Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a dam management training system, a dam management training device, and a dam management training control method.

Background Art

[0002] In a training system for training workers who perform tasks related to dams, it is common for workers to train while only checking simulated numerical values such as water storage levels. In training that involves only checking numerical values, it is difficult to feel a sense of urgency. However, the actual situation of performing tasks related to dams includes urgent situations such as when suppressing flood damage caused by heavy rain. Therefore, when actually performing tasks related to dams, there is a possibility of making operational errors or judgment errors due to anxiety and tension arising from urgent situations, without being able to utilize the training.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0007] Hereinafter, each embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment) First, the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a dam management system including a training system according to the first embodiment. The dam management system 50 is a system for managing the state of a dam and performing control according to the state of the dam. The training system 60 is a system (dam management training system) for training workers who perform work related to the dam. The workers include, for example, the administrators and staff of a facility (dam management office) for managing the dam.

[0008] The dam management system 50 includes, for example, a machine-side operation panel 1, an input / output device 2, a water level measurement device 3, a remote manual operation device 4, a control system LAN (Local Area Network) 5, a first discharge operation device 6, a second discharge operation device 7, an information system LAN 8, an information input / providing device 9, various observation devices 10, and a training system 60. The training system 60 includes, for example, a training device 11, a training device monitor 12, an immersive experience production server 13, and a production monitor 14.

[0009] The control system LAN 5 is a network to which devices for controlling the dam are connected. The input / output device 2, the water level measurement device 3, the remote manual operation device 4, the first discharge operation device 6, and the second discharge operation device 7 are connected to the control system LAN 5.

[0010] The information system LAN 8 is a network to which devices for exchanging information related to the dam are connected. The first discharge operation device 6, the second discharge operation device 7, the information input / providing device 9, various observation devices 10, the training device 11, and the immersive experience production server 13 are connected to the information system LAN 8. That is, the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 are connected to both the control system LAN 5 and the information system LAN 8.

[0011] The water level measurement device 3 measures the water level of the dam. The water level measurement device 3 notifies the measured water level to the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 via the control system LAN 5.

[0012] Each of the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 controls the machine-side operation panel 1 via the input / output device 2. Specifically, each of the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 transmits a control signal for opening the dam discharge gate or a control signal for closing the discharge gate to the machine-side operation panel 1 in order to operate the dam discharge. Note that the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 function as redundant systems for each other's devices.

[0013] The input / output device 2 is a device that inputs and outputs signals (data) to and from the machine-side operation panel 1. The input / output device 2 is connected to the machine-side operation panel 1.

[0014] The machine-side operation panel 1 operates in response to various control signals given from the remote manual operation device 4 via the input / output device 2, and operates various facilities provided in the dam (for example, opening and closing of the dam gate). Thereby, an operator who operates the remote manual operation device 4 can control various facilities of the dam remotely. Further, the machine-side operation panel 1 notifies the first discharge operation device 6 and the second discharge operation device 7 of various data indicating the state of the dam gate via the input / output device 2.

[0015] The remote manual operation device 4 generates a signal (control signal) for operating various facilities provided in the dam in response to an operation by an operator. The remote manual operation device 4 transmits the generated operation signal to the machine-side operation panel 1 via the input / output device 2. The facilities provided in the dam are, for example, gates (dam gates) that are opened and closed to adjust the water storage level of the dam.

[0016] The information input / providing device 9 receives information based on operations by the operator. The information input / providing device 9 is connected to the dam administrator's PC (Personal Computer) 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16. The information input / providing device 9 receives various types of information transmitted from, for example, the dam administrator's PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16. The information input / providing device 9 can provide (transmit) the information received from the dam administrator's PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 to, for example, the training device 11. Also, the information input / providing device 9 receives various types of information from the training device 11. The information input / providing device 9 can provide the information received from the training device 11 to at least one of the dam administrator's PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16.

[0017] The dam administrator's PC 15 is an information processing device used by the dam administrator. The dam administrator's PC 15 can transmit information based on operations by the dam administrator to the information input / providing device 9. Also, the dam administrator's PC 15 can receive information from the information input / providing device 9. The dam administrator's PC 15 displays the received information, for example, on the screen of the dam administrator's PC 15.

[0018] The dam-related person terminal 16 is an information processing device used by the staff. The dam-related person terminal 16 is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet computer. The dam-related person terminal 16 can transmit information based on operations by the staff using it to the information input / providing device 9. Also, the dam-related person terminal 16 can receive information from the information input / providing device 9. The dam-related person terminal 16 displays the received information, for example, on the screen of the dam-related person terminal 16.

[0019] The various types of information transmitted from the training device 11 to the dam administrator's PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 include an action guideline table. The action guideline table indicates the work to be performed by the operator according to changes in the state of the dam. The specific content of the action guideline table will be described later with reference to FIG. 2 and the like. The various types of information transmitted from the dam administrator's PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 to the training device 11 include information indicating the completion of the work assigned to each operator in the action guideline table.

[0020] The training device 11 is a computer for managing the training of an operator. The training device 11 has a hardware configuration of a general computer, such as a processor, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a storage device, and a communication device. The processor is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The storage device is, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive). The communication device includes, for example, a transmission unit that transmits data (signals) to the outside and a reception unit that receives data from the outside. Also, a training device monitor 12 is connected to the training device 11.

[0021] The training device monitor 12 is a display device (display). The training device monitor 12 is installed, for example, inside a dam management office. The training device monitor 12 displays, for example, an image based on a display signal received from the training device 11 on the screen.

[0022] The training device 11 includes a training database (training DB) 17, an operation unit 18, a training screen creation unit 19, and a training control unit 20.

[0023] The training DB 17 is a database that stores various data and information necessary for the training of an operator. Specifically, the training DB 17 stores an action guideline table and a production information table. The training DB 17 is realized, for example, as a relational database. As the training DB 17, for example, a storage area of a storage device provided in the training device 11 is allocated.

[0024] The action guideline table is a table that shows in chronological order the operations (actions) that each of a plurality of action teams should perform according to a plurality of states related to the dam in training. The states related to the dam are, for example, the rainfall in the area where the dam is located and the water storage level of the dam. The plurality of action teams include, for example, the branch manager, deputy branch manager, management team, telecommunications team, general affairs team, and public relations team. The operations that the plurality of action teams should perform are a plurality of operations related to the dam that are each performed according to any one of the plurality of states related to the dam. The plurality of operations related to the dam include, for example, operations related to the management of the dam and operations on the facilities of the dam. The action guideline table may be created in a plurality of patterns according to the difference in the dam discharge method and stored in the training DB17. The dam discharge methods include, for example, the constant rate and fixed quantity discharge method and the fixed quantity discharge method. A specific configuration example of the action guideline table will be described later with reference to FIG. 2.

[0025] The production information table is a table that shows the timing and content of the production in the training based on the action guideline table. The production information table shows, for example, the correspondence between each of a plurality of production timings and each of a plurality of production information. Each of the plurality of production timings is the timing at which a certain production should be performed. Specifically, each of the plurality of production timings indicates an event that triggers the production, and for example, indicates either one of a plurality of states related to the dam and the completion of one of a plurality of operations related to the dam.

[0026] Each of the plurality of production information is information that indicates the content of the production that should be performed at the corresponding production timing. Specifically, each of the plurality of production information indicates, for example, at least one of displaying a specific video and outputting a specific sound. That is, the production information table shows the correspondence between the timing at which a certain production should be performed and the information indicating the content of that production. A specific configuration example of the production information table will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

[0027] The operation unit 18 inputs information from the information input / providing device 9 to the training device 11. For example, the operation unit 18 operates the information in the training DB 17 based on the information input (transmitted) from the information input / providing device 9. More specifically, for example, when information (work completion information) indicating the completion of the work shown in the action guideline table is input from either the dam administrator PC 15 or the dam-related person terminal 16 via the information input / providing device 9, the operation unit 18 updates the action guideline table to indicate that the work has been completed.

[0028] The training screen creation unit 19 generates a display signal for displaying an image on the screen of the training device monitor 12 based on the information acquired from the training DB 17. The image displayed on the screen of the training device monitor 12 is, for example, an image (information-providing image) showing the content of the action guideline table. The information-providing image may include a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for operating on the action guideline table. The training screen creation unit 19 sends the generated display signal to the training device monitor 12. Thereby, the training screen creation unit 19 causes the training device monitor 12 to display the information-providing image based on the display signal.

[0029] The training control unit 20 controls the entire training device 11. The training control unit 20 includes, for example, a determination unit 21 and a providing unit 22.

[0030] The determination unit 21 determines whether or not it is the timing (performance timing) at which a performance is to be performed in the training based on the action guideline table. Specifically, the determination unit 21 uses the action guideline table and the performance information table to determine whether either the current state of the dam or the progress of the work by the worker corresponds to the performance timing. When it is the timing at which a performance is to be performed, the determination unit 21 notifies the providing unit 22 that it is the performance timing.

[0031] The providing unit 22 provides external information regarding training based on the action guideline table. Specifically, at the start of the training, the providing unit 22 distributes the action guideline table stored in the training DB 17 to the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 via the information system LAN 8 and the information input / providing device 9. When a plurality of patterns of action guideline tables are stored in the training DB 17, the providing unit 22 distributes the action guideline table corresponding to the discharge method selected by the dam administrator to the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16. Thereby, the workers using the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 can conduct training based on the action guideline table.

[0032] Also, in response to being notified by the determination unit 21 that it is the production timing, the providing unit 22 acquires the production information corresponding to the production timing from the production information table. The providing unit 22 provides (transmits) the acquired production information to the immersive production server 13 via the information system LAN 8.

[0033] Some or all of the operation unit 18, the training screen creation unit 19, the determination unit 21, and the providing unit 22 of the training device 11 described above may be realized as any combination of hardware such as a circuit, software executed by one or more processors, and hardware and software.

[0034] The immersive production server 13 is a server computer that controls the production of the immersive feeling during training. The immersive production server 13 has a hardware configuration of a general computer, such as a processor, ROM, RAM, a storage device, and a communication device, for example. Also, the immersive production server 13 is connected to the production monitor 14.

[0035] The performance monitor 14 is an output device (display device). The performance monitor 14 incorporates a speaker 14a. The performance monitor 14 is installed, for example, inside a dam management office. The performance monitor 14 displays, on the screen, an image based on a display signal received from the immersive experience performance server 13. Also, the performance monitor 14 outputs, from the speaker 14a, voice based on a voice signal received from the immersive experience performance server 13. Note that instead of the speaker 14a incorporated in the performance monitor 14, an external speaker of the performance monitor 14 may be used. In that case, this external speaker is further connected to the immersive experience performance server 13 and outputs voice based on a voice signal received from the immersive experience performance server 13.

[0036] The immersive experience performance server 13 includes a video database (video DB) 23, an audio database (audio DB) 24, a performance control unit 25, a performance screen creation unit 28, and a performance audio output unit 29.

[0037] The video DB 23 is a database that stores one or more video data. Each of the one or more video data is used to create an immersive experience in training based on an action guideline table. Each of the one or more video data corresponds to, for example, any one of a plurality of performance information included in a performance information table.

[0038] The audio DB 24 is a database that stores one or more audio data. Each of the one or more audio data is used to create an immersive experience in training based on an action guideline table. Each of the one or more audio data corresponds to, for example, any one of a plurality of performance information included in a performance information table.

[0039] The video DB 23 and the audio DB 24 are realized as, for example, relational databases. As the video DB 23 and the audio DB 24, for example, a storage area of a storage device provided in the immersive experience performance server 13 is allocated.

[0040] The performance control unit 25 controls the entire immersive experience performance server 13. The performance control unit 25 includes, for example, an acquisition unit 26 and a performance unit 27.

[0041] The acquisition unit 26 acquires (receives) the production information transmitted from the training device 11 (more specifically, the providing unit 22) via the information system LAN 8. The acquisition unit 26 sends the received production information to the production unit 27.

[0042] In response to receiving the production information from the acquisition unit 26, the production unit 27 performs at least one of reading out video data corresponding to the production information from the video DB 23 and reading out audio data corresponding to the production information from the audio DB 24. The production unit 27 sends the read video data to the production screen creation unit 28. Also, the production unit 27 sends the read audio data to the production audio output unit 29.

[0043] Based on the video data transmitted from the production unit 27, the production screen creation unit 28 generates a display signal for displaying a video (image) on the screen of the production monitor 14. The production screen creation unit 28 sends the generated display signal to the production monitor 14. Thereby, the production screen creation unit 28 causes the production monitor 14 to display a video based on the display signal.

[0044] The video displayed on the screen of the production monitor 14 includes, for example, at least one of a video representing the rainfall in the area where the dam is located (rainfall video), a video representing the water storage level of the dam (water storage level video), a video showing the appearance of staff gathering at the dam management office (gathering video), a video showing the appearance of the patrol vehicle traveling (traveling video), a video showing the appearance of water being discharged from the dam (discharge video), and a video showing the appearance of the downstream area of the dam in response to the sounding of the discharge alarm (downstream area video). Specific examples of the video displayed on the screen of the production monitor 14 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9.

[0045] The performance sound blowing unit 29 generates an audio signal for outputting sound from the speaker 14a provided in the performance monitor 14 based on the audio data transmitted from the performance unit 27. The sound output from the speaker 14a is, for example, the sound of discharge or the blowing sound of a discharge warning. The discharge sound is the sound when water is discharged from the dam. The blowing sound of the discharge warning is the warning sound for warning the discharge of water from the dam. The performance sound blowing unit 29 sends the generated audio signal to the speaker 14a. Thereby, the performance sound blowing unit 29 causes the speaker 14a to output the sound based on the audio signal.

[0046] Part or all of the acquisition unit 26, the performance unit 27, the performance screen creation unit 28, and the performance sound blowing unit 29 of the immersive performance server 13 may be realized as any one of hardware such as a circuit, software executed by one or more processors, and any combination of hardware and software.

[0047] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the configurations of the action guideline table and the performance information table used in the training device 11 will be described.

[0048] FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the action guideline table. The action guideline table includes a plurality of entries respectively corresponding to a plurality of periods in the training. The plurality of periods are, for example, consecutive periods in the time series when the training is performed. Each of the plurality of entries indicates the action guideline and the performance in the corresponding period. Specifically, each of the plurality of entries includes, for example, time, rainfall amount, water storage level, predicted inflow amount, status of the system / operation, work items of each action team, and a performance field.

[0049] In the entry corresponding to a certain period, the "time" field indicates the start time of that period. The time indicated in the "time" field can be changed according to the time when the training is actually started.

[0050] The "rainfall amount" field indicates the rainfall amount of the dam in the corresponding period assumed in the training.

[0051] The "storage water level" field indicates the storage water level of the dam during the corresponding period assumed in the training.

[0052] The "predicted inflow" field indicates the predicted value of the inflow to the dam during the corresponding period assumed in the training.

[0053] The "system / operation status" field indicates the system established during the corresponding period and the operations performed during the corresponding period in the training.

[0054] The "work items for each action team" field indicates the work for each action team to be performed during the corresponding period in the training. Specifically, the "work items for each action team" field indicates the work to be performed by the workers belonging to, for example, the branch manager, deputy branch manager, management team, telecommunications team, general affairs team, and public relations team respectively.

[0055] The "production" field indicates the content of the production (production information) performed during the corresponding period. The production indicated in the "production" field is performed, for example, at the production timing indicating one of the rainfall amount, storage water level, or completion of the work of each action team set in the entry including this field.

[0056] In the example shown in Figure 2, for example, the second entry indicates that the training based on this entry starts at 19:10, the rainfall amount assumed in the training is 10 mm, the storage water level is 120 EL.m, and the predicted inflow is 0 m3 / s. Also, this entry indicates that a flood warning system should be established during the period of the training based on this entry, and the general affairs team should arrange a liaison vehicle. Furthermore, this entry indicates that a video showing an increase in rainfall amount (rainfall increase video 01) and a video showing an increase in storage water level (storage water level increase video 01) should be displayed during the period of the training based on this entry.

[0057] FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the production information table. The production information table includes a plurality of entries corresponding to a plurality of productions respectively. Each of the plurality of entries includes a production timing and a field of production information.

[0058] The field of "production timing" indicates the timing at which the corresponding production should be performed. Specifically, the field of "production timing" indicates an event that triggers the corresponding production. For example, it indicates either one of a plurality of states related to the dam and the completion of one of a plurality of operations related to the dam. The plurality of states related to the dam include, for example, the rainfall amount and the water storage level shown in the action guideline table. The plurality of operations related to the dam include the operations of each action team shown in the action guideline table.

[0059] The field of "production information" indicates the content of the corresponding production. Specifically, the field of "production information" indicates at least one of displaying a specific video and outputting a specific audio.

[0060] In the example shown in FIG. 3, for example, the first entry indicates that when the production timing corresponds to the rainfall amount being 10 mm or more and less than 20 mm, the rainfall increase video 01 is displayed. Also, for example, the tenth entry indicates that when the production timing corresponds to the completion of the gate operation, the discharge video is displayed and the discharge sound is output.

[0061] Note that the information shown in the production information table (that is, the information indicating the correspondence between the production timing and the production information) may be included in the above-described action guideline table.

[0062] The training device 11 and the immersive experience production server 13 are configured to perform an effect based on the effect information table during training based on the action guideline table. Six examples of the effect timing (first effect timing) and the effect information (first effect information) in the effect performed by the training device 11 and the immersive experience production server 13 will be described below. The first effect information indicates at least one of the display of an image based on the corresponding video data (first video data) and the output of a sound based on the corresponding audio data (first audio data).

[0063] The first one is an effect of displaying a rainfall video representing the rainfall in a region where there is a dam at the effect timing when the rainfall in the region is within a specific range. The rainfall video is, for example, a video in which a region with a large amount of rainfall on a map is shown in a dark color (a color with high brightness), and a region with a small amount of rainfall is shown in a light color (a color with low brightness).

[0064] In the effect based on the effect information table shown in FIG. 3, for example, at the effect timing when the rainfall shown in the action guideline table is 10 mm or more and less than 20 mm, "rainfall increase video 01" is displayed. The rainfall increase video 01 is a rainfall video showing on a map that the rainfall in the region where there is a dam is 10 mm or more and less than 20 mm.

[0065] Also, at the effect timing when the rainfall is 20 mm or more and less than 30 mm, "rainfall increase video 02" is displayed. The rainfall increase video 02 is a rainfall video showing on a map that the rainfall in the region where there is a dam is 20 mm or more and less than 30 mm. That is, the rainfall increase video 02 shows that the rainfall in the region where there is a dam is more than that of the rainfall increase video 01.

[0066] Furthermore, at the effect timing when the rainfall is 40 mm or more, "rainfall increase video 03" is displayed. The rainfall increase video 03 is a rainfall video showing on a map that the rainfall in the region where there is a dam is 40 mm or more. That is, the rainfall increase video 03 shows that the rainfall in the region where there is a dam is more than that of the rainfall increase video 02.

[0067] Note that the range of rainfall indicating the production timing and the rainfall video used in the production are not limited to the above three patterns, and any number of patterns can be set.

[0068] The second is a production in which a water storage level video representing the water storage level of the dam is displayed on the production monitor 14 at the timing when the water storage level of the dam is within a specific range. The water storage level video is a video including, for example, a cross-sectional view of the dam, a water volume plate installed in the dam, and numerical values such as the water storage level, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0069] In the production based on the production information table shown in FIG. 3, for example, at the production timing when the water storage level shown in the action guideline table is 120 mEl.m or more and less than 140 mEl.m, "Water storage level increase video 01" is displayed. The water storage level increase video 01 is a water storage level video indicating that the water storage level of the dam is 120 mEl.m or more and less than 140 mEl.m.

[0070] Also, at the production timing when the water storage level is 140 mEl.m or more and less than 160 mEl.m, "Water storage level increase video 02" is displayed. The water storage level increase video 02 is a water storage level video indicating that the water storage level of the dam is 140 mEl.m or more and less than 160 mEl.m. That is, the water storage level increase video 02 indicates that the water storage level of the dam is higher than that of the water storage level increase video 01.

[0071] Furthermore, at the production timing when the water storage level is 160 mEl.m or more, "Water storage level increase video 03" is displayed. The water storage level increase video 03 is a water storage level video indicating that the water storage level of the dam is 160 mEl.m or more. That is, the water storage level increase video 03 indicates that the water storage level of the dam is higher than that of the water storage level increase video 02.

[0072] Note that the range of the water storage level indicating the production timing and the timing of the water storage level video used in the production are not limited to the above three patterns, and any number of patterns can be set.

[0073] The third is an effect that displays on the production monitor 14 a gathering video showing the situation where staff (operators) gather in the control room of the dam management office at the timing when the establishment work of the dam management system is completed. The gathering video is, for example, the video of the control room of the dam management office in case of emergency as shown in FIG. 5. The gathering video shows the situation where more staff are summoned to the control room in response to the increasing urgency when performing work related to the dam discharge.

[0074] In the effect based on the production information table shown in FIG. 3, for example, at the production timing when the establishment work of the alert system is completed, "Staff Gathering Video 01" is displayed. Staff Gathering Video 01 is a gathering video showing the situation where staff gather when the alert system is established.

[0075] Also, at the production timing when the establishment work of the emergency system is completed, "Staff Gathering Video 02" is displayed. Staff Gathering Video 02 is a gathering video showing the situation where staff gather when the emergency system is established. The emergency system is a system established in a situation with a higher level of urgency than the alert system. Therefore, Staff Gathering Video 02 shows that the number of staff in the dam management office is larger than that in Staff Gathering Video 01.

[0076] Note that the establishment of the dam management system indicating the production timing and the gathering videos used in the production are not limited to the above two patterns, and any number of patterns can be set.

[0077] The fourth is an effect that displays on the production monitor 14 a driving video showing the situation where the patrol vehicle (river patrol vehicle) is driving at the production timing when the work to start the driving of the patrol vehicle is completed. The driving video is, for example, the video showing the situation where the patrol vehicle drives along the river from the dam management office to the downstream area while broadcasting voice as shown in FIG. 6. The patrol vehicle is equipped with a siren and a speaker that outputs voice to prompt evacuation in order to convey to the residents the danger of flooding in the downstream area and prompt evacuation before the dam discharge operation is performed.

[0078] In the production based on the production information table shown in FIG. 3, the "tour vehicle running video" is displayed at the production timing when the operation of starting the running of the tour vehicle is completed. Note that at the production timing when the tour vehicle actually runs at a specific position (for example, the middle reaches), a running video showing the state of running at the specific position may be displayed. That is, the production timing when the operator causes the tour vehicle to run at each of a plurality of positions and a plurality of running videos used for the production may be set.

[0079] The fifth is a production in which at the timing when the operation of opening the dam gate (gate opening operation) is completed, a discharge video showing the state of water being discharged from the dam is displayed on the production monitor 14, and a discharge sound of water being discharged from the dam is output from the speaker 14a. The discharge video is, for example, a video showing the state of water being discharged from the dam as shown in FIG. 7.

[0080] In the production based on the production information table shown in FIG. 3, at the timing when the gate opening operation is completed, the "discharge video" is displayed and the "discharge sound" is output. In the gate opening operation, among the plurality of gates provided in the dam, the gate to be opened and the opening degree (the opening and closing state of the gate) of each gate to be opened are specified. The discharge video is, for example, a video corresponding to the gate and the opening degree specified in the gate opening operation. Also, the volume of the discharge sound and the type of the discharge sound may vary according to the gate and the opening degree specified in the gate opening operation.

[0081] The sixth is a production in which at the production timing when the operation of sounding a discharge warning for warning of the discharge of water from the dam is completed, a downstream area video showing the state of the downstream area of the dam corresponding to the sounding of the discharge warning is displayed on the production monitor 14, and the sounding sound of the discharge warning is output from the speaker 14a. The downstream area video is, for example, a video showing the state of people leaving the river as shown in FIG. 8, due to the discharge warning being sounded from a speaker installed along the river from the dam to the downstream area. The speakers installed along the river broadcast (sound) the discharge warning in order to inform the residents of the danger of flooding in the downstream area and urge evacuation before the dam discharge operation is performed.

[0082] In the effect based on the effect information table shown in FIG. 3, at the effect timing when the operation of sounding the discharge warning is completed, a “warning sound video” is displayed and a “discharge warning sound” is output.

[0083] Note that the various effects described above may be performed in parallel. For example, a video in which a plurality of types of videos are combined may be displayed on the effect monitor 14. Also, a sound in which a plurality of types of sounds are combined may be output from the speaker 14a.

[0084] When a plurality of types of videos are displayed, the effect screen creation unit 28 determines, for example, the display size and arrangement of each video according to the importance determined in advance for each video. Based on the determined display size and arrangement of each video, the effect screen creation unit 28 generates a display signal for displaying a video in which a plurality of types of videos are combined. Then, the effect screen creation unit 28 sends the generated display signal to the effect monitor 14. Thereby, the effect screen creation unit 28 causes the effect monitor 14 to display a video in which a plurality of types of videos are combined.

[0085] When a plurality of types of sounds are output, the effect sound sounding unit 29 determines, for example, the volume of each sound according to the importance determined in advance for each sound. Based on the determined volume of each sound, the effect sound sounding unit 29 generates a sound signal for outputting a sound in which a plurality of types of sounds are combined. Then, the effect sound sounding unit 29 sends the generated sound signal to the speaker 14a. Thereby, the effect sound sounding unit 29 causes the speaker 14a to output a sound in which a plurality of types of sounds are combined.

[0086] FIG. 9 shows an example of a video in which a plurality of types of videos are combined. The video shown in FIG. 9 is a video in which a water storage level video, a running video, a downstream area video, a discharge video, and an inflow video are combined. Here, it is assumed that the importance of the water storage level video is set to be the highest among the water storage level video, the running video, the downstream area video, the discharge video, and the inflow video. In this case, as shown in the example of FIG. 9, the water storage level video is displayed at the upper part of the screen in the largest size.

[0087] Here, the management of the progress of work in training will be described. The progress of work in training is managed based on the action guideline table in the training device 11, for example.

[0088] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a progress status display screen. The progress status display screen is a screen showing the progress status of work managed based on the action guideline table. The progress status display screen can be displayed on the dam manager PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 while the training based on the action guideline table is being performed. The progress status display screen includes a status of each work by the action team and a plurality of buttons for inputting a change in the status.

[0089] The plurality of buttons associated with a certain work include, for example, a "not yet" button, a "processing" button, and a "completed" button.

[0090] The "not yet" button indicates whether the associated work is unaddressed. When the "unaddressed" button is drawn in a specific color (for example, white), it indicates that the associated work is unaddressed. On the progress status display screen before a certain work is started, the "not yet" button associated with that work is drawn in a specific color.

[0091] The "processing" button indicates whether the associated work is being processed. When the "processing" button is drawn in a specific color (for example, yellow), it indicates that the associated work is being processed. During the period from when a certain work is started until it is completed, on the progress status display screen, the "processing" button associated with that work is drawn in a specific color. The "processing" button is drawn in a specific color, for example, in response to an operation of pressing down the "processing" button when an operator belonging to each action team starts the work to be addressed.

[0092] The "Completion" button indicates whether the associated work has been completed. When the "Completion" button is drawn in a specific color (e.g., green), it indicates that the associated work has been completed. After a certain work is completed, on the progress display screen, the "Completion" button associated with that work is drawn in a specific color. The "Completion" button is drawn in a specific color, for example, in response to the operator belonging to each action shift completing the corresponding work and pressing down the "Completion" button. The dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related personnel terminal 16 transmit information indicating the completion of the associated work to the training device 11 via the information input / providing device 9 and the information system LAN 8 in response to the "Completion" button being pressed down by the operator.

[0093] In addition, if the progress of the work by a certain action shift is delayed and the work by other subsequent action shifts cannot start, then all three buttons associated with the subsequent work are displayed as inactive (e.g., gray). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the colors in which each button is drawn are distinguished by hatching.

[0094] Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the flow of the process executed in the training system 60 will be described.

[0095] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the training control process executed in the training device 11.

[0096] The training control process is a process of providing the presence effect server 13 with effect information according to the state of the dam and the progress of the work by the operator in the training of the operator based on the action guideline table. The training device 11 executes the training control process, for example, in response to the start of training and the indication of the discharge method to be trained being instructed by the dam administrator.

[0097] In response to the training system 60 being started in step S11, in step S12, the determination unit 21 of the training device 11 acquires the action guideline table from the training DB 17.

[0098] In step S13, the providing unit 22 distributes the action guideline table acquired by the determination unit 21 to the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16. The dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 display the distributed action guideline table on the screen. Each operator using the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 performs each task assigned to the operator based on the displayed action guideline table.

[0099] Then, in step S14, the determination unit 21 starts the training of the operator based on the action guideline table. Note that the training screen creation unit 19 may display an information providing image based on the action guideline table on the training device monitor 12.

[0100] Next, in step S15, the determination unit 21 sets the variable i to 1. The variable i is a variable that identifies the entry in the i-th row among the n entries included in the action guideline table. The procedure from step S15 to step S23 is a loop process that is repeatedly executed while the variable i is any value from 1 to n.

[0101] In step S16, the determination unit 21 acquires the rainfall amount and the water storage level from the entry in the i-th row of the action guideline table.

[0102] In step S17, the determination unit 21 determines whether the acquired rainfall amount corresponds to any of the plurality of production timings shown in the production information table, and whether the acquired water storage level corresponds to any of the plurality of production timings shown in the production information table.

[0103] When the acquired rainfall amount corresponds to any of the plurality of production timings, or when the acquired water storage level corresponds to any of the plurality of production timings (YES in step S17), the providing unit 22 extracts the production information corresponding to the corresponding production timing from the production information table, transmits the extracted production information to the immersive production server 13 (step S18), and proceeds to step S19.

[0104] For example, in the action guideline table of FIG. 2, during the period when the start time shown in the entry in the second row is 19:10, the rainfall amount becomes 10 mm. Since this 10-mm rainfall amount corresponds to the production timing "rainfall amount of 10 mm or more and less than 20 mm" in the production information table of FIG. 3, the providing unit 22 transmits the corresponding production information "display of rainfall increase video 01" to the immersive production server 13.

[0105] Also for example, in the action guideline table of FIG. 2, during the period when the start time shown in the entry in the second row is 19:10, the water storage level becomes 120 EL.m. Since this 120-EL.m water storage level corresponds to the production timing "water storage level of 120 EL.m or more and less than 140 El.m" in the production information table of FIG. 3, the providing unit 22 transmits the corresponding production information "display of water storage level increase video 01" to the immersive production server 13.

[0106] When the acquired rainfall amount does not correspond to any of the multiple production timings and the acquired water storage level also does not correspond to any of the multiple production timings (NO in step S17), the determination unit 21 proceeds to step S19.

[0107] Next, in step S19, the determination unit 21 determines whether or not the completion of any of the multiple operations included in the action guideline table has been input to the training device 11. In response to the completion of the operation assigned to the operator in the action guideline table, the operator presses the "complete" button corresponding to that operation on the progress display screen displayed on the dam administrator PC 15 or the dam-related person terminal 16 used by the operator.

[0108] By this operation, the dam administrator PC 15 or the dam-related person terminal 16 transmits information indicating the completion of the operation to the training device 11 via the information input / providing device 9. The operation unit 18 receives the information indicating the completion of the operation and updates the action guideline table used in the training as needed based on the received information. When the operation unit 18 updates the action guideline table so as to indicate the completion of the operation, the determination unit 21 determines that the completion of the operation has been input to the training device 11.

[0109] When none of the completions of the multiple operations included in the action guideline table have been input to the training device 11 (NO in step S19), the determination unit 21 proceeds to step S22.

[0110] When the completion of any one of the multiple operations included in the action guideline table has been input to the training device 11 (YES in step S19), the determination unit 21 determines whether the completion of the input operation corresponds to any of the multiple production timings shown in the production information table (step S20).

[0111] When the completion of the input operation corresponds to any of the multiple production timings (YES in step S20), the providing unit 22 extracts the production information corresponding to the corresponding production timing from the production information table, transmits the extracted production information to the immersive production server 13 (step S21), and proceeds to step S22.

[0112] For example, assuming that according to the action guideline table shown in FIG. 2, the completion of the operation related to the establishment of the alert system is input during the period from 19:10, which is the start time shown in the entry in the second row. In this case, since the completion of the operation related to the establishment of the alert system corresponds to the production timing "Completion of the operation for establishing the alert system" in the production information table of FIG. 3, the providing unit 22 transmits the corresponding production information "Display of staff gathering video 01" to the immersive production server 13.

[0113] When the completion of the input operation does not correspond to any of the multiple production timings (NO in step S20), the determination unit 21 proceeds to step S22.

[0114] Next, in step S22, the determination unit 21 determines whether or not a predetermined time (period) corresponding to the entry in the i-th row has elapsed. The predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the i-th row is the time from when the process corresponding to the entry in the i-th row starts until the process shifts to the process corresponding to the entry in the next row (i.e., the (i + 1)-th row) of the action guideline table. For example, in the example of the action guideline table in FIG. 2, the predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the first row is 10 minutes (the time from 19:00 to 19:10), and the predetermined time for the second row is 20 minutes (the time from 19:00 to 19:30). Note that instead of determining whether or not the predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the i-th row has elapsed, the determination unit 21 may determine whether or not the time has come when the process corresponding to the entry in the (i + 1)-th row starts.

[0115] If the predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the i-th row has not elapsed (NO in step S22), the determination unit 21 returns to step S19. That is, until the predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the i-th row elapses, the procedures from step S19 to step S21 based on the input of completion of the work are repeatedly performed.

[0116] If the predetermined time corresponding to the entry in the i-th row has elapsed (YES in step S22), the determination unit 21 increments the variable i (step S23). That is, the determination unit 21 adds 1 to the variable i. If the variable i is less than or equal to n, the determination unit returns to step S16. That is, the procedures from step S16 to step S22 for the entry in the next row in the action guideline table are further executed. On the other hand, if the variable i exceeds n, the determination unit 21 proceeds to step S24.

[0117] Next, in step S24, the determination unit 21 ends the training based on the action guideline table.

[0118] In step S25, the providing unit 22 notifies the immersive experience production server 13 that the training has ended. Thereafter, in response to the training system 60 ending in step S26, the training control process ends.

[0119] Through the above training control process, while the training based on the action guideline table is being conducted, the training device 11 can transmit corresponding production information to the immersive production server 13 according to whether the current state of the dam or the progress of the work corresponds to the production timing.

[0120] Figure 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the production control process executed in the immersive production server 13. The production control process is a process of performing productions according to the state of the dam and the progress of the work in the training of the operator based on the action guideline table. The immersive production server 13 executes the production control process, for example, in response to the start of training and the instruction of the discharge method of the training target being given by the dam manager.

[0121] After the training system 60 is started in step S30, in step S31, the acquisition unit 26 of the immersive production server 13 determines whether it has received production information from the training device 11.

[0122] If it has not received production information from the training device 11 (NO in step S31), the acquisition unit 26 proceeds to step S38.

[0123] If it has received production information from the training device 11 (YES in step S31), in step S32, the production unit 27 determines whether the production information acquired by the acquisition unit 26 is information indicating the display of a video.

[0124] If the production information is information indicating the display of a video (YES in step S32), the production unit 27 reads out the video data corresponding to the production information from the video DB 23 (step S33). The production unit 27 sends the read video data to the production screen creation unit 28.

[0125] In step S34, the production screen creation unit 28 causes the production monitor 14 to display the video based on the video data received from the production unit 27, and proceeds to step S35. Specifically, the production screen creation unit 28 generates a display signal based on the video data and sends it to the production monitor 14. As a result, the video indicated in the production information is displayed on the production monitor 14.

[0126] In addition, when the production screen creation unit 28 receives video data from the production unit 27 and there is already another video being displayed on the production monitor 14, the production screen creation unit 28 may cause the production monitor 14 to display a plurality of videos by adjusting the display size of each video on the screen. In this case, the production screen creation unit 28 generates a display signal for displaying the plurality of videos in respective divided regions on the screen.

[0127] If the production information is not information indicating video display (NO in step S32), the production unit 27 proceeds to step S35.

[0128] Next, in step S35, the production unit 27 determines whether the production information acquired by the acquisition unit 26 is information indicating audio output.

[0129] If the production information is information indicating audio output (YES in step S35), in step S36, the production unit 27 reads out the audio data corresponding to the production information from the audio DB 24. The production unit 27 sends the read audio data to the production audio output unit 29.

[0130] In step S37, the production audio output unit 29 causes the speaker 14a provided in the production monitor 14 to output the audio based on the audio data received from the production unit 27, and proceeds to step S38. Specifically, the production audio output unit 29 generates an audio signal based on the audio data and sends it to the speaker 14a. As a result, the audio indicated in the production information is output from the speaker 14a.

[0131] In addition, when the effect sound blowing unit 29 receives voice data from the effect unit 27, if other voices are already being output from the speaker 14a, the volumes of the respective voices may be adjusted so that a plurality of voices are output from the speaker 14a. In this case, the effect sound blowing unit 29 generates a voice signal adjusted based on the importance of each voice for which the volume of each voice is predetermined.

[0132] When the effect information is not information indicating voice output (NO in step S35), the effect unit 27 proceeds to step S38.

[0133] Next, in step S38, the acquisition unit 26 determines whether it has been notified from the training device 11 that the training has ended.

[0134] When it has not been notified that the training has ended (NO in step S38), the acquisition unit 26 returns to step S31. That is, the procedures from step S31 to step S37 are further performed.

[0135] When it has been notified that the training has ended (YES in step S38), the effect control process ends.

[0136] Through the above-described effect control process, the immersive effect server 13 can perform an effect based on the effect information received from the training device 11. Specifically, the immersive effect server 13 can perform at least one of causing the effect monitor 14 to display a video based on the video data corresponding to the received effect information and causing the speaker 14a to output a voice based on the voice data corresponding to the received effect information.

[0137] As described above, in the training system 60 of the first embodiment, in the training performed based on the action guideline table, in response to either one of a plurality of states related to the dam (for example, rainfall and water storage level) and the completion of one of a plurality of operations related to the dam being the effect timing, at least one of a video and a voice corresponding to the effect timing is output to the effect monitor 14.

[0138] By outputting images or sounds at appropriate performance timings, the training system 60 can create a tense situation such as when the dam release operation is actually carried out. The operator being trained can, by visually and auditorily recognizing such a tense situation, train with a sense of tension in performing important operations that may cause flooding in the downstream area. Therefore, in the training conducted by the training system 60 of the present embodiment, the operator can obtain a higher training effect than, for example, training that is carried out while only looking at numerical values.

[0139] (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the performance in the training based on the action guideline table is controlled by the training system 60 within the dam management system 50. In contrast, in the second embodiment, the performance in the training based on the action guideline table is controlled by a cloud server (dam management training device) connected to the dam management system.

[0140] The configuration of the dam management system in the second embodiment is the same as that of the dam management system 50 in the first embodiment. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the configuration for controlling the performance in the training based on the action guideline table is provided as a cloud server instead of the training system 60 and the immersive performance server 13. Hereinafter, the differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the components that are the same as those in the first embodiment. Also, when performing the same processing as in the first embodiment, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0141] FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the cloud server and the dam management system according to the second embodiment.

[0142] The dam management system 50a includes, for example, a machine-side operation panel 1, an input / output device 2, a water level measuring device 3, a remote manual operation device 4, a control system LAN 5, a first discharge operation device 6, a second discharge operation device 7, an information system LAN 8, an information input / providing device 9, various observation devices 10, a training device monitor 12, and a production monitor 14. The dam management system 50a is the same as the first embodiment except that the training device monitor 12 and the production monitor 14 are directly connected to the information system LAN 8. The training device monitor 12 and the production monitor 14 are installed, for example, within the dam management office.

[0143] Furthermore, a cloud server 40 is connected to the information system LAN 8 via a network 30 such as the Internet.

[0144] The cloud server 40 is a server device (server computer) that manages the training of workers and controls the production of a sense of presence during training. The cloud server 40 is provided independently of the dam management system 50a. The cloud server 40 has a hardware configuration of a general computer, such as a processor, ROM, RAM, a storage device, and a communication device, for example. The cloud server 40 is installed, for example, at an arbitrary location different from the dam management office.

[0145] The cloud server 40 has a configuration corresponding to the training system 60 according to the first embodiment (that is, a configuration combining the training device 11 and the sense-of-presence production server 13). Specifically, the cloud server 40 includes, for example, a training DB 17, an operation unit 18, a training screen creation unit 19, a training control unit 20, a video DB 23, an audio DB 24, a production control unit 25, a production screen creation unit 28, and a production audio sounding unit 29. The training control unit 20 includes a determination unit 21 and a provision unit 22. The production control unit 25 includes an acquisition unit 26 and a production unit 27.

[0146] The configurations of the training DB 17, the video DB 23, and the audio DB 24 are as described above in the first embodiment. Note that, for each of the training DB 17, the video DB 23, and the audio DB 24, for example, a storage area of a storage device provided in the cloud server 40 is allocated.

[0147] The configurations and operations of the operation unit 18, training screen creation unit 19, determination unit 21, provision unit 22, acquisition unit 26, presentation unit 27, presentation screen creation unit 28, and presentation voice output unit 29 are the same as those in the first embodiment, except that the paths for transmitting and receiving various types of information (data, signals) are different. Specifically, the operation unit 18, training screen creation unit 19, determination unit 21, and provision unit 22 execute the training control process described above with reference to FIG. 11 using the training DB 17. Also, the acquisition unit 26, presentation unit 27, presentation screen creation unit 28, and presentation voice output unit 29 execute the presentation control process described above with reference to FIG. 12 using the video DB 23 and the audio DB 24.

[0148] Note that for the provision unit 22, operation unit 18, training screen creation unit 19, presentation screen creation unit 28, and presentation voice output unit 29, the paths for transmitting and receiving various types of information are different from those in the first embodiment.

[0149] Specifically, the provision unit 22 sends the presentation information to the acquisition unit 26 within the cloud server 40 (i.e., without going through the information system LAN 8). Also, the provision unit 22 distributes the action guideline table to the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 via the network 30, the information system LAN 8, and the information input / provision device 9.

[0150] The operation unit 18 receives information indicating the completion of the work (work completion information) shown in the action guideline table transmitted (input) from the dam administrator PC 15 and the dam-related person terminal 16 via the information input / provision device 9, the information system LAN 8, and the network 30. In response to receiving the work completion information, the operation unit 18 updates the action guideline table to indicate that the corresponding work has been completed.

[0151] The training screen creation unit 19 transmits a display signal generated based on the information (e.g., the action guideline table) acquired from the training DB 17 to the training device monitor 12 via the network 30 and the information system LAN 8. Thereby, the training screen creation unit 19 causes the training device monitor 12 to display an information-providing image based on the display signal.

[0152] The production screen creation unit 28 transmits a display signal generated based on video data corresponding to the production information received from the provision unit 22 to the production monitor 14 via the network 30 and the information system LAN 8. As a result, the production screen creation unit 28 causes the production monitor 14 installed within the dam management office to display a video based on the display signal.

[0153] Also, the production voice output unit 29 transmits an audio signal generated based on audio data corresponding to the production information received from the provision unit 22 to the speaker 14a provided in the production monitor 14 via the network 30 and the information system LAN 8. As a result, the production voice output unit 29 causes the speaker 14a of the production monitor 14 installed within the dam management office to output an audio based on the audio signal.

[0154] As described above, the cloud server 40 according to the second embodiment is connected to the dam management system 50a via the network 30 and has functions corresponding to the training system 60 and the immersive production server 13 according to the first embodiment. With the cloud server 40, it is possible to easily introduce functions for realizing training based on the action guideline table and production during training to the existing dam management system 50a without incorporating the training system 60 into the dam management system 50a.

[0155] Also, various types of data (for example, action guideline tables, production information tables, video data, and audio data) stored in the training DB 17, video DB 23, and audio DB 24 of the cloud server 40 can be easily updated, for example, by connecting from an arbitrary computer to the cloud server 40 via the network 30.

[0156] As a result, for example, it becomes easy to update data for enhancing the effect of training, such as performing training using more accurate data and using video data and audio data with high production effects for training.

[0157] In the example of FIG. 13, an example is shown in which the cloud server 40 is connected to a dam management system 50a that manages one dam. However, the cloud server 40 may be connected to one dam management system 50a that manages a plurality of dams, or a plurality of dam management systems 50a that each manage a plurality of dams.

[0158] When connected to one or a plurality of dam management systems 50a that manage a plurality of dams, data suitable for each of those plurality of dams is stored in each of the training DB 17, the video DB 23, and the audio DB 24. When worker training is performed at a certain dam, the cloud server 40 performs training control processing and production control processing using the data corresponding to that dam.

[0159] Therefore, the cloud server 40 can easily introduce the functions of realizing training based on the action guideline table and the production during training even for one or a plurality of dam management systems 50a that manage a plurality of dams, without incorporating the training system 60 into the dam management system 50a.

[0160] According to at least one of the embodiments described above, it is possible to provide a training system, a dam management training system, a dam management training device, and a dam management training control method that can enhance the effect of training during dam operation training.

[0161] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the invention described in the claims and its equivalent scope.
