Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a station service remote monitoring system that remotely controls and remotely monitors station service equipment and station equipment installed at, for example, a railway station.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known, at stations where a station service remote monitoring system has not been introduced, station staff can use station service equipment (automatic ticket gates, ticket vending machines, automatic checkout machines, etc.) and station facilities (elevators) at the start and end of a station. , Escalator, electric shutter, etc.), it was necessary to turn on / off the power of each device one by one or make various operational settings.
[0003]
On the other hand, in stations where a station service remote monitoring system has been introduced, especially unmanned stations such as local stations, the station service equipment and Remote operation of station equipment is possible, eliminating the need to send station staff to the site at the start and end of an unmanned station.
[0004]
However, in the conventional station service remote monitoring system, since an operator performs remote control individually with respect to several unmanned stations, much time and effort are required. Also, if it takes time to start or stop station equipment to be remotely operated, or to complete remote operation of station equipment (starting or stopping equipment, raising or lowering the shutter), confirm the completion of remote operation. In addition to taking time and effort, there is a problem that there is a risk of oversight.
[0005]
Conventionally, a problem occurring at an unmanned station is discovered by a maintenance staff who regularly patrols or a customer, and the maintenance staff responds to the problem locally. In addition, communication about problems, such as responses to the above problems and status reports, is made via telephone and facsimile, etc. With such means, maintenance personnel in the field and operators and operations of the station service remote monitoring system are connected. There was a problem that sufficient communication was not possible with the manager, and appropriate responses could not be made, and in many cases it took a long time to respond.
[0006]
Conventionally, a system as shown in FIG. 23 has been introduced at a station. In this system, the number of visitors is counted by the automatic ticket gates GE1 to GE3 and GW1 to GW3, respectively, and notified to the automatic ticket gate monitoring devices GO1 and GO2. The automatic ticket gate monitoring devices GO1 and GO2 total the count information notified from the automatic ticket gates GE1 to GE3 and GW1 to GW3, respectively, and notify the sales management device SS of the total results.
[0007]
In the sales management device SS, the sales and the number of visitors are counted based on the count information counted by the automatic ticket gate monitoring devices GO1, GO2.
However, even though this system can count sales and the number of visitors, it cannot check whether all visitors have left at the end of work.
[0008]
Also, because the number of ticket gates and the number of bidders differ at the station, it was not possible to confirm the presence or absence of people remaining in the station premises simply by counting visitors.
[0009]
In addition, it is usually necessary to confirm the safety of the fire source, such as forgetting to turn off the cigarette, in order to prevent fires. However, in the above system, such safety confirmation depends on people. There wasn't. Therefore, in an unmanned station or the like, a staff member has to go to the site at the end of work, and a large amount of human resources are required for confirmation of the end of work.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In a conventional station service remote monitoring system, it takes time and labor to remotely operate station equipment and station equipment, and depending on the target of remote operation, it takes time and labor to confirm completion of remote operation. There was a problem that there was a risk of oversight.
[0014]
Further, as described above, conventionally, there has been a problem that enormous human resources are required to confirm the end of a station.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a station service remote monitoring system capable of saving the human resources and confirming the end of the station.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a station service remote monitoring system for remotely controlling station equipment, a ticket gate counting means for counting the number of passers of ticket gates, a person detecting means for detecting the presence of a person, Based on the information obtained by the person counting means for capturing the person getting off the train and obtaining the number of persons getting off from this captured image, the ticket counting means, the person detecting means and the person counting means, the station An end-of-work determination means for determining whether or not the end-of-work state is present.
[0028]
In the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, it is determined from the information obtained by the ticket gate counting means, the person detecting means, and the person counting means that the station is in the closed state.
Therefore, according to the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, it is possible to save the human resources and confirm the end of the station.

[0041]
Next, the local station will be described.
The local station has a control terminal (PC) 200 as a core and is connected to the LAN through the control terminal 200.
The cameras 213 to 215 are arranged so as to photograph the local station premises and the tracks near the local station, and output the photographed video data to the multi-viewer (MV) 212.
[0042]
The multi-viewer 212 divides a monitor screen of the control terminal 200, which will be described later, and synthesizes the video data captured by the cameras 213 to 215 to be displayed. The synthesized video data is output to a video switcher (VSW) 210.
[0043]
The person camera 211 photographs the operator of the control terminal 200, and the image data captured here is output to the video switcher 210.
The video switcher 210 synthesizes the video data synthesized by the multi-viewer 212 and the video shot by the person camera 211 and outputs them to the control terminal 200 in response to an instruction from the control terminal 200.
In addition, a monitor 240 is connected to the video switcher 210, and the monitor 240 can display video data larger and clearer.
[0044]
The intercoms 222 and 223 are provided in each part of the station premises. The handset 224 is provided in the vicinity of the control terminal 200 and is used by the operator.
[0045]
The intercom controller 221 controls the interphones 222 and 223 and the handset 224, and opens a voice communication link between the interphones 222 and 223 and the handset 224.
[0046]
The station service devices 231 and 232 are devices such as an automatic ticket gate, an automatic ticket vending machine, and an automatic checkout machine. Operation control and various settings are performed by a control terminal 200 described later, and each device is in its own state (occurrence of failure) , Sales, attendee count, etc.) on a regular basis.
[0047]
The station facility 233 is an elevator, escalator, electric shutter, or the like provided in the station premises or at the entrance and exit. The station equipment 233 is operation-controlled by the control terminal 200 described later, and notifies the control terminal 200 of the occurrence of a failure and its own state.
[0048]
The control terminal 200 forms the center of the station service remote monitoring system at the local station, and, like the control terminal 100, is a computer terminal having at least a man-machine interface such as a touch panel monitor and a keyboard.
[0049]
Then, a request from an operator is received through the same GUI as that of the control terminal 100, the system status is indicated, each of the above-described devices is controlled in accordance with an instruction from the control terminal 100, and the self station is placed. Is regularly notified to the control terminal 100 at the center station via the LAN.
[0050]
Note that an operation code is assigned in advance to each station device described above, and the control terminals 100 and 200 control each device through this operation code. As shown in FIG. 10, the operation code includes a fixed code, a model code, a classification code, a detail code, and a subcode.
[0051]
The fixed code is code identification information for identifying the operation code and other codes. The model code is information for classifying the model of the device. The classification code is information for broadly classifying commands set for each device. The detail code is information for determining in detail the command set for each device. The sub code is a code used when setting such as “on / off” of the power supply is necessary.
[0052]
Next, the operation of the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above will be described below.
First, start / end processing according to a preset schedule will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the process executed by the control terminal 100 when the control terminal 100 is powered on.
[0053]
Prior to the execution of this process, an item file indicating control at the start and end of each device at each station is created as schedule data in correspondence with the time of day of the week. This data is stored in the control terminal 100.
[0054]
First, in step 11a, the previously created schedule data is read, and if no schedule data is set in step 11b, the process is terminated. Migrate to
[0055]
In step 11c, it is monitored whether or not the time designated by the schedule data has arrived. Here, if the designated time has arrived, the process proceeds to step 11d. On the other hand, if the designated time does not arrive, the process proceeds to step 11c again to monitor the time.
[0056]
In step 11d, the above operation code is transmitted through the LAN as a control command corresponding to the control set in the item file to the device corresponding to the specified time, and the process proceeds to step 11e. Thereby, the device to be controlled is turned on or off.
[0057]
In step 11e, status information is received from the device that has transmitted the operation code in step 11d, and it is determined whether or not the device is in the state according to the schedule data, that is, the control in step 11d has been successful.
[0058]
Here, when the control in step 11d is not successful, the process proceeds to step 11d again to retry. On the other hand, if the control is successful, the process proceeds to step 11c and waits for the arrival of the next designated time designated by the schedule data.
[0059]
Next, device startup processing at the start of work in response to a request from the operator will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart thereof. This process is performed by the control terminal 100.
[0060]
In step 12a, it is determined whether or not the operator has made a request to change the start item through the touch panel monitor. Here, if there is a change request for the start item, the process proceeds to step 12b. On the other hand, if there is no change request, the process proceeds to step 12c.
[0061]
In step 12b, a start item selection screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the monitor, the change of the start item is accepted from the operator through the monitor, the updated start item is stored as a start item file, and in step 12c. Transition.
[0062]
In Step 12c, a request for starting work is received from the operator through the monitor. If there is a request for starting work, the process proceeds to step 12d. If there is no request, the process proceeds to step 12a again.
[0063]
In step 12d, based on the previously stored file that summarizes the devices to be controlled for each station and the aforementioned start item file, a start list that summarizes the devices to be controlled at the start is created. Move to 12e.
[0064]
In step 12e, according to the start work list created in step 12d, the aforementioned operation code is transmitted as a control command to the device to be controlled, and the process proceeds to step 12f. As a result, the devices to be controlled are collectively controlled at the start of work such as turning on the power.
[0065]
In step 12f, the status information of each device is received, and the device that has transmitted the operation code in step 12e is in a state as in the start list, that is, whether or not the control in step 12e has been successful. Determine.
[0066]
Then, the device that has been confirmed to be successful is deleted from the start-up list, and when all the controls are successful after a predetermined time has elapsed, the process is terminated, while the device that has not succeeded If there is, the process proceeds to step 12g.
[0067]
In step 12g, based on the start-up list, an unsuccessful device and its control content are displayed on the monitor, and a retry request is accepted. Here, when there is a request for retry, the process proceeds to step 12e, and control is attempted again according to the start work list. On the other hand, if there is no request, the process is terminated.
[0068]
In addition, as for the process at the end of work, an end-of-work-time control item is created in advance by the control of the control terminal 100, and an end-of-work list is created based on the above-mentioned end-of-work control item in response to a request from the operator. The Here, since the start-of-work control and the end-of-work control are mainly the difference between turning on and off the power, and the flow of the end-of-work process is almost the same as that at the start of work, detailed description is omitted here.
However, for items that require safety confirmation at the end of work, such as opening and closing of the shutter, control different from that at the start of work may be performed.
[0069]
Next, the operation when performing a video conference between stations will be described. FIG. 14 shows the sequence, and a case where the local station A performs a video conference with the local station B will be described as an example.
[0070]
First, an operator at the local station A operates, for example, a touch panel monitor of the control terminal 200 (S1). This operation is performed by selecting “TV conference” in the window 2 described above and then selecting the name of the local station B to be the partner in the window shown in FIG. This request is notified to the control terminal 100 of the center station through the LAN (S2).
[0071]
Then, the control terminal 100 of the center station refers to the information of the local station B held at that time, and determines whether or not the video conference function can be executed (S3).
Here, when there is a local station B in a state where a video conference is possible, the fact is notified to the control terminal 200 of the local station A through the LAN (S4).
[0072]
On the other hand, the control terminal 200 at the local station A controls the video system (person camera 211, video switcher 210, etc.) and audio system (interphone controller 221, handset 224, etc.), and the control terminal at the center station through the LAN. A communication link is established with 100 (S5).
[0073]
On the other hand, the control terminal 100 at the center station notifies the control terminal 200 at the local station B through the LAN that there has been a video conference request from the local station A (S6).
[0074]
On the other hand, the control terminal 200 of the local station B notifies the operator of a video conference request from the local station A in the form of adding alarm information to the window W3 of FIG. 6 (S7).
[0075]
Here, when the operator at the local station B operates the touch panel of the control terminal 200 and selects the alarm indicating the video conference request displayed in the window 3 (S8), the control terminal 200 at the local station B The video system (person camera 211, video switcher 210, etc.) and audio system (interphone controller 221, handset 224, etc.) are controlled, and a communication link is established with the control terminal 100 at the center station via the LAN (S9).
[0076]
As a result, a communication link for establishing a video conference is established between the control terminal 200 at the local station A and the control terminal 200 at the local station B, and the operator at the local station A and the operator at the local station B respectively When the handset 224 is picked up, a video conference is realized between the two.
[0077]
The video imaged by the person camera 211 is displayed on the window 4 or the monitor 240 of the monitor of the communication partner. The display here may be combined with the images of the cameras 213 to 215 or may be switched as appropriate.
[0078]
At the center station, in order to monitor the status of the video conference performed through the LAN, after selecting “TV conference” in window 2 and selecting the “connection status” tab (see FIG. 16), the local station It is possible to grasp the connection status of video conferencing between them. Here, if “forced termination” is selected, a termination command is transmitted to both parties that conduct the video conference, and the video conference is forcibly terminated.
In the above description, a case where a video conference is performed between local stations has been described as an example. However, a video conference can be performed between a center station and a local station.
[0079]
Next, switching of monitoring control will be described.
Normally, monitoring and control of equipment at each station is performed only by the control terminal 100 at the center station, and the control terminal 200 at the local station is set so that it cannot control the equipment at its own station.
[0080]
Therefore, when controlling the equipment at each station at the local station, the operator at the center station requests monitoring switching through the touch panel monitor of the control terminal 100. This request is made by selecting “monitor switching” in the window 2 described above.
[0081]
When this selection (request) is made, the station name is displayed on the monitor as shown in FIG. 17, and the operator of the center station touches and selects the station name on the monitor to control the selected local station. Commands are sent over the LAN.
[0082]
Receiving this, the local station can control the equipment of the local station through the control terminal 200 of the local station. This state is maintained until the subject is moved to the center station by “monitor switching” again at the center station.
[0083]
Next, I will talk about the recording of alarm occurrences.
The control terminal 200 at the local station monitors an abnormality that occurs in the equipment at the local station, and if an abnormality occurs, notifies the control terminal 100 at the center station through the LAN as alarm information. On the other hand, the control terminal 100 totals the alarm information notified from the control terminal 200 of the local station for each device and for each station, and the response (action) for the abnormality is recorded.
[0084]
Then, in the control terminal 100, when “abnormal recording” in the above-described window 2 is selected by the operator, the window of FIG. 18 for searching for abnormal recording is displayed. Here, when a search condition is input, an abnormality that matches the condition is searched for, read out, and displayed on the monitor. FIG. 19 shows an example.
[0085]
As described above, in the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, the remote control of the equipment at each station at the start and end of work is performed according to preset schedule data.
Therefore, according to the station service remote monitoring system having the above-described configuration, it is possible to reduce the work time and labor of the operator related to starting and stopping of the device, and perform reliable remote operation.
[0086]
In the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, remote control of the equipment at each station at the start and end of work is collectively performed according to the start item file and end item file created in advance according to the operator's request. Like to do.
Therefore, according to the station service remote monitoring system having the above-described configuration, it is possible to reduce the work time and labor of the operator related to starting and stopping of the device, and perform reliable remote operation.
[0087]
Further, the station service remote monitoring system having the above-described configuration is provided with a video conference function so that operators can talk while watching each other's images during a call. For this reason, it is possible to achieve a high level of communication between maintenance staff such as unmanned stations and operators at the center station.
[0088]
Furthermore, in the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, a station that monitors and controls each device in the local station is selectively performed at the local station itself or at the center station. For this reason, since the station that monitors and controls the local station can be entrusted to the local station from the center station, the equipment of the local station is monitored / controlled at the center station during normal times, and in the event of an emergency, a maintenance staff is used at the local station. It can be monitored / controlled.
[0089]
In the station service remote monitoring system configured as described above, an abnormality occurring at the center station and the local station is stored as alarm information in the center station, and a response to the abnormality is stored together with the alarm information. And since the recorded information is searched according to the operator's request and displayed on the monitor, when an abnormality occurs, it is possible to deal with the abnormality by referring to the correspondence to the past abnormality. it can.
[0090]
Next, a station service remote monitoring system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 20 shows the configuration.

[0096]
As shown in FIG. 21, the cameras Ca1 to Cam are provided at various locations in the unmanned station, and the inside of the station is photographed, and the photographed video is output to the image processing device Vp through the video network Nv.
The image processing device Vp converts video captured by the cameras Ca1 to Cam into digital data and transmits the digital data to the control unit Co through the control system network Ns. Further, the image processing device Vp obtains the number of passengers who got off by image analysis based on the video taken of the passengers getting off the train arriving at the unmanned station among the images taken by the cameras Ca1 to Cam. .
[0097]
Broadcast facilities Br1 to Brn are respectively installed in the home and hall. Then, the control unit Co is remotely operated through the control system network Ns, and the broadcast signal is transmitted through the broadcast system network Nb to perform broadcasting.
[0098]
The shutter Su is provided at the entrance / exit of the station, and the entrance / exit is blocked and opened by the control unit Co through the control system network Ns.
The lighting Li is lighting in the station and is ON / OFF controlled by the control unit Co through the control system network Ns.
[0099]
The operation terminals Op1 and Op2 are terminal devices including a keyboard and a monitor. The monitor displays an image sent through the control network Ns or displays an instruction for receiving an instruction from the operator. Various instructions from the operator are given through the keyboard or the like.
[0100]
The control unit Co includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and the CPU controls each part of the end-of-work confirmation system according to a control program and control data stored in the ROM. It is.
[0101]
Next, the end work control process of the station service remote monitoring system having the above configuration will be described.
This process is performed by the control unit Co and is started immediately before the final train arrives at the unmanned station. FIG. 22 is a flowchart thereof.
[0102]
First, in step 22a, a timer is started and time measurement is started from t = 0.
Next, in step 22b, the number of passengers getting off from the last train is obtained based on information from the sensor monitoring device So and information from the image processing device Vp, and the process proceeds to step 22c.
[0103]
In step 22c, the number of participants from the automatic ticket gates G1 to Gj counted by the automatic ticket gate monitoring device Go is compared with the number of passengers obtained in step 22b, and whether or not all the passengers have come out of the platform. Determine whether. Here, when it is determined that there are no passengers remaining in the platform, the process proceeds to step 22d. On the other hand, when passengers remain, the process proceeds to step 22h.
[0104]
In step 22d, information from sensors Se1 to Sek that detects a fire with a temperature sensor is acquired through the sensor monitoring device So, and it is determined whether there is a risk of fire based on this information. If there is a risk of fire, the process proceeds to step 22h. If there is no risk of fire, the process proceeds to step 22e. The sensors Se1 to Sek may detect other abnormal states in addition to the detection of fire by the temperature sensor.
[0105]
In step 22e, the shutter Su is lowered through the control system network Ns, the entrance / exit of the station is blocked, and the process proceeds to step 22f. In step 22f, the automatic ticket gates G1 to Gj are turned off, and the process proceeds to step 22g. In step 22g, the illumination Li is turned off through the control system network Ns, and the process is terminated.
On the other hand, in step 22h, the operator is notified through the operation terminal Op1 that there is a risk of fire, and the process ends.
