Publication number: 20230351538Abstract: The falling risk determination device includes the acquisition unit, the calculation unit, the measurement unit, and the determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires time-series data related to gravity center oscillation of the worker from a sensor unit provided at a leg portion of a high-place work tool on which the worker rides. The calculation unit calculates an evaluation value related to the gravity center oscillation from the time-series data. The measurement unit carries out a Stroop test on the worker in parallel with processing of acquiring time-series data, and measures the fatigue level of the worker using the result of the Stroop test. The determination unit determines that the falling risk is high in a case where the evaluation value is larger than an average value of past evaluation values corresponding to the fatigue level.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2020Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Rie SAKAI, Hiroshi YOSHIDA, Tomoko SHIBATA
