FIG. 8 is a front view showing an unmanned state in which the auxiliary operation panel 12 shown in FIG. 5 is in the boarding / alighting room 23.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sub-operation panel 12 has almost the same configuration as the main operation panel 8, and an operator confirmation camera 15 is installed in addition to the display device 13 and the operation buttons 14.

Since the entrance door 25 has been opened by the warehousing operation, the image display processing unit 3B shown in FIG. 1 using the image data acquired from the warehousing camera 2 in preparation for the next safety confirmation is the current image display processing unit 3B. The image in the boarding / alighting room 23 is projected on the touch screen of the display device 13. Further, the image display processing unit 3B displays the unmanned confirmed operation unit 33 to be touch-operated when the operator actually confirms the safety by looking at the screen of the display device 13.

On the other hand, the person detection unit 5 shown in FIG. 1 performs the person detection process using the current image data acquired from the camera 2 in the refrigerator, but highlights the person because it determines that there is no person. There is no.

In this state, the driver who is still in the parked vehicle 27 actually looks at the screen of the display device 13 to perform the specified safety confirmation, and since there are no people, the unmanned confirmed operation unit 33 on the screen of the display device 13 Touch to notify that the safety confirmation has been completed.

At this time, since the determination result of the person detection unit 5 and the driver's operation match, the operator notification processing unit 18 displays on the screen of the display device 13 prompting the opening operation of the entrance door 25. When the opening operation of the entrance door 25 is completed, the state of the indicator light 22 is switched as shown in FIG. 7, and the goods can be delivered. The driver who visually observes this knows that the required operation from the sub-operation panel 12 has been completed.

FIG. 9 is a front view showing a state in which the auxiliary operation panel shown in FIG. 5 has a person in the boarding / alighting room.

The image display processing unit 3B shown in FIG. 1 using the image data acquired from the camera 2 in the refrigerator displays the image in the current boarding / alighting room 23 on the touch screen of the display device 13. On the other hand, the person detection unit 5 shown in FIG. 1 detects a person using the current image data acquired from the camera 2 in the refrigerator, determines that there is a person, and emphasizes the person part by surrounding it. Display 34 and display 35 such as "people remain" are added for emphasis. In this state, the driver who is still in the parked vehicle 27 knows that there is a person actually looking at the screen of the display device 13, or is urged to wait by the information supplemented by the image display processing unit 3B. It will be waited as it is without performing the next operation.
