Description

運行状況表示システムおよび運行状況表示方法Operation status display system and operation status display method
　本発明は、エレベーターの利用客の集中等による混雑情報の提供を行う技術に関する。また、エレベーターの運行制御を行うためのエレベーター運行管理技術にも関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for providing congestion information due to concentration of elevator users. It also relates to elevator operation management technology for controlling elevator operation.
　オフィスビルや商業ビルを建築する際には、建築計画時にエレベーターの利用者の人数を予測し、スムーズな運行が行えるように設置台数や速度、容量などを最適な設備仕様でエレベーターを設置する。しかし、利用人数は建物用途や階床、入居しているテナントの種類や数などによっても変わるため、設置後のエレベーターの運行状況が建築計画時の予測と異なる場合がある。そのため設置後は、ビル管理会社やエレベーターのメンテナンスを行う保守会社が運行状況を監視、エレベーターの運行情報を収集し、データ分析を行う。そして、適時複数エレベーターの運行制御や出発基準階などの設定変更を行い、各階の乗り場待ち時間が少なく、最適な運行が出来るように調整している。また、最近の群管理エレベーターは、運行制御装置内に組み込まれた学習機能により、最適な運行制御を行っている。 When constructing an office building or commercial building, predict the number of elevator users at the time of construction planning, and install the elevator with the optimum equipment specifications such as the number of installed units, speed, and capacity so that smooth operation can be performed. However, since the number of users varies depending on the purpose of the building, the floor, the type and number of tenants, etc., the operating status of the elevator after installation may differ from the forecast at the time of construction planning. Therefore, after installation, a building management company or a maintenance company that maintains elevators monitors the operation status, collects elevator operation information, and analyzes the data. Then, the operation control of multiple elevators and the setting change such as the departure reference floor are changed in a timely manner so that the waiting time at the landing on each floor is short and the optimum operation is possible. In addition, recent group management elevators perform optimal operation control by a learning function built into the operation control device.
　これらに関する発明として、特開平１０－１０９８４４号公報（特許文献１）が提案されている。特許文献１には、エレベーターの運行線図に馴染みがない者であっても、エレベーターの運行情報を整理して表示手段の表示画面上に運行線図、および模擬運行線図を表示させる。そして、多数のエレベーターの設計変更前後の運行状態を容易にかつ、正確に理解することができる群管理エレベーターの運行表示装置が記載されている。 As inventions relating to these, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-109844 (Patent Document 1) has been proposed. In Patent Document 1, even a person who is unfamiliar with the operation diagram of the elevator organizes the operation information of the elevator and displays the operation diagram and the simulated operation diagram on the display screen of the display means. Then, the operation display device of the group management elevator that can easily and accurately understand the operation state before and after the design change of many elevators is described.
　また、群管理エレベーター運行制御に関する発明として特開平０６－１５６８９０公報（特許文献２）に提案されている。特許文献２には、エレベーター運行を制御する制御装置が学習によって各ビル、時間帯の交通状況に適した制御方法を選択して実用的で的確なサービス率を持ってエレベーターの運転を行うことが記載されている。 Further, as an invention relating to group management elevator operation control, it is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 06-156890 (Patent Document 2).

　次に、管理会社やビルオーナーなどの顧客１が管理するビルのエレベーターが日常的にある特定時間帯に混雑する場合の対応手順を、図７など図面を参照して説明する。群管理エレベーターは、複数のエレベーター２３a、２３ｂ.…２３ｎがかご呼びや、乗り場呼びに応答して最適に運行するよう制御されている。例えばオフィスビルなどの場合、出勤や昼食の時間帯にエレベーターの乗り場に利用者の待ち行列が発生したり、乗り場の呼びにてかごが到着してもかご内が満員で乗車できないときがある。このような場合エレベーターの利用者からのクレームや改善要望が発生することがあった（図７のＳ１）。このような場合、ビルの管理会社にてエレベーターの混雑やクレームの原因を調査、内容によっては、エレベーターの運行に関する調査をエレベーターの保守会社に依頼する。そして、エレベーター保守会社にて運行データを一定期間収集、併せて現地の乗り場やかごの混雑状況を調査、その結果を基にエレベーターの運行制御に関わる設定を最適なものに変更して対応していた。また、その後も混雑状況の現地調査を継続して実施する必要があり、対策が完了するまでに数ヶ月間掛かることがあった。 Next, the procedure for dealing with the case where the elevator of the building managed by the customer 1 such as the management company or the building owner is congested on a daily basis at a specific time zone will be described with reference to drawings such as FIG. In the group management elevator, a plurality of elevators 23a, 23b .... 23n are controlled so as to operate optimally in response to a car call or a landing call. For example, in the case of an office building, there may be a queue of users at the elevator platform during work or lunch hours, or even if the car arrives at the elevator platform, the car is full and cannot be boarded. In such a case, complaints and improvement requests from elevator users may occur (S1 in FIG. 7). In such a case, the building management company investigates the cause of elevator congestion and complaints, and depending on the content, asks the elevator maintenance company to investigate the operation of the elevator. Then, the elevator maintenance company collects operation data for a certain period of time, investigates the congestion situation of the local platform and car, and based on the result, changes the settings related to elevator operation control to the optimum one. It was. In addition, it was necessary to continue the field survey of the congestion situation after that, and it sometimes took several months to complete the countermeasures.
　次に、本発明の実施例における各装置の処理について説明する。まず、図１の運行人流データ収集装置１４から高速通信網に接続された通信装置１２を通じて、図２の群管理エレベーター１８の通信装置１９に接続する。接続後、運行データ記憶部２１のＳＤカードなどのメモリカードなどに記憶されているエレベーター運行データ２２と、乗り場カメラ２７とかご内カメラ２８、およびセキリティゲートなどの人流監視装置２９から映像データを取得する。また、人数計測データなどの人流監視データ２６を人流監視データ記憶装置２５から収集する。そして、この映像データと人流監視データ２６を、図１の収集データ記憶部１５のエレベーター運行情報１６と人流監視情報１７に保存する。なお、人流監視装置２９には、セキリティゲート等が含まれる。 Next, the processing of each device in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Then, the video data and the person flow monitoring data 26 are stored in the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17 of the collected data storage unit 15 of FIG. The person flow monitoring device 29 includes a security gate and the like.
　図３は、顧客１と技術員３がエレベーターの運行状況を確認するための画面例である。その内容は、所有するパソコンやタブレットなどの端末からエレベーターのかごの状態（階の位置、かご運転方向、かご乗員数、かごの呼び）と上下の乗り場呼び、乗り場混雑状況、運行シミュレーションの結果などが含まれる。まず、顧客１ないし技術員３が、混雑したエレベーターの対象ビルと、運行状況データの表示対象期間（開始日時、終了日時）を指定し、検索ボタン１０１を選択する。このことでビルマスタ情報９の該当ビルに関する固有のコードをキーにエレベーター運行情報１６、人流監視情報１７の該当データを情報検索部７から抽出表示される。なお、ビルマスタ情報９の内容を図１５に示す。その後、開始ボタン１０２を選択することで管理する号機単位にかごの状態と前述の混雑状況に関する項目のデータ一定間隔で更新され表示される（Ｓ２）。また、図３の画面には明記されていないが時間短縮表示のオプションを選択することで、時間を短縮した運行状況の表示も可能である。 FIG. 3 is an example of a screen for the customer 1 and the technician 3 to check the operation status of the elevator. The contents include the state of the elevator car (floor position, car driving direction, number of passengers, car call) from the terminal such as a personal computer or tablet owned, the upper and lower landing calls, the landing congestion situation, the result of operation simulation, etc. Is included. First, the customer 1 or the technician 3 specifies the target building of the crowded elevator and the display target period (start date and time, end date and time) of the operation status data, and selects the search button 101. As a result, the corresponding data of the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17 are extracted and displayed from the information retrieval unit 7 by using the unique code related to the corresponding building of the building master information 9 as a key. The contents of the building master information 9 are shown in FIG. After that, the data of the items related to the car status and the above-mentioned congestion status are updated and displayed at regular intervals for each unit managed by selecting the start button 102 (S2). In addition, although it is not specified on the screen of FIG. 3, it is possible to display the operation status in a shortened time by selecting the option of the time reduction display.
　図３の例の場合、４台までの運行状況を並行して表示することが可能である。顧客１または技術員３が、例えばビルの高層階をサービス階として稼働している５～８号機の混雑状況を確認する場合は、表示号機切替タブ（バンク選択）のうち、該当タブ（本例では１０３）を選択することで、５～８号機用高層階の運行状況データが表示される。また、パソコンなどで確認する場合、群管理エレベーターの管理単位のバンク毎に表示すると分かり易いが、タブレットなど画面の大きさに制約が有る場合を考慮し、表示するエレベーターの号機単位で選択出来るようにしても良い。 In the case of the example of FIG. 3, it is possible to display the operation status of up to 4 vehicles in parallel. When customer 1 or engineer 3 checks the congestion status of units 5 to 8 operating on the upper floors of a building as a service floor, for example, the corresponding tab (in this example) of the display unit switching tabs (bank selection) By selecting 103), the operation status data of the upper floors for Units 5 to 8 is displayed. Also, when checking on a personal computer, it is easy to understand if it is displayed for each bank of the management unit of the group management elevator, but considering the case where there are restrictions on the screen size such as tablets, it can be selected for each elevator unit to be displayed. You can do it.
　図３の１０４には、エレベーターの号機毎にかご階床位置と現在の乗員数、かごの呼び階が表示される。例えば図３の１０４の場合、かごが９階付近を走行中で乗員数が８人、かご呼びにて１２階への移動要求が有ることを表す。また、１０５は利用者の乗り場呼びの状態を表し、乗り場混雑状況欄１０６には、各人流監視情報１７のデータを基に算出されたフロアーの乗り場の混雑度、長待ち率、待ち人数をエレベーター運行情報１６が表示される。 In 104 of FIG. 3, the car floor position, the current number of passengers, and the car nominal floor are displayed for each elevator unit. For example, in the case of 104 in FIG. 3, it means that the car is traveling near the 9th floor, the number of occupants is 8, and there is a request to move to the 12th floor by calling the car. In addition, 105 represents the state of the user's landing call, and in the landing congestion status column 106, the congestion degree, long waiting rate, and number of people waiting for the floor landing calculated based on the data of each person flow monitoring information 17 are elevators. The operation information 16 is displayed.
　図３の１０６の混雑度は、乗り場の混雑指標を表した値で、利用者が乗り場に並んでからかごに乗れるまでの平均待ち時間を秒単位で表したものである。長待ち率は、利用者の６０秒を超える待ち時間の発生頻度（％）が算出され表示される。待ち人数については、人流監視情報１７から取得した人流データを基に単位時間あたりの乗り場待ち人数が算出され表示される。また、乗り場混雑状況欄１０６は、各ビル毎に決められた、時間帯別の混雑度評価基準値１０７に従って各フロアーの混雑度を３段階に判定された結果が表示される。この判定結果において、混雑度評価が注意以上の場合、背景色が変更して表示され、併せて人流解析動画欄に動画ボタン１０８が表示され、同ボタンが選択されると図５のエレベーター乗り場の人流データ解析画面が表示される。 The congestion degree of 106 in FIG. 3 is a value representing the congestion index of the landing, and represents the average waiting time in seconds from the time when the users line up at the landing to the time when they can get in the car. The long waiting rate is displayed by calculating the frequency (%) of the waiting time of the user exceeding 60 seconds. As for the number of people waiting, the number of people waiting for the landing per unit time is calculated and displayed based on the person flow data acquired from the person flow monitoring information 17. In addition, the platform congestion status column 106 displays the result of determining the congestion degree of each floor in three stages according to the congestion degree evaluation reference value 107 for each time zone determined for each building. In this judgment result, if the congestion degree evaluation is above caution, the background color is changed and displayed, and the video button 108 is also displayed in the human flow analysis video column. When this button is selected, the elevator platform in FIG. 5 is displayed. The human flow data analysis screen is displayed.
　図５の画面左側の３０１には、図２の乗り場カメラ２７から収集したエレベーター乗り場の混雑状態を、動画データで確認できるように表示される。３０２には、該当日時のエレベーターの乗り場待ち人数、かごの乗員数などの混雑状態を解析して文言が表示される。また、図５の画面右側の混雑度人流モニタ欄３０３には、かごの乗員状態と乗り場の待ち人数の混雑状態が、分かり易いように図式化して表示される。本例では、人型の表示について、良好、注意、悪化のエリアを分けて表示されているが、人型自体の表示を変更してもよい。例えば、色や大きさ、形状を変えてもよい。さらに、混雑度の秒数の表示を状毎に変更してもよい。なお、動画ボタン１０８には、静止画を表示させるためのボタンも含まれる。つまり、画像を表示できればよい。 The 301 on the left side of the screen in FIG. 5 is displayed so that the congestion state of the elevator platform collected from the platform camera 27 in FIG. 2 can be confirmed by moving image data. In 302, the wording is displayed by analyzing the congestion state such as the number of people waiting for the elevator at the relevant date and time and the number of passengers in the car. Further, in the congestion degree crowd monitor column 303 on the right side of the screen of FIG. 5, the occupant state of the car and the congestion state of the number of people waiting at the landing are graphically displayed for easy understanding. In this example, the humanoid display is divided into good, caution, and worse areas, but the humanoid display itself may be changed. For example, the color, size, and shape may be changed. Further, the display of the number of seconds of congestion may be changed for each condition. The moving image button 108 also includes a button for displaying a still image. That is, it suffices if the image can be displayed.
　次に、この表示を行うための処理を説明する。
この処理を実行するにあたり、顧客ビル側で収集ないし作成されたエレベーター運行データ２２と人流監視データ２６が、データセンター側に送信されそれぞれエレベーター運行情報１６と人流監視情報１７を作成する。そして、これらを用いて上記処理を行う。 Next, a process for performing this display will be described.
In executing this process, the elevator operation data 22 and the person flow monitoring data 26 collected or created on the customer building side are transmitted to the data center side to create the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17, respectively. Then, the above processing is performed using these.
　この処理の詳細について、説明する。なお、以下の群管理エレベーター１８には、情報処理装置が含まれ、以下に説明する処理は情報処理装置で実行される。
群管理エレベーター１８では、センサ（図示せず）、乗り場カメラ２７、かご内カメラ２８、人流監視装置２９や時計などの計時装置（図示せず）など各種センサを用いて収集したデータと、群管理制御装置２０からエレベーターの運行状態に関するデータを時系列に取得し、エレベーター運行データ２２を生成する。本実施例に係るデータ、つまり、エレベーター運行データ２２の内容は、図８に示すとおりで、２２ａおよび２２ｂで構成される。２２aは、かごの運行状態を時系列的に記録したかごの状態データである。２２ｂは、ホール（乗り場）からの呼びがあった場合にかごの到着時間、出発時間などを記録するホールの呼びデータである。その他にかご内からの呼びデータの内容を記憶する（図示せず）。これらのデータのち、２２ａは、該当する顧客ビルのビルＩＤ、監視対象のバンクのバンクＩＤ、エレベーターの号機ＩＤ、フロアーを示す情報に、以下のかごの運行状態を示す情報が対応づいている。かごの運行状態を示す情報には、かご変化時刻（後述するかご状態ないし戸状態に変化があった時刻）、かご方向（かごの移動方向を示すもので、ＵＰ＝上昇、ＤＮ＝下降）、かご状態（かご変化時刻におけるかごの状態を示す）、戸状態（かご変化時刻における扉の状態を示す）、荷重（エレベーター内の重量（人と荷物の総量））が含まれる。この２２aでは、エレベーターのかごの状態に変化があった場合にかごの状態を記憶し、エレベーター運行データ２２にレコードが作成される。 The details of this process will be described. The group management elevator 18 below includes an information processing device, and the processing described below is executed by the information processing device.
In the group management elevator 18, data collected using various sensors (not shown) such as a sensor (not shown), a landing camera 27, an in-car camera 28, a person flow monitoring device 29, and a time measuring device such as a clock (not shown), and group management Data related to the operating state of the elevator is acquired from the control device 20 in chronological order, and the elevator operation data 22 is generated. The data according to this embodiment, that is, the content of the elevator operation data 22, is as shown in FIG. 8, and is composed of 22a and 22b. Reference numeral 22a is car condition data in which the operating condition of the car is recorded in chronological order. Reference numeral 22b is hall call data that records the arrival time, departure time, etc. of the car when there is a call from the hall (landing). In addition, the contents of the call data from the car are stored (not shown). After these data, in 22a, the following information indicating the operation status of the car corresponds to the building ID of the corresponding customer building, the bank ID of the bank to be monitored, the elevator unit ID, and the information indicating the floor. The information indicating the operating state of the car includes the car change time (the time when the car state or the door state changed, which will be described later), the car direction (indicating the moving direction of the car, UP = ascending, DN = descending), and Includes car condition (indicating car condition at car change time), door condition (indicating door condition at car change time), and load (weight in elevator (total amount of people and luggage)). In this 22a, the state of the car is stored when the state of the car of the elevator is changed, and a record is created in the elevator operation data 22.
　また、２２ｂは、該当する顧客ビルのビルＩＤ、監視対象のバンクのバンクＩＤ、フロアーを示す情報に、以下のホールの呼びのデータを示す情報が対応づいている。ホールの呼びのデータは、かご着時間（かごの到着時刻）、かご発時間（かごの出発時刻）、呼び方向（利用者が呼び出した際の移動方向を示すもので、ＵＰ＝上昇、ＤＮ＝下降）、呼び種別（呼び出した場所）を含む。２２ｂでは、エレベーターのホール呼び出しボタンが押下された場合は、各ＩＤとボタン押下時間を記録する。そして、呼び出しボタンに応じて到着したエレベーターの着時間とその後の発時間を記録する。さらに、エレベーター内の重量（人と荷物の総量）を荷重計で計測し、記録する。これにより、図８に示すエレベーター運行データ２２にレコードが作成される。また、作成されたレコードは、ネットワークを経由し、データセンター側に定期的に送信される。データセンター側では、通信装置１２を介して受信し、運行人流データ収集装置１４で、待ち時間、人数を追加して、エレベーター運行情報１６を作成し、収集データ記憶部１５に格納する。待ち時間の算出は、ボタン押下時間から着時間を引くことで算出される。人数は、重量を予め定めた平均体重（図８の例では６５ｋｇ）で割ることで算出される。このエレベーター運行情報１６を図９に示す。 In 22b, the building ID of the corresponding customer building, the bank ID of the bank to be monitored, and the information indicating the floor correspond to the information indicating the following hall call data. The hall call data shows the car arrival time (car arrival time), car departure time (car departure time), and call direction (movement direction when the user calls, UP = rise, DN = Includes descending) and calling type (calling location). In 22b, when the hall call button of the elevator is pressed, each ID and the button pressing time are recorded. Then, the arrival time of the elevator that arrived according to the call button and the subsequent departure time are recorded. In addition, the weight inside the elevator (total amount of people and luggage) is measured and recorded with a load meter. As a result, a record is created in the elevator operation data 22 shown in FIG. In addition, the created record is periodically transmitted to the data center side via the network. On the data center side, the data is received via the communication device 12, the operator flow data collecting device 14 adds the waiting time and the number of people, creates the elevator operation information 16, and stores it in the collected data storage unit 15. The waiting time is calculated by subtracting the arrival time from the button pressing time. The number of people is calculated by dividing the weight by a predetermined average weight (65 kg in the example of FIG. 8). The elevator operation information 16 is shown in FIG.
　また、群管理エレベーター１８では、センサ（図示せず）、乗り場カメラ２７、かご内カメラ２８、人流監視装置２９や時計などの計時装置（図示せず）など各種センサを用いて、人流監視データ２６を生成する。群管理エレベーター１８では、予め定めた周期毎に、各フロアーの人数を計測ないし推定する。これは乗り場カメラ２７に撮像された人間の数を認識させる機能を備えたもので、人数をカウントしてもよいし、該当周期内にセキリティゲートつまり人流監視装置２９を通過した人数をカウントしてもよい。そして、乗り場カメラ２７での画像データをこれらと対応付けて図１０に示す人流監視データ２６を生成する。そして、該当周期で作成された人流監視データ２６のレコードが、ネットワークを経由し、データセンター側に送信されるが、データセンター側から収集しても構わない。なお、図１０では各フロアーでの計測時間（周期）が一致しているが、これらをずらしてもよい。ずらした場合、計測時間が一致した場合に比較して、ネットワークでの通信量が平準化される。また、計測時間を一致させても、送信タイミングをずらすことで平準化を図っても構わない。データセンター側では、通信装置１２を介して受信し、運行人流データ収集装置１４で、待ち人数を作成するための一次格納データを作成する。各フロアーのそれまでの累計の待ち人数と、累計の計測回数を記録する。これは、初期値をそれぞれ０として、人流監視データ２６の受信ごとに受信したデータ分を追加（和する）ことで作成される。そして、新たに送信される人流監視データを一次格納データから、待ち人数を算出する。つまり、一次格納データの計測回数を＋１し、新たに送信された人流監視データの待ち人数を一次格納データの待ち人数に足し、この待ち人数を計測回数で割ることで待ち人数を算出する。図１１のフロアーが１階(以下、単に１）の例では、結果として（１０＋０＋０）÷３で３．３人と算出される。なお、処理の高速化のために本実施例では一次格納データを利用したが、各フロアーの総人数と計測回数をカウントし、計算してもよい。図１１に示すこのようにして算出された人流監視情報１７を収集データ記憶部１５に格納する。この人流監視情報１７は人流監視情報部分１７－１、待ち人数部分１７－２、一次格納データ部分１７－３で構成される。 Further, in the group management elevator 18, various sensors such as a sensor (not shown), a landing camera 27, a camera in the car 28, a person flow monitoring device 29, a time measuring device such as a clock (not shown) are used, and the person flow monitoring data 26 To generate. The group management elevator 18 measures or estimates the number of people on each floor at each predetermined cycle. This is equipped with a function of recognizing the number of humans imaged by the landing camera 27, and the number of people may be counted, or the number of people who have passed through the security gate, that is, the human flow monitoring device 29 within the corresponding cycle is counted. May be good. Then, the image data from the landing camera 27 is associated with these to generate the person flow monitoring data 26 shown in FIG. Then, the record of the person flow monitoring data 26 created in the corresponding cycle is transmitted to the data center side via the network, but it may be collected from the data center side. Although the measurement times (cycles) on each floor are the same in FIG. 10, they may be shifted. When they are shifted, the amount of communication on the network is leveled as compared with the case where the measurement times match. Further, even if the measurement times are matched, the leveling may be achieved by shifting the transmission timing. On the data center side, the data is received via the communication device 12, and the operator flow data collection device 14 creates the primary storage data for creating the number of people waiting. Record the cumulative number of people waiting on each floor and the cumulative number of measurements. This is created by setting the initial value to 0 and adding (summing) the received data for each reception of the human flow monitoring data 26. Then, the number of people waiting for the newly transmitted person flow monitoring data is calculated from the primary storage data. That is, the number of times of measurement of the primary stored data is incremented by 1, the number of people waiting for the newly transmitted human flow monitoring data is added to the number of people waiting for the primary stored data, and the number of people waiting is divided by the number of times of measurement to calculate the number of people waiting. In the example where the floor of FIG. 11 is the first floor (hereinafter, simply 1), as a result, (10 + 0 + 0) ÷ 3 is calculated as 3.3 people. Although the primary storage data is used in this embodiment to speed up the processing, the total number of people on each floor and the number of measurements may be counted and calculated. The person flow monitoring information 17 calculated in this way shown in FIG. 11 is stored in the collected data storage unit 15. The person flow monitoring information 17 is composed of a person flow monitoring information part 17-1, a waiting number part 17-2, and a primary storage data part 17-3.
　なお、本実施例では、エレベーター運行データ２２と人流監視データ２６からエレベーター運行情報１６と人流監視情報１７をそれぞれ作成し、収集データ記憶部に格納する構成とした。しかし、これらをエレベーター運行データ２２と人流監視データ２６のままとし、サーバ処理部５で後述する顧客端末２、技術員端末４に提示する際に、それぞれエレベーター運行情報１６と人流監視情報１７作成する構成としてもよい。 In this embodiment, the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17 are created from the elevator operation data 22 and the person flow monitoring data 26, respectively, and stored in the collected data storage unit. However, these are left as the elevator operation data 22 and the person flow monitoring data 26, and when the server processing unit 5 presents them to the customer terminal 2 and the technician terminal 4, which will be described later, the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17 are created, respectively. May be.
　次に、図１２のフローチャートを用いて、顧客端末２、技術員端末４に運行状況を提示、つまり、表示させる処理を説明する。この処理は、サーバ処理部５で実行される。 Next, using the flowchart of FIG. 12, a process of presenting the operation status to the customer terminal 2 and the technician terminal 4, that is, displaying the operation status will be described. This process is executed by the server processing unit 5.
　図３の開始ボタン１０２に対する押下を検知することで運行状況表示処理を開始する。 The operation status display process is started by detecting the pressing of the start button 102 in FIG.
　まず、Ｓ１０１において、シミュレーションモードで実行するかを判断する。具体的には、ユーザが指定された期間の、運行状況を確認する場合つまり、図３のシミュレーションモードで実行１１２を非選択状態とされた場合には、NOと判断し、Ｓ１０２に進む。また、ユーザによりシミュレーションモードで実行１１２を選択状態にされた場合、YESと判断し、Ｓ１０３に進む。 First, in S101, it is determined whether to execute in the simulation mode. Specifically, when the user confirms the operation status during the specified period, that is, when the execution 112 is set to the non-selected state in the simulation mode of FIG. 3, NO is determined and the process proceeds to S102. Further, when the user selects the execution 112 in the simulation mode, it is determined as YES and the process proceeds to S103.
　次にＳ１０２において、かごの運転方向や乗車人数、かご内からの呼び出し等の運転状態を更新する。また、Ｓ１０４では、乗り場毎の混雑状況と運行シミュレーションの実施結果を表示する。乗り場の混雑状況とは、混雑度および長待ち率を含む。 Next, in S102, the driving direction of the car, the number of passengers, the driving state such as calling from inside the car are updated. Further, in S104, the congestion status for each landing and the execution result of the operation simulation are displayed. The congestion status of the landing includes the degree of congestion and the long waiting rate.
　まず、混雑度の算出について説明する。混雑度とは、利用者が乗り場ボタンを押してから、かごが到着するまでの待ち時間を表したもので、以下の計算で求められる。エレベーター運行情報１６の各フロアーの待ち時間の総和を計算し、レコード数（待ち時間の数）で割ることで算出される。図１３に示す例（３１）は、図９に示すエレベーター運行情報１６のフロアーが１については、待ち時間がそれぞれ１０と２９であるので、この総和が３９と計算される。そして、これをレコード数の２で割ることで１９．５が算出される。なお、このデータは、エレベーター運行情報１６として記憶されてもよいし、ビルマスタ情報９や人流監視情報１７として記憶されてもよい。 First, the calculation of the degree of congestion will be explained. The degree of congestion represents the waiting time from when the user presses the landing button until the car arrives, and is calculated by the following calculation. It is calculated by calculating the total waiting time of each floor of the elevator operation information 16 and dividing by the number of records (the number of waiting times). In the example (31) shown in FIG. 13, when the floor of the elevator operation information 16 shown in FIG. 9 is 1, the waiting time is 10 and 29, respectively, so the total is calculated as 39. Then, 19.5 is calculated by dividing this by 2 of the number of records. This data may be stored as elevator operation information 16, or may be stored as building master information 9 or person flow monitoring information 17.
　次に、長待ち率とは、エレベーターを呼び出してから到着まで一定時間（例えば、６０秒）以上掛かる割合を示すものであり、以下の計算で求められる。エレベーター運行情報１６の各フロアーのレコード数（呼び出し回数）を計測し、そのうち待ち時間から前記の一定時間以上掛かったレコード数（呼び出し回数）を計測し、その割合を算出する。図９に示すエレベーター運行情報１６のフロアーが１については、待ち時間が６０秒以上のレコードがないため、０となる。また、フロアーが１５階(図面では単に１５と表記）ではレコード数が２であり、うち待ち時間が６０秒以上の１レコード（９０秒）あるため、１÷２で５０％と計算される。このように計算された乗り場混雑状況が更新される。 Next, the long waiting rate indicates the rate at which it takes a certain period of time (for example, 60 seconds) or more from calling the elevator to arrival, and is calculated by the following calculation. The number of records (number of calls) on each floor of the elevator operation information 16 is measured, and the number of records (number of calls) that took more than a certain time from the waiting time is measured and the ratio is calculated. When the floor of the elevator operation information 16 shown in FIG. 9 is 1, it is 0 because there is no record having a waiting time of 60 seconds or more. Further, when the floor is the 15th floor (simply expressed as 15 in the drawing), the number of records is 2, and since there is one record (90 seconds) having a waiting time of 60 seconds or more, it is calculated as 50% by 1/2. The landing congestion status calculated in this way is updated.
　また、運行シミュレーションを実施するために、図３に示す運行シミュレーションモードで実行１１２が選択状態にされた場合、Ｓ１０３において、後述するような顧客端末２、技術員端末４の入力に応じたシミュレーションを実行し、運行シミュレーションを算出する。運行シミュレーションの結果は、エレベーター運行情報１６と同様の構造であり、エレベーター運行情報１６を入力に応じて変化させた結果である。 Further, in order to carry out the operation simulation, when the execution 112 is selected in the operation simulation mode shown in FIG. 3, in S103, the simulation according to the input of the customer terminal 2 and the technician terminal 4 as described later is executed. And calculate the operation simulation. The result of the operation simulation has the same structure as the elevator operation information 16, and is the result of changing the elevator operation information 16 according to the input.
　そして、Ｓ１０４において、Ｓ１０２とＳ１０３の結果を、顧客端末２、技術員端末４に表示させる。具体的な表示の内容は、図３に示すとおりである。図３に示すように、人流監視情報１７に含まれる待ち人数も乗り場混雑状況欄１０６として表示させてもよい。また、この表示では、各フロアー、すなわち、図３の「かご位置・運転方向」毎に、乗り場混雑状況欄１０６と運行シミュレーション欄１０９と対比可能なように表示させる。 Then, in S104, the results of S102 and S103 are displayed on the customer terminal 2 and the technician terminal 4. The specific contents of the display are as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the number of people waiting included in the traffic monitoring information 17 may also be displayed as the landing congestion status column 106. Further, in this display, each floor, that is, each "car position / driving direction" in FIG. 3, is displayed so as to be able to be compared with the landing congestion status column 106 and the operation simulation column 109.
　また、Ｓ１０５において、乗り場混雑状況欄１０６と運行シミュレーション欄１０９の状況を確認する。つまり、混雑度評価基準値と混雑度を比較して、その状況に応じた色での表示を行うための判断を実施する。本実施例では、出勤時、昼食時（混雑が予想）と、平常時を分けて混雑度評価基準値を設けている。その混雑度評価基準値は図３に示すとおりである。 Also, in S105, the status of the landing congestion status column 106 and the operation simulation column 109 is confirmed. That is, the congestion degree evaluation reference value and the congestion degree are compared, and a judgment is made to display in a color according to the situation. In this embodiment, the congestion degree evaluation standard value is set separately for the time of going to work, the time of lunch (expected congestion), and the normal time. The congestion degree evaluation reference value is as shown in FIG.
　そして、Ｓ１０５で注意ないし良好と判断された場合には、Ｓ１０６に進み、該当する表示態様（色、文字形状、大きさなど）で乗り場混雑状況欄１０６と運行シミュレーション欄１０９を表示する。図３の例では、かご位置・運転方向が１０は、注意の態様で表示される。 Then, if it is judged to be careful or good in S105, the process proceeds to S106, and the landing congestion status column 106 and the operation simulation column 109 are displayed in the corresponding display modes (color, character shape, size, etc.). In the example of FIG. 3, the car position / driving direction of 10 is displayed in the mode of caution.
　また、Ｓ１０５で悪化と判断された場合には、Ｓ１０７に進み、該当する表示態様（色、文字形状、大きさなど）で表示されるとともに、動画ボタン１０８や詳細ボタン１１０を表示させる。つまり、これらのボタン機能をアクティベートする。図３の例では、かご位置・運転方向が１の場合である。なお、動画ボタン１０８や詳細ボタン１１０は少なくとも一方があればよい。 If it is determined in S105 that the deterioration is deteriorated, the process proceeds to S107, and the display mode (color, character shape, size, etc.) is displayed, and the moving image button 108 and the detail button 110 are displayed. That is, it activates these button functions. In the example of FIG. 3, the car position / driving direction is 1. It is sufficient that there is at least one of the moving image button 108 and the detail button 110.
　そして、動画ボタン１０８や詳細ボタン１１０が選択された場合、Ｓ１０８において、該当フロアーの乗り場カメラ２７で撮影された動画データを表示させたり、エレベーター運行情報１６や人流監視情報１７の内容を表示させたりする。また、該当フロアーに最も近いエレベーターのかご内カメラ２８の動画データを表示させるようにしてもよい。さらに、動画データでなく、静止画データなどの画像を表示させてもよい。 Then, when the moving image button 108 or the detail button 110 is selected, in S108, the moving image data taken by the platform camera 27 on the corresponding floor is displayed, or the contents of the elevator operation information 16 and the person flow monitoring information 17 are displayed. To do. Further, the moving image data of the camera 28 in the car of the elevator closest to the corresponding floor may be displayed. Further, an image such as still image data may be displayed instead of the moving image data.
　なお、本実施例では、フロアーごとに乗り場混雑状況欄１０６と運行シミュレーション欄１０９を作成、表示した。但し、エレベーター運行情報１６や人流監視情報１７のバンクＩＤを用いてバンク毎に同様の処理を行い、乗り場混雑状況欄１０６と運行シミュレーション欄１０９を作成、生成してもよい。この場合、混雑度や長待ち率は、図１４に示すとおりの内容となる（３２）。また、バンク毎のデータを図５に示す混雑度人流モニタの形式、つまり、バンク毎にその状況を表示させてもよい。さらに、図６に示すように、シミュレーションの結果を表示させてもよい。これらについては、後述する。なお、このデータは、エレベーター運行情報１６として記憶されてもよいし、ビルマスタ情報９や人流監視情報１７として記憶されてもよい。 In this embodiment, a platform congestion status column 106 and an operation simulation column 109 were created and displayed for each floor. However, the same processing may be performed for each bank using the bank IDs of the elevator operation information 16 and the traffic monitoring information 17, and the landing congestion status column 106 and the operation simulation column 109 may be created and generated. In this case, the degree of congestion and the long waiting rate are as shown in FIG. 14 (32). Further, the data for each bank may be displayed in the form of the congestion degree crowd monitor shown in FIG. 5, that is, the status may be displayed for each bank. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the simulation result may be displayed. These will be described later. This data may be stored as elevator operation information 16, or may be stored as building master information 9 or person flow monitoring information 17.
　次に、図７のＳ３の説明に移る。まず、Ｓ３で用いる図４は、エレベーターの使い勝手仕様や運行制御に関する仕様を変更する場合に図３のエレベーター運行状況表示画面下部の運行仕様設定ボタン１１１を選択することで遷移するエレベーター運行仕様設定画面である。つまり、シミュレーションを行う場合の条件設定画面である。顧客１が顧客端末２を使用し、発生している混雑に対して群管理エレベーターの使い勝手仕様に関する設定項目を変更することで、対応可能な場合に使用される（Ｓ３）。また、運行状態の解析結果から推奨する設定項目がある場合にシステムにて該当項目の選択肢の背景色を変更して初期表示される（２０１の欄）。なお、技術員３が技術員端末４を使用して設定する場合には、前述の顧客端末２に表示する使い勝手仕様項目に加えて、エレベーターの運行制御に関する項目を表示、より高度な設定が可能となっている。 Next, move on to the explanation of S3 in FIG. First, FIG. 4 used in S3 shows an elevator operation specification setting screen that transitions by selecting the operation specification setting button 111 at the bottom of the elevator operation status display screen of FIG. 3 when changing the elevator usability specifications or the specifications related to operation control. Is. That is, it is a condition setting screen when performing a simulation. It is used when the customer 1 uses the customer terminal 2 and can deal with the congestion that is occurring by changing the setting items related to the usability specifications of the group management elevator (S3). In addition, if there is a recommended setting item from the analysis result of the operating state, the background color of the option of the corresponding item is changed in the system and initially displayed (column 201). When the technician 3 uses the technician terminal 4 to make settings, in addition to the usability specification items displayed on the customer terminal 2 described above, items related to elevator operation control are displayed, enabling more advanced settings. ing.
　顧客１が図４の使い勝手仕様に関する設定項目を変更後、エレベーターに適用する前に事前に混雑度の低減効果を確認したい場合、運行シミュレーションを使用して確認が可能である。操作手順としては、図４のエレベーター運行仕様設定画面から現在の設定状態をエレベーター運行仕様設定情報１０に保存する。そして、図３のエレベーター運行状況画面から、シミュレーションモードで実行１１２が選択後、開始ボタン１０２が選択されることで群管理運行制御模擬装置１１にて運行シミュレーションを実行する。なお、シミュレーターは、特許文献３で提案されたエレベーターシミュレーターなどを利用する。シミュレーション実行中は、図３の１１３にシミュレーションで動作していること表す状態を表示、運行シミュレーション欄１０９に混雑度、長待ち率を算出表示する（Ｓ４）。また、前述１０６の乗り場混雑状況欄において、混雑度が注意以上のフロアーについては、改善予測欄に詳細ボタン１１０を表示する。そして、本ボタンが選択されることで図６の乗り場混雑度予測画面に遷移し、現状の混雑度４０１とシミュレーション実施後の混雑度予測値４０２（改善後）を上下に並べて比較できるように表示される（Ｓ５）。 If customer 1 wants to confirm the effect of reducing congestion in advance after changing the setting items related to the usability specifications in FIG. 4 and before applying it to the elevator, it can be confirmed by using the operation simulation. As an operation procedure, the current setting state is saved in the elevator operation specification setting information 10 from the elevator operation specification setting screen of FIG. Then, from the elevator operation status screen of FIG. 3, after the execution 112 is selected in the simulation mode, the start button 102 is selected to execute the operation simulation in the group management operation control simulation device 11. The simulator uses the elevator simulator or the like proposed in Patent Document 3. During the execution of the simulation, the state indicating that the simulation is operating is displayed in 113 of FIG. 3, and the congestion degree and the long waiting rate are calculated and displayed in the operation simulation column 109 (S4). Further, in the above-mentioned 106 landing congestion status column, the detail button 110 is displayed in the improvement prediction column for the floor whose congestion degree is more than caution. Then, when this button is selected, the screen changes to the landing congestion degree prediction screen shown in FIG. 6, and the current congestion degree 401 and the congestion degree prediction value 402 (after improvement) after the simulation are displayed so that they can be compared side by side. Is done (S5).
　図６に比較表示する混雑に関連した指標については、混雑度の他に長待ち率、乗り場待ち人数などを表示しても良い。ここで、図６でも図５と同様に、混雑度を以下のとおり表示してもよい。本例では、人型の表示について、良好、注意、悪化のエリアを分けて表示しているが、人型自体の表示を変更してもよい。例えば、色や大きさ、形状を変えてもよい。さらに、混雑度の秒数の表示は、算出する指標の単位により変更してもよい。 For the indicators related to congestion displayed in comparison with FIG. 6, in addition to the degree of congestion, the long waiting rate, the number of people waiting for the landing, etc. may be displayed. Here, in FIG. 6, as in FIG. 5, the degree of congestion may be displayed as follows. In this example, the humanoid display is divided into good, caution, and worse areas, but the humanoid display itself may be changed. For example, the color, size, and shape may be changed. Further, the display of the number of seconds of the degree of congestion may be changed depending on the unit of the index to be calculated.
　その後、顧客１がシミュレーションによる混雑予測値を図６などで確認し、運行仕様変更による改善が可能と判断した場合、図４のエレベーター運行仕様設定画面から同一条件で設定内容送信ボタン２０２を選択する。このことで、運行制御設定装置１３から通信網に接続された通信装置１２を通じて群管理エレベーター１８に対して設定することが可能である（Ｓ６）。 After that, when customer 1 confirms the congestion prediction value by simulation in FIG. 6 or the like and determines that improvement by changing the operation specification is possible, the setting content transmission button 202 is selected from the elevator operation specification setting screen in FIG. 4 under the same conditions. .. As a result, it is possible to set the group management elevator 18 from the operation control setting device 13 through the communication device 12 connected to the communication network (S6).
　顧客１は、以下のＳ４、Ｓ５の場合、エレベーター保守会社に調査を依頼することになる（Ｓ７）。その内容は、顧客端末２に表示される、図４のエレベーター運行仕様設定画面の使い勝手仕様に関する項目の変更だけでは対応不可の場合や（Ｓ４）、運行シミュレーションの結果を確認し、運行改善が見込めない場合（Ｓ５）である。 Customer 1 will request an elevator maintenance company to investigate in the following cases S4 and S5 (S7). The contents may not be supported only by changing the items related to the usability specifications of the elevator operation specification setting screen of FIG. 4 displayed on the customer terminal 2 (S4), or the result of the operation simulation can be confirmed and the operation can be improved. If not (S5).
　調査依頼を受けたエレベーター保守会社では、技術員３が技術員端末４を使用し、図３のエレベーター運行状況画面から混雑状況を確認し、運行データ、人流監視データを解析することになる。また、特許文献１で提案された、エレベーター運行線図描画機能などを用いることでより詳細な解析が可能である。その後、図４エレベーター運行仕様設定画面から運行制御に関する設定項目を変更し、図３のエレベーター運行状況画面から運行シミュレーションを実施し、改善後の混雑度、長待ち率などの評価指標を確認する（Ｓ９）。 At the elevator maintenance company that received the survey request, the technician 3 uses the technician terminal 4, confirms the congestion status from the elevator operation status screen in FIG. 3, and analyzes the operation data and the flow monitoring data. Further, more detailed analysis can be performed by using the elevator operation diagram drawing function proposed in Patent Document 1. After that, the setting items related to operation control are changed from the elevator operation specification setting screen in Fig. 4, and the operation simulation is performed from the elevator operation status screen in Fig. 3, and the evaluation indexes such as the congestion degree and the long waiting rate after improvement are confirmed ( S9).
　シミュレーションの結果を受けて図４のエレベーター運行仕様設定画面で変更した内容で混雑が改善できると判断した場合、顧客１にその対策内容を提案する（Ｓ１０）。
シミュレーションの結果については、技術員３が顧客１対して技術員端末４を使用して改善後予測後の運行状況を確認して頂く。その後、その内容で同意を頂いた場合は、図４のエレベーター運行仕様設定画面から設定内容送信ボタン２０２を選択することで、運行制御設定装置１３から通信網に接続された通信装置１２を通じて群管理エレベーター１８に設定する（Ｓ１２）。従来、エレベーター適用後の運行状態の監視については、エレベーターの運行状態や乗り場やかごの利用人数など、現地にて数週間程度調査を実施していた。しかし、本実施例では、エレベーター保守会社の事務所などから図３のエレベーター運行状況画面から継続した確認が可能となる（Ｓ１３）。 When it is determined that the congestion can be improved by the contents changed on the elevator operation specification setting screen of FIG. 4 based on the result of the simulation, the countermeasure contents are proposed to the customer 1 (S10).
Regarding the result of the simulation, the technician 3 asks the customer 1 to confirm the operation status after improvement and prediction using the technician terminal 4. After that, if consent is obtained for the contents, by selecting the setting contents transmission button 202 from the elevator operation specification setting screen of FIG. 4, group management is performed from the operation control setting device 13 through the communication device 12 connected to the communication network. Set to the elevator 18 (S12). In the past, regarding the monitoring of the operating status after applying the elevator, a survey was conducted on-site for several weeks, such as the operating status of the elevator and the number of people using the platform and car. However, in this embodiment, continuous confirmation is possible from the elevator operation status screen of FIG. 3 from the office of an elevator maintenance company or the like (S13).
　以上の本実施形態によれば、ビル管理会社やビルオーナーが管理するビルのエレベーターが混雑し、運行改善が必要な場合に、乗り場やかごの混雑状況を所有する端末に表示し、混雑の原因に応じた最適な運行制御の設定を遠隔地から可能になる。 According to the above embodiment, when the elevator of a building managed by a building management company or a building owner is congested and it is necessary to improve the operation, the congestion status of the landing or the car is displayed on the owning terminal to cause the congestion. It is possible to set the optimum operation control according to the situation from a remote location.
