[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0023] As illustrated in FIG. 4 and below, the present invention relates to an unmanned operation system for a subway station, and is basically composed of a waiting room (10), a platform (20), a surveillance camera (30), an air pollution sensor (40), a robot (100), and a control unit.

[0024] The waiting room (10) is installed underground for passenger ticket inspection and waiting, and the platform (20) is installed below the waiting room (10) for boarding the train (1).

[0025] A number of surveillance cameras (30) (CCTV) are installed in the waiting room (10) and the platform (20), and an air pollution sensor (40) is installed at the pollution-predicted location where air pollution is expected. (Figs. 4, 5)

[0026] The predicted contamination point is determined by the simulation results of the airflow for the waiting room (10) and the platform (20).

[0027] The robot (100) is controlled to collect information and perform multiple tasks while moving along a set path inside the waiting room (10) and platform (20).

[0028] The control unit collects and analyzes information transmitted from the surveillance camera (30) and the air pollution sensor (40) and information transmitted from the robot (100), and maintains or changes the movement path of the robot (100).

[0029] Specifically, the robot (100) is configured to include: an image collection unit (110) installed to collect images; an air quality sensor (120) installed to measure air quality; a cleaning unit (130) installed to clean the floor; and an air purification unit (140) installed to sterilize, disinfect, and remove dust from the air.

[0030] This has the following effects.

[0031] First, in addition to the installation of multiple surveillance cameras (30), a robot (100) equipped with an image collection unit (110) moves and collects information, thereby supplementing the blind spots of the CCTV surveillance system.

[0032] Second, since the robot (100) collects information from the field and reports it to the control room, the response speed regarding situation assessment and reporting to the control room for the immediate dispatch of patrol officers can be improved.

[0033] Third, separate from the installation of the air pollution sensor (40), the robot (100) equipped with an air quality sensor (120) and an air purification unit (140) moves to measure the degree of pollution and performs air purification, thereby enabling the creation of a pleasant environment for use through the efficient purification of air quality.

[0035] For charging and waiting of the robot (100), a robot waiting unit (50) is installed at the edge of the waiting room (10) in a location that does not interfere with the passenger's movement path. (Fig. 6)

[0036] When an escalator (60) is installed to drive downward toward the inner side at the edge of the waiting room (10), it is preferable that the robot waiting section (50) be formed in the lower space of the escalator (60) (at a location that does not interfere with the passenger's movement path).

[0037] When an elevator (70) is installed in the central part of the waiting room (10) and the platform (20), the robot (100) travels between the waiting room (10) and the platform (20) by means of the elevator (70), thereby enabling efficient movement.

[0039] The tasks of the robot (100) specifically include floor cleaning, air quality management, patrolling, frequent facility inspection, and facility precision inspection.

[0040] The air quality management mission comprises the steps of: setting an air purification standard, which is a standard for air quality requiring air purification; measuring the air quality of a specific area by an air quality sensor (120) while moving and reporting to the control unit; and, if the air quality of the specific area is below the air purification standard or if there is an instruction from the control unit, having the air purification unit (140) perform sterilization, disinfection, or dust removal on the air of the specific area.

[0041] The patrol mission is configured to include: a step of moving to a specific area when the occurrence of an abnormal situation in a specific area is confirmed by a surveillance camera (30); and a step of collecting various images of the abnormal situation in the specific area by an image collection unit (110) and transmitting them to the control unit.

[0042] The task of frequent facility inspection is to identify damage to the facilities (damage to facilities caused by passengers, sudden breakdown of facilities, etc.) and transmit it to the control center.

[0043] Since abnormalities can be identified and necessary measures taken within a short period through rapid measurement, it is advisable to conduct this frequently during train operation.

[0044] The mission of precise facility inspection is to measure long-term displacement of facilities (such as structural cracks caused by ground subsidence) and transmit it to the control center.

[0045] Since this requires a long time for measurement and necessary measures, it is advisable to conduct it after the train operation has ended.

[0046] The long-term displacement of the facility can be measured by information received from a displacement gauge installed in the facility to the control unit, but it can be more clearly identified by a photograph of the crack taken by the robot (100) at the relevant point.

[0048] The movement path of the robot (100) is set differently depending on whether it is before, during, or after the train operation.

[0049] Prior to train operation, the route is set to perform floor cleaning and frequent facility inspection tasks.

[0050] During train operation, the route is set to perform floor cleaning, frequent facility inspections, air quality management, and patrol duties.

[0051] After the train operation ends, the route is set to perform floor cleaning, facility precision inspection, and patrol duties.

[0052] After the robot (100) finishes these tasks, it is controlled to move to the robot standby unit (50) to charge and standby until the train runs the next day.

[0053] Meanwhile, during the operation of the train, it is desirable for the robot (100) to focus its movement on frequent facility inspection and patrol missions.

[0054] To this end, the control unit maintains the aforementioned route during train operation when the air quality measured by the air pollution sensor (40) at the expected pollution point during train operation is below the air purification standard.

[0055] However, if the air quality measured by the air pollution sensor (40) at the predicted pollution point during the operation of the train is higher than the air purification standard, the movement to the predicted pollution point for air quality management mission is omitted, and the train's route during operation is changed to move to a point where frequent facility inspection or patrol mission is required.

[0057] The foregoing merely describes some preferred embodiments that can be implemented by the present invention. As is well known, the scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the above embodiments, and all technical concepts that share the fundamental principles with the technical concept of the present invention described above shall be considered to be included within the scope of the present invention.
