Note that the passenger conveyor 1 is not limited to such a configuration, and may be a moving walkway (moving walkway). Further, the passenger conveyor 1 is communicably connected to a moving body 2.

The mobile object 2 is a robot that moves autonomously. Note that the mobile body 2 is not limited to such a configuration, and may be a personal mobility vehicle operated by a person riding on the vehicle. Moreover, the moving body 2 may be a power assist suit that is attached to a person's body and moves by moving the person's body through the operation of an actuator. Furthermore, the mobile body 2 is communicably connected to the passenger conveyor 1.

The passenger conveyor 1 includes a communication section 11, a control section 12 such as a CPU, and a storage section 13 such as a memory or HDD. The storage unit 13 stores various information used in the passenger conveyor 1. The storage unit 13 stores, for example, various control programs for operating the passenger conveyor 1.

The communication unit 11 is a communication module for the passenger conveyor 1 to perform wireless communication with the moving object 2. Specifically, the communication unit 11 performs wireless communication with a communication unit 21, which will be described later.

The control unit 12 executes each process of the passenger conveyor 1. The control unit 12 includes a driving control unit 121, a boarding permission determining unit 122, a boarding timing determining unit 123, and a boarding determining unit 124.

The operation control unit 121 realizes smooth operation of the passenger conveyor 1 by reading and executing various control programs for operating the passenger conveyor 1 stored in the storage unit 13.

In the present embodiment, the rideability determination unit 122 determines whether or not the vehicle 2 can be ridden, based on the ride dimension information transmitted from the vehicle 2 . The determination by the occupancy determining unit 122 and the occupancy size information will be specifically explained using FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing a boarding entrance of a passenger conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Moreover, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the boarding entrance of the passenger conveyor which is one embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the driving direction D1 in step 14 will be referred to as the depth direction, and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the driving direction D1 will be referred to as the width direction.

The moving object 2 transmits riding size information indicating the dimensions occupied by the moving object 2 when riding on the passenger conveyor 1 to the passenger conveyor 1 via the communication section 21 described later. Specifically, the vehicle dimension information includes a moving body depth dimension Lb1, which is the dimension in the depth direction of the moving body 2 shown in FIG. 2, and a moving body width dimension Lb2, which is the width direction dimension of the moving body 2 shown in FIG. This is information indicating.

Note that the moving object depth dimension Lb1 and the moving object width dimension Lb2 may be calculated each time the moving object 2 gets on the passenger conveyor 1, depending on the orientation when the moving object 2 gets on the step 14.

When the passenger conveyor 1 receives the riding size information via the communication unit 11, the boarding permission determining unit 122 determines whether or not the moving body 2 can ride based on the riding size information. Specifically, using the depth dimension La1 between the rear ends 14b of adjacent steps 14 shown in FIG. 2 and the width dimension La2 of the steps 14 shown in FIG. 3, determine whether La1>Lb1 and La2>Lb2. If La1>Lb1 and La2>Lb2, it is determined that boarding is possible.

In the case of La1≦Lb1, while the moving body 2 is moving on the step 14, the step 14 in front of the step 14 on which the moving body 2 rides comes into contact with the moving body 2, and the moving body 2 is moved backward. There is a possibility that the moving object 2 will be pushed out of step 14. Therefore, in the case of La1≦Lb1, the boarding permission determining unit 122 determines that boarding is not possible.

In the case of La2≦Lb2, when the moving body 2 gets on the vehicle from the boarding entrance 15, there is a possibility that it will come into contact with the handrails 16 and handrails (not shown) installed on both sides of the step 14. Therefore, in the case of La2≦Lb2, the boarding permission determining unit 122 determines that boarding is not possible.

The passenger conveyor 1 transmits information indicating that the passenger can ride or information indicating that the passenger cannot ride to the moving body 2 via the communication unit 11 based on the determination by the ride permission determining unit 122 .
