The collision recognition unit 11 receives collision detection information transmitted from the vehicle 50 that has collided with the utility pole 100, and recognizes that a collision has occurred between the vehicle 50 and an object (here, the utility pole 100). The collision detection information includes an image of the object captured by the camera 51 mounted on the vehicle 50 and impact detection information by the impact sensor 52 mounted on the vehicle 50 .

The object type recognition unit 12 recognizes the type of the object by recognizing the characteristics of the object from the photographed image of the object. In the example of FIG. 1, a utility pole or a postbox is recognized as the type of object. The collision intensity recognition unit 13 recognizes the impact intensity of the utility pole 100 from the impact detection information from the impact sensor 52 and the photographed image of the object.

The intensity determination level setting unit 14 sets a collision intensity determination level for determining whether or not to transmit collision occurrence information, which will be described later, according to the type of object. The photographing condition setting unit 15 sets photographing conditions according to the type of object and the collision intensity according to the selection table shown in FIG. For example, when the object type is a utility pole and the collision intensity is low, the imaging condition setting unit 15 sets the imaging condition to "whole".

Here, the "proximity" of the imaging condition in FIG. It is set that the distance between the object and the camera is equal to or less than the judgment distance.

An execution procedure of the accident handling process executed by the accident handling system 1 when the collision shown in FIG. 1 occurs will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the vehicle 50 hits the utility pole 100, the collision of the vehicle 50 with the object is detected from the detection information of the impact sensor 52 in step S10 of FIG. , the process proceeds to step S11. Then, in step S11, the vehicle 50 transmits to the accident response system 1 collision detection information including an image of the object captured by the camera 51, detection information from the impact sensor 52, information on the current position of the vehicle 50, and the like.

In the accident response system 1, in step S1 of FIG. 2, when the collision recognition unit 11 receives collision detection information from the vehicle 50 and recognizes the occurrence of a collision, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the object type recognition unit 12 analyzes the image of the object included in the collision detection information and recognizes the type of the object. In the example of FIG. 1 , “telephone pole” is recognized as the type of the utility pole 100 that is the object with which the vehicle 50 has collided. In the following step S3, the collision intensity recognition unit 13 sets the impact intensity in two stages, large and small, according to the captured image of the object and the detection information of the impact sensor included in the collision detection information.

In subsequent step S4, the strength determination level setting unit 14 sets the impact strength determination level according to the type of the object. For example, the strength determination level setting unit 14 sets a high determination level for an object with high resistance to collision (electric pole, etc.), and sets a low determination level for an object with low resistance to collision (mailbox, etc.). .

In the next step S5, the collision occurrence information transmission unit 18 determines whether or not the collision intensity is equal to or higher than the determination level. Then, the collision occurrence information transmitting unit 18 advances the process to step S6 when the collision intensity is equal to or higher than the judgment level, and advances the process to step S1 when the collision intensity is smaller than the judgment level.

In step S6, the photographing condition setting unit 15 sets the photographing conditions of the object according to the selection table shown in FIG. 3 according to the type of the object and the collision intensity. In subsequent step S7, the photographing request unit 16 transmits photographing request information for requesting photographing of the object to communication terminals existing around the object. In the example of FIG. 1 , the photographing condition setting unit 15 transmits photographing request information to the other vehicle 60 , the mobile terminal 71 possessed by the pedestrian 70 , and the surveillance cameras 101 and 111 .

The other vehicle 60, the pedestrian 70 carrying the mobile terminal 71, and the surveillance cameras 101 and 111 that have received the photographing request information photograph the utility pole 100 according to the photographing conditions included in the photographing request information, and the photographed images are sent to the accident response system 1. Send to The photographing request unit 16 receives photographed images of the utility pole 100 transmitted from the other vehicle 60 , the mobile terminal 71 , and the monitoring cameras 101 and 111 .

In subsequent step S8, the contact selector 17 selects a contact according to the selection table shown in FIG. 3, based on the type of object and the collision intensity. In the example of FIG. 1, the type of object that has collided is a utility pole, so the contact selection unit 17 selects a power company. Further, the contact selection unit 17 further selects a management company when the collision intensity is low, and selects a repair company when the collision intensity is high, according to the collision intensity.

In the next step S<b>9 , the collision occurrence information transmission unit 18 transmits the collision occurrence information to the destination selected by the contact selection unit 17 . For example, when an electric power company and a management company are selected by the contact selection unit 17 , the collision occurrence information transmission unit 18 transmits the collision occurrence information to the electric power company server 212 and the management company server 211 .

The collision occurrence information includes information such as the location where the object is installed, the photographed image of the object, and the collision intensity. In the example of FIG. 1 , the collision occurrence information transmitting unit 18 transmits collision occurrence information including the location where the utility pole 100 is installed, the photographed image of the utility pole 100, the collision intensity between the utility pole 100 and the vehicle 50, and the like.
