  • Publication number: 20240318409
    Abstract: A system for detecting that the motion of an automatically operated work machine is abnormal includes: a target position acquisition unit that acquires target position information about a monitoring target part; an abnormal motion region setting unit that sets an abnormal motion region (Rab) based on the target position information; a current position acquisition unit that acquires a current position of the monitoring target part; and an abnormal motion judgment unit. The abnormal motion region (Rab) is set outside the area occupied by the monitoring target part when the monitoring target part is located at the target position. The abnormal motion judgment unit judges whether or not the current position is within the abnormal motion region (Rab).

  • Publication number: 20240290184
    Abstract: The intrusion detection system includes a GNSS sensor that acquires a position of a work machine at work in a work area, a LiDAR that is disposed outside the work area and acquires point cloud data indicating a distance up to an object located inside or outside the work area, a position calculation unit that calculates positions of respective points of the point cloud data, a specifying unit that specifies a portion corresponding to the work machine from the point cloud data as specific data, based on the position of the work machine and the positions of the respective points of the point cloud data, and a detection unit that detects that an object has entered the work area, based on the point cloud data excluding the specific data.

  • Publication number: 20240279910
    Abstract: Provided is a worksite monitoring system that achieves suppression of a decrease in the work efficiency of a working machine. The worksite monitoring system includes: a camera that captures an image of a worksite; an object detection part that detects, on the basis of the image captured by the camera, a working machine in the worksite; a position acquisition part that acquires a position of the working machine detected by the object detection part; a type determination part that determines a type of the working machine detected by the object detection part; a working area setting part that sets a working area associated with the type determined by the type determination part for the working machine detected by the object detection part; and an unsafety state detection part that detects an unsafety state on the basis of the position of the working machine acquired by the position acquisition part and the working area set by the working area setting part.

  • Publication number: 20240279908
    Abstract: A range where an object to be monitored is monitored is set appropriately. A monitoring system includes a work machine capable of being automatically operated, a work plan setting unit , a monitoring range setting unit, an object-to-be-monitored detection unit, and an entry determination unit. The work plan setting unit sets a work plan of the work machine. The monitoring range setting unit sets a first monitoring range around the work machine based on the work plan. The object-to-be-monitored detection unit detects the object to be monitored around the work machine. The entry determination unit determines whether the object to be monitored has entered the first monitoring range.
