Description

  The present invention communicates observation data based on at least one of wind speed and wind direction from observation devices installed at multiple observation points via a communication line, and calculates weather information for each observation point by a server, The present invention relates to a weather information notification system that notifies a target person at an observation point as necessary.

  The provision of weather information to various people, starting with so-called weather forecasts, has been performed since the past. This is because weather information is important information in general life and various work, and many people consider correspondence in life and work by weather information. Weather forecasts may give not only clear and rainy forecasts, but also warnings such as heavy rain, gusts, and waves. For example, workers working on construction sites and workers working outdoors can be used. It is important information for outside salespeople, fishermen, farmers, porters, airports, etc.

  This is because, for workers engaged in such outdoor work, weather conditions such as heavy rain, gusts, waves, and snow lead to hindrance and danger. Obtaining such weather information in advance is useful for work planning and emergency response. In some cases, it is possible to consider stopping or interrupting the work.

  For example, the worker (and the group) who receives heavy rain and heavy snow information in the weather forecast may stop the planned outdoor work or business in advance. Alternatively, fishermen who have received warnings from gusts and waves in the weather forecast may cancel fishing. Alternatively, the worker who has received information such as snow can make a schedule to suspend the work halfway from the time when the snow starts.

  In this way, weather information based on weather forecasts is natural for many people in general life, but for outdoor workers, it is possible to take measures such as assembling and changing work schedules and dealing with danger avoidance. It is extremely important in that it can be done. Workers who work outdoors always check weather information.

  However, the current weather forecast is forecasted by the weather forecaster based on the ability and know-how based on the photos of meteorological satellites, atmospheric pressure arrangement, past data, and the like. For this reason, the current weather forecast has two major problems.

(Problem 1)
One is that weather forecasts are intended for a large number of general public, so forecasts in a wide area are almost always issued. For example, as is found in weather forecasts on television and the Internet, the unit of prefecture and the unit obtained by dividing the prefecture into several regions are often forecast units in the weather forecast. Recently, there are cases where a weather forecast is issued in units of municipalities, but this may also be a partial forecast of forecasts that are forecasted in units of prefectures. It is often difficult to say that the weather forecast is analyzed and analyzed in units of towns and villages.

(Problem 2)
As mentioned above, the weather forecasts that are guided on the current television and the Internet are based on data such as photos of weather satellites and barometric pressure information that can be obtained from the Japan Meteorological Agency, for example, by the weather forecast department in the broadcasting station or newspaper company, The weather is predicted. In addition to past data (atmospheric information and actual weather results predicted from the same atmospheric date and the atmospheric pressure and cloud layout that can be seen from the same weather satellite photograph), the weather forecast department will finally Predicts the weather.

  The meteorological satellite observes the entire earth in a macro manner, and the atmospheric pressure arrangement and the cloud arrangement are also macro observation results. For this reason, the current weather forecast can only perform a macro forecast in a wide area. In particular, predictions obtained from macro information in a wide area are simply divided into units such as municipalities, and are therefore applied to actual municipalities and subdivided regional units. There is a problem that is not based on meteorological observation.

  That is, as the problem 2, there is a case where the current weather forecast is obtained by dividing the prediction of the wide area macro in a state that is not based on the actual observation in the area classified as the forecast target.

  On the other hand, in recent years, there have been problems of damage such as so-called guerrilla heavy rainfall in a large amount of local and short-time rainfall, and similar short-term local heavy snowfall called guerrilla heavy snow. Furthermore, local gusts and strong winds in a short time are also generated. Alternatively, problems such as rapid weather changes such as rapid rain and thunderstorms from fine weather have occurred. In some cases, special weather situations such as tornadoes that cannot be covered by wide-area forecasts may occur.

  These are said to be due to global warming or due to urban-type special conditions covered with concrete, but the cause and generation mechanism are still unknown. For this reason, the local special weather and the sudden change of the weather situation cannot be predicted by the conventional weather forecast based on the wide area photograph by the meteorological satellite and the atmospheric pressure arrangement in the wide area. In particular, predictions are often inadequate even in consideration of data on actual weather and weather conditions in the same area in the past. This is because there may be completely different weather conditions between last year and this year, although the same day, the same area, and the same pressure distribution.

  However, the above-mentioned local special weather and rapid weather changes in a short time are very important information for workers working outdoors. Local heavy rains and heavy snows have the problem of creating risks in outdoor work. A gust of wind or suddenly strong winds can cause dangers for fishermen and porters. Conventional regional forecasts such as local, short-term, or sudden changes, or segmented forecasts based on such forecasts, cannot predict these local weather information and sudden changes in weather. . However, in recent years, such local weather information and sudden weather information have become important information for outdoor workers as well as work plans as well as prior measures for danger. Yes.

  In addition, current weather forecasts are provided to an unspecified number of people through mass communication such as television, radio, and the Internet. On the other hand, various weather information (including the above-mentioned local weather information and special weather information such as weather changes in a short time) is also required to be provided individually to specific subjects such as outdoor workers. It has been.

  In providing information to an unspecified number of people, it is difficult for a specific target person to provide real-time weather information at a timing that is necessary. Specific target persons such as outdoor workers who need to grasp weather information irregularly and sequentially in order to schedule work and avoid dangers immediately receive local weather information predicted in real time at the necessary timing. Need to get to. In the conventional weather forecast, there is a problem that such a response is difficult.

  In such a situation, several technical proposals have been made (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4).

JP 2004-363725 A JP 2014-149231 A JP 2006-108771 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-21687

  In Patent Document 1, weather data measured by a weather measurement device (precipitation meter 12) attached to a satellite broadcast receiving antenna 11 of a reception / measurement device 10 is sent to a satellite broadcast compatible tuner 20 and a telephone line 40 Is transmitted to the weather information providing broadcast station 50. A weather information collection and distribution system is disclosed in which weather data is processed by the weather information providing broadcast station 50 and is transmitted to broadcast video waves and distributed to the video equipment 30 via the satellite broadcast ground station 60 and the artificial satellite 70.

  Patent Document 1 discloses that weather information is sent to the home as a satellite broadcast by a data processing function of a meteorological information broadcasting station that performs a precipitation measurement result and a weather forecast at a home where a receiving antenna capable of receiving a satellite broadcast is installed. To deliver. That is, the object is to provide individual household weather information that can be forecasted based on the actual precipitation amount in a household equipped with a satellite broadcast receiving antenna.

  However, there is a limit to the weather information that can be predicted by precipitation alone. Local heavy rains, heavy snowfalls, gusts, strong winds, waves, etc. are difficult to predict. For this reason, the weather information that can be provided to each household unit is about the current precipitation amount and weather (since it can be judged sunny, cloudy, or rain based on the precipitation amount). In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to provide weather information necessary for a specific target person such as an outdoor worker described in the related art.

  In addition, collected data is concentrated only in residential areas based solely on the amount of precipitation in each household. Participants who need weather information such as localized torrential rains, heavy snowfalls, gusts, strong winds, and waves for work planning and risk avoidance are those engaged in outdoor work. These specific subjects often work in areas far from residential areas, such as oceans, harbors, urban areas, forests, and factory areas. For this reason, the weather information provided by the technique of Patent Document 1 also has a problem that the regional correspondence does not match.

  In addition, since Patent Document 1 is a distribution of weather information based on precipitation in an actual home or the like, for a household where a device for measuring precipitation is installed, the precipitation state is actually observed immediately before Therefore, the weather information distributed is not highly effective. This leads to difficulty in providing necessary weather information for a specific target person who performs outdoor work, etc., together with other reasons.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a residential area 1, a green area 2 that faces the main wind direction in summer in the residential area 1, and a plurality of streets 3 that are arranged in the residential area 1 so as to extend radially from the green area 2. To 9 and a plurality of blocks 11 to 15 arranged adjacent to the streets 3 to 9 and a plurality of buildings A to E are installed in the green space 2 And a weather observation device 22 that performs weather observation in the area where the residential area 1 is formed, and information terminals 23, 24, and 25 that are owned by the user and are connected to the weather observation device 22 via a communication network. An information distribution system is disclosed.

  Patent document 2 aims at providing the weather information corresponding to the area of a residential area based on the weather observation apparatus installed in a residential area. Compared to the conventional general weather forecast, the residential area is divided into areas of a certain range, and then the weather forecast is divided into areas using the weather observation device installed for each area. There is an advantage in that it can correspond to the designated area.

  However, Patent Document 2 also has a problem that only a residential area can be a target for weather prediction, as in Patent Document 1. There is a problem that local weather information in an area required by a specific target person such as an outdoor worker cannot be provided.

  In addition, since the weather observation device is not a unit of area, but a unit of residential area that combines them, after all, the prediction of weather in the unit of area is simply a division of predictions in units of residential areas that are larger than that. Only. As a result, local weather forecasts cannot be provided.

  In addition, since the information organized by the weather observation device is converted into weather information and provided, analysis work is required in the weather observation device, and the weather observation device installed in a residential area is expensive. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to install a weather observation device in each of the divided areas.

  In addition, because the installed weather observation device analyzes up to the weather forecast, for example, if the calculation method for weather prediction must be changed, the change work must be performed in each installed weather observation device. Necessary. When the calculation is executed by hardware, it is necessary to change the hardware completely, and the same applies to software. For this reason, the cost required for changing the calculation method and dealing with a failure also increases.

  Due to the high installation cost and maintenance cost, the number of meteorological observation devices that can be installed in a certain range is relatively small, making it difficult to observe the weather corresponding to each divided area. It is also difficult to provide weather information corresponding to each.

  Naturally, this cannot cope with weather information required by a specific target person such as an outdoor worker.

  In Patent Document 3, the management server 3 obtains weather information of an area where the base stations 1a and 1b are installed from at least one base station 1a and 1b via the network 100, and notifies the portable terminal 2 via wireless communication A weather information notification system that performs forecasting of weather determined based on user notification conditions from weather forecast information of a predetermined target area acquired from the outside, and target area weather information acquired from the base station 1a. Disclosed is a weather information system that compares the actual weather content shown and notifies that if the weather forecast does not match the actual weather content.

  Patent Document 3 has the same problem as Patent Documents 1 and 2.

  Patent document 4 acquires the 1st weather information extent of a 20km mesh area from the Meteorological Agency. The second weather information is obtained from the dual polarization Doppler radar. The first weather information is corrected in consideration of the second weather information. The 20 km mesh area is divided into several km mesh areas. Disclosed is a narrow-area weather forecasting method for forecasting the weather of a target cell divided into several Km meshes in consideration of the weather (weather) information and regional characteristics of each cell located around the cell. To do.

  Patent Document 4 predicts meteorological information divided into several kilometer units by obtaining second meteorological information from radar for observation information of the Japan Meteorological Agency that can only deal with a wide area. It aims to provide weather information.

  However, Patent Document 4 only predicts weather divided into several kilometers after correcting wide-area observation information with second weather information from a radar. That is, the weather information of each area is not predicted based on the weather elements actually observed in the individual areas divided into about several kilometers. For this reason, there is a problem that the accuracy and accuracy of weather information provided in each area is inferior. This inferior accuracy naturally makes it difficult to provide detailed weather information to a specific target person such as an outdoor worker. Of course, the dual-polarization Doppler radar is expensive, and it has the same problem as Patent Documents 2 and 3 for installing many of them.

  As described above, the prior art has the following problems in providing weather information corresponding to the work area in which work is performed to a specific target person such as an outdoor worker.

  (Problem 1) There is a limit to the content of weather information that can be predicted. For example, it is limited to precipitation and so-called weather information, and weather information such as localized torrential rain, concentrated snowfall, gusts, strong winds, and waves cannot be predicted.

  (Problem 2) Based on Problem 1, the work schedule required by the specific target person and the weather information necessary for danger avoidance cannot be sufficiently provided.

  (Problem 3) It is difficult to predict weather based on actual observation data for each narrow work area required for a specific target person. In particular, the installation cost and maintenance cost of an observation apparatus that needs to be installed for each work area are high, and the observation apparatus cannot be installed in many of the required work areas.

  (Problem 4) Based on Problem 3, it is difficult to predict and provide highly accurate weather information corresponding to each narrow area.

  (Problem 5) The installed observation device analyzes the weather prediction (all or part of it) and transmits the analysis result to a distribution accumulation device such as a server. For this reason, the observation apparatus is equipped with hardware and software for performing arithmetic processing for analysis. However, there is a case where the calculation formula needs to be changed in accordance with a wide range of weather changes or changes in the equipment used. In such a case, it is necessary to completely replace the hardware and software of the observation apparatus, which is expensive. This leads to the fact that many observation devices cannot be installed at multiple points.

  (Problem 6) In relation to Problem 5, even if there is a failure or error in the observation apparatus, the server cannot grasp it, and there is a possibility that the weather forecast will be delivered in the wrong state.

  In particular, for problems 3 and 4 and so on, if observation information is installed in each narrower area and observation information is measured, and weather information is predicted, it is natural to cope with local weather changes and dangers. Avoidance is possible. In Japan's weather forecasts, the accuracy of temporal forecasts such as mid- to long-term has increased, but the accuracy and level of weather forecasts corresponding to small areas by dividing the area into narrow areas have not improved.

For example, in Japan, there are 1,300 AMeDAS observation points nationwide. In simple calculation, an observation device (AMeDAS observation device) is installed for each range of 17km ² and the weather is forecasted.

However, the above-mentioned recent local heavy rain, wind and rain, snowfall, storm, thunder, gust, etc. may occur in units of several tens of m ² . The number of AMeDAS observation devices currently installed by the Japan Meteorological Agency and the area covered by each of them cannot notify such specific local weather information or weather changes to the required specific target person. As described above, this is not suitable for work planning and risk management due to recent local weather changes.

Of course, if the number of AMeDAS observation devices that only support the range of about 17 Km ² is increased by about 100 times, the range will be about 0.17 Km ² , but AMeDAS observation devices and similar conventional observation devices are extremely expensive. (Several millions to tens of millions of yen) and investment is difficult. This investment makes it difficult to install observation equipment in a smaller area. Of course, making this investment in the private sector is even more difficult.

  In view of these problems 1 to 6, the present invention provides localized heavy rains, concentrated snowfall, gusts, strong winds, waves in divided areas that can correspond to a work area for a specific target person such as an outdoor worker. A weather information notification system for notifying weather information and warnings based on the weather information is provided.

In view of the above problems, the weather information notification system of the present invention includes a plurality of observation members installed in each of a plurality of partitioned areas required by the specific target person,
A server for receiving transmission of measurement values measured by the observation member via a general public network, and
Each of the plurality of observation members measures, as the measurement value, a difference value between the total wind pressure and static pressure at the observation point in the partition area where the observation member is installed,
The difference value includes individual difference values in a plurality of directions between the total pressure and the static pressure in a plurality of directions at the observation member,
The server
A receiving unit for receiving the measurement value transmitted from the general public network;
A calculation unit that predicts weather information for each of the plurality of partitioned areas by incorporating the measurement value into an arithmetic expression to be implemented; and
A notification unit for notifying the specific target person of the necessary weather information of the section area,
The measured value is a data value of a stage before being electronically calculated,
The calculation unit restores accurate information on both the wind direction and the wind speed for each of the divided areas from the plurality of individual difference values, predicts the weather information,
Said plurality of respective divided areas, as well as a range of a few 10 m 2 ^~ number 100 m ^2, a region that is divided in correspondence with the working area in which the particular service vehicle to work,
The observation member includes a transmission unit that transmits the measurement value via the general public network,
Since the measurement value transmitted by the transmission unit is the difference value, the transmission load on the general public network can be reduced.

  The weather information notification system of the present invention can install an observation member in each of a plurality of partitioned areas corresponding to a work area where a specific target person such as an outdoor worker is working. Each of the observation members transmits measurement values related to the wind pressure and the wind direction to the server. The server can predict the meteorological information of each partitioned area corresponding to the observation point based on the measurement values at these observation points.

  At this time, since the weather information can be predicted by the calculation function implemented on the server side, the calculation at the observation member becomes unnecessary, and the cost of the observation member can be reduced. As a result, an observation member can be installed at each of observation points corresponding to a large number of partitioned areas. Further, even if there is a change in the calculation method, it is only necessary to deal with the server side. Together, it is possible to predict weather information with high accuracy in each of a large number of partitioned areas.

  In addition, communication of measured values from the observation member to the server uses a general public network, and can always be transmitted. As a result, it is possible to always notify the specific target person. Moreover, it is possible to detect an observation member having a failure or an error by constantly transmitting and constantly notifying, and it is possible to reduce prediction of inaccurate weather information.

  Furthermore, in accordance with the weather information notification, it becomes possible to notify work plans such as local heavy rains, heavy snowfalls, gusts, waves, and warnings necessary for evacuation response.

  (Embodiment 1)

(Difference of the area to be observed)
First, the difference between the partitioned area where the prior art has installed an observation device for observing weather conditions for weather forecasting and the partitioned area in the present invention will be schematically described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a partitioned area where an observation apparatus in the prior art is installed. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a partitioned region in which an observation member according to the present invention is installed. Both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are images for showing the difference between the partitioned areas. Depending on the actual topography, population density, distribution of specific target persons notified by the weather information notification system, etc., the partitioned areas 201 and 101 Each actual area and shape is different.

  Moreover, the partition area 201 in the prior art in FIG. 1 and the partition area 101 targeted by the present invention are greatly different in area. For example, the partition area 201 in the prior art is 17 Km2 or the like in the coverage of the AMeDAS observation apparatus in the conventional technique, but the partition area 101 in the present invention in FIG. 2 is assumed to be about several tens to several hundreds m2. ing. For this reason, the areas of both are greatly different.

  However, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, such an area difference is not displayed for the convenience of illustration. However, the partition area 101 of the present invention in which the actual observation member 2 is installed is much smaller than the partition area 201 in the prior art shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a certain area 200 is divided into divided areas 201A and 201B. The partitioned areas 201A and 201B are set according to the convenience of the side receiving the topography and the weather forecast and the side issuing the weather forecast. The partition areas 201A and 201B are extremely wide as described above. In addition, the areas of the partitioned areas 201A and 201B include various topography and characteristics such as plains, hills, mountains, forests, residential areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, seas, coastal areas, lakes and marshes. Such a situation is inevitable because the partitioned areas 201A and 201B are wide.

  As described above, the range covered by one observation device 210 (the observation device 210A is installed in the partitioned area 201A and the observation device 210B is installed in the partitioned area 201B) is very wide, and varies depending on topography and characteristics. Cannot respond to weather conditions or requests for different weather information.

  On the other hand, in the case of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, the partitioned area 101 is much narrower than the partitioned area 201. Due to the small area, the partition region 101 is unlikely to include different types of topography and characteristics. In addition, the range and shape of the partitioned area 101 may be determined on the premise of a topographic unit or characteristic unit that is optimal for a specific target person who needs notification of weather information. Of course, the section area 101 may be set according to the request of the specific target person who contracts with the weather information notification system of the present invention.

  In the present invention, the observation member 2 is installed in each of the narrowly divided partition regions 101. For example, in FIG. 2, the observation member 2A is installed in the partitioned area 101A, and the observation member 2B is installed in the partitioned area 101B. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 101 is not given to all partitioned areas for the sake of easy viewing. However, what is clearly identified as a partitioned area from FIG. Further, for the sake of explanation, only part of them are given additional symbols such as A, B, and C. Except when specifically used in the description, the partitioned area 101A and the partitioned area 101B are not fundamentally different. This corresponds to the case where it is necessary for the convenience of explanation.

  Of course, not all of a certain area is divided as the partitioned area 101, and the observation member 2 does not have to be installed in all of them. It does not deny that there is a partitioned area 101 that does not require notification of weather information and a partitioned area 101 that does not prioritize the installation of the observation member 2 from the return on investment.

  As described above, the observation member 2 targeted by the weather information notification system of the present invention includes the partitioned area 101 that is uniformly determined by the area, the partitioned area 101 that is partitioned by topography and characteristics, and the contracted specific target. Installed in at least a part of each of the partitioned areas 101 classified according to the request of the person or the partitioned areas 101 classified on the premise of the optimum range for notification of weather information to the specific target person. In addition, the partitioned area 101 of the present invention set by these sections is extremely narrow compared to the partitioned area 201 of the prior art, and in response to local weather information and weather change forecasts, It is most suitable for a specific target person who needs specific weather information.

  Thus, the partitioned area 101 of the present invention may be partitioned based on geographical features such as topography, characteristics, and area. Or you may classify | categorize corresponding to the work area which a specific worker works. Or you may classify | categorize based on the physical restriction | limiting with the observable range of the observation member 2. FIG.

(Overview)
An overview of the weather information notification system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the weather information notification system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The weather information notification system 1 includes a plurality of observation members 2 installed in each of a plurality of divided areas 101 obtained by dividing a certain area described with reference to FIG. Each of the plurality of observation members 2 and the server 4 are connected by a general public network 3. With this connection, the plurality of observation members 2 and the server 4 can communicate electrical signals.

  The general public network 3 is a communication network that is prepared for wireless communication, such as a mobile phone or a satellite phone. As an example, a mobile phone communication network currently established as an infrastructure is used as the general public network 3. Of course, it may be a communication line other than the communication network provided for mobile phones and satellite phones. Further, the general public network 3 may include not only wireless communication but also part or all of wired communication.

  FIG. 3 shows three partitioned areas 101A, 101B, and 101C among a plurality of partitioned areas 101 divided by a certain area for easy understanding. Each of the partitioned areas 101A, 101B, and 101C is an area of a range that is divided according to criteria such as the topography, characteristics, and requests of a specific target person notified by the weather information notification system 1.

  Here, for example, the partition area 101A includes a harbor, the partition area 101B includes a mountain forest area, and the partition area 101C includes a city area.

  The observation member 2A is installed in the partitioned area 101A, the observation member 2B is installed in the partitioned area 101B, and the observation member 2C is installed in the partitioned area 101C. Here, each of the observation members 2A, 2B, and 2C has the same basic function. Of course, you may have the structure according to the characteristic of the division area 101A-101C installed, and an additional function.

  Each of the observation members 2A, 2B, and 2C measures the measurement values related to the wind speed and the wind direction from the actual atmosphere in each of the partitioned areas 101A to 101C to be installed. Therefore, each of the observation members 2A, 2B, and 2C is preferably installed at a position where the wind speed and the wind direction can be easily measured from the atmosphere in each of the divided regions 101A to 101C. For example, it is preferable that the observation members 2A, 2B, and 2C be installed in a place where there are few shields around the column or the building.

  Each of the observation members 2 </ b> A, 2 </ b> B, 2 </ b> C transmits measured values related to the measured wind speed and direction to the server 4 through the general public network 3. By this transmission, the actual measurement values related to the wind speed and the wind direction in each of the multiple partitioned areas 101 are collected in the server 4. In other words, the server 4 can grasp and process the measured values in each of the partitioned areas 101 that are narrow and are divided in accordance with the necessity of notification.

  The server 4 includes a receiving unit 5 that receives a measurement value transmitted through the general public network 3, a calculation unit 6 that predicts weather information, and a notification unit 7 that notifies the specific target person of the calculated weather information. Prepare. The receiving unit 5 is connected to the general public network 3 so as to be able to communicate electrical signals. With this connection, the receiving unit 5 can receive each of the measurement values transmitted from the plurality of observation members 2.

  Each of the observation members 2 transmits, as a measurement value, data of a stage before electronic calculation related to the wind speed and the wind direction obtained from the atmosphere in each of the partitioned regions 101. For this reason, the measurement value received by the receiving unit 5 is not the data processed by electronic calculation, but the raw measurement data measured by the observation member 2. It should be noted that the data at the stage before being electronically calculated means that the measurement value obtained from the atmosphere of the segmented region 101 is kept from the wind speed and direction. That is, the measurement value transmitted from the observation member 2 is the data itself obtained from the wind speed and direction obtained from the atmosphere, and the prediction of weather information such as rainfall, snowfall, wind and rain, strong winds, waves, weather, weather changes, etc. It is not the data that was performed. Such prediction is intensively performed in the server 4. The stage before the prediction to such weather information is the meaning of the data before the electronic calculation.

  However, the measurement values measured by each of the observation members 2 are not intended to include calculations necessary for transmission such as electronic data conversion, modulation, and digitization necessary for transmission over the general public network 3. . Since these are electronic calculations necessary for transmission, it is possible that the measurement value is transmitted to the server 4 after the observation member 2 performs the calculation at this level.

  However, as will be described later, unlike the prior art, the observation member 2 only transmits a measurement value at the stage of measurement obtained from the atmospheric state in each of the partitioned regions 101. For each of the transmitted measurement values of the plurality of observation members 2, calculation for weather information prediction is performed intensively by the calculation unit 6 of the server 4. For this reason, the function of the observation member 2 and the burden of processing work are reduced. As a result, the observation member 2 simply needs to obtain measurement values related to the wind speed and direction from the atmosphere, so that the device cost and management cost of the observation member 2 can be extremely low.

  Unlike the prior art, since the cost of the observation member 2 can be reduced, the observation member 2 can be installed in a large number of partitioned regions 101 that are more narrowly divided as shown in FIG. 2 than in FIG. By installing the observation member 2 in a large number of partitioned areas 101 divided into narrow areas, it becomes possible to notify weather information in a narrower area (and can cover many areas). That is, it becomes possible to notify weather information such as localized torrential rain, concentrated snowfall, gusts, strong winds, and waves necessary for a specific target person such as an outdoor worker.

  The receiving unit 5 receives from the plurality of observation members 2 measurement values that are data at the previous stage on which such calculation for predicting weather information is performed. By the receiving operation of the receiving unit 5, the server 4 can grasp the measurement values related to the wind speed and the wind direction in each of the plurality of partitioned areas 101 to which the weather forecast should be notified.

  The calculation unit 6 substitutes (incorporates) the measurement value received by the reception unit 5 into the calculation formula to be mounted, and predicts weather information for each of the plurality of partitioned regions 101. In FIG. 3, the calculation unit 6 predicts weather information in the partitioned area 101 </ b> A based on the measured values from the partitioned area 101 </ b> A including the harbor. Similarly, the calculation unit 6 predicts weather information in the partitioned area 101B based on the measured values from the partitioned area 101B including the mountain forest. Further, based on the measurement value from the partitioned area 101C including the urban area, the calculation unit 6 predicts weather information in the partitioned area 101C.

  The computing unit 6 predicts weather information in each partitioned area 101 based on the measurement values transmitted from the plurality of partitioned areas 101. That is, complicated calculation with prediction of weather information is intensively processed by the calculation unit 6 provided in the server 4. For this reason, the burden on the function and structure of the observation member 2 is reduced, and the unit cost of the observation member 2 can be reduced. As a result, the observation member 2 can be installed in a large number of divided regions 101 divided over a wide range. In other words, the calculation unit 6 can predict and calculate meteorological information in each of the divided areas 101 that are divided into a wide range in a state where the wide range is covered.

  In addition, since the calculation calculation of the weather information is performed intensively by the calculation unit 6 of the server 4, the calculation calculation of the weather information does not vary for each partition region 101. In addition, even when it is necessary to change a predetermined calculation formula for performing weather information prediction, a coefficient of the calculation formula, or the like (by replacing the observation member 2 or improving the prediction calculation), only the change in the calculation unit 6 is sufficient. .

  The combination of the fact that the measurement value transmitted by the observation member 2 has not been subjected to such an electronic calculation as part of the weather information prediction calculation and the intensive weather information prediction calculation in the calculation unit 6 Can reduce the cost of the observation member 2, narrow the partition area 101, widen the coverage of the entire partition area 101, improve the accuracy of weather information prediction, prevent variation in weather information prediction, and immediately and easily change the calculation method The meteorological information notification system 1 has an effect such as an appropriate response and prevention of oversight of a failure of the observation member 2 or the like.

  The calculation unit 6 outputs the weather information predicted for each of the partitioned areas 101 </ b> A to 101 </ b> C to the notification unit 7. Upon receiving the output, the notification unit 7 informs the specific target person corresponding to the partitioned area 101A in the range of the partitioned area 101A (the area that is narrow as described above and requires local weather information and weather changes). Notify weather information.

  For example, in the case of FIG. 3, a port operator or a fisherman may be working in a partition area 101A including a port. That is, a port worker or a fishery-related person who works in the partition area 101A is often a specific target person who contracts the weather information notification system 1.

  The notification unit 7 notifies the specific target person of the weather information of the predicted partitioned area 101A by various methods. For example, in the partitioned area 101A including a harbor, weather information such as gusts and waves and changes in weather are important for workers in the partitioned area 101A. This is because, depending on the weather conditions, it is necessary to change the work plan or take a risk avoidance action. For this reason, the weather information notification system 1 informs a specific target person such as an operator in the partition area 101A by the notification unit 7 of the weather information and the weather change that are important for work planning and risk avoidance in the partition area 101A. Can provide.

  In addition, work related persons such as agriculture and forestry may be working in the partitioned area 101B including the mountain forest. That is, it can be considered that an agricultural or forestry-related person working in this partitioned area 101B is a specific target person who has contracted the weather information notification system 1.

  The notification unit 7 notifies the weather information of the predicted partitioned area 101B to the specific target person by various methods. For example, in the partitioned area 101B including a mountain forest, weather information such as local heavy rain, gusts, storms, snowfall, and tornado signs are important for workers in the partitioned area 101B. This is because, depending on the weather conditions, it is necessary to change the work plan or take a risk avoidance action. For this reason, the weather information notification system 1 informs a specific target person such as an operator in the partitioned area 101B by the notification unit 7 of the weather information and the weather change that are important for work planning and risk avoidance in the partitioned area 101B. Can provide.

  Alternatively, there may be a worker or the like who is a construction related person or an outside salesman in the partition area 101C including the urban area. Of course, there are many ordinary people such as residents and travelers. That is, it is considered that these workers, ordinary people, and the like in this partitioned area 101C are specific target persons who have contracted the weather information notification system 1.

  The notification unit 7 notifies the weather information of the predicted partitioned area 101C to the specific target person by various methods. For example, in the partitioned area 101C including an urban area, weather information and weather changes such as localized heavy rain, localized snowfall, localized gusts, tornado signs are important for workers and ordinary people in the partitioned area 101C. is there. This is because, depending on the weather conditions, it is necessary to change the work plan or take a risk avoidance action (such as evacuation). For this reason, the weather information notification system notifies the specific target person such as a worker or a general person in the partitioned area 101C by the notification unit 7 to the weather information and the weather change which are important for the work plan and risk avoidance in the partitioned area 101C. 1 can be provided.

  In addition, it is appropriate that the specific target person has a contract with the operator of the weather information notification system 1 in the notification of weather information. This is because it is appropriate in terms of notification by a notification method described later and management by an operator. Of course, the contract may be a paid contract or a free contract.

  In the case of this contract, the specific target person may be contracted for the entire range covered by the weather information notification system 1 without distinction of the partitioned area 101 to which the weather information is notified, or a part of the partitioned area 101 may be covered. You may be contracted for only.

  Alternatively, the specific target person can provide the weather information by the weather information notification system 1 to an unspecified number of people without making a contract.

  Note that the specific target person in the partitioned areas 101A and 101B may be not only a person involved in the work but also a resident or a general person staying and passing at that time, as in the partitioned area 101C.

  The notification unit 7 sends data, images, voices, etc. to electronic devices such as mobile terminals, mobile phones, smartphones, personal computers, tablet terminals, etc. of specific target persons who are contracted (or who are not contracted) Use to notify weather information. Alternatively, the notification unit 7 may notify the specific target person by using audio broadcasting in the partition area 101 corresponding to the specific target person.

  In addition, the prediction of the weather information in the calculation unit 6 and the notification by the notification unit 7 may be automatically performed at a predetermined time, may be automatically performed at predetermined time intervals, or a weather change occurs. Or may be performed based on a request from a specific target person.

  The timing of weather information prediction calculation and notification may be arbitrarily determined based on the balance between the timing that is convenient for the specific target person and the work cost in the server 4. Of course, the timing of the prediction calculation and the notification may be changeable, and the timing of the calculation and the notification is determined in a state where the timing determined by the server 4 and the timing requested by the specific target person are mixed. Also good.

  As described above, the weather information notification system 1 according to Embodiment 1 can notify the weather information of the partitioned area 101 in a narrow range that is useful for a specific worker. In addition, each of the partitioned areas 101 is a narrow range, but the whole of the partitioned areas 101 is suitable for a specific target person required for each narrow partitioned area 101 by reducing the cost of the observation member 2. Weather information can be notified.

  Next, the detail of each part is demonstrated.

(Observation member)
As described above, the observation member 2 is installed in each of the divided partition areas 101. Of course, there may be a partitioned area 101 where the infrastructure maintenance cannot catch up and the observation member 2 is not installed. This partitioned area 101 may simply be considered as a notification range of a weather forecast that is not covered by the weather information notification system 1 of the first embodiment.

  One or more observation members 2 may be installed in one partition region 101. Normally, one observation member 2 may be installed in one partition area 101, but a plurality of observation members 2 may be installed depending on the topography and geographical characteristics of the partition area.

  The observation member 2 measures the measurement values related to the wind speed and the wind direction with various structures and mechanisms. This measured value may be a wind speed value and a wind direction value actually measured by the observation member 2.

  The observation member 2 transmits the measurement value measured through the general public network 3 to the server 4. For this reason, the observation member 2 includes a transmission unit for transmitting the measurement value through the general public network 3. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the observation member according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The observation member 2 includes a wind speed measurement unit 21 that measures a wind speed value, a wind direction measurement unit 22 that measures a wind direction, and a transmission unit 23 that transmits the measurement value. The transmitter 23 performs processing for converting the measured value into digital data, modulating it, and multiplying the carrier wave as necessary. Through such processing as conversion, the transmission unit 23 generates a state in which the measurement value, which is an analog value, can be transmitted by radio waves using the general public network 3. In addition, actual transmission is also performed, and the measurement value is transmitted to the server 4 through the general public network 3.

  The wind speed measuring unit 21 may use various mechanisms. For example, a Robinson type anemometer as shown in FIG. 5 may be used. FIG. 5 is a photograph showing an example of an observation member in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The observation member 2α shown in FIG. 5 is a Robinson type observation member.

  The upper member 211 measures the wind speed, and the lower member 221 measures the wind direction. Such a Robinson type observation member 2α may measure the measurement values related to the wind speed and the wind direction.

  Alternatively, the observation member 2 may measure a difference value between the total wind pressure and the static pressure at the observation point to obtain a measurement value. FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an observation member that measures the difference value between the total pressure and the static pressure. The observation member 2β of FIG. 6 includes a total pressure measurement unit 25 and a static pressure measurement unit 26. Each of the total pressure measuring unit 25 and the static pressure measuring unit 26 is formed by a pipe line or the like, and each of the total pressure measuring unit 25 and the static pressure measuring unit 26 is an air amount per unit time entering the pipe line. The total wind pressure and static pressure at the observation point can be measured.

  The total pressure measurement unit 25 and the static pressure measurement unit 26 are connected by a connection pipe line 27. By this connection line 27, a difference value between the total pressure and the static pressure is obtained. The observation member 2β transmits this difference value as a measurement value.

  By transmitting only the difference value, the burden of transmitting the measurement value from the observation member 2β to the server 4 through the general public network 3 is reduced. This reduction reduces the burden of reception processing at the receiving unit 5 of the server 4, so that the processing burden such as weather information prediction calculation at the server 4 can also be reduced. Of course, the transmission load on the general public network 3 can also be reduced.

  Further, a plurality of total pressure measuring units 25 and static pressure measuring units 26 shown in FIG. 6 may be provided along a plurality of directions. By providing the plurality of total pressure measuring units 25 and the static pressure measuring unit 26 along a plurality of directions, the measurement value can include individual difference values that are individual difference values in a plurality of directions.

  With the plurality of individual difference values, the calculation unit 6 can predict and calculate weather information after decoding accurate information on both the wind direction and the wind speed, although only the difference value.

(Public public network)
The general public network 3 is a wireless or wired telecommunications network that has already been developed for other purposes. An internet line may be used. Alternatively, a mobile phone network or a satellite phone network may be used. As an example of a mobile phone network, a 3G (third generation mobile phone) network that is currently mainstream may be used.

  When such a cellular phone line network or satellite telephone line network is used as the general public network 3, it is possible to use the infrastructure that has already been completed, and communication independent of the distance between the observation member 2 and the server 4 is possible. There is a merit that is, and a merit that communication errors are less likely to occur. For example, when connecting to an Internet line or the like via a wireless LAN, there may be problems such as insufficient infrastructure maintenance, a problem that the communication distance is limited, or communication is interrupted.

  In this respect, as the general public network 3 through which the observation member 2 and the server 4 communicate, a mobile phone network, a satellite phone network, or the like is appropriate.

  Further, the server 4 notifies the specific target person of the predicted weather information through a mobile phone, a mobile terminal, a tablet terminal, or the like. Devices such as mobile phones and mobile terminals used for this notification are also connected to a mobile phone network or a satellite phone network. For this reason, the notification unit 7 of the server 4 can also notify the mobile terminal or the like owned by the specific subject as it is, using this mobile phone network or satellite phone network.

  Also in this respect, it is appropriate that the server 4 is connected to the mobile phone network or the satellite phone network as the general public network 3. Of course, a line network connected to a tablet terminal or the like corresponding to various infrastructure developments in recent years may be used as the general public network 3. For example, a circuit network dedicated to the tablet terminal (including a case where it is used in connection with another circuit network) may be used as the general public network 3.

  Note that the general public network 3 may be not only a circuit network grasped as one type but also a network in which several circuit networks are connected.

(Receiver)
The receiving unit 5 may be integrated with the server 4 or may be a separate body. In FIG. 3, the server 4 includes the storage unit 8, but may be connected to the storage unit 8.

  The receiving unit 5 can receive measurement values by being connected to the general public network 3. This connection may be any connection that can receive an electrical signal, and if the electrical signal is a wireless radio signal, it may be in a connection state (connection state via an antenna) that can receive a radio signal. If is a wired signal, it may be in a state of being electrically connected to the wired line.

  The receiving unit 5 may be connected to the general public network 3 at all times, or may be in a receivable state, or may be connected and received at a timing determined externally or internally. In the latter case, for example, it is only necessary that the receiving unit 5 can receive at the timing when the transmission state is established when any of the plurality of observation members 2 transmits the measurement value.

  Alternatively, the processor included in the server 4 instructs the reception unit 5 to perform a reception operation at a timing based on a predetermined interval or a timing notified to the specific target person. Based on this instruction, the receiving unit 5 establishes a connection state with the general public network 3 and receives measurement values transmitted from the plurality of observation members 2.

  The receiving unit 5 may perform demodulation and decoding necessary for reception to generate and output electronic data that can be processed by the calculating unit 6. For example, when the general public network 3 is multiplied by a carrier wave, the carrier wave is divided to extract a modulated signal. Further, the modulation is demodulated or decoded, and the measured value that is in the state indicated by digital data or analog data is output to the arithmetic unit 6. As a result, the calculation unit 6 can predict the weather information by substituting the measurement value into a predetermined calculation formula.

  Of course, part or all of demodulation and decoding may be performed by the arithmetic unit 6 instead of the reception unit 5.

(Calculation unit)
The calculation unit 6 substitutes the measurement value into a predetermined calculation formula, and predicts and calculates weather information in the partitioned area 101 corresponding to the measurement value.

  Here, the calculation unit 6 may include the processor and the calculation processing circuit, and read the calculation formula and the measurement value stored in the memory and perform the calculation. Of course, as the processor and the arithmetic processing circuit, those shared by the server 4 may be used. Further, all of the processor and the arithmetic processing circuit may be arithmetically processed by hardware, or a part other than the basic arithmetic operation by the processor may be arithmetically processed by software.

  As described above, the arithmetic unit 6 predicts and calculates weather information by arithmetic processing using a combination of a processor and a program, arithmetic processing using a processor or a dedicated arithmetic processing circuit, and the like.

  Here, the arithmetic expression includes a coefficient and a variable to be substituted. This arithmetic expression is stored in a memory (such as a ROM included in the processor in some cases) including the storage unit 8. The calculation unit 6 reads out this calculation formula, and substitutes the measurement value received by the reception unit 5 into a variable of the calculation formula to predict weather information.

  Here, the arithmetic expression is derived from various studies and empirical rules. This calculation formula is determined according to variables to be used and weather information to be predicted (rainfall, snowfall, wind and rain, gust, etc.).

  In addition, the prediction calculation based on this calculation formula may need to be changed due to external factors such as the topography of the partitioned area 101, geographical characteristics, accumulation of past data, or climate change. For this change, there is a case where the arithmetic expression is the same and only the coefficient is changed. Alternatively, it may be necessary to change the arithmetic expression itself.

  Even when the calculation formulas and coefficients have to be changed in this way, each observation member 2 transmits only measured values that are measured raw data, and the calculation calculation of the weather information is concentrated in the calculation unit 6. To be done. For this reason, the operator who manages the server 4 can cope with the necessity of the change only by changing the arithmetic expression and coefficient used by the arithmetic unit 6.

  As a result, no error or calculation error occurs in the prediction calculation of weather information based on the measurement values transmitted from the plurality of partitioned areas 101. In the case of the prior art, since the observation member has performed the prediction calculation of the weather information, if it is necessary to change the calculation formula or coefficient, it is necessary to change all the observation members. Is also unnecessary.

  Furthermore, even if there is a failure in any of the observation members, in the prior art after the weather information prediction calculation is completed, it is difficult for some of the observation members to be detected. However, in the weather information notification system 1 according to the first embodiment, only the measurement value is transmitted from the observation member 2, and the calculation is performed intensively by the calculation unit 6. For this reason, if the calculation part 6 produces the very strange value of the calculation result in a certain division area 101, the failure of the observation member 2 etc. can be discovered by the comparison with the other division area 101. FIG. Of course, since the observation member 2 does not perform calculation, there is a merit that it is difficult to break down.

  The calculation formula used by the calculation unit 6 is variously determined based on empirical rules and the like, and weather information can be predicted and calculated.

  As described above, the spatial density of the predicted data calculated (simulated) by the Japan Meteorological Agency is approximately several kilometers to several tens of kilometers. When calculating with this spatial density, the characteristics of the topography also take into account the range of the spatial density.

  However, in reality, the spatial density of the terrain characteristic is intricately intertwined with various densities of several tens of meters to several tens of kilometers. For this reason, the forecast data of the Japan Meteorological Agency is insufficient to predict the spatial density in more detail. Therefore, it becomes possible to predict the specific point by utilizing observation data of detailed spatial density.

  The calculation unit 6 of the present invention uses calculation formulas based on calculation results (regional characteristics) obtained by analyzing and analyzing various data selected for a point for which detailed forecasting is performed from forecast materials of the Japan Meteorological Agency and data observed at the point.

  In addition, the measurement value transmitted from the plurality of observation members 2 may be transmitted as a difference value or a plurality of individual difference values instead of the wind speed value and the wind direction value itself.

  In this case, the difference value is substituted into a variable of the arithmetic expression, or the difference value is converted into a wind speed value and a wind direction value by another arithmetic expression and then substituted into the variable of the arithmetic expression. Predicts weather information.

  In addition, when a plurality of individual difference values are transmitted, the wind speed value and the wind direction value are calculated using the vectors of the individual difference values, and then the calculation unit 6 substitutes the weather information into the calculation formula. Predictive calculation.

  As described above, even if the difference value or the individual difference value is used, the calculation unit 6 can predict and calculate the weather information, so that the data amount of the measurement value that the observation member 2 must transmit can be reduced. The transmission / reception load can be reduced. If the load can be reduced, the efficiency of the weather information notification system 1 as a whole can be improved, and the installation range of the observation member 2 can be further expanded.

  The calculation unit 6 outputs the result of the weather information calculated by prediction to the notification unit 7. At this time, weather information is output in association with an identifier indicating each of the plurality of partitioned areas 101. By associating the partition area 101 with the identifier and the weather information of the partition area 101, the notification unit 7 can output the weather information of the partition area 101 required by the specific target person to the specific target person to be notified.

  Here, the calculation unit 6 predicts and calculates local torrential rain, concentrated snowfall, gusts, strong winds, waves, and the like in the partitioned area 101 as weather information. Moreover, not only such weather information, but also predicts and calculates the possibility of a change in weather conditions or a sudden change. By being able to predict various types of weather information, such as the present situation, future, and changes, the notification of weather information by the weather information notification system 1 is narrow and specific target person working in it Can provide necessary suggestions such as work plans and evacuation measures.

  For example, torrential rain and heavy snow are caused by cumulonimbus clouds that are generated and passed over a long period of time. According to the forecast data of the Japan Meteorological Agency, these phenomena affected by the spatial density are particularly unsatisfactory and disturb the forecast.

  These are calculated from the observation data for the spatial advection speed of temperature and the intensity of cumulonimbus cloud (stability of rising air mass), and the prediction is made by correcting the temporal deviation and the strength of the phenomenon.

  In addition, gusts and strong winds are almost the same as the method, but these are complicated when there are influences such as air pressure arrangement and cold air advancing from the continent, but basically the advection speed of cold and warm air and The scale is affected, and the advection speed of cold air and the amount of change in temperature are calculated from observation data of wind direction and wind speed and temperature, and the prediction is created by correcting the temporal deviation and the strength of the phenomenon.

(Notification part)
The notification unit 7 receives the result of the weather information calculated by the calculation unit 6 and notifies the specific target person of the partition region 101 associated with the identifier of the weather information of the partition region 101.

  The notification unit 7 may also notify using the general public network 3 or may use other communication networks. In the notification, a wide notification method by audio broadcasting may be used, and a notification method in a data communication mode may be used for a mobile phone, a mobile terminal, a tablet terminal, a notebook personal computer, a dedicated terminal, etc. owned by a specific target person. May be used.

  In the latter case, weather information can be reliably and accurately notified only to the specific target person who has contracted. Of course, weather information can be notified in real time. For this reason, the specific target person can grasp the weather information on which he / she is (or is scheduled to move), and can take appropriate actions such as continuation of work, switching of work, or evacuation response depending on weather changes. .

  The notification unit 7 notifies the specific target person who needs the weather information in the partition area 101 of the weather information corresponding to each partition area 101 in this way, so that the weather information notification system 1 is a conventional problem. Can be solved.

  (Embodiment 2)

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, further ideas of each part, warning to a specific target person, and the like will be described.

(Notification of notification part)
As described in Embodiment 1, the notification unit 7 notifies the specific target person of the predicted weather information. As described in the first embodiment, the notification method includes a wide notification using audio broadcasting or data broadcasting and an individual notification notified to a portable terminal held by a specific target person.

  In the latter case, the notification unit 7 is always connected to the portable terminal of the specific target person, and notifies the weather information continuously or at a predetermined interval. In this case, even if there is no change in the weather information, the notification unit 7 continuously notifies the weather information at the timing generated by the notification unit 7 itself. In this case, since the specific target person can continuously grasp the weather information, it becomes easy to always grasp the weather information of the section area 101 in which the specific target person is present.

  Or the notification part 7 may notify weather information to a portable terminal etc. based on the notification request | requirement from the portable terminal etc. which a specific subject holds. In this case, there is an advantage that the communication cost of the portable terminal or the like owned by the specific target person is reduced. In addition, the notification unit 7 can notify the weather information at a timing when the specific target person wants to grasp the weather information for some reason (for example, grasping the weather fluctuation visually). The specific target person can obtain weather information according to his / her desired timing, which is effective.

  As described above, the notification unit 7 can notify the weather information in an appropriate manner depending on the timing of the notification unit 7 or the timing requested by the specific target person. FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating notification by the notification unit according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 7, based on the measured value from a certain divided area 101A (arrow A indicates the transmission direction of this measured value), the calculation unit 6 predicts the weather information. The notification unit 7 notifies the weather information of the partitioned area 101A that has been predicted and calculated to the outdoor display 53 and the outdoor broadcast 52 of the partitioned area 101A, or the mobile terminal 51 that is held by the specific target person.

  With the notification mechanism as shown in FIG. 7, the specific target person can obtain accurate weather information in a narrow range corresponding to each of the partitioned areas 101.

(Warning part)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the weather information notification system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The weather information notification system 1 of FIG. 8 newly includes a warning unit 9 in the server 4.

  For example, when it is determined from the weather information predicted by the calculation unit 6 that there may be a dangerous weather situation in the section area 101, the warning unit 9 issues a warning to the specific target person. As with the notification unit 7, the warning unit 9 may issue a warning to outdoor broadcasts, outdoor displays, portable terminals, and the like. By issuing a warning, a specific target person such as a worker working in the partition area 101 can avoid the danger in advance. For example, a specific worker can evacuate to a building in advance by warning of the danger of intensive heavy rain or gust. Alternatively, the construction worker can evacuate from the construction site. Or in the case of the weather change which may become a traffic jam, a specific subject person can also take measures, such as restrict | limiting the traffic volume of the said area | region in advance.

  Here, the warning unit 9 may notify the specific target person of the warning through a circuit network such as the general public network 3 independently of the notification unit 7. Alternatively, the warning unit 9 may notify the specific target person of the warning via the notification unit 7. In any case, when the warning unit 9 determines that a warning should be given from the prediction result in the calculation unit 6, the warning unit 9 notifies the specific target person of the warning.

  The dangerous weather situation may be local heavy rain, short-time heavy rain, similar snowfall, gust, tornado, etc., but may be other than those exemplified here. This dangerous weather situation may be set in various ways by the operator operating the server 4. The risky weather condition standard only needs to be stored in the storage unit 8 of the server 4, and the warning unit 9 makes a warning determination according to the set information by changing this.

  As described above, the weather information notification system according to the second embodiment can appropriately perform notification and warning, and appropriately promote work planning and evacuation response to a specific target person corresponding to the partitioned area 101.

  The weather information notification system described in the first and second embodiments is an example for explaining the gist of the present invention, and includes modifications and modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention.
