  The present invention relates to a technique for controlling the open / closed state of tide doors such as sluices and land anchors installed at a coast or a port in order to reduce damage such as tsunami and storm surge.

  In order to reduce damages such as tsunami and storm surges, tide doors such as sluices and landlocks (hereinafter also referred to as sluices) are installed on the coasts and harbors. The main operation of sluice gates, etc., was the machine-side operation that the operator moved to the site when a tsunami warning was issued, but prompt closure operations and ensuring the safety of the operators were issues. It was. In order to solve this problem, a tsunami disaster prevention station that realizes centralized monitoring and remote control such as a sluice installed in a region has been constructed and operated (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). Hereinafter, a system that centrally manages a plurality of sluice gates from the tsunami disaster prevention station is referred to as a tsunami disaster prevention system.

  In the tsunami disaster prevention system, as shown in FIG. 1, a tide door control device 9 that controls the tide door 2 such as a sluice is connected to the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 via a communication network 6. The tide door control device 9 is installed in the vicinity of the tide door 2. Although only one tide door control device 9 and one tide door 2 are shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of tide door control devices 9 and a plurality of tide doors 2 are connected to the tsunami disaster prevention station 3. May be.

  The communication network 6 is generally composed of a plurality of communication paths in consideration of fault tolerance. For example, the communication network 6-1 configured by an optical line is used as a main communication path, and the communication network 6-2 by wireless communication is prepared as a backup communication path.

  The tsunami disaster prevention station 3 is provided with a tsunami warning receiver 4 and a remote controller 5. Only one of the tsunami warning receiver 4 or the remote controller 5 may be installed. The tsunami warning receiving device 4 receives tsunami information and tsunami warning in real time from, for example, a meteorological satellite and outputs them to a display unit such as a monitor. The remote control device 5 communicates with the tide door control device 9 via the communication network 6 and remotely monitors and controls the tide door 2.

  However, in the conventional tsunami disaster prevention system, the closing signal is transmitted only when the closing operation of the tide door is necessary. Therefore, when a failure occurs in the transmission mechanism or transmission means of the closing signal due to an earthquake or the like, the closing signal is transmitted to the tide door. There is a case where the control device cannot be reached and the closing operation is not performed. In this case, a tsunami or the like may enter the land and cause serious damage.

  In view of the above-described points, an object of the present invention is to provide a tide door control technique capable of closing a tide door such as a sluice gate even when communication with a tsunami disaster prevention station is not possible. .

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a tide door control device of the present invention is a tide door control device that controls the open / close state of a tide door according to a control signal transmitted from a tsunami disaster prevention station. A failure detection unit that detects a failure when a reset signal is not received at the timing, and a tide door closing unit that closes the tide door when the failure detection unit detects a failure are included.

  According to the tide door control technology of the present invention, when a fault is detected in communication with the tsunami disaster prevention station, the tide door is closed autonomously, so a fault occurs due to an earthquake or the like and communication with the tsunami disaster prevention station is not possible Even if it becomes, it becomes possible to close tide doors, such as a sluice. Thereby, damages, such as a tsunami, can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected to the component which has the same function in drawing, and duplication description is abbreviate | omitted.

<First embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the tsunami disaster prevention system according to the first embodiment includes a tide door 2 such as a sluice gate, a tide door control device 1 installed near the tide door 2, a tide door control device 1, and a communication network 6. Tsunami disaster prevention station 3 connected via The tide door control device 1 is remotely managed by the tsunami disaster prevention station 3, and performs operations such as opening and closing the tide door 2 according to the instructions. Although only one tide door control device 1 and one tide door 2 are shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of tide door control devices 1 and a plurality of tide doors 2 are connected to a tsunami disaster prevention station 3. May be.

  In the tsunami disaster prevention station 3, a tsunami warning receiving device 4 and a remote control device 5 are installed. Only one of the tsunami warning receiving device 4 or the remote control device 5 may be installed. Below, the case where both the tsunami warning receiver 4 and the remote control apparatus 5 are installed is demonstrated as an example. The tsunami warning receiver 4 receives tsunami information and tsunami warnings from a communication satellite or the like in real time, and outputs the information to a display unit such as a monitor installed in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3. The remote control device 5 communicates with the tide door control device 1 via the communication network 6 and remotely monitors and controls the tide door 2.

  The communication network 6 is a circuit-switching or packet-switching communication network configured such that the tide door control device 1 and each device in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 can communicate with each other. It is desirable to make the communication network 6 redundant in consideration of fault tolerance. For example, the communication network 6-1 configured by an optical line may be used as a main communication path, and the communication network 6-2 by wireless communication may be prepared as a backup communication path.

  The tide door control apparatus 1 of 1st embodiment is provided with the control part 11, the memory | storage part 12, the communication part 13, the failure detection part 14, and the tide door closing part 15 as shown in FIG. The control unit 11 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). The storage unit 12 is, for example, a main storage device (RAM: Random Access Memory). The communication unit 13 is, for example, a wired or wireless network interface card (NIC). The tide door control device 1 according to the first embodiment is realized by the tide door control device 1 performing processing of each step described later.

  The tide door control device 1 is configured, for example, by loading a special program into a known or dedicated computer having a central processing unit (CPU), a main storage device (RAM), and the like. It is a special device. The tide door control device 1 executes each process under the control of the control unit 11, for example. The data input to the tide door control device 1 and the data obtained in each process are stored in the storage unit 12, for example, and the data stored in the storage unit 12 is read out as needed for other processing. Used. Moreover, at least a part of each processing unit of the tide door control device 1 may be configured by hardware such as an integrated circuit.

  With reference to FIG. 4, the processing procedure of the tide door control method which the tide door control apparatus 1 of 1st embodiment performs is demonstrated.

  In step S <b> 13, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 1 starts an internal timer. The interval measured by the timer is set in advance, for example, set to 1 minute. The interval may be determined in consideration of, for example, the bandwidth of the communication network 6, the charging system, communication quality, and the like. For example, when the communication network 6 is pay-per-use, the interval is set to be long in order to reduce the operation cost, and when it is a fixed amount charge, it is not necessary to consider the operation cost, so the interval may be set short. In addition, for example, when the bandwidth of the communication network 6 is narrow and delay is likely to occur due to other communication, a long interval is set in order to avoid erroneous detection of the failure, and when there is sufficient bandwidth, What is necessary is just to set a short interval.

  In step S <b> 42, the tsunami warning receiving device 4 transmits a reset signal for resetting a timer included in the failure detection unit 14 to the tide door control device 1. The reset signal is periodically transmitted at a predetermined time interval. The interval for transmitting the reset signal is determined in consideration of the interval of the timer included in the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 1. For example, if the timer interval is 1 minute, the reset signal is transmitted at 30-second intervals in consideration of transmission delay and the like.

  In step S <b> 52, the remote control device 5 transmits a reset signal to the tide door control device 1. The reset signal is periodically transmitted at a predetermined time interval. What is necessary is just to determine the space | interval which transmits a reset signal similarly to the tsunami warning receiver 4. FIG. The time intervals at which the tsunami warning receiving device 4 and the remote control device 5 transmit the reset signal do not need to match and may be different.

  In step S40, it is assumed that there is a high possibility that an earthquake will occur and a tsunami will occur. In step S41, the tsunami warning receiver 4 receives a tsunami warning from, for example, a communication satellite. The tsunami warning receiver 4 outputs tsunami warning information to a display unit such as a monitor installed in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3. At the same time, the tsunami warning receiving device 4 transmits tsunami warning information to the remote control device 5. In step S51, the remote control device 5 transmits a closing signal to the tide door control device 1 automatically or by manual operation of the operator.

  In step S14, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 1 determines whether or not a closing signal has been received. When the closing signal is received, the process proceeds to step S12 and the closing operation of the tide door 2 is performed. If the closing signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 1 determines whether or not a reset signal has been received. If a reset signal is received from either the tsunami warning receiver 4 or the remote controller 5, the process proceeds to step S16 to reset the timer, returns to step S13, and starts the timer again. When the reset signal is not received from any of the tsunami warning receiving device 4 and the remote control device 5, the timer waits for reception of the reset signal until the timer measures a predetermined interval and times out. If the timer expires as it is, it is determined that a failure has occurred in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6, and the process proceeds to step S12 to perform the closing operation of the tide door 2.

  By configuring as described above, in the tsunami disaster prevention system according to the first embodiment, a timer is periodically set by a reset signal received from the tsunami warning receiving device 4 or the remote control device 5 during normal times when no earthquake or failure has occurred. Therefore, the tide door 2 is opened. When an earthquake occurs and a tsunami warning is issued, a closing signal is transmitted from the remote control device 5, so the tide door 2 is closed. If a fault occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 when an earthquake occurs, the reset signal transmitted periodically cannot be received, so the timer times out and the tide door 2 is closed. That is, conventionally, when a failure occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6, the closing signal does not reach the tide door control device 1, the tide door 2 remains open, and a tsunami is generated from the tide door 2 to the land side. There was a risk of intrusion and damage, but with the tsunami disaster prevention system of the first embodiment, the tide door control device 1 autonomously prevents the tide door even if a fault occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6. Since 2 is closed, it becomes possible to prevent the invasion of a tsunami.

<Second embodiment>
In the tsunami disaster prevention system of the first embodiment, since the timer of the fault detection unit 14 is always operating, the tide door 2 is closed even when a fault occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 due to a cause other than an earthquake. There was a possibility. In the second embodiment, the tide door 2 is configured not to be closed even if a failure occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 if there is no earthquake.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the tide door control device 7 of the second embodiment includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, a failure detection unit 14, and a tide door closing unit 15 as in the first embodiment. And an earthquake detection unit 16 and a normality confirmation unit 17. The tide door control device 7 of the second embodiment is realized by the tide door control device 7 performing the processing of each step described later.

  With reference to FIGS. 6-7, the processing procedure of the tide door control method which the tide door control apparatus 7 of 2nd embodiment performs is demonstrated. A to B in FIG. 6 indicate that the processing proceeds to A to B in FIG. 7. C to D in FIG. 6 indicate that the process returns from C to D in FIG. 7. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with the above-mentioned 1st embodiment.

  In step S17, the normality confirmation unit 17 of the tide door control device 7 is abnormal when the earthquake detection unit 16 detects the occurrence of an earthquake or when it detects that the earthquake detection unit 16 is not operating normally. Detect as. The earthquake detection unit 16 includes various sensors and detects the occurrence of an earthquake. The earthquake detection unit 16 includes, for example, a vibration sensor that measures earthquake motion, a water level sensor that measures changes in sea level, and the like.

  In step S <b> 53, the remote control device 5 transmits a forced timer start signal for instructing the tide door control device 1 to forcibly start the timer of the failure detection unit 14 by manual operation of the operator. .

  In step S14, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 7 determines whether or not a closing signal has been received. When the closing signal is received, the process proceeds to step S12 and the closing operation of the tide door 2 is performed. If the closing signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S18.

  In step S18, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 7 determines whether or not a forced timer start signal has been received. When the forced timer start signal is received, the process proceeds to step S13 and the timer of the failure detection unit 14 is started. If the forced timer start signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S19, the normality confirmation unit 17 of the tide door control device 7 returns to step S17 at a predetermined interval and returns again when no abnormality is detected in step S17 (that is, normality is confirmed). Check for normality. If an abnormality is detected in step S17 (that is, normality has not been confirmed), the process proceeds to step S13 and the timer of the failure detection unit 14 is started.

  In step S54, the remote control device 5 transmits a forced timer release signal for instructing the tide door control device 1 to forcibly release the timer of the failure detection unit 14 by manual operation of the operator. .

  In step S20, the failure detection unit 14 of the tide door control device 7 determines whether or not a forced timer release signal has been received. When the forced timer release signal is received, the process proceeds to step S21 to release the timer of the failure detection unit 14. If the forced timer release signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S14. Subsequent processing is the same as in the first embodiment.

  By configuring as described above, in the tsunami disaster prevention system according to the second embodiment, a fault occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 unless an earthquake occurs or the tide door control device 7 itself fails. Even if it does, the tide door 2 is not closed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid closing the tide door 2 when a failure occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 due to a cause other than an earthquake.

<Third embodiment>
In the tsunami disaster prevention system of the first embodiment, since the reset signal is periodically transmitted from the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 side, the tide door control device 1 needs to be in a state where the reset signal can always be received. In 3rd embodiment, it comprises so that the timing which can receive a reset signal can be controlled by requesting a reset signal from the tide door control apparatus 1 side.

  The tide door control device 1 ′ of the third embodiment differs from the tide door control device 1 of the first embodiment in the processing of the failure detection unit. Hereinafter, the failure detection unit of the third embodiment will be described as the failure detection unit 14 '.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the processing procedure of the tide door control method which the tide door control apparatus 1 'of 3rd embodiment performs is demonstrated. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with the above-mentioned 1st embodiment.

  In step S <b> 22, the failure detection unit 14 ′ of the tide door control device 1 ′ transmits a request signal for requesting a reset signal to the tsunami warning receiver 4 and the remote control device 5. The request signal is periodically transmitted at a predetermined time interval. Similar to the timer interval in the first embodiment, the interval for transmitting the request signal may be determined in consideration of the bandwidth of the communication network 6, the charging system, the communication quality, and the like.

  In step S43, the tsunami warning receiving device 4 receives the request signal transmitted by the tide door control device 1 '. In step S42, the tsunami warning receiving device 4 transmits a reset signal to the tide door control device 1 'as a reply to the request signal. If a failure has occurred in the communication network 6 or the tsunami warning receiving device 4, the tsunami warning receiving device 4 cannot receive the request signal, so that no reset signal is transmitted, and the failure detecting unit 14 'Can detect that a failure has occurred in the communication network 6 or the tsunami warning receiver 4. Moreover, the tsunami warning receiver 4 can also detect that a failure has occurred in the tide door control device 1 ′ when the request signal from the tide door control device 1 ′ has not been received for a certain period of time. .

  In step S55, the remote control device 5 receives the request signal transmitted by the tide door control device 1 '. In step S52, the remote control device 5 transmits a reset signal to the tide door control device 1 'as a reply to the request signal. If a failure has occurred in the communication network 6 or the remote control device 5, the remote control device 5 cannot receive the request signal, so that no reset signal is transmitted, and the failure detection unit 14 ' It is possible to detect that a failure has occurred in the communication network 6 or the remote control device 5. Further, the remote control device 5 can also detect that a failure has occurred in the tide door control device 1 ′ when the request signal from the tide door control device 1 ′ has not been received for a certain period of time.

  By configuring as described above, in the tsunami disaster prevention system of the third embodiment, the tide door control device 1 ′ does not necessarily have to be able to receive a reset signal at all times, and during a predetermined time after transmitting a request signal. It is only necessary to receive the reset signal. Thereby, the resource of the tide door control apparatus 1 'can be reduced as a whole.

<Fourth embodiment>
In the tsunami disaster prevention system of the third embodiment, since the failure detection unit 14 ′ repeatedly transmits a request signal unconditionally, the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 and the communication network 6 may fail due to a cause other than an earthquake, as in the first embodiment. There is a possibility that the tide door 2 is closed even when the storm occurs. In the fourth embodiment, if the configuration of the second embodiment is incorporated with respect to the configuration of the third embodiment and no earthquake has occurred, a fault has occurred in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6. Also, the tide door 2 is configured not to be closed.

  The tide door control device 7 ′ of the fourth embodiment is configured such that the failure detection unit 14 is a failure detection unit 14 ′ of the third embodiment, compared to the tide door control device 7 of the second embodiment.

  With reference to FIGS. 9-10, the procedure of the tide door control method which the tide door control apparatus 7 'of 4th embodiment performs is demonstrated. E to H in FIG. 9 indicate that the process proceeds to E to H in FIG. 10. 9 represents that the process returns from I to J in FIG. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with the above-mentioned 3rd embodiment.

  In step S17, the normality confirmation unit 17 of the tide door control device 7 ′ detects when the earthquake detection unit 16 detects the occurrence of an earthquake or detects that the earthquake detection unit 16 is not operating normally. Detect as abnormal.

  In step S56, the remote control device 5 transmits a forced request signal start signal for instructing the tide door control device 1 to start transmitting a request signal by an operator's manual operation.

  In step S14, the failure detection unit 14 'of the tide door control device 7' determines whether or not a closing signal has been received. When the closing signal is received, the process proceeds to step S12 and the closing operation of the tide door 2 is performed. If the closing signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, the failure detection unit 14 'of the tide door control device 7' determines whether or not a forced request signal start signal has been received. When the forcible request signal start signal is received, the process proceeds to step S22, and the request signal is transmitted to the tsunami warning receiving device 4 and the remote control device 5. If the forcible request signal start signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S57, the remote control device 5 transmits a forced request signal stop signal for instructing the tide door control device 7 'to stop transmitting the request signal by manual operation of the operator.

  In step S24, the failure detection unit 14 'of the tide door control device 7' determines whether or not a forced request signal stop signal has been received. When the forcible request signal stop signal is received, the process proceeds to step S17, and normality is confirmed again at regular intervals. If the forcible request signal stop signal has not been received, the process proceeds to step S14. The subsequent processing is the same as in the third embodiment.

  By configuring as described above, in the tsunami disaster prevention system according to the fourth embodiment, the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 has a failure unless an earthquake occurs or the tide door control device 7 ′ itself has a failure. Even if it occurs, the tide door 2 is not closed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid closing the tide door 2 when a failure occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6 due to a cause other than an earthquake.

<Fifth embodiment>
In conventional tsunami disaster prevention systems, sluice gates, etc. are equipped with rotating lights, speakers, electric bulletin boards, etc., and when closed, warnings are issued in advance by alerting the surroundings, approaching and progressing to closed sluice gates, etc. Is preventing. However, it is not effective for drifting objects such as driftwood, animals, ships, vehicles, pedestrians, etc. (hereinafter also referred to as ships etc.) entering without ignoring the pre-warning. There is a fear. Moreover, although pinching detection by a pressure sensor or the like is also used, when an object stops in the middle of a water gate or the like, it is physically difficult to close.

  During the closing operation of the sluice gate, the operator of the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 can check the status of the sluice gate etc. on the monitor etc., so it is possible to urgently stop the closing operation if a ship enters during the closing operation It is. However, if a fault occurs in the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 or the communication network 6, the operator of the tsunami disaster prevention station 3 is evacuated and unmanned, or it is impossible to monitor the situation such as a sluice gate. It is assumed that Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, a configuration for preventing intrusion of a ship or the like is introduced when a closing operation such as a sluice is performed.

Thereby, it can be prevented psychologically and physically that a ship or the like ignores the warning and forcibly enters the closed tide door 2 to be caught or collided. In addition, even if a ship or the like tries to break through the auxiliary gate, the sluice or the like is protected by the auxiliary gate, so that a situation where the ship or the like stops in the sluice can be avoided and the sluice or the like can be closed. Becomes higher. Further, by forming the auxiliary gate with a soft material such as a net or a rope, it is possible to reduce damage when the auxiliary gate is caught or collided.

  By configuring as in the above embodiment, according to the tide door control technology of the present invention, the tide door is autonomously closed when a failure is detected in communication with the tsunami disaster prevention station. Even if it occurs and communication with the tsunami disaster prevention station becomes impossible, it becomes possible to close the tide doors such as sluice gates. Thereby, damage caused by a tsunami or the like can be reduced.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there is a design change or the like as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention, Needless to say, it is included in this invention. The various processes described in the embodiments are not only executed in time series according to the description order, but may also be executed in parallel or individually as required by the processing capability of the apparatus that executes the processes.

[Program, recording medium]
