[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A commander in charge of train operation finds a train delay from a schedule on a timetable-type screen, and grasps train positions and mutual positional relationships with other trains on a route map-type screen. The operation plan (execution schedule) must be changed.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 270406/1993, in the conventional train operation prediction, the operation prediction is displayed only in the streak format.

[0004] In the above technology, the train position on the route, which is the most important for changing the train operation, can be judged how long the train is behind the train schedule (execution schedule) (it may be delayed). Since the mutual positional relationship with other trains could not be grasped, the commander had to imagine the mutual positional relationship in his mind from the line-shaped operation forecast. Therefore, by displaying the operation forecast in a route map format that can grasp the positional relationship between trains and the operation status of the entire line,
There has been proposed a train operation command device that can easily give instructions for operation rescheduling such as change of operation plan.
