Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information control system, an information control method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the threat of natural disasters such as earthquakes and heavy rains has increased, as has the threat of illegal intrusion into territorial airspace and waters by suspicious aircraft and ships. Therefore, when a natural disaster occurs or an attack from an enemy aircraft occurs, it is necessary to quickly assess the situation on site and determine appropriate countermeasures based on the assessed situation. Furthermore, even when the above-mentioned damage has not occurred, it is necessary to inspect the terrain and buildings to prevent cliff collapses and the collapse of infrastructure structures, and to determine appropriate countermeasures based on the on-site situation assessed through the inspection work.

[0003] As a technology for supporting decision-making by each department of a response organization when a disaster occurs, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that creates decision-making support information for determining the next countermeasure to be implemented based on disaster information, disaster prevention plan rules, decision-making history information, etc., and has a decision-making information execution unit that accepts instructions input in response to the decision-making support information presented to the person in charge of countermeasures and executes processing corresponding to the accepted instructions, and also creates a schedule for countermeasure work.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-48073 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When a natural disaster, an attack from an enemy aircraft, or the like occurs, the situation at the site changes rapidly in a short period of time, especially for a certain period immediately after the crisis occurs. Therefore, when grasping the situation in a target area using sensing technology using an aerial vehicle and determining countermeasures based on the grasped situation, it is necessary to quickly grasp the situation by carrying out sensing work using the aerial vehicle in order to obtain the damage situation and other on-site conditions in real time. However, Patent Document 1 does not consider the possibility of quickly grasping the situation by carrying out sensing work using an aerial vehicle.

[0006] Furthermore, in order to continuously grasp changes in the situation through sensing by an aerial vehicle, there are potential problems, such as the lack of a means to accept requests for additional sensing, the lack of a means of communication between the requester of additional sensing and the person in charge of carrying out sensing by the aerial vehicle, the inability to properly determine the pre- or post-work for additional sensing, and the difficulty in quickly sharing the latest situation obtained through additional sensing with the requester.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to address at least one of the problems mentioned above, and one of its objectives is to provide a system that can grasp the situation on site more quickly by using sensing by an aircraft. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to the present invention, an information control system is obtained which includes a measurement request acquisition unit that receives a measurement request for data acquisition to acquire sensing data of a target area using a sensor mounted on an aircraft, and further includes at least one of: a work command generation unit that, when the measurement request is received by the measurement request acquisition unit, generates a work instruction or work plan in accordance with the measurement request, the work instruction or plan including at least one of pre-work to be performed before data acquisition, post-work to be performed after data acquisition, and data acquisition work; and an information output unit that, when the measurement request is received by the measurement request acquisition unit, outputs the measurement request, the work instruction, or the work plan to a terminal of a party involved in at least one of the pre-work, the post-work, and the data acquisition work. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a system can be provided that can more quickly grasp changes in the situation on site by utilizing sensing by an aircraft. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] <A. First Embodiment><S Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. Further, the embodiments shown below are merely examples, and other known elements and alternative means can be adopted according to the use, purpose, scale, etc.

[0013] [A-1. Configuration] (A-1-1. Outline of Information Control System 1) FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an information control system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing stakeholders related to the information control system 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the information control system 1 (hereinafter, also referred to as "system 1") includes a data acquisition system 1000, a spatial information data utilization system 2000, a measurement support system (3000), a data acquisition site command system 4000, a crisis countermeasure site command system 5000, an equipment and material management system 6000, and a resource reservation system 7000. Each system operates in cooperation by performing information communication with each other via an Internet line or the like.

[0014] It should be noted that in the original text, there is a missing closing parenthesis in the description of the "measurement support system (3000)" in line 16. I have added it in the translation for the sake of integrity. If this is not allowed according to your strict requirements, please let me know and I will adjust accordingly.The data acquisition system 1000 controls an aircraft or other flying object equipped with sensors including optical cameras, infrared cameras, and laser sensors such as LiDAR to acquire aerial sensing data by sensing information about a target area from the sky. The system may also have a function for remotely controlling the flying object by exchanging control information related to flight control and measurement control with the flying object. The data acquisition system 1000 may also be configured as a mobile object such as a mobile vehicle or ship, or as a stationary building (fixed type).

[0015] The spatial information data utilization system 2000 processes the aerial sensing data acquired by the data acquisition system 1000 to generate orthoimages, three-dimensional spatial models, three-dimensional spatial data, etc. Furthermore, it may have a function to generate map images by integrating the generated orthoimages with pre-recorded polygon geographic information, etc. The generated orthoimages and map images may be provided to external systems (not shown) such as mobile terminals of general consumers (not shown) or news organizations.

[0016] The measurement support system 3000 acquires orthoimages and map images from the spatial information data utilization system 2000, acquires information on the status of on-site units and information on the damage situation from the crisis response on-site command system 5000 (described later), and generates a common situation diagram that integrates this information. It also acquires information such as additional measurement requests and data acquisition conditions from the crisis response on-site command system 5000 (described later), acquires information on the work status at the data acquisition site from the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 (described later), and generates a data acquisition plan based on this acquired information and sends measurement commands to the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 and the facility equipment management system 6000. The functions of the spatial information data utilization system 2000 and the measurement support system 3000 can also be implemented in a common device and configured as a single subsystem. Alternatively, the functions of the measurement support system 3000 and the crisis response on-site command system 5000 can also be implemented in a common housing and configured as a single subsystem.

[0017] The data acquisition site command system 4000 includes a data acquisition supervision device 4100 (described later) and a plurality of data acquisition site staff terminals 4300. The data acquisition site command system 4000 is communicably connected to the measurement support system 3000, and acquires various information including additional data measurement request information from the measurement support system 3000. The data acquisition site command system 4000 also transmits various information including adjustment request information for data acquisition conditions to the measurement support system 3000.

[0018] The crisis response on-site command system 5000 includes a crisis response supervisory device 5100 (described later) and a plurality of crisis response on-site unit terminals 5300. The crisis response on-site command system 5000 is communicably connected to the measurement support system 3000, and transmits information such as additional measurement requests and data acquisition conditions to the measurement support system 3000. The crisis response on-site command system 5000 also acquires various information such as data acquisition plans and common situation diagrams from the measurement support system 3000.

[0019] The equipment management system 6000 is communicatively connected to the measurement support system 3000, acquires pre-preparation work commands and post-work commands from the measurement support system 3000, and transmits resource status information to the measurement support system 3000. In addition, the resource reservation system 7000 is communicatively connected to the equipment management system 6000, receives resource reservation commands from the equipment management system 6000, and transmits resource reservation status information to the equipment management system 6000.

[0020] (A-1-2. Stakeholders) Each system constituting the information control system 1 shown in FIG. 1 has users who use the user interface devices (having a display unit, an input unit, etc.) provided in each system. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing stakeholders related to the information control system 1. In the example shown in FIG. 2, for example, the users who use the data acquisition system 1000 and the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 are the data acquisition manager and the field units at the data acquisition site, the user of the spatial information data utilization system 2000 is the map image generation manager, and the users of the crisis response on-site command system 5000 are the crisis response headquarters manager and the field units at the crisis response site. Furthermore, the user who uses the facility and equipment management system 6000 is the facility and equipment manager, and the user of the resource reservation system 7000 is the reservation manager.

[0021] (A-1-3. Overview of the work process) Next, we will explain the process of each operation that is executed in the information control system 1 immediately after the occurrence of an incident such as a disaster. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the operation process of the information control system 1. It is generally known that the state cycle related to the occurrence of an incident such as a disaster goes through the following order: incident occurrence, hyperacute phase, acute phase, subacute phase, chronic phase, calm phase, and incident occurrence again. This diagram shows the operation process from the occurrence of an incident to the hyperacute phase (for example, several days).

[0022] In this figure, for example, operations such as "initial judgment" indicated by a solid line are executed by the crisis management headquarters manager (crisis management control device 5100), operations such as "data acquisition" indicated by a dotted line are executed by the data acquisition field command system 4000, the data acquisition system 1000, the facility and equipment management system 6000, and the resource reservation system 7000, operations such as "map image creation" indicated by a dashed dotted line are executed by the spatial information data utilization system 2000, and operations such as "measurement condition determination and adjustment" indicated by a thick solid line are executed by the measurement support system 3000.

[0023] In the example shown in this figure, first, after a disaster occurs, the disaster response headquarters manager makes an initial decision, such as deciding whether to send an on-site inspection team or carry out various tasks such as information gathering. Next, the measurement support system 3000 determines the measurement conditions and coordinates the measurement conditions with the on-site location. Next, the data acquisition on-site command system 4000, the equipment management system 6000, the resource reservation system, etc. perform pre-measurement work, after which the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 performs data acquisition work using an aircraft. Next, the data acquisition on-site command system 4000, the equipment management system 6000, the resource reservation system, etc. perform post-measurement work, and the spatial information data utilization system 2000 creates a map image.

[0024] Next, the disaster response headquarters manager assesses the situation at the disaster site based on the map image and a common situation map containing that information. If the disaster response headquarters manager determines that there is insufficient information to assess the situation, a request for additional measurements is accepted from the disaster response headquarters manager. On the other hand, if the disaster response headquarters manager determines that the information necessary to assess the situation has been acquired and that there is no insufficient information, a secondary work decision is made. When making a secondary work decision, the priority of the work is determined from multiple candidate work items, and work instructions or a work plan is generated.

[0025] When an additional measurement request is received from the disaster response headquarters manager, the measurement support system 3000 determines the measurement conditions and adjusts the measurement conditions with the site. Here, since the purpose of the additional measurement is to make up for a lack of information for understanding the situation, the measurement request type of the additional measurement request received from the disaster response headquarters manager may be, for example, acquisition of more detailed data than the previously acquired sensing data (using an aircraft), or reacquisition of data under the same conditions as the previous data acquisition. Therefore, when the measurement support system 3000 determines the measurement conditions, it determines the measurement conditions according to the measurement request type.

[0026] Next, as described above, the preparatory work, data acquisition, post-work, and map image creation are performed, and the situation is assessed again before a secondary work decision is made. The disaster response headquarters manager then determines whether additional measurements are necessary to make a tertiary work decision. If it is determined that additional measurements are necessary, a request for additional measurements is accepted from the disaster response headquarters manager. On the other hand, if it is determined that additional measurements are not necessary, a tertiary work decision is made. When making a tertiary work decision, similar to the secondary work decision, the priority of a number of candidate tasks is determined, and work instructions or a work plan is generated.

[0027] Here, since the purpose of the additional measurement is to collect new information for making a tertiary work decision, the measurement request type of the additional measurement request received from the disaster response headquarters manager will be, for example, multiple repetitions of data acquisition or acquisition of data in a different area. Therefore, the measurement condition determination by the measurement support system 3000 determines the measurement conditions according to the measurement request type. Then, as described above, the pre-work, data acquisition, post-work, and map image creation are performed, and the situation is grasped again before the tertiary work decision is made.

[0028] As shown in this diagram, in order to quickly acquire data using an aircraft after an incident such as a disaster, it is necessary to quickly carry out pre- and post-operation work before and after the data acquisition work. In addition, in order to quickly carry out such pre- and post-operation work, it is necessary to determine detailed measurement conditions and smoothly coordinate with on-site personnel.

[0029] (A-1-4. Data Acquisition System 1000) 4 is a configuration diagram of a data acquisition system. The data acquisition system 1000 includes an aircraft control system 1100, an aircraft flight operation system 1200, an acquired data management system 1300, a communication infrastructure management system 1400, a logistics support system 1500, a flight management system 1600, and an airspace surveillance and control system 1700.

[0030] The aircraft control system 1100 is a system implemented in an aircraft or other flying object, and performs aircraft control including flight control and measurement control of the flying object. The aircraft control system 1100 includes, for example, a flight unit having a flight function, a sensing unit that performs sensing using sensors (optical cameras, IR cameras, LiDAR, other laser sensors, etc.), a communication unit that communicates with each system via a communication infrastructure management system (described later) via satellites, a mobile phone communication network, etc., a state determination unit that determines each state of flight, sensing, and positioning, a data recording unit that records acquired data, etc., and a state determination result recording unit that records information related to flight control and measurement control, as well as state determination results.

[0031] In this specification, the term "aircraft" refers to any flying object capable of autonomous attitude control, regardless of the power source (electric power, prime mover, etc.), the control method (wireless or wired, fully autonomous flight or partially manual flight, etc.), and whether manned or unmanned. Aircraft may also be referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), multicopters, remote piloted aircraft systems (RPASs), or unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Aircraft may be fixed-wing aircraft, multicopters with multiple propellers, or VTOL aircraft with both fixed wings and multiple propellers. The term "aircraft" also refers to any device that flies in the sky, such as balloons and satellites (including low-earth orbit satellites and geostationary orbit satellites), in addition to the aircraft mentioned above.

[0032] The aircraft flight operating system 1200 is a system that generates a flight mission for the aircraft controlled by the aircraft control system 1100 and controls the movement of the aircraft. The flight mission is, for example, a movement plan including the movement route and movement speed of the aircraft, and the movement route is generated, for example, in an airspace at an altitude of 100 to 6000 m. The aircraft flight operating system 1200 transmits control signals to the aircraft via the communication infrastructure management system 1400, which will be described later, in order to operate the aircraft automatically.

[0033] The acquired data management system 1300 has a data management function that acquires and records acquired data (optical image data, IR image data, point cloud data acquired by laser sensors such as LiDAR, other spatial data, etc.) and status data of the target area sensed by the aircraft control system via communication infrastructure management.

[0034] The communication infrastructure management system 1400 is a system that manages communication means for data (such as sensing data acquired by sensing using an aircraft) transmitted and received between the aircraft control system 1100 and other systems within the data acquisition system 1000, as well as for control information related to the flight and measurement control of the aircraft. Furthermore, the communication infrastructure management system 1400 manages communication means for data (such as sensing data acquired by sensing using an aircraft) transmitted and received between the data acquisition system 1000 and the spatial information data utilization system 2000.

[0035] The flight management system 1600 is a system that makes decisions and gives instructions for the operation of an aircraft. The flight management system 1600 prepares plans for operations of the aircraft, including, for example, sensing and flight, and transmits the plans to the aircraft control system 1100 that controls the aircraft via the communication infrastructure management system 1400. The flight management system 1600 may prepare plans for multiple aircraft and transmit information about the plans to the aircraft control systems 1100 that control each of the aircraft.

[0036] The airspace monitoring and control system 1700 is a system that monitors the airspace in which the target aircraft is flying. The airspace monitoring and control system 1700 acquires information on the position of the aircraft, etc. from an air traffic control system 9000 that controls the aircraft flying in the target airspace.

The aforementioned "preparation of flight reports after aircraft flights" includes preparation of flight performance reports based on flight performance for government agencies and local governments in accordance with laws, regulations, and guidelines. The aforementioned "arranging waiting areas for personnel, including aircraft pilots" includes arranging accommodation and daytime waiting areas for personnel, including aircraft pilots, takeoff and landing personnel, communications infrastructure management personnel, airspace monitors, acquired data managers, and aircraft pre-inspection personnel, until their next mission.

[0165] Furthermore, the above-mentioned "notification of the scheduled delivery time of sensing data or delivery information obtained by processing the sensing data" includes the work of notifying relevant parties at the delivery destination in advance of the scheduled delivery time of delivery information that will be delivered to relevant parties or the public from the spatial information data utilization system 2000 or the measurement support system 3000. Furthermore, the above-mentioned "arranging a location for post-use maintenance of an aircraft or measurement sensor and a storage location for the equipment" includes the work of confirming and reserving a location for maintenance, repair, and diagnosis of the aircraft or measurement sensor, and the work of confirming and reserving a storage location for the aircraft or measurement sensor and other equipment.

[0166] The map image generation command unit 3740 includes a map image generation priority determination unit 3741, a map image creation plan generation unit 3742, and a map image creation plan transmission unit 3743, and is a functional unit that generates a work command or a work plan related to the map image creation work to be carried out by the spatial information data utilization system 2000. First, the map image creation priority determination unit 3741 is a functional unit that determines the priority of a single or multiple measurement requests or map image creation work corresponding to the measurement requests acquired by the measurement request acquisition unit 3300.

[0167] Next, the map image creation plan generating unit 3742 generates a map image creation plan including priorities of multiple map image creation tasks to be executed in the map image generating unit 2400 according to the determined measurement request or the priority of the map image creation task corresponding to the measurement request. Specifically, the map image creation plan generating unit 3742 compares the priority of the determined measurement request or the map image creation task corresponding to the measurement request with the priority of each creation task included in the already planned map image creation plan, and generates a map image creation plan that incorporates the creation task corresponding to the measurement request into the already planned creation plan so that the creation task with the higher priority is performed first or is performed according to the desired creation time. In addition, the map image creation plan transmitting unit 3743 is a functional unit that transmits the work command or work plan generated by the map image creation plan generating unit 3742 to the spatial information data utilization system 2000.

[0175] (A-1-16. Flowchart of information control system) Next, we will explain the control flow of the entire information control system 1. Fig. 16 is a flowchart showing the control flow of the information control system of the present invention.

[0176] First, the map image acquisition unit 3130 of the measurement support system 3000 acquires information such as map images (map information, aerial sensing data, map images, orthoimages, spatial data, etc.) (step 101). An example of a map image acquired in this step is shown in Fig. 17. Fig. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a map image acquired by the map image acquisition unit 3130. The example shown in this figure shows a map image obtained by integrating an orthoimage generated from an aerial image of the area around a river in a mountainous area acquired by an aircraft with map data.

[0177] Next, the crisis response site information acquisition unit 3110, data acquisition site information acquisition unit 3120, and automatic damage status interpretation unit 3140 of the measurement support system 3000 acquire the status of the on-site team at the crisis response site, the status of the on-site staff at the data acquisition site, and damage information for the target area (step 102).

[0178] Next, the common situation diagram sharing unit 3200 of the measurement support system 3000 creates a common situation diagram (integrated information) and transmits it to each terminal device of the crisis response on-site command system 5000 and the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 (step 103).

[0179] Next, the measurement request acquisition unit 3300 of the measurement support system 3000 acquires a measurement request from the crisis response control device 5100 of the crisis response field command system 5000 (step 104).

[0180] Next, the measurement request acquisition unit 3300 of the measurement support system 3000 determines whether or not a measurement request has been acquired, and if a measurement request has not been acquired, the processing of this flowchart is terminated, and if a measurement request has been acquired, the process proceeds to the next step 106 (step 105).

[0181] Next, the measurement condition determination unit 3400 of the measurement support system 3000 determines the measurement conditions based on the acquired measurement request information, and the measurement condition adjustment unit 3500 adjusts the measurement conditions to be agreed upon by both the data acquisition site and the measurement request source (step 106).

[0182] Next, the resource status grasping unit 3600 of the measurement support system 3000 grasps the status of each resource involved in the data measurement work corresponding to the measurement request (step 107).

[0183] Next, the data acquisition plan command unit 3710 of the measurement support system 3000 generates a measurement command or a measurement plan for each task related to the data acquisition work (measurement work) and transmits it to the devices of the relevant parties, including the data acquisition supervision device 4100 (step 108).

[0184] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 of the measurement support system 3000 generates a command for advance work and transmits the advance work command to the facility equipment management system 6000 and the data acquisition site command system 4000 (step 109).

[0185] Next, the post-work command unit 3730 of the measurement support system 3000 generates a command for the post-work and transmits the pre-work command to the facility equipment management system 6000 and the data acquisition site command system 4000 (step 110).

[0186] Next, the map image generation command unit 3740 of the measurement support system 3000 generates a work command or work plan for the map image generation work to be carried out by the spatial information data utilization system 2000, and sends a map image generation command to the spatial information data utilization system 2000 (step 111).

[0187] (A-1-17. Acquiring on-site and damage information) Next, a detailed description will be given of the processing flow when acquiring site information and damage information in each system in the information control system 1. Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when acquiring site information and damage information in each system constituting the information control system 1.

[0188] First, the work status information of the on-site team and the on-site staff is acquired by the crisis response on-site team terminal 5300 and the data acquisition on-site staff terminal 4300 (step 201). For example, the content of the work being performed, work progress information (such as whether the work is behind schedule or progressing faster than schedule), past activity history information of the on-site team or staff, or future work plans of the on-site team or staff are acquired as user-manually input information or the measurement information.

[0189] Next, the emergency response field team terminal 5300 and the data acquisition field staff terminal 4300 acquire location information of the field team and the field staff (step 202). For example, in addition to the location information, information such as speed information and acceleration is acquired as information input by the user or as measurement information by a sensor mounted on the emergency response field team terminal 5300.

[0190] Next, resource information of the on-site team and the on-site staff is acquired by the crisis response on-site team terminal 5300 and the data acquisition on-site staff terminal 4300 (step 203). For example, the resource information includes the number of on-site team or staff, the equipment they possess, and the type and amount of facilities they possess.

[0191] Next, the activity status information of the on-site team and the on-site staff is acquired by the crisis response on-site team terminal 5300 and the data acquisition on-site staff terminal 4300 (step 204). For example, the work status information includes work status such as waiting, preparing, running, taking a break, being delayed, completed ahead of schedule, completed, waiting for instructions, instruction change request, waiting for arbitration, etc.

[0192] Next, the disaster information on the disaster site is acquired by the crisis response field team terminal 5300 (step 205). For example, disaster information on the human and material damage situation in the disaster area is acquired as information input from the field team via an input device or the like.

[0193] Next, the automatic damage state interpretation unit 3140 of the measurement support system 3000 interprets the local damage state from the map image (step 206). In this step, when interpreting flooding caused by river overflow, for example, the automatic damage state interpretation unit 3140 can determine the flood area by determining through data processing of the map image that the same color (brown) as the color of the orthoimage in the river area based on the map information also spreads to the land area based on the map information. It is also possible to determine the location of the levee connecting the river area and the flood area as the location of the levee breach.

[0194] Furthermore, based on the information on the details of the damage and the interpretation of the affected area, and on geographic information (such as the number of dwellings, residents, and commercial facilities per district), the number of dwellings and residents within the affected area can be determined and used to determine the scale of the damage. In other words, the number of dwellings and residents in districts within the affected area can be determined as the number of victims requiring rescue and the number of affected dwellings. In addition to interpreting the current damage situation, this step also makes it possible to predict the details of the damage, the affected area, and the scale of the damage in the future.

[0195] (A-1-18. Specific examples of common situation diagrams) Next, an example of a common situation diagram in which various information is integrated into a map image and transmitted to each related party terminal will be described. Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a common situation diagram generated by the common situation diagram sharing unit 3200.

[0196] The common situation diagram shown in this figure shows a common situation diagram of a disaster-stricken area where levees have collapsed, causing rivers to overflow and resulting in flood damage. This common situation diagram shows, on the map image of the area around the river shown in Figure 17, the location and identification information of the crisis response field teams (rescue teams A and B, evacuation centers A, B, and C), the location and identification information of the field data acquisition officer (data acquisition team A), and the flood-damaged area and the location of the levee collapse as interpreted based on the map image.

[0197] (A-1-19. Method of determining measurement conditions) Next, we will explain the measurement condition determination method executed by the measurement condition determination unit 3400. Here, as the measurement condition determination method, we will explain two methods, a method in which the user sets the measurement conditions by manually inputting each measurement condition, and a method in which the system automatically determines the measurement conditions or their candidates, using Figures 20 and 21, respectively.

[0198] (A-1-19-1. Measurement condition determination by user input) First, a method for determining measurement conditions by accepting input of the measurement conditions from a user via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure supervisory device 5100 will be described with reference to Fig. 20. Fig. 20 is a control flow diagram when the measurement condition deciding unit 3400 decides the measurement conditions based on the user input.

[0199] First, the measurement request acquisition unit 3300 acquires information on the necessity of additional measurement received from the crisis countermeasure control device 5100 (step 301).

[0200] Next, if the received additional measurement necessity information is "necessary", the measurement request acquisition unit 3300 transitions the process to step 303, and if it is "no", the process of this flowchart ends (step 302).

[0201] Next, input information on the type of request for additional measurement is acquired from the user (the person in charge of the crisis management headquarters) via the user input acceptance unit 5150 of the crisis management supervisory device 5100 (step 303). Here, the type of request for additional measurement includes at least one of repeating data acquisition multiple times, acquiring more detailed data than previously acquired sensing data using an aircraft or acquiring data from the ground, acquiring data from a different area, and acquiring data again.

[0202] Next, input information on the measurement area or location is acquired from the user (the person in charge of the crisis countermeasure headquarters) via the user input receiving unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure coordination device 5100 (step 304).

[0203] Next, input information of the requested date and time of measurement is acquired from the user (crisis countermeasure headquarters manager) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure supervisory device 5100 (step 305). Here, the requested date and time of measurement includes information on either date or time, or both. In addition to date and time information, this step may also acquire input information instructing weather, solar radiation, and solar altitude.

[0204] Next, input information regarding the period of repeated measurement is acquired from the user (crisis countermeasure headquarters manager) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure supervisory device 5100 (step 306). The input information acquired in this step may further accept input of the repeat interval, repeat frequency, or data acquisition date and time instead of or in addition to the information regarding the period of repeated measurement described above.

[0205] Next, input information on the type of measurement sensor is acquired from the user (crisis countermeasure headquarters manager) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure coordination device 5100 (step 307). The type of measurement sensor acquired in this step includes, for example, an optical camera, a laser sensor such as LiDAR that acquires point cloud data, an IR camera, a stereo camera that can generate spatial data by SfM (Structure from Motion) processing, and the like.

[0206] Next, input information specifying the image resolution of the sensing data is acquired from the user (the person in charge of the crisis management headquarters) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis management coordinating device 5100 (step 308). The input information acquired in this step may be input information specifying the ground resolution instead of or in addition to the image resolution.

[0207] Next, input information specifying the type of aircraft is acquired from the user (the person in charge of the crisis management headquarters) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis management coordination device 5100 (step 309). The type of aircraft acquired in this step includes, for example, a multicopter aircraft, a fixed-wing aircraft, a VTOL aircraft, etc.

[0208] Next, input information specifying the flight conditions of the aircraft is acquired from the user (the person in charge of the emergency response headquarters) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the emergency response supervisory device 5100 (step 310). Here, the flight conditions include the flight altitude, flight speed, and flight direction of the aircraft. In addition to these, flight acceleration, angular velocity, and angular acceleration conditions may also be included.

[0209] The above flowchart shows an example in which various measurement conditions are accepted from the user regardless of the type of request. However, the system can also specify or request the measurement conditions to be subsequently input by the user depending on the type of request in step 303.

[0210] As an example, when the type of measurement request acquired in step 303 is a request for multiple repetitions of data acquisition, detailed information regarding the period of repeated measurement is accepted from the user (crisis countermeasure headquarters manager) via the user input accepting unit 5150 of the crisis countermeasure control device 5100. The detailed information regarding the period of repeated measurement is, for example, the period of repeated measurement, the repeat interval, or the repeat frequency, or the date and time of data acquisition.

[0211] As another example, if the type of measurement request acquired in step 303 is to acquire more detailed data than previously acquired sensing data and to acquire data using an aircraft, at least one of the resolution of the sensing data, the area or location to be acquired, the sensing direction for acquiring the data, the date and time of data acquisition, the type of aircraft used to acquire the data, the flight altitude, flight speed, and flight direction of the aircraft is further accepted from the user (the person in charge of the crisis management headquarters) via the user input acceptance unit 5150 of the crisis management coordination device 5100.

[0212] As another example, if the type of measurement request acquired in step 303 is to acquire more detailed data than previously acquired sensing data from the ground, the user (crisis management headquarters manager) may further input at least one of the following via the user input receiving unit 5150 of the crisis management control device 5100: the resolution of the sensing data, the area or location to be acquired, the sensing direction of data acquisition, and the date and time of data acquisition.

[0213] As another example, if the type of measurement request acquired in step 303 is to acquire data for another area, an area that is at least partially different from the area where data was previously acquired is accepted as the target area for data acquisition from the user (crisis management headquarters manager) via the user input acceptance unit 5150 of the crisis management control device 5100.

[0214] As another example, if the type of measurement request acquired in step 303 is data reacquisition, the same area or a part of the same area as the area where data was previously acquired is set as the target area for data acquisition.

[0215] (A-1-19-2. Automatic determination of measurement conditions by the system) Next, a method in which the system automatically determines the measurement conditions will be described with reference to Fig. 21. Fig. 21 is a control flow diagram when the system automatically determines the measurement conditions using the measurement condition determination unit 3400. This diagram particularly shows the control flow when the system automatically determines whether additional measurement is necessary and the type of measurement after measurement work has already been performed.

[0216] First, the disaster area is identified based on the disaster information acquired by the crisis response field team terminal 5300, and the measured area is identified based on the measurement information that has already been measured (step 401).

[0217] Next, the identified disaster area is compared with the measured area to determine whether there is a disaster area in the unmeasured area that has not yet been measured (step 402).If there is a disaster area, the process proceeds to step 403; if there is no disaster area, the process proceeds to step 406.

[0218] Next, in step 403, an additional measurement of an area different from the area already measured is determined as the measurement type (step 403).

[0219] Next, the measurement conditions for additional measurement in another area are determined (step 404). The measurement conditions determined here include, for example, determining an area that is a disaster area and also an unmeasured area as the measurement area.

[0220] Next, the determined candidates for measurement conditions are displayed as a proposal on the external information display unit 4140 of the data acquisition supervisor 4100, and an answer input is received from the user input receiving unit 4160 (step 405). After this step is performed, the processing of this flowchart ends.

[0221] Next, in step 406, it is determined whether the ground resolution of the major affected area is lower than a predetermined value (step 406), and if the resolution is lower than the predetermined value, the process transitions to step 407, whereas if the resolution is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the process transitions to step 409.

[0222] Next, in step 407, a detailed measurement having a higher ground resolution than the previous measurement work is determined as the measurement type (step 407).

[0223] Next, the measurement conditions for the additional detailed measurement are determined (step 408). The measurement conditions determined here include, for example, determining that the measurement area is an area that was measured in the previous measurement operation and that falls within the disaster area. Also, the ground resolution is set to a value higher than that of the previous measurement. After this step is performed, the processing of step 405 described above is executed.

[0224] Next, in step 409, the automatic damage state interpretation unit 3140 of the measurement support system 3000 determines whether there are any areas where the damage state is changing rapidly (step 409), and if there are any areas where the damage state is changing rapidly, the process proceeds to step 410, whereas if there are no areas where the damage state is changing rapidly, the process of this flowchart is terminated. Here, the automatic damage state interpretation unit 3140 can determine areas where the damage state is changing significantly over time from the results of interpreting the damage state based on the results of measurements performed multiple times.

[0225] Next, in step 410, a detailed measurement having a higher ground resolution than the previous measurement work is determined as the measurement type (step 410).

[0226] Next, the measurement conditions for the additional detailed measurement are determined (step 411). The measurement conditions determined here include, for example, determining that the measurement area is an area that was measured in the previous measurement operation and that falls within the disaster area. Also, the ground resolution is set to a value higher than that of the previous measurement. After this step is performed, the processing of step 405 described above is executed.

[0227] As shown in this diagram, the type of measurement request requiring additional measurements can be automatically determined based on measurement information from the aircraft and damage information from the crisis response site, and the measurement conditions can be automatically determined according to that type of measurement request.

[0228] (A-1-20. Measurement condition adjustment function) 22 and 23, a method for adjusting measurement conditions from when a measurement request is received from the crisis response on-site command system 5000 until the measurement conditions are adjusted by the measurement condition adjustment unit 3500 will be described. Fig. 22 is a sequence diagram showing the process when the measurement condition adjustment unit 3500 adjusts the measurement conditions. Fig. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen presented to the user when adjusting the measurement conditions.

[0229] In the sequence diagram shown in Fig. 22, first, measurement request information is sent from the crisis response on-site command system 5000 to the measurement support system 3000. The measurement request information includes information requesting the implementation of additional measurements and information regarding other measurement conditions. Based on the received measurement request information, the measurement support system 3000 determines candidate measurement conditions required for measurement execution using the measurement condition determination unit 3400.

[0230] Next, the determined measurement condition candidates are transmitted to the data acquisition site command system 4000. Next, response information for the measurement condition candidates is acquired from the data acquisition site staff terminal 4300 and the data acquisition supervisory device 4100 in the data acquisition site command system 4000, and transmitted to the measurement support system 3000. Next, the measurement condition adjustment unit 3500 of the measurement support system 3000 modifies the measurement condition candidates based on the response information, and transmits the modified measurement condition candidates and the response information to the crisis response site command system 5000. The crisis response site command system 5000 also receives user response information for the measurement condition candidates from the crisis response supervisory device 5100, and transmits the response information to the measurement support system 3000. The measurement support system 3000 modifies the measurement condition candidates based on the response information, finalizes the measurement conditions, and generates measurement commands or measurement plans for data acquisition, pre-work, and post-work according to the measurement conditions, and transmits them to the data acquisition site command system 4000, etc.

[0231] In the example shown in Figure 22, the response information received by the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 is transmitted to the crisis response on-site command system 5000 via the measurement support system 3000. However, when the measurement condition adjustment communication unit 4150 of the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 receives a communication request from a user, two-way communication may be relayed so that one-way or two-way communication is possible between the data acquisition control device 4100 and the crisis response control device 5100 in voice or text format.

[0232] 23 is an example of a display screen showing measurement conditions displayed in the measurement condition display unit 4143 of the data acquisition on-site command system 4000 or the measurement condition candidate display unit 5142 of the crisis response on-site command system 5000. In the example shown in this figure, information on measurement condition candidates for additional measurement generated by the measurement condition determination unit 3400 is displayed integrated with information on the common situation diagram generated by the common situation diagram sharing unit 3200. In other words, the measurement condition candidates are displayed on a common situation diagram that shows a map image generated by the previous measurement, information on the crisis response on-site team, information on the data acquisition on-site personnel, and damage information.

[0233] In the example of measurement condition candidates shown in this figure, the area in the upper left corner of the figure and the area surrounded by the square in the center are displayed as target areas for which measurement is desired, and the contents of the measurement condition candidates for each area are displayed.The user can check the location of the target areas for which measurement is desired and the detailed contents of the measurement conditions for each area on this display screen.

[0234] In the additional measurement area in the upper left, areas adjacent to the affected area (flooded area) determined by interpreting the previous measurement information may be flooded, so areas adjacent to the affected area but not yet measured are determined as areas for separate measurement. Furthermore, in the additional measurement area in the center, in order to obtain a more detailed understanding of the damage situation around the critical disaster location where a levee breach was detected, it is determined as an area for detailed measurement with a higher ground resolution than the previous one. Note that examples of areas set as target areas for detailed measurement may include areas with the possibility of secondary damage, such as priority search areas, priority rescue areas, critical disaster locations (levee, power plant, etc.), and landslide sites, in addition to the levee breach location, as shown in this figure.

[0235] (A-1-21. Understanding resource status) Next, a description will be given of information on various resources related to data acquisition that is grasped by the facility / equipment management system 6000. Fig. 24 is a table showing resource information acquired by the facility / equipment management system 6000.

[0236] As shown in this diagram, the facility equipment management system 6000 manages information on various resources in various categories, including aircraft, equipment, facilities, and personnel related to data acquisition. Resource information also includes information on type, storage and standby location, availability, advance preparation, and post-operation work. For example, the managed aircraft include a fixed-wing aircraft (10 m wide) and a multicopter (40 cm wide). The resource information for the fixed-wing aircraft indicates that it is stored in storage facility A, is available for use, and requires advance preparations such as refueling and operational diagnostics, and post-operation work such as maintenance, repair, and diagnostics. Similarly, the resource information for the multicopter indicates that it is stored in storage facility B, is available for use, requires advance preparations such as battery charging and operational diagnostics, and requires post-operation work such as maintenance, repair, and diagnostics.

[0237] Similarly, the equipment category manages resource information for camera and LiDAR, the facilities category manages resource information for airports A and B used for takeoff and landing, and the personnel category manages resource information for pilots A and B.

[0238] (A-1-22. Generation of measurement work plan) Next, the work plans for data acquisition work, pre-work, and post-work generated in the plan management unit 3700 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0239] (A-1-22-1. Measurement work plan generation results) First, the results of creating a work plan including data acquisition work, pre-work, and post-work will be described using Fig. 25. Fig. 25 is a process diagram showing an example of a work plan for data acquisition work, pre-work, and post-work created by the plan management unit 3700.

[0240] In the example shown in this figure, the upper part of the drawing shows the original measurement plan, and the lower part of the drawing shows the proposed measurement plan generated by the plan management unit 3700. The upper measurement plan shows a plan to perform an initial measurement followed by multiple repeated measurements at specified intervals. The lower measurement plan proposal shows a measurement plan in which measurements of other areas and detailed measurements added as additional measurement requests have been incorporated into the original measurement plan.

[0241] Here, the plan management unit 3700 determines, by the measurement priority determination 3711, the priorities of the separate area measurement and detailed measurement, which are multiple measurement requests acquired by the measurement request acquisition unit 3300, and the priorities of the repeated measurements A and B included in the initial measurement plan, and determines that the separate area measurement has the highest priority, followed by the detailed measurement, with the repeated measurement having a lower priority than these. The reason separate area measurement is determined to have the highest priority is because the highest priority is to grasp the entire damaged area and identify areas that require rescue. The reason detailed measurement is determined to have the next highest priority is because understanding detailed information about the levee breach point is necessary for determining restoration work for repairing the levee, and therefore has a high priority.

[0242] The plan management unit 3700 generates a work plan proposal so that the work is executed in the order of highest priority based on the priority determination results described above. Therefore, the measurement plan proposal generated by the plan management unit 3700 is a work plan in which the work is executed in the order of initial measurement, separate area measurement, detailed measurement, and repeated measurement A.

[0243] (A-1-22-2. How to generate a work plan for advance work) Next, a method for generating a work command for preliminary work will be described with reference to Fig. 26. Fig. 26 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when the preliminary work command unit 3720 generates a work command for preliminary work.

[0244] First, resource information is acquired by the resource status grasping unit 3600 (step 501). For example, the resource status grasping unit 3600 collects information on available resources.

[0245] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 determines the necessary resources (step 502). For example, the advance work command unit 3720 determines the resources necessary to execute the measurement according to the contents of the measurement conditions adjusted by the measurement condition adjustment unit 3500.

[0246] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 determines where to arrange the resources (step 503). For example, it determines where to arrange the necessary resources based on the information on the necessary resources determined in the previous step and the resource status (particularly, information on available resources).

[0247] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 generates a transport command (step 504). For example, a transport command is generated to transport each resource from the supplier to the site.

[0248] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 generates an advance maintenance command (step 505). For example, the advance maintenance command is generated based on advance preparation information for each resource included in the resource information (illustrated in FIG. 24). As an example, if the resource to be arranged is a photographic camera, an advance maintenance command for operation diagnosis and calibration is generated based on the information on "operation diagnosis, calibration" acquired as advance preparation information.

[0249] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 generates an advance application command (step 506). For example, an application command to an administrative agency or the like required by law or regulation is generated according to the contents of the measurement conditions (particularly, the area, the aircraft type, etc.).

[0250] Next, the advance work command unit 3720 generates work commands for other advance work (step 507), such as confirming the safety of the airspace, selecting a communication means, notifying relevant parties of the scheduled release time of the map image, reserving takeoff and landing sites, etc.

[0251] (A-1-22-3. How to generate a work plan for follow-up work) Next, a method for generating a work command for follow-up work will be described with reference to Fig. 27. Fig. 27 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when the follow-up work command unit 3730 generates a work command for follow-up work.

[0252] First, the post-work command unit 3730 grasps the next usage schedule of each resource (step 601). For example, the next resource usage schedule is determined based on the measurement request acquired by the measurement request acquisition unit 3300.

[0253] Next, the post-maintenance work command unit 3730 generates a post-maintenance work command (step 602). For example, a post-maintenance work command for the used resource is generated based on the post-work information for each resource included in the resource information (illustrated in FIG. 24). As an example, if the resource to be used is a multicopter, post-maintenance commands for maintenance, repair, and diagnosis are generated based on the information on "maintenance, repair, and diagnosis" acquired as the post-maintenance information.

[0254] Next, the post-work command unit 3730 generates a transportation command (step 603). For example, a transportation command is generated to transport each piece of equipment from the usage location to the storage facility based on the information on the storage facility for each resource included in the resource information (illustrated in FIG. 24). Alternatively, a transportation command to a destination determined based on the next scheduled usage location based on the information on the next scheduled usage determined in step 601 may be generated. Alternatively, each resource may be kept waiting at the site without being transported until a map image is generated based on the measured aerial sensing data and a common situation map is distributed to each relevant party via the measurement support system 3000.

[0255] Next, the post-work command unit 3730 generates a report command (step 604). For example, based on the measurement conditions and the measurement work performance information, a request command to be submitted to an administrative agency or the like as required by law or regulation is generated.

[0256] Next, the post-operation work command unit 3730 generates work commands for other post-operation work (step 605), such as confirming the safety of the landing site, notifying relevant parties of the scheduled release time of the map image, reserving a maintenance site, and so on.

[0257] (A-1-23. Generation of map image creation plan) Next, we will explain the map image creation plan generated by the plan management unit 3700. Fig. 28 is a process diagram showing an example of a work plan for data acquisition work, pre-work, and post-work generated by the plan management unit 3700.

[0258] Figure 28 shows the process of processing the work plan for data acquisition work, pre-work, and post-work shown in Figure 25, as well as the process of creating map images and the process of differential analysis based on the map images (process of interpreting the damage situation).

[0259] In the example shown in this figure, the upper part of the figure shows the initial work plan, and the lower part shows the proposed measurement plan generated by the plan management unit 3700. The upper measurement plan shows a plan to perform an initial measurement, create a map image based on the measurement results, and perform difference analysis processing, followed by repeated measurements, map image creation, and difference analysis processing multiple times at specified intervals. The lower measurement plan proposal incorporates a separate area measurement and a detailed measurement, which have been added as additional measurement requests, into the initial measurement plan, and furthermore, the map image creation processing based on the measurement results of the separate area measurement and detailed measurement is a processing execution process that is executed prior to the difference analysis based on the measurement results of the initial measurement.

[0260] In order to grasp the situation on-site more quickly after an incident such as a disaster occurs, it is necessary to quickly provide the user with the measurement results of measurements in other areas and detailed measurements prior to detailed differential analysis processing of the initial measurement results. Therefore, as shown in Figure 28, it is desirable to create a work plan for creating map images and differential analysis work according to the measurement type of the additional measurement request.

[0261] In each of the above-described embodiments, the measurement support system 3000 is equipped with the functions of generating integrated information that combines information on the data acquisition personnel at the data acquisition site, information on the on-site team at the crisis response site, map images, etc., and generating work instructions and work plans for data acquisition, pre-work, and post-work. However, all or part of the functions of the measurement support system 3000 can also be equipped in the spatial information data utilization system 2000, the crisis response control device 5100, or the data acquisition control device 4100.

[0262] The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

[0263] [A-2. Effects of this embodiment] The above-described embodiment can provide a system that can grasp the situation on site more quickly by using sensing by an aircraft. [Explanation of symbols]
