 鉄道車両の運行において、利用客が少なく、運行する車両編成が短い路線には、運転士一人によるワンマン運転が採用されている。労働人口の減少に伴う人口動態から鉄道員自体も減少するトレンドの中で、各鉄道事業者はワンマン運転を適用する路線や編成車両数を増やす方針を採っている。しかしながら、編成車両数を増やすと運転士一人による安全確認作業の負担が重くなり、見落としによる事故が発生しやすくなることが懸念される。 In the operation of railway vehicles, one-man operation by one driver is adopted for routes with few passengers and short train formations. In the trend of decreasing railroad workers themselves due to demographics due to the decrease in the working population, each railway operator has adopted a policy of increasing the number of routes and trains to which one-man operation is applied. However, if the number of trains is increased, the burden of safety confirmation work by one driver becomes heavy, and there is a concern that accidents due to oversight are likely to occur.
 従来、ワンマン運転を支援するために、各駅のプラットホームに設置したカメラ及びモニタ、あるいはミラーを用いて乗客の乗降状況を確認するシステムが利用されている。また、列車側にカメラ及びモニタを設置する車側カメラシステムもあり、インフラ設備に対する保守が不要なことから近年広まってきている。例えば、特許文献1には、閉扉に異常が検出されたドアの様子を車内モニタで映像確認できるようにした監視システムが開示されている。 Conventionally, in order to support one-man operation, a system for checking passengers' boarding / alighting status using cameras and monitors installed on the platform of each station or mirrors has been used. In addition, there is also a car-side camera system in which a camera and a monitor are installed on the train side, which has become widespread in recent years because maintenance of infrastructure equipment is not required. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a monitoring system that enables an image of a door in which an abnormality is detected in a closed door to be confirmed on an in-vehicle monitor.

 図1には、従来例に係る監視システムの構成例を示してある。図1において、列車の各車両10-1~10-4は、それぞれ、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ11(A)と、これとは逆方向を向いたカメラ11(B)とを車体両側に有すると共に、列車内ネットワークを構築するための中継装置12を備えている。また、列車両端の車両10-1,10-4にある運転台には、各車両のカメラ映像を表示する2台の表示装置13(A),13(B)と、車両側又は上位システムから得られる車両情報15に基づいて表示装置13の表示ON/OFFなどを制御する制御装置14とが搭載されている。車両情報15としては、ドア開扉信号や速度検知信号などが挙げられる。ドア開扉信号は、ドアが開扉されたことを示す信号であり、開扉された側(本明細書では、列車の進行方向に対して左側を山側、右側を海側と表現する。)の情報も含まれる。速度検知信号は、列車の速度が所定値(例えば、5kph)以上になったことを示す信号である。 FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a monitoring system according to a conventional example. In FIG. 1, each vehicle 10-1 to 10-4 of a train has a camera 11 (A) facing in the direction of travel of the train and a camera 11 (B) facing in the opposite direction on both sides of the vehicle body. It also has a relay device 12 for constructing an in-train network. Further, in the cabs of the vehicles 10-1 and 10-4 at both ends of the train, two display devices 13 (A) and 13 (B) for displaying camera images of each vehicle, and from the vehicle side or a higher system A control device 14 that controls display ON / OFF of the display device 13 based on the obtained vehicle information 15 is mounted. Examples of the vehicle information 15 include a door opening signal and a speed detection signal. The door opening signal is a signal indicating that the door has been opened, and the side on which the door is opened (in this specification, the left side is expressed as the mountain side and the right side is expressed as the sea side with respect to the traveling direction of the train). Information is also included. The speed detection signal is a signal indicating that the speed of the train has reached a predetermined value (for example, 5 kph) or more.
 列車の走行中は表示装置13によるカメラ映像の表示が停止されており、列車が駅に停車した後、ドア開扉操作が行われてドア開扉信号がONになったタイミングで、開扉された側のカメラ映像の表示が開始される。運転士は、乗客の乗降を表示装置13により確認した後にドア閉扉操作を行い、特に問題なければ列車の走行を開始する。その後、速度検知信号がONになったタイミングで、表示装置13によるカメラ映像の表示が停止される。つまり、カメラ映像は運転の妨げになるので、列車の走行時には基本的に表示装置13に何も表示されないようにする。 While the train is running, the display of the camera image by the display device 13 is stopped, and after the train stops at the station, the door is opened at the timing when the door opening operation is performed and the door opening signal is turned on. The display of the camera image on the other side starts. After confirming the passengers getting on and off by the display device 13, the driver closes the door and starts running the train if there is no particular problem. After that, when the speed detection signal is turned on, the display of the camera image by the display device 13 is stopped. That is, since the camera image interferes with the operation, basically nothing is displayed on the display device 13 when the train is running.
 駅プラットホームでのドア開閉時には、開扉した側にある2台のカメラ11(A),11(B)のうち、列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いたカメラ映像11(B)を表示装置13に表示する。運転台には表示装置13(A),13(B)の2台しかないため、それらの表示領域を分割して全車両10-1~10-4のカメラ映像を一括で表示する。図1の列車は4両編成なので表示装置1台あたり2分割すればよく、6両編成であれば3分割すればよい。現在は、ワンマン運転は最大5両編成までしか許容されていないので、最大分割は3分割である。ここで、列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いたカメラ映像のみを表示するのは、表示装置13の解像度やサイズに限界があるためである。ワンマン運行の対象となる編成車両数が増加する場合、表示領域をより多く分割させることが考えられるが、カメラ映像の表示サイズが小さくなってしまうので、見落としの増加が懸念される。 When opening and closing the door on the station platform, the display device 13 displays the camera image 11 (B) facing the direction opposite to the train traveling direction among the two cameras 11 (A) and 11 (B) on the opened side. Display on. Since there are only two display devices 13 (A) and 13 (B) in the driver's cab, the display areas are divided and the camera images of all vehicles 10-1 to 10-4 are displayed at once. Since the train in FIG. 1 is a 4-car train, it may be divided into two for each display device, and for a 6-car train, it may be divided into three. Currently, one-man operation is only allowed for a maximum of 5 cars, so the maximum division is 3 divisions. Here, the reason why only the camera image facing the direction opposite to the train traveling direction is displayed is that the resolution and size of the display device 13 are limited. When the number of trains to be operated by one-man operation increases, it is conceivable to divide the display area more, but the display size of the camera image becomes smaller, so there is a concern that oversight will increase.
 従来方式では、ドア開扉信号ONから速度検知信号ONまでの期間のみ、表示装置13にカメラ映像が表示される。しかしながら、上記以外の期間の事故、例えば、ドア開扉前のプラットホーム入線時に乗客が車両に接触する事故や、ドア閉扉時にドアに挟まれた乗客がそのまま引き摺られる事故などが発生する可能性もあるため、列車走行時にも安全確認を実施することが望ましい。ツーマン運転では実際に、プラットホーム入線時や出線時に車掌がプラットホーム上の安全の確認を行っている。しかしながら、ワンマン運転の運転士は、列車の走行時は前方の線路やプラットホームの状態の安全確認、力行、ブレーキ操作といった複数の業務を行う必要があるため、列車走行中に複数のカメラ映像を見て安全確認を行うのは負担が大きい。 In the conventional method, the camera image is displayed on the display device 13 only during the period from the door opening signal ON to the speed detection signal ON. However, accidents during periods other than the above, such as accidents in which passengers come into contact with the vehicle when entering the platform before the door opens, and accidents in which passengers caught in the door are dragged as they are when the door is closed, may occur. Therefore, it is desirable to carry out safety confirmation even when the train is running. In one-man operation, the conductor actually confirms the safety on the platform when entering or leaving the platform. However, a one-man driver needs to perform multiple tasks such as checking the safety of the track and platform in front of the train, power running, and braking when the train is running, so he sees multiple camera images while the train is running. It is a heavy burden to check the safety.
 本発明は、上記のような従来の事情に鑑みて為されたものであり、列車走行中における運転士の業務負担の増大を抑えつつ、危険が生じた場合に速やかに運転士が把握することが可能な監視システムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and the driver can promptly grasp when a danger occurs while suppressing an increase in the work load of the driver while the train is running. The purpose is to provide a monitoring system capable of.

The danger detection process may be performed based on the image of the second camera, and the danger detection process may be performed based on the image of the second camera at the time of departure.

 本発明の一実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
 図2には、本発明の一実施形態に係る監視システムの構成例を示してある。図2において、列車の各車両20-1~20-4は、それぞれ、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ21(A)と、これとは逆方向を向いたカメラ21(B)とを車体両側に有すると共に、列車内ネットワークを構築するための中継装置22を備えている。また、列車両端の車両20-1,20-4にある運転台には、各車両のカメラ映像を表示する2台の表示装置23(A),23(B)と、車両側又は上位システムから得られる車両情報25に基づいて表示装置23の表示ON/OFFなどを制御する制御装置24とが搭載されている。車両情報25としては、従来例と同様に、ドア開扉信号や速度検知信号などが挙げられる。本例は4両編成の列車となっているが、編成車両数は任意である。また、本例では先頭車両20-1の表示装置23のみを稼働させるが、末尾車両20-4の表示装置23も追加で稼働させても構わない。
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the monitoring system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, each vehicle 20-1 to 20-4 of the train has a camera 21 (A) facing the train traveling direction and a camera 21 (B) facing the opposite direction on both sides of the vehicle body. It also has a relay device 22 for constructing an in-train network. In addition, the cabs on the vehicles 20-1 and 20-4 at both ends of the train have two display devices 23 (A) and 23 (B) that display camera images of each vehicle, and from the vehicle side or the host system. A control device 24 that controls display ON / OFF of the display device 23 based on the obtained vehicle information 25 is mounted. Examples of the vehicle information 25 include a door opening signal, a speed detection signal, and the like, as in the conventional example. This example is a 4-car train, but the number of trains is arbitrary. Further, in this example, only the display device 23 of the leading vehicle 20-1 is operated, but the display device 23 of the trailing vehicle 20-4 may be additionally operated.
 更に、本例の監視システムでは、車両20-1~20-4の各々に、その車両のカメラ映像を解析する解析装置26が搭載されている。解析装置26は、自身の車両がプラットホームの区間に位置する場合に、自身の車両のカメラ映像を解析して危険検知処理を行い、危険を検知した場合には表示装置23に危険検知信号を表示装置23に送信する。危険検知処理では、例えば、ディープラーニング技術を用いて画像内のどの座標に人物や異物などの物体が存在するかを判定し、その物体の位置と車両側面との位置関係に基づいて危険物か否かを判定する。画像内における車両側面は、事前情報として設定しておいてもよいし、ディープラーニングにより認識するようにしてもよい。 Further, in the monitoring system of this example, an analysis device 26 for analyzing the camera image of the vehicle is mounted on each of the vehicles 20-1 to 20-4. When the own vehicle is located in the platform section, the analysis device 26 analyzes the camera image of the own vehicle to perform the danger detection process, and when the danger is detected, the analysis device 26 displays the danger detection signal on the display device 23. It is transmitted to the device 23. In the danger detection process, for example, deep learning technology is used to determine at which coordinates in the image an object such as a person or a foreign object exists, and whether the object is a dangerous object based on the positional relationship between the position of the object and the side surface of the vehicle. Judge whether or not. The side surface of the vehicle in the image may be set as prior information or may be recognized by deep learning.
 表示装置23は通常、列車が駅に停車中の場合に各車両20-1~20-4のカメラ映像を分割表示するので、運転士は乗客の安全を映像で確認することができる。一方、列車の走行中(駅のプラットホームに対する列車の入線時や出線時を含む)は、運転の妨げにならないように基本的にカメラ表示が停止されるが、表示装置23が解析装置26から危険検知信号を受信した場合には、カメラ映像を例外的に表示して危険の発生を運転士に報せる。このとき、図3Aに示すように、危険が検知されたカメラ映像の周囲を赤枠31で囲んだり、図3Bに示すように、カメラ映像内の危険が検知された範囲を赤枠32で囲んだりして強調表示することで、危険の発生を運転士に分かり易く報せることが好ましい。 Since the display device 23 normally displays the camera images of each vehicle 20-1 to 20-4 separately when the train is stopped at the station, the driver can confirm the safety of the passengers on the image. On the other hand, while the train is running (including when the train enters and leaves the platform of the station), the camera display is basically stopped so as not to interfere with the operation, but the display device 23 is from the analysis device 26. When a danger detection signal is received, the camera image is exceptionally displayed to notify the driver of the occurrence of danger. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the area around the camera image in which the danger is detected is surrounded by the red frame 31, and as shown in FIG. 3B, the range in which the danger is detected is surrounded by the red frame 32. It is preferable to inform the driver of the occurrence of danger in an easy-to-understand manner by highlighting it in a sluggish manner.
 ここで、カメラ映像の表示を行う際に、解析装置26で再エンコードした映像を扱うとなると、撮像から映像表示までの遅延が大きくなってしまう。これは、リアルタイム性が要求される危険検知には好ましくない。そこで、各カメラ21は、表示用の映像を表示装置23に直接伝送する。また、カメラ21は、これと同時に自車両の解析装置26に解析用の映像を伝送する。解析装置26は、解析用の映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行い、危険が検知されたカメラ映像の識別情報や映像内の座標情報など、必要最小限の情報を含む危険検知信号を表示装置23に送信する。表示装置23は、解析装置26からの危険検知信号に基づいて、カメラ映像の表示を制御する。これにより、危険の発生を速やかに検知し、その映像をリアルタイムに運転士に確認させることが可能となる。 Here, when the image re-encoded by the analysis device 26 is handled when displaying the camera image, the delay from the imaging to the image display becomes large. This is not preferable for danger detection that requires real-time performance. Therefore, each camera 21 directly transmits the display image to the display device 23. At the same time, the camera 21 transmits an image for analysis to the analysis device 26 of the own vehicle. The analysis device 26 performs danger detection processing based on the image for analysis, and displays a danger detection signal including the minimum necessary information such as identification information of the camera image in which the danger is detected and coordinate information in the image. Send to. The display device 23 controls the display of the camera image based on the danger detection signal from the analysis device 26. This makes it possible to promptly detect the occurrence of a danger and have the driver confirm the image in real time.
 以下、本システムのより詳細な動作について、プラットホーム入線時、駅停車時、プラットホーム出線時の各場面に分けて説明する。 Below, the more detailed operation of this system will be explained separately for each scene when entering the platform, stopping at the station, and leaving the platform.
[プラットホーム入線時]
 列車が駅のプラットホームに入線する際、運転士のブレーキ操作を邪魔しないようにカメラ映像の表示は原則行わない。つまり、プラットホーム入線前の段階では表示装置23によるカメラ映像の表示が停止されている。また、各車両の解析装置26による危険検知処理も停止されている。そして、プラットホームに入線した車両の順に、各車両の解析装置26が、自車両のカメラ映像に基づく危険検知処理を開始する(図4参照)。これは、プラットホーム入線前に危険検知処理を開始してしまうと、プラットホームの外にある物体を誤検知してしまう可能性が想定されるためである。
[When entering the platform]
When a train enters the platform of a station, the camera image is not displayed in principle so as not to interfere with the driver's braking operation. That is, the display of the camera image by the display device 23 is stopped at the stage before entering the platform. In addition, the danger detection process by the analysis device 26 of each vehicle is also stopped. Then, the analysis device 26 of each vehicle starts the danger detection process based on the camera image of the own vehicle in the order of the vehicles entering the platform (see FIG. 4). This is because if the danger detection process is started before entering the platform, there is a possibility that an object outside the platform may be erroneously detected.
 プラットホームへの入線は、例えば、“https://www.jreast.co.jp/development/tech/pdf_21/Tech-21-21-26.pdf”に記載の超音波で検知する方法や、車両のキロ程から演算する方法などがある。また、プラットホームを検知するためのホーム検知装置を先頭車両20-1にのみ設けておき、後続する各車両20-2~20-4のプラットホームへの入線は、先頭車両のプラットホーム入線時点からの経過時間や移動距離などにより判定するようにしてもよい。また、GPS(Global Positioning System)などの他の技術を用いて各車両のプラットホームへの入線を検知しても構わず、その手法は問わない。 For example, the method of detecting the entry to the platform by the ultrasonic wave described in "https://www.jreast.co.jp/development/tech/pdf_21/Tech-21-21-26.pdf" or the vehicle There is a method to calculate from about kilograms. In addition, a platform detection device for detecting the platform is provided only in the leading vehicle 20-1, and the subsequent entry into the platform of each vehicle 20-2 to 20-4 is the passage from the time when the leading vehicle enters the platform. The determination may be made based on time, travel distance, or the like. Further, other techniques such as GPS (Global Positioning System) may be used to detect the entry of each vehicle into the platform, and the method is not limited.
 図4の例では、先頭の車両20-1がプラットホームに入線しているので、車両20-1の解析装置26が、車両20-1のカメラ映像に基づく危険検知処理を開始する。解析装置26の処理能力が十分でない場合、処理対象のカメラ映像は、列車進行方向を撮影したカメラ21(A)の映像を標準とする。これは、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ21(A)の映像の方が、逆方向を向いたカメラ21(B)の映像よりも危険を素早く検知できるためである。 In the example of FIG. 4, since the leading vehicle 20-1 is on the platform, the analysis device 26 of the vehicle 20-1 starts the danger detection process based on the camera image of the vehicle 20-1. If the processing capacity of the analysis device 26 is not sufficient, the image of the camera 21 (A) that captures the direction of travel of the train is standard as the image of the camera to be processed. This is because the image of the camera 21 (A) facing the train traveling direction can detect the danger more quickly than the image of the camera 21 (B) facing the opposite direction.
 また、処理対象のカメラ映像は、駅でドアを開扉する側のカメラ映像を標準とする。山側又は海側のどちらにプラットホームがあるかは、例えば、事前にデータベース登録しておくことで容易に判断できる。また、別の例として、ホーム検知装置で判定するようにしてもよいし、カメラ映像の解析により判定(例えば、標識、プラットホームの段差、点字ブロックなどの所定オブジェクトを検出できた側にプラットホームがあると判定)してもよい。また、他の手法で山側又は海側のどちらにプラットホームがあるかを判定しても構わず、その手法は問わない。図4の例では、山側ホーム及び海側ホームの両方のドアが開扉するので、車体両側の列車進行方向のカメラ映像に対して危険検知処理が行われる。 In addition, the standard camera image to be processed is the camera image on the side that opens the door at the station. Whether the platform is on the mountain side or the sea side can be easily determined, for example, by registering the platform in advance in the database. Further, as another example, the determination may be made by the home detection device, or the platform is on the side where a predetermined object such as a sign, a step of the platform, or a Braille block can be detected by analysis of the camera image. It may be determined). Further, it does not matter whether the platform is located on the mountain side or the sea side by another method. In the example of FIG. 4, since the doors of both the mountain side platform and the sea side platform are opened, the danger detection process is performed on the camera images in the train traveling direction on both sides of the vehicle body.
 危険検知処理の結果、車両への乗客接近などの危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26は表示装置23に危険検知信号を送信する。表示装置23は、解析装置26から受信した危険検知信号に基づいて、危険が検知された車両のカメラ映像を表示する(図5参照)。表示対象のカメラ映像は、危険が検知されたカメラ映像と、これに対向する撮影方向のカメラ映像である。すなわち、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ21(A)の映像が表示装置23(A)に表示されると共に、これとは逆方向を向いたカメラ21(B)の映像が表示装置23(B)に表示される。これは、危険が検知されたカメラ映像のみを表示する構成だと、そのカメラが危険発生位置を通過した後は、運転士は状況を何も確認できなくなるためである。 When a danger such as a passenger approaching the vehicle is detected as a result of the danger detection process, the analysis device 26 transmits a danger detection signal to the display device 23. The display device 23 displays a camera image of the vehicle in which the danger is detected based on the danger detection signal received from the analysis device 26 (see FIG. 5). The camera image to be displayed is a camera image in which danger is detected and a camera image in the shooting direction facing the camera image. That is, the image of the camera 21 (A) facing the train traveling direction is displayed on the display device 23 (A), and the image of the camera 21 (B) facing in the opposite direction is displayed on the display device 23 (B). Is displayed in. This is because if the configuration is such that only the camera image in which the danger is detected is displayed, the driver cannot confirm any situation after the camera passes the danger occurrence position.
 ここで、危険と判定された人物や異物などの危険物は、列車の走行に伴って移動(つまり、列車に引き摺られて移動)する移動物と、移動しない固定物とに大別することができる。危険物が固定物の場合は、列車の走行に伴って危険検知する解析装置26(車両)が切り替わっていくので、表示装置23による表示対象のカメラ映像も順に切り替わることになる。一方、危険物が移動物の場合は、同じ解析装置26(車両)で危険検知され続けるので、表示装置23による表示対象のカメラ映像は基本的に切り替わらない。これは、後述するプラットホーム出線時においても同様である。 Here, dangerous objects such as persons and foreign substances judged to be dangerous can be roughly classified into moving objects that move (that is, dragged by the train) as the train travels and fixed objects that do not move. can. When the dangerous object is a fixed object, the analysis device 26 (vehicle) for detecting the danger is switched as the train travels, so that the camera image to be displayed by the display device 23 is also switched in order. On the other hand, when the dangerous object is a moving object, the danger is continuously detected by the same analysis device 26 (vehicle), so that the camera image to be displayed by the display device 23 is basically not switched. This also applies to the platform departure, which will be described later.
[駅停車時]
 列車が駅に停車した後、ドア開扉操作が行われてドア開扉信号がONになったタイミングで、全車両20-1~20-4のカメラ映像の表示が開始される(図6参照)。駅停車時は、ドアが開扉された側で且つ列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いた全車両のカメラ21(B)の映像が表示装置23に分割表示される。列車進行方向とは逆方向のカメラ21(B)の映像を表示するのは、列車進行方向のカメラ21(A)よりも汚れが付きにくく、映像の視認性が良いためである。
[When the train stops]
After the train stops at the station, the camera images of all vehicles 20-1 to 20-4 start to be displayed at the timing when the door opening operation is performed and the door opening signal is turned on (see FIG. 6). ). When the train is stopped at the station, the images of the cameras 21 (B) of all the vehicles on the side where the door is opened and facing the direction opposite to the train traveling direction are divided and displayed on the display device 23. The image of the camera 21 (B) in the direction opposite to the train traveling direction is displayed because it is less likely to get dirty than the camera 21 (A) in the train traveling direction and the visibility of the image is good.
 駅に列車が停車している間は、プラットホーム入線時とは異なり、列車進行方向とは逆方向のカメラ21(B)の映像に対して危険検知処理が行われる。危険検知処理の結果、危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26は表示装置23に危険検知信号を送信する。表示装置23は、解析装置26から受信した危険検知信号に基づいて、危険が検知されたカメラ映像の表示を強調する。このとき、編成車両数が少ない場合は、分割表示を継続しつつ、危険が検知されたカメラ映像を赤枠で囲んで表示してもよい(図7A参照)。また、編成車両数が多い場合は、危険が検知されたカメラ映像を表示装置23(A)に大きく表示し、他方の表示装置23(B)を分割表示に使用してもよい(図7B参照)。 While the train is stopped at the station, the danger detection process is performed on the image of the camera 21 (B) in the direction opposite to the direction of travel of the train, unlike when entering the platform. When a danger is detected as a result of the danger detection process, the analysis device 26 transmits a danger detection signal to the display device 23. The display device 23 emphasizes the display of the camera image in which the danger is detected based on the danger detection signal received from the analysis device 26. At this time, if the number of trains is small, the camera image in which the danger is detected may be displayed by surrounding it with a red frame while continuing the divided display (see FIG. 7A). Further, when the number of trained vehicles is large, the camera image in which the danger is detected may be displayed in a large size on the display device 23 (A), and the other display device 23 (B) may be used for the divided display (see FIG. 7B). ).
 なお、山側ホーム及び海側ホームの両方のドアが開扉される場合には、2台の表示装置23では表示領域が不足する可能性があるため、分割表示の手法を工夫することが望ましい。一例として、閉扉操作する側の順に分割表示を切り替える手法を用いてもよい。すなわち、山側ホーム、海側ホームの順にドアを閉扉する場合には、当初は山側ホームのカメラ映像を分割表示し、山側ホームのドアの閉扉後に海側ホームのカメラ映像を分割表示すればよい。別の例として、全車両のカメラ映像を分割表示するのではなく、1両おきのカメラ映像を分割表示する手法を用いてもよい。この手法は、編成車両数が多い列車においても有効である。 If both the doors of the mountain side platform and the sea side platform are opened, the display area may be insufficient for the two display devices 23, so it is desirable to devise a split display method. As an example, a method of switching the divided display in the order of the door closing operation side may be used. That is, when the doors are closed in the order of the mountain side platform and the sea side platform, the camera image of the mountain side platform may be displayed separately at the beginning, and the camera image of the sea side platform may be displayed separately after the door of the mountain side platform is closed. As another example, instead of displaying the camera images of all the vehicles separately, a method of dividing and displaying the camera images of every other car may be used. This method is also effective for trains with a large number of trains.
[プラットホーム出線時]
 運転士は、乗客の乗降を表示装置23により確認した後にドア閉扉操作を行い、特に問題なければ列車の走行を開始する。その後、速度検知信号がONになったタイミングで、表示装置23によるカメラ映像の表示が停止される。その一方で、各車両の解析装置26による危険検知処理は、その車両がプラットホームから出線するまで継続される。この場合、駅停車中の危険検知処理と同様に、列車進行方向とは逆方向のカメラ21(B)の映像に対して危険検知処理が行われる(図8参照)。なお、車両がプラットホームから出線したかは、例えば、ホーム検知装置により判定することができるが、他の手法により判定しても構わない。その後、列車の走行開始に伴ってプラットホームから出線した車両の順に、その車両の解析装置26による危険検知処理が停止される(図9参照)。
[At the time of departure from the platform]
After confirming the passengers getting on and off by the display device 23, the driver closes the door and starts running the train if there is no particular problem. After that, when the speed detection signal is turned on, the display of the camera image by the display device 23 is stopped. On the other hand, the danger detection process by the analysis device 26 of each vehicle is continued until the vehicle leaves the platform. In this case, similar to the danger detection process while the train is stopped, the danger detection process is performed on the image of the camera 21 (B) in the direction opposite to the train traveling direction (see FIG. 8). Whether or not the vehicle has left the platform can be determined by, for example, a home detection device, but it may be determined by another method. After that, the danger detection process by the analysis device 26 of the vehicle is stopped in the order of the vehicles leaving the platform as the train starts running (see FIG. 9).
 危険検知処理の結果、危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26は表示装置23に危険検知信号を送信する。表示装置23は、解析装置26から受信した危険検知信号に基づいて、危険が検知された車両のカメラ映像を表示する。表示対象のカメラ映像は、危険が検知されたカメラ映像と、これに対向する撮影方向のカメラ映像である。すなわち、列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いたカメラ21(B)の映像が表示装置23(A)に表示されると共に、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ21(A)の映像が表示装置23(B)に表示される。 When a danger is detected as a result of the danger detection process, the analysis device 26 transmits a danger detection signal to the display device 23. The display device 23 displays the camera image of the vehicle in which the danger is detected based on the danger detection signal received from the analysis device 26. The camera image to be displayed is a camera image in which danger is detected and a camera image in the shooting direction facing the camera image. That is, the image of the camera 21 (B) facing in the direction opposite to the train traveling direction is displayed on the display device 23 (A), and the image of the camera 21 (A) facing the train traveling direction is displayed on the display device 23 (A). It is displayed in B).
 次に、プラットホーム入線から出線までの一連の処理について、図10の処理シーケンスを参照して説明する。
 列車が駅に近づいてプラットホームへの入線を開始すると、制御装置24は、プラットホームへ入線した車両の解析装置26に対して入線検知信号を順次送信する(ステップS11)。解析装置26は、入線検知信号を受信すると、ドアが開扉する側で且つ列車進行方向の順方向を向いた自車両のカメラ21(A)の映像に基づく危険検知処理を開始する(ステップS13)。その結果、危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26から表示装置23に対して危険検知信号が送信され、表示装置23により危険検知映像の表示が行われる(ステップS14)。このとき、表示装置23には、危険が検知されたカメラ21(A)の映像だけでなく、これを反対方向から撮影したカメラ21(B)の映像も表示される。
Next, a series of processes from platform entry to exit will be described with reference to the process sequence of FIG.
When the train approaches the station and starts entering the platform, the control device 24 sequentially transmits an entry detection signal to the analysis device 26 of the vehicle that has entered the platform (step S11). Upon receiving the incoming line detection signal, the analysis device 26 starts the danger detection process based on the image of the camera 21 (A) of the own vehicle facing the forward direction of the train traveling direction on the side where the door opens (step S13). ). As a result, when a danger is detected, a danger detection signal is transmitted from the analysis device 26 to the display device 23, and the display device 23 displays the danger detection image (step S14). At this time, not only the image of the camera 21 (A) in which the danger is detected but also the image of the camera 21 (B) taken from the opposite direction is displayed on the display device 23.
 その後、列車が駅に停車してドアが開扉されると、制御装置24は、表示装置23及び各車両の解析装置26に対してドア開扉信号を送信する(ステップS21)。表示装置23は、ドア開扉信号を受信すると、ドアが開扉した側で且つ列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いた各車両のカメラ21(B)の映像の分割表示を開始する(ステップS22)。また、解析装置26は、ドア開扉信号を受信すると、ドアが開扉する側で且つ列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いた自車両のカメラ21(B)の映像に基づく危険検知処理に切り替える(ステップS23)。その結果、危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26から表示装置23に対して危険検知信号が送信され、表示装置23により危険検知映像の表示が行われる(ステップS24)。このとき、表示装置23には、危険が検知されたカメラ映像が他のカメラ映像よりも強調して表示される。 After that, when the train stops at the station and the door is opened, the control device 24 transmits a door opening signal to the display device 23 and the analysis device 26 of each vehicle (step S21). Upon receiving the door opening signal, the display device 23 starts the divided display of the image of the camera 21 (B) of each vehicle on the side where the door is opened and facing the direction opposite to the train traveling direction (step S22). ). Further, when the analysis device 26 receives the door opening signal, the analysis device 26 switches to the danger detection process based on the image of the camera 21 (B) of the own vehicle facing the side where the door opens and the direction opposite to the train traveling direction. (Step S23). As a result, when a danger is detected, the analysis device 26 transmits a danger detection signal to the display device 23, and the display device 23 displays the danger detection image (step S24). At this time, the camera image in which the danger is detected is displayed on the display device 23 with more emphasis than the other camera images.
 その後、ドアが閉扉されて列車が走行を開始し、列車の速度が所定値(例えば、5kph)以上になったことが検知されると、制御装置24は、表示装置23及び各車両の解析装置26に対して速度検知信号を送信する(ステップS31)。表示装置23は、速度検知信号を受信すると、各車両のカメラ映像の分割表示を停止する(ステップS32)。一方、解析装置26は、速度検知信号を受信しても、ドアが開扉する側で且つ列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いた自車両のカメラ21(B)の映像に基づく危険検知処理を継続する(ステップS33)。その結果、危険が検知された場合には、解析装置26から表示装置23に対して危険検知信号が送信され、表示装置23により危険検知映像の表示が行われる(ステップS34)。このとき、表示装置23には、危険が検知されたカメラ21(B)の映像だけでなく、これを反対方向から撮影したカメラ21(A)の映像も表示される。 After that, when the door is closed, the train starts running, and it is detected that the speed of the train exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 5 kph), the control device 24 is a display device 23 and an analysis device for each vehicle. A speed detection signal is transmitted to 26 (step S31). Upon receiving the speed detection signal, the display device 23 stops the divided display of the camera image of each vehicle (step S32). On the other hand, even if the analysis device 26 receives the speed detection signal, the analysis device 26 performs a danger detection process based on the image of the camera 21 (B) of the own vehicle facing the side where the door opens and the direction opposite to the train traveling direction. Continue (step S33). As a result, when a danger is detected, a danger detection signal is transmitted from the analysis device 26 to the display device 23, and the display device 23 displays the danger detection image (step S34). At this time, not only the image of the camera 21 (B) in which the danger is detected but also the image of the camera 21 (A) taken from the opposite direction is displayed on the display device 23.
 その後、列車がプラットホームからの出線を開始すると、制御装置24は、プラットホームから出線した車両の解析装置26に対して出線検知信号を順次送信する(ステップS41)。解析装置26は、出線検知信号を受信した段階で、危険検知処理を停止する(ステップS42)。
 以上が、プラットホーム入線から出線までの一連の処理である。
After that, when the train starts to depart from the platform, the control device 24 sequentially transmits an exit detection signal to the analysis device 26 of the vehicle departing from the platform (step S41). The analysis device 26 stops the danger detection process at the stage of receiving the departure detection signal (step S42).
The above is a series of processes from platform entry to exit.
 以上のように、本例の監視システムは、列車の各車両に取り付けられたカメラ21と、カメラ映像を表示する表示装置23と、車両の近傍で発生した危険を検知する危険検知処理を行う解析装置26とを備え、表示装置23が、駅のプラットホームに対する列車の入線時及び出線時はカメラ映像の表示をしないが、入線時及び出線時でも危険検知処理によって危険が検知された場合には、危険が検知された車両のカメラの映像を表示するように構成されている。従って、列車走行中における運転士の業務負担の増大を抑えつつ、危険が生じた場合に速やかに運転士が把握することが可能となる。 As described above, the monitoring system of this example has a camera 21 attached to each vehicle of the train, a display device 23 for displaying the camera image, and an analysis that performs danger detection processing for detecting the danger generated in the vicinity of the vehicle. A device 26 is provided, and the display device 23 does not display the camera image when the train enters or leaves the platform of the station, but when a danger is detected by the danger detection process even when entering or leaving the line. Is configured to display the image of the camera of the vehicle in which the danger is detected. Therefore, it is possible for the driver to quickly grasp when a danger occurs while suppressing an increase in the work load of the driver while the train is running.
 なお、表示装置23は、上記の処理を、駅のプラットホームに対する列車の入線時又は出線時の一方のみに適用してもよい。すなわち、表示装置23は、入線時はカメラ映像の表示をしないが、入線時でも危険検知処理によって危険が検知された場合には、危険が検知された車両のカメラの映像を表示してもよい。または、表示装置23は、出線時はカメラ映像の表示をしないが、出線時でも危険検知処理によって危険が検知された場合には、危険が検知された車両のカメラの映像を表示してもよい。 Note that the display device 23 may apply the above processing to only one of the time when the train enters or leaves the platform of the station. That is, the display device 23 does not display the camera image at the time of entering the line, but may display the image of the camera of the vehicle in which the danger is detected when the danger is detected by the danger detection process even at the time of entering the line. .. Alternatively, the display device 23 does not display the camera image when the line is out, but when the danger is detected by the danger detection process even when the line is out, the display device 23 displays the image of the camera of the vehicle in which the danger is detected. May be good.
 また、解析装置26が、駅のプラットホームに対する列車の入線時及び/又は出線時に、プラットホームの区間に位置する車両のカメラ映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行うように構成されている。従って、列車の停車中だけでなく、列車がプラットホームの区間を移動中に発生した事故についても検知することができる。 Further, the analysis device 26 is configured to perform danger detection processing based on the camera image of the vehicle located in the section of the platform when the train enters and / or leaves the platform of the station. Therefore, it is possible to detect not only an accident while the train is stopped but also an accident that occurs while the train is moving on the platform section.
 また、列車の各車両は、列車進行方向を向いたカメラ21(A)と、列車進行方向とは逆方向を向いたカメラ21(B)とを有し、解析装置26が、プラットホームへの入線時はカメラ21(A)の映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行い、プラットホームからの出線時はカメラ21(B)の映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行うように構成されている。従って、列車とプラットホームの位置関係に応じて、適切な撮影方向のカメラ映像を用いて危険検知処理を行うことができる。 Further, each vehicle of the train has a camera 21 (A) facing the train traveling direction and a camera 21 (B) facing the direction opposite to the train traveling direction, and the analysis device 26 enters the platform. At times, the danger detection process is performed based on the image of the camera 21 (A), and at the time of departure from the platform, the danger detection process is performed based on the image of the camera 21 (B). Therefore, depending on the positional relationship between the train and the platform, the danger detection process can be performed using the camera image in an appropriate shooting direction.
 また、表示装置23が、駅のプラットホームに対する列車の入線時及び/又は出線時に危険検知処理によって危険が検知された場合に、危険が検知された車両のカメラ21(A)及びカメラ21(B)の各映像を表示するように構成されている。従って、検知された危険の様子をより確認し易くなる。 Further, when the display device 23 detects a danger by the danger detection process when the train enters and / or leaves the platform of the station, the camera 21 (A) and the camera 21 (B) of the vehicle in which the danger is detected are detected. ) Is configured to be displayed. Therefore, it becomes easier to confirm the state of the detected danger.
 また、カメラ21が、撮影した映像を表示装置23及び解析装置26に送信し、解析装置26が、カメラ21から受信した映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行い、表示装置23が、解析装置26による危険検知処理の結果に基づいて、カメラ21から受信した映像の表示を制御するように構成されている。従って、表示装置23には、解析装置26で再エンコードされた映像ではなく、カメラ21から直接伝送された映像が表示されるので、危険検知時にリアルタイム性の高い映像表示を行うことができる。 Further, the camera 21 transmits the captured image to the display device 23 and the analysis device 26, the analysis device 26 performs the danger detection process based on the image received from the camera 21, and the display device 23 uses the analysis device 26. It is configured to control the display of the image received from the camera 21 based on the result of the danger detection process. Therefore, since the display device 23 displays the video directly transmitted from the camera 21 instead of the video re-encoded by the analysis device 26, it is possible to display the video with high real-time performance at the time of danger detection.
 また、列車の各車両に解析装置26が搭載され、解析装置26が、自身と同じ車両に搭載されたカメラ21の映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行うように構成されている。従って、解析装置26の1台あたりの処理負担を軽減できるので、危険検知のリアルタイム性をより高めることができる。 Further, the analysis device 26 is mounted on each vehicle of the train, and the analysis device 26 is configured to perform the danger detection process based on the image of the camera 21 mounted on the same vehicle as itself. Therefore, since the processing load per analysis device 26 can be reduced, the real-time property of danger detection can be further enhanced.
 また、車両の左右両側にカメラが取り付けられ、解析装置26が、プラットホームでドアが開扉する側のカメラ21の映像に基づいて危険検知処理を行うように構成されている。従って、事故が発生しにくい側のカメラ映像を処理せずに済むので、解析装置26の処理負担を軽減することができる。 In addition, cameras are attached to both the left and right sides of the vehicle, and the analysis device 26 is configured to perform danger detection processing based on the image of the camera 21 on the side where the door opens on the platform. Therefore, it is not necessary to process the camera image on the side where an accident is unlikely to occur, so that the processing load of the analysis device 26 can be reduced.
 なお、上記の例では、車両の近傍で発生した危険の検知を検知する危険検知処理を、その車両のカメラ映像に基づいて行っているが、各車両に人物検知センサや熱検知センサなどを取り付けておき、これらセンサの検出結果に基づいて危険検知処理を行うようにしてもよい。また、これらを併用してもよいことは言うまでもない。 In the above example, the danger detection process for detecting the detection of the danger generated in the vicinity of the vehicle is performed based on the camera image of the vehicle, but a person detection sensor, a heat detection sensor, or the like is attached to each vehicle. Then, the danger detection process may be performed based on the detection results of these sensors. Needless to say, these may be used in combination.
 また、上記の例では、表示装置23が表示内容の制御機能を有しているが、表示装置23とは別体の装置で表示内容の制御を行うようにしてもよい。
 また、上記の例では、1台の車両20に対して1台の解析装置26を設けているが、1台のカメラ11に対して1台の解析装置26を設けてもよいし、複数台の車両20に対して1台の解析装置26を設けてもよい。
Further, in the above example, although the display device 23 has a display content control function, the display content may be controlled by a device separate from the display device 23.
Further, in the above example, one analysis device 26 is provided for one vehicle 20, but one analysis device 26 may be provided for one camera 11, or a plurality of analysis devices 26 may be provided. One analysis device 26 may be provided for the vehicle 20 of the above.
