Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the accuracy of diagnosis by judging whether or not the physiological state of a vehicle driver is abnormal not only by mechanical judgement based on a diagnostic device but also by doctor's judgement. SOLUTION: Detected driver's physiological data are judged (primary judgement) by a simple diagnostic device loaded on a vehicle 10 at first, and when abnormality is detected, a running management base station 20 judges the data again by a highly accurate diagnostic device (secondary judgement). When the abnormality is still detected, the driver's physiological data are transmitted to a doctor standby station 30 to ask doctor's judgement (tertiary judgement). Since the driver's physiological data are finally diagnosed by a doctor, the diagnostic accuracy of the data is high. Running stop or the like is commanded directly to the driver of the vehicle 10 or through the base station 20 based on the diagnostic result. Emergency treatment is arranged to an emergency center 40 as necessary.

(Explanation of Problems) Conventionally, a threshold value has been set in advance for each driver's physiological data, and it has been determined whether or not the threshold value has been exceeded. For this reason, if the threshold value is set to a moderate value, a warning will be issued too much even though the symptoms are not so bad as to drive,
Conversely, when the threshold value is strict, there is a risk that the user may miss the fact that something is really abnormal. In addition, even if a driver is warned by a diagnosis device constituted by a computer or the like, he or she tends to ignore the warning if there is no subjective symptom, and the driver rarely stops driving. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

(Outline of Operation of Operation Management Apparatus) Judgment as to whether or not there is an abnormality in the physiological condition of the driver of the operation vehicle is performed not only by the mechanical judgment by the diagnostic apparatus but also by the judgment of a doctor. Improve the accuracy of diagnosis. That is, the measured driver physiological data is first determined by a simple diagnostic device mounted on the vehicle (primary determination), and if there is an abnormality, it is determined again by the operation management base station and a high-precision diagnostic device ( Secondary judgment). If there is still an abnormality, the driver's physiological data is transmitted to the doctor's waiting place, and the doctor's judgment is asked (tertiary judgment). Finally, since the diagnosis is made by a doctor, the diagnosis of the disease is performed with high accuracy. As a result, the driver can be informed immediately before the driver becomes inoperable or the like, and necessary safety measures can be taken.

The operation management base station 20 makes a judgment by the diagnostic device again on the transmitted driver physiological data (secondary judgment). The diagnostic device used for this determination is
A device with higher accuracy than the diagnostic device mounted on the vehicle 10 is used. If it is determined that there is an abnormality in the secondary determination, the driver physiological data is transmitted to the doctor waiting place 30. At the doctor waiting station 30, the doctor diagnoses the transmitted driver physiological data, and transmits the diagnosis result to the operation management base station 20. The operation management base station 20 sends a required command (for example, a driving stop command, etc.) to the vehicle 10 based on the diagnosis result, contacts the emergency center 40 as needed, and arranges for emergency. If urgently needed,
An emergency command such as a driving stop command is issued directly from the doctor waiting place 30 to the vehicle 10. When the driver of the vehicle 10 receives a command from the doctor waiting station 30 or the operation management base station 20, if there is a spare capacity, the driver contacts the emergency center 40 and arranges for emergency.

First, the configuration of the vehicle 10 will be described.
The driver physiological data measurement unit 11 takes an electrocardiogram,
It is composed of a device that measures various physiological data such as brain waves, blood pressure, and pulse waves. The measured data is stored in the time-series data storage unit 13 in a temporal order. The driver physiological state primary determination unit 12 includes a diagnostic device, and determines whether or not there is an abnormality by comparing the measured driver physiological data with a preset threshold value. For example, it is determined whether or not the heart rate is abnormal, or the RR measurement process of the electrocardiogram is performed to determine whether or not the heart rate is abnormal. Since the mounting space is limited, a small and simple device has to be used as the diagnostic device of the driver physiological condition primary determination unit 12, but the accuracy of the determination is not very good. Therefore, in this primary determination, the threshold value for the determination is set to a low value so as not to overlook the abnormal case.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the processing procedure in the present invention. Step 1: Measure physiological data of the driver in the vehicle 10 (eg, take an electrocardiogram). Step 2... Based on the measured driver physiological data, the driver physiological state primary judgment unit 12 mounted on the vehicle 10.
Then, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality. Since accurate diagnosis cannot be expected with the diagnostic device mounted on the vehicle 10, the determination here is to catch a case without abnormality by setting a low threshold value for comparison with data, etc. This is the main decision. Step 3: The result of the primary judgment is a disease (eg, heart disease)
Check whether the result is possible. If there is no possibility, the measured data is stored and the process returns to step 1.

Step 4: If there is a possibility of a disease, the driver's physiological data is sent to the operation management base station 20. Step 5: Diagnosis is also performed by the diagnostic device in the driver physiological condition secondary judgment unit 21 of the operation management base station 20, but diagnosis with higher accuracy than diagnosis in the vehicle is performed. Step 6: The result of the secondary judgment is a disease (eg, heart disease)
Check whether the result is possible. Step 7: If there is no possibility of a disease, the driver's physiological data is saved to contribute to a future diagnosis, and the process ends.

As described above, according to the operation management device of the present invention, it is possible to determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the physiological condition of the driver of the vehicle, not only by the mechanical determination by the diagnostic device, but also by the diagnostic device.
Since the judgment is made in addition to the judgment by the doctor, the accuracy of the diagnosis can be improved. Therefore, even if the disease state does not hinder driving at all, the driver does not need to instruct the driver to stop driving or the like, and can issue a command only when absolutely necessary. In addition, since the driver knows that the accuracy of diagnosis is high, commands and warnings are less likely to be ignored.
