Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention enables moving objects such as people and cars entering the premises to reach their destinations via the shortest route without getting lost within the premises. The present invention relates to a destination guidance device capable of displaying routes as described above.

(Prior Art) In recent years, destination guidance devices have been used in the premises of factories, hospitals, schools, etc. to display routes for people, cars, and other moving objects entering the premises to guide them to their destinations. It is being

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of this type of conventional destination guidance device. In FIG. 4, in a computer system 1, an operator 2 uses a CRT device 3 as a man-machine interface, and information regarding traffic rules within the premises is stored in a storage unit 4. Furthermore, the calculation unit 5 is able to ascertain the current traffic rules based on the current time and the time zone traffic rules stored in the storage unit 4. On the other hand, a route indicator 8 is installed at an intersection 7 of the campus road 6.

The forward route determined by the arithmetic unit 5 then passes through the transmitting unit 9 and a communication path such as a campus LAN to the route indicator 8.
The route display 8 displays the received destination-specific route. As a result, person 11. A moving object such as the car 12 knows its course by looking at the display on the course indicator 8.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of routes within the premises. In Figure 5, construction site 13 is occupied by 1 person]! ii 12 are prohibited areas, one-way traffic area 14 is for cars] 2 is a place where traffic is prohibited in the opposite direction, pedestrian open area] 5 is for cars during lunch break 12
This is a no-traffic area.

In addition, the destinations of moving objects such as people 1 who enter (visit) from outside and cars 12 are A, B, C, D, and E.

This is the office of F, G, H', J, etc. In this case, the display on the route indicator 8 at the intersection 7 will be as shown in FIG. 6, for example. FIG. 4(a) shows a traffic rule warning at the intersection 7 during the lunch break, and FIG. 2(b) shows the route direction for each destination depending on the attribute of the moving object (person or car). Each moving object determines the course for its own destination from the uniform information shown by these route indicators 8, and proceeds straight/turns left/turns right at the intersection 7.

Now, in such a conventional destination guidance device, information regarding the route of a moving object is displayed as shown in FIG. 6, but there are problems as follows. In other words, at the intersection 7, the display as shown in Figure 6 is displayed.
If this happens, will this display display uniform information for all moving objects? Since the information displayed on the screen has become increasingly popular, each mobile object must find out what it needs from the displayed information and make a decision. especially,
In the case of a display as shown in FIG. 6(b), for example, in the case of a moving object or a pedestrian, the destination "D" is selected from the column "1 destination or building D (pedestrian)". Find the display “↑“
You have to make a decision to proceed straight from the sign. In addition, if the destination is displayed in more detail as shown in Figure 6 (1)) (for example, if the building entrances are different for each department even in the same building, the destination guidance should be displayed by section name. ), the number of characters in the guide display becomes too much information, resulting in a complicated display for a mobile object to judge its destination at a glance.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventional destination guidance devices provide complicated displays for moving objects to determine their destination, and depending on the circumstances within the premises, it may be difficult to reach the destination. There was a problem with getting lost.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a destination,
By providing destination display guidance that matches the type of mobile vehicle, even mobile vehicles entering the campus for the first time can receive destination guidance tailored to their destination without having to be aware of the detailed special traffic conditions or building layout within the campus. To provide a reliable business destination guide device that allows customers to receive information as needed and to reach a destination by the shortest route without getting lost within the premises.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides information on moving objects such as people and cars entering the premises from their current position to their destination. A destination guidance device for providing route guidance includes a recognition means for recognizing the destination of each moving object and attributes of the moving object related to traffic rules within the premises, and a storage means for storing the traffic rules within the premises. , the shortest possible route from the current position of the moving object to the destination is determined based on the location and attributes of the moving object recognized by the recognition means and the traffic rules of the premises stored in the storage means. The vehicle is configured to include six calculating means for determining the route, and a route display means for displaying information regarding the route the moving object should take in order to take the route determined by the calculating means.

(Function) Therefore, in the destination guidance device of the present invention, the destination of each moving object such as a person or a car, or the attribute of the moving object (person, car, large vehicle, etc.) related to the traffic rules within the premises.

bicycles, etc.) are recognized by the recognition means, and based on these and the traffic rules on the premises stored in advance in the storage means,
The shortest route from the current position of the moving object to the destination is determined by the calculating means, and further, the route information that the moving object should take in order to take this determined shortest route is displayed on the route display means near the moving object.

As a result, individual moving objects such as people and cars entering the premises can automatically receive directions to their destinations.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a destination guidance device according to the present invention. The same elements as those in FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted, and only the different parts will be described here.

In Figure 1, a person 1 who moves on a road 6 in the premises, a car 1
A second class mobile object carries or has a wireless card 16 stored thereon, which stores codes for identifying individual attributes (persons, cars, etc.) and destinations. In addition, near intersection 7 on the premises,
The receiver 17 for receiving the code is connected to the route indicator 8.
It is installed with. On the other hand, the computer system 18 includes one reception section, a storage section 20, a calculation section 21, and a transmission section 22.
The receiving unit] 9 is a communication path 2 such as a campus LAN, etc.

Next, the operation of the destination guidance device configured as described above will be explained.

In FIG. 1, person 11. When a moving object such as a car 12 enters the premises, the attribute of the moving object can be determined by telling the staff of the destination at the entrance of the premises.

[Wireless card that matches your destination] Take 6. When the moving body approaches the intersection 7 with the wireless card 16 taken or installed, the wireless card 16 transmits a code indicating the destination and attributes. This code indicating the destination and attributes is received by the receiver 17 installed near the intersection 7, received by the receiving section 19 of the computer system 18 through the communication path 23, and then received by the receiving section 19 of the computer system 18.
A code is passed to 1. As a result, the calculation unit 21
Based on the current time, data on the day's traffic rules for the premises stored in advance in the storage unit 20, and the type of mobile unit near the intersection 7 and the destination passed from the receiving unit 19, the current position of the mobile unit is determined. Find the shortest route from to the destination. Information on the course direction that the moving object should take in order to take this determined shortest route is transmitted from the transmitter 22 through the communication path 24 to a course indicator 8 installed near the moving object.
will be sent and displayed. It should be noted that the data on traffic regulations within the premises stored in the storage unit 20 can be registered and changed by the operator 2 through the CRT device 3.

Here, the calculation unit 21 performs processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, the signal sent from the receiver 17 installed near the intersection 7 causes the receiver 1 to
The current position of the moving object is recognized at the installation position No. 7 (step S1), and at the same time, the type of moving object (person or vehicle) and the type of moving object (person or vehicle) and 1. The same location is recognized (steps Sl, S2). Next, depending on the type of the recognized moving body (step S3
), all possible routes from the current position to the destination are searched, and the shortest route among them is determined (steps S4, S5, and S6). For example, the fifth
On the campus route shown in the figure, if a person 11 who is a moving object who has come to the intersection 7 is heading to the destination, the shortest way is to go straight and take the route 25. However, during the lunch break, pedestrian open area 15
Therefore, if the car 12 comes to the intersection 7 during this time, the shortest route will be 26 due to the construction area 13° and the one-way traffic area 14, so it is determined that the car 12 should turn right at the intersection 7. be done. After the route of the mobile object is determined in this way (step S7), this determination data is transmitted from the transmitter 22 and displayed on the route display 8 (step S8).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a guidance display displayed on the route indicator 8. FIG. 4(a) simply displays the traveling direction of the moving body, and is the simplest display method. In addition, Figure (b) shows the attribute and destination of the moving object recognized by the computer system displayed together with echo back, allowing the moving object to confirm that it is the destination guidance for itself. This is a much more reliable and clear display method.

1 As described above, the destination guidance device of this embodiment
It recognizes the location of each moving object such as a car 12 and the attributes of the moving object (people, large vehicles, bicycles, etc.) related to traffic rules within the premises, and records these in advance. The shortest route from the current location of the mobile object to the destination is determined based on the data on the traffic regulations of the premises where the mobile object is located, and the route information that the mobile object should take in order to take this determined shortest route is determined by the route near the mobile object. This is displayed on the display 8.

Therefore, for example, a person who enters (visits) for the first time within 4+'4 of a facility that has several vast areas such as a factory, hospital, or school.
．． Even mobile vehicles such as cars can receive destination guidance displays that suit their own destinations, without having to be aware of the detailed special traffic conditions or building layout within the premises, as was the case in the past, and within 4M. It becomes possible to reliably reach the inland area by taking the shortest route without getting lost in complicated traffic signboards.
