Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a transportation route presentation device, a transportation route presentation method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for formulating a transportation plan taking into consideration the physical condition of the person being picked up or dropped off. Specifically, this technology acquires vital sign information from one or more persons to be picked up or dropped off, and sets a transportation route based on the acquired vital sign information. For example, in order to prevent the occurrence of poor physical condition, this technology prioritizes roads that are less susceptible to sudden acceleration in the left and right directions and have a straighter shape over roads with sharp curves or winding roads when setting a transportation route.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2021-157656 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in Patent Document 1, the transport route (pick-up route) is presented based only on two criteria, namely, whether the patient (person being transported or picked-up) is in good health or not, and therefore there is a problem in that it is not possible to present a transport route that corresponds to the detailed symptoms of the patient. For example, depending on the symptoms of the patient, not only a transport route that prioritizes reducing the burden on the patient during transport, but also a transport route that prioritizes shortening the time required for transport may be required.

[Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a computer according to the first and second embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted as necessary for clarity of explanation.

[0012] (First embodiment) First, the configuration of a transportation route presentation device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The transport route presentation device 10 includes a patient information acquisition unit 11, a route search unit 12, a route evaluation unit 13, a route priority determination unit 14, and a route presentation unit 15.

[0013] The patient information acquisition unit 11 acquires information on the patient's condition. The route search unit 12 searches for multiple transport routes for transporting the patient to the destination. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden on the patient and the required time for each of the multiple transport routes. The route priority determination unit 14 determines the priority for each of the multiple transport routes based on the patient's condition information, the burden, and the required time. The route presentation unit 15 presents at least one of the multiple transport routes according to the priority.

[0014] The transport route presentation device 10 according to the first embodiment can present a transport route according to the detailed symptoms of the patient. For example, the transport route presentation device 10 can not only give priority to a transport route that places less stress on the patient during transport depending on the patient's symptoms, but also give priority to a transport route that requires a short transport time.

[0015] Second Embodiment Next, the configuration of a transportation route presentation system 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. The transportation route presentation system 200 includes a transportation route presentation device 10 and a terminal 20.

[0016] The transport route presentation device 10 is a device that presents, on a terminal 20, a transport route for transporting a sick patient to a destination. The destination is, for example, a medical facility such as a hospital. The transport route provided is assumed to be a route when a vehicle is used for transport, but the patient may also be transported on foot. The transportation route presentation device 10 is a server (for example, a server constructed on a cloud) and communicates with the terminal 20 via a network.

[0017] The terminal 20 is a terminal used, for example, by an ambulance crew member who supports the patient. The terminal 20 is a terminal such as a tablet, a smartphone, or a laptop computer. The terminal 20 may also be a dedicated terminal. The terminal 20 may also be used by people other than the ambulance crew member, such as the patient himself or herself, or by a person at a facility that manages a transport vehicle.

[0018] The transport route presentation device 10 includes a patient information acquisition unit 11, a route search unit 12, a route evaluation unit 13, a route priority determination unit 14, a route presentation unit 15, and a storage unit 16.

[0019] The patient information acquiring unit 11 acquires information on the condition of the patient from the terminal 20. The information on the condition of the patient indicates the condition of the patient, such as injury (minor) or injury (serious), the severity of the condition, and the like.

[0020] The route search unit 12 searches for a plurality of transport routes for transporting the patient to the destination. Specifically, the route search unit 12 searches for a plurality of transport routes for transporting the patient to the destination based on the current location information of the patient and map information. For example, the current location information of the patient is information on the current location of the patient inputted to the terminal 20 by an ambulance crew member or the like, or GPS (Global Positioning System) information of the terminal 20, and is acquired from the terminal 20. The map information is map information of an area including the source and destination of transport, and is stored in advance in the storage unit 16.

[0021] The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden on the patient and the required time for each of the multiple transport routes. The burden on the patient is an evaluation of how much of a burden the patient experiences during transport. The required time is the time required from the transport origin, i.e., the patient's current location, to the transport destination. The required time is evaluated assuming that a vehicle is used to transport the patient, but may also be evaluated assuming that the patient is transported on foot.

[0022] Specifically, the route evaluation unit 13 calculates the burden level and the required time based on the distance from the origin to the destination. In addition, the route evaluation unit 13 acquires road topography information from an external device at a predetermined interval and stores it in the storage unit 16. The road topography information is information indicating sharp curves, steps, gradients, etc. on the road. For example, the road topography information is information based on vehicle acceleration information and vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle. Here, a position on the road where the acceleration is greater than a predetermined threshold is determined to be a position where there is a sharp curve, step, or gradient. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route based on the road topography information acquired at a predetermined interval. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the more sharp curves, steps, and gradients the transportation route has, the greater the burden and the longer the required time.

[0023] In addition, the route evaluation unit 13 acquires weather information from an external device at a predetermined interval and stores it in the storage unit 16. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route based on the weather information acquired at the predetermined interval. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the burden will be higher and the required time will be longer as the weather becomes worse, such as heavy rain or snow.

[0024] In addition, the route evaluation unit 13 acquires road congestion information from an external device and stores it in the storage unit 16. The road congestion information is information based on at least one of imaging information acquired from an imaging device installed on the road and information on traffic lights installed on the road. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route based on the road congestion information acquired at a predetermined interval. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the more congested the road is, the greater the burden and the longer the required time.

[0025] The route priority determination unit 14 determines the priority of each of a plurality of transport routes based on the patient's condition information, the burden level, and the required time. Specifically, the route priority determination unit 14 evaluates the urgency and rest level of the condition based on the patient's condition information. The urgency indicates how urgent the patient's condition is. The higher the urgency, the more urgent the patient's condition is evaluated to be. The rest level indicates how much rest is required for the patient's condition. The higher the rest level, the more the patient's condition is evaluated to be. The route priority determination unit 14 then determines the priority of each of the multiple transport routes based on the comparison result between the urgency and the rest level, the burden level, and the required time. More specifically, when the urgency is higher than the rest level, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of a transport route that requires a shorter required time than other transport routes. On the other hand, when the urgency is lower than the rest level, that is, when the rest level is higher than the urgency, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of a transport route that requires a lower burden than other transport routes.

[0026] In addition, the route priority determination unit 14 sets permissible conditions for the transport route for each level of quietness, and reduces the priority of the transport route that does not satisfy the permissible conditions. For example, the route priority determination unit 14 sets an upper limit for the acceleration of the transport vehicle at sharp curves, steps, and gradients (hereinafter, gradients, etc.) included in the transport route for each level of quietness. Then, the route priority determination unit 14 reduces the priority of the transport route that includes gradients, etc. that exceed the upper limit for the acceleration of the transport vehicle for each level of quietness.

[0027] The route priority determination unit 14 performs machine learning using the patient's past medical condition information and the history of the determination of the priority of the transport route. The route priority determination unit 14 may determine the priority of each of the multiple transport routes based on the patient's medical condition information and the model learned by machine learning.

[0028] In addition, the route priority determination unit 14 performs machine learning using the patient's past medical condition information and the history of the transport route actually selected by the ambulance staff (the transport history of the patient). The route priority determination unit 14 may determine the priority of each of the multiple transport routes based on the patient's medical condition information and the model learned by machine learning.

[0029] The route presenting unit 15 presents at least one of the multiple transport routes according to the priority. For example, the route presenting unit 15 associates the searched transport route with the priority and presents it to the terminal 20. At this time, the route presenting unit 15 may present the searched transport routes to the terminal 20 in descending order of priority. The storage unit 16 stores map information, road topography information, weather information, road congestion information, and the like acquired at predetermined intervals from an external device.

[0030] Next, an example of the operation of the transportation route presentation device 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0031] First, the ambulance staff visits the patient in an emergency. Then, the ambulance staff inputs the patient's medical condition information into the terminal 20. Then, the terminal 20 transmits the patient's medical condition information to the transport route presentation device 10.

[0032] The patient information acquiring unit 11 of the transport route presentation device 10 acquires the medical condition information of the patient from the terminal 20 (step S101). Note that the patient information acquiring unit 11 may acquire the medical condition information of the patient that is automatically determined based on a camera image.

[0033] Next, the route search unit 12 searches for a plurality of transport routes for transporting the patient to the destination (step S102). Specifically, the route search unit 12 searches for a plurality of transport routes for transporting the patient to the destination based on the current location information of the patient and map information. For example, the current location information of the patient is acquired from the terminal 20. The current location information is the location information of the patient directly inputted by an ambulance crew member or the GPS information of the terminal 20. The map information is stored in advance in the storage unit 16.

[0034] Next, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden on the patient and the required time for each of the retrieved transport routes (step S103). Note that the arrival time at the transport destination may be evaluated instead of the required time.

[0035] Specifically, the route evaluation unit 13 calculates the burden level and the required time based on the distance from the origin to the destination. The route evaluation unit 13 also acquires road topography information from the storage unit 16. The road topography information is information indicating sharp curves, steps, gradients, etc. on the road. For example, the road topography information is information based on vehicle acceleration information and vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route based on the latest road topography information. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the more sharp curves, steps, and gradients the transportation route has, the greater the burden and the longer the required time.

[0036] In addition, the route evaluation unit 13 acquires weather information from the storage unit 16. Based on the latest weather information, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the worse the weather, such as heavy rain or snow, the greater the burden and the longer the required time.

[0037] In addition, the route evaluation unit 13 acquires road congestion information from the storage unit 16. The road congestion information is information based on at least one of imaging information acquired from an imaging device installed on the road and information on traffic lights installed on the road. The route evaluation unit 13 evaluates the burden and required time for each transportation route based on the latest road congestion information. For example, the route evaluation unit 13 evaluates that the more congested the road is, the greater the burden and the longer the required time.

[0038] Next, the route priority determination unit 14 determines the priority of each of the transport routes found based on the patient's condition information, the burden level, and the required time (step S104). Specifically, the route priority determination unit 14 evaluates the urgency and rest level of the patient's condition based on the patient's condition information.

[0039] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the route priority determination unit 14 evaluates the urgency and the rest level of each patient according to their condition. The route priority determination unit 14 evaluates the urgency in five stages, A to E, and the rest level in five stages, A to E. Here, the urgency increases in the order from E to A. The rest level increases in the order from E to A. If the condition is a fracture, the urgency is C and the rest level is C. If the condition is a minor injury, the urgency is C and the rest level is E. If the condition is a moderate injury, the urgency is B and the rest level is D. If the condition is a major injury, the urgency is A and the rest level is C. If the condition is a penetration accident, the urgency is E and the rest level is A. If the condition is a finger amputation, the urgency is A and the rest level is E. If the condition is heart failure, the urgency is A and the rest level is B. If the condition is a stroke, the urgency level is A and the bed rest level is A.

[0040] Then, the route priority determination unit 14 compares the urgency and the rest level, and determines the priority for each of the plurality of transport routes based on the comparison result between the urgency and the rest level, the burden level, and the required time. In detail, the route priority determination unit 14 judges whether the urgency or the rest level is higher. Furthermore, when either the urgency or the rest level is higher, the route priority determination unit 14 judges how much difference there is between the urgency and the rest level. Then, when the urgency is higher than the rest level, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of the transport route with a shorter required time than other transport routes. Here, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of the transport route with a shorter required time as the difference between the urgency and the rest level increases. On the other hand, when the urgency is lower than the rest level, that is, when the rest level is higher than the urgency, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of the transport route with a lower burden than other transport routes. Here, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of the transport route with a lower burden as the difference between the urgency and the rest level increases. Furthermore, when the urgency and rest levels are the same, the route priority determination unit 14 increases the priority of a transport route that has a good balance between a low burden level and a short required time.

[0041] Furthermore, the route priority determination unit 14 sets permissible conditions for the transport route for each level of quietness, and reduces the priority of the transport route that does not satisfy the permissible conditions. For example, the route priority determination unit 14 sets an upper limit for the acceleration of the transport vehicle on gradients, etc. included in the transport route for each level of quietness. Then, the route priority determination unit 14 reduces the priority of the transport route that includes gradients, etc. that exceed the upper limit for the acceleration of the transport vehicle for each level of quietness.

[0042] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the route priority determination unit 14 determines the priority of each of a plurality of transport routes based on the result of comparison between the urgency level and the rest level, the burden level, and the required time.

[0043] In the example of Fig. 4, the route priority determination unit 14 gives "slight priority" to either the urgency or the rest level when the difference between the urgency and the rest level is 1 level, "relative priority" when the difference is 2 levels, "priority" when the difference is 3 levels, and "highest priority" when the difference is 4 levels. In addition, the route priority determination unit 14 sets allowable conditions such as gradients on the transportation route when the rest level is A, B, C, D, or E. That is, the route priority determination unit 14 sets upper limits L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 of the acceleration of the transportation vehicle on gradients when the rest level is A, B, C, D, or E. The upper limit of the acceleration of the transportation vehicle increases as the upper limit L1 to the upper limit L5 increases.

[0044] When the medical condition is a fracture (urgency level is C, rest level is C), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level and rest level are the same, and increases the priority of a transport route that has a good balance between low burden and short required time. In addition, when the medical condition is a fracture, the route priority determination unit 14 allows a transport route that includes a certain degree of gradient, etc., since the rest level is C. In other words, the route priority determination unit 14 decreases the priority of a transport route that includes a gradient, etc., that causes the acceleration of the transport vehicle to exceed the upper limit L3.

[0045] Furthermore, when the medical condition is trauma (mild) (urgency level is C, rest level is E), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level is two levels higher than the rest level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to relatively prioritize the transport route with a shorter required time. Furthermore, when the medical condition is trauma (medium) (urgency level is B, rest level is D), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level is two levels higher than the rest level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to relatively prioritize the transport route with a shorter required time. Furthermore, when the medical condition is trauma (serious) (urgency level is A, rest level is C), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level is two levels higher than the rest level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to relatively prioritize the transport route with a shorter required time. Here, the route priority determination unit 14 avoids transport routes that include a larger gradient, etc., because the rest level increases as the injury progresses from trauma (mild) to trauma (serious).

[0046] Furthermore, when the medical condition is a through-passing accident (urgency level E, rest level A), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the rest level is four levels higher than the urgency level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to give top priority to a transport route with a low burden. Here, since the rest level is A, the route priority determination unit 14 avoids all transport routes that include steep gradients, etc. In other words, the route priority determination unit 14 lowers the priority of transport routes that include gradients, etc. that cause the acceleration of the transport vehicle to exceed the upper limit L1.

[0047] Furthermore, when the medical condition is finger amputation (urgency level is A, rest level is E), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level is four levels higher than the rest level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to give top priority to the transport route with the shortest required time. Furthermore, when the medical condition is finger amputation, the route priority determination unit 14 allows a transport route including a steep gradient, etc., because the rest level is E. In other words, the route priority determination unit 14 lowers the priority of a transport route including a gradient, etc., at which the acceleration of the transport vehicle exceeds the upper limit L5.

[0048] Furthermore, when the medical condition is heart failure (urgency level is A, rest level is B), the route priority determination unit 14 determines that the urgency level is one level higher than the rest level, and determines the priority of the transport route so as to give a slight priority to a transport route with a shorter required time. Here, since the rest level is B, the route priority determination unit 14 avoids transport routes that include a relatively large gradient, etc. In other words, the route priority determination unit 14 lowers the priority of transport routes that include a gradient, etc. that causes the acceleration of the transport vehicle to exceed the upper limit L2.

[0049] When the condition is stroke (urgency level is A, rest level is A), the route priority determination unit 14 judges that the urgency level and rest level are the same, and increases the priority of the transport route that has a good balance between low burden and short required time. Here, the route priority determination unit 14 avoids all transport routes that include steep gradients, etc., because the rest level is A. In other words, the route priority determination unit 14 reduces the priority of transport routes that include gradients, etc., that cause the acceleration of the transport vehicle to exceed the upper limit L1.

[0050] In the above example, the urgency and rest levels are evaluated as A, B, C, D, and E, but the urgency and rest levels may be evaluated numerically, for example, from 0 to 100. In this case, the urgency and rest levels may be divided into stages, such as 0 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60, 61 to 80, and 81 to 100.

[0051] The route priority determination unit 14 performs machine learning using the patient's past medical condition information and the history of the determination of the priority of the transport route. The route priority determination unit 14 may determine the priority of each of the multiple transport routes based on the patient's medical condition information and the model learned by machine learning. Furthermore, the route priority determination unit 14 may determine the priority of the transport route based on data of the patient's own will stored in the storage unit 16 when the patient is unconscious.

[0052] The route priority determination unit 14 may also set an allowable range of the burden for each level of rest, and lower the priority of a transport route in which the burden is outside the allowable range. The route priority determination unit 14 may also set an allowable range of the burden for each condition, and lower the priority of a transport route in which the burden is outside the allowable range.

[0053] Returning to the description of FIG. 3, the route presenting unit 15 presents the searched transport route to the terminal 20 according to the priority (step S105). Specifically, the route presenting unit 15 links the searched transport route to the priority and presents it to the terminal 20. At this time, the route presenting unit 15 may present the searched transport route to the terminal 20 in descending order of priority. Also, the route presenting unit 15 may select at least one type of transport route with a high priority from among the searched transport routes, and present the selected transport route to the terminal 20. At this time, the route presenting unit 15 may present the selected transport route to the terminal 20 in descending order of priority. Here, the route presenting unit 15 may present the selected transport route not only to the terminal 20 used by the ambulance crew, but also to other terminals such as a terminal installed in a hospital.

[0054] As described above, the transport route presentation device 10 of the transport route presentation system 200 according to the second embodiment can present a transport route according to the detailed symptoms of the patient (in the above example, a fracture, an injury, a penetration accident, etc.). For example, the transport route presentation device 10 can not only prioritize a transport route that places less strain on the patient during transport depending on the patient's symptoms, but also prioritize a transport route that requires less transport time.

[0055] In addition, the transport route presentation device 10 evaluates the urgency and rest level of the patient's condition, and determines the priority of each of the multiple transport routes based on the comparison result between the urgency and rest level, the burden level, and the required time. Therefore, the transport route presentation device 10 can present a transport route that is more appropriate for the patient's condition.

[0056] In addition, the transport route presentation device 10 acquires road topography information, weather information, road congestion information, etc. at predetermined intervals, and evaluates the burden and required time based on the information. Therefore, the transport route presentation device 10 can improve the accuracy of the transport route evaluation by using various information related to the transport route in real time, and present a transport route that is more suited to the patient's condition.

[0057] The transport route presentation device 10 determines the priority of transport routes using machine learning. Therefore, the transport route presentation device 10 can improve the accuracy of determining the priority of transport routes and present transport routes that are more suited to the condition of the patient.

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0059] <Example of hardware configuration> Each functional component of the transportation route presentation device 10 according to the first and second embodiments may be realized by hardware (e.g., a hardwired electronic circuit, etc.) that realizes each functional component, or may be realized by a combination of hardware and software (e.g., a combination of an electronic circuit and a program that controls it, etc.). Below, a further description will be given of the case where each functional component of the above device is realized by a combination of hardware and software.

[0060] 5 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a computer 500. The transportation route presentation device 10 can be realized by the computer 500. The computer 500 may be a portable computer such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or a stationary computer such as a PC. The computer 500 may be a dedicated computer or a general-purpose computer.

[0061] For example, a desired function can be provided to the computer 500 by installing a predetermined application in the computer 500. For example, each function of the transportation route presentation device 10 is realized in the computer 500 by installing an application that realizes each function of the transportation route presentation device 10 in the computer 500.

[0062] The computer 500 has a bus 501, a processor 502, a memory 503, a storage device 504, an input / output interface (I / F) 505, and a network interface (I / F) 506. The bus 501 is a data transmission path for the processor 502, the memory 503, the storage device 504, the input / output interface 505, and the network interface 506 to transmit and receive data to and from each other. However, the method of connecting the processor 502 and the like to each other is not limited to bus connection.

[0063] The processor 502 is one of various processors such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The memory 503 is a main storage device realized using a random access memory (RAM) or the like. The storage device 504 is an auxiliary storage device realized using a hard disk, a solid state drive (SSD), a memory card, or a read only memory (ROM) or the like.

[0064] The input / output interface 505 is an interface for connecting the computer 500 to an input / output device. For example, the input / output interface 505 is connected to an input device such as a keyboard and an output device such as a display device.

[0065] The network interface 506 is an interface for connecting the computer 500 to a network. This network may be a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network).

[0066] The storage device 504 stores a program for realizing a desired function. For example, the storage device 504 of the computer 500 for realizing the transportation route presentation device 10 stores a program for realizing the functions of the transportation route presentation device 10 (the above-mentioned application program for realizing each function of the transportation route presentation device 10). The processor 502 reads the program into the memory 503 and executes it to realize each function.
