  • Publication number: 20230351538
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230259840
    Abstract: A state detection device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires sensor values related to a center of gravity sway of a worker as time series data from a sensor which is disposed on a leg of equipment for work at height that the worker gets on and which outputs the sensor values; a calculation unit that calculates a feature of a center of gravity sway area and an evaluation value related to the center of gravity sway of the worker from the time series data; an abnormality determination unit that determines whether or not the sensor values are abnormal according to whether or not the feature of the center of gravity sway area satisfies an abnormality determination condition; and a determination unit that determines that the worker is in an unstable state if the sensor values are determined not to be abnormal and the evaluation value is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230235581
    Abstract: A measurement system according to the present embodiment includes a work tool, a sensor unit, an acquisition unit, a change unit, and a calculation unit. The work tool has a tread board with a variable width. The sensor unit is provided in the work tool. The acquisition unit acquires, from the sensor unit, time-series data on gravity center sway of a worker, in a state where the worker is standing on the tread board. The change unit reduces the width of the tread board in response to a trigger. The calculation unit calculates, from the time-series data, an evaluation value for the gravity center sway of the worker, for each width of the tread board.

  • Publication number: 20220341263
    Abstract: It is possible to easily detect a state of a worker while securing a safety of the worker. A state detection device according to a present embodiment includes a sensor unit, an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, and a determination unit. The sensor unit is disposed on a leg portion of a high-place work tool on which a worker stands. The acquisition unit acquires time-series data related to gravity center sway of the worker from the plurality of sensors. The calculation unit calculates an evaluation value for the gravity center sway from the time-series data. The determination unit determines that a state of the worker working is unstable when the evaluation value is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
