STATION CONGESTION PREDICTION DEVICE AND STATION CONGESTION INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To estimate the number of people on a platform including the number of people outside of the measuring range of a sensor such as a monitoring camera installed at a predetermined location of the platform, using a result of measuring the number of people present in part of the platform.;SOLUTION: To obtain the object, a station congestion prediction device comprises: a storage unit storing time-zone-specific probability distribution information on a probability distribution representing passenger waiting positions on a platform in every time zone; and an arithmetic processing unit executing processing for acquiring information on the number of passengers waiting at a predetermined position on the platform from a measuring instrument installed on the platform, processing for searching a probability distribution of the passenger waiting positions at a time of measuring the information on the number of passengers, from the time-zone-specific probability distribution information, and processing for finding a passenger waiting probability at the predetermined position from the probability distribution of the passenger waiting positions, and predicting the number of passengers waiting at the other positions on the platform using the information on the number of passengers.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
