Description

The technical field to which the invention relates

The invention relates to the field of transport, in particular for railway transport. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for remote monitoring and registration of technological operations in transport.

State of the art

It is known (RF patent No. 43521 for a useful model) a device for telecontrol of the state of railway automation objects, containing at a linear station two cameras on a support, carrying out an overview of the track development of the first and second throats of the station, a video signal converter, formation and transmission through telesignalization channels (TS) from a linear point (LP) to the central point (CP) of the converted signals about the actual freedom from rolling stock, isolated sections of the route set by the train dispatcher (DNTs), as well as containing the elements for receiving the mentioned signals on the CPU for the possibility of their use in the formation of response commands of telecontrol (TC) ...

The main disadvantage of the device is that it is aimed at ensuring the safety of train traffic only from the point of view of increasing the reliability of the message coming from the LP to the CPU about the state of the switch and arrowless isolated sections, by introducing video surveillance of these sections and transmission from the LP to the CPU. information, and does not in any way consider improving the safety of workers and the movement of a train from the point of view of increasing control over the quality of technological operations at the station, aimed at monitoring the condition of the train.

Known (RF patent No. 2313465 for the invention) a system for remote monitoring of the state of a railway track, containing a video camera installed on a support near the railway track in a high-risk area, connected to a wireless video signal transmitter, as well as a video signal receiver installed on the locomotive, a satellite navigation system and a monitor, connected to the electronic control and management unit. The video signal transmission zone from the video camera is at least 3 braking paths of the freight train, and the electronic control unit is configured to analyze the resulting image of the high-risk zone area and in the presence of an object between the rails, or in case of violation of the integrity of the railway track - displaying the image on the monitor and transmitting the image into the memory of the electronic unit, simultaneously with the indication of the coordinates of the violation of the railway track or a foreign object, as well as the generation of an automatic signal to brake the train.

The main disadvantage of the system is that it does not in any way consider improving the safety of the train train from the point of view of improving the quality control of technological operations at the station, aimed at monitoring the condition of the train.

Known (RF patent No. 2578639 for invention) a system for monitoring the work of a train compiler via a radio channel at a railway station, containing onboard radio stations located on shunting locomotives and a portable radio station of a train compiler, a radioserver and repeaters installed at the station, which are connected to the IP network to which they are connected also hardware and software devices for automated workstations of the station attendant and radio communication electromechanics, as well as a processing unit and a distance sensor installed in a separate housing, which is attached to the body of the compiler's portable radio station. The measuring element of the distance sensor is located on the outer side of the body with the ability to move in horizontal and vertical planes, the distance sensor is connected through the processing unit to the transceiver of the portable radio station of the train builder, the transceiver of the on-board radio station of each shunting locomotive is connected to the driver's call-and-call console, and the radioserver, repeaters , the transceiver of the locomotive radio station and the transceiver of the wearable radio station are made with the possibility of organizing a radio communication system based on the DMR standard.

The essence of the system for monitoring the work of the train maker via the radio channel at the railway station is to ensure the conditions for the safe operation of the train maker at the marshalling yard. This work requires constant monitoring of the shunting locomotive driver over the progress of the work of the train builder, working with him in pairs, accurate knowledge of its position relative to the rolling stock cars. It is especially important to control the work and condition of the compiler in the conditions of his work with wagons with dangerous goods, when the compiler is pushing and detaching the wagon. The control of shunting works at the station is achieved due to the high quality of data transmission and voice communication between workers who ensure the implementation of the technological process. For this, in the proposed system, the reception and transmission of information via a digital radio communication channel is organized according to the DMR standard, which allows for high quality transmission of voice information and data during technological processes.

The main disadvantage of this system is that full control over the safety of the work carried out in it is not achieved due to the lack of visual observation of the progress of technological operations, due to the lack of a video surveillance system.

Known (patent application US 20150070503 A1) video system and data transmission method. The system captures an image using a camera, a storage device connected to the camera and configured to store video data, and / or a communication device connected to the camera and configured to transmit the image data to a system receiver located remotely from the camera. The receiver of the system can be located on board the vehicle so that the operator can remove the camera from the vehicle and transmit image data back to the vehicle when performing, for example, working on the vehicle or inspecting the vehicle or surroundings around the vehicle. In some implementations of the system, additional elements of the system (receivers, sensors, etc.) can be added to its configuration, which increases the range of tasks it solves. The system can be transformable (static, movable and mobile) depending on the method of using the video camera. The camera can be installed, as on a static reference device, on board a moving object, and even used as a wearable device. Due to the super-transformability of the system, the patent describes the many possibilities of using this system in different services to perform a variety of tasks. For example, in the police service, on board a road transport, on board a train, aircraft, with a camera mounted on a static support device, or using it as a wearable device to inspect the surroundings of the vehicle when an employee performs a particular type of work, or performing a security function, etc. The system can transmit image data to multiple signal receiving devices, thereby increasing the number of users of the system.

The main disadvantage of this video system, in contrast to the claimed system, is that the parameters and configuration of the system do not meet the requirements for the functionality of the video system for monitoring and recording specific technological operations within a specific section of the railway station. It is not entirely clear from the known patent how, with the help of a functionally disparate system, it would be possible to solve the problems that the claimed system solves, specifically configured to perform very specific technological operations performed by workers at a specific work site with the participation of only a railway vehicle.

FIG. 3 shows a diagram of the interaction between an employee and a dispatcher.

Implementation of the invention

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that by introducing a system and method of video monitoring, several important tasks will be solved:

1.increasing the efficiency of the decisions made by the dispatcher and / or the driver by means of the employee transmitting the video image of the emergency situation, a defect in the equipment or infrastructure at the time of its detection in the technological zone, followed by video recording at the command of the worker of the control frame in the recorder of the dispatch center and / or in the driver's cabin ;

2. remote video monitoring by the dispatcher and / or the driver of the progress of work in real time and the subsequent video recording by the employee of the result of the technological operations performed, and registration of the control frame in the dispatch center and / or in the driver's cabin at the command of the employee himself;

3. Improving the labor safety of railway workers through constant video monitoring by the dispatcher and / or the driver of the process of performing technological operations, including the process of moving moving objects (for example, trains) and the employee.

A significant difference of the invention lies in the fact that video surveillance cameras with the parameters necessary to obtain a high-quality image are attached to the headgear of transport workers performing critical technological operations. The image of the work area is transmitted via radio communication to the dispatcher and / or driver. The employee records the shooting frames, which are considered control ones and indicate:

1. about the presence of a defect in the technological area;

2. on the completion of the necessary technological operations by the employee;

3. about the freedom of the zone of movement of moving objects.

In the future, these frames are transmitted to the dispatch center and / or to the locomotive at the command of the employee by pressing a button, where they will be stored in the registration devices.

Since the responsibility for the execution of work lies with the dispatcher, it is proposed to establish the main point of video surveillance and registration in the control room. The monitor screen of the dispatcher will display in real time the monitored objects, the processes of performing operations and control frames of the completion of operations from each employee. The dispatcher has the opportunity to remotely control the progress and quality of work, to respond more quickly to the process of performing technological operations. This will increase control over the technical condition of the rolling stock and floor equipment and will make it possible to prevent defects in work. Personal video surveillance cameras equipped with wireless communications are supposed to be issued to workers who directly perform critical technological operations (couplers, shoe-makers, inspectors, etc.).

The essence of the invention is as follows. The system for remote control and registration of technological operations in transport includes a personal video surveillance camera (video camera 2) fixed on the headdress of employee 1, a personal subscriber terminal (subscriber terminal 3) of employee 1 with an observation monitor 4, a GPS / GLONASS 5 satellite navigation signal receiver, a coordinate calculator location, date and time 6, a control panel (remote control 7) (with a keyboard for entering personal identification data of the user and entering information briefly describing the tasks assigned to the employee, with a button for recording a frame), and wireless communications (radio communication means 8), for example, LTE, Wi-Fi, WIMAX, GSM-R, with dispatcher 13 and / or locomotive driver 11, dispatch terminal 12 with monitor 4, remote control 7, video and audio recorder (recorder 9) and wireless communication means ( radio communication 8); an additional terminal 10 on a mobile object, for example, a locomotive 11, with a monitor 4, a remote control 7, a video and audio recorder (recorder 9) and wireless communication means (radio communications 8).

The method for remote control and registration of technological operations in transport includes the use of the above system, within the framework of which, when it is turned on, the receiver of GPS / GLONASS satellite navigation signals 5, which receives navigation signals from the satellite, is first triggered, which are processed in the computer 6, where are converted into information about the current coordinates of the employee's location, the start time of work and the date the system was turned on, which, in turn, will give legal force to the data that is transmitted from the video surveillance camera (video camera 2), as well as for the same purpose the employee himself through the subscriber terminal 3 employee 1 enters into the system his personal identification data (full name, personnel number, etc.) and information briefly describing the tasks assigned to the employee. The video camera 2 transmits the image of the working area to the personal subscriber terminal 3 of the employee 1, and via the wireless channel to the dispatch terminal 12 and / or to the additional terminal 10 of the mobile object, where in this whole chain the priority will be the task of delivering the image from the video camera 2 to the monitor 4 employee 1, since it is the employee performing technological operations that is assigned the obligation to correctly record the control frame. To do this, employee 1, upon detection of a defect, marriage or other discrepancy in the subject of inspection (a carriage, a bogie, other large and small parts and assemblies), must immediately after notifying the dispatcher or other official supervising person in the system give a command to save the image of the found their discrepancy, so that in the future it can serve as proof of the work performed and have legal force. The importance of a personal subscriber terminal of an employee with an observation monitor is that the employee performing a technological operation, at the moment of detecting a defect or after completion of work, can correctly record the result of his work or a detected defect in the surveillance area of the camera, since this plays an important role in the use of the entire systems. In railway transport, employees have to perform all sorts of technological operations, including the repair work of small parts and assemblies. In the event of a defect or defect in a small part or in a unit, an employee will have to correctly record the presence of a defect on the image, and since this application indicates that the camera is fixed on a headdress, it will not be easy for an employee to do this without an individual monitor, since he only knows the approximate field of view of the camera. When it comes to the transmission of images with small details and the identification of defects, it is required that the employee has a monitor that allows you to control and adjust the format and quality of the image before it is documented. An employee's personal subscriber terminal with an observation monitor acts as an element of control and correction of the angle, scale and image quality. The image from the employee's personal video surveillance camera arriving on the employee's personal monitor allows him to more effectively capture the area of interest. Only after making sure that the defect or the result of work is clearly visible on the image in the monitor, the employee will be able to give the command to capture the frame and send it for subsequent storage. The same procedure is carried out when fixing the result of work. In this regard, special requirements for the quality of their image are imposed on the control frames, where the main factor is the distinguishability in the image of one or another discrepancy of interest to us on a detail or object, regardless of their size. Therefore, the employee 1 must be in detail aware of the viewing area of his personal camera 2 by transferring the image from it to the monitor 4 of his personal subscriber terminal 3, where, in addition to the image itself, additional data on the shooting parameters and parameters of the image itself will be displayed, for the possibility of subsequent adjustment an employee of the angle and parameters of the final control frame in order to bring its indicators to acceptable quality values. Having received the desired angle and image quality, employee 1, using the remote control 7, issues a command to save the image, which is stored on the recorder 9. Upon completion of the technological operation, employee 1 performs the entire cycle of procedural operations to ensure the image quality is identical to that described above.
