Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a guiding robot installed in front of a guidance target section such as a construction section for guiding a vehicle to stop and travel, and a traffic of the guidance target section using the guidance robot. The present invention relates to a traffic guidance method that provides guidance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when vehicles are alternately passed on one side due to road construction or the like, traffic guides are generally used in order to accurately grasp the traffic condition so that the vehicles can pass smoothly or prevent accidents. The traffic guidance of the vehicle is performed by the etc. In traffic guidance by this traffic guide,
If the section to be guided is relatively long or the visibility is poor due to curves etc., for example, place a guide member not only at the entrance / exit of the section to be guided but also at an appropriate place such as the middle part and It was necessary to guide a passing vehicle while communicating with each other by communication means.

By the way, although it is still necessary to pass the vehicle on one side alternately, in the case where construction is temporarily suspended due to restrictions such as night construction, for example, without arranging traffic guides, Guide the vehicle by installing opposite traffic lights that are related to each other across the construction section, that is, when one is a "red" signal, the other is a "blue" signal. There is also so-called unmanned traffic guidance.

On the other hand, on an expressway or the like, the section to be guided extends over a relatively long distance, and it is extremely dangerous because the vehicle runs at high speed. A humanoid robot is used together with a large number of color cones to be displayed to guide the vehicle. This humanoid robot is mounted on a work vehicle and the arm with a guide flag moves up and down, so that the driver of a vehicle approaching at high speed needs to change the lane because construction is being done in the front. It acts to call attention to something.

[0005]

When a traffic guide guides a vehicle, the traffic guide directs the driver of the passing vehicle to give a "stop" or "progress" signal. A relatively smooth traffic guidance is provided. However, when a large number of traffic guides guide each other while making mutual calls, there may be situations where the guides do not communicate well with each other and the vehicles enter from both sides. There was also an unexpected trouble between the driver and the guide who were frustrated. Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to secure the required number of inducers at midnight.

In addition, when a traffic signal is installed to guide unmanned traffic, there may be no observer or the signal "stop" may be displayed and the signal may be ignored. There were many vehicles coming in, and there was a problem that traffic congestion progressed because the signal intervals of "stop" and "progress" were set mechanically regardless of the traffic conditions in the vertical direction. In addition, "stop" is displayed automatically even when there is almost no traffic at night, etc.
Was felt very long, and the driver's frustration became more and more frustrating.

Mechanization of traffic guidance is extremely important in order to solve labor shortages and prevent dangers to guides and workers, but as mentioned above, only conventional traffic lights or simple arm (flag) swinging operations are performed. In a traffic guidance system using a humanoid robot that does not have a humanoid robot, for example, the idea of "stopping the vehicle temporarily" in cooperation with the construction of the driver of the passing vehicle is not adopted. It is a dry means only to give an instruction, and because the traffic signal or the humanoid robot only operates independently of the operation operation of the vehicle, it cannot be replaced with traffic guidance by the guide. there were.

The reason why the traffic guidance by the guide is effective is that the driver of the passing vehicle is directly instructed to "stop" and "progress". It is extremely important to send a stop signal with your line of sight to stop the vehicle reliably, and when sending a "progress" signal to the driver of the vehicle that was stopped, some kind of cooperation for temporary stop It is about to do thanks. However, it has been impossible to expect such an operation from a conventional traffic light or humanoid robot.

In order for the robot to guide the vehicle smoothly and accurately, not only does it have a function in place of a traffic light, but the operation itself of the robot that guides the passage of the vehicle is close to that of a human being. However, there are various problems such as a driver's neglect and risk of mischief if the guidance robot is not finished well. Robots have not been provided.

Therefore, the present invention eagerly analyzes the above-described guiding operation by the guiding member, and arranges the traffic guiding robot for guiding the vehicle by a motion which is extremely close to natural and the traffic guiding robot in front of the target section. By doing so, it is an object of the present invention to provide a traffic guidance system that enables smooth and reliable traffic guidance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, in a two-way road, road construction is being performed in one lane, and a traffic guidance target section A such as a road construction section in which one side of the vehicle is required to alternate is targeted. We will introduce the traffic guidance method. In this traffic guidance method, at least a pair of traffic guidance robots 20 (20A, 20B) are installed on both sides of the traffic guidance target section A and are remotely operated by an operator 1.

It is preferable that the operator 1 is in a place where the progress of construction work, the traffic condition of the vehicle, the pedestrians, etc. can be monitored, and the traffic guiding robot 20 operates by operating the controller 2 held by the operator 1. The vehicle is stopped at the position of the stop line 3 or guided by a number of color cones 4 installed so as to proceed along a designated traveling path.

As shown in FIG. 2, the traffic guiding robot 20 is mounted on a movable table 5 which is made movable by having casters 6 on its bottom surface. This movable table 5
In order to install the rotation support mechanism 7 that rotatably supports the traffic guidance robot 20 and the traffic guidance robot 20 in a horizontal state, for example, the level adjuster mechanism 8 that adjusts the height positions of the four corners of the moving table 5 or the traffic guidance mechanism 8 A control unit 9 for converting and driving each body part of the robot 20 into a guidance mode, which will be described later, a wireless receiver 10 and the like are housed, and
A generator 11 that is a drive source is connected.

The rotation support mechanism 7 is parallel to the traveling path when the traffic guide robot 20 installed so as to face the traveling direction of the vehicle is converted into a "progress" guide mode described later. It is a mechanism for rotating to a normal state, and the control unit 9 considers maintenance or manual operation switching,
It can be pulled out from the movable table 5. further,
One generator 11 is connected to each of the traffic guidance robots 20A and 20B and serves as a power source for a motor arc actuator, a control unit, a light emitting display, and the like for driving each body part configured as a movable part.

The traffic guidance robot 20 is a functional robot whose purpose is to reliably and smoothly guide the vehicle in the road construction section. Therefore, the traffic guidance robot 20 is not limited to a human-like form but is close to a human's natural motion. It requires movement and a relatively sophisticated finish. For this reason, the embodiment traffic guidance robot 20 is configured to have a human body model imitating a traffic guide, and has a head 21, left and right shoulders 22A and 22B, left and right elbows 23A and 23B, and a waist 24. Are each constructed as a movable part by incorporating a suitable motor, arcuator, sensor and movable mechanism.

Further, since it is effective for the traffic guidance robot 20 to operate the white and red guidance flags which are generally used for vehicle guidance, the white guidance flag 25 is provided on the right hand and the white guidance flag is provided on the left hand. A red guide flag 26 is gripped, and a helmet 28 to which a light emission signal device 27 composed of red and green high-intensity light emitting LEDs is attached is attached to the head.

At night, etc., the guide flags 25, 2
Instead of 6, the green and red guide lights may be held respectively, or the guide flags 25 and 26 may be subjected to fluorescent treatment, or the rod portion may be provided with two high-intensity light emitting LEDs of red and green. Therefore, it may be configured to emit light in green and red.

In the traffic guidance method of this embodiment, the above-mentioned red and
The white guide flags 25, 26 or guide lights constitute the main guide means. However, in order to perform more reliable guidance and maintain the guidance effect even at night, etc., the light emission signal attached to the helmet 28 as described above. The device 27 constitutes an auxiliary guiding means.

As described above, the traffic guiding robot 20 has a head 21 and left and right shoulders 22 which are constructed as movable parts.
A, 22B, left and right elbows 23A, 23B, and waist 24 are appropriately converted by the operator 1 operating the controller 2, and at least "stop", "caution", and "progress" will be described later. It is converted and driven into the basic guidance form. Hereinafter, the operation of each part of the body configured as each movable part will be individually described.

In the traffic guidance robot 20, it is not particularly important for the driver of a vehicle approaching from a distance because the facial expression itself cannot be recognized. It is extremely important to drive the head 21 at the same time. Therefore, the head 21
Is configured to oscillate in the vertical direction and rotate in the horizontal direction.

The vertical swinging motion of the head portion 21 is interlocked with the bending operation of the waist portion 24, which will be described later, to provide a "bow" to the driver of the traffic guidance robot 20.
Create a form. Further, the left-right rotation operation of the head portion 21 is performed so that the head portion 21 faces the driver of the traveling vehicle.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned operation range of the head portion 21 should be adjusted so that there is no unnaturalness in consideration of the installation position of the traffic guidance robot 20 and the line-of-sight position of the driver of the vehicle stopped at the stop line 3. The angles are set to be deviated from each other, and the rotation angle is not necessarily 90 ° which corresponds to the rotation of the body. In the present embodiment, from the initial state shown in FIG. 2, the head portion 21 has a vertical direction of 15 ° and a front position of −5.
The angle is set to 15 ° to the left, −15 ° to the left, and 75 ° to the right.

The left and right shoulders 22A and 22B are formed such that the left and right shoulders swing vertically with respect to the lateral direction. These two shoulders 2
By the rocking motions of 2A and 22B, the green and red guide flags 25 and 26 held in both the left and right hands are greatly swung, respectively, to guide the vehicle. Also, these shoulders 22A,
22B is a part where the weight of the entire arm and the guide flags 25 and 26 are applied, and sufficient durability is required. In the present embodiment, the operating region of the shoulder 22 is set to an angle of 165 ° upward and 15 ° downward from the initial state shown in FIG.

In the traffic guidance robot 20, the left and right shoulders 22A and 22B are moved to the left and right in consideration of the case where the arm pivots greatly and hits an obstacle or a passerby. A torque limiter is incorporated in the drive mechanism portion of both shoulder portions 22A and 22B, and thereby damage of the internal mechanism is prevented or safety is ensured.

The left and right elbow portions 23A and 23B are moved in accordance with the vertical swing motions of the left and right shoulder portions 22A and 22B, respectively, so that the movement of the entire arm is softened, and the traffic guiding robot. It is designed to eliminate the unnatural movement of 20. Also, the waist 24 is
As described above, the head 21 is moved in association with the vertical movement of the head 21 to create a "bow" movement.

The traffic guiding robot 20 configured as described above is operated by the operator 1 by operating the controller 2 in the order of "stop-progress-caution" as a basic conversion operation of the guidance form, as shown in FIG. Although the guidance mode is converted and driven, if an emergency occurs and it is necessary to stop the entry of the vehicle into the guidance target section A or if it is necessary to permit the entry of the vehicle, As shown by the dotted line, the traffic guidance robot 20 can be appropriately converted and driven from the "progress" guidance form to the "stop" guidance form or the "stop" guidance form to the "attention" guidance form.

The pair of traffic guidance robots 20A and 20B installed across the traffic guidance target section A are operated by the operator 1 by the controller 2 as shown in FIG. That is, when one of the traffic guidance robots 20A is conversion driven in the guidance mode cycle of "-stop-progress-attention-stop-",
The other traffic guidance robot 20B is conversion-driven in a "-progress-attention-stop-progress-" guidance mode cycle.

The traffic guidance robots 20A, 20
The operation B is performed in conjunction with the operation of the controller 2 by the operator 1, but may be performed by an independent operation. Further, the conversion cycle of the above-described guidance mode is appropriately switched by the operator 1 depending on the traffic condition of the vehicle, but it is needless to say that it may be automatically set.

Next, the "stop", "progress" and "attention" guidance modes and operations of the above traffic guidance robot 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, the guiding form of “stop” of the guiding robot 20 is from the initial form shown in FIG. 2 to the horizontal height of the left hand by driving the left shoulder portion 22B as shown by an arrow a. It is pulled up and the red guide flag 26 is projected to the road side. Further, the body is directly facing the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the red LED of the light emitting display 27 mounted on the helmet 28 blinks.

In this "stop" guidance mode, the traffic guidance robot 20 takes the following natural motions. That is, the head portion 21 is rotated in the direction of the stop line 3 so as to align the line-of-sight position with the driver of the vehicle stopped at the position of the stop line 3 (in the present embodiment, the head 21 is moved to the left with respect to the front by 15).
° rotated. ), And after the conversion to the guidance form, the forward bending motion of the waist 24 indicated by the arrow b and the vertical motion of the head portion 21 indicated by the arrow c are performed to "bow" the driver.

The traffic guidance robot 20 is converted and driven from the above-mentioned "stop" guidance mode to the "progress" guidance mode shown in FIG. That is, when the rotating mechanism 7 is driven in the direction of the arrow d in the figure, the traffic guiding robot 20 directs its body to the road side, the left hand is lowered to the initial position, and the right shoulder portion 22A is driven. By
The right hand is raised to a horizontal position. At this time, the head 21 is rotationally driven in the arrow e direction so as to face the front direction. In this embodiment, the right shoulder portion 22A is set at an angle of 15 ° and the head portion 21 is set at an angle position of 5 ° with respect to the front of the vehicle.

In this state, the right shoulder portion 22A is further rotated upward and the right elbow portion 23A is simultaneously operated to perform a natural arm swing motion, and this arm swing motion is repeated thereafter. As a result, the right hand swings greatly from the horizontal position to the upper position as shown by the arrow f in the figure, and the white guide flag 25 swings greatly. Also, helmet 2
The light emitting display 27 attached to 8 changes from red to green and blinks.

The traffic guidance robot 20 is driven to be converted from the "progress" guidance mode to the "attention" guidance mode shown in FIG. That is, the rotation mechanism 7 is restored and rotated in the direction of arrow g in FIG.
Are oriented so that their body faces the traveling direction of the vehicle again. Further, the right hand is lowered to the initial position, and the left shoulder 22B is driven, so that the left hand is pulled up to the horizontal position. At this time, the head 21 is held at an angle position of 5 ° with respect to the front surface.

In this state, the left shoulder portion 22B is further rotated upward and the left elbow portion 23B is also operated at the same time to perform a natural arm swing motion, and this arm swing motion is repeated thereafter. As a result, the right hand swings greatly from the horizontal position to the upper position as indicated by the arrow h in the figure, and the red guide flag 26 swings greatly. Also, helmet 2
The light-emitting display 27 attached to 8 changes from green to red and blinks. The blinking interval of red is earlier than in the "stop" state.

The traffic guidance robot 2 configured as described above
For example, 0 is installed as a set of two bodies across the traffic guidance target section A, and is operated by the operator 1 by operating the controller 2 to convert the driving mode into “stop”, “caution”, and “progress” guidance modes. , Guidance of vehicles entering. As described above, the traffic guidance robot 20
Is a natural movement close to the movement of the guide member, and each guidance form is clear, so that reliable and smooth traffic guidance can be performed.

In the above embodiment, the operation when the traffic guidance robot 20 is installed in the traveling lane of the vehicle, that is, the left lane has been described. However, there is no space in the road shoulder portion of the left lane. Traffic guidance robot 20
In the case of installing in the right lane, for example, the right hand has a red guide flag and the left hand has a white guide flag, and the head and other parts of the body configured as movable parts are appropriately operated in a natural direction. Of course, there is a need.

Further, FIG. 8 shows another guidance form of the traffic guidance robot 20, that is, a guidance form for instructing a route change. As described above, in the traffic guidance system that requires one-sided mutual traffic, the traffic guidance robot 20
Will be installed in pairs across the section A for traffic guidance,
Assistance that is converted to a "route change" guidance mode when there is no need to cross each other on highways or multi-lane roads, or where there is poor visibility, such as prior guidance during construction. Traffic guidance robot 20 is installed.

That is, this auxiliary traffic guidance robot 2
0 is directed to the state in which the body faces the traveling direction of the vehicle in the "route change" guidance mode. In addition, the left hand is lowered to the position of the initial form, and the right shoulder 22A
Is driven, the right hand is pulled up to a horizontal position. At this time, the head 21 is held at an angle position of 5 ° with respect to the front surface.

In this state, the right shoulder portion 22A is further rotated upward and the right elbow portion 23A is simultaneously operated to perform a natural arm swing motion, and this arm swing motion is repeated thereafter. As a result, the right hand greatly swings from the horizontal position to the upper position, as shown by the arrow i in the figure, and the white guide flag 25 swings greatly. In addition, helmet 2
The light-emitting display 27 attached to No. 8 is in the off state.

The traffic guidance robot 20 for instructing the above-mentioned "route change" is appropriately installed in front of the traffic guidance target section A to one or a few objects depending on the road condition and the like, and the "attention" guidance mode is set. It is also effective to interpose the traffic guidance robot 20. In addition, this "path change" guidance mode does not require the operator 1 to operate the controller 2 in particular, and may be configured to be driven by the setting operation of the control unit 9. Alternatively, the traffic guidance robot 20 may be equipped with a wireless microphone / spiker, and the operator 1 may call the pedestrian through the traffic guidance robot 20.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the wireless receiver 10 is housed inside the moving table 5 and the pair of traffic guiding robots 20A and 20B are wirelessly driven by the operation of the controller 2 by the operator 1. However, it is a matter of course that the wired drive system may be used when the guidance target section is a relatively short distance.
