Description

The present invention relates to a congestion degree prediction display system, a congestion degree prediction display method, and a program.

Elevators such as elevators require repeated work such as appropriate maintenance, inspection, and repair. During these work periods, it is necessary to stop the operation of the elevator for the whole day, or for several hours to half a day, and the elevator concerned cannot be used during the suspension of operation. For this reason, when performing maintenance and inspection work on elevators and other elevators and refurbishing them, we try to choose times and days of the week that will not interfere with work stoppages in the building where they are installed.

When planning work that includes the shutdown of elevators, it is necessary to grasp information on the number of people in the building and the flow of people based on the purpose of the building and tenant information on each floor, etc. It is necessary to make a work plan by choosing a time and day of the week that will have little impact.

For example, when considering the case of carrying out renovation work in an office building, there are generally many elevator users during the daytime on weekdays, and fewer users at night, on Saturdays and Sundays. Construction work is often carried out. In addition, during the renovation work period, the elevators subject to construction will be separated from the group management control, so the number of elevators that can be used will decrease, and congestion will occur during times when the number of users increases, such as when people go to work or during lunch breaks. was a factor.

For this reason, building management companies and maintenance companies that perform elevator maintenance monitor the operating status of elevators and check whether there are any problems with the congestion caused by the work, even during the period when the elevators are out of service. Depending on the congestion status obtained through monitoring, elevator operation information is collected, data analysis is performed, and settings such as elevator operation control are changed in a timely manner to alleviate congestion at the platform on each floor and optimize operation. adjusted to make it possible.

In Patent Document 1, the number of users on each floor is calculated from information such as hall buttons and sensors for each time slot, and statistical processing is performed for each day of the week to estimate the number of users. A technology is described in which, after determining whether or not the limit is exceeded, a guide display for avoiding congestion is displayed when the limit is exceeded.

JP 2019-108189 A

In order to alleviate elevator congestion during work, it is necessary to collect operation data for a certain period of time at the site, analyze the cause based on that data, and change the settings to optimize elevator operation control. is.

In this case, the operation data and crowd monitoring data may be recorded in a recording medium such as a memory card, and the recording medium may be sent to the data center 4 .

[Data center hardware configuration]
FIG. 3 shows an example hardware configuration of the data center 4 .
The data center 4 is composed of computers that process information.
A data center (computer) 4 shown in FIG. 3 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 301, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 302, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 303, which are respectively connected to buses. Furthermore, the data center 4 includes a nonvolatile storage 304 , a network interface 305 , an input section 306 and a display section 307 .

[Flow of processing to create a display screen in the data center]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing performed by the data center 4 of this example.
The flow of processing shown in FIG. This is the flow of processing when having a meeting with the customer 2 or the like.

First, the worker 1 selects an elevator subject to renewal work on the screen of the portable terminal 3 (step S1). The selection of the target elevator for the renewal work is performed on the elevator renewal work plan selection screen 400 of FIG. That is, the elevator renewal work plan selection screen 400 shown in FIG. is indicated by

Here, the worker 1 selects the number of the elevator for which the renewal work is to be performed, from among the elevators shown in the renewal work target elevator selection column 401 . Here, when selecting an elevator car, a plurality of cars can be selected at the same time. When multiple units are selected at the same time, prediction processing of the degree of congestion when multiple renewal works are performed is performed.

Next, on the screen of the portable terminal 3, the person involved in the work 1 selects the type of renewal work that the customer 2 desires. For example, the worker 1 selects any one of control renewal, semi-removal renewal, and total removal renewal displayed in the renewal work type selection field 402 of the elevator renewal work plan selection screen 400 . Control renewal is work to update elevator control devices and the like. Quasi-removal renewal is the work of partially renewing elevator ropes and control devices. Complete removal renewal is the work of removing and renewing the entire elevator except for some structures such as guide rails.
After that, the worker 1 presses the search button 403 on the elevator renewal construction plan selection screen 400 to search the data center 4 (step S2).

When the search instruction for the elevator renewal work plan is displayed on the screen, the data center 4 retrieves the work plan for the selected machine and work type from the information registered in advance in the elevator work plan information storage unit 50. Searched. This search in the data center 4 is performed by the information search section 12 of the server processing section 10, for example. Then, a list of renewal work plans retrieved from the data center 4 is displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 3 (step S3).
For example, a list of retrieved renewal work plans is displayed in the renewal work plan selection field 404 of the elevator renewal work plan selection screen 400 shown in FIG. This display screen is created by the elevator operation status screen generator 11 of the server processor 10, for example.

In the example of FIG. 5, the renewal construction plan selection column 404 displays a list of plan name, construction period, construction period, and plan contents. As the plan contents, details such as execution of construction all day, construction on weekday nights and weekends, construction during daytime on weekdays, construction on weekends, etc. are displayed. The plan displayed in the renewal construction plan selection column 404 is based on the information registered in the elevator work plan information storage unit 50, but the construction period display column 405 is based on the request from the customer 2 by the person involved in the work 1. You may be able to change (input) the work start date and work end date while listening to .

Then, the worker 1 selects one or a plurality of plans for predicting the operation status from the renewal work plan selection column 404 and presses the operation status prediction button 406 .
The elevator renewal work plan selection screen 400 also displays a rough estimate calculation button 407 for calculating a rough estimate of the selected plan and an end button 408 .

When the operation status prediction button 406 is pressed, the elevator operation simulation unit 20 of the data center 4 performs a process of predicting the degree of congestion when the designated construction work is executed and the elevator of the corresponding number is suspended during construction. . When the elevator operation simulation unit 20 predicts the degree of congestion, the past operation information stored in the elevator operation information storage unit 31 of the collected data storage unit 30 and the past people flow information stored in the people flow monitoring information storage unit 32 are used. is used.

For example, the elevator operation simulation unit 20 acquires average people flow information for the same day of the week and time period within a certain past period from the collected data storage unit 30, and during the work period when construction of each plan is executed Estimate the total number of users for each unit operating at the same time. Then, the elevator operation simulation unit 20 calculates the degree of congestion for each time zone in the entire group control elevator from the estimated number of users. Then, the predicted number of users and the degree of congestion are displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 3 (step S4).

For example, an elevator renewal work period operation status prediction screen 500 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 3 . This display screen is created by the elevator operation status screen generator 11 of the server processor 10, for example.
The elevator renewal construction period operation status prediction screen 500 shown in FIG. A construction plan selection field 506 is displayed. Further, on the elevator renewal work period operation status prediction screen 500, an hourly operation status button 507 and a return button 508 are displayed. Here, the congestion level threshold 504 is a threshold for determining a very crowded state such that the number of passengers in the elevator car reaches its capacity. In other words, it is an unfavorable state that the congestion degree exceeds the congestion degree threshold value 504 .

As shown in FIG. 6, in the congestion degree prediction graph 503, all construction plans selected in the renewal construction plan selection field 404 of the renewal construction plan selection screen 400 in FIG. 5 are displayed so as to be distinguishable. Specifically, three congestion degree predictions of A plan, B plan, and C plan are superimposed on one congestion degree prediction graph 503 and displayed.
The congestion degree prediction graph 503 also displays, for reference, the congestion degree when construction (work) is not performed, that is, when all the machines are operated. As a result, on the renewal construction period operation status prediction screen 500, it is possible to compare the congestion degree graph for each renewal construction plan and the congestion degree during normal times (before construction).

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the congestion degree predictions for a plurality of plans (A plan, B plan, and C plan) are superimposed on one congestion prediction graph 503 and displayed. Graphs may be displayed side by side on the screen.

Again, return to FIG. 4 and continue the description. The worker 1 who saw the renewal construction period operation status prediction screen 500 in FIG. ).
In this step S5, if there is no plan exceeding the congestion degree threshold 504 (No in step S5), the worker 1 determines whether or not to check another plan (step S10). In step S10, when confirming other plans (Yes in step S10), the process returns to elevator selection in step S1 to execute prediction and display of other plans.

Further, in step S5, if there is a plan that exceeds the congestion level threshold 504 (Yes in step S5), the worker 1 presses the time zone operation status button 507 on the renewal construction period operation status prediction screen 500, The screen displayed by the terminal 3 is changed to the operation status prediction display screen for each construction time zone (step S6).

FIG. 7 shows an operation status prediction screen 600 for each hour of elevator renewal work.
On the elevator renewal construction operation status prediction screen 600 by time zone, a change in the number of users by time zone 601, a congestion level display column 602, a congestion level prediction graph 603, a congestion level threshold value 604, and a number of users graphs 606 and 607 are displayed. be done. The user number graphs 606 and 607 are the user number graph 606 for the time period from 12:00 to 13:00 and the user number graph 607 for the time period from 13:00 to 14:00. In addition, on the elevator renewal construction operation status prediction screen 600 by time zone, a shift target time zone selection field 608, a shift time width selection field 609, a shift number input field 610, a time shift operation prediction button 611, and a return button 612 are displayed. be done.

In the example of FIG. 7, the congestion level worsening time zone 605 indicates that the congestion level threshold 604 has been exceeded.
Here, the worker 1 who has seen the operation status prediction screen 600 for each time zone presses the time shift operation prediction button 611, and the elevator operation simulation unit 20 of the data center 4 Prediction to shift the usage time zone is executed (step S7).
Here, first, the worker 1 looks at the user number transition by time zone 601 in FIG.

Next, the worker 1 selects the shift duration from the shift duration selection column 609 , inputs the number of people to be shifted in the shift number entry column 610 , and selects the time shift operation prediction button 611 . In the example of FIG. 7, the shift duration selection field 609 allows selection of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes, and the shift number entry field 610 allows entry of any number of persons.

As for users to be shifted, the elevator operation simulation unit 20 may randomly extract users in the target time period, but users on a specific floor may be selected as shift targets, or users on specific floors may be selected as shift targets. Users of a specific area on the floor may be targeted for shift. Alternatively, the floors where the group control elevator stops can be divided into upper floors and lower floors, and users of either one can be subject to time shifts, the number of people can be set for each floor, and tenants number of people can be set. The shift here may be, for example, shifting the lunch break time of an office on a specific floor by a specified time.

FIG. 8 shows an example of an operation status prediction screen 700 for each renewal construction time zone of an elevator when the usage time zone of some users is shifted.
The display contents of the elevator renewal construction hourly operation status prediction screen 700 shown in FIG. 8 are basically the same as the hourly operation situation prediction screen 600 shown in FIG. The number of users graph 701 for the time period of 13:00 to 14:00 is the period during which the number of users decreased during the shift, and the number of users graph 702 for the time period between 13:00 and 14:00 is the time during which the number of users increases during the shift.

Also, the congestion degree prediction graph 703 before the time shift and the congestion degree prediction graph 704 after the time shift are displayed in an overlapping manner. In the example of FIG. 8, it can be seen that the congestion level prediction graph 704 after the time shift is below the congestion level threshold 707 . In other words, it is expected that the users will be distributed by time-shifting.
In this way, according to this example, a busy time zone such as the time to go to work or lunch break is specified, and the specified number of elevator users in the corresponding time zone is shifted backward (or forward). Operation simulation becomes possible.

In the operation status prediction screen 600 for each time zone in FIG. Input is preferred. However, depending on the time width set in the shift time width selection field 609, the leveling may not be performed appropriately. In such a case, change the time width of the shift time width selection field 609 to another value on the time zone operation status prediction screen 600 in FIG. 7, re-execute the operation simulation, and set the optimum time width. do. Also, the time set in the shift time range selection field 609 may be configured so that the time range (minutes) can be directly input as a numerical value.

Since the operation status prediction screen 700 for each elevator renewal construction time zone in FIG. 8 indicates that the shift is in progress, the time shift operation prediction button 705 is displayed in a light gray color or the like. Then, by pressing the return button 706 on the elevator renewal construction time zone operation status prediction screen 700, the screen returns to the display shown in FIG.

Returning to FIG. 4 again, the description is continued. After confirming the effect of the shift on the operation status prediction screen 700 for the elevator renewal construction time period shown in FIG. S8).
In this step S8, if there is an influence even after the shift (No in step S8), the work personnel 1 reviews the construction plan and plans in a meeting with the customer 2 (step S9), and selects the elevator in step S1. to run the forecast and display of the revised plan.

Further, in step S8, if the shift has no longer affected (Yes in step S8), the worker 1 determines whether or not to check another plan (step S10). In step S10, when confirming other plans (Yes in step S10), the process returns to elevator selection in step S1 to execute prediction and display of other plans.
Then, in step S10, if other plans are not to be confirmed (No in step S10), the worker 1 issues an instruction to display a rough estimate, confirms the cost comparison result for each construction plan (step S11), finish.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the elevator renewal work estimated cost comparison screen 800 displayed in step S11. This renewal work estimate amount comparison screen 800 is created by the elevator operation status screen generation unit 11 based on the renewal work estimate information stored in the renewal work estimate information storage unit 60 . However, in the flow from step S1 to step S10, if the conditions such as the renewal construction period are changed, a rough estimate under the changed conditions is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the elevator renewal work estimated amount comparison screen 800 has a construction plan estimated amount comparison table 801 and a return button 802 .
The column of the construction plan estimated price comparison table 801 displays the estimated price of the construction (work) for each plan. This elevator renewal work estimate amount comparison screen 800 is displayed and presented to the customer 2 when, for example, the customer 2 requests presentation of an approximate estimate.

As described above, according to the system of this example, when carrying out renovation work on an elevator installed in a building managed by a customer such as a building management company or building owner, congestion of the elevator during the work can be predicted in advance. and present it to the customer. In addition, based on the forecast, if it is necessary to take measures to alleviate congestion, after specifying the time zone that will be crowded, set the number of people to shift and the width of the time shift, and operate by time shift of users in the corresponding time zone It is also possible to confirm the effect of mitigating congestion by implementing changes in operation simulations.
In addition, it is possible to calculate and display the estimated cost of elevator renewal work for each plan, so that the construction plan can be appropriately presented to the customer.

[Modification]
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, in the examples of FIGS. 5 to 8, the degree of congestion is estimated based on the work plan for elevator renewal work. On the other hand, the data center 4 may similarly estimate the degree of congestion during work that is performed with the elevators inactive other than renewal work.

For example, the data center 4 creates an elevator maintenance work plan search screen 900 shown in FIG. 10 instead of the renewal work plan selection screen 400 shown in FIG. You can also do it with
The elevator maintenance work plan search screen 900 shown in FIG. have.

Then, the worker 1 presses a search button 903 after specifying a range in the work start date/time selection field 901 and the work end date/time selection field 902 on the maintenance work plan search screen 900 . As a result, a list of maintenance work scheduled within the specified range is displayed in the maintenance work plan list display field 904 . This maintenance work is performed by temporarily stopping the operation of the elevator.
When the operation status prediction button 905 is pressed while the list is displayed in the maintenance work plan list display field 904, the screen shifts to the display screen of the degree of congestion when performing each work displayed in the list. The display screen of the degree of congestion is the same as the screen at the time of renewal construction. In addition, when the date (day of the week) or time period for performing the maintenance work is selected, the estimated amount of money required for the maintenance work for each selection may be displayed.
In this way, it becomes possible to predict and display the degree of congestion during various work such as maintenance work that is performed while the elevator is stopped, in addition to the renewal work. It should be noted that, when processing the maintenance work plan, maintenance plan information is stored in the elevator work plan information storage unit 50 of the data center 4 .

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to compare the degree of congestion during renovation work and maintenance work for elevators. You may enable it to compare. For example, you may apply to elevators, such as an escalator.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the server processing unit 10 and the elevator operation simulation unit 20 installed in the data center 4 generate a screen showing the operation status, and display the screen on the mobile terminal 3 possessed by the salesperson or technician. is sent, and the result is displayed on the mobile terminal 3. On the other hand, the display device provided in the data center 4 may display the created screen.
Alternatively, a program (software) for executing the processing of this example is installed in the mobile terminal 3 possessed by a salesperson or a technical staff, and each information necessary for estimating the degree of congestion is transmitted from the data center 4 side to the mobile terminal 3. may be acquired, and the portable terminal 3 at work may perform the process of estimating the degree of congestion and the process of creating a display screen.

Further, the examples of the respective screens shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 are only examples, and other forms of display screens may be used.
