Description

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a control operation support device and a control operation support method.

  In conventional air traffic control support devices in general airports, the status of aircraft and vehicles captured by a monitoring device such as radar is displayed in addition to status information such as weather and visibility on the control device installed in the control room. The

  On the other hand, the controller monitors the display status of the control device, visually checks the position of the aircraft on the runway and taxiway, and communicates necessary control instructions with the pilot by radio telephone according to the monitoring results. .

  Therefore, the controller determines the guidance information by turning on and off the taxiway guide light based on the operation of adjusting the brightness of the airport light while checking the status information, and confirming the position of the runway or taxiway on the aircraft, Control instructions regarding route information, various permission information, and the like.

  By the way, since a plurality of aircraft frequently repeat takeoff and landing on the airport surface, the control must judge the situation instantaneously and issue an accurate control instruction to the pilot of the corresponding aircraft.

  However, in order for the controller to issue an accurate control instruction, the display of the control device and the visual confirmation of the airport surface are mutually performed while switching the line of sight between the display of the control device and the state of the airport surface. It is necessary to process a large amount of information and perform an input operation so as not to cause a guidance error due to information confusion.

  Examples of input operations by a controller include the brightness adjustment operation of the lighting on the airport surface, the route information input setting for the aircraft traveling, the input operation for guidance of the aircraft, etc. Necessary control instructions are given by operating the operation switches, push button switches, and mouse / keyboard installed in the control device (control console).

Japanese Patent No. 3646860

  Therefore, when the controller performs the input operation as described above, the operator must always keep an eye on the hand. As a result, the monitoring of the surroundings, which is important for ensuring the safety in the operation of the controller, is interrupted every time the operation is performed, and there is a possibility that the detection of danger is delayed.

  Especially at night, even if there is no immediate danger, it takes time to re-recognize the aircraft to be controlled, so it is impossible to pay attention to other surrounding situations.

  In addition, manual route information and guidance information input operations will be performed, but at airports where aircraft take off and landing frequently, the repetition time will be shortened to 1 to 2 minutes, which may increase the work load and cause erroneous operation. Get higher. As a result, the validity of the control instruction cannot be verified, and there is a problem that the control instruction is issued as it is even if it is wrong.

  Furthermore, since route information, guidance information, and the like are not displayed on the control device, there is a problem that necessary input operations such as selection of a travel route of the aircraft and change of route settings cannot be performed.

  The control operation support device and the control operation instruction method are configured to control the airport light while constructing the entire route information of the moving body based on the voice control instruction related to the route of the controller and judging the validity of the entire route information. By taking advantage of this, it is possible to continuously monitor the surroundings without paying close attention to the situation, to avoid dangerous situations, to prevent misrepresentations and unclear instructions, and to ensure safe and smooth airport operation.

A lighting control state display unit 23 (see FIG. 3) including a communication means 22 for transmitting a control instruction from the officer 1 to the pilot 31 and a lighting display screen 23a for displaying the state of the airport lighting 33 is provided.

  As the airport lights 33, stop line lights 33a and taxiway center line lights 33b are installed at necessary intervals on the airport surface 3 at predetermined intervals.

  The data processing device 4 processes the image data displayed by the radar 21 to generate moving body information (monitoring target information) of the moving body 32 existing on the airport surface 3.

  The control operation support apparatus 5 includes an operation input unit 51, a voice input unit 52, a speaker determination unit 53, a voice recognition unit 54, a control instruction analysis unit 55, a control target confirmation unit 56, a route information configuration unit 57, and a situation determination unit 58. And an information integration unit 59 and the like.

  The operation input unit 51 is operated by the controller 1 when the controller 1 needs to change the traveling direction of the moving body 32 and the guiding direction of the guide path 3b while monitoring the display state of the controller 2 and the like. The operation input content is input to the route setting processing device 7 and the guidance control processing device 8, and used for route setting and guidance control.

  The voice input unit 52 corresponds to a microphone possessed by the controller 1 or a headset microphone attached to the head. A voice control instruction related to a route emitted from the controller 1 is converted into an electrical signal and output. Is done. The microphone may also be used as a microphone provided with a communication means for wireless communication with the pilot 31.

  The speaker determination unit 53 stores a voice pattern corresponding to the content of the control instruction for each controller 1 identification data. The speaker identification data by the ID card possessed by the controller 1 or the identification input by the controller 1 itself. The controller 1 that is the speaker is identified from the code or the like and notified to the voice recognition unit 54. Note that the controller 1 may be specified from a sound pattern emitted from the controller 1.

  The voice recognition unit 54 refers to the voice pattern of the corresponding controller 1 according to the notification from the speaker determination unit 53 for voice instructions related to the route input from the voice input unit 52, for example, a preset voice- Using text conversion, the information is converted into semantic information and sent to the control instruction analysis unit 55.

  The control instruction analysis unit 55 is connected to a distribution destination data storage unit 60 that defines the relationship between the semantic information and a plurality of distribution destinations. From the semantic information recognized by the voice recognition unit 54, the control target name (aircraft flight) Name), route element information on which the moving body 32 travels, and priority information regarding the order such as standby / follow-up / interrupt are extracted, and a distribution destination is determined.

  According to the contents of the recognized semantic information, the distribution destination by the control instruction analysis unit 55 is distributed to the control target confirmation unit 56 if it is a control target name such as a flight number or a vehicle number, and if it is route element information, it is a route. If it is priority information regarding the order of distribution, standby / follow-up / interrupt, standby, etc. to the information configuration unit 57, it is distributed to the situation determination unit 58.

  When the control object confirmation unit 56 receives the mobile object information (monitoring object information) obtained by the data processing device 4, it determines whether or not the control object name received from the control instruction analysis unit 55 is included in the mobile object information. To do. Here, when it is determined that the control target name is not included, an alarm is sent to the controller 1, and when it is determined that the control target name is included, the route information configuration unit 57 is notified of the control target name. .

  When the route information configuration unit 57 receives the control target name from the control target confirmation unit 56 and receives the route element information of the control target name from the control instruction analysis unit 55, the route information configuration unit 57 combines the route element information to form the route information. To do. The route information configuration unit 57 includes a route definition information storage unit 57a.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), for example, an outer taxi way, an inner taxi way, A1, A4, B1, ... and other passage names. Therefore, for example, A1, A2, A3, A4 are connected to the route definition information storage unit 57a as the name of the path (including the section) closest to the runway, and these path names A1, A2, A3, A4 are connected to the path definition information storage unit 57a. Definition information indicating that the passage is connected to the outer taxi way is defined.

  Usually, the controller's control instruction is a voice control instruction related to a route using a passage name (including a section name). For example, if the voice instruction regarding the route is route configuration information such as “A1”, “outer taxi way”, “B1”, “inner taxi way”, “C3”, etc., as shown in FIG. Select the element.

  Subsequently, according to the control instruction regarding the route, the element of the passage name outer taxi way is selected as shown in FIG. As a result, the passage A1 extends to the intersection with the outer taxi way, and a route connected to the A1-outer taxi way is determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the element of the passage name B1 is selected. By selecting this passage name B1, the passage name outer taxi way extends from the intersection with passage name A1 to the intersection with the next passage name B1, and the route connected to A1-outer taxi way-B1 is determined. .

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4D, the element of the passage name inner taxi way is selected. As a result, the passage name B1 extends from the intersection with the outer taxi way to the intersection with the inner taxi way, and a route that continues to A1-outer taxi way-B1-inner taxi way is determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4E, the element of the passage name C3 is selected. As a result, the inner taxi way extends from the intersection with the passage name B1 to the intersection with the passage name C3, and constitutes route information in which A1-outer taxi way-B1-inner taxi way-C3 continues.

  When the route information configuration unit 57 configures the entire route information from A1 to C3 as described above, the route information configuration unit 57 sends it to the situation determination unit 58 and the information integration unit 59 together with the control target name (flight name).

  At this time, if there is no intersection between the following two passage names (section names), it is determined that the route cannot be constructed, and the controller 1 is warned.

  The situation determination unit 58 determines whether or not the priority information previously received from the control instruction analysis unit 55 is valid based on the route information of the control target name that is configured. Notification to the unit 59.

  For example, the presence / absence of validity is determined according to, for example, whether or not the route (priority information) of the mobile unit 32 that has been instructed in advance intersects with the newly configured route information. For example, when the preceding route and the new route information do not intersect, it is determined that the priority information is invalid. If the priority information is valid, record it for future reference. If it is not appropriate, an alarm is output to the controller 1.

  The situation determination unit 58 determines whether there is a mismatch between the priority information and the guidance information obtained from, for example, the lighting / extinguishing state after the lighting control output from the guidance control processing device 8 as well as the route. Whether or not there is validity is determined in the same manner.

  The information integration unit 59 sends the entire route information including the control pair name to the route setting processing device 7 together with the priority information whose validity has been confirmed.

  The route setting processing device 7 stores the entire route information including the control target name configured this time, as well as the entire route information of the control target names of several preceding mobile bodies 32, and at predetermined times (periodic operation). The route information having the control target name is output to the guidance control processing device 8.

  At this time, according to the monitoring result, if change information such as a pilot 31 pilot error or a flight number of the preceding mobile body 32 is changed from the controller 1 through the operation input unit 51, corrected route information is generated. And sent to the guidance control processing device 8.

  Here, the guidance control processing device 8 performs lighting / extinguishing control of the airport lights 33 such as the stop line lamp 33a and the guidance path center line lamp 33b based on the route information from the route setting processing device 7.

  At this time, for example, the stop line light 33a to be lit by the controller 1 is not lit, or the guide line center line lamp 33b in the traveling direction is lit even though the stop line light 33a is lit. When it is confirmed that the change operation information is confirmed, change operation information related to the guidance operation is sent to the guidance control processing device 8 via the operation input unit 51. The guidance control processing device 8 corrects the lighting / extinguishing control of the airport lamp 33 based on the change operation information.

  The guidance control processing device 8 controls the airport lights 33 such as the stop line lights 33a and the taxiway center line lights 33b, and generates guidance information from the state of the airport lights 33 and the route information. Send it out.

  As described above, the situation determination unit 58 checks whether or not there is a mismatch between the priority information and the guidance information, and sends a warning regarding guidance to the controller 1 if there is a mismatch.

  As described above, the semantic information related to the route is extracted from the voice instruction issued from the controller 1, and the route information forming unit 57 configures the route information having a predetermined connection. Then, the configured route information is sent to the guidance control processing device 8 to control the airport lamp 33.

  At this time, the controller 1 monitors the moving body 32 on the airport surface 3 or monitors the display of the radar 21 and, based on these monitoring results, gives a control instruction by voice through the communication means 22 of the controller 2, for example, a radio telephone. And transmitted to the pilot 31 that controls the moving body 32.

  Further, the controller 1 confirms the position of the moving body 32 on the airport surface 3 and the state of the airport lighting 33 and operates the operation input unit 51 to obtain operation information related to the route and guidance output from the operation input unit 51. It outputs, controls the airport light 33, and guides the safe traveling of the moving body 32.

  Next, an embodiment of the operation of the control operation support apparatus and the control operation instruction method as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the control operation support device 5 is configured by a computer, the speaker determination unit 53 uses the input means (ID data read out from a switch, keyboard, ID card, etc.) from the controller 1 for example. It is determined whether or not person identification data is input (S1). When it is determined that the speaker identification data has been input, the controller identification data is stored in advance by referring to the identification data of each controller stored in advance (S2). The speaker determination unit 53 stores at least a voice pattern related to the route for each controller identification data. If the controller cannot be identified, an alarm is issued and the closest or general pattern is used. Steps S1 and S2 correspond to the controller specifying step.

  After the processing of the controller specifying step or in parallel with the processing of the controller specifying step, the voice input unit 52 and the voice recognition unit 54 determine whether or not a voice instruction related to the route is input from the controller 1. (S3).

  When determining that the voice instruction is input, the voice recognition unit 54 refers to the voice pattern of the identified controller for the voice instruction related to the route, the control target name (flight name), route element information, standby Convert to semantic information such as priority information such as follow-up and interrupt (S4). Steps S3 and S4 correspond to a route semantic information conversion step.

  Further, when the control instruction analysis unit 55 of the control operation support device 5 receives the semantic information from the voice recognition unit 54, for example, the control target name (flight name), route element information, and priority information regarding the order are extracted, and the distribution destination data is extracted. The distribution destination is determined by referring to the relationship between the semantic information defined in the storage unit 60 and the distribution destination. Then, for example, the control target name (flight name) is output to the control target confirmation unit 56, the route element information is output to the route information configuration unit 57, and priority information such as standby / follow-up / interrupt is output to the status determination unit 58 (S5). . Here, the reason for the distribution is that the judgment / processing contents are different, and the processing contents are determined individually, so that the instruction contents of the controller 1 can be judged more accurately and route information that does not cause any contradiction is configured. There is. This step S5 corresponds to a distribution control step.

  The control target confirmation unit 56 refers to the mobile object information sent from the data processing device 4 for the distributed control target name, determines the validity of the control target name, and when the control target name is valid, the control target name ( Target ID) is sent to the route information configuration unit 57.

  The route information configuration unit 57 uses the distributed route element information, and configures route information by sequentially connecting the route elements in a predetermined order as shown in FIG. 4 (S6). This step S6 corresponds to a route information configuration step.

  On the other hand, the situation determination unit 58 determines whether or not there is validity between the configured route information and the priority information related to the order (no contradiction occurs) (S7), and it is determined that it is not valid. In this case, a warning about the route is sent to the controller 1.

  If the priority information is appropriate from the finally configured route information, the information integration unit 59 sends the entire route information including the control target name (for example, the flight name) to the route setting processing device 7.

  When the route setting processing device 7 receives the current overall route information determined to be valid from the information integration unit 59, the current overall route information is followed by the previous overall route information configured for the preceding mobile body 32. And the route information is sent from the controller 1 to the guidance control processing device 8 while considering the operation information related to the route (S8).

  Here, the guidance control processing device 8 performs control of the airport lighting 33 that guides the moving body 32 according to the route information received from the route setting processing device 7. At this time, the controller 1 lights up from visual or visual monitoring. If the stop line lamp 33a is not lit, or if the stop line lamp 33a is lit but the guideway center line lamp 33b is lit, the controller 1 operates the controller The control of the airport lamp 33 is corrected according to the operation information relating to the guidance operation output from the input unit 51 (S9).

  Therefore, according to the embodiment having the above-described configuration, the controller 1 inputs a voice control instruction related to the route and converts it into semantic information by the voice recognition unit 54. The priority information regarding the control target name, the route element information, and the order is extracted, and the route information is configured by using the route element information in the route information configuration unit 57. Therefore, the airport light including this route information and the operation of the controller 1 is included. 33 can be implemented, and safe traveling of the moving body 32 can be guided.

  Accordingly, it is not necessary for the controller 1 to input the information while always paying close attention to the information, as compared with the case where the controller 1 inputs information about the route using a push button switch or a pointing device such as a mouse. As a result, attention can be paid to the necessary surrounding monitoring, which is the duty of the controller, so that even if a dangerous state occurs, it can be detected quickly and necessary measures can be taken promptly.

  In addition, since the controller 1 inputs voice control instructions related to the route and automatically configures the route information, monitoring of the control target can be continued, and visual recognition is delayed by keeping an eye on the control target even at night. Can be solved.

  Furthermore, at busy airports that frequently take off and landing, unlike manual control instructions, the workload can be greatly reduced, and even if incorrect control instructions are issued, the validity of the control target names and priorities are confirmed. Since the alarm is sent to the controller as necessary, it is possible to quickly detect misunderstandings and unclear instructions and to avoid dangerous situations.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 6 is an overall configuration diagram of an airport control support system including a control operation support device according to the second embodiment. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

  In the second embodiment, when the controller 1 issues a voice control instruction related to the route and transmits it to the pilot 31, the pilot 31 repeats the control instruction and issues a response voice to be returned to the controller 1. In view of the above, the route information configured by the route information configuration unit 57 is compared with the response voice from the pilot 31 based on the voice control instruction related to the route by the control control 1, and the presence or absence of consistency is determined. That is, it is determined whether or not the pilot 31 accurately recognizes the voice control instruction.

  The control operation support device 5 is newly provided with a pilot voice input unit 61, a pilot voice recognition unit 62, and a response verification unit 63 in the configuration of FIG.

  The pilot voice input unit 61 includes, for example, a radio reception unit. The pilot voice input unit 61 receives response voice from, for example, a radio telephone and sends it to the pilot voice recognition unit 62.

  The pilot voice recognition unit 62 converts the response voice into semantic information in the same manner as the voice recognition unit 54 for the controller. Usually, processing to acoustically analyze received response speech, processing to calculate similarity to small units such as phonemes from feature quantities (parameters) obtained by this analysis processing, optimal arrangement of phonemes and meaningful It is converted into semantic information by processing for generating a word.

  Note that a speaker determination unit 53 may be provided as in the first embodiment. That is, when a voice pattern is registered for each identification data of each pilot 31 and a response voice is received together with the identification data of the speaker (pilot 31), the voice pattern corresponding to the speaker is referred to, for example, preset. Using voice-to-text conversion, it is converted into semantic information.

  The response collation unit 63 collates the entire route information finally output from the information integration unit 59 and the semantic information of the response speech returned from the pilot 31 based on the voice control instructions related to the route simultaneously and in parallel. Then, the presence or absence of consistency is determined.

  In this response collating unit 63, a threshold value regarding the degree of coincidence is set in advance, and if the degree of coincidence of both pieces of information is equal to or less than the threshold value, it is determined that the consistency is not achieved, and an alarm is sent to the controller 1 .

  Therefore, according to the embodiment as described above, after issuing the voice control instruction related to the route from the controller 1, the entire output which is the output of the information integration unit 59 composed of the voice control finger related to the route. By comparing the route information with the semantic information of the response voice returned from the pilot 31, a contradiction in the response of the pilot 31 to the control instruction is determined, and necessary information is transmitted from the controller 1 to the pilot 31 again, for example. Thus, the control instruction can be accurately transmitted to the pilot 31.
