    [0002] The invention more particularly relates to a vehicle fleet management system, comprising a remote server in which at least one reservation indication of a vehicle is recorded in correspondence with an identifier of the vehicle and a user, and for each vehicle an on-board vehicle access control and control equipment which comprises a data processing unit with a communication interface able to communicate remotely with said server.
    [0003] PRIOR ART Car fleet management systems are already known comprising a remote server which communicates with equipment embedded in the vehicles.
    [0004] The remote server generally contains a vehicle reservation database, an internet reservation interface and also a billing system. This type of vehicle fleet management system is rather designed for long-term vehicle reservations, typically lasting several months. This type of vehicle fleet management system is expensive to deploy because each onboard equipment is generally intended to be disassembled and reassembled from one vehicle to another and in addition it is not suitable for the management of vehicles. a fleet of electric vehicles like electric scooters.
    [0005] The object of the invention is to propose a vehicle fleet management system which does not have the drawbacks indicated above and which is adapted for the management of a fleet of self-service electric vehicles, more particularly light electric vehicles such as two- or three-wheeled electric scooters, light four-wheeled electric vehicles, or even electric bicycles or the like.
    [0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, the subject of the invention is a vehicle fleet management system, comprising a remote server in which at least one reservation indication of a vehicle is recorded in correspondence with an identifier of the vehicle. vehicle and a user, and for each vehicle an on-board control and vehicle access control equipment which comprises a data processing unit with a communication interface for communicating remotely with said server, characterized in that said communication interface comprises a GPS / GPRS communication interface, an RFID communication interface for communicating with a badge containing a user identifier, and furthermore a small radio communication interface capable of communicating with a local terminal which is connected to in communication with said remote server via an internet network, and in that said data processing unit is t arranged to: - detect an entry of a vehicle control command and in response, retrieve from the remote server through the small radio communication interface, a first authorization to grip the vehicle, and in response to the receipt of this first authorization, operate the opening of a trunk of the vehicle, - detect an entry of a vehicle start command and in response, retrieve from the remote server through the communication interface in small radio, a second vehicle start authorization, and in response to the receipt of this second authorization, operate the vehicle starter, 10 - and detect an entry of a stop command of the vehicle and in response, recover from the server remote through the communication interface in small radio, an indication of validity of the reservation of the vehicle or an indication of the end of validity of the reservation of the vehicle. e, and in response to the receipt of this indication of end of validity of the reservation of the vehicle, block the use of the vehicle. The vehicle fleet management system may still have the following features: said data processing unit is furthermore arranged to detect the reception of a signal indicative of a fall of the vehicle and to transmit to the remote server through the GPS / GPRS communication interface a data indicative of the detection of the fall of the vehicle; said embedded equipment comprises a man / machine interface of the OLED type and flexible support; said man / machine interface comprises push buttons for input of said hand-hold, start and stop commands of the vehicle, and a multilayer display area; - said vehicles are electric vehicles; 3022672 4 - said vehicles are electric scooters; - the trunk of the vehicle is the saddle box of the scooter. The invention and its advantages will be further understood upon reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment illustrated by the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the various elements of a fleet management system of 10 vehicles according to the invention, here electric scooters. Figure 2 is a schematic synopsis of the operating process of the system of Figure 1 when taking control of a scooter from a station.
    [0007] Figure 3 is a schematic synopsis of the operating process of the system of Figure 1 when riding the scooter. Figure 4 is a schematic synopsis of the operating process of the system of Figure 1 when the scooter returns to the station. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 very schematically illustrates an on-board control and access equipment 1 for a vehicle which is here a self-service rental electric scooter. This on-board equipment 1 is part of a larger system for managing a fleet of self-service rental vehicles, in this case 30 electric scooters. Such self-service rental scooter fleet management system therefore comprises a multitude of onboard equipment 1, as there are electric scooters in the fleet of electric scooters. These embedded equipment 1 are adapted to communicate with a remote server S for booking, tracking and billing. According to the invention, each on-board equipment 1 can be placed, for example, in the saddle compartment 3 of the scooter 2. As can be seen in FIG. 1, each device 1 is presented as an electronic box 1A connected to an input device. output of data or commands (human-machine interface HMI) 4. According to the invention, this device 4 is here a kind of touch screen display with control buttons. It is composed of two superimposed layers of film here with rectangular outline. It is intended to be fixed by gluing including a bodywork element of the scooter, for example the apron of the scooter.
    [0008] It is flexible, unbreakable and waterproof for outdoor use. The first layer of device 4, which is the outer layer, is based on OLED technology and includes a display area 4A with an overlay of two different color signage and also a touch-sensitive information-entry area 4B. The second layer of device 4 includes buttons, connectors and a brightness sensor. The buttons are of the type "mechanical cup" without boss 30 (flat surface) so that the user can press his knee, sac_ on the first layer of the device without activating the operation of the buttons 3022672 6, which brings a high security in the use of the on-board equipment 1 for an application to rent self-service scooters. In addition, the buttons are designed so that the mechanical feel allows the use of the buttons with protective gloves. These buttons can have a bright light proportional to the external brightness. The illumination enables the identification of the active daytime and glare-free daytime buttons, and the multiple choice buttons permit the reduction of the area of the device 4 (a cup button equals two functions). For example, as shown in Figure 1, the second layer of the interface 4 has two buttons 4C and 4D respectively to open the seat box 3 of the scooter "OPEN" and start / stop the scooter "START / STOP" which are bright and screen printed here in white on a black background.
    [0009] These two layers form an indissociable assembly within the flexible film which may have a thickness of about 3 mm and they are connected via a web to microcircuits of the housing 1A, which housing is disposed in the seat box 3 of the scooter.
    [0010] Thus, the on-board equipment 1 according to the invention is protected against vandalism. It can be used outdoors even in case of splashing water in rainy weather for example. It can accommodate different types of receiving surfaces, including small curved surfaces, such as a curved scooter bodywork.
    [0011] According to the invention, the on-board equipment 1 comprises, at the level of the housing 1A, a data processing unit 5 with a communication interface 6 for communicating, inter alia, remotely with the server S for managing the fleet of scooters. . According to the invention, the communication interface 6 comprises a first GPS / GPRS type communication interface 6A for wireless communication over a GSM type mobile telephone network, a second RFID communication interface 6B for short-distance communication. with an identification badge 7 containing an identifier of the user, and furthermore a third small radio communication interface 6C able to communicate on a local area network with a local terminal 8 which is connected in communication with said remote server S through an internet network. The small radio communication interface is of the type known as "Zigbee", "Bluetooth", or the like. <br/> <br/> <br/> The local terminal 8 is intended to be installed indoors in a parking lot where the electric scooters 2 are normally parked before use. This local terminal is connected in communication with the remote server S for example through a communication network of the internet type.
    [0012] Consequently, the on-board system 1 comprises a dual communication system with the server S, namely via the communication interface 6A or through the communication interface 6C, which enables it to operate indifferently outside or on the outside. inside in covered car parks. Furthermore, according to the invention, the data processing unit 5 is arranged to detect an entry of a vehicle control command, here from the HMI 4, and in response, to retrieve from the remote server S through the communication interface in small radio 6C, a first authorization to take control of the scooter 2, and in response to the receipt of this first authorization, operate the opening of the seat box 3 of the scooter 2. L data processing unit 5 is further arranged to detect an input of a scooter start command from the HMI 4, and in response, to retrieve from the remote server through the small radio communication interface 6C, a second authorization to start the scooter 2, and in response to the receipt of this second authorization, operate the starter of the scooter 2. The data processing unit 5 is still arranged to detect an input of a stop command of the scoot er 2 and in response, recover from the remote server S through the communication interface in small radio 6C, an indication of validity of the reservation of the scooter 2 or 20 an indication of end of validity of the reservation of the scooter 2, and response to receipt of this indication of end of validity of the reservation of the scooter 2, block the use of the scooter 2. More particularly, in Figures 2 to 4, schematic synopses illustrate the process of operation of the system. fleet management of scooters in situations of handling a scooter on parking area after booking and starting the scooter, running the scooter outside station 30, and finally returning the scooter in the parking area. After reservation via, for example, an internet portal accessing the server S, the user of the scooter has an RFID badge 7 in which a user identifier is registered. In the server S, the user identifier is registered in correspondence with vehicle reservation data, for example with a scooter identifier and the period of use of the rented scooter. In FIG. 2, the user 9 presses at 20 the button 4C "OPEN" of the HMI 4 placed on the scooter. A 4A "RFID" pictogram is activated (whether the scooter is charging or not). After reading the identifier in the badge 7, the HMI 4 displays at 21 an "hourglass" in the area 4A pending the response from the server S. The unit 5 uses the communication interface in small radio 6C with the station terminal 8 to validate the user identifier with the server S (the delay can be less than 2s after reading the badge).
    [0013] Note that the unit 5 and the server S may have a network identifier. This network identifier identifies a network of terminals 8 (it is possible to have a single terminal in the network) through which the unit 5 of the scooter can communicate with the server S.
    [0014] So during this small radio communication, the unit 5 sends through the terminal 8 the network identifier, the user identifier and the scooter identifier. If the answer is positive, the unit 5 controls the opening engine of the seat box 3. This operation is carried out completely autonomously: the unit 5 can have two lithium cells in series capable of supplying the energy necessary to power a seat opening motor and to provide the communication functions. If the answer is negative, it means that the scooter is out of station and it can not communicate through the terminal 8 with the server S.
    [0015] 5 The charging of the two cells takes place during the driving phases on a DC / DC converter 12v of servitude (The light electric vehicles of type 2 wheels are rarely equipped with a secondary battery 12v, and the manufacturers do not allow the connection on the traction battery). The user then removes the keys of the antitheft device (in the seat box 3) and unlocks the scooter 2. The start is carried out without a key, only the user badge 7 is necessary. Communication is via the small radio communication interface 6C. The badge is checked in less than 2 seconds after reading the badge. The user presses the "START" button at 22. The unit 5 by the small radio communication interface 6C that the scooter 2 is on the station of the terminal 8 and collects an identifier associated with this terminal 8 If the scooter is connected to the mains (charging) the HMI 4 indicates at 23 in zone 4A "ACCESS REFUSED". The RFID pictogram is activated while waiting for the badge 7 to be read and after reading the badge 7, the waiting hourglass 25 of the server response is activated. Unit 5 transmits to the server S the start request and the station identifier. If the server S does not respond, the message "CONNECTION ERROR PLEASE CALL" is displayed at 24 on the area 4A of the HMI 4. If the badge 7 is refused 30 the information "ACCESS REFUSED" is activated on the zone 4A of the HMI 4. If the badge 7 is, the unit 5 registers the badge number 7 which becomes the key of the scooter 2. The scooter 2 starts. Unit 5 checks the vehicle information on the scooter's CAN bus and checks to see if the start-up process has gone smoothly. In case of non-compliance the scooter is stopped.
    [0016] 5 If the start is effective, at 22 the 4D START light button (green) of the HMI 4 switches to STOP (red). The unit 5 controls the sequence of 2 starting relays (in substitution of the key) and controls the smooth running of the start-up phase via the information 10 running on the CAN bus of the scooter. B. Taxi phase The scooter 2 communicates its geographical position and the load level to the server S periodically, for example every 3 minutes, via the GPS / GPRS communication interface 6A of the unit 5. The function saddle opening is disabled for safety. Now, if the scooter 2 is lying, for example following a fall, the unit 5 detects this state and transmits the information to the server S via the communication interface 6A. A fall detector is connected to the unit 5, it is a tilt sensor that is generally used on motorcycles to cut the injection.
    [0017] To stop the scooter 2 out of the station, the user 9 presses the "STOP" button of the HMI 4 at 30. The HMI 4 returns to an initial state at 31 with the "OPEN" and "START" functions enabled. . The unit 5 checks whether the scooter 2 is parked on station or not and communicates with the server S, checks whether the badge 7 used is still valid. If the badge 7 is invalid, the key card number registered in the unit 5 is deleted (blocking of the vehicle: voluntary action of the operator). If the user 9 plugs the charging cord 10 into the mains, the unit 5 activates in response to a detection of traffic on the scooter CAN bus. The unit 5 then detects the state of the scooter "in charge" via the information on the CAN bus of the scooter and the HMI 4 goes off at 32. The unit 5 communicates to the server S the 10 charge level of the battery of the scooter in GPRS mode (via the information on the CAN bus). If now the user 9 wants to start the scooter, he presses 33 on the 4D button "START" of the HMI 4. The badge 7 is controlled through the link 15 RFID 34 and if the identifier in the badge 7 corresponds to the one stored in the unit 5, the scooter 2 starts without external communication (HMI display cycle is identical to the starting station). If the badge number does not correspond to that stored in the unit 5, the unit 5 sends a start request via the GPRS channel to the server S (identical HMI display cycle at the station start). If the user 9 loses his badge, the user calls the operator and asks him for a remote start. After identification, the operator authorizes or refuses the remote start. If the operator authorizes the remote start, the user 9 simultaneously presses the "START" and "OPEN" buttons of the HMI 4. The HMI 4 displays at 36 the "hourglass" and "START + OPEN" at 36. The unit 5 sends a request to the server S. If this request is accepted, the unit 5 commands the start of the scooter.
    [0018] 3022672 13 C- Return of the scooter to the station On arrival at the station, the user 9 presses the 4D button "STOP" of the HMI 4 at 40 in FIG. 4. At the arrival on the station, the unit 5 detects and collects the station identifier 8 as soon as the scooter stops via the communication interface in small radio 6C. The unit 5 makes a request to the server S to know if the scooter 2 is authorized to close the reservation (it is a question of checking whether the vehicle is on its reference station). This operation is transparent to the user (less than 1s). If the scooter 2 is on its reference station: the touch button "END RESERVATION" of the HMI 4 is activated at 41. If the user 9 wishes to close his reservation by pressing the touch button "END RESERVATION", the HMI 4 requests confirmation of the end of reservation via the touch buttons "YES" "NO" of the HMI 4 at 42 and the text "VALID END RESERVATION". If the user 9 enters "YES" on the HMI 4, the reservation is closed and 20 the HMI 4 confirms the end of reservation by "END RESERVATION CONFIRMED" in 43. The scooter 2 is then again available for rental . If the user enters "NO" on the HMI 4, the HMI 4 25 returns to an initial state 44 allowing a restart of the scooter 2 or an opening of the trunk of the scooter 2. As can be understood, the on-board equipment is adaptable for vehicles that do not have a service battery. It has a dual communication system with a local radio communication that allows the vehicle to start on the parking area, access control from the server, location and communication with vehicles placed in areas underground with no GSM coverage and also the recognition of the parking station of the vehicle and a GPS / GPRS communication which allows the geolocation of the vehicle, the access control to the vehicle when it is off station and remote start or blocking of the vehicle. It will further be understood that a fleet operator may assign one or more stations (terminal 8) to a vehicle and that several operators may operate the same station or network of stations. 15
