- a block diagram of an embodiment of an inventive device in a passenger train.
In jedem Reisezug befinden sich in einem nur den Zugbegleitern zugänglichen Raum Speichermittel 1 zur Speicherung des Reservierungszustandes aller im Reisezug angebotenen Plätze. Die Speichermittel sind über ein Datenleitungssystem 3 mit einem Mikroprozessor 2 verbunden. Über dasselbe System 3 ist an die Speichermittel 1 eine Eingabeeinheit 4 angeschlossen, die eine Tastatur und ein Diskettenlaufwerk umfaßt, mit deren Hilfe sich der momentane Reservierungszustand in die Speichermittel 1 eingeben läßt. Ferner ist ein Übersichtsdisplay 5 mit dem System 3 verbunden, auf dem sich eine Übersicht über den Reservierungszustand aller Plätze darstellen läßt. Diese drei Baugruppen finden sich an jedem datenverarbeitenden Arbeitsplatz.In each passenger train there are storage means 1 for storing the reservation status of all seats offered in the passenger train in a room accessible only to the train attendants. The storage means are connected to a microprocessor 2 via a data line system 3. Via the same system 3, an input unit 4 is connected to the storage means 1, which comprises a keyboard and a floppy disk drive, with the aid of which the current reservation status can be entered into the storage means 1. Furthermore, an overview display 5 is connected to the system 3, on which an overview of the reservation status of all seats can be shown. These three assemblies can be found at every data processing workstation.
Gegebenenfalls ist neben der Eingabeeinheit 4 ein Datenempfänger 6 für Speicherbefehle einer externen Reservierungszentrale an das System 3 angeschlossen.Optionally, in addition to the input unit 4, a data receiver 6 for memory commands from an external reservation center is connected to the system 3.
Ferner sind an das System 3 eine Anzahl der reservierbaren Plätze entsprechenden Anzahl von Platzdisplays 7 angeschlossen, die an den zugeordneten Plätzen oder in deren Nähe angebracht sind. Auf dem Platzdisplay 7 läßt sich der platzspezifische Reservierungszustand anzeigen.Furthermore, a number of space displays 7 corresponding to the number of reservable spaces are connected to the system 3, which are attached to the allocated spaces or in the vicinity thereof. The place-specific reservation status can be shown on the place display 7.
Jedem angebotenen Platz ist darüber hinaus ein Bestätigungsmittel 8 zugeordnet, mit dem ein Reisender die Belegung des Platzes bestätigen kann, wenn die Anzeige auf dem Platzdisplay 7 mit den Informationen auf seiner Platzkarte übereinstimmt.A confirmation means 8 is also assigned to each space offered, with which a traveler can confirm the occupancy of the space if the display on the space display 7 matches the information on his place card.
Die Bestätigungsmittel wirken mit einem Zeitglied 9 zusammen, und zwar derart, daß nach dem Ablauf der Standzeit des Zeitgliedes 9 eine Reservierung in dem Speichermittel gelöscht wird, falls das Bestätigungsmittel 8 in der Standzeit unbetätigt geblieben ist.The confirmation means cooperate with a timer 9, in such a way that after the end of the service life of the timer 9, a reservation in the storage means is deleted if the confirmation means 8 has not been actuated during the service life.
Grundlage des Steuerprogramms des Mikroprozessors 2 für die Platzdisplays 7 ist ein CAN-Bus, der eine Kommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Bausteinen 1 bis 6, die zu einem Arbeitsplatz zusammengefaßt sein können, einerseits und jedem Platzdisplay 7 und jedem Bestätigungsmittel 8 andererseits über längere Leitungsstrecken störungsfrei gewährleistet.The basis of the control program of the microprocessor 2 for the space displays 7 is a CAN bus, which ensures communication between the individual components 1 to 6, which can be combined to form a work station, on the one hand and each space display 7 and each confirmation means 8 on the other hand over long line sections without interference .
Das Zeitglied 9 ist zweckmäßigerweise in das Programm des Mikroprozessors 2 integriert.The timing element 9 is expediently integrated into the program of the microprocessor 2.
Mittels eines Gebers kann vorübergehend auf dem Platzdisplay 7 auch der nächste Haltebahnhof und die Ankunftszeit dort angezeigt werden. Auch lassen sich mittels des Gebers Werbeaussagen auf dem Platzdisplay 7 einblenden.The next stop and the arrival time can also be shown temporarily on the space display 7 by means of an encoder. Advertising messages can also be shown on the space display 7 by means of the encoder.
Ferner kann auch als eine platzspezifische Informatin, z. B. eine Nachricht für den Reisenden, über die Eingabetastatur 4 auf dem Platzdisplay dargestellt werden.It can also be used as a site-specific information, e.g. B. a message for the traveler, can be shown on the keyboard via the input keyboard 4.
Eine voll ausgebaute erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung läßt sich in folgender Weise nutzen.A fully developed device according to the invention can be used in the following way.
Eine geraume Zeitspanne vor der Abfahrt des Reisezuges am Einsatzbahnhof werden entweder vom Zugbegleiter über die Eingabeeinheit 4 oder von einer entfernten Zentrale aus über den Datenempfänger 6 die aktuellen Reservierungen der Plätze nach dem momentanen Stand der Buchungen in die Speichermittel eingegeben. Dabei kann für einen einzelnen Platz auch eine wechselnde Belegung während der einzelnen Streckenabschnitte zwischen den aufeinanderfolgenden Haltebahnhöfen eingegeben werden. Die Eingaben werden dann auf den Platzdisplays 7 individuell angezeigt.A long period of time before the departure of the train at the operating station, the current reservations of the seats according to the current status of the bookings are entered into the storage means either by the train attendant via the input unit 4 or from a remote control center via the data receiver 6. For a single seat, changing occupancy can also be entered during the individual sections of the route between the successive stops. The entries are then individually displayed on the space displays 7.
Wenn ein Reisender, der einen Platz gebucht hat, diesen anhand der Anzeige auf dem Platzdisplay gefunden und eingenommen hat, dann betätigt er das Bestätigungsmittel 8, z. B. eine Taste. Deren Betätigung verhindert, daß nach Ablauf der Standzeit des Zeitgliedes 9 die Anzeige auf dem Platzdisplay gelöscht wird.If a traveler who has booked a place has found and taken it on the basis of the display on the place display, then he actuates the confirmation means 8, e.g. B. a button. Their actuation prevents the display on the place display from being deleted after the service life of the timer 9 has expired.
Die Bestätigungstaste kann auch von einem Reisenden betätigt werden, der keinen Platz gebucht hat und einen freien Platz eingenommen hat. In diesem Fall erscheint ein Belegungshinweis in dem Platzdisplay, der überdies mittels des CAN-Busses in die Speichermittel 1 eingelesen wird und auf dem Übersichtsdisplay sichtbar gemacht wird. Dieser Belegungshinweis wird dann ebenfalls nach Ablauf der Standzeit des Zeitgliedes 9 nicht gelöscht. Der Bestätigungs- oder Belegungshinweis kann z. B. durch Wechsel der Grundfarbe in dem dem Platz zugeordneten Display erfolgen.The confirmation button can also be pressed by a traveler who has not booked a seat and has taken a free seat. In this case, an occupancy notice appears in the space display, which is also read into the storage means 1 by means of the CAN bus and is made visible on the overview display. This assignment note is then also not deleted after the service life of the timer 9. The confirmation or occupancy notice can e.g. B. by changing the basic color in the display assigned to the place.
Rechtzeitig vor Ankunft des Reisezuges am ersten Haltebahnhof wird vom Zugbegleiter oder automatisch ein Wechsel der Anzeige in allen Platzdisplays 7 auf die von dem Geber über das System 3 gesendeten Namen der Station und Ankunftszeit ausgelöst. Bei Erreichen der Station werden dann diejenigen Belegungshinweise in den Speichermitteln 1 und damit in dem Platzdisplay 7 gelöscht, deren Reservierung an diesem Bahnhof endet.In good time before the arrival of the train at the first station, the train attendant or automatically changes the display in all seat displays 7 to the station names and arrival time sent by the transmitter via the system 3. When the station is reached, the occupancy information in the storage means 1 and thus in the space display 7, the reservation of which ends at this station, is then deleted.
Mit dem Ablauf der Standzeit des Zeitgliedes 9 kann auch ein Wechsel der Anzeige in dem Platzdisplay auf eine Folge von Werbeaussagen verbunden sein, wenn solche in dem Geber gespeichert sind.With the expiry of the service life of the timing element 9, a change of the display in the space display to a sequence of advertising messages can be connected, if these are stored in the encoder.
Neben dem Bestätigungsmittel 8 kann jedem Platz auch eine Ruftaste 11 zugeordnet sein, bei deren Betätigung in dem Übersichtsdisplay 5 in dem dem Platz zugeordneten Feld eine Markierung erscheint, die der Zugbegleitung den Ruf des Reisenden mitteilt. Eine wenig aufwendige Ergänzung eines Bestätigungsmittels 8 durch eine Ruftaste 11 ergibt sich, wenn man beide in einer Schaltwippe zusammenfaßt.In addition to the confirmation means 8, a call button 11 can also be assigned to each seat. When this button is pressed, a mark appears in the overview display 5 in the field assigned to the seat, which notifies the train attendant of the call of the passenger. A less complex addition of a confirmation means 8 by a call button 11 results when you combine both in a rocker switch.
