the information of the transportation means, time, and past load amount into the computer memory as a load record database as a load record; an average load amount calculating computer machine configured to read the information of the transportation means, loading time, and unloading time of cargos included in the cargo movement record from the cargo movement record database, the average load amount calculating computer machine configured to read the past load amount of the transportation means in a loading period between the read loading time and unloading time from the load record database, the average load amount calculating computer machine configured to calculate an average value of the past load amount in the loading period as an average load amount, which is stored into the computer memory; an energy consumption calculating computer machine configured to divide the load amount of the cargo in the cargo movement record database by the average load amount in the computer memory, the energy consumption calculating computer machine configured to multiply the divided value by the movement distance record, fuel consumption, and fuel unit requirement of the transportation means in the time zone read from a calculation basic information database storing the fuel-consumption information of the transportation means of the cargo, the unit requirement information of the fuel used by the transportation means, and information of the movement distance record of the transportation means to calculate and store the energy consumption of each cargo into the computer memory; and an output processing unit that reads and outputs the energy consumption of each cargo from the computer memory to an output interface.
