DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Embodiment 1 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of a train accident avoidance system according to this embodiment. The train accident avoidance system 1 according to this embodiment includes a plurality of cameras 2, a wireless communication network 3, an AI server 4, and a control server 5.

[0011] The camera 2 is a specific example of an imaging means. The camera 2 is installed on the tracks on which the train 6 runs, on the platform where people get on and off the train, etc. The camera 2 images the tracks and the platform. The camera 2 is configured as a camera 2 that supports ultra-high image quality of, for example, 4K (3840 x 2160) or 8K (7680 x 4320) pixels. The camera 2 may also be configured as a compound eye surveillance camera.

[0012] The camera 2 transmits the captured images of the tracks and platform to the AI ​​server 4 via the wireless communication network 3.

[0013] The wireless communication network 3 is a specific example of a communication means. The wireless communication network 3 connects, for example, multiple cameras 2, an AI server 4, a control server 5, and a train 6 via a high-speed wireless communication method such as 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication System) wireless communication or 6G wireless communication. This allows high-quality, large-volume image data to be transmitted from the cameras 2 to the AI ​​server 4 at high speed.

[0014] The wireless communication network 3 includes wireless base stations, networks, etc. The AI ​​server 4 and control server 5 may be integrated into a single server.

[0015] The AI ​​server 4 and control server 5 have the hardware configuration of a typical computer, including, for example, processors 4a, 5a such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), internal memory 4b, 5b such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or ROM (Read Only Memory), storage devices 4c, 5c such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SDD (Solid State Drive), input / output I / Fs 4d, 5d for connecting peripheral devices such as displays, and communication I / Fs 4e, 5e for communicating with devices outside the device.

[0016] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of an AI server and control server according to this embodiment. The AI ​​server 4 has a sign detection unit 41 and an object detection unit 42. The sign detection unit 41 and the object detection unit 42 may be configured as separate AI servers. Alternatively, the sign detection unit 41 and the object detection unit 42 may be configured as an integrated unit.

[0017] The sign detection unit 41 is a specific example of sign detection means. The sign detection unit 41 detects signs of a train accident on the platform. A sign of a train accident on the platform is, for example, a sign that there is a possibility that a person or object on the platform will fall onto the tracks and cause a collision accident with a train 6 traveling on the tracks.

[0018] The sign detection unit 41 includes a learning device. The learning device may perform deep learning. The learning device is configured with a neural network such as an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network). This RNN may have an LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) in an intermediate layer. Instead of a neural network, the learning device may be configured with another learning device such as an SVM (Support Vector Machine).

[0019] The learning device of the sign detection unit 41 learns images that indicate signs of a train accident on a platform that could cause the train accident. The images include still images and videos. Examples of images that indicate signs of a train accident on a platform that could cause the train accident include images of facial expressions and movements of a person on the platform who is thought to be about to fall onto the tracks, or images of the movement of an object on the platform.

[0020] The sign detection unit 41 detects signs of a train accident on the platform based on the learning results of the learning device and images of the platform transmitted from the camera 2 via the wireless communication network 3. The sign detection unit 41 inputs the images of the platform transmitted from the camera 2 via the wireless communication network 3 to the trained learning device. The sign detection unit 41 detects signs of a train accident on the platform based on the output values ​​output from the learning device.

[0021] When the sign detection unit 41 detects a sign of a train accident on the platform, it transmits to the control server 5 a sign detection signal indicating the detection result.

[0022] The object detection unit 42 is a specific example of an object detection means. The object detection unit 42 detects objects that may cause train accidents on the tracks. Objects that may cause train accidents on the tracks include, for example, people or objects that have fallen from a platform or a train. The object detection unit 42 includes a learning device. The learning device of the object detection unit 42 learns images that indicate objects that may cause train accidents on the tracks. The images include still images and videos.

[0023] The object detection unit 42 detects an object on the tracks that could cause a train accident, based on the learning results from the learning device and the image of the tracks transmitted from the camera 2 via the wireless communication network 3. The object detection unit 42 inputs the image of the tracks transmitted from the camera 2 via the wireless communication network 3 to the trained learning device. The object detection unit 42 detects an object on the tracks that could cause a train accident, based on the output value output from the learning device.

[0024] When the object detection unit 42 detects an object on the tracks that could cause a train accident, it transmits to the control server 5 an object detection signal indicating the detection result.

[0025] The control server 5 is a specific example of an instruction means. The control server 5 has a train instruction unit 51. The train instruction unit 51 issues running instructions to a running control unit 61 of a train 6 running on a track. The train instruction unit 51 transmits a deceleration instruction signal for decelerating the train 6 and a stop instruction signal for stopping the train 6 to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 via the wireless communication network 3.

[0026] When the running control unit 61 of the train 6 receives a deceleration instruction signal from the train instruction unit 51, it controls the braking unit 62 and other units to decelerate the train 6. Similarly, when the running control unit 61 of the train 6 receives a stop instruction signal from the train instruction unit 51, it controls the braking unit 62 and other units to stop the train 6.

[0027] The train control unit 51 issues deceleration and stop instructions to trains 6 that are located within a predetermined distance from the platform and approaching the platform. The running control unit 61 of each train 6 detects the current position of the train 6, for example, based on signals from GPS satellites, and transmits the current position to the train control unit 51. Based on the current position of each train transmitted from the running control unit 61 of each train 6, the train control unit 51 can determine whether the train is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform.

[0028] Meanwhile, there is a demand for more reliable prevention of train accidents by detecting signs of train accidents on platforms and taking measures at an early stage.

[0029] In contrast, in the train accident avoidance system 1 of this embodiment, when the sign detection unit 41 detects signs of a train accident on the platform, it instructs a train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform to slow down.

[0030] For example, when the train control unit 51 receives a sign detection signal from the sign detection unit 41, it transmits a deceleration command signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform, based on the current position transmitted from the running control unit 61 of each train 6. The running control unit 61 of the train 6 decelerates the train 6 in response to the deceleration command signal transmitted from the train control unit 51.

[0031] This allows for more reliable avoidance of train accidents by quickly slowing down the train 6 approaching the platform and taking measures to prevent a train accident when a sign of a train accident on the platform is detected.

[0032] Furthermore, when an object on the tracks is detected by the object detection unit 42, the train accident avoidance system according to this embodiment issues a stop instruction to a train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform.

[0033] For example, when the train control unit 51 receives an object detection signal from the object detection unit 42, it transmits a stop instruction signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform, based on the current position transmitted from the running control unit 61 of each train 6. The running control unit 61 of the train 6 stops the train 6 in response to the stop instruction signal transmitted from the train control unit 51.

[0034] This allows the train 6 to be stopped immediately when an object on the tracks is detected, preventing a collision between the train 6 and the object on the tracks and more reliably avoiding train accidents.

[0035] Here, for example, as described above, there is a problem that once train 6 has made an emergency stop, it takes a considerable amount of time for it to resume operation even if there are no problems, because station staff must check the site.

[0036] In contrast to this, in this embodiment, as described above, when the train instruction unit 51 of the control server 5 issues a deceleration instruction to the running control unit 61 of the train 6, it may transmit an image of the platform that is the basis for the deceleration instruction to the management unit 7 that manages the train 6 (FIG. 3). Also, when the train instruction unit 51 of the control server 5 issues a stop instruction to the running control unit 61 of the train 6, it may transmit an image of the tracks that is the basis for the stop instruction to the management unit 7 that manages the train 6. The management unit 7 that manages the trains is implemented, for example, in a terminal of a station employee that manages the train 6, or in a terminal in a control room that manages the train 6.

[0037] As a result, after issuing an instruction to slow down or stop the train 6, station staff or the like can check the image that caused the instruction to slow down or stop on a terminal equipped with the management unit 7, making it possible to quickly identify the problem situation and shorten the time it takes to resume operations if there are no problems.

[0038] For example, as shown in Figure 4, the train control unit 51 of the control server 5 transmits a stop instruction signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 via the wireless communication network 3, and also transmits an image of the tracks that is the source of the stop instruction to the station staff terminal (step S401).

[0039] The station attendant checks the image of the track on the terminal (step S402), and if he determines that there is no problem, he performs an operation on the terminal to cancel the stop instruction (step S403). In response to the cancellation operation, the terminal transmits a cancellation signal to the train control unit 51 via the wireless communication network 3 to cancel the stop of the train 6.

[0040] In response to the release signal transmitted from the terminal, the train control unit 51 transmits a running start signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 via the wireless communication network 3 to cause the train to start running (step S404). The running control unit 61 of the train 6 starts running in response to the running start signal from the train control unit 51 (step S405). In this way, station staff or the like can check the image that caused the stop instruction on the terminal, thereby quickly identifying the problem situation, and can immediately resume operation if there is no problem.

[0041] Next, the train accident avoidance method according to this embodiment will be described in detail. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the train accident avoidance method according to this embodiment.

[0042] The camera 2 captures images of the tracks and platform, and transmits the captured images of the tracks and platform to the sign detection unit 41 and object detection unit 42 of the AI ​​server 4 via the wireless communication network 3 (step S501).

[0043] The sign detection unit 41 detects signs of a train accident on the platform based on the learning results of the learning device and the image of the platform transmitted from the camera 2, and transmits a sign detection signal to the train instruction unit 51 (step S502).

[0044] In response to the precursor detection signal transmitted from the precursor detection unit 41, the train control unit 51 transmits a deceleration instruction signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform (step S503).

[0045] The running control unit 61 of the train 6 decelerates the train 6 in response to the deceleration instruction signal from the train instruction unit 51 (step S504).

[0046] The object detection unit 42 detects an object that may cause a train accident on the tracks based on the learning results of the learning device and the image of the tracks transmitted from the camera 2, and transmits an object detection signal to the train control unit 51 (step S505).

[0047] In response to the object detection signal transmitted from the object detection unit 42, the train control unit 51 transmits a stop instruction signal to the running control unit 61 of the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform (step S506).

[0048] The running control unit 61 of the train 6 stops the train 6 in response to the stop instruction signal from the train instruction unit 51 (step S507).

[0049] As described above, in the train accident avoidance system according to this embodiment, when the sign detection unit 41 detects a sign of a train accident on the platform, the train instruction unit 51 instructs the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform to decelerate. As a result, when a sign of a train accident on the platform is detected, the train 6 approaching the platform can be decelerated early and countermeasures taken, thereby more reliably avoiding a train accident.

[0050] Furthermore, when an object on the tracks is detected by the object detection unit 42, the train control unit 51 issues a stop command to the train 6 that is located within a predetermined distance from the platform and is approaching the platform. As a result, when an object on the tracks is detected, the train 6 approaching the platform is immediately stopped, thereby preventing a collision between the train 6 and the object on the tracks and more reliably avoiding a train accident.

[0051] Embodiment 2 Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of a train accident avoidance system according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the camera 20 may be provided movably. For example, a rail for moving the camera is laid on the roof of the platform or the like. The camera 20 moves along the rail by driving an actuator 21 such as a motor.

[0052] For example, construction equipment or vending machines may be temporarily placed or moved on the platform, causing obstacles and creating blind spots in the camera's field of view.

[0053] In response to this, the control server 50 may control the movement of the camera 20 so as to reduce the blind spot in the field of view of the camera 20. This makes it possible to reduce the blind spot in the field of view of the camera 20, and more reliably avoid train accidents.

[0054] The control server 50 according to this embodiment further includes a camera instruction unit 52 that instructs the movement of the camera 20. The camera instruction unit 52 controls the movement of the camera 20 by transmitting a control signal to the camera 20.

[0055] For example, the AI ​​server 4 may determine whether a blind spot has occurred in the field of view of the camera 20 based on images of the platform and tracks captured by the camera 20. More specifically, the AI ​​server 4 may determine that a blind spot has occurred in the field of view of the camera 20 when it detects a construction installation or a vending machine that is not normally installed on the platform. When the AI ​​server 4 determines that a blind spot has occurred in the field of view of the camera 20, it transmits a blind spot occurrence signal indicating the determination result to the camera instruction unit 52 of the control server 50.

[0056] In response to the blind spot occurrence signal transmitted from the AI ​​server 4, the camera instruction unit 52 transmits a control signal to the camera 20 in which the blind spot occurs, and moves the camera 20. For example, the camera instruction unit 52 may move the camera 20 by a predetermined amount in a predetermined direction.

[0057] Embodiment 3 FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of the train accident avoidance system according to this embodiment.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control server 60 controls the lighting of the platform illuminators 8 installed near objects that indicate signs of a train accident detected by the sign detection unit 41 and objects that could cause a train accident on the tracks detected by the object detection unit 42. By controlling the lighting of the illuminators 8, station staff and others can easily identify dangerous spots on the platform and tracks that could cause a train accident. In addition, by controlling the lighting of the illuminators 8, it is possible to alert people who are in danger and could cause a train accident.

[0059] The control server 60 according to this embodiment further includes a lighting instruction unit 53 that issues instructions to the illuminator 8. The lighting instruction unit 53 controls the lighting of the illuminator 8 by transmitting a control signal to the illuminator 8. The lighting instruction unit 53 changes the lighting of the illuminator 8, for example, by turning it on, off, or blinking, changing the color of the lighting, or increasing or decreasing the illuminance.

[0060] The lighting instruction unit 53 may change the lighting of the lighting device 8 that is closest to an object that indicates a sign of a train accident detected by the sign detection unit 41 and an object that may cause a train accident on the tracks detected by the object detection unit 42.

These embodiments and their modifications are included within the scope and spirit of the invention, and are also included in the scope of the invention and its equivalents as defined in the claims.

[0062] The present invention can also be realized by causing a processor to execute a computer program to perform the processing shown in FIG. 5, for example.

[0063] The program includes instructions (or software code) that, when loaded into a computer, cause the computer to perform one or more functions described in the embodiments.
