Description

  The present invention relates to an in-car inspection system for detecting illegal boarding by saving labor in a train of a transportation system (hereinafter referred to as a train) including railways and buses that transport passengers to a plurality of destinations.

  The conventional ticket checking system for detecting unauthorized boarding passes data such as train name, boarding section, seat number, etc. wirelessly from the station building by passing the designated seat ticket through the automatic ticket gate, A receiving section for receiving data, a reserved seat data selecting section for selecting only the data of the own train from the above data, and transmitting the selected boarding section and seat number data to the central processing unit, and a reserved seat for the train A human body detection sensor, which is mounted on the inside of the armrest and detects the heat of the human body, or a capacitance sensor that is mounted in front of the seat back and detects the volume of the human body. When a person is seated on the seat, a load sensor that detects the weight of the person and sends an output, a central processing unit including a personal computer, and the like from the central processing unit A display device such as a liquid crystal display for sequentially displaying a screen for each designated seat vehicle on the basis of the force is provided.

  Therefore, when the passenger passes the reserved seat ticket through the automatic ticket gate, the train name, boarding section and reserved seat number recorded in the reserved seat ticket are read, and these data are transferred from the transmitter installed in the station building to the train. Sent to. This data is received by the train reception unit, the passenger section of the own train and the designated seat number are selected by the designated seat data selection unit and input to the central processing unit, and the central processing unit uses this data as designated seat data. Store in memory. The central processing unit monitors whether the human body detection sensor detects the human body from the time when the train enters the platform and passengers get in, or the time when the train departs, and when the human body detection sensor detects the human body, Whether the load sensor detects a certain weight or more is monitored.

  If this is a judgment based only on the human body detection sensor, the seated passenger grasps the armrest of the adjacent seat and the far-infrared sensor of the adjacent seat detects the human body or throws out his foot to the adjacent seat. The human body sensor detects the human body and may generate an error signal. Therefore, the human body is detected by the AND condition of the signal from the human body detection sensor and the load sensor of the seat, and the seated passenger is detected more reliably. It is what you are doing. In addition, if there is only a load sensor, the seated passenger thinks that the next seat is vacant and places a saddle etc. so that a false detection will be sent and a seating signal will be sent. Passengers seated according to conditions are detected.

When seating data for detecting a seated passenger is sent to the central processing unit, the central processing unit compares the seating data with the seating data, and the designated seat data is not stored as the seating data. On the other hand, whether or not seating data is input is detected, and if it is input, a display indicating that the seating is illegal is displayed on the display.
In addition, the above comparison is performed for each stop station, so if you are seated despite the fact that the vacant seat data has been entered past the boarding section, it is determined that you are an illegal passenger and a message to that effect is displayed. Do.

  When the vehicle is a non-reserved seat, when the unreserved seat ticket passes through the automatic ticket gate, the train name and boarding section are sent to the train side as data like the reserved seat ticket, and this data is compared with the human body detection sensor. By doing so, the conductor can know the exact boarding rate of the free seat. In addition, by inputting the riding section data to the seating data storage means for each passenger of each seat number at the time of ticket checking by the conductor, the human body detection sensor can detect the human body detection signal even though the inputted riding section has been passed. , It is either a new passenger or an unauthorized passenger who has passed over, so the conductor checks the ticket again to prevent unauthorized boarding, so-called kissel boarding. It was. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

JP 2001-10490 (paragraphs 0014-0029, FIGS. 1 to 3)

  As described above, since the illegal boarding detection by the conventional in-car inspection system detects the passenger's seating by the sensor provided on the seat, there is a problem that it cannot be detected correctly depending on the seating position and posture of the passenger. In addition, passengers who are seated in a standing position cannot be detected by the seat sensor, and there is a problem that unauthorized boarding cannot be detected.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. For example, a ticket issuing means for issuing a ticket including an IC tag in which at least boarding section information is described is provided in a station building, for example. By allowing passengers to carry the ticket issued by the issuing means, it is possible to detect illegal boarding regardless of the seating position and posture of the passenger, and even for passengers boarding in a standing position, It is an object of the present invention to provide an in-car inspection system that can detect a vehicle.

  In the in-car inspection system according to the present invention, in a transportation system that transports passengers to a plurality of destinations, at least the boarding section information of a ticket including an IC tag in which boarding section information is recorded is wirelessly transmitted in the vehicle of the transportation system. Passenger sections based on the detection means to be read in, the current station information generation means for generating the current station information of the transportation, the boarding section information from the detection means and the current station information from the current station information generation means Means for detecting outside boarding.

  Since the in-car inspection system according to the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to detect unauthorized boarding such as out-of-section boarding or possession of a ticket without being affected by the seating position or posture of the passenger. Unauthorized boarding can also be detected for passengers riding in a standing position.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of an in-car inspection system according to the first embodiment. This figure shows a vehicle A including a driver's cab and one vehicle B for passengers on the same train. The vehicle B has an ITV camera 1 for passenger cabin monitoring, and a detection device 6 that is provided on both sides of the seat and on the portion facing the passage, and detects an IC tag ticket (to be described later) possessed by the passengers 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and the like, and in the cab 12 of the vehicle A, a guest room monitoring video monitor 15 for visually monitoring a video signal from the ITV camera 1 for guest room monitoring, and a guest room The video signal from the monitoring ITV camera 1, that is, the processing of the passenger location signal and the signal from the detection devices 6 to 11 are processed through the signal line 6A and distributed and output to the in-car ticket management device 14 for detecting illegal boarding. A video distribution device 13 and a vehicle monitoring device 16 for monitoring the state of in-vehicle devices and managing the current position of the train are provided.

The IC tag boarding ticket is a very thin IC tag (not shown) such as an IC card that can record boarding section information, reserved seat information, boarding day information, etc., and is embedded in a part of the boarding ticket. Since a weak electromagnetic wave is generated from the IC tag, it is recorded on the IC tag by placing a well-known predetermined detection device close to the IC tag within a range of about 1 to 2 m. Content can be read wirelessly.
Since this type of IC tag can be manufactured at a low price in recent years, there is an increasing possibility that it can be used for a disposable ticket.

The guest room monitoring ITV camera 1 always captures the state of the guest room and provides passenger location information in the vehicle, and is provided with a sufficient number for photographing and monitoring all passengers.
The video data of these cameras is transmitted to the driver's cab 12 via the connection line 1A, distributed to the in-car inspection management device 14 and the cabin video monitor 15 by the video distribution device 13, and output to each. The guest room video monitor 15 can project and monitor the in-vehicle video of the designated vehicle when the driver selects the vehicle to be monitored.
The vehicle monitoring device 16 manages the current station of the train by manually inputting the first and last stations by the driver and counting the travel distance by the tacho generator. It constitutes current station information generating means for transmitting.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the signal processing unit of the in-car inspection management device 14 described above. The IC tag information reading unit 20 that reads boarding section information and reserved seat information recorded on the IC tag of the ticket scans each of the detection devices 6 to 11 sequentially, and the ICs possessed by the passengers 2 to 5 in each seat and passage. Read boarding section information and reserved seat information from the tag boarding ticket.
The IC tag information check processing unit 21 collates with the current station information of the train received from the vehicle monitor device 16, and when it is outside the section recorded in the IC tag ticket, it is determined that the boarding is outside the section and the flag outside the section is set. If it is within the section, the ticket check OK flag is set, and the target ID and the target seat number are sent to the general processing unit 22. On the other hand, the guest room video signal is sequentially scanned from the guest room monitoring ITV camera 1 via the video distribution device 13 by the guest room video signal reading unit 23 to read out passenger location information for each camera, and the guest room video signal check processing unit 24, image processing is performed to determine whether or not there is a passenger for each seat and for each block of the passage. The processing result of the IC tag information check processing unit 21 and the processing result of the guest room video signal check processing unit 24 are sent to the general processing unit 22 to perform the ticket checking process and the illegal boarding check, and the processing result is the ticket checking result display unit 25. Is displayed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the ticket checking process and the illegal boarding check process according to the first embodiment. The IC tag information 31 of the predetermined seat read by the detection devices 6 to 11, that is, the boarding section information and the designated seat information of the ticket are collated with the current station information 32 of the train in the IC tag information check processing unit 21. It is checked whether it is within the ticket purchase zone. If it is within the section, the “check ticket OK flag” is set in the ticket check table 33 as normal boarding, and if it is outside the section, the “out-section flag” is set as boarding outside the section.
The guest room video signal check processing unit 21 performs image processing on the guest room video shot by the guest room monitoring ITV camera 1, and whether there is a passenger for each block (each seat and a passage between the seats are one block). The location information of each passenger is recorded as a guest room video signal check result 34.
The overall processing unit 22 checks the ticket checking table 33, and if there is a passenger in a block in which neither of the "check ticket OK flag" or "out-of-section flag" is set, that is, the boarding section information is obtained from the IC tag ticket. If the passenger's whereabouts are confirmed by the ITV camera, the passenger determines that he / she does not have the ticket and sets the “not possession flag” in the ticket checking table 33, and displays the ticket check result display unit 25. Displays the check result based on the check table 33.

It is the schematic which shows the structure of the in-vehicle ticket-checking system by Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the signal processing part of the in-vehicle inspection management device of Embodiment 1. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of the in-vehicle inspection system by Embodiment 1.
