Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a safety management system for a tram station, and more specifically, to a safety management system for a tram station using artificial intelligence that divides the station into danger zones and caution zones, recognizes objects within each zone, and takes appropriate countermeasures. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, infrared sensors have been utilized to detect potential hazards (pedestrians, obstacles, etc.) that may occur on the sides of a tram while it is driving or stopped. This conventional technology is configured to place low-power infrared sensors on the sides of the tram to detect the presence of objects in close proximity and transmit the detection signal to a control unit to determine whether a dangerous situation has occurred. Through this, the aim is to ensure safety on the sides of the tram using a method that consumes less power than cameras or LiDAR.

[0003] However, such conventional technology has been limited to proximity detection methods based on infrared sensors. Consequently, it can only determine the simple presence of an object, making it difficult to precisely distinguish the type of object (person, stroller, obstacle, etc.) or its behavior (boarding / alighting, approaching, etc.).

[0004] Furthermore, infrared sensors have limited recognition performance depending on the environment (illumination, weather, obstacle materials, etc.), and the lack of AI-based image analysis and object recognition capabilities made stable safety management difficult in various situations.

[0005] Furthermore, conventional technology has failed to provide a multi-layered safety management system linked with tram door control, driver notifications, and station signaling devices because it utilizes risk detection results solely as simple control signals. Prior art literature

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1692809 (Vehicle camera device and obstacle distance measurement method using the same), 3. Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2639022 (Operation using drivable area detection). The problem to be solved

[0007] Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the aforementioned problems, and the objective of the present invention is to provide a safety management system for a tram station using artificial intelligence that can ensure boarding and alighting safety by accurately detecting whether passengers or obstacles are present near the doors using a side camera and AI-based object recognition technology during the process of a tram stopping or departing from a station, and intelligently controlling the opening and closing of the doors and the departure of the tram based on this.

[0035] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a camera is installed on the upper side of the tram (10) to photograph the side of the tram (10) and the station (20). The first camera (110) photographs the side of the tram (10) and part of the station (20), and the first field of view is in the range of 20° to 40° and preferably about 30°.

[0036] The second camera (120) is installed next to the first camera (110) and captures the entire background including the side of the tram (10) and the station (20). To this end, the second field of view of the second camera (120) is a wide angle in the range of 100° to 130°, preferably about 120°. Video from the first and second cameras (110, 120) is transmitted to the camera data receiver (150).

[0037] The station monitoring device (100) includes a collision risk judgment unit (130), an artificial intelligence object detection unit (140), and a camera data receiving unit (150), and can be realized by a computer and application software.

[0038] The camera data receiving unit (150) receives and stores video from the first and second cameras (110, 120).

[0039] The artificial intelligence object detection unit (140) detects an object (30) based on the image from the camera and infers the type of the detected object (30) (e.g., passenger, child, elderly person, stroller, wheelchair, obstacle, cargo, carrier, pet, etc.), size, speed (including speed and direction of movement), and distance between the object (30) and the tram (10). To this end, the artificial intelligence object detection unit (140) is trained in advance using a plurality of training datasets.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 3c, the collision risk judgment unit (130) defines a danger zone (40) within 1 to 2 m from the side of the tram (10) and defines a caution zone (50) outside the danger zone (40). In FIG. 3c, the danger zone (40) is indicated in red. The collision risk judgment unit (130) determines that there is a possibility of collision if an object (30) is detected within the danger zone (40) or if the object (30) is moving toward the tram (10) at a speed greater than a reference speed.

[0045] The vehicle control unit (200) includes a door control unit (220), a driving control unit (240), and a driver alarm device (210) to control the operation of the tram (10) based on the output of the station monitoring unit (100).

[0046] The door control unit (220) controls the door control switch (230), and the driving control unit (240) controls the driving control device (250) of the tram (10). The door control unit (220) and the driving control unit (240) can be implemented using a CPU, a microcomputer, a PLC (programmable logic controller), etc.

[0047] The driver alarm device (210) outputs the judgment status and control status of the door control panel (220) and the driving control panel (240) to the driver. To this end, the driver alarm device (210) may be a monitor, a speaker, etc.

[0048] The station signal device (300) is installed at a station outside the tram (10) and is configured to wirelessly receive a signal regarding the operation of the tram (10) and display it at the station (20).

[0049] The station signal device (300) is composed of a driving control judgment data receiving unit (330), a door control unit data receiving unit (320), and a station signal device control unit (310).

To this end, the driving control judgment data receiving unit (330) includes a wireless Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a wireless LAN module, an internet module, and a 4G or 5G communication network module.

[0051] The door control unit data receiving unit (320) receives door control unit data from the door control judgment unit (220) of the vehicle control device (200). To this end, the door control unit data receiving unit (320) includes a wireless Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a wireless LAN module, an internet module, and a 4G or 5G communication network module.

[0052] The station signal device control unit (310) controls the station signal device located in front of the tram (10) based on data received by the driving control judgment data receiving unit (330) and the door control unit data receiving unit (320).

[0053] Operation of the example

[0054] Hereinafter, the operation of a preferred embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 4 is a flowchart schematically showing a safety management method for a tram station using artificial intelligence according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3a to 3d are photographs illustrating the process of a safety management device according to the present invention recognizing an object (30) within a danger area (40).

[0055] As shown in FIG. 4, with the tram (10) stopped at the station (20), the first and second cameras (110, 120) photograph the side of the tram (10) and the station (20) (see FIG. 3a).

[0056] Next, the camera data receiving unit (150) receives the captured video, and the artificial intelligence object detection unit (140) detects an object (30) within the station (20) based on the video (S100). Specifically, the object (30) is detected in individual frames within the video (see FIG. 3b).

[0057] To detect the object (30), first, the top-left corner of the 2D box occupied by the object (30) ) and bottom right ( Get the pixel coordinates of ). The bottom-right pixel coordinates of the 2D box of the object (30) ( The straight-line distance between the side of the tram (10) and the object (30) is estimated using ). For the estimation, an extrinsic parameter matrix calculated by matching the camera pixel coordinate system and the actual coordinate system (metric) is utilized.

[0058] The homography matrix is ​​a 3×3 transformation matrix calculated based on the camera's external attitude (roll, pitch, yaw) and position, and is used to transform the image's pixel coordinate system (u,v,1) into the global coordinate system (x,y,1) (metric). Here y represents the distance value of the object (30) from the side of the tram (10).

[0059]

[0060] Next, the collision risk determination unit (130) determines whether the object (30) is located within the danger area (40) and the caution area (50) of the station (20) (S120) (see FIG. 3c). More specifically, the collision risk determination unit (130) determines that the object (30), who is a passenger, is within the danger area (40) in an image such as FIG. 3c.

[0061] Next, the collision risk judgment unit (130) determines the possibility of a collision between the object (30) and the tram (10) based on the location, size, speed, and distance from the object (30) (S130) (see FIG. 3d). Even if the object (30) is located within the caution area (50), if the object (30) moves rapidly toward the tram (10), the collision risk judgment unit (130) determines that there is a possibility of a collision. Additionally, the collision risk judgment unit (130) determines that it is a dangerous situation if the object (30) stays within the danger area (40) for a certain period of time (e.g., 10 seconds).

[0062] If there is a dangerous situation where a collision is possible, the door control judgment unit (220) determines whether the door is closed (S140). If the door is not closed, it determines whether there is a door closing command (S150), and if there is a door closing command, it blocks the door closing command (S160). This is to prevent accidents where a passenger gets caught in the door or bumps into the door while the door is closing.

[0063] Then, if the door closing command is blocked, or if the door is closed, or if there is no door closing command, the driving control judgment unit (240) blocks the driving command of the tram (10) (S170). This is to prevent the tram (10) from starting in a dangerous situation. Then, the driver alarm device (210) notifies the driver of the dangerous situation (S180). The vehicle control unit (200) transmits a stop signal to the station signal device (300) (S190). Through this, the driver hears the alarm inside the driver's seat of the tram (10) and can easily check the signal device in front of the tram (10) with the naked eye.

[0064] If there is no dangerous situation, the door control judgment unit (220) determines whether the door is closed (S132), and if the door is not closed, returns to the step of detecting the object (30) (S100). And if the door is closed, the vehicle control device (200) transmits a driving signal to the station signal device (300) to operate the tram (10) (S134).

[0065] Modified Examples

[0066] One embodiment of the present invention is intended for a tram (10), but it may also be intended for a train running on a railway, a high-speed train, a subway, a tourist train, a monorail, etc.

[0067] The camera of the present invention can be replaced with an ultrasonic sensor, lidar, proximity sensor, momentum sensor, etc.

[0068] In the present invention, the station is defined as a risk area and a caution area, but depending on the choice of the implementer, it may be subdivided into 3 to 5 areas and then assigned different risk weights to each subdivided area.
