Control apparatus of escalator

Abstract

The invention provides control equipment applied to an escalator, which can improve safety of passengers and bring feeling of safety for them, and is provided with an image processing unit (107) for processing images obtained by a camera and the like image acquisition device (106); besides, the image processing unit (107) possesses an anomalous action judging part (111) and an abnormal action classification part (112); the anomalous action judging part can detect anomalous state of actions of passengers through processing the image; the abnormal action classification part classifies the actions of passengers according to changes of detected anomalous state in respect to time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device for an escalator that ensures the safety of passengers riding an escalator or that can give passengers a sense of security. Background technique [0002] There is known a system in which ultrasonic waves, infrared sensors, image processing technology, etc. are applied to detect whether passengers on the escalator have fallen and leaned out of the handrail, or to detect congestion at the entrance of the escalator, and Remind passengers to pay attention or stop the escalator through voice prompts to ensure the safety of passengers. In particular, the use of image processing not only has the advantage of being able to monitor a wide area with a single camera when building a system, but also can record images at the time of abnormality while detecting it, so not only can It is used as an anomaly detection sensor, and can also be used for detailed analysis of anomalies or market research. [0003] As a pri...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, although there is a function of controlling the pedal speed corresponding to the part where the abnormality of the passenger's movement occurs, it cannot judge the type of the passenger's abnormality, nor can the escalator be controlled according to the type of abnormality.

[0006] For example, when passengers with children or elderly passengers lose their balance near the center of the upper and lower openings of the escalator, or when passengers' clothes or shoes are caught in the gap between the entrance part and the pedal part of the escalator, or naughty When a child walks in the opposite direction on the escalator, or when a passenger wants to carry an item such as a baby stroller or a large suitcase on the escalator that exceeds the specification of the escalator, the above-mentioned prior art cannot monitor the escalator according to the type of abnormality. control
