　運転方法算出システム１２に設定される時間帯は、第１時間帯および第２時間帯を含む。第１時間帯の終了時刻は、第２時間帯の開始時刻である。 Next, functions of the driving method calculation system 12 will be described.
The time zone set in the driving method calculation system 12 includes a first time zone and a second time zone. The end time of the first time zone is the start time of the second time zone.
　受信部１４１は、携帯端末１５から軌跡データを受信する。受信部１４１は、受信した軌跡データを集計部１４２に送信する。 The receiving unit 141 receives trajectory data from the mobile terminal 15. The receiving unit 141 transmits the received trajectory data to the totaling unit 142.
　集計部１４２は、移動手段および移動方向の組合せの各々に対応する一時変数の各々を記憶する。第１時間帯の開始時刻に、集計部１４２は、一時変数の各々の値を０にする。集計部１４２は、第１時間帯に受信する軌跡データに基づいて、利用者１６の移動手段および移動方向を判定する。集計部１４２は、第１時間帯の終了時刻まで、軌跡データを受信する度に、判定した移動手段および移動方向の組合せに対応する一時変数の値に１を加算する。集計部１４２は、第１時間帯の終了時刻における一時変数の各々の値を、対応する移動手段および移動方向の組合せの各々によって第１時間帯に移動した人数とする。すなわち、集計部１４２は、エスカレーター１を利用して上る人数と、エスカレーター１を利用して下る人数と、階段２０を利用して上る人数と、階段２０を利用して下る人数と、の各々を、第１時間帯について集計する。 The totaling unit 142 stores each temporary variable corresponding to each combination of moving means and moving direction. At the start time of the first time zone, the counting unit 142 sets each value of the temporary variable to 0. The totaling unit 142 determines the moving means and moving direction of the user 16 based on the trajectory data received in the first time zone. The counting unit 142 adds 1 to the value of the temporary variable corresponding to the determined combination of moving means and moving direction every time the trajectory data is received until the end time of the first time zone. The totaling unit 142 sets the value of each temporary variable at the end time of the first time zone as the number of people who moved to the first time zone by each of the corresponding moving means and moving direction combinations. That is, the totaling unit 142 calculates each of the number of people who use the escalator 1, the number of people who use the escalator 1, the number of people who use the stairs 20, and the number of people who use the stairs 20. , Total for the first time zone.
　集計部１４２は、集計した人数の各々を表す人数データを第１記憶部１４３に送信する。人数データは、受動移動人数および能動移動人数の情報を含む。人数データは、能動移動人数の情報として、逆方向能動移動人数および順方向能動移動人数の情報を含む。受動移動人数は、エスカレーター１の運転方向にエスカレーター１を利用して上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。能動移動人数は、エスカレーター１に階段２０を利用して上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。逆方向能動移動人数は、エスカレーター１の運転方向の反対方向に階段２０を利用して上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。順方向能動移動人数は、エスカレーター１の運転方向に階段２０を利用して上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。 The totaling unit 142 transmits number data representing each of the total number of people to the first storage unit 143. The number-of-persons data includes information on the number of passive moving persons and the number of active moving persons. The number-of-persons data includes information about the number of active moving people in the reverse direction and the number of active moving people in the forward direction. The number of passive moving persons is the number of persons who move between the upper floor and the lower floor using the escalator 1 in the driving direction of the escalator 1. The number of active movements is the number of persons who move between the upper floor and the lower floor using the stairs 20 on the escalator 1. The number of people actively moving in the reverse direction is the number of people who move between the upper floor and the lower floor using the stairs 20 in the direction opposite to the driving direction of the escalator 1. The forward active number of people is the number of people who move between the upper floor and the lower floor using the stairs 20 in the driving direction of the escalator 1.
　エスカレーター１の運転方向が上りの場合に、エスカレーター１を利用して下る人数は、０人である。受動移動人数は、エスカレーター１を利用して上る人数である。逆方向能動移動人数は、階段２０を利用して下る人数である。順方向能動移動人数は、階段２０を利用して上る人数である。 When the driving direction of the escalator 1 is up, the number of people using the escalator 1 is 0. The number of passive movements is the number of people who can climb using the escalator 1. The number of people actively moving in the reverse direction is the number of people who go down using the stairs 20. The number of forward active moving people is the number of people climbing up using the stairs 20.
　エスカレーター１の運転方向が下りの場合に、エスカレーター１を利用して上る人数は、０人である。受動移動人数は、エスカレーター１を利用して下る人数である。逆方向能動移動人数は、階段２０を利用して上る人数である。順方向能動移動人数は、階段２０を利用して下る人数である。 When the driving direction of the escalator 1 is down, the number of people who use the escalator 1 is 0. The number of passive movements is the number of people who go down using the escalator 1. The number of people actively moving in the reverse direction is the number of people climbing up using the stairs 20. The number of forward active moving people is the number of people who go down using the stairs 20.
　第１時間帯の終了時刻に、第１記憶部１４３は、集計部１４２から受信した人数データを第１時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けて記憶する。 At the end time of the first time zone, the first storage unit 143 stores the number of people data received from the counting unit 142 in association with the time zone data of the first time zone.
　第１時間帯の終了時刻に、算出部１４４は、第１時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けられた人数データを第１記憶部１４３から取得する。算出部１４４は、取得した人数データに基づいて、第１時間帯のエスカレーター１の運転方法を例えば次のように算出する。 At the end time of the first time zone, the calculation unit 144 acquires the number of people data associated with the time zone data of the first time zone from the first storage unit 143. The calculation unit 144 calculates the operation method of the escalator 1 in the first time zone based on the acquired number data, for example, as follows.
　逆方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が第１閾値より小さい場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転方向を反対にする運転方法を算出する。第１閾値は、例えば１である。このとき、受動移動人数が逆方向能動移動人数より少ない場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転方向を反対にする運転方法を算出する。 When the ratio of the number of passive movement people to the reverse direction active movement number is smaller than the first threshold, the calculation unit 144 calculates a driving method that reverses the driving direction of the escalator 1. The first threshold is 1, for example. At this time, when the number of passive moving persons is smaller than the number of backward active moving persons, the calculating unit 144 calculates a driving method that reverses the driving direction of the escalator 1.
　順方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が第２閾値より小さい場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転速度を変える運転方法を算出する。第２閾値は、例えば０．５である。このとき、受動移動人数が順方向能動移動人数の０．５倍より少ない場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転速度を変える運転方法を算出する。算出部１４４は、例えば運転速度を速くする運転方法を算出する。 When the ratio of the number of passive moving people to the number of forward active moving people is smaller than the second threshold, the calculating unit 144 calculates a driving method for changing the driving speed of the escalator 1. The second threshold is 0.5, for example. At this time, when the number of passive moving people is less than 0.5 times the number of forward active moving people, the calculating unit 144 calculates a driving method for changing the driving speed of the escalator 1. The calculation unit 144 calculates a driving method for increasing the driving speed, for example.
　算出部１４４は、算出した運転方法を表す運転方法データを第２記憶部１４５に送信する。 The calculation unit 144 transmits driving method data representing the calculated driving method to the second storage unit 145.
　第１時間帯の終了時刻に、第２記憶部１４５は、算出部１４４から受信した運転方法データを第１時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けて記憶する。 At the end time of the first time zone, the second storage unit 145 stores the driving method data received from the calculation unit 144 in association with the time zone data of the first time zone.
　第２時間帯の開始時刻に、送信部１４６は、第２時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けられた運転方法データを第２記憶部１４５から取得する。送信部１４６は、運転方法データを遠隔監視装置１１に送信する。 At the start time of the second time zone, the transmission unit 146 acquires the driving method data associated with the time zone data of the second time zone from the second storage unit 145. The transmission unit 146 transmits the driving method data to the remote monitoring device 11.

After that, the first storage unit 143 stores the number of people data generated by the counting unit 142 in association with the time zone data of the first time zone. Thereafter, the totaling unit 142 sets the value of the temporary variable to 0. Thereafter, the operation of the driving method calculation device 14 proceeds to step S205.
　ステップＳ２０５において、算出部１４４は、第１時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けられる人数データを第１記憶部１４３から取得する。その後、算出部１４４は、人数データに基づいてエスカレーター１の運転方法を算出する。その後、第２記憶部１４５は、算出部１４４が算出した運転方法を表す運転方法データを第１時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けて記憶する。その後、送信部１４６は、第２時間帯の時間帯データに関連付けられる運転方法データを第２記憶部１４５から取得する。その後、送信部１４６は、運転方法データを遠隔監視装置１１に送信する。その後、運転方法算出装置１４の動作は、ステップＳ２０１に進む。 In step S205, the calculation unit 144 acquires the number data associated with the time zone data of the first time zone from the first storage unit 143. Thereafter, the calculation unit 144 calculates the driving method of the escalator 1 based on the number of people data. Thereafter, the second storage unit 145 stores the driving method data representing the driving method calculated by the calculating unit 144 in association with the time zone data of the first time zone. Thereafter, the transmission unit 146 acquires driving method data associated with the time zone data of the second time zone from the second storage unit 145. Thereafter, the transmission unit 146 transmits the driving method data to the remote monitoring device 11. Thereafter, the operation of the driving method calculation device 14 proceeds to step S201.
　以上に説明したように、実施の形態１に係る運転方法算出システム１２は、ビーコン１３と、運転方法算出装置１４と、を備える。ビーコン１３は、エスカレーター１から予め定められた範囲の内にいることを表す信号を発信する。乗客コンベアであるエスカレーター１は、上階および下階の間である通行経路に設けられる。運転方法算出装置１４は、受信部１４１と、集計部１４２と、算出部１４４と、を備える。軌跡データは、利用者１６の移動の軌跡を表す。携帯端末１５は、エスカレーター１から予め定められた範囲の内に利用者１６がいることをビーコン１３からの信号によって検知しているときに軌跡データを取得する。受信部１４１は、携帯端末１５から軌跡データを受信する。集計部１４２は、受信部１４１が受信する軌跡データに基づいて受動移動人数および能動移動人数を集計する。受動移動人数は、エスカレーター１を利用して上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。能動移動人数は、エスカレーター１を利用しないで上階および下階の間を移動する人数である。算出部１４４は、集計部１４２が集計する受動移動人数および能動移動人数に基づいてエスカレーター１の運転方法を算出する。 As described above, the driving method calculation system 12 according to the first embodiment includes the beacon 13 and the driving method calculation device 14. The beacon 13 transmits a signal indicating that it is within a predetermined range from the escalator 1. The escalator 1 which is a passenger conveyor is provided on a traffic route between the upper floor and the lower floor. The driving method calculation device 14 includes a reception unit 141, a totaling unit 142, and a calculation unit 144. The trajectory data represents a trajectory of movement of the user 16. The portable terminal 15 acquires trajectory data when it is detected by a signal from the beacon 13 that the user 16 is within a predetermined range from the escalator 1. The receiving unit 141 receives trajectory data from the mobile terminal 15. The totaling unit 142 totals the number of passive moving persons and the number of active moving persons based on the trajectory data received by the receiving unit 141. The number of passive moving persons is the number of persons who move between the upper floor and the lower floor using the escalator 1. The active movement number is the number of persons who move between the upper floor and the lower floor without using the escalator 1. The calculation unit 144 calculates the driving method of the escalator 1 based on the number of passive movements and the number of active movements counted by the counting unit 142.
　人の移動の実態とエスカレーター１の現状の運転方法があっていない場合においても、集計部１４２は、エスカレーター１を利用しないで移動する人数を集計する。この場合に、エスカレーター１を利用しないで移動する人数は、運転方法が実態とあっていたならばエスカレーター１を利用したと考えられる潜在的な人数である。このように、集計部１４２は、実際にエスカレーター１を利用した人数のみならず潜在的な利用の人数も集計する。算出部１４４は、実際の利用の人数および潜在的な利用の人数に基づいてエスカレーター１の運転方法を算出する。これにより、エスカレーター１の運転方法が人の移動の実態にあっていない場合であっても、算出部１４４は、人の移動の実態にあった運転方法を算出できる。 Even when there is no actual movement of people and the current driving method of the escalator 1, the counting unit 142 counts the number of people who move without using the escalator 1. In this case, the number of people who move without using the escalator 1 is a potential number that is considered to have used the escalator 1 if the driving method is actual. Thus, the totaling unit 142 totals not only the number of people who actually used the escalator 1 but also the number of potential users. The calculation unit 144 calculates the driving method of the escalator 1 based on the actual number of people and the number of potential users. Thereby, even if the driving method of the escalator 1 is not in the actual state of the movement of the person, the calculation unit 144 can calculate the driving method in accordance with the actual state of the movement of the person.
　特に、エスカレーター１が一台のみ設置されている場合に、利用者１６は、エスカレーター１の運転方向に移動する場合にのみエスカレーター１を利用できる。集計部１４２は、階段２０を利用してエスカレーター１の運転方向の反対方向に移動する人数を集計する。これにより、エスカレーター１が一台のみ設置されている場合においても、算出部１４４は、人の移動の実態にあった運転方法を算出できる。 In particular, when only one escalator 1 is installed, the user 16 can use the escalator 1 only when moving in the driving direction of the escalator 1. The counting unit 142 counts the number of people moving in the direction opposite to the driving direction of the escalator 1 using the stairs 20. Thereby, even when only one escalator 1 is installed, the calculation unit 144 can calculate a driving method that matches the actual movement of a person.
　集計部１４２は、携帯端末１５が取得する軌跡データに基づいて、上階および下階の間の映像によらずに移動の人数を集計する。これにより、集計部１４２は、利用者１６が他の利用者１６に隠れることによって人数の集計を誤ることがない。運転方法算出システム１２は、エスカレーター１の全体を撮影できる位置に設置されるカメラを必要としない。 The totaling unit 142 totals the number of people who have moved, regardless of the images between the upper floor and the lower floor, based on the trajectory data acquired by the mobile terminal 15. Thereby, the totaling unit 142 does not erroneously count the number of people due to the user 16 hiding behind other users 16. The driving method calculation system 12 does not require a camera installed at a position where the entire escalator 1 can be photographed.
　また、集計部１４２は、能動移動人数として、エスカレーター１を利用しないで上階および下階の間をエスカレーター１の運転方向の反対方向に移動する逆方向能動移動人数を集計する。算出部１４４は、逆方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が予め定められた第１閾値より小さい場合に、エスカレーター１の運転方向を反対にする運転方法を算出する。 Further, the counting unit 142 counts the number of active moving people in the reverse direction that moves between the upper floor and the lower floor in the direction opposite to the driving direction of the escalator 1 without using the escalator 1. The calculation unit 144 calculates a driving method in which the driving direction of the escalator 1 is reversed when the ratio of the passive moving number to the reverse direction active moving number is smaller than a predetermined first threshold value.
　この場合に、エスカレーター１の運転方向に移動する人数が、エスカレーター１の運転方向の反対方向に移動する人数に対して少ない。このとき、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転方向が人の移動の実態にあっていないと判定できる。これにより、算出部１４４は、人の移動の実態にあった運転方向を算出できる。 In this case, the number of people moving in the driving direction of the escalator 1 is less than the number of people moving in the opposite direction of the driving direction of the escalator 1. At this time, the calculation unit 144 can determine that the driving direction of the escalator 1 is not in the actual movement of the person. Thereby, the calculation part 144 can calculate the driving direction which suited the actual condition of a person's movement.
　また、集計部１４２は、能動移動人数として、エスカレーター１を利用しないで上階および下階の間をエスカレーター１の運転方向に移動する順方向能動移動人数を集計する。算出部１４４は、順方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が予め定められた第２閾値より小さい場合に、エスカレーター１の運転速度を変える運転方法を算出する。 Moreover, the totaling unit 142 counts the number of active moving persons in the forward direction that move in the driving direction of the escalator 1 between the upper floor and the lower floor without using the escalator 1 as the number of active moving persons. The calculation unit 144 calculates a driving method for changing the driving speed of the escalator 1 when the ratio of the number of passive moving persons to the number of forward active moving persons is smaller than a predetermined second threshold value.
　この場合に、エスカレーター１の運転方向に移動する人数が、エスカレーター１の運転方向にエスカレーター１を利用しないで移動する人数に対して少ない。このとき、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転速度が人の移動の実態にあっていないと判定できる。これにより、算出部１４４は、人の移動の実態にあった運転速度を算出できる。 In this case, the number of people moving in the driving direction of the escalator 1 is less than the number of people moving in the driving direction of the escalator 1 without using the escalator 1. At this time, the calculation unit 144 can determine that the driving speed of the escalator 1 is not in the actual movement of the person. Thereby, the calculation part 144 can calculate the driving speed according to the actual condition of a person's movement.
　また、集計部１４２は、上階および下階の間を移動する人数を軌跡データに基づいて軌跡データを取得した時間帯ごとに集計する。算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の時間帯ごとの運転方法を算出する。 Further, the totaling unit 142 totals the number of people who move between the upper floor and the lower floor for each time period when the trajectory data is acquired based on the trajectory data. The calculation unit 144 calculates an operation method for each time zone of the escalator 1.
　人の移動の実態は、曜日または時間帯などの時間帯によって変化しうる。集計部１４２は、時間帯ごとに人数を集計する。これにより、算出部１４４は、曜日または時間帯などの時間帯ごとに人の移動の実態にあった好適な運転方法を算出できる。 The actual situation of people's movement can vary depending on the time of day or time of day. The totaling unit 142 totals the number of people for each time period. Thereby, the calculation part 144 can calculate the suitable driving method according to the actual condition of a person's movement for every time slot | zones, such as a day of the week or a time slot | zone.
　なお、送信部１４６は、遠隔監視装置１１を通じて、管理人１０によらずに運転方法データを制御盤８に送信してもよい。運転方法を変える場合に、遠隔監視装置１１は、例えばカメラまたは重量測定装置などによってエスカレーター１に利用者１６が乗っていないことを確認した後に、新しい運転方法データを制御盤８に送信する。これにより、エスカレーター１は、自動的に好適な運転方法に基づいて運転される。 The transmission unit 146 may transmit the driving method data to the control panel 8 through the remote monitoring device 11 without depending on the administrator 10. When changing the driving method, the remote monitoring device 11 transmits new driving method data to the control panel 8 after confirming that the user 16 is not on the escalator 1 by using, for example, a camera or a weight measuring device. Thereby, the escalator 1 is automatically operated based on a suitable operation method.
　遠隔監視装置１１は、例えば一週間などの予め定められた周期で、時間帯ごとに算出された運転方法をまとめたレポートを作成してもよい。遠隔監視装置１１は、遠隔監視センター１８を通じて監視端末１９に作成されたレポートの情報を送信する。監視端末１９は、受信した情報が表すレポートを表示することによって管理人１０に提示する。管理人１０は、レポートを参考にして運転方法を指定できる。遠隔監視装置１１は、管理人１０のレポート作成を要求する操作によってレポートを作成してもよい。 The remote monitoring device 11 may create a report that summarizes the driving methods calculated for each time period in a predetermined cycle such as one week. The remote monitoring device 11 transmits the report information created to the monitoring terminal 19 through the remote monitoring center 18. The monitoring terminal 19 presents to the administrator 10 by displaying a report represented by the received information. The manager 10 can designate an operation method with reference to the report. The remote monitoring device 11 may create a report by an operation that requests the administrator 10 to create a report.
　算出部１４４は、時間帯ごとの人数の移動平均に基づいて運転方法を算出してもよい。例えば、時間帯が一週間の中の月曜日である場合に、算出部１４４は、今週から例えば四週間前の各々の月曜日に関連付けられて記憶されている受動移動人数の平均値を移動平均として計算する。算出部１４４は、逆方向能動移動人数および順方向能動移動人数についても同様に移動平均を計算する。算出部１４４は、計算した移動平均に基づいて運転方法を算出する。これにより、算出部１４４は、同じ時間帯における周期ごとの変動を抑えて運転方法を算出できる。また、算出部１４４は、過去にさかのぼるにつれて重みが減る重み付け平均に基づいて運転方法を算出してもよい。 The calculation unit 144 may calculate the driving method based on the moving average of the number of people for each time period. For example, when the time zone is Monday in a week, the calculation unit 144 calculates, as a moving average, the average value of the number of passive moving people stored in association with each Monday, for example, four weeks before this week. To do. The calculation unit 144 similarly calculates the moving average for the backward active moving number and the forward active moving number. The calculation unit 144 calculates a driving method based on the calculated moving average. Thereby, the calculation part 144 can calculate the driving | running method, suppressing the fluctuation | variation for every period in the same time slot | zone. Further, the calculation unit 144 may calculate the driving method based on a weighted average in which the weight decreases as it goes back in the past.
　集計部１４２は、軌跡データに基づいて階段２０を利用して移動する利用者１６の平均移動速度を計算してもよい。算出部１４４は、計算された平均移動速度に基づいて運転方法を算出してもよい。例えば、順方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が予め定められた第２閾値より小さく、かつ、平均移動速度がエスカレーター１の運転速度より速い場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転速度を速くする運転方法を算出する。あるいは、順方向能動移動人数に対する受動移動人数の割合が予め定められた第２閾値より小さく、かつ、平均移動速度がエスカレーター１の運転速度より遅い場合に、算出部１４４は、エスカレーター１の運転速度を遅くする運転方法を算出する。 The totaling unit 142 may calculate the average moving speed of the user 16 who moves using the stairs 20 based on the trajectory data. The calculation unit 144 may calculate a driving method based on the calculated average moving speed. For example, when the ratio of the number of passive moving persons to the number of forward active moving persons is smaller than a predetermined second threshold and the average moving speed is faster than the operating speed of the escalator 1, the calculating unit 144 operates the operating speed of the escalator 1. Calculate how to drive faster. Alternatively, when the ratio of the number of passive moving persons to the number of forward active moving persons is smaller than a predetermined second threshold and the average moving speed is slower than the operating speed of the escalator 1, the calculating unit 144 calculates the operating speed of the escalator 1. The driving method that slows down is calculated.
　時間帯は、一週間などの等間隔で繰り返す曜日、または、不等間隔で繰り返す祝祭日のいずれかまたは両方であってもよい。例えばイベント会場またはイベント会場周辺の駅などに設置されるエスカレーター１において、時間帯は、大きなイベントの開催日などの不定期で繰り返す日が管理人１０によって指定されてもよい。 The time period may be either a day of the week that repeats at regular intervals such as a week, or a holiday that repeats at irregular intervals, or both. For example, in the escalator 1 installed at an event venue or a station around the event venue, the manager 10 may designate the time zone as an irregularly repeated date such as the date of a large event.
　エスカレーター１は、他のエスカレーター１に併設されていてもよい。 The escalator 1 may be attached to another escalator 1.

　携帯端末１５が搭載するアプリケーションは、例えばエスカレーター１の設置場所などの、利用者１６に有用な情報を表示してもよい。アプリケーションは、エスカレーター１に関連しない他のコンテンツを表示してもよい。利用者１６に有用な情報が表示されることによって、多くの利用者１６の携帯端末１５にアプリケーションが導入されうる。これによって、運転方法算出装置１４は、より高い精度で人の移動の実態にあった運転方法を算出できる。 The application installed in the mobile terminal 15 may display useful information for the user 16, such as the installation location of the escalator 1, for example. The application may display other content not related to the escalator 1. By displaying useful information for the users 16, applications can be introduced into the mobile terminals 15 of many users 16. As a result, the driving method calculation device 14 can calculate a driving method that matches the actual movement of the person with higher accuracy.
