Description

  The present invention relates to a railway operation management technique, and more particularly to an operation / operation control status display system and method in which a train operation status and operation control status at an arbitrary time and position are easily monitored and displayed.

  In the case of trains, if there is a delay in train operation due to weather or accidents, the train may not be operated as originally planned. In such an operation management system for railways, in such a case, the re-planning operation (operation arrangement) of train operation is carried out on the operation plan (operation arrangement) screen. Equipment layout and control conditions must be considered. If such consideration is neglected, not only will the train not be operated according to the re-planned operation plan, but another new operation delay may occur.

  For example, assuming that a certain two trains travel along routes that are in a troubled relationship with each other, when both trains reach a point that interferes in the same time period, one of the trains passes through the point where it interferes. Until this is done, the other train will have to stop before the trouble. Due to the characteristics of trains, it takes time to decelerate and accelerate, so if they are re-planned to pass without stopping, they will be delayed from the plan. . If such an operation delay occurs or the influence of the operation affects other operations, the delay does not converge early, and it takes a lot of time to return the train to normal operation. Will be.

  Incidentally, in Patent Document 1, the target station and time zone are designated on the diagram (first display), the train operation status and the operation control status are monitored, and the control screen (second display) is displayed. By specifying the time on the second display, the train operation status and the operation control status in a certain time section are displayed. More specifically, a certain time zone and a certain position direction range on the operation plan (diagram) display (window) are rectangular (on the diagram, the X direction is the time direction range, the Y direction is the position in the station premises or between stations, etc. Specified in the direction range), the train operation status and operation control status in the time zone and position direction range are monitored, and the control status information is created and displayed as a separate display (window) ing. Monitoring of the train's operation control status, etc., and display of the control status are provided in the form of a video, the display is changed in time series according to a timer, or a slider indicating the time is provided, and the desired time can be set by operating the slider By being specified, the operation status of the train and the operation control status in the time section are monitored and the control status is displayed. When the displayed time zone or range is changed, the currently displayed train operation status and operation control status display is erased (the window is closed), and again a certain time on the operation plan. A band and a certain position direction range are designated by rectangles, and display of train operation status and operation control status is instructed.

In Patent Document 2, a diagram (first display), a train operation status and operation control status are monitored, and a control screen (second display) is displayed. The objects on the second display and the first display corresponding to the instruction operations are echoed. Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, a diagram (first display), a train operation status and operation control status monitoring, and a control screen (second display) are displayed side by side on one screen. More specifically, in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the train operation status and operation control status are monitored and the control information is displayed in a fragmentary manner at the current time or at a certain time in the operation plan, not at an arbitrary time. It has been broken.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-123914 JP-A-9-237173 JP-A-9-132144

  However, when the displayed time zone or the displayed range is changed, if a certain time zone and a certain range in the operation plan are designated again, a display instruction is given. , Operation to specify the range of time zone and position direction on the operation plan (change the designation), operation to monitor the train operation status and operation control status and display the control status (change the display) There is no continuity, and a problem occurs. That is, on the display of train operation status and operation control status, the position direction range you want to see is displayed sequentially and continuously changed, or the time zone you want to see is displayed sequentially and continuously changed, Furthermore, it is impossible to display the display range by changing sequentially and continuously. In addition, if the train operation status and operation control status are monitored at the current time or at a certain time in the operation plan, and the control information is displayed in pieces, the train operation status at any time and It is not possible to monitor the operation control status and display the control status, and not only know the process up to the occurrence of the problem event and the timing of the occurrence of the event, but also the movement after the event occurred. It is like that. That is, until now, it is impossible to monitor train operation status and operation control status and display control status so as to sequentially correspond to the instruction operation on the operation plan display. It was what it was.

  The object of the present invention is to respond to the indicated position as a point on the operation plan display, and at least one of the train operation status and the operation control status corresponding to the operation plan is interactively operated. It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation / operation control status display system and method which can be easily displayed by reference.

  The operation / operation control status display system according to the present invention is compatible with an operation plan, and at least one of the train operation status and the operation control status is indicated as status information by an indicator on the operation plan display. A storage device that can be displayed in accordance with the position, stores operation plan information in advance, and updates and stores current status information from the outside corresponding to the time and position on the operation plan as actual information An instruction input device that generates instruction operation information including an instruction position, an operation plan display information creation device that creates operation plan display information based on the operation plan information as a display target from the storage device, and the instruction Each time the designated position is inputted as updatable from the input device, the indicator display information displayed at the designated position is created, and the operation plan information corresponding to the designated position is displayed. After acquiring from the operation plan display information creation device, based on the operation plan information, after searching for the corresponding situation information from the actual result information, the situation display information creation device that creates the situation display information, and the operation plan display information On the operation plan display screen on which the operation plan display information from the creation device is displayed, the indicator display information from the situation display information creation device and a display device for displaying the situation display information are included. It was made to do.

  In addition, the operation / operation control status display method according to the present invention is an indicator on the operation plan display, in which at least one of the operation status and the operation control status of the train corresponding to the operation plan is the status information. It is possible to display it according to the indicated position by the operation plan, the operation plan is stored in advance, and the current status information corresponding to the time and position on the operation plan is updated and stored as performance information. Each time the position and time on the plan display screen are instructed to be updatable by an indicator that can change the indicated position, based on the operation plan information corresponding to the indicated position, the corresponding situation information is obtained from the above-mentioned performance information. After being searched, it is displayed on the display screen.

  In response to the indicated position as a point on the operation plan display, at least one of the train operation status and operation control status corresponding to the operation plan can be interactively displayed as a reference for easy operation. A system / method for displaying the operation / operation control status is provided.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 22. Prior to the description, terms used in the description will be outlined in order to facilitate understanding of the following description. Then, it is as follows.
Train operation plan: For example, line district, train number, enforcement date (operation date for temporary trains, freight trains, etc.), departure time, arrival time, passage time, departure station, arrival station, passage station, departure number line, arrival number line, A train number that uniquely defines the train schedule, such as a transit line.
Train operation plan display: For example, a train operation plan is graphically displayed on a display by a computer using a diagram, chart, graph, or the like.
Train operation status: For example, time and train number, housed station number, falling track circuit number, stepping control point number, housed row number, housed The one that uniquely defines the position of the train by the number of the line.

Train operation status display: “Train operation status” is displayed on a display by a computer, such as a linear diagram imitating the shape of a track.
Train operation control status: For example, the time, the number of the controlled station, the number of the controlled traffic signal, the number of the controlled switch (point), the number of the reserved route, the starting point / arrival of the route This is something that uniquely defines the situation where the train is controlled by the number of points.
Train operation control status display: “Train operation control status” is expressed graphically on a display by a computer such as a linear diagram imitating the shape of a track.
Instruction operation: For example, by using a mouse, touch panel, pen tablet, keyboard, joystick, etc., by moving the pointer, moving the focus, clicking, double-clicking, dragging, pressing a key, etc. This is an operation that uniquely defines a position on a display or an object on display.

Indicator: Refers to a graphic display to indicate the position or object where the “instruction operation” is actually performed on what is graphically represented on the display.
Position or range in the operation plan: For example, the number of the line representing the station in the train schedule display, the station name attached to the line, the position of the line representing the station, the position between the lines representing the station, or the range , The number of the line representing the number, the name of the number attached to the line representing the number, the position of the line representing the number, etc., on the "operation plan display", uniquely representing the station, station number, and the position between stations Say.
Time in the operation plan: For example, the number of the line representing the time in the train schedule display, the time number attached to the line representing the time, the position of the line representing the time, the position between the lines representing the time, etc. This means something that uniquely represents the time on the “operation plan display”.

  Now, the present invention will be described in detail. First, an outline of a method for displaying train operation status or operation control status according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a display 110 as an operation plan diagram is displayed on the display 100, and the position and time are indicated on the operation plan display 110. Are displayed, and the train operation status and operation control status display 120 and 140 are displayed in accordance with the indicated positions of the indicators 130 and 150, respectively. However, when the displays 120 and 140 are performed, only one of the train operation status and the operation control status may be displayed as necessary.

  More specifically, on the operation plan display 110, the left-right direction represents the time and the up-down direction represents the position. As shown in FIG. Assume that the train operation status and operation control status display 120 according to the position is displayed. In this state, if the indicator 130 is moved rightward on the station line indicating the station B, and finally moved to the position of the indicator 150 as shown in FIG. During the movement, the time that is the indication position of the indicator 130 is sequentially updated. In accordance with this update, the content of the display 120 is also sequentially updated and finally moved to the position of the indicator 150. At the time, the train operation status and operation control status display 140 according to the indicated position of the indicator 150 is displayed.

  On the contrary, if the indicator 150 is moved to the left and finally moved to the position of the indicator 130, the time that is the indication position of the indicator 150 is sequentially updated during the movement. However, in response to this update, the contents of the display 140 are also updated sequentially and finally moved to the position of the indicator 130, and the train operation status according to the indicated position of the indicator 130. In addition, the operation control status display 120 is performed. Such a situation is the same when the indicator 130 is moved on the station line indicating the station A. By the way, in this example, the size of each area of the display 120, 140 is fixed, but as will be described later, the train operation status and the operation control status are enlarged / reduced display in that area, The size of the area itself can be changed.

  As described above, since the train operation status and the operation control status are monitored and displayed in response to the instruction operation on the operation plan display 110, the train operation status and operation corresponding to the operation plan are performed. The control status can be referred to as interactive and easy to operate. The time or position indicated position unit corresponds to the display resolution of the operation plan display 110 such as a time line or a station line in the operation diagram display, and may be discrete. In that case, the correspondence between the operation plan, the train operation status, and the operation control status can be clarified according to the display resolution. However, the indicated position unit of time may be continuous within the range of resolution on the display. In this case, the display contents of the corresponding train operation status and operation control status are continuous and rich in fine changes. It can be displayed as a dynamic video.

  By the way, on the operation plan display 110, the operation plan itself can be changed. When the operation plan is changed, the operation status of the train is displayed on the operation plan display 110 while the change work is being performed. And it can be said that it is desirable to keep the operation control status in a non-display state. FIGS. 2A and 2B show an outline of a method that enables the train operation status and operation control status to be displayed only while a prescribed operation is being performed. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, an input device 510 for inputting an instruction operation to the operation plan display 110 and other input devices 520 are arranged around the display display 100. Normally, as shown in FIG. 2A, the input device 520 is placed in a state where the unspecified operation state 530 is entered. Under this non-regulated operation state 530, the train operation status and operation control status display 120 is not performed, and instead of the indicator 130, the indicator 500 when the display 120 is not performed is displayed. For the operation plan display 110 by the input device 510, an instruction operation for changing the operation plan can be performed (non-display state).

  However, when the input device 520 is shifted from the unspecified operation state 530 to the specified operation state 540 as shown in FIG. 2B, the train operation status and operation control status display 120 can be displayed. In addition, the display of the indicator is changed from the indicator 500 to the indicator 130 (display state). Thereby, the position of the indicator 130 can be operated on the operation plan display 110 by the input device 510, and the train operation status and the operation control status according to the indicated position on the operation plan display 110 can be displayed. The In such a state, if the input device 520 is shifted from the specified operation state 540 to the non-specified operation state 530 as necessary, the train operation status and operation control status display 120 is not performed, and By changing the indicator display from the indicator 130 to the indicator 500, the operation plan display 110 can be instructed by the input device 510 for the operation plan change.

  More specifically, for example, if the input device 510 is a mouse and the input device 520 is a keyboard, the unspecified operation state 530 is, for example, a state in which the Shift key on the keyboard is not pressed, or a specified operation state. Reference numeral 540 can correspond to a state in which the Shift key is pressed. Normally, the Shift key is not pressed, but in this state, the train operation status and the operation control status are not displayed, and an instruction operation for changing the operation plan with the mouse on the operation plan display 110 is performed. Is implemented. On the other hand, while the Shift key is being pressed, the train operation status and operation control status can be displayed, and each time the indicator 130 is moved to a desired position by the mouse on the operation plan display 110, the desired status is displayed. By displaying the train operation status and the operation control status according to the position, it is possible to check the status. In this state, if the Shift key is released, the operation plan display 110 can be operated to change the operation plan with the mouse by returning to the state where the Shift key is not pressed. It will be placed in.

  Note that the unspecified operation state 530 and the specified operation state 540 on the input device 520 may be realized as states on the input device 510. For example, the input device 510 may be a mouse, and the unspecified operation state 530 and the specified operation state 540 may correspond to the non-pressed state and pressed state of the right button of the mouse. In this case, both the train operation status and the operation control status display / non-display switching and the operation of the indicated position as the display target of the train operation status and the operation control status are both performed by a single input means. Can be implemented. However, the non-specified operation state 530 and the specified operation state 540 do not necessarily have to be accompanied by an active operation operation as long as the state can be maintained. For example, each time the Shift key is pressed, the unspecified operation state 530 and the specified operation state 540 may be switched so as to appear alternately.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B show an input device 510 arranged for each of FIGS. 1A and 1B. As described above, the positions of the indicators 130 and 150 can be moved to the desired positions by the input device 510, and the indicators 130 and 150 are in the positions as shown in the figure. The train operation status and operation control status at station B are shown as displays 120 and 140, respectively. The contents of these displays 120 and 140 will be described in detail as follows.

  That is, on the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. 4A, operation plan displays 700, 710, and 720 for three different trains are shown. Of these, the train related to the display 700 is actually It is in a state where it is traveling from the station A to the station B, and the train according to the display 710 is in a standby state at the station B so as to be turned back toward the station A, and further according to the display 720. It can be seen that the train is in a state where it is actually traveling toward the station B (after that, it is scheduled to travel toward the station A after being temporarily put into a standby state at the station B). In this case, the train operation status and the operation control status at the station B are shown as display 120 contents, and an enlarged display of the display 120 contents is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, since the train according to the display 700 is running near the station B, the existing line position is shown as the existing line position display 730. Further, since the train according to the display 710 is in a standby state at the station B, the existing line position is shown as the existing line position display 770. Further, although the train according to the display 720 is in the middle of traveling to the station B, it is still far from the station B, so that the current line position is shown as the current line position display 795.

  Incidentally, in FIG. 4B, 760 is a display indicating the course control status (track securing state) for the train according to the display 700, and 790 is the course control status (track securing state) for the train according to the display 720. ) Is displayed. Further, 740 and 750 are displays indicating the control status of traffic lights corresponding to the route control status 760 for the train according to the display 700, and similarly, 780 is a traffic signal corresponding to the route control status 790 for the train according to the display 720. The display showing the control status of Furthermore, the traffic signal itself is displayed as a circle, and if the inside thereof is in a hatched display state, it indicates that it is in a blue lighting state, but this situation is the same in the following description. .

  Also, assuming that the indicator 130 shown in FIG. 4 (A) is slightly moved to the right is the indicator 2210, FIG. 5 (A) shows the train operation status according to the indicated position of the indicator 2210. And the display 2200 of operation control status is shown. Although the enlarged display of the display 2200 is shown as FIG. 5B, since the train according to the display 700 is immediately after passing through the station B, the existing line position is shown as the existing line display 2230. ing. Further, the train related to the display 710 is directed to the station A, as can be seen from the display 2250 indicating the route control status (route secured state) and the display 2270 indicating the control status of the traffic light corresponding to the route control status 2250. However, the standing line position is shown as a standing line display 770 since it is still in the standby state. Furthermore, since the train according to the display 720 is approaching the station B from the display 2260 indicating the course control status (the course secured state), it can be seen that the existing line position is shown as the existing line display 2240. .

  Further, assuming that the indicator 2210 shown in FIG. 5 (A) is slightly moved to the right is the indicator 150, FIG. 6 (A) shows the train operation status according to the indicated position of the indicator 150. And an operation control status display 140. An enlarged display of the display 140 is shown in FIG. 6B. From this point, since the train according to the display 700 has passed a station B, a considerable time has passed. Is shown as a standing line display 820. In addition, the train according to the display 710 is immediately after the departure from the station B toward the station A, as can be seen from the display 810 indicating the route control status (the route secured state), and therefore the current line position is the current line display 800. Is shown as Furthermore, since the train according to the display 720 is about to stop at the station B, it can be seen that the current line position is indicated as the current line display 830.

  After all, on the operation plan display 110, the indicator 130 is changed from the position to the position of the indicator 2210 by the input device 510, and further to the position of the indicator 150. It can be seen that the operation status and the operation control status are also changed from the display 120 to the display 2200 and further to the display 140. Since the contents of these displays 120, 2200, and 140 include an on-line display corresponding to the train as the operation status, the train according to the display 700 is traveling on the track from the station A to the station B, and is simply Is moving from left to right. Moreover, although the train which concerns on the display 710 is put on a standby state on the evacuation track of the station B for a while, after that, it is moved on the track to the station A. Furthermore, the train according to the display 720 travels from the opposite side to the station A toward the station B. In addition, as the contents of the displays 120, 2200, and 140, the route control status and traffic signal status corresponding to the train are also shown as the operation control status, and the operation status and operation of the train according to the change of the indication position by the indicator The control status can be displayed. In other words, on the operation plan display, the operation status and the operation control status of the train are displayed in a time series by the operation from the input device 510, or displayed back in time series, or the train operation. Monitoring display of the situation and operation control situation can be performed interactively.

  By the way, in the above explanation, the indicator can be moved only on the station line, but it can also be moved to an intermediate position between one station line and another station line. Yes. FIG. 7A, which is substantially the same as FIG. 4A described above, corresponds to the indicator 130 when the indicator 130 is located on the station line indicating the station B. The train operation status and operation control status display (an enlarged display of this is shown in FIG. 8A) 120 is performed. As long as the indicator 130 is moved on the station line, the station B is displayed. A central display 120 is performed. However, the position of the indicator 130 by the input device 510 is the position of the indicator 900, that is, the position between the station A and the station B as shown in FIG. If it is moved to a position closer to B, the train operation status and operation control status display (enlarged display of this is shown in FIG. 8B) 910 centered on that position is performed. Yes. In contrast to the indicator 130, the indicator 900 has the same time position, but the physical position is slightly closer to the station A. Therefore, the display 910 is displayed closer to the station A than the display 120. Will be. In this way, the indicator is not necessarily located only on the station line indicating the station on the operation plan display, but can be moved to an intermediate position between one station line and another station line. Therefore, it is possible to interactively display the train operation status and the operation control status according to the position in a state where it can be moved to any desired position on the operation plan display.

  In the above description, a display area of a certain size is set on the display display 100, except when the train operation status and the operation control status are displayed on a display display different from the display display 00. The train operation status and the operation control status are displayed on this display area. In the display area, the train operation status and the operation control status are displayed as variable display ranges, that is, enlarged / reduced display, Alternatively, as will be described later, the size of the display area itself is variable, and the operation status and operation control status of the train can be displayed as fixed display ranges. To explain this, in FIG. 9A, the train operation status and operation control status display 120 according to the indication position of the indicator 130 is normally performed, and the enlarged display state is shown in FIG. Shown as (A). Here, assuming that the indicator 130 itself can be changed in shape, size, etc., for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, if the indicator 130 is changed to the indicator 1100 having the same indicated position, this indicator A display 1110 corresponding to 1100 is displayed.

  In the case of this example, in the display 120, the indicator 130 occupies a wide range in the position direction around the line indicating the station B on the operation plan display 110. The operation status and operation control status in a wide range are reduced and displayed in the horizontal direction. However, in the case of using the indicator 1100 whose length in the position direction is shorter than that of the indicator 130, it occupies a narrow range in the position direction around the line indicating the station B on the operation plan display 110. Accordingly, as shown in the enlarged display state of the display 1110 in FIG. 10B, the operation status and the operation control status in a narrow range in the track direction centered on the station B are enlarged and displayed. ing. More specifically, the display 1110 has fewer display elements in the track direction than the display 120. In the display 120, for example, the displays 1210 and 1220 indicating traffic lights are round. In the display 1110, the displays 1240 and 1250 indicating the traffic lights are displayed in an elliptical state. In addition, in the display 120, the display 1230 indicating the route control status (the route secured state) occupies most of the track direction, whereas the display 1260 corresponding to that in the display 1110 displays all of the track direction. Is displayed to expand. In this way, in this example, the size of the display area is fixed, and the display whose scale can be changed only in the track direction is performed, but the train operation status according to the position direction length by the indicator and The operation control status can be displayed not only in the track direction but also in the vertical direction so that the scale can be changed.

  On the other hand, apart from the display of the operation status and the operation control status as described above, the size of the display area itself is made variable, for example, in proportion to the length of the indicator in the direction of the direction, and the operation is performed on the display area. It is also possible to enlarge or reduce the entire situation and operation control situation. For example, in the case of the indicator 130, the operation status and the operation control status are displayed in the normal size display area. The operation status and the operation control status are enlarged and displayed on the display area in which the size is increased in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. Thereby, if the length of the indicator in the position direction changes, the entire train operation status and operation control status are displayed in an enlarged or reduced manner. In this way, when the display area is variable in size, it is generally possible to display the entire operation status and operation control status in an enlarged / reduced manner, and in particular, there are many tracks in the station premises. In such a case, the situation is more easily grasped by being enlarged and displayed.

  As a method for changing the length of the indicator in the position direction, for example, when the input device 510 is a mouse with a wheel, the shape of the indicator, that is, the length in the position direction is changed according to the rotation of the wheel. It is possible. For example, in the case of forward rotation, the length in the position direction may be extended, and in the case of post rotation, the length in the position direction may be shortened. Thus, the length in the position direction is also changed by the mouse used when the indication position of the indicator is changed. On the other hand, in addition to the above, assuming that the input device 520 is a keyboard, it is also possible to change the length in the direction of the indicator in response to pressing of the cursor arrow keys “↑”, “↓”, etc. on the keyboard. It is done. Thus, for example, if “↑” is pressed, the length in the position direction is extended, and if “↓” is pressed, the length in the position direction is shortened. Good.

  As described above, it is possible to display the train operation status and the operation control status according to the indicated position of the indicator on the operation plan display in various modes. It is also conceivable to display the train operation status and the operation control status according to the comparison result with (time). If such a display is demonstrated, the display 1300 which shows the present time as a regulation time will be displayed in the position which shows the same position and time on the operation plan display 110 shown to each of FIG. 11 (A)-(C). However, when the indicators 1310, 1330, and 1350 are positioned before and after the specified time and on the specified time, how the train operation status and operation control status are displayed is displayed 1320 and 1340. , 1360. As shown in the figure, on the operation plan display 110, operation plans 1370, 1380, and 1390 for the trains 1 to 3, respectively, are displayed. Therefore, the contents of the displays 1320, 1340, and 1360 are the trains 1 to 1, respectively. The operation status and operation control status for each of the three. In addition, the enlarged display states of the displays 1320, 1340, and 1360 are shown in FIGS. Incidentally, in FIGS. 12A to 12C, 1405, 1410, 1420, 1450, and 1460 are indications of the positions of trains 1 to 3 on the track, and 1415, 1425, 1445, 1455, and 1465 are on the track. , 1400, 1401, 1430, and 1440 respectively indicate blue light-on displays of traffic lights.

Here, if the time advances from the left side to the right side on the operation plan display 110 (the time is forward when it is located on the left side and the time is later when it is located on the right side), the train operation state according to the indicator 1310 And the operation control status display 1320 before the current time, the train operation status and operation control status display 1340 corresponding to the indicator 1330 is the current time, and the indicator 1350. Accordingly, the train operation status and operation control status display 1360 corresponding to each of the trains indicates the items after the current time. The contents of the operation plans 1370, 1380, and 1390 for the trains 1 to 3 are as follows.
Train 1: Travel from station A to station B (pass through station B)
Train 2: Travel from station B to station A (turn back at station B)
Train 3: Drive to station A after being put on standby at station B

On the other hand, on the train operation status and operation control status displays 1320, 1340, and 1360, trains 1 to 3 are operated as follows based on the operation plans 1370, 1380, and 1390, respectively.
Train 1: Middle stage (horizontal line 2nd stage) From left to middle stage (horizontal line 2nd stage) to right (following route 1415 from the position of existing line position display 1405)
Train 2: Upper stage (horizontal line 1st stage) from center to middle stage (horizontal line 3rd stage) to the left (follow routes 1445 and 1455 from the position of existing line position display 1410)
Train 3: Middle stage (horizontal line 3rd stage) from right to middle stage (horizontal line 3rd stage) left (following routes 1425 and 1465 from the position of the existing line position display 1420)

Here, in the case of FIG. 11A, the indicator 1310 indicates a time prior to the current time display 1300, and therefore, the display 1320 is performed based on the traveling performance corresponding to the time. In this case, in relation to train 1,
・ In-line position display 1405 before passing through station B (service status)
・ Route display 1415 for passing through station B (operation control status)
・ Blue lights 1400 and 1401 for traffic lights for passing through station B (operation control status)
Will be performed respectively.

In the case of FIG. 11B, since the indicator 1330 indicates the same time as the current time display 1300, the display 1340 is performed based on the current state. In this case, in relation to train 2,
・ Presentation position display 1410 (departure status) before leaving station B
・ Course display 1445 for departure from station B (operation control status)
-Blue light display 1440 of traffic lights for departure from station B (operation control status)
Will be performed respectively. In connection with train 3,
・ Presentation position display 1420 before arriving at station B (operation status)
・ Route display 1425 for arriving at station B (operation control status)
・ Blue light display 1430 for traffic lights to arrive at station B (operation control status)
Will be performed respectively.

Further, in the case of FIG. 11C, since the indicator 1350 indicates a time after the current time display 1300, the display 1360 is performed based on the prediction result. In this case, in relation to train 2,
・ In-line position display 1450 after departure from station B (service status)
・ Route display 1455 (operation control status) for departure from station B
Each is done. In relation to train 3,
・ In-line position display 1460 before arriving at station B (service status)
・ Route indication 1465 (operation control situation) to arrive at station B
Each is done.
As described above, the operation status and operation control status of the train based on the actual result, current status, or prediction result according to the time can be changed by moving the indicated position of the indicator back and forth with respect to the specified time. An environment that can be referred interactively and continuously without interruption is realized.

  By the way, in the above description, the indicator is not necessarily located only on the station line indicating the station, but can be moved to an intermediate position between one station line and another station line. It is possible to display the train operation status and the operation control status according to the position. However, even if it is so, it can be said that it is not preferable to move to a meaningless position and display the situation according to the position. Rather, even when the indicator is moved to a meaningful position, it can be said that it is desirable to be surely guided to that position even if it is moved in the vicinity of that position. 13A and 13B show a method for guiding the positioning of the indicator. First, as shown in FIG. 13A, on the operation plan display 110, the indicator 130 is moved to a position 2000 slightly deviated from the position in order to move the indicator 130 to another position on the station line 2012. If so, the indicator 130 is guided to the position 2010 on the nearest station line 2012 from the positional relationship between the station lines 2011, 2012 and the position 2000, and is actually indicated at the position 2010. The display as a child is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, if the indicator 130 is guided to the time line in units of 10 minutes on the operation plan display 110 and the indicator 130 is moved to the position 2030, the time line 2021 is obtained. , 2022 and the position 2030 are guided on the time line 2021 having a shorter distance, and display as an indicator is performed on the time line 2021. As a result, for the pointing operation, the indicator is guided according to the prescribed guidance policy, so that the change operation can be performed only at the prescribed position interval and time interval with respect to the arbitrary manipulation for the indicator, and guided. The train operation status and operation control status corresponding to the selected position will be displayed. Note that switching whether or not to guide the indicator is performed, for example, while the specified operation is performed on the input device 520 illustrated in FIG. 2, but the specified operation is not performed. However, it is possible to implement such as not guiding the indicator. Specifically, for example, if the input device 520 is a keyboard, the indicator is guided while a predetermined key (for example, Shift key) is being pressed, and if the key is not pressed, an instruction is given. The indicator may be switched between guidance and non-guidance so that the child is not guided.

  By the way, in the figure described above, when the train operation status and the operation control status are displayed, the display position is a display area that is fixedly set in the upper right part on the operation plan display 110. However, if the indicator is moved to the inside of the display area or in the vicinity thereof, a problem occurs. If at least a part of the indicator is displayed on the status display, the situation may be difficult to grasp because of the display, and conversely, at least a part of the indicator is displayed. This is because the indicated position or the like becomes unclear if it is not done. Therefore, in such a case, the display area for displaying the status is variable so that the position of the indicator is not located inside or in the vicinity of the indicator area, and is always away from the position of the indicator. It can be said that it is desirable to set a new one. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, the train operation status and operation control status display 120 according to the position of the indicator 130 is normally performed (the status display is not shown). Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (B), assuming that the indicator 130 is moved in the upper right direction and is positioned as a new indicator 2310, the operation status of the train according to the indicator 2310 The operation control status is such that the display 2300 is performed at the newly set display position.

  As a method for obtaining the center positions of the displays 120 and 2300 according to the instruction positions of the indicators 130 and 2310, for example, the center point 2320 on the operation plan display 110 may be used. In this case, when the train operation status and operation control status display 120 according to the position of the indicator 130 is performed on the operation plan display 110, the center position of the indicator 130 and the center point 2320 are passed. It can be considered that the display 120 is performed such that a position on the straight line and at a certain distance r from the center position of the indicator 130 becomes the center position of the display area. Similarly, when the train operation status and operation control status display 2300 corresponding to the position of the indicator 2310 is displayed, it is on a straight line passing through the center position of the indicator 2310 and the center point 2320. The display 2300 may be displayed such that the position at a certain distance r from the center position of the indicator 2310 is the center position of the display area. When such a status display is performed, the operation status and operation control status of the train can be displayed on the operation plan display 110 without hiding the indication position of the indicator.

  By the way, when the indicated position is changed while the train operation status and operation control status are displayed, the display contents of the train operation status and operation control status are changed according to the change to the indicated position. As a matter of course, the display position for displaying the situation may be changed. In addition, when the train operation status and the operation control status are hidden / displayed, a display position for displaying the status according to the indication position of the indicator is obtained in advance while the train is in the non-display state. In this way, when the display is started, the train operation status and the operation control status are immediately displayed at the display position. However, when the display position for status display is changed according to the indication position of the indicator, assuming that the center point 2320 is the origin on the XY coordinates, the indication position of the indicator does not exist in the first quadrant. In the case where the status display is performed at the fixed display position in the first quadrant, and the designated position is in the first quadrant, other than the first quadrant, for example, at the fixed position in the third quadrant. It is also possible to display the status. In any case, the present invention is not limited to the above method, and the display area is variable in its position so that the position of the indicator is not included in the display area by an appropriate method. It is sufficient to set the position away from the position.

  The operation / operation control status display method has been described above. Next, the system will be described. FIG. 15 shows a schematic configuration of an example. As shown in FIG. 15, the operation / operation control status display system includes a display device 200, an instruction operation information acquisition device 210, an information storage device (storage device) 230, an operation plan information-display information correspondence device (operation plan display). Information creation device) 240, instruction operation information-operation status / operation control status information corresponding device (status display information creation device) 220, information input device (can be configured as part of device 220) 250, instruction input device ( (Not shown) and the like. Incidentally, in the figure, 205 is a status display information transmission path, 215 is an instruction operation information transmission path, 225 is a corresponding status information transmission path, 235 is an operation plan information transmission path, and 245 is an operation plan display information transmission path. Reference numeral 246 denotes an operation plan information transmission route, 255 denotes an existing situation information transmission route, 256 denotes an operation plan information transmission route, 257 denotes an existing situation information input route, and 258 denotes an operation plan information input route.

  First, operation plan information from outside the system is pre-stored in the information storage device 230 via the information input device 250. The information storage device 230 is also configured to update and store the current status information from the outside of the system corresponding to the time and position in the operation plan as performance information via the information input device 250. The operation plan information pre-stored in the information storage device 230 is also created as operation plan display information by the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240 and then transferred and displayed on the display device 200. That is, in the display device 200, the operation plan is displayed on the display screen, so that the display screen functions as an operation plan display screen.

  On the other hand, when the display / non-display setting information as the instruction operation information from the instruction input device indicates “display” (for example, the Shift key on the keyboard is pressed), the instruction operation is performed on the operation plan display screen. Is performed (for example, the mouse is moved to the intended position), the instruction operation information acquisition apparatus 210 has internal processing information for the indicated position on the operation plan display screen (for example, position coordinate information on the display screen). Is created and transferred to the instruction operation information-operation status / operation control status information correspondence device 220. Based on this instruction operation information, in the device 220, the operation plan information of the corresponding time and position is obtained from the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. Thereafter, the information is based on the obtained operation plan information. By searching the performance information on the storage device 230, the corresponding situation information is acquired. The acquired corresponding status information is created as status display information by the device 220 and then transferred and displayed on the display device 200, so that status display is performed on the operation plan display screen. Along with this status display, an indicator in the “display” state needs to be displayed at the indicated position on the operation plan display screen, but display information for this purpose is also generated by the device 220. Yes. Incidentally, in this example, since only the display device 200 is prepared as the display device, the status display is performed on the operation plan display screen, but the status display is performed on a display device other than the display device 200. Is also possible.

  As described above, in the display device 200, the situation display is performed together with the operation plan display. FIG. 2B shows an example of the operation plan display screen in this case. On the other hand, when the display / non-display setting information as the instruction operation information from the instruction input device indicates “non-display” (for example, the Shift key on the keyboard is not pressed), the instruction operation information acquisition device 210 When this is detected, no indication position is transferred to the device 220 on the operation plan display screen. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2A, the indicator in the “non-display” state is displayed. Is displayed (the display information for this is also created by the apparatus 220), and the status display is not performed on the operation plan display screen.

Here, it will be as follows if it explains supplementarily about the component of an operation / operation control status display system.
That is,
The display device 200 can be realized by, for example, a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or the like, and is configured to be able to display graphics. However, the display device 200 is not limited to a single display screen, and may be one in which a plurality of display screens are arranged physically apart from each other. In such a case, a certain display The operation plan and the indicator are displayed on the screen, and the status can be displayed on the other front screen.

  In the instruction operation information acquisition device 210, for example, instruction operation information including an instruction position generated by an instruction input device such as a mouse, a touch panel, a pen tablet, a keyboard, or a joystick is preprocessed. Is composed of, for example, an integrated circuit and drives various processing devices based on programming, data processing device, data comparison device, input device, output device, storage device (memory (RAM, ROM), magnetic storage device ( Floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk), magneto-optical storage device (MO), optical storage device (DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.) The designated position can be converted into information handled by internal processing, such as position coordinate information. However, the number of instruction input devices is not limited to one, and a plurality of instruction input devices may be considered. In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in the instruction operation information acquisition apparatus 210, instruction operation information generated by each of a plurality of instruction input devices (for example, a mouse and a keyboard) is simultaneously received. Will be configured to be processed.

  The information storage device 230 includes, for example, a memory (RAM, ROM), a magnetic storage device (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk), a magneto-optical storage device (MO), and an optical storage device (DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-). (RW, DVD + RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM) etc. At this time, the information storage device 230 may be composed of a plurality of storage media of different types, and if the storage capacity is sufficiently large, a part of the storage area is designated as the instruction operation information acquisition device 210. It may be used as a storage device.

  The instruction operation information-operation status information / operation control status information correspondence device 220 is configured by, for example, an integrated circuit and the like, and a processing device, a data processing device, a data comparison device, an input device, and an output device that drive various processing devices based on programming. , Storage device (memory (RAM, ROM), magnetic storage device (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk), magneto-optical storage device (MO), optical storage device (DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + RW) , CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.). Also in this case, if the storage capacity of the information storage device 230 is sufficiently large, a part of the storage area may be used as a storage device in the device 220. Further, the processing device, the data processing device, the data comparison device, the input device, and the output device may be shared with those in the instruction operation information acquisition device 210 by dividing the processing based on programming.

  The operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240 is configured by, for example, an integrated circuit, and is a processing device, a data processing device, a data comparison device, an input device, an output device, a storage device (memory (drive)) that drives various processing devices based on programming. RAM, ROM), magnetic storage device (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk), magneto-optical storage device (MO), optical storage device (DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + RW, CD-ROM, DVD) -ROM) etc.). When the storage capacity of the information storage device 230 is sufficiently large, a part of the storage area may be used as a storage device in the device 240, or a processing device, a data processing device, a data comparison device, an input device, an output The apparatus may be shared with that in the instruction operation information acquisition apparatus 210 by dividing processing based on programming.

  The information input device 250 functions to fetch and process operation plan information and current situation information generated by a local device, and is configured by, for example, an integrated circuit or the like, and is a processing device that drives various processing devices based on programming. Data processing device, data comparison device, input device, output device, storage device (memory (RAM, ROM), magnetic storage device (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk), magneto-optical storage device (MO), optical storage device ( DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.), etc., but information handled by internal processing (for example, ID indicating the location of the train, under control) A function that can be converted into an ID or the like indicating the traffic light of the traffic light.

Now, how the operation plan display, status display, and the like are performed will be described as follows.
That is, for example, according to the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. 1 (A), the range of station A to station B, 10:00 to 11:00 is displayed,
・ Time direction indication is “10:10” (corresponding horizontal coordinate is “X”)
-The direction indication is "Station B" (the corresponding vertical coordinate is "Y")
As shown in the display 120, a traffic signal display, a track circuit display, a route display, a standing line display, etc. are performed on the linear diagram, so that the train operation status or the operation control status is expressed. In order to perform these displays, first, in the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240, among the operation plan information stored in the information storage device 230,
・ "Station A-Station B"
・ "10:00 to 11:00"
The operation plan information included in the range is taken out from the information storage device 230 as a display target and converted into display information. By transferring this display information to the display device 200, the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. 1 is performed on the display device 200.

  On the other hand, in the instruction operation information acquisition device 210, information for internal processing that expresses coordinates (X, Y) is generated from the indicated position from the instruction input device, and this “coordinate (X, Y) is expressed. “Information” is transferred to the instruction operation information-operation status / operation control status information correspondence device 220. In the device 220, the “information expressing the coordinates (X, Y)” is transferred to the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. As a response, the device 220 responds from the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. “Information expressing time“ 10:10 ”” and “information expressing position“ station B ”” are received. Thereafter, the device 220 represents the operation status or the operation control status at the corresponding time and position based on “information expressing time“ 10:10 ”” and “information expressing position“ station B ””. As information, “information indicating a traffic signal display, a track circuit display, a course display, and a standing line display on a linear diagram” is received from the information storage device 230. In the device 220, based on the “information indicating the traffic signal display, track circuit display, route display, and on-line display on the linear diagram”, the “signal display on the linear diagram, track circuit display, the route display, and the on-line display are represented. The display information "is generated and transferred to the display device 200, so that the display device 200 displays the traffic signal display and the track circuit on the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. By performing display, route display, standing line display, etc., the operation status of the train or the operation control status is also displayed.

  As can be understood from the above description, the instruction operation information-operation status information / operation control status information correspondence device 220 is a core component, and an internal configuration in one example is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the operation status / operation control status for determining the operation status / operation control status display determination unit 300 for determining the display of the operation status of the train or the operation control status, the operation status of the train, or the operation control status. It is comprised so that the judgment part 310, the operation plan information acquisition part 330 which acquires the operation plan information of a train, the operation condition / operation control situation information acquisition part 340 which acquires the operation condition of a train, or the information of an operation control condition may be included. Yes.

  The internal operation will be described. When the operation status / operation control status determination unit 310 receives the instruction operation information via the route 215, the operation operation information acquisition unit 330 receives the instruction operation information (for example, display) via the route 315. The operation plan information (corresponding time and position) corresponding to the upper coordinates) is requested, and as a response to this request, the operation plan information related to the request is obtained through the route 315 as well. When the operation plan information is acquired, the determination unit 310 obtains information on train operation status or operation control status corresponding to the operation plan information (corresponding time and position) via the route 345. The situation information acquisition unit 340 is requested, but as a response to this request, information indicating the train operation status or the operation control status related to the request is acquired via the route 345 as well. If information representing the operation status / operation control status is acquired by the determination unit 310, this information is transferred to the operation status / operation control status display determination unit 300 via the route 305. In the determination unit 300, display information indicating the operation status / operation control status is generated based on the information indicating the operation status / operation control status from the determination unit 310, and then transferred to the display device 200 via the route 205. It has become.

  Furthermore, if the operation / operation control status display system provided with the switching function of results / present status / prediction is described, the outline configuration in one example is shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the difference from the one shown in FIG. 15 is that the instruction operation information-operation status information / operation control status information corresponding device 220 shown in FIG. In addition to the replacement with the corresponding device 2110, the specified time information and the current status information are newly input via the paths 2111 and 2105, respectively. The other circumstances are almost the same as those shown in FIG. It has become. In other words, the apparatus 2110 is distinguished from the apparatus 220 in that the apparatus 2110 is provided with a switching function of actual results / present conditions / predictions.

  Therefore, in the following description, if the apparatus 2110 is described as the center, when the instruction operation is performed on the operation plan display, the operation plan information is acquired from the operation plan information-display information correspondence apparatus 240 via the route 246. The processing up to this is the same as that of the device 220. However, after that, in the device 2110, a comparison with a specified time (for example, current time) is performed based on the acquired operation plan information, and the specified time is before the specified time, the specified time, or the specified time. Which of the following is determined is determined. In this determination, if it is determined that the time is before the specified time, the corresponding situation information corresponding to the instructed time is acquired from the record information on the information storage device 230 and then converted into display information. And transferred to the display device 200. Further, if it is determined that the instructed time is after the specified time, the result information for a predetermined time period before the specified time is acquired from the information storage device 230, and then the instruction is made based on the result information. The situation at the scheduled time is predicted. This prediction information is obtained as corresponding situation information, and is transferred to the display device 200 as a state converted into display information. Furthermore, when it is determined that the instructed time is the specified time, display information is created based on the current status information acquired via the route 2105 and is transferred to the display device 200. It has become. In any case, the display device 200 displays the corresponding situation together with the operation plan display.

Now, how the operation plan display, status display, etc. are performed will be described. For example, according to the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. The 11 o'clock range is displayed, and the specified time is 10:16,
・ Time direction indication is “10:10” (corresponding horizontal coordinate is “X1”)
-The direction indication is "Station B" (the corresponding vertical coordinate is "Y1")
As shown in the display 1320, the traffic status display, track circuit display, route display, standing line display, etc. are performed on the linear diagram, so that the train operation status or operation control status is expressed. In order to perform these displays, first, in the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240, among the operation plan information stored in the information storage device 230,
・ "Station A-Station B"
・ "10:00 to 11:00"
The operation plan information included in the range is taken out from the information storage device 230 as a display target and converted into display information. When this display information is transferred to the display device 200, the operation plan display 110 shown in FIG. 11A is performed on the display device 200.

  On the other hand, in the instruction operation information acquisition device 210, information for internal processing expressing the coordinates (X1, Y1) is generated from the instruction position from the instruction input device. This “information expressing the coordinates (X1, Y1)” is transferred to the device 2110, and the device 2110 transmits the “information expressing the coordinates (X1, Y1)” to the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. By transferring, the corresponding “information expressing the time“ 10:10 ”” and “information expressing the position“ station B ”” are acquired from the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. In addition, the device 2110 obtains “time“ 10:10 ”” corresponding to the instructed time after acquiring “information expressing the time“ 10:16 ”” as the specified time via the path 2111. Is compared with “information expressing the time“ 10:16 ”” corresponding to the specified time to determine whether the indicated time is before, after, or the same as the specified time. Is done. In this case, since it is clearly determined to be before the specified time, “information expressing time“ 10:10 ”” and “information expressing position“ station B ”” corresponding to the instructed time are displayed. Based on the information storage device 230, “information indicating traffic signal display, track circuit display, route display, standing line display on the linear diagram” as performance information indicating the operation status or operation control status at the corresponding time and position from the information storage device 230 receive. In the device 2110, in order to represent “signal display on the linear diagram, track circuit display, route display, and on-line display” based on the “information indicating the signal display on the linear diagram, the track circuit display, the route display, and the on-line display”. Display information ”is created and transferred to the display device 200.

  11B, the time direction instruction is “10:16” (corresponding horizontal coordinate is “X2”), and the position direction instruction is “station B” (corresponding If the vertical coordinate to be “Y1”) is processed in the same manner as in the previous case, the device 2110 receives the corresponding “time“ 10 ”from the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240. Information representing “time 16 minutes” and “information representing position“ station B ”” are acquired. After that, the “information expressing the time“ 10:16 ”” corresponding to the specified time is compared with the “information expressing the time“ 10:16 ”” as the specified time. It is determined whether the recorded time is before, after or the same as the specified time. In this case, since it is determined that the time is the same as the specified time, based on the “information expressing the position“ station B ”” corresponding to the instruction operation, the current status information indicating the operation status or the operation control status at the corresponding location “Information indicating traffic signal display, track circuit display, route display, and standing line display on linear diagram” is received from information input device 2100. In the device 2110, based on “information indicating traffic signal display, track circuit display, route display, standing line display on linear diagram”, “to express signal signal display, track circuit display, route display, standing line display on linear diagram” Display information ”is created and transferred to the display device 200.

The status display is displayed together with the operation plan display 110.

  As described above, even in the operation / operation control status display system having the switching function of the actual result / the current state / prediction, the device 2110 is a core component. The configuration is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the apparatus 2110 includes the above-described operation status / operation control status display determination unit 300 and operation plan information acquisition unit 330, as well as the actual / current / predictive instruction operation determination unit 400. A performance information acquisition unit 410 that acquires status information as a result, a current status information acquisition unit 420 that acquires current status information, a prediction information generation unit 430 that generates information indicating a prediction of an operation status or an operation control status, and an operation status Alternatively, an operation status / operation control status determination unit 440 that determines the operation control status is included.

  Now, the operation of the device 2110 will be described. When the operation status / operation control status determination unit 440 receives the instruction operation information via the route 215, the instruction operation is performed with respect to the operation plan information acquisition unit 330 via the route 315. The operation plan information (corresponding time and position) corresponding to the information (for example, coordinates on the display) is requested. As a response to this request, the operation plan information from the operation plan information-display information correspondence device 240 is acquired. . Next, the acquired operation plan information (corresponding time and position) is transferred to the actual / current / predicted instruction operation determination unit 400 via the route 405. In the actual / current / predictive instruction operation determination unit 400, information indicating the specified time is acquired via the route 2111, and the information indicating the time indicates the time in the operation plan information received via the route 405. Compared with information. By this comparison, it is determined whether the instructed time is before the specified time (that is, the result is indicated), the specified time is the same as the specified time (that is, the current state is indicated), or after the specified time (that is, the prediction is indicated). However, based on each of these discrimination results, requests such as acquisition of performance information, acquisition of current status information, and generation of prediction information are made to the track information acquisition unit 410, the current status information acquisition unit 420, and the prediction information generation unit 430. 425,435. The request is accompanied by the operation plan information corresponding to the instruction operation. However, in each of the result information acquisition unit 410, the current state information acquisition unit 420, and the prediction information generation unit 430 that has received the request and the operation plan information accompanying the request. , Operation status corresponding to the operation plan information, information indicating the operation control status, information indicating the operation status or the current status of the operation control status, operation status corresponding to the operation plan information, or prediction of the operation control status Is acquired or generated, and is transferred to the operation status / operation control status determination unit 440 via the route 345. In the operation status / operation control status determination unit 440, if information indicating the operation status / operation control status is acquired, the information is transferred to the operation status / operation control status display determination unit 300 via the route 305. In the operation status / operation control status display determination unit 300, the information is generated as display information representing the operation status / operation control status, and then transferred to the display device 200 via the route 205.

  Here, the prediction information generation unit 430 will be described. FIG. 19 shows an internal configuration of an example thereof. As described above, in the prediction information generation unit 430, information representing the operation status corresponding to the operation plan information or the prediction of the operation control status is generated. However, the prediction information generation unit 430 is as shown in FIG. , An operation plan information acquisition unit 1900 for acquiring information indicating an operation plan, a travel condition information acquisition unit 1910 for acquiring information indicating a travel condition of a train, a train position information generation unit 1920 for generating information indicating a train position, a train The route state information generating unit 1930 for generating information representing the state of the traveling route of the vehicle, the signal state generating unit 1950 for generating information representing the state of the traveling signal of the train, and the information representing the operation state of the train or the operation control state are output. The operation status / operation control status information output unit 1940 is configured to be included.

  Now, the operation of the prediction information generation unit 430 will be described. First, the train position information generation unit 1920 that has received the operation plan information corresponding to the instruction operation via the route 435, the travel condition information acquisition unit 1910 via the route 1915. The train travel condition information (for example, train performance, track conditions, train travel results, etc.) is received from the train, and the train plan information (for example, departure time) is obtained from the travel plan information acquisition unit 1900 via the route 1905. , Arrival time, etc.), the position corresponding to the instruction operation and the position of the train at the time are obtained, and information representing it is generated. On the other hand, in the route state information generation unit 1930 that has received the operation plan information corresponding to the instruction operation via the route 435, the train position information generation unit 1920 via the route 1925 receives the train at the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation. Information indicating the existing position is received, and the train operation plan information corresponding to the instruction operation is received from the operation plan information acquisition unit 1900 via the route 1906, and the travel route of the train at the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation is received. The information indicating the train position is generated, and the information indicating the train position is transferred to the operation status / operation control status information output unit 1940 via the route 1936. The signal state generation unit 1950 also receives the train travel condition information from the travel condition information acquisition unit 1910 via the route 1955, and the position corresponding to the instruction operation from the train position information generation unit 1920 via the route 1926. And information indicating the train's existing position at the time, and further, from the route state information generating unit 1930 via the route 1935, receiving information indicating the position of the train corresponding to the instruction operation and the state of the train's traveling route at the time, The state of the train traveling signal at the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation is obtained, and information representing it is generated and transferred to the operation status / operation control status information output unit 1940 via the route 1956. In this operation status / operation control status information output unit 1940, since the information indicating the location of the train is also acquired through the route 1927, the operation status / operation control status information output unit 1940 eventually uses the route 345. Thus, various information corresponding to the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation, that is, information indicating the position where the train is present, information indicating the state of the traveling route of the train, and information indicating the traveling signal of the train are output.

  Although the operation / operation control status display system has been described as a hardware image, most of the processing is actually performed by software processing. If the outline of a series of processes on this software is described, the process flow in an example is shown in FIG. In this case, first, when any operation is performed on the operation plan display at the start of processing in a state where the operation plan display (for example, diamond display) is performed, the operation is the operation status or the operation control status. Is determined to be an instruction to display (processes 1600, 1605, 1610). If the operation is not a status display instruction, the status display is terminated and returned to the initial state (processes 1610 and 1620). If the operation is a status display instruction, the operation status or operation control status display is started (steps 1610 and 1625). Subsequently, acquisition of the instruction operation on the operation plan display, display of the indicator on the operation plan display, and interpretation of the contents of the instruction operation (instruction position) are sequentially performed (processes 1630, 1635, and 1640). Next, after the display of the operation status or the operation control status is determined based on the interpretation result of the instruction operation content, the operation status or the operation control status is displayed, and then the initial state is restored. (Processing 1645 and 1650).

  Further, a description will be given of the course control / in-line display determination process. FIG. 21 shows a process flow in one example. As shown in the figure, after the processing is started, first, acquisition of on-line information, acquisition of route information, and acquisition of signal information are sequentially performed (processing 1700, 1705, 1710, 1715). Thereafter, based on the acquired on-line information, route information, and signal information, conversion processing to display information representing the information is performed, and a series of processing is ended (processing 1720 and 1725). ).

  Finally, if the status display determination process related to the actual / current / prediction switching function is described, the process flow in one example is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, after the processing is started, first, acquisition of a specified time and acquisition of instruction operation information are sequentially performed (processing 1800, 1805, 1806). Subsequently, by comparing the specified time with the time information (instructed time) included in the instruction operation information, it is determined whether or not the instructed time is before the specified time ( Process 1810). In this determination, if it is determined that it is before the specified time, the status display information is determined after the actual information at the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation information is acquired, and the series of processing is ended. (Processing 1810, 1815, 1820, 1825). If it is determined that it is not before the specified time, it is determined whether or not it is after the specified time (processes 1810 and 1830). In this determination, if it is not after the specified time, i.e., if it is determined that it matches the specified time, after the current status information at the position corresponding to the instruction operation information is acquired, the status display information is determined, A series of processing is terminated (processing 1830, 1835, 1820, 1825). On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is after the specified time, operation plan information at a position and time corresponding to the instruction operation, train traveling condition information, information indicating a route or signal state is sequentially acquired (process 1830). , 1840, 1845, 1850). Then, after the train operation status or operation control status at the position and time corresponding to the instruction operation information is obtained based on the operation plan and train operation conditions, the information indicating the train operation status or operation control status is displayed. Based on this, display information is determined, and a series of processing ends (processing 1855, 1820, 1825).
