In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the sensor 200 includes an imaging unit 210 that captures an image of an area in the traveling direction of the railway vehicle RV (an area on the track RL). The captured image obtained by the imaging unit 210 includes various information such as the presence or absence of an obstacle on the track RL (or near the track RL) and the distance to the obstacle. Used to detect information about objects.
 なお、図1には、センサ200が有するセンシングデバイスとして、撮像部210のみが例示されているが、実施形態では、センサ200が、撮像部210に代えて(または撮像部210に加えて)、他のセンシングデバイスを有していてもよい。他のセンシングデバイスの一例としては、たとえば、障害物に関する情報を超音波により検出するソナーなどが考えられる。 Although FIG. 1 illustrates only the imaging unit 210 as a sensing device included in the sensor 200, in the embodiment, the sensor 200 is replaced with the imaging unit 210 (or in addition to the imaging unit 210). It may have another sensing device. As an example of another sensing device, for example, a sonar for detecting information on an obstacle by ultrasonic waves can be considered.
 ここで、上記のような構成において、鉄道車両RVのセンサ200が、線路RL上(または線路RLの付近)の障害物として、人および動物を含む生物や、生物が乗った乗り物などといった、生物に関連する障害物を検出した場合を想定する。この場合、線路RLから離れるなどの対応を生物に関連する障害物が自ら行うことを促すことができれば、鉄道車両RVと障害物との接触を容易に回避することができるので、有益である。 Here, in the configuration as described above, the sensor 200 of the railway vehicle RV is used as an obstacle on the track RL (or near the track RL), such as a creature including a person and an animal or a vehicle on which the creature rides. It is assumed that an obstacle related to is detected. In this case, if it is possible to encourage the obstacle related to the living body to take a measure such as leaving the track RL, it is advantageous because the contact between the railcar RV and the obstacle can be easily avoided.
 そこで、実施形態は、以下に説明するような構成に基づき、障害物に関する情報の検出結果に応じて鉄道車両RVの内外に適宜通知を行うことで、鉄道車両RVと障害物との接触を容易に回避することを実現する。 Therefore, the embodiment facilitates the contact between the railway vehicle RV and the obstacle by appropriately notifying the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV based on the detection result of the information on the obstacle based on the configuration described below. To avoid it.
 すなわち、通知制御装置100は、上記のような効果(結果)を得るための構成として、検出部110と、通知制御部120と、記憶部130と、を有している。検出部110は、距離検出部111と、種類検出部112と、時刻検出部113と、位置検出部114と、を有している。 That is, the notification control device 100 includes a detection unit 110, a notification control unit 120, and a storage unit 130 as a configuration for obtaining the above-described effects (results). The detection unit 110 has a distance detection unit 111, a type detection unit 112, a time detection unit 113, and a position detection unit 114.
 なお、実施形態において、通知制御装置100が有する上記の構成は、通知制御装置100のプロセッサがメモリなどに記憶された所定のコンピュータプログラムを実行した結果として、ソフトウェアとハードウェアとの協働により機能的に実現されるものであってもよいし、専用の回路によってハードウェア的に実現されるものであってもよい。 In the embodiment, the above-described configuration of the notification control device 100 functions as a result of the processor of the notification control device 100 executing a predetermined computer program stored in a memory or the like, in cooperation with software and hardware. It may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by hardware by a dedicated circuit.
 検出部110は、センサ200から取得される情報、たとえば撮像部210によって得られる撮像画像に基づいて、鉄道車両RVの進行方向における障害物に関する情報を検出する。前述したように、障害物に関する情報は、線路RL上(または線路RLの付近)における障害物の有無や、当該障害物までの距離などといった様々な情報を含んでいる。 Detecting section 110 detects information about an obstacle in the traveling direction of railway vehicle RV based on information acquired from sensor 200, for example, an image captured by imaging section 210. As described above, the information on the obstacle includes various information such as the presence or absence of an obstacle on (or near) the track RL and the distance to the obstacle.
 より具体的に、検出部110の距離検出部111は、障害物に関する情報として、障害物までの距離(鉄道車両RVと障害物との間の距離)を検出(取得、算出、推定)する。 More specifically, the distance detection unit 111 of the detection unit 110 detects (acquires, calculates, and estimates) the distance to the obstacle (the distance between the railway vehicle RV and the obstacle) as information on the obstacle.
 また、検出部110の種類検出部112は、障害物に関する情報として、たとえば障害物が生物か非生物かなどといった、障害物の種類(種別)を検出する。 {Circle around (4)} The type detection unit 112 of the detection unit 110 detects the type (type) of the obstacle, such as whether the obstacle is a living thing or a non-living object, as information on the obstacle.
 また、検出部110の時刻検出部113は、障害物に関する情報として、障害物の存在が検出された時刻を検出する。これにより、実施形態にかかる検出部110の各構成は、障害物に関する情報を、当該障害物の存在が検出された時刻と対応付けて検出することが可能である。 (4) The time detection unit 113 of the detection unit 110 detects the time at which the presence of the obstacle is detected as the information on the obstacle. Accordingly, each configuration of the detection unit 110 according to the embodiment can detect information on an obstacle in association with the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected.
 また、検出部110の位置検出部114は、障害物に関する情報として、障害物の位置に関する情報を検出する。障害物の位置に関する情報とは、たとえば、障害物の位置が予め設定された範囲内にあるか否かを示す情報や、鉄道車両RVが走行予定の線路RLと障害物との位置関係を示す情報などである。 (4) The position detection unit 114 of the detection unit 110 detects information on the position of the obstacle as information on the obstacle. The information on the position of the obstacle indicates, for example, information indicating whether or not the position of the obstacle is within a preset range, or the positional relationship between the railroad RL on which the railway vehicle RV is to travel and the obstacle. Information.
 通知制御部120は、以下に説明するような様々なデバイスを有した通知部300を制御する。 The notification control unit 120 controls the notification unit 300 having various devices as described below.
 通知部300は、鉄道車両RVの内外に情報を通知するためのデバイスである。通知部300は、前照灯310と、室内ランプ320と、警音器330と、室内スピーカ340と、振動デバイス350と、を有している。 The notification unit 300 is a device for notifying information inside and outside the railway vehicle RV. The notification unit 300 includes a headlight 310, an indoor lamp 320, a horn 330, an indoor speaker 340, and a vibration device 350.
 前照灯310および警音器330は、鉄道車両RVの外側に情報を通知するためのデバイスである。前照灯310とは、鉄道車両RVの前方を照らすことが可能に構成された照明であり、警音器330とは、鉄道車両RVの外側に対して警報などの音声を出力可能に構成されたスピーカである。 The headlight 310 and the horn 330 are devices for notifying information outside the railway vehicle RV. The headlight 310 is an illumination configured to illuminate the front of the railway vehicle RV, and the horn 330 is configured to output a sound such as an alarm to the outside of the railway vehicle RV. Speaker.
 一方、室内ランプ320および室内スピーカ340は、鉄道車両RVの内側のたとえば運転室内に情報を通知するためのデバイスである。室内ランプ320は、運転室内に設置される、点滅可能に構成されたランプであり、室内スピーカ340は、運転室内に設置される、警報などの音声を出力可能に構成されたスピーカである。 On the other hand, the interior lamp 320 and the interior speaker 340 are devices for notifying information inside the railway vehicle RV, for example, in the driver's cab. The indoor lamp 320 is a lamp installed in the driver's cab and configured to blink, and the indoor speaker 340 is a speaker installed in the driver's cab and configured to output a sound such as an alarm.
 なお、振動デバイス350は、鉄道車両RVの運転士に対して情報を通知するためのデバイスである。したがって、振動デバイス350は、鉄道車両RVの内側に情報を通知するためのデバイスとして分類可能である。振動デバイス350は、たとえば以下に説明するような構成を有している。 The vibration device 350 is a device for notifying a driver of the railway vehicle RV of information. Therefore, the vibration device 350 can be classified as a device for notifying information inside the railway vehicle RV. The vibration device 350 has, for example, a configuration as described below.
 図2は、実施形態にかかる通知部400に含まれる振動デバイス350の構成の一例を示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。図2に示される例において、振動デバイス350は、首掛け用のストラップ351と、当該ストラップ351の両端に設けられた振動部352aおよび352bと、を有している。 FIG. 2 is an exemplary and schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the vibration device 350 included in the notification unit 400 according to the embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the vibration device 350 includes a strap 351 for hanging on a neck, and vibration units 352 a and 352 b provided at both ends of the strap 351.
 図2に示されるように、振動デバイス350は、運転士などの人間に装着可能に構成されている。振動デバイス350が人間に装着された場合、振動部352aは、人間の右肩付近に接触し、振動部352bは、人間の左肩付近に接触する。したがって、振動デバイス350は、振動部352aおよび352bの少なくとも一方の振動に基づき、振動デバイス350を装着した人間に対して、触感による情報を通知することが可能である。 振動 As shown in FIG. 2, the vibration device 350 is configured to be attachable to a human such as a driver. When the vibration device 350 is worn on a human, the vibration part 352a contacts near the right shoulder of the human, and the vibration part 352b contacts near the left shoulder of the human. Therefore, the vibration device 350 can notify a person wearing the vibration device 350 of tactile information based on the vibration of at least one of the vibration units 352a and 352b.
 図1に戻り、通知制御部120は、検出部110の検出結果として得られる障害物に関する情報に応じて、鉄道車両RVの少なくとも外側に対して警報を含む通知を行うように、通知部300を制御する。より具体的に、通知制御部120は、障害物までの距離や、障害物の種類、障害物の存在が検出された時刻、障害物の位置に関する情報などといった障害物に関する情報に応じて、通知部300として設けられる上述した複数のデバイスを複数の方式で適宜使い分けて制御する通知制御を実行するように構成されている。 Returning to FIG. 1, the notification control unit 120 causes the notification unit 300 to perform a notification including an alarm to at least the outside of the railway vehicle RV in accordance with information about an obstacle obtained as a detection result of the detection unit 110. Control. More specifically, the notification control unit 120 sends a notification according to information about an obstacle, such as the distance to the obstacle, the type of the obstacle, the time at which the presence of the obstacle is detected, and information about the position of the obstacle. It is configured to execute notification control in which a plurality of devices described above provided as the unit 300 are appropriately used and controlled by a plurality of methods.
 以下、通知制御部120が実行しうる通知制御の方式の複数の例について順番に説明する。 Hereinafter, a plurality of examples of notification control methods that can be performed by the notification control unit 120 will be sequentially described.
 図3は、実施形態において実行される通知制御の方式の一例を表形式で示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。この図3に示される情報は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物までの距離に応じた通知制御の方式である。 FIG. 3 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing, in a table form, an example of a notification control method executed in the embodiment. The information shown in FIG. 3 is a notification control method according to the distance to an obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle.
 図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が近い場合、通知制御部120は、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して比較的強めの注意喚起を促すように、通知部300を制御する。より具体的に、図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が近い場合、通知制御部120は、前照灯310および室内ランプ320を早く点滅させ、警音器330に短いON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、室内スピーカ340に音量が大きいかつ/または短いON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、振動デバイス350を強く振動させる。 In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is short, the notification control unit 120 controls the notification unit 300 so as to urge relatively strong attention to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV. More specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is short, the notification control unit 120 causes the headlight 310 and the indoor lamp 320 to blink quickly, and causes the horn 330 to short ON / OFF. A periodic sound is output, and the indoor speaker 340 outputs a sound with a large and / or short ON / OFF cycle, and the vibrating device 350 is vibrated strongly.
 一方、図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が遠い場合、通知制御部120は、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して、障害物までの距離が短い場合に比べて弱めの注意喚起を促すように、通知部300を制御する。より具体的に、図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が遠い場合、通知制御部120は、前照灯310および室内ランプ320を遅く点滅させ、警音器330に長いON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、室内スピーカ340に音量が小さいかつ/または長いON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、振動デバイス350を弱く振動させる。 On the other hand, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is long, the notification control unit 120 issues a weaker alert to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV as compared to the case where the distance to the obstacle is short. The notification unit 300 is controlled to prompt. More specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is long, the notification control unit 120 causes the headlight 310 and the indoor lamp 320 to blink slowly, and causes the horn 330 to have a long ON / OFF. A periodic sound is output, and the indoor speaker 340 outputs a sound with a small and / or long ON / OFF cycle, and the vibration device 350 is weakly vibrated.
 なお、図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が近くも遠くもない中程度である場合、通知制御部120は、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して、障害物までの距離が短い場合と長い場合との間の中程度の強さの注意喚起を促すように、通知部300を制御する。より具体的に、図3に示される例では、障害物までの距離が中程度である場合、通知制御部120は、前照灯310および室内ランプ320を中程度の頻度で点滅させ、警音器330に中程度の長さのON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、室内スピーカ340に音量が中程度の大きさ、かつ/または、中程度の長さのON/OFF周期の音を出力させ、振動デバイス350を中程度の強さで振動させる。 In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is medium, which is neither short nor far, the notification control unit 120 determines that the distance to the obstacle is short with respect to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV. The notification unit 300 is controlled so as to prompt the user to call attention of a medium strength between the case of the long time and the case of the long time. More specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the distance to the obstacle is medium, the notification control unit 120 causes the headlight 310 and the indoor lamp 320 to blink at medium frequency, and the audible alarm Device 330 outputs a medium-length ON / OFF cycle sound, and the indoor speaker 340 outputs a medium-sized and / or medium-length ON / OFF cycle sound. The vibration device 350 is vibrated at a medium intensity.
 このように、実施形態にかかる通知制御部120は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物までの距離に応じて、通知部300による通知の形態を変化させうる。これにより、実施形態によれば、障害物までの距離に応じた適切な強さで、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して警報を含む通知を行うことができる。 As described above, the notification control unit 120 according to the embodiment can change the form of the notification by the notification unit 300 according to the distance to the obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle. Thus, according to the embodiment, a notification including a warning can be issued to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV with appropriate strength according to the distance to the obstacle.
 図4は、実施形態において実行される通知制御の方式の図3とは異なる一例を表形式で示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。この図4に示される情報は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の種類に応じた通知制御の方式である。 FIG. 4 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing, in a table form, an example of a notification control method executed in the embodiment, which is different from FIG. The information shown in FIG. 4 is a notification control method according to the type of the obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle.
 図4に示される例では、障害物の種類が、人と、車と、人以外の動物と、線路RLの破損部分と、その他のものと、の5つに分類される。 In the example shown in FIG. 4, the types of obstacles are classified into five types: a person, a car, an animal other than a person, a damaged portion of the track RL, and others.
 ここで、人、車、および動物は、鉄道車両RVからの警報を含む通知を受け取ったときに回避行動をとりうるので、障害物の種類が人か車か動物である場合は、鉄道車両RVの外側に対して警報を含む通知を行う価値がある。したがって、図4に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が人か車か動物である場合にのみ、鉄道車両RVの外側に対する通知を出力するための前照灯310および警音器330を制御し、障害物の種類が線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものである場合、前照灯310および警音器330を制御対象として使用しない。なお、障害物の種類が人か車か動物である場合における前照灯310および警音器330は、図3(および後述する図5~図7)に示されるような他の方式に従って制御される。 Here, a person, a car, and an animal can take an avoidance action when receiving a notification including a warning from the railway vehicle RV. Therefore, when the type of the obstacle is a person, a car, or an animal, the railway vehicle RV It is worthwhile to make a notification, including an alert, to the outside of the Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the notification control unit 120 includes the headlight 310 and the alarm for outputting a notification to the outside of the railway vehicle RV only when the type of the obstacle is a person, a car, or an animal. When the sound device 330 is controlled and the type of the obstacle is a broken portion of the line RL or another type, the headlight 310 and the horn 330 are not used as control objects. The headlight 310 and the horn 330 when the type of the obstacle is a person, a car, or an animal is controlled according to another method as shown in FIG. 3 (and FIGS. 5 to 7 described later). You.
 一方、鉄道車両RVの内側に対しては、障害物の種類が線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものであっても、危険の度合(危険の発生可能性)を運転士に判断させるために通知を行う価値がある。また、障害物の種類が人または車である場合と、動物である場合と、線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものである場合とでは、危険の度合が異なると考えられるので、これら3つの場合については、通知の形態をそれぞれ異ならせる価値があると考えられる。 On the other hand, even if the type of the obstacle is the broken part of the track RL or other obstacles, the inside of the railway vehicle RV is notified so that the driver can determine the degree of danger (possibility of danger). Worth doing. In addition, the degree of danger is considered to be different between the case where the type of obstacle is a person or a car, the case where the obstacle is an animal, and the case where the type of obstacle is a broken part of the track RL or other objects. It is considered worthwhile to make the form of notification different.
 そこで、図4に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が人または車である場合と、動物である場合と、線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものである場合とで、室内ランプ320による通知の形態を異ならせる。より具体的に、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が人か車である場合、赤色照明となるように室内ランプ320を調光し、障害物の種類が動物である場合、黄色照明となるように室内ランプ320を調光し、障害物の種類が線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものである場合、水色照明となるように室内ランプ320を調光する。 Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the notification control unit 120 determines whether the type of the obstacle is a person or a car, an animal, and a case where the obstacle is a broken portion of the track RL or another type. The form of notification by the indoor lamp 320 is made different. More specifically, the notification control unit 120 dims the indoor lamp 320 so as to emit red light when the type of the obstacle is a person or a car, and sets yellow light when the type of the obstacle is an animal. The interior lamp 320 is dimmed so that the obstacle is a broken portion of the line RL or another obstacle, and the interior lamp 320 is dimmed so as to provide light blue illumination.
 なお、図4には、室内スピーカ340および振動デバイス350が、障害物の種類によらず、図3(および後述する図5~図7)に示されるような他の方式に従って制御されるという方式が例示されている。しかしながら、実施形態では、室内スピーカ340および振動デバイス350が、上記の室内ランプ320と同様に、障害物の種類が人または車である場合と、動物である場合と、線路RLの破損部分またはその他のものである場合とで異なる形態の通知を行うように、通知制御の方式が設定されてもよい。 FIG. 4 shows a method in which the indoor speaker 340 and the vibration device 350 are controlled according to another method as shown in FIG. 3 (and FIGS. 5 to 7 described later) regardless of the type of the obstacle. Is exemplified. However, in the embodiment, the indoor speaker 340 and the vibration device 350 are similar to the indoor lamp 320 described above, when the type of the obstacle is a person or a car, when the type of an obstacle is an animal, when the obstacle is a broken part of the line RL or other The notification control method may be set so that a notification in a different form is performed depending on the case.
 このように、実施形態にかかる通知制御部120は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の種類に応じて、通知部300による通知の形態を変化させうる。これにより、実施形態によれば、障害物の種類に応じて、鉄道車両RVの外側への不要な通知を省略したり、鉄道車両RVの内側に対して警報を含む適切な通知を行ったりすることができる。 As described above, the notification control unit 120 according to the embodiment can change the form of the notification by the notification unit 300 according to the type of the obstacle detected as one of the information regarding the obstacle. Thereby, according to the embodiment, an unnecessary notification to the outside of the railway vehicle RV is omitted or an appropriate notification including an alarm is issued to the inside of the railway vehicle RV according to the type of the obstacle. be able to.
 図5は、実施形態において実行される通知制御の方式の図3および図4とは異なる一例を表形式で示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。この図5に示される情報は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の存在が検出された時刻に応じた通知制御の方式である。 FIG. 5 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing an example of a notification control method executed in the embodiment, which is different from FIGS. 3 and 4 in a table format. The information shown in FIG. 5 is a notification control method according to the time when the presence of the obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle is detected.
 障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯が、朝や昼などといった明るい時間帯である場合、前照灯310の照明は、鉄道車両RVの外側に対する通知として機能しにくいと考えられる。したがって、図5に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯が朝または昼である場合、前照灯310を制御対象として使用しない。 (4) If the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs to a bright time zone such as morning or noon, it is considered that the illumination of the headlight 310 does not easily function as a notification to the outside of the railway vehicle RV. Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the notification control unit 120 does not use the headlight 310 as a control target when the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs to morning or noon.
 一方、障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯が早朝、夕方、夜、または深夜である場合、前照灯310の照明は、鉄道車両RVの外側に対する通知として十分に機能すると考えられる。したがって、図5に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯が早朝、夕方、夜、または深夜である場合、図3および図4(および後述する図6および図7)に示されるような他の方式に従って、通常通りに前照灯310を制御する。 On the other hand, when the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs is early morning, evening, night, or midnight, the illumination of the headlight 310 is considered to function sufficiently as a notification to the outside of the railway vehicle RV. . Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 5, when the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs to early morning, evening, night, or midnight, the notification control unit 120 determines whether the time zone is in the early morning, evening, night, or midnight. The headlight 310 is controlled as usual according to another method as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7).
 なお、図5には、前照灯310以外の通知部300が、障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯によらず、図3および図4(および後述する図6および図7)に示されるような他の方式に従って制御されるという方式が例示されている。しかしながら、実施形態では、前照灯310以外の通知部300が、上記の前照灯310と同様に、障害物の存在が検出された時刻が属する時間帯に応じて異なる形態で通知を行うように、通知制御の方式が設定されてもよい。 Note that, in FIG. 5, the notification unit 300 other than the headlight 310 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (and FIGS. 6 and 7 described later) regardless of the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs. A method in which control is performed according to another method as shown in FIG. However, in the embodiment, like the headlight 310, the notification unit 300 other than the headlight 310 performs notification in a different form according to the time zone to which the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected belongs. , A notification control method may be set.
 このように、実施形態にかかる通知制御部120は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の存在が検出された時刻(が属する時間帯)に応じて、通知部300による通知の形態を変化させうる。これにより、実施形態によれば、障害物の存在が検出された時刻に応じた適切な形態で、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して警報を含む通知を行うことができる。 As described above, the notification control unit 120 according to the embodiment transmits the notification by the notification unit 300 in accordance with the time (the time zone to which the obstacle belongs) when the presence of the obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle is detected. The form can be changed. Thus, according to the embodiment, a notification including a warning can be issued to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV in an appropriate form according to the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected.
 図6は、実施形態において実行される通知制御の方式の図3~図5とは異なる一例を表形式で示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。この図6に示される情報は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の位置、より具体的には障害物の位置が予め設定された範囲内にあるか否かを示す位置関係に応じた通知制御の方式である。 FIG. 6 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing an example of the notification control method executed in the embodiment, which is different from FIGS. 3 to 5, in a table format. The information shown in FIG. 6 is a position of an obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle, and more specifically, a positional relationship indicating whether or not the position of the obstacle is within a preset range. This is a notification control method according to.
 障害物の位置が、鉄道車両RVの断面の大きさの限界範囲として設定される車両限界、または、鉄道車両RVの外側の建築物などの構造物の設置が制限される範囲として設定される建築範囲の外側にある場合、当該障害物が危険をもたらすことはない。したがって、図6に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の位置が車両限界または建築限界の外側にある場合、通知部300を制御対象として使用しない。 A building in which the position of the obstacle is set as a vehicle limit set as a limit range of the cross-sectional size of the railway vehicle RV, or a building in which installation of a structure such as a building outside the railway vehicle RV is limited. If outside the range, the obstacle does not pose a danger. Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, when the position of the obstacle is outside the vehicle limit or the building limit, the notification control unit 120 does not use the notification unit 300 as a control target.
 一方、障害物の位置が車両限界または建築限界の内側にある場合、当該障害物が危険をもたらすことがある。したがって、図6に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の位置が車両限界または建築限界の内側にある場合、図3~図5(および後述する図7)に示されるような他の方式に従って、通常通りに通知部300を制御する。 On the other hand, if the position of the obstacle is inside the vehicle limit or building limit, the obstacle may pose a danger. Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, when the position of the obstacle is inside the vehicle limit or the building limit, the notification control unit 120 may perform other operations as illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5 (and FIG. 7 described later). According to the method described above, the notification unit 300 is controlled as usual.
 このように、実施形態にかかる通知制御部120は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の位置、より具体的には障害物の位置が予め設定された範囲内にあるか否かを示す位置関係に応じて、通知部300による通知の形態を変化させうる。これにより、実施形態によれば、障害物の位置が予め設定された範囲内にあるか否かに応じた適切な形態で、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して警報を含む通知を行うことができる。 As described above, the notification control unit 120 according to the embodiment determines whether or not the position of the obstacle detected as one of the information on the obstacle, more specifically, whether the position of the obstacle is within a preset range. The form of notification by the notification unit 300 can be changed in accordance with the positional relationship indicating the above. Thereby, according to the embodiment, it is possible to perform a notification including an alarm to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV in an appropriate form according to whether or not the position of the obstacle is within a preset range. .
 図7は、実施形態において実行される通知制御の方式の図3~図6とは異なる一例を表形式で示した例示的かつ模式的な図である。この図7に示される情報は、障害物に関する情報の一つのとして検出される障害物の種類、より具体的には障害物の種類が動物であるか否かと、障害物に関する情報の他の一つとして検出される障害物の位置、より具体的には障害物の位置が線路RLに対してどの方向にあるかを示す位置関係と、の両方に応じた通知制御の方式である。 FIG. 7 is an exemplary schematic diagram showing, in a table form, an example of the notification control method executed in the embodiment, which is different from FIGS. 3 to 6. The information shown in FIG. 7 includes the type of the obstacle detected as one of the information about the obstacle, more specifically, whether or not the type of the obstacle is an animal and the other information about the obstacle. This is a notification control method according to both the position of the obstacle detected as one, more specifically, the positional relationship indicating the direction of the position of the obstacle with respect to the line RL.
 前述したように、動物は、鉄道車両RVからの警報を含む通知を受け取ったときに回避行動をとりうるので、障害物の種類が動物である場合は、鉄道車両RVの外側に対して警報を含む通知を行う価値がある。 As described above, an animal can take an avoidance action when receiving a notification including an alarm from the railway vehicle RV. Therefore, when the type of the obstacle is an animal, an alarm is issued to the outside of the railway vehicle RV. It is worth making a notification that includes:
 したがって、図7に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が動物である場合、動物が嫌う周波数の音を警音器330に出力させる。これにより、動物に対する注意喚起をより強く行うことができる。なお、障害物の種類が動物以外である場合、警音器330は、図3~図6に示されるような他の方式に従って、通常通りに警音器330を制御する。 Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 7, when the type of the obstacle is an animal, the notification control unit 120 causes the horn 330 to output a sound of a frequency that the animal dislikes. Thereby, it is possible to more strongly alert the animal. When the type of the obstacle is other than an animal, the horn 330 controls the horn 330 as usual according to another method as shown in FIGS.
 ここで、障害物の種類が動物である場合は、当該動物に対して、回避行動を行う方向をあわせて通知することができれば有意義である。 Here, when the type of the obstacle is an animal, it is meaningful if the animal can be notified of the direction of the avoidance action.
 そこで、図7に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が動物であり、かつ、当該動物が線路RLに対して左方向の位置に存在している場合、右から左にスイープする光を前照灯310に照射させ、動物に対して線路RLから離れる方向への移動を促す。一方、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が動物であり、かつ、当該動物が線路RLに対して右方向の位置に存在している場合、右から左にスイープする光を前照灯310に照射させ、動物に対して線路RLから離れる方向への移動を促す。 Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the notification control unit 120 moves from right to left when the type of the obstacle is an animal and the animal exists at a position in the left direction with respect to the track RL. The headlight 310 is irradiated with the sweeping light to urge the animal to move away from the track RL. On the other hand, when the type of the obstacle is an animal and the animal is present at a position in the right direction with respect to the track RL, the notification control unit 120 emits light that sweeps from right to left with the headlight 310. To urge the animal to move away from the track RL.
 なお、図7に示される例によれば、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が動物であり、かつ、当該動物が線路RL上に存在している場合、右から左にスイープする光を前照灯310に照射させる。しかしながら、この場合、左から右にスイープする光を前照灯310に照射させても、動物に対して線路RLから離れる方向への移動を促すことは可能である。ただし、線路RLが2本並んで設置される複線施設においては、鉄道車両RVの進行方向に対して左側には他の線路RLが存在するので、右から左にスイープする光を前照灯310に照射させ、動物が他の線路RLに進入するのを回避する方が適切である。 According to the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the notification control unit 120 emits light that sweeps from right to left when the type of the obstacle is an animal and the animal exists on the track RL. The headlight 310 is irradiated. However, in this case, even if the headlight 310 is irradiated with light that sweeps from left to right, it is possible to encourage the animal to move away from the track RL. However, in a double track facility in which two tracks RL are installed side by side, since there is another track RL on the left side with respect to the traveling direction of the railway vehicle RV, light sweeping from right to left is emitted by the headlight 310. It is more appropriate to irradiate the animal to avoid entering the other track RL.
 ところで、危険回避のためには、障害物が線路RLに対してどの方向にあるかを、当該障害物の種類が動物であるか否かに関わらず、鉄道車両RVの運転士に通知するのが適切である。 By the way, in order to avoid danger, it is necessary to notify the driver of the railway vehicle RV of the direction of the obstacle with respect to the track RL, regardless of whether the type of the obstacle is an animal. Is appropriate.
 そこで、図7に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物の種類が動物であるか否かに関わらず、障害物が線路RLに対してどの方向にあるかに応じて、運転士の左側および右側に独立に振動を伝えることが可能な振動デバイス350の制御方式を変化させる。 Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the notification control unit 120 determines whether or not the obstacle is in a direction relative to the line RL, regardless of whether the obstacle is an animal. The control method of the vibration device 350 capable of independently transmitting vibration to the left side and right side of is changed.
 より具体的に、図7に示される例において、通知制御部120は、障害物が線路RLに対して左方向の位置に存在している場合、運転士の左側に伝わる振動が右側に伝わる振動よりも強くなるように振動デバイス350を制御する。逆に、通知制御部120は、障害物が線路RLに対して右方向の位置に存在している場合、運転士の右側に伝わる振動が左側に伝わる振動よりも強くなるように振動デバイス350を制御する。また、通知制御部120は、障害物が線路RL上に存在している場合、運転士の左側に伝わる振動と右側に伝わる振動とが同程度に強くなるように振動デバイス350を制御する。これらの制御によれば、障害物の線路RLに対する位置関係を運転士に容易に通知することができる。 More specifically, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, when the obstacle is located at a position leftward with respect to the line RL, the notification control unit 120 transmits the vibration transmitted to the left side of the driver to the right side. The vibration device 350 is controlled so as to be stronger. Conversely, the notification control unit 120 sets the vibration device 350 such that, when the obstacle is present at the right position with respect to the line RL, the vibration transmitted to the right side of the driver is stronger than the vibration transmitted to the left side. Control. In addition, when an obstacle is present on the line RL, the notification control unit 120 controls the vibration device 350 so that the vibration transmitted to the left side of the driver and the vibration transmitted to the right side of the driver are substantially the same. According to these controls, the driver can be easily notified of the positional relationship of the obstacle with respect to the line RL.
 なお、振動デバイス350以外に運転士に情報を通知することが可能な通知部300(室内ランプ320および室内スピーカ340)については、図3~図6に示されるような他の方式に従って、通常通りに制御される。 The notification unit 300 (the indoor lamp 320 and the indoor speaker 340) capable of notifying the driver of information other than the vibration device 350 is provided as usual according to another method as shown in FIGS. Is controlled.
 このように、実施形態にかかる通知制御部120は、障害物に関する情報の一つとして検出される障害物の位置、より具体的には鉄道車両RVが走行予定の線路RLと障害物との位置関係に応じて、通知部300による通知の形態を変化させうる。これにより、実施形態によれば、線路RLと障害物との位置関係に応じた適切な形態で、鉄道車両RVの内外に対して警報を含む通知を行うことができる。 As described above, the notification control unit 120 according to the embodiment determines the position of the obstacle detected as one of the information related to the obstacle, more specifically, the position of the track RL to which the railway vehicle RV is to travel and the position of the obstacle. The form of notification by the notification unit 300 can be changed according to the relationship. Thus, according to the embodiment, a notification including an alarm can be issued to the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV in an appropriate form according to the positional relationship between the track RL and the obstacle.
 なお、実施形態において、通知制御の方式を表す図3~図7に示されるような情報は、記憶部130(図1参照)に記憶される。通知制御部120は、記憶部130に記憶された情報に従って、通知制御を実行する。なお、通知制御の方式の具体的な内容は、図3~図7に示される例に制限されるものではない。 In the embodiment, information as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 7 representing the notification control method is stored in the storage unit 130 (see FIG. 1). The notification control unit 120 performs notification control according to the information stored in the storage unit 130. The specific contents of the notification control method are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS.
 以下、実施形態の制御動作について説明する。 Hereinafter, the control operation of the embodiment will be described.
 図8は、実施形態にかかる通知制御装置100が実行する一連の処理を示した例示的かつ模式的なフローチャートである。この図8に示される処理フローは、鉄道車両RVの走行中に所定の制御周期で繰り返し実行される。 FIG. 8 is an exemplary and schematic flowchart showing a series of processes executed by the notification control device 100 according to the embodiment. The processing flow shown in FIG. 8 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined control cycle while the railway vehicle RV is traveling.
 図8に示される処理フローでは、まず、S801において、通知制御装置100(検出部110)は、撮像部210などを含むセンサ200から、鉄道車両RVの周辺の状況を示す情報を取得する。 In the processing flow illustrated in FIG. 8, first, in S801, the notification control device 100 (the detection unit 110) acquires information indicating a situation around the railway vehicle RV from the sensor 200 including the imaging unit 210 and the like.
 そして、S802において、通知制御装置100(検出部110)は、S801で取得された情報に基づいて、鉄道車両RVの進行方向に存在しうる障害物に関する情報を検出する。前述したように、障害物に関する情報は、障害物までの距離や、障害物の種類、障害物の存在が検出された時刻、障害物の位置に関する情報など、様々な情報を含みうる。 Then, in S802, the notification control device 100 (the detection unit 110) detects information on an obstacle that may exist in the traveling direction of the railway vehicle RV based on the information acquired in S801. As described above, the information on the obstacle may include various information such as the distance to the obstacle, the type of the obstacle, the time when the presence of the obstacle is detected, and the information on the position of the obstacle.
 そして、S803において、通知制御装置100(通知制御部120)は、S802での検出結果に応じて通知部300を制御する。より具体的に、通知制御部120は、記憶部130に記憶される図3~図7に示されるような情報に従い、鉄道車両RVの内外に対する警報を含む通知が、S802での検出結果に応じた様々な形態で行われるように、通知部300を制御する。そして、処理が終了する。 Then, in S803, the notification control device 100 (the notification control unit 120) controls the notification unit 300 according to the detection result in S802. More specifically, the notification control unit 120 issues a notification including an alarm for the inside and outside of the railway vehicle RV in accordance with the detection result in S802 in accordance with the information stored in the storage unit 130 as shown in FIGS. The notification unit 300 is controlled so as to be performed in various modes. Then, the process ends.
 以上説明したように、実施形態にかかる通知制御装置100は、鉄道車両RVの進行方向における障害物に関する情報を検出する検出部110と、検出部110の検出結果に応じて、鉄道車両RVの少なくとも外側に対して警報を含む通知を行うように通知部300を制御する通知制御部120と、を有している。このような構成によれば、障害物が人や動物などといった生物である場合に、線路RLから離れるなどの対応を自らとることを生物に対して促すことができる。その結果、障害物に起因して鉄道車両RVの速度調整を含む運行調整を実施する必要性を減らし、鉄道車両RVと障害物との接触を容易に回避することができる。 As described above, the notification control device 100 according to the embodiment includes the detection unit 110 that detects information about an obstacle in the traveling direction of the railway vehicle RV, and at least the railway vehicle RV based on the detection result of the detection unit 110. And a notification control unit 120 that controls the notification unit 300 to perform a notification including an alarm to the outside. According to such a configuration, when the obstacle is a living thing such as a person or an animal, the living thing can be urged to take a measure such as leaving the track RL. As a result, it is possible to reduce the necessity of performing the operation adjustment including the speed adjustment of the railway vehicle RV due to the obstacle, and to easily avoid the contact between the railway vehicle RV and the obstacle.
 以上、本発明の実施形態を説明したが、上記実施形態はあくまで一例であって、発明の範囲を限定することは意図していない。上記実施形態は、様々な形態で実施されることが可能であり、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で、種々の省略、置き換え、変更を行うことができる。上記実施形態およびその変形は、発明の範囲や要旨に含まれるとともに、請求の範囲に記載された発明とその均等の範囲に含まれる。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is merely an example, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
