The IC card is inserted into a predetermined CP management box to register the data in a host CPM. An operator in charge of driving/operation wears a health condition detection terminal. When the operator is on a predetermined driver's seat, the terminal identifies the operator and detects the current health conditions of the operator for each control item. The data detected are sent to the host CPM and analyzed as they are compared with the registered data measured under normal conditions, to determine whether the operator can go to the next step of driving/operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a system for safely operating and operating movable heavy equipment such as various cranes, trains, automobiles, and the like, and more specifically, the health condition of an operator who is in charge of driving and operating the above devices and equipment. By detecting whether or not driving / operation is possible, it is possible to prevent driving / operation in a dangerous state, and to detect abnormalities that occur during driving / operation and take appropriate measures at the same time. The present invention relates to a health data management system for operators that can return to a safe state.

  In addition to private passenger cars, public vehicles such as trains and buses, movable cranes and hoists used in factories or in harbors and construction sites, etc., must be fully maintained in advance, assuming that they can be operated safely. Safe operation is guaranteed by a so-called qualified person who has been recognized as having a specific level of skill and is well-understood, and who is familiar with its functions Has been.

  However, recently, there have been many examples of mishaps resulting in mishaps due to drowsiness caused by overcrowded schedules and drinking caused by personal carelessness. In the case of an accident caused by an individual passenger car or a public bus, once a personal accident has occurred, not only the victim, but also the damage to the family and company as well as the perpetrator In fact, there are many cases that cannot be compensated for over a lifetime.

  In order to prevent such a situation, for example, in companies, etc., thorough safety education for operators, i.e. drivers, is carried out, and constant efforts are made not to neglect the maintenance of equipment, equipment, buses, trucks, etc. ing. However, even if such personnel affairs are exhausted, the accident never ends, so various countermeasures have been studied from the past, and many have already been put into practical use.

  For example, measures to prevent catastrophic traffic accidents, that is, technological innovation for the automobile itself as preventive safety technology, and by adding structural or mechanical improvements, near the vehicle performance limit for the driver (operator) Before asking for control of the vehicle, research on the driving support system that compensates for the driver's recognition, judgment, and operation characteristics on the vehicle side, specifically, steering stability control by controlling the steering angle of the front and rear wheels Improvement (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), improvement of steering stability by braking force control (for example, refer to Patent Document 2), improvement of steering stability by driving force control (for example, refer to Patent Document 3), steering by suspension control Stability improvement (for example, see Patent Document 4), improvement in steering stability by engine control (for example, see Patent Document 5), etc. have been developed in competition. It has been reported some progress each already been put to practical use.

  However, there is a limit to preventing accidents by structural innovation alone, and the driver's (operator, hereinafter collectively referred to as “operator”) mental state and fatigue level are observed to call attention according to the situation. Many methods have been tried. For example, one of the common methods is to observe the facial expression of the operator with a camera attached to a part of the driver's seat, and if it reaches a situation where it is attacked by a sleeper, it will immediately trigger an alarm and stimulate sleepiness. Has been adopted since ancient times. In addition, a charge coupled device (CCD) camera attached to the upper part of the driver's seat is used to determine the operator's left hand while monitoring it, sending a signal to an air conditioner, a fan, etc. There has also been proposed a method of waking up sleepiness by automatically operating. In addition, the sensor attached to the handle detects the operator's heat and issues an alarm, and the sensor attached to the handle detects the operator's heart rate, analyzes the electrocardiogram, and analyzes the pattern to detect sleepiness. There are proposals for a method that encourages safe driving by relieving the mental stress of the operator by automatically playing music, such as a high-tempo rhythm and a slow classic when frustration is detected.

In addition, a plurality of devices mounted on the vehicle with different intended purposes, such as a door lock control device that controls locking or unlocking of a door lock, an engine control device that controls driving and stopping of an engine, etc., have different requests. An in-vehicle remote control device (see, for example, Patent Document 6) that controls by a signal and stops driving of the engine by a remote operation in the event of an abnormality is proposed. It is expected as a possibility to stop the vehicle and avoid accidents.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-264833 JP 11-227586 A JP 7-47859 A JP 11-129723 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-70940 JP 11-91507 A

  By the way, each of the prior arts is a means corresponding to a change in the situation after an operator actually gets on a device such as a truck and starts driving, and each achieves an intended result. . However, if the operator himself / herself has accumulated physical abnormalities or mental stresses, abnormalities may occur in an unpredictable state. There is also a concern that measures will no longer be able to cope. For example, drivers of route buses, etc. used for commuting to school, where regular driving is the mission, start the operation because of the sense of mission given while being aware of abnormal physical condition, resulting in importance Many cases have been reported, and the importance of the advance check function has been repeatedly screamed.

  In view of the actual situation in the field, the present invention strictly grasps the state of health of the operator's mind and body using data, and an operator who is concerned about the state of health cannot drive or operate. The purpose is to provide a health data management system for operators from the viewpoint of eliminating the anxiety of retrospectives by prior checks.

  In order to achieve the above object, the health data management system for operators according to the present invention records the health data of the operator's individual measured for each management item in an IC card and inserts the IC card into a predetermined CP management box. As a result, the data is registered in the host CPM, the operator in charge of driving / operation is equipped with a health condition detection terminal, and when the operator waits in a predetermined driver's seat, the terminal confirms the identity of the operator. The health status of the operator at present is detected for each management item, and the detected data is transmitted to the host CPM to be analyzed in comparison with the recorded normal data. It is a characteristic configuration requirement to determine whether or not to shift to a step.

  In the health data management system for an operator, when the operator who is waiting in the driver's seat is not confirmed as the registered person, or is transmitted to the health data for each management item, it is registered in advance in the host CPM. When data showing a value that is clearly different from the normal data is detected, the main power source required for operation / operation cannot be unlocked.

  In the health data management system for an operator, the health data management items recorded on the IC card include: pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, sweating, shaking, blood alcohol level, blood aldehyde value, sleepiness It is a requirement that the management item is selected as necessary from all the management items except blood pressure, blood alcohol level, and sleepiness.

  In the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention, it is required that the normal health data of the operator recorded on the IC card is updated at least every three months.

  The health data management system for an operator according to the present invention is such that a health condition detection terminal attached to the operator directly contacts the operator himself such as a wristwatch type, a seat type equipped in the driver's seat, or a driver's seat such as an operation handle. It is a type that is installed in various nearby devices, and requires a terminal having a detection function by various sensors.

  Furthermore, in the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention, the health condition detection terminal attached to the operator after the start of the driving operation or during the driving operation stores abnormal data corresponding to any of the health data management items. When detected, the data is immediately transmitted to the host CPM, prompting the operator by issuing an alarm and automatically decelerating, and based on the analysis by the host CPM, flashing alarm lamps, flicker lamps, etc. provided outside the vehicle In addition to notifying the occurrence of an abnormality to a third party, the main power source required for driving operation is locked until the operation is eventually stopped and the health management data of the operator returns to the normal value. It is assumed to be an essential component.

  If the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention is adopted, a movable heavy machine such as various cranes, a driver who operates and operates a public vehicle such as a train or a route bus, that is, an operator can use his / her personal health during normal times. This operation is eliminated in advance when the vehicle is in a state where an abnormality is observed. In other words, an operator who operates the above-mentioned device or vehicle is obliged to have an IC card that records the health data of the operator personally measured in advance for each management item in advance, and prior to driving the IC card Is inserted into the CP box, and the data is registered in the host CPM. Instead, the operator is equipped with a terminal for health condition detection, and the terminal is installed when waiting in a predetermined driver's seat, and is necessary for management items. Depending on the situation, the current state of the operator's health is detected by various terminals installed in the vicinity of the driver's seat, transmitted to the host CPM, and analyzed against the registered normal data of the operator. Based on the above, it is designed so that whether or not the vehicle can be operated / operated is determined immediately. If the health data detected for each management item shows an abnormality that exceeds the normal health data allowable range, the main power supply of the device or vehicle remains locked and cannot be released. Therefore, it is a system that avoids driving in a state where danger is foreseen.

  According to the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention, an abnormality such as sleepiness during a driving operation is detected by the terminal and transmitted to the host CPM, and an alarm is immediately transmitted to prompt the operator to be alerted. Is the first stage action, and then automatically decelerates, and step-by-step safety measures are taken based on the analysis by the host CPM, and finally the operation is stopped. The main power supply is locked until it returns to the point or until it is confirmed that it has been replaced with a substitute operator whose normal value has been confirmed by the IC card. As described above, the health data management system for operators according to the present invention is a system in which safety measures and prior measures are given the highest priority, so it is extremely limited to reliably prevent tragic accidents. It becomes possible to.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described more specifically based on the attached drawings and examples, but the invention according to the present application is not restricted thereby, and is within the scope of the gist of the present invention. The design can be freely changed.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart schematically showing an embodiment when the health data management system for operators according to the present invention is applied to the operation of a route bus, and (a) is a normal health state in the normal time of the driver. (B) shows an example of a management system from entry to the yard of the route bus to completion of driving preparation, and (c) shows the procedure until the route bus starts. (D) is a flowchart figure which shows an example of the said management system in driving | running | working.

  According to the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention, normal health management data of each operator, that is, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, electrocardiogram, pulse, respiratory rate, body temperature, sweating, blood aldehyde, etc. are required. Data for each management item is recorded in advance on an IC card, and the IC card is obliged to be carried at all times at the stage of work. The health data recorded on the IC card measures and records the health data of the individual operator during normal times, but these measured values have a certain allowable range at the upper and lower limits depending on age and lifestyle. Therefore, in collecting health data, examination by a specialist is necessary in consideration of management items. The operator is obliged to insert the IC card into a predetermined CP management box and register it in the host CPM prior to driving / operating work. This is the first barrier of the health data management system according to the present invention, and has a structure that makes it impossible to move to the driver's seat without such a procedure. An operator who has completed the registration procedure is equipped with a dedicated health condition detection terminal and immediately starts to detect the health condition of each management item in the current situation of the operator. At the same time, a breath test is performed. If the breath test detects an abnormality in alcohol exhaled or an aldehyde value exceeding the specified value, the warning lamp blinks or an abnormality is notified by an alarm, and the operator refuses to move to the driver's seat. The state is continued until the numerical value returns to normal. On the other hand, if the alcohol level in the exhaled breath obtained by the breath test is below the regulation value based on the law (as of January 2004: 0.25 mg / L), move to the driver's seat and wait At that stage, the next step, for example, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, electrocardiogram, sweating state, etc. is detected for each management item and transmitted to the host CPM.

  The transmitted data is analyzed in the CPM management room against the normal data registered in the host CPM, and if it is recognized as the normal value or within the allowable range for the normal value, the next step of operation / operation Transition to is accepted, and the power lock of the device is released. On the other hand, if the transmitted health data shows an abnormality exceeding the allowable range, the power lock of the device is not released, the operator is instructed to leave the driver's seat, and the operation of the device is stopped, Or, a reserved operator will perform the operation and operation on the same procedure.

  In the present invention, the detection terminal that functions to detect the current state of health of the operator is usually a type that directly contacts the operator and a type that is installed in the vicinity of the driver's seat and that is indirectly observed. Although roughly classified, in the system of the present invention, these known means can be appropriately selected and employed. For example, the former search terminal is a wristwatch type that can be worn on the operator's arm and can measure pulse and body temperature, maximum blood pressure or minimum blood pressure, seat type set in the driver's seat, or head There is a headphone microphone type, a simple electrocardiogram measuring instrument that displays an electrocardiogram just by holding it with your hand and placing it on your chest. The latter is a type that detects the heart rate with a sensor set on the handle, or set near the driver's seat For example, there is a type that detects the movement and expression of a finger such as a trembling of an operator by a CCD camera, and these can be used alone or in combination with a plurality of management items.

  The operator waiting in the driver's seat detects the current state of health by wearing the detection terminal or sitting at a predetermined position according to the procedure determined by the management item, and the data is transmitted to the host CPM. The data is analyzed in comparison with normal data registered in the CPM management room. If there is no abnormality in the data for each management item, or if it is recognized that it is within the allowable range, the operator is allowed to proceed to the next step for operation and operation, and the power lock etc. Canceled. On the other hand, if an abnormality exceeding the permissible range is found in even one item in the compared data, the main power source is not unlocked and waits until the data returns to normal or temporarily leaves the driver's seat and acts as a substitute You are instructed to replace the operator. Such a determination is also automatically issued in the CPM management room by analysis based on management items incorporated in the host CPM in advance.

  In the present invention, it is indispensable for the operator himself to carry the IC card containing normal health data as described above, but the health data is preferably the latest, and at least It is mandatory to renew every three months, preferably every month. The IC card that has passed the specified update period is immediately rejected when it is inserted into the CP management box, and the transition to the next step relating to operation / operation is impossible until the data is updated.

  The above-described series of operation procedures according to the present invention is described by exemplifying the case where the system of the present invention is applied to a bus company or the like organized in a considerable scale. The management system is not restrained by this, and can be sufficiently applied even to a small-scale transportation company that is privately managed. In particular, because of the recent technological innovation, the CPM has been remarkably reduced in capacity and size. For example, by installing the host CPM in the actual vehicle, the CPM management room for central control can be omitted. Further, in the above operation procedure, a so-called first-stage detection test including a first barrier in which an IC card is inserted into a predetermined CP management box and registered in the host CPM, and a breath test after passing through the first barrier, It can also be carried out at the actual driver / operator seat, and if the health data for each control item is not confirmed to be normal values or within the allowable range for normal values in the inspection, driving / operating The main power supply of the device required for the operation is not released yet, and the operation / operation in a state where danger is predicted is impossible in the system.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on examples. FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a situation in which a route bus standing by at a yard is placed on a predetermined route based on the system of the present invention, and the driver in charge is shown in FIG. In this way, the health status of the person during normal times is examined by a specialist based on the management items, and health data in a normal state is provided as numerical values. At this time, information on the upper and lower limit allowable ranges is also received from the doctor, and the information is recorded on a predetermined IC card. The driver who has arrived at the yard to get a driving job inserts the IC card into a predetermined CP box and registers his health data in the host CPM as shown in FIG. A driver who has been identified by the above procedure is allowed to enter the driving waiting room, and at the same time, a breath test is required. As a result of the breath test, the driver according to the present example has not detected any abnormality in the alcohol level during expiration, and therefore is permitted to enter the yard and wears a wristwatch type detection terminal. The wristwatch type detection terminal sequentially measures the driver's systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and the like and transmits them to the host CPM. As a result of analyzing the transmitted data in the CPM management room, it is confirmed that the driver according to this example is within the allowable range of normal health data in all the management items. The main power supply lock required for operation was released, and a command was issued to leave the operation area on time. The route bus of the present example, which has advanced to the commercial operation of the route, adds a driving driver to the wristwatch type detection terminal and a rearview mirror by a CCD camera installed behind the driver's seat as shown in (d). Since the facial expression is transmitted to the host CPM via the monitor and is regularly and constantly observed by the monitor in the CPM management room, it is possible to quickly cope with abnormalities such as sleepiness.

  As described in detail above, according to the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention, various normal state health data measured by the operator during normal times, such as data such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and electrocardiogram, are obtained. It is possible to enter the site without going through the procedure of pre-recording on a predetermined IC card and inserting the IC card into a predetermined PC management box and registering it in the host CPM prior to driving operation. The structure is not possible. In addition, if you do not clear the first step by the breath test at the same time as the identity verification, you will not be able to get to the driver's seat, and then a medical check will be performed for each management item, and the obtained data will be sent to the host CPM and registered It is analyzed in comparison with normal data, and it is confirmed that no abnormality has been detected in the data for all the management items, and the main power supply is unlocked for the first time to start operation. System. That is, the health data management system for an operator according to the present invention has a mechanism in which it is impossible to engage in driving / operation when it is not confirmed in terms of data that the health condition of the operator himself / herself is maintained in a normal state. Therefore, the danger is eliminated with high accuracy. Furthermore, since the health data management system for operators according to the present invention is configured to observe the health status of the operator after the start of operation, if a slight abnormality is found in the health status during driving, the host can quickly host. Since the situation is transmitted to the CPM and a system for instructing the second best response is prepared, the continuation of driving in a state where danger is predicted is immediately resolved.

  Further, the system according to the present invention constructs a simple system in which the CPM management room and the host CPM are omitted by mounting the CPM itself on a real vehicle or device, and the IC is mounted on the CPM mounted on the real vehicle or device. Insert the card, register health data for each management item, detect the current state of health through a medical examination at the driver's / operator's seat, perform the same analysis as above, and make the operator's health state normal in normal times Only when it is confirmed that the state is maintained within the allowable range, the main power supply necessary for driving operation is unlocked. Even during driving, there is a mechanism that is continuously monitored by the actual vehicle or CPM mounted on the device as described above, and that it is possible to quickly deal with the second best in the event of an abnormality.

  As described above, the health data management system for operators according to the present invention reduces the burden on the operator himself despite the fact that countermeasures for seeking risk avoidance are almost complete. However, since the investment cost is not excessive, it can be expected to be widely used in the field of driving and operating public vehicles, etc. where the highest priority is given to dangerous cargo handling work and respect for life.

  It is a flowchart figure which shows typically one Example of the health data management system for operators by this invention, (a) shows the procedure which records a normal health state of an operator on an IC card, (b) An example of a management system until the completion of driving equipment is shown, (c) shows a procedure until starting, and (d) is a flowchart showing an example of the management system during traveling.
