If it is determined that all passengers M are the registered persons M1, the management server 3 opens the gate 102 when the commuter bus 2 arrives in front of the gate 102 of the nuclear power station 101.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a passenger management system for managing passengers who board and disembark from a moving object. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, entry to nuclear power plants is usually restricted to only those involved, and security guards check the identity of passengers when they board a bus to enter the nuclear power plant. In other words, the security guards check the face photo and expiration date printed on the gate pass or employee ID card held by the passenger. In addition, when an outsider without a gate pass gets on the bus, the driver recognizes the outsider, and when the bus arrives in front of the gate of the nuclear power plant, he or she explains that the outsider must get off and complete the entry procedure at the reception or guardhouse. Then, when the gate opens, the bus enters with everyone except outsiders on board.

[0003] Meanwhile, a gate system is known that can establish a gate pass without requiring a large initial investment (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This system obtains information from an information storage medium or user terminal held by a user who gets on or off a mobile object by passing through the gate, which is the entrance or exit of the mobile object, only while the gate is open. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2004-133530 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Conventionally, when a person boarded a bus bound for a nuclear power plant, a security guard would check the person's identity while looking at the gate pass, which not only took time and effort, but also led to the risk of making a mistake in checking. In particular, there was a risk of overlooking an expired gate pass and allowing a person to board. Moreover, when an outsider boarded the bus, the driver had to remember the outsider and let the outsider get off in front of the gate before passing through the gate. This not only placed a burden on the driver, but also led to the risk of allowing an outsider to enter the facility without going through the procedure if the driver forgot.

[0006] On the other hand, in the system of Patent Document 1, although it is possible to easily create a gate pass, it is not possible to identify and manage users who do not have an information storage medium or a user terminal. Moreover, if an unregistered outsider gets on the vehicle, it is not possible to restrict or manage their entry into a nuclear power plant or the like.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger management system that ensures that only authorized passengers are allowed to enter a facility. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problem, the invention of claim 1 comprises a first biometric information acquisition means for acquiring biometric information of each passenger when boarding a moving body heading for a facility, a registered person information storage means for storing registered person information including biometric information of each registered person permitted to enter the facility, and a management means for determining whether the passenger is a registered person based on the biometric information acquired by the first biometric information acquisition means and the biometric information stored in the registered person information storage means, and for controlling opening and closing of a gate of the facility, and when the management means determines that all the passengers are registered people, the management means opens the gate when the moving body arrives in front of the gate of the facility. and further comprising a second biometric information acquisition means for acquiring biometric information of the passenger when the passenger gets off the moving object, and the management means determines that any passenger is an unregistered passenger, and when the moving object arrives in front of a gate of the facility, if the biometric information acquired by the second biometric information acquisition means matches the biometric information of the passenger determined to be an unregistered passenger, opens the gate. This is a passenger management system characterized by the above.

[0009] The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the passenger management system described in claim 1, the registrant information storage means stores an expiration date as the registrant information, and the management means determines whether the passenger is a registrant based on the expiration date of the biometric information stored in the registrant information storage means that matches the biometric information acquired by the first biometric information acquisition means.

[0011] Claim 3 The invention is as follows: 1 or 2 The passenger management system described in the above is characterized in that it is equipped with a third biometric information acquisition means for acquiring biometric information of each passenger when boarding a moving object leaving the facility, and the management means determines whether the passenger is a registered person or not based on the biometric information acquired by the third biometric information acquisition means and the biometric information stored in the registered person information storage means, and opens the gate when the biometric information of a passenger determined to be unregistered matches the biometric information acquired by the second biometric information acquisition means and all remaining passengers are determined to be registered people.

[0012] Claim 4 The invention is as follows: 3 In the passenger management system described in the above, the management means uses an authentication learning model that has been machine-learned based on past performance data so that when the biometric information acquired by the first biometric information acquisition means and the biometric information stored in the registered person information storage means are input, a determination is made as to whether the passenger is a registered person stored in the registered person information storage means. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the invention described in claim 1, whether or not a passenger is a registered person is determined based on the biometric information of the passenger acquired when boarding a moving object heading for a facility, and the gate of the facility is opened when all passengers are determined to be registered. In this way, since the admission of a passenger is automatically determined based on the biometric information of the passenger, not only can the labor and time of security guards and the like be reduced, but also it is possible to determine the admission of a passenger appropriately and quickly. Then, since the gate is opened when all passengers are determined to be registered, it is possible to ensure that only proper passengers are allowed to enter the facility. Moreover, since the gate is automatically opened when the moving object arrives in front of the gate of the facility, it is possible to allow smooth admission. Also, since the passenger is determined and identified based on the biometric information, a gate pass is not required, and even if a registered person forgets his / her gate pass, it is possible to determine and identify the passenger appropriately.

[0014] According to the invention described in claim 2, whether or not a passenger is a registered person is determined based on the expiration date stored in the registered person information storage means, so that it is possible to more appropriately determine whether or not to permit entry. And, since it is possible to determine that the passenger is not a valid or proper registered person if the expiration date has passed, it is possible to more reliably allow only valid passengers to enter the facility.

[0015] Also, claim 1 According to the invention described in the above, any passenger is determined to be an unregistered person based on the passenger's biometric information acquired when boarding the moving object, and the gate opens if the biometric information acquired by the second biometric information acquisition means when the passenger gets off in front of the gate matches the biometric information of the unregistered person. In other words, the gate opens when the unregistered person gets off the moving object in front of the gate and only registered persons are on the moving object. This makes it possible to ensure that only proper passengers are allowed to enter the facility. Unregistered persons can be allowed to enter by completing the entry procedure at the reception desk.

[0016] Claim 3According to the invention described in the above, if the biometric information of an unregistered person acquired when boarding a moving object leaving a facility matches the biometric information of a passenger who got off in front of the gate when entering the facility, and if all remaining passengers are determined to be registered, the gate opens. In other words, if an unregistered person who got off a moving object when entering the facility boards a moving object when leaving the facility, the gate opens as if the unregistered person were a valid passenger. This makes it possible to reliably allow only valid passengers to enter and leave the facility.

[0017] Claim 4 According to the invention described in the above, whether or not a passenger is a registered person is output using a machine-learned authentication learning model, so that the passenger can be authenticated and determined more appropriately. As a result, it is possible to more reliably allow only authorized passengers to enter the facility. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.

[0020] 1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a passenger management system system 1 according to this embodiment. This passenger management system 1 is a system for managing passengers who board and disembark on a moving object, and in this embodiment, a case will be mainly described in which the moving object is a commuter bus 2 and an employee (passenger) M1 of the nuclear power plant 101 or the like travels on the commuter bus 2 between a nuclear power plant (facility) 101 and a boarding and disembarking location 201.

[0021] In this embodiment, it is assumed that all passengers M board and disembark at boarding and disembarking location 201 such as in front of a station, as shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, passengers in general are indicated by the symbol "M", passengers / registered persons such as employees who have been given permission in advance to enter / admit to the nuclear power plant 101 are indicated by the symbol "M1", and passengers / unregistered persons who have not been given permission in advance to enter the nuclear power plant 101 are indicated by the symbol "M2".

[0022] The passenger management system 1 mainly comprises an entrance side camera (first biometric information acquisition means, third biometric information acquisition means) 21, an exit side camera (second biometric information acquisition means) 22, and a management server (management means) 3. The commuter bus 2 and management server 3 are capable of communicating freely, and images taken by the cameras 21 and 22 are sent to the management server 3 via the commuter bus 2. The commuter bus 2 also comprises a buzzer, lamps and display for notifying the driver and the like, and these can be remotely operated from the management server 3.

[0023] The entrance camera 21 is a camera that photographs and acquires the face (biometric information) of each passenger M when the passenger M boards the commuter bus 2 heading for the nuclear power plant 101, and when the passenger M boards the commuter bus 2 leaving the nuclear power plant 101. That is, in this embodiment, the face of the passenger M is used as the biometric information, and as shown in FIG. 2 , the entrance camera 21 is installed at the entrance 2A of the commuter bus 2, photographs the face of the passenger M getting on the commuter bus 2, and transmits the photographed facial images to the management server 3 in sequence.

[0024] In addition, the commuter bus 2 is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System), so that the position of the commuter bus 2 can be constantly acquired and monitored by the management server 3. This makes it possible to determine whether the image received from the entrance side camera 21 was taken at the boarding and disembarking area 201 when boarding the commuter bus 2 heading towards the nuclear power plant 101, or whether it was taken near the nuclear power plant 101 when boarding the commuter bus 2 leaving the nuclear power plant 101.

[0025] Similarly, the exit side camera 22 is a camera that photographs and acquires the face (biometric information) of each passenger M when the passenger M gets off the commuter bus 2. That is, the exit side camera 22 is installed at the exit 2B of the commuter bus 2, photographs the face of the passenger M getting off the commuter bus 2, and transmits the photographed facial images to the management server 3 in sequence.

[0026] Thus, in this embodiment, cameras 21 and 22 are provided on commuter bus 2, but it may also be as follows. That is, a camera (first biometric information acquisition means) is provided at boarding and disembarking location 201 to capture an image of passenger M's face when he or she boards commuter bus 2 heading for nuclear power plant 101. Also, a camera (second biometric information acquisition means) is provided outside gate 102 of nuclear power plant 101 (near guardhouse 103) to capture an image of passenger M's face when passenger M disembarks from commuter bus 2. Furthermore, a camera (third biometric information acquisition means) is provided inside gate 102 of nuclear power plant 101 to capture an image of passenger M's face when passenger M boards commuter bus 2 heading out from nuclear power plant 101.

[0027] Also, the entrance camera 21 and the exit camera 22 may be configured as one camera. In other words, it may be possible to determine where passenger M gets on or off commuter bus 2 based on an image (such as the orientation of passenger M) captured by one camera, or based on the destination and position of commuter bus 2 as described above.

[0028] The management server 3 is a server that manages the entry of passengers M into the nuclear power plant 101, and is installed in a management center C of the electric power company that operates the nuclear power plant 101. The management server 3 can also freely communicate with the gate 102 and the computers (not shown) of the guardhouse 103, and is capable of remotely controlling the gate 102 and the computers. That is, as will be described later, the gate 102 opens and closes based on information and commands from the management server 3, and the computer of the guardhouse 103 displays predetermined information and commands based on information and commands from the management server 3.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the management server 3 mainly comprises an input unit 31, a display unit 32, a communication unit 33, a memory unit 34, a management task (management means) 35, a learning task 36, and a central processing unit 37 that controls these.

[0030] The input unit 31 is an interface for inputting various information and commands, and specifically inputs registered user information, which will be described later. The display unit 32 is a display that displays various data and information, and specifically displays abnormal entry / exit information, which will be described later. The communication unit 33 is an interface for communicating with the outside via the Internet network, telephone communication network, etc., and specifically sends and receives information and commands to and from the commuter bus 2, gate 102, etc.

[0031] The memory unit 34 mainly includes a registrant database (registrant information storage means) 341, an entrance / exit database 342, an authentication learning model 343, and an authentication performance database 344. Here, databases 341 and 342 will be explained, and authentication learning model 343 and authentication performance database 344 will be described later.

[0032] The registrant database 341 is a database that stores registrant information including biometric information of registrants M1, such as employees who have been given permission to enter the nuclear power plant 101. That is, for each registrant M1's identification information (such as name and employee number), a face image, the expiration date for which entry is permitted, the department to which the registrant belongs, etc. are stored.

[0033] The entrance / exit database 342 is a database that stores entrance / exit information for the nuclear power plant 101. That is, it stores the entrance / exit information in chronological order, which indicates when each registered person M1 and unregistered person M2 entered the nuclear power plant 101 and when each registered person M1 and unregistered person M2 left the nuclear power plant 101. Such entrance / exit information is generated and stored by the management task 35, which will be described later.

[0034] The management task 35 determines (biometric authentication) whether the passenger M is a registered person M1 based on the facial images captured by the cameras 21, 22 and the facial images stored in the registered person database 341, and controls the opening and closing of the gate 102 of the nuclear power plant 101, etc.

[0035] First, as shown in FIG. 3, when a passenger M boards a commuter bus 2 bound for a nuclear power plant 101 at a boarding / disembarking place 201, it is determined whether or not each passenger M is a registered person M1. That is, when the face of each passenger M is photographed by the entrance side camera 21 and the facial image is transmitted to the management server 3, the photographed facial image is compared with the facial image of each registered person M1 in the registered person database 341 and image analysis is performed to determine whether or not the passenger M is a registered person M1. At this time, it is determined whether or not the registered person M1 is proper and valid based on the expiration date stored in the registered person database 341. That is, if the registered person M1 has a facial image that matches the photographed facial image and the expiration date of the registered person M1 has not yet passed at the present time, the passenger M is determined to be a registered person M1. Note that even if the expiration date has passed at the present time, if it has been a predetermined period since the expiration date or if the passenger M satisfies a predetermined requirement (for example, the passenger belongs to a predetermined department), it may be determined that the passenger M is a registered person M1.

[0036] As a result, if the passenger M is a registered person M1, the identification information of the registered person M1 and the boarding date and time (entry date and time) are stored as entrance and exit information in the entrance and exit database 342. On the other hand, if the passenger M is an unregistered person M2, the identification information of the unregistered person M2 is generated and stored in the entrance and exit database 342 as entrance and exit information together with the face image and the boarding date and time.

[0037] Then, if it is determined that all passengers M are registered persons M1, the fact that all passengers are registered persons M1 is notified to the computers at gate 102 and guardhouse 103. In response to this, when commuter bus 2 arrives in front of gate 102 of nuclear power plant 101, gate 102 opens and the computer at guardhouse 103 displays a message that all passengers are registered persons M1.

[0038] Secondly, if it is determined that any passenger M is an unregistered person M2, a buzzer is sounded or a light in the driver's seat is turned on to inform the driver that the unregistered person M2 has boarded the bus. This allows the driver to recognize that the unregistered person M2 needs to be dropped off in front of the gate 102 of the nuclear power plant 101. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, when the commuter bus 2 arrives and stops in front of the gate 102 and the passenger M gets off the commuter bus 2 from the exit 2B, the face of the passenger M is photographed by the exit side camera 22 and the facial image is transmitted to the management server 3. Next, this facial image is compared with the facial image of the unregistered person M2 in the entry / exit information created at the time of boarding, and it is determined whether the unregistered person M2 who boarded the commuter bus 2 at the boarding / alighting place 201 has got off the commuter bus 2. This determination is performed for all passengers M who get off the commuter bus 2.

[0039] As a result, when all unregistered persons M2 have got off commuter bus 2, the computers at gate 102 and guardhouse 103 are notified that all unregistered persons M2 have got off. In response, gate 102 opens, and the computer at guardhouse 103 displays a message that all unregistered persons M2 have got off. As a result, commuter bus 2, with only registered persons M1 on board, enters through gate 102.

[0040] On the other hand, if any of the unregistered persons M2 have not gotten off the commuter bus 2, a buzzer is sounded or a light in the driver's seat is turned on to inform the driver and the unregistered person M2 that the unregistered person M2 has not gotten off, so that the unregistered person M2 gets off. Also, if a registered person M1 gets off the commuter bus 2, another buzzer is sounded or a light is turned on to inform the driver and the registered person M1 that the registered person M1 has gotten off, so that the registered person M1 returns to the commuter bus 2. Then, the unregistered person M2 who has gotten off the commuter bus 2 tells the guard 104 at the guardhouse 103 the purpose of his or her visit, completes the entry procedure, and enters the premises.

[0041] 5, when each passenger M boards the commuter bus 2 leaving the nuclear power plant 101, it is determined whether or not each passenger M is a registered person M1. That is, when the face of each passenger M is photographed by the entrance side camera 21 and the facial image is transmitted to the management server 3, the photographed facial image is compared with the facial image of each registered person M1 in the registered person database 341 and image analysis is performed to determine whether or not the passenger M is a registered person M1.

[0042] As a result, when all passengers M are judged to be registered persons M1, the judgment is notified to the computers of the gate 102 and the guardhouse 103 to the effect that the judgment is good. Also, when any passenger M is judged to be an unregistered person M2 and the facial image of the unregistered person M2 is the same as the facial image of the unregistered person M2 who got off in front of the gate 102 at the time of entry, that is, when the unregistered person M2 who leaves the nuclear power plant 101 is the unregistered person M2 who entered after completing the entry procedure at the guardhouse 103, and when all the remaining passengers M are judged to be registered persons M1, the judgment is notified to the computers of the gate 102 and the guardhouse 103 to the effect that the judgment is good. That is, when each passenger M is a registered person M1 or an unregistered person M2 who was found to be an unregistered person M2 at the time of entry, the passenger is permitted to go out from the nuclear power plant 101. Then, in response to this judgment, the gate 102 opens and the commuter bus 2 goes out from the gate 102.

[0043] Furthermore, if passenger M is a registered person M1, the identification information of registered person M1 and the boarding date and time (exit date and time) are stored as entry and exit information in entrance and exit database 342. Similarly, if passenger M is an unregistered person M2, the identification information of this unregistered person M2 is obtained from the entry and exit information stored at the time of entry, and this identification information and the boarding date and time are stored as entry and exit information in entrance and exit database 342. When passenger M gets off commuter bus 2 upon arrival at boarding and alighting location 201, the face of each passenger M is photographed by exit side camera 22, and at the same time, it is determined whether all passengers M have got off commuter bus 2.

[0044] On the other hand, if the facial image of the boarding unregistered person M2 is not the same as the facial image of the unregistered person M2 who got off in front of the gate 102 at the time of entry, that is, if an unregistered person M2 other than the unregistered person M2 identified at the time of entry is trying to leave the nuclear power plant 101, a buzzer will sound or a light in the driver's seat will be turned on to notify the driver or the like that an unknown unregistered person M2 has boarded. This will allow a predetermined measure (such as identity verification) to be taken against this unregistered person M2.

[0045] Furthermore, the entry / exit information generated and created as described above is tallied for each predetermined period (e.g., one day). That is, it is tallied and confirmed whether passenger M who boarded commuter bus 2 at boarding / disembarking point 201 and entered nuclear power plant 101 has exited nuclear power plant 101 within a predetermined time (e.g., within the same day). As a result, if passenger M who entered nuclear power plant 101 has not exited within the predetermined time, abnormal entry / exit information including the identification information and entry date / time of passenger M is created, and is displayed on display unit 32 and transmitted to a predetermined department / terminal. This kind of tallying is performed for both registered persons M1 and unregistered persons M2.

[0046] When a facial image captured by the cameras 21 and 22 and a facial image stored in the registrant information of the registrant database 341 or the entrance / exit information of the entrance / exit database 342 are input, the management task 41 uses an authentication learning model 343 that has been machine-learned based on past performance data so as to output whether or not the passenger M getting on or off is a registrant M1 or an unregistered person M2, etc., stored in the registrant information or the entrance / exit information. This authentication learning model 343 is created by the learning task 36.

[0047] That is, the learning task 36 uses past performance data recorded and accumulated in the authentication performance database 344 to create an authentication learning model 343 by a known machine learning algorithm such as a neural network. This authentication performance database 344 is a database in which performance data including the result of a judgment made by an expert or experienced person in face authentication or biometric authentication as to whether or not a face image matching the face image captured by the cameras 21 and 22 is included in the registered person information or the entrance and exit information based on a face image captured by the cameras 21 and 22 as input information and a face image in the registered person information or the entrance and exit information is included. The past performance data includes, in addition to face images actually captured and data created based on the results of actual judgments made by experts or experienced people, data created by advance training, etc.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 6, this learning task 36 uses machine learning and deep learning using a neural network to create a neural network based on the performance data recorded in the authentication performance database 344, with the face images captured by the cameras 21 and 22 and the face images in the registrant information and the entrance and exit information as an input layer, the determination results such as matching registrant M1 and unregistered M2 as an output layer, and analysis processing from the input layer to the output layer as an intermediate layer. Then, the learning task 36 uses the performance data of the authentication learning model 343 as learning data to learn various parameters in the intermediate layer. That is, the learning task 36 learns various parameters in the intermediate layer so that an appropriate determination result is output based on the face images captured by the cameras 21 and 22 and the face images in the registrant information and the entrance and exit information.

[0049] As described above, according to the passenger management system 1, it is determined whether or not the passenger M is a registered person M1 based on the facial image of the passenger M taken when the passenger M boards the commuter bus 2 heading for the nuclear power plant 101, and if all passengers M are determined to be registered persons M1, the gate 102 of the nuclear power plant 101 is opened. In this way, since the permission of entry is automatically determined based on the facial image of the passenger M, not only can the labor and time of security guards and the like be reduced, but also it is possible to properly and quickly determine the permission of entry. Then, since the gate 102 is opened when all passengers M are determined to be registered persons M1, it is possible to reliably allow only proper passengers M to enter the nuclear power plant 101. In other words, it is possible to ensure the security of the nuclear power plant 101.

[0050] Moreover, when commuter bus 2 arrives in front of gate 102 of nuclear power plant 101, gate 102 opens automatically, allowing smooth entry. Also, since passenger M is identified by facial image, no gate pass is required, and even if registered person M1 forgets his / her gate pass, he / she can be identified properly.

[0051] In addition, whether or not the passenger M is a registrant M1 is determined based on the expiration date stored in the registrant database 341, so it is possible to more appropriately determine whether or not to permit entry. If the expiration date has passed, the passenger M is determined to not be a proper / valid registrant M1, so it is possible to more reliably allow only proper passengers M to enter the nuclear power plant 101.

[0052] Furthermore, based on the facial image of passenger M acquired when boarding commuter bus 2, any passenger M is determined to be unregistered person M2, and gate 102 opens if the facial image acquired by exit side camera 22 when passenger M gets off in front of gate 102 matches the facial image of unregistered person M2. That is, when unregistered person M2 gets off commuter bus 2 in front of gate 102 and only registered person M1 is left on commuter bus 2, gate 102 opens. This makes it possible to ensure that only proper passengers M are allowed to enter nuclear power plant 101. Unregistered person M2 can enter by completing the entry procedure at guardhouse 103.

[0053] Furthermore, gate 102 opens when a facial image of unregistered person M2 taken when boarding commuter bus 2 leaving nuclear power plant 101 matches a facial image of passenger M who got off in front of gate 102 when entering nuclear power plant 101, and when all remaining passengers M are determined to be registered persons M1. That is, when unregistered person M2 who got off commuter bus 2 when entering nuclear power plant 101 and completed entrance procedures at guardhouse 103 gets on commuter bus 2 when leaving nuclear power plant 101, gate 102 opens as if the unregistered person M is a valid passenger M. This makes it possible to reliably allow only valid passengers M to enter and exit nuclear power plant 101.

[0054] Meanwhile, whether or not the passenger M is a registered person M1 is output using the machine-learned authentication learning model 343, so it is possible to more appropriately authenticate and determine the passenger M. As a result, it is possible to more reliably allow only authorized passengers M to enter and exit the nuclear power plant 101.

[0055] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and even if the design is changed within the scope of the gist of the present invention, it is included in the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the face of the occupant M is used as the biometric information, but the fingerprint or retina of the occupant M may be used as the biometric information.

[0056] Also, although an abnormal condition is notified by sounding a buzzer on commuter bus 2, an announcement corresponding to the abnormal condition may be made. Furthermore, although management server 3 directly controls the opening and closing of gate 102, when management server 3 transmits information and commands to a computer in guardhouse 103, said computer or guard 104 may open and close gate 102. Also, although a case has been described in which the mobile body is commuter bus 2 and the facility is nuclear power plant 101, the present invention can of course be applied to other mobile bodies and facilities.
