[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the method of Patent Literature 2 describes only training between dispatchers of another train operation management system, and does not describe a joint training method including a driver. Furthermore, the trained driver needs to move to the train operation handling device connected to the line section when he / she gets into another line section, and there is a difficulty in performing continuous training.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a train operation management system provided for each line section, a plurality of station simulators for simulating the running of a train located in the own station yard from the border with an adjacent station, A plurality of driving training simulation devices simulating the running of the train are connected via a network, and the train position and the train speed of each train on the line are calculated by the station simulator based on the signal state and the switch state received from the train operation management system. Further, the driving training simulator calculates the position and speed of one train based on the switch state and the acceleration / deceleration notch state input from the driving trainer, and calculates the position and speed of the train from the station simulator or the driving training simulator. The train position is transmitted to a train operation management system.
[0011]

[0013]
Further, for the train simulated by the driving training simulation device, the station simulator stops the simulation, and is configured to receive the train position and the train speed of the train when the driving training simulation device ends the simulation. ing.
[0014]
In addition, the driving training simulation device has a landscape display function of holding image data in a range in which simulation is performed and displaying an image selected according to the train position.
[0015]
The present invention for achieving the above and other objects is a train operation comprehensive training device provided in a distributed train operation management system including a plurality of station systems connected via a transmission loop with a central system for each line section, Connect a station simulator that calculates the position and speed of each train located on each station system or a plurality of station systems, connect these station simulators with a training network, and calculate the position and speed of each train on the training network. Connecting a plurality of driving training simulators, the station simulator sends the signal state and the switch state received from the transmission loop to the training network side, and the train position received from the training network side to the transmission loop side. The transmission function is provided for each.
[0016]
According to the present invention, a simulator for simulating train operation is realized by preparing a large number of station simulators having a simulation range between the station of the own station and an adjacent station. This station simulator receives the signal and point status from the train operation management system to be simulated, and based on this state, the route-specific data, and the train-specific data, the train operation management system determines the location of the train in real time. Output.
[0017]
Similarly, the driving training simulator receives a signal and a point state from the train operation management system, and based on the state, the line-specific data, the train-specific data, and the driving operation of the trained driver, It outputs only the train location to the operation management system in real time.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
First, an outline of the train operation management system will be described. The train operation management system is a device that controls a train to operate efficiently. All switches and traffic lights in the line section will be centrally controlled remotely by a computer in the central command room, and the display and train operation status will be monitored on the display. More specifically, the line wiring of each station is displayed on the display of the central command room, and the position of the train, the traffic signal, and the opening status of the switch are visually displayed here. The commander can operate the screen with a keyboard or mouse to remotely control signals and switches at each station and change the schedule of the computer. As a result, the dispatcher can monitor the train operation status in the line section and instruct the driver according to the situation using a train radio, a traffic light, a signaling device, or the like, thereby enabling smooth train operation.
[0019]
If the train is operating normally, the dispatcher does not need to perform any other operation on the train operation management system. However, once an accident or the like has occurred and the train has been disturbed, in addition to proper operation of the train operation management system, information must be transmitted to the driver and conductor of the train by train radio. For this reason, not only the operation training of the train operation management system by the dispatcher but also the joint training including drivers and conductors is necessary.
[0020]
A brief description will be given of the switching logic of a switch machine performed internally by the train operation management system. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the switching logic of the switch. When the train enters the management range of the train operation management system, (1) the train number of this train is determined from the schedule or the like of the management operation management system, and for example, the train number 1234H is assigned. Next, (2) the movement of the train in this column number is tracked in accordance with the movement of the train. Then, when the train approaches the point (switching machine), referring to (3) the schedule of the train operation management system (Fig. 9 (c)), (4) switch the switching machine so that the train moves to the line indicated by the diagram. I do. This operation is repeated while in the range of the train operation management system.
[0021]
Next, a training method will be described. The trainees are dispatchers and drivers. The dispatcher sits in front of the operation terminal of the training train operation management system, and the driver sits in front of the training cab model. At normal times when no train failure occurs, the dispatcher monitors the operation terminal of the train operation management system to grasp the operation status of the train, and the driver operates the train to keep the regular operation. Then, the training conductor causes a transportation failure on any train. The dispatcher obtains the status of the transportation obstacle and the future outlook by communicating with a driver or the like by train radio or the like, and determines a future train operation method based on this information. The determined situation is notified to the driver in the line section assigned to the dispatcher and, if necessary, to the dispatcher in another line section, and processing for restoring normal operation in the shortest possible time is performed. Here, each dispatcher has a line section in charge, but the train has access to another track section, and the driver needs to communicate with some dispatchers.
[0022]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration of a train operation comprehensive training device according to one embodiment. In this case, the target of the training is three lines A, B, and C, eight stations a to h, and three stations a, b, and c in line A, and line B in line A. There are four stations of c station, d station, e station and f station, and there are four stations of e station, f station, g station and h station in the C line. At the station c, the line A and the line B enter, and at the station e and the station f, the line B and the line C enter.
[0023]
The train operation management systems 11, 12, and 13 are system devices that actually control the actual train. There, a simulator network 50 and station simulators 21 to 28 used only for training are connected, and further, a train general training device is configured by connecting driving training simulation devices 41 to 44 which are driver training devices. I have. Hereinafter, the configuration of the apparatus and the route will be described as an example.
[0024]
FIG. 2 shows a route map of a range simulated by one station simulator. Here, 31 is the platform at station b, 32 is the platform at station c, and 33 is the platform at station d. A short line 34 extending perpendicularly to the line on the line indicates the range of the track circuit, and the line sandwiched between the short lines is one track circuit. Is the minimum unit for recognizing.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 2, the station simulator simulates a portion of the station premises and the station intermediate between all stations adjacent to the station and not simulated by the adjacent station. Further, when it is determined from the simulation result of the station simulator that the train has entered the track circuit at the boundary between the own station and the adjacent station, the fact is notified to the station simulator of the adjacent station through the simulator network 50, and the train travels. Continuity.
[0026]
FIG. 3 shows a configuration of the station simulator. The station simulator 20 has a signal state 201 for inputting a state of a traffic light output from the train operation management system 10 and a point state 202 for inputting a direction of a switchboard output from the train operation management system 10. The vehicle performance 203 stores acceleration / deceleration characteristics of the vehicle to be simulated for each vehicle type. The route data 204 stores the line gradient and the curvature of the curve within the own simulation range. The train position database 205 holds the current on-rail position of each train within its own simulation range with an accuracy that does not hinder the simulation work. The train speed database 206 holds the current speed of the train at the train position stored in the train position database 205. The speed / railing position calculation function 207 calculates the speed / railing position of the train stored in the train position database 205 at a period that does not hinder the training based on the data of these 201 to 206. The train position information 208 periodically notifies the train operation management system 10 of the train position, which is the position information of the track circuit.
[0027]
FIG. 4 shows a processing flow of the speed / railway position calculation function 207 in the station simulator. One train to be calculated based on the train position database 205 is selected (s101). A traffic signal to be referred to is selected from the position of the selected train (s102). The present status of the selected traffic signal is confirmed from the signal status 201 (s103). The acceleration / deceleration to be set to the speed notch of the train is determined from the confirmed traffic signal (s104). When the train is operated at the determined acceleration / deceleration, the location on the track (train position) and the speed at this time between the time when the calculation for this train was performed immediately before and the current time are determined by the vehicle performance 203 and the route. It is calculated from the data 204 and the point state 202 (s105). Here, it is determined whether the calculated train position is within the jurisdiction of the station simulator (s106). If it is within the range, the train position and speed are stored in the database, and the train position is transmitted to the train operation management system (s107). The case where a plurality of line sections are held, such as the c-station simulator, will be described later.
[0028]
When a series of procedures is completed, the process returns to s101 again and repeats the same procedure. On the other hand, when it is determined in s106 that the train position is out of the control area of the own simulator, the train position and the speed are transmitted to the corresponding station simulator (s108) and stored in the database there. When receiving the transmission of the train position from another simulator, the simulator selects the train in s101 and proceeds to the processing from s102.
[0029]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a data transmission / reception relationship between the train operation management system and the station simulator. The station simulator 22 of the station “b” that has only one line section receives the signal state and the point state from the A-line train operation management system 11 as an event. Based on this state, the on-line information of the train in the simulated range of the station b simulator 22 is periodically updated, and this on-line position is transmitted to the A-line train operation management system 11. When the train advances into the simulator range of the adjacent station, the station simulator 22 informs the station simulator 23 of the adjacent station based on the simulation result. Then, when a train entry is received from the station simulator 23 of the adjacent station, the train location is assigned to the corresponding position in the train position database.
[0030]
The station simulator 23 of the station c having a plurality of line sections receives the signal / point state from the A-line train operation management system 11 and the B-line train operation management system 12 as an event. Based on this state, the train position in the simulated range of the station c simulator 23 is simulated, and the train position is transmitted to the train operation management system under its control according to the train position.
[0031]
Further, the station simulator 23 notifies the station simulator 22 of the adjacent station when the train has advanced into the simulator range of the adjacent station based on the simulation result. Then, when a train entry is received from the station simulator 22 of the adjacent station, the train on-line is assigned to the corresponding position in the on-line train database. Here, if the train that has advanced to the adjacent station is originally a train on the B line, it means that the line crossing to the A line is being performed at the same time as the crossing between the stations, and the line crossing is equivalent to the crossing between the stations. It can be realized by handling.
[0032]
The train location information transmitted from each station simulator is comprehensively determined by the train operation management system, and the signal / point state is controlled so as not to cause a collision between trains. Then, each simulator simulates the train based on the signal / point state, so that the simulation of the train continues.
[0033]
FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the driving training simulation device. The driving training simulation device 40 simulates the movement of one train across stations and line sections. The signal state 401 inputs the state of the traffic light output by the train operation management system 10, and the point state 402 inputs the direction of the switchboard output by the train operation management system 10. The vehicle performance 403 stores the acceleration / deceleration characteristics of the vehicle simulated by the driving training simulation device 40, and the route data 404 stores the line gradient and the curvature of the curve within the range required for the simulation. The train position information 405 holds the current on-line position of the simulated train with an accuracy that does not hinder operation training, and the train speed information 406 holds the current speed of this train. The acceleration / deceleration notch state 407 holds the current state of the brake and acceleration notches operated by the driver. The speed / railing position calculating function 408 updates the speed / railing position of the train stored in the train position information at a cycle that does not hinder the training based on the data of these 401 to 407.
[0034]
The train position information 409 periodically notifies the train operation management system 10 of the train position, which is the position information of the track circuit. However, the specification of the train operation management system for transmitting the train position is determined from the train position information 405. As a result, a train that could only be trained on a line segment basis up to now can be continuously trained over the entire train operation range even for a train that straddles a line segment.
[0035]
FIG. 7 shows a processing flow of the speed / on-rail position calculation function. The speed / railway position calculation function 408 first stores train position information and train speed information of the simulated train in the databases 405 and 406 (s201). Normally, the current information of the corresponding train is received from the station simulator 20. Next, the current acceleration / deceleration is acquired from the acceleration / deceleration notch state 407 by the driver (s202).
[0036]
The operation state based on the obtained acceleration / deceleration is calculated as follows. The train position information 405, train speed information 406, vehicle performance 403, and train position information 405, train speed information 406, It is calculated from the data 404 and the point state 402 (s203). The calculated train position is stored in the train position information 405, and the train speed is stored in the train speed information 406 (s204).
[0037]
Next, the train operation management system that determines and manages the line section of the train from the calculated train position is determined (s205), and the train position information is transmitted to the system (s206). After the above procedure is completed, the process returns to s202 again and repeats the same procedure.
[0038]
The landscape display function 410 holds image data within a range for performing a simulation. Selecting the image data to be displayed according to the position from the train position information 405, adjusting the speed of reproducing the image from the train speed information 406, selecting the image to be displayed in the signal portion of the image data from the signal state 401, Simulate the scenery that the driver can see.
[0039]
Further, the train that is simulated by the driving training simulation device 40 does not need to be simulated by the station simulator 20. Therefore, at the time of starting operation by the driving training simulation device 40, the simulation of the train is stopped by deleting the train from the on-rail position database 205 and the train speed database 206 of the station simulator 20 where the train currently exists.
[0040]
When the training by the driving training simulation device 40 is stopped, it is possible to return to the simulation. That is, when returning to the simulation by the station simulator again, it is possible to store the on-line position information 405 and the train speed information 406 in the on-line position database 205 and the train speed database 206 of the station simulator 20.
[0041]
In the driving training simulation device 40, a driver's cab, a model of a full-size vehicle, etc. are installed, and it is possible to incline the driver itself in up, down, left, right, and diagonal directions. It is possible to perform driving training while doing so.
[0042]
As described above, as in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the station simulator 20 simulates a train on a line within a range under its control, and the driving training simulation device starts the movement of only the own train from the beginning. Supports all line divisions until the end. Each device receives the signal / point status from the train operation management system and transmits only the train location to the train operation management system.
[0043]
This makes it possible for the train operation management system to exchange information that is no different from the actual operation in the train operation related, and to conduct train operation change training such as train schedule change, train deterrence, etc. Train driving training is also possible. Further, by changing the data of the vehicle performance 203 of a certain train, it is possible to arbitrarily create a train that does not move at all, and to train a commander and a driver when a broken train occurs.
[0044]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is an overall configuration diagram of a train operation comprehensive training apparatus including a station operation type train operation management system. Line A and Line B are station-dispersed train operation management systems, and Line C is a centralized train operation management system. The station distribution type A-line train operation management system includes a central system 71 and station systems 61 to 63. Similarly, the station distribution type B-line train operation management system includes a central system 72 and station systems 64 to 66. The station simulators 21 to 24 are connected to the same station as the station systems 61 to 64, and transmit the train location positions of the simulation results to the station system. The station simulator 29 covers the simulators of the e-station and the f-station by one, and is connected to the e-station system 65 and the f-station system 66. Since the C-line train operation management system is a centralized type, the configurations of the station simulator and the train operation management system are the same as those in FIG.
[0045]
Here, the training network 54 is connected between each of the station simulators 21 to 24, 27 to 29 and the driving training device 41 to 44, and the transmission of the signal / point state from the train operation management system to the driving training device is performed through the station simulator. . The transmission of the train position from the operation training device to the train operation management system is also performed through the station simulator. In this way, each station simulator adds only the function of transmitting the received data to the network on the opposite side.
[0046]
According to this, even in the case of the station operation type train operation management system, the operation training device transmits the train location to the central system via the station simulator that simulates the range where the train is currently located. It becomes possible.
[0047]
When the station a is no longer necessary as the training execution range, the station a simulator can be stopped and the training can be performed. Conversely, when a new x station becomes the training range, the x station simulator can be used. By adding, training including x station is possible. That is, by preparing only a simulator within a range in which training is desired, training becomes possible, and the device configuration becomes easy.
[0048]
Here, as an example of the integration of the station simulator, only the integration of the two stations of the e station and the f station is shown. If the station alignment is small, it is possible to integrate three or more stations, and this can also be integrated in a station simulator connected to a centralized train operation management system.
[0049]
As a training embodiment, in addition to the training of the dispatcher and the driver at the time of the centralized system, it is possible to simultaneously carry out the terminal handling training of the station system by the station staff peculiar to the station distribution system.
[0050]

Further, in the train operation management system of the station distribution type, there is an effect that joint training of a dispatcher, a driver, and the like can be performed.
