Description

  The present invention relates to an observation control apparatus.

  Conventionally, when a power distribution system accident occurs, an operator may be dispatched by a vehicle to observe the accident situation at the accident site. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for teaching a moving route of a vehicle on which a worker rides to move to an accident site.

JP-A-9-154243

By the way, it is desirable that the time required from the occurrence of an accident until the worker arrives at the accident site is short. However, since the vehicle travels on the ground, it may not be able to quickly reach the destination depending on road conditions such as traffic jams. That is, in order to arrive at the destination quickly, the moving means is preferably a flying object that flies over the sky rather than a vehicle that travels on the ground.
Further, if the moving means is based on manned control that requires a pilot, it is required to always keep the pilot in preparation for an accident. If the pilot is not always on standby, the pilot must be arranged after the accident occurs, and it may take time to prepare for moving the moving means. Accordingly, it is preferable that the moving means is based on autonomous control that does not require a pilot, rather than one that requires a pilot.
In addition, the observation procedure may differ depending on the type of equipment to be observed at the accident site. In this case, work for identifying the observation procedure for grasping the current state of the accident may occur after the accident occurs. In other words, work after an accident may take time, and in this case, it may be difficult to shorten the time required from the occurrence of the accident until the moving means arrives at the destination.
That is, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that it is not possible to shorten the time required from the occurrence of an accident until the moving means arrives at the destination.
