  The evacuation guidance system guides people in buildings, such as buildings, underground malls, stations, stadiums, etc., upon receipt of earthquake early warnings, and promotes evacuation. In this embodiment, a system for a building is taken as an example.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the evacuation guidance system 1 includes an emergency earthquake warning reception system 10, an in-building earthquake evaluation system 20, a video information monitoring system 30, a voice information transmission system 40, and a blinking guidance system. 50, a video information display system 60, and an evacuation guidance support management system 70, and these systems 10 to 70 are communicably connected via a router 80. The evacuation guidance system 1 operates with electric power from an emergency power supply facility (not shown) provided in the building at the time of a power failure.

  The earthquake early warning receiving system 10 corresponds to a bulletin receiving unit, and receives an earthquake early warning transmitted from the Japan Meteorological Agency through a distribution company via the Internet. The earthquake early warning receiving system 10 includes a breaking news receiving PC 11, a display device 12, an input device 13, and a router 14. The breaking news receiving PC 11 has a breaking news receiving controller 11c, and the breaking news receiving controller 11c has a CPU 11a and a storage unit 11b. The CPU 11a is a central part of control, and operates according to a computer program stored in the storage unit 11b. The storage unit 11b is a part that stores computer programs and various data, and is configured by a memory or a hard disk. The display device 12 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and the input device 13 is, for example, a keyboard or a mouse.

  Upon receiving the emergency earthquake bulletin, the breaking news receiving PC 11 notifies the general management PC 71 of the evacuation guidance support management system 70 that the emergency earthquake bulletin has been received. The received content is transmitted in response to a request from the overall management PC 71. Further, the overall management PC 71 determines whether or not evacuation guidance is required for people in the building based on the contents of the received emergency earthquake bulletin.

  In addition, although other systems, such as the earthquake evaluation system 20 in a building, also have the controllers 21c-71c, CPU21a-71a, and the memory | storage parts 21b-71b, they are the same as what the emergency earthquake bulletin receiving system 10 has. The description is omitted.

The in-building earthquake evaluation system 20 corresponds to an earthquake measuring unit and constantly measures the magnitude of an earthquake in a building. This in-building earthquake evaluation system 20 includes an earthquake evaluation PC 21, a display device 22, an input device 23, a router 24, and a seismic intensity measurement device 25. The seismic intensity measuring device 25 is arranged in a plurality of areas in the building and measures the seismic intensity of the arranged areas. For example, it is arranged for each floor of a building, and the seismic intensity for each floor is measured. The measured seismic intensity is transmitted to the earthquake evaluation PC 21 via the router 24. In the earthquake evaluation PC 21, the measured seismic intensity is stored in the storage unit 21 b together with information on the measurement location, time and time (for example, elapsed time since the occurrence of the earthquake). By analyzing the stored seismic intensity information, it is possible to know where and how much the building has shaken.
In this in-building earthquake evaluation system 20, the earthquake evaluation PC 21 analyzes the contents of the emergency earthquake warning and the seismic intensity information measured by the seismic intensity measuring device 25, and immediately estimates the estimated seismic intensity for each target area (for example, for each floor). To do. Then, the earthquake evaluation PC 21 transmits analysis-related information such as the estimated assumed seismic intensity to the overall management PC 71 as necessary.

  The video information monitoring system 30 corresponds to a video acquisition unit, and acquires video in a building. The video information monitoring system 30 includes, for example, a camera server 31, a display device 32, an input device 33, a monitoring recorder 34, and a video camera 35. A plurality of video cameras 35 are prepared and photograph a plurality of places in the building. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, a plurality of video cameras 35 are installed on each floor, and a passage serving as an evacuation route is photographed. Therefore, the video camera 35 is arranged at a position where an obstacle existing on the evacuation route can be photographed. The video camera 35 of this embodiment takes images from one end side to the other end side and from the other end side to the one end side in the linear path. The surveillance recorder 34 records the video signal from the video camera 35. For example, an analog video signal is converted into digital video data and stored in a hard disk or the like constituting a part of the storage unit. At this time, the video data is stored in a state associated with the shooting date and time and information on the installation location of the video camera 35. The camera server 31 acquires video data from the monitoring recorder 34 and controls the start and stop of recording by the monitoring recorder 34. Then, in response to a request from the overall management PC 71, the camera server 31 transmits the stored video data.

  The voice information transmission system 40 constitutes an evacuation guide unit, and guides people in the building by voice during evacuation. The voice information transmission system 40 includes a voice server 41, a display device 42, an input device 43, a control unit 44, an announcement device 45, and a speaker 46. A plurality of speakers 46 are prepared and output sound at a plurality of locations in the building. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, a speaker 46 is installed in each room. Moreover, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the speaker 46 is also installed in several places of a passage and an elevator hall. The announcement device 45 outputs a voice signal for outputting a voice message from the speaker 46. The announcement device 45 of this embodiment can select the speaker 46 that is the output destination of the audio signal. For this reason, a plurality of types of voice data that are the basis of voice messages are stored in a storage unit (not shown). Then, the selected voice message can be output from the desired speaker 46 by selecting the voice data, converting it to an analog signal and outputting it. For example, a voice message such as “Exit the door and evacuate to the right” or “Exit the door and evacuate to the left” can be output. The control unit 44 is disposed between the announcement device 45 and the voice server 41, and controls the announcement device 45 in accordance with a command from the voice server 41. The voice server 41 controls voice output in response to a request from the overall management PC 71. That is, the announcement device 45 is controlled via the control unit 44 and a voice message is output from the speaker 46.

  The flashing guidance system 50 also constitutes an evacuation guidance unit, and guides people in the building by light emission of the light emitting unit during evacuation. The blinking guidance system 50 includes a blinking guidance PC 51, a display device 52, an input device 53, a control unit 54, and LED indicators 55 to 57. The LED display 55 or the like corresponds to a light emitting unit, and represents a guiding direction by light emission. For example, in the square LED display 55 and the round LED display 57, a plurality of displays are arranged in a state of being aligned along the guiding direction. And a guidance direction is represented by switching the light emission indicator in order. For example, when a person in a building is to be guided forward, first, only the display located closest to the front is turned on among a plurality of displays aligned in the front-rear direction. Next, this indicator is turned off, and only the second indicator from the front is turned on. Thereafter, in the same manner, the light indicator can be guided by sequentially switching the indicator to be lit forward. In addition, when the front display is turned on, only the front display is turned on again and the same process is repeated. Moreover, in the arrow indicator 56 shaped like an arrow, the arrow indicator 56 facing the direction to be guided may be selected and lit. Such LED indicator 55 etc. are provided in the wall surface of a channel | path, for example. In the example of FIG. 3, a round LED indicator 57 is provided on the wall next to the elevator. The control unit 54 is disposed between the LED indicator 55 and the blinking guidance PC 51 and controls the lighting and extinguishing of the LED indicator 55 and the like according to a command from the blinking guidance PC 51. The blinking guidance PC 51 controls the light emission state of the LED display 55 and the like in response to a request from the overall management PC 71.

  The video information display system 60 also constitutes an evacuation guidance unit, and guides people in the building by the video displayed on the video display unit during evacuation. The video information display system 60 includes a guidance control PC 61, a display device 62, an input device 63, a control unit 64, and an electronic bulletin board 65. The electronic bulletin board 65 corresponds to an image display unit. The electronic bulletin board 65 is constituted by a liquid crystal display device, for example, and displays an arbitrary video. For example, advertisements and various guides are displayed in normal times, and guidance availability is displayed in an emergency. In FIG. 1, as an example of an emergency display, a mark “◯” displayed when guidance is possible and a symbol “X” displayed when guidance is impossible are described. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the electronic bulletin board 65 is provided on the wall surface of the evacuation guideway. In addition, another electronic bulletin board 65 'is arranged in the elevator hall. The electronic bulletin board 65 has a large display screen of about several tens of inches and can display an arbitrary image. The control unit 64 is disposed between the electronic bulletin boards 65 and 65 ′ and the guidance control PC 61, and controls the display of the electronic bulletin boards 65 and 65 ′ in response to a command from the guidance control PC 61. The guidance control PC 61 controls the display of the electronic bulletin boards 65 and 65 ′ in response to a request from the overall management PC 71.

  The evacuation guidance support management system 70 is a central part of control in the evacuation guidance system 1, and has a general management PC 71, a display device 72, and an input device 73. The overall management PC 71 functions as an area selection unit and a command transmission unit. When functioning as an area selection unit, the overall management PC 71 selects a floor on which evacuation guidance is preferentially performed from each floor in the building. In the present embodiment, the overall management PC 71 preferentially evacuates according to the contents of the emergency earthquake warning received by the breaking news receiving PC 11 and the assumed seismic intensity (the magnitude of the earthquake) estimated by the in-building earthquake evaluation system 20. Select the floor to guide. When functioning as a command transmission unit, the overall management PC 71 determines a guidance direction from the video data (video) acquired from the video information monitoring system 30, and sends a guidance command corresponding to the determined guidance direction to the voice information transmission system 40, blinking. The information is transmitted to the guidance system 50 and the video information display system 60. Further, the display device 72 and the input device 73 are used for the operation of the overall management PC 71. In addition to the normal operation, the display device 72 and the input device 73 are also used for inputting obstacle information and the like by visual observation to the overall management PC 71.

  In order to perform the above control, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage unit 71 b of the overall management PC 71 has a partial area of shaking-risk degree information storage area, failure area-guidance direction information storage area, structure information database, planar arrangement It is used as an information database and passage video storage area. Hereinafter, each region will be described.

  The shaking-risk degree information storage area is an area for storing shaking-risk degree information indicating the relationship between shaking caused by an earthquake and the danger level in a building. The degree of risk is an index indicating the degree of building damage. The degree of building damage is determined by various factors. For example, it is affected by seismic intensity, direction of shaking, amplitude, duration, and building structure.

  In this embodiment, the relationship between the magnitude of shaking caused by an earthquake and the degree of damage of each floor in this building is stored as shaking-risk level information. The magnitude of the shaking caused by the earthquake is stored using the contents of the received emergency earthquake bulletin and the seismic intensity at each location measured by the in-building earthquake evaluation system 20 as an index. Further, the degree of damage of each part is calculated from the building structure information stored in the structure information database. Such shaking-risk degree information is used when specifying an area to be preferentially evacuated when an earthquake occurs. This point will be described later.

  The failure area-guidance direction information storage area is an area for storing failure area-guidance direction information indicating a relationship between an area where an evacuation failure has occurred and the guidance direction (evacuation direction). This information is used for specifying the evacuation direction by the voice information transmission system 40, the flashing guidance system 50, or the like during evacuation.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, each floor of a building is divided into a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, and the position on each floor is represented. For this reason, the longitudinal passage is represented by regions B1 to B7, and the lateral passage is represented by regions C4 to E4. The failure occurrence position is also specified by the area. For example, when a failure occurs at the position indicated by the symbol P1, the failure occurrence position P1 is specified as the region B2. Similarly, the failure occurrence position P2 is specified as a region B4, and the failure occurrence position P3 is specified as a region D4.

  The obstacle region-guidance direction information is given as a guidance direction for each room, for example, as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a failure occurs at the position P1 belonging to the area B2, it is preferable that the person in the room RN01 exits the door and proceeds to the left side to escape from the emergency exit EX1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, “left” is stored as the guidance direction corresponding to the region B2 of the room RN01. When a failure occurs at the position P1, it is preferable that the person in the room RN07 exits the door, proceeds to the left side, and escapes from the emergency exit EX2. For this reason, “left” is stored as the guidance direction corresponding to the region B2 of the room RN07. In addition, when a failure occurs at the position P2 belonging to the region B4, it is preferable that the person in the room RN07 exits the door, proceeds to the right side, and escapes from the emergency exit EX1. For this reason, “right” is stored as the guidance direction corresponding to the region B4 of the room RN07.

  Such failure area-guidance direction information is referred to when generating a voice message output from the speaker 46 to each room at the time of evacuation guidance. As described above, it is used as information when outputting a voice message such as “Please exit the door and evacuate to the right” or “Exit the door and evacuate to the left”. When the electronic bulletin board 65 is provided on the side of the passage from each room, an arrow indicating the guidance direction can be displayed on the electronic bulletin board 65 based on the failure area-guidance direction information. Similarly, even when the LED display 55 or the like is attached to each room, the LED display 55 or the like can be made to display the guidance direction based on the failure area / guidance direction information.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the obstacle area / guidance direction information for the other electronic bulletin board 65 ′ is simple map information indicating passages, obstacle areas, and guidance directions. As given. FIG. 6A shows a display image corresponding to the failure occurrence position P1. In this case, the passage is drawn with a straight line, the failure occurrence position is drawn with a cross, and the guidance direction is drawn with an arrow. By checking this map, the person in the building can intuitively understand that it is only necessary to go from the elevator hall to the emergency exits EX2 and EX3. FIG. 6B shows a display video corresponding to the failure occurrence position P3, and FIG. 6C shows a display video corresponding to the failure occurrence position P2. Thus, since the guidance direction according to the position where the failure occurs is shown, appropriate guidance can be performed.

  The plane layout information database stores plane layout information as shown in FIG. 3 for each floor. In this embodiment, in addition to the plane arrangement information, information indicating the installation position and direction of the video camera 35 and the installation position of each display is also stored.

  The passage image storage area is an area for storing a passage image taken by the video camera 35. At normal times, for example, as shown in FIG. 7A, an image of a passage without an obstacle is stored. On the other hand, when an earthquake occurs, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, an image of a passage in which an obstacle has collapsed is stored. The presence or absence of the obstacle BK on the passage can be determined from the difference between the normal image and the earthquake image. The overall management PC 71 determines whether or not the passage can be passed depending on whether or not there is an obstacle BK larger than a predetermined size. Therefore, the information on the presence / absence of the obstacle BK corresponds to the degree of obstacle indicating the degree of difficulty for people to pass. Note that the normal video can also be created from the plane arrangement information stored in the plane arrangement information database.

  Next, the operation of the evacuation guidance system 1 will be described. Here, FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the evacuation guidance system 1.

  In this evacuation guidance system 1, the overall management PC 71 determines whether or not evacuation guidance is necessary based on the reception of the emergency earthquake bulletin and the information from the in-building earthquake evaluation system 20 (preliminary bulletin reception step S1, decision step S2). For this reason, the breaking news receiving PC 11 transmits to the general management PC 71 the fact that the breaking earthquake early warning has been received and the contents of the breaking earthquake early warning. Further, the earthquake evaluation PC 21 transmits analysis-related information such as the estimated seismic intensity estimated to the overall management PC 71, for example, upon request. The above determination is made by the overall management PC 71 by comparing the contents of the emergency earthquake bulletin and the like with the threshold value stored in the storage unit 71b. For example, the predicted seismic intensity acquired from the earthquake early warning or the analysis related information (assumed seismic intensity) from the earthquake evaluation PC 21 is compared with a threshold value. If it is equal to or greater than the threshold, it is determined that evacuation guidance is necessary (Y in S2), and if it is less than the threshold, it is determined that evacuation guidance is unnecessary. If it is determined that it is unnecessary, the operation of the evacuation guidance system 1 is also terminated (N in S2).

  When the general management PC 71 transmits notification information indicating that evacuation guidance is necessary, a fault entity grasping process is performed by the video information monitoring system 30 (S3). In this obstacle entity grasping process, images in a plurality of areas in the building are acquired (image acquisition step). In this embodiment, the overall management PC 71 instructs the camera server 31 to shoot and record with the video camera 35. The video data obtained by shooting is transmitted to the overall management PC 71. The overall management PC 71 analyzes the received video data for each area and grasps the failure status. In this embodiment, for each floor, an obstacle condition such as the presence or absence of an obstacle and the location and size of the obstacle is grasped. Note that the camera server 31 may be made to analyze the video data and grasp the failure status. In this case, information indicating the failure status for each area is transmitted to the overall management PC 71.

  If the obstacle entity for each floor is grasped, various control information generation processing is performed by the evacuation guidance support system (S4). In this control information generation process, a floor to be preferentially evacuated is selected from a plurality of floors in the building from the contents of the emergency earthquake warning and the seismic intensity information for each floor (area selection step). Therefore, the overall management PC 71 requests the seismic intensity information for each floor from the earthquake evaluation PC 21. The seismic intensity information for each floor constitutes the aforementioned analysis-related information, and is acquired by the seismic evaluation PC 21 collecting and analyzing the seismic intensity information from the plurality of seismic intensity measuring devices 25 (earthquake measuring step). Then, the overall management PC 71 specifies the floor on which the evacuation guidance is preferentially performed based on the contents of the earthquake early warning received earlier and the seismic intensity information for each floor. In other words, the priority order for conducting evacuation guidance is determined for each floor.

  This process is performed by the overall management PC 71 referring to the information stored in the shake-risk degree information storage area. In this embodiment, the degree of damage of each floor is used as the degree of risk. For this reason, for example, a floor whose degree of damage is equal to or greater than a predetermined criterion value from the contents of the emergency earthquake warning and the seismic intensity information for each floor. To extract. Then, the extracted floors are sorted in descending order of damage.

  When the floor on which the evacuation guidance is to be performed is specified, the overall management PC 71 generates control information for guidance on the specified floor. The generation of the control information is performed based on the video data from the guidance control PC 61 and information stored in the failure area-guidance direction information storage area. For example, a failure occurrence location is identified by analyzing video data, and guide direction information is selected according to the identified failure occurrence location. Then, the guidance control PC 61 issues a guidance command for each room for the voice information transmission system 40, a guidance command for the blinking guidance system 50, and a guidance command for the video information display system 60 according to the selected guidance direction information. Generate. Thereafter, the guidance control PC 61 transmits the generated guidance command to the target system (command transmission step).

  Each system that receives the guidance command performs guidance control processing (guidance step, S5). In this guidance control process, guidance by voice, light, or the like is performed as described above. That is, the voice information transmission system 40 outputs a voice message from the speaker 46 (S5a), and the blinking guidance system 50 performs blinking display using the LED display 55 or the like (S5b). In the video information display system 60, a guidance video is displayed on the video display unit (S5c). Thereby, the person on the floor can be guided in an appropriate direction.

  Next, the guidance control PC 61 determines whether or not the guidance command has been transmitted to all floors that require the guidance command (S6). If an untransmitted floor remains (Y in S6), the process returns to step S4, and a guidance command is transmitted for the next highest priority floor. On the other hand, if transmission has been completed for all floors (N in S6), the guidance control PC 61 determines whether or not the guidance of the person in the building has been completed (S7). Until the guidance is completed (Y in S7), the processes after the entity grasping process in step S3 are repeated. Thereby, based on the latest information, guidance according to the constantly changing situation can be performed. For example, even if a new obstacle is generated on the passage due to dropping or collapse, appropriate guidance according to the obstacle can be performed.

  As described above, according to the evacuation guidance system 1, the floor is selected according to the contents of the emergency earthquake warning and the magnitude of the earthquake, and the guidance command according to the video of the selected floor is sent to the blinking guidance system 50 or the like. To the evacuation guidance department. Thereby, appropriate guidance according to the image can be preferentially performed for a person who needs guidance in the building. And since guidance control PC61 is calculating | requiring the obstruction degree according to the presence or absence of the obstruction in a channel | path, it can obtain | require an obstruction degree accurately.

  Further, the flashing guidance system 50 and the video information display system 60 as an evacuation guidance unit include an electronic bulletin board 65 that displays an image indicating the guidance direction, an LED display 55 that indicates the guidance direction by light emission, and the like. The guiding direction can be shown, and the guiding direction can be recognized even if the surrounding sound is loud.

  By the way, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the guidance direction is determined according to the presence or absence of an obstacle on the passage, but the guidance direction may be determined in consideration of the degree of congestion of people in the passage. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, congestion occurs in the vicinity P4 of the emergency exit EX3. When congestion is confirmed by the video from the video camera 35 shown in FIG. 9B, the overall management PC 71 transmits a guidance command so as to guide to the emergency exit EX2. Thus, when the guidance command is transmitted in consideration of the degree of congestion of people, guidance can be performed while alleviating the congestion, so that the people in the building can be guided smoothly.

  Various methods can be used to check the congestion based on the video. For example, congestion can be confirmed by the degree of congestion of human images in the image. In this case, since the person is moving to the emergency staircase, the moving direction is constant. For this reason, the degree of congestion can be determined based on the ratio of human images to the entire screen. Further, since the moving direction is constant, the degree of congestion can also be determined based on the moving speed of the person's image and the moving speed of the person passing through the emergency exit.

  The evacuation guidance system 1 in the above-described embodiment has a plurality of subsystems such as the emergency earthquake warning reception system 10 and the in-building earthquake evaluation system 20, but is not limited to this configuration.
