| 20110119200 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING FREIGHT RATE AND FEES - A method for determining a freight rate and fees and a system therefor that can determine additional fees for additional distances, detention times, and distances of overtime transportation, other than the time and distance for a single service of consignment transportation. According to the method, upon receiving any of waiting, loading, completion, rest, unloading, addition, and additional loading instructions, a vehicle-mounted apparatus receives positional information of a transportation vehicle from a GPS satellite, and associates information corresponding to the received instructions with the positional information and a time at which the instructions have been received, for storage as service data; the server determines a reference freight rate based on designated loading and unloading points; when information associated with the additional and additional unloading instructions have been found from the service data, the server determines an additional travel distance, to determine an additional distance fee therefor; the server determines an amount of time that the time required at each of the loading and unloading points exceeds a prescribed reference time to be a detention time, to determine a detention fee therefor; and the server determines a distance traveled during late night and early morning hours and a distance traveled on regular and public holidays, to determine an overtime transportation fee therefor. | 05-19-2011 |
