Abstract

There is provided a work machine information processing device including a risk detector configured to detect a risk relating to a state or a surrounding environment of a work machine, notifier configured to notify an operator of the work machine of the risk detected by the risk detector, behavior detector configured to detect a behavior of the operator after the notification of the notifier, and calculator configured to calculate a safety behavior evaluation value obtained by quantitatively evaluating the behavior of the operator in terms of a degree of contribution to the safety, based on contents of the risk detected by the risk detector and the behavior of the operator detected by the behavior detector.

Claims (30)

1. A work machine information processing device comprising:

a risk detector configured to detect a risk relating to a state or a surrounding environment of a work machine;

a notifier configured to notify an operator of the work machine of the risk detected by the risk detector;

a behavior detector configured to detect a behavior of the operator after notifying of the notifier; and

a calculator configured to calculate a safety behavior evaluation value obtained by quantitatively evaluating the behavior of the operator in terms of a degree of contribution to the safety, based on contents of the risk detected by the risk detector and the behavior of the operator detected by the behavior detector.

2. The work machine information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an output unit configured to output the safety behavior evaluation value calculated by the calculator in a visually recognizable manner.

3. The work machine information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the safety behavior evaluation value relating to the same operator, as a graph for comparing changes in the safety behavior evaluation value in predetermined time units.

4. The work machine information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the calculator determines whether or not the behavior of the operator detected by the behavior detector is coincident with a predetermined evaluation behavior set in advance, and when both are coincident with each other, the calculator calculates the safety behavior evaluation value by adding or deducting a point assigned to the coincident evaluation behavior.

5. The work machine information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the risk detector includes:

an object detector configured to detect an entry of an obstacle into a predetermined region in periphery of the work machine, and

an instability detector configured to detect an unstable state of the work machine.

6. The work machine information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the work machine information processing device is mounted on the work machine.

7. An information management system comprising:

a plurality of work machines on each of which is mounted with a work machine information processing device, the work machine information processing device comprising:

a risk detector configured to detect a risk relating to a state or a surrounding environment of a work machine,

a notifier configured to notify an operator of the work machine of the risk detected by the risk detector,

a behavior detector configured to detect a behavior of the operator after notifying of the notifier, and

a calculator configured to calculate a safety behavior evaluation value obtained by quantitatively evaluating the behavior of the operator in terms of a degree of contribution to the safety, based on contents of the risk detected by the risk detector and the behavior of the operator detected by the behavior detector; and

an information management device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the plurality of work machines,

wherein the information management device includes a storage unit configured to accumulate the safety behavior evaluation value received from the plurality of work machines.

8. The information management system according to claim 7 , wherein the information management device includes an output unit configured to output the safety behavior evaluation value relating to a plurality of operators corresponding to the plurality of work machines, as a graph for comparing the safety behavior evaluation value for each operator.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a work machine information processing program that causes a computer of a work machine information processing device including risk detector to execute a process for detecting a risk relating to a state or a surrounding environment of a work machine, the process comprising:

notifying an operator of the work machine of the risk detected by the risk detector;

detecting a behavior of the operator after notifying of the risk; and

calculating a safety behavior evaluation value obtained by quantitatively evaluating the behavior of the operator in terms of a degree of contribution to the safety, based on contents of the risk detected by the risk detector and the behavior of the operator detected by the behavior detector.
