Claim 4:
5. A remote operation device for remotely operating a construction machine having an attachment from a remote place distant from the construction machine, the remote operation device comprising:
a vibration detector configured to detect a plurality of vibration components in a plurality of directions different from each other, the vibration components being included in a vibration caused on the attachment;
a transmission device that transmits vibration information on the vibration of the attachment to an operator in the remote place; and
a transmission control section that controls an operation of the transmission device,
wherein a vibration determination condition for determining whether the vibration of the attachment is a vibration caused by the attachment's coming in contact with a different object is set in advance,
the vibration determination condition includes a condition that an amplitude of a maximum vibration component largest in amplitude among the plurality of vibration components detected by the vibration detector is equal to or larger than a preset amplitude threshold,
the transmission control section controls an operation of the transmission device to allow the vibration information to be transmitted to the operator only when the vibration determination condition is met,
the vibration detector is disposed on the attachment and the vibration of the attachment, the vibration being detected by the vibration detector, is defined on a first coordinate system with the attachment as a reference, and
the remote operation device further comprises:
an operator's seat in which an operator sits in the remote place; and
a coordinate system conversion section that converts vibration detection information detected by the vibration detector and defined on the first coordinate system, into vibration conversion information defined on a second coordinate system with the operator's seat in the remote place as a reference.
