DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illuminated advertising device which is arranged, for example, in a railway station yard along a track and opposite a platform, and is illuminated from behind.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, for example, in a railway station yard, an advertising board arranged side by side along a track and opposite a platform has been widely used. This is based on the fact that a stronger advertisement effect can be obtained by posting an advertisement in a position easily viewable by passengers waiting for a train. Then, such an advertising board is generally configured such that the advertising effect can be obtained even at night, indoors or underground station premises by being illuminated by a lighting device from the back side or from the front side. I have. Here, the lighting of the advertising board is set to a sufficient brightness to enhance the visibility.

[0003]

By the way, in an advertising board having such a structure, especially when illuminated from the back side, the train entering the platform can be sufficiently visible to passengers at the platform. For the driver,
The illumination light of such an advertising board may feel dazzling. For this reason, the lighting of the advertising board is conventionally set to such a level that the illuminating light does not become dazzling light for the driver and does not impair the advertising effect for passengers at home even at night or the like. Therefore, from the standpoint of the advertising function of the advertising board, brighter lighting is desirable, and from the driver's perspective, darker lighting (in the extreme case, there is preferably no lighting light for advertising) is desirable. That is to say, both hopes conflict.

[0004] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an illuminated advertising device in a station premises, in which an advertising function is more effective and a train can be operated more safely. I have.

[0005]

The present invention is attained by an illuminated advertising device in a station premises, which includes a control unit for dimming or extinguishing light.

[0006] In the first aspect, normally, the control unit drives each lighting device to light each lighting lamp, so that each advertising board is illuminated by the corresponding lighting lamp, and thus has sufficient brightness. It is kept on. Thereby, the passenger at the home can easily visually recognize the advertisement content posted on the advertisement board. Here, when the train enters the station yard, the entry detection unit detects the entry of the train and outputs a detection signal. Accordingly, the control unit controls the driving of each lighting device based on the detection signal from the entry detection unit, and dims or turns off each illumination lamp. Therefore, the driver of the train entering the station premises does not dazzle the lights due to the dimming or extinguishing of the lighting for illuminating the advertising board, so that the driver does not feel the lighting dazzling, especially in the station premises, especially at home. It is possible to make the train proceed more safely while fully checking the train.

[0007] In this way, usually, each advertising board is sufficiently illuminated by the corresponding illuminating light, so that the advertising function is sufficiently effective, and when entering the train, each directional board is illuminated.
