  Specifically, the computer 2 has a first acquisition function 3a, a second acquisition function 3b, an assignment function 4, a check function 5, a change content acquisition function 6, a change function 7, and a provision function 8 in accordance with the crew assignment program 1a. Realize. The computer 2 can refer to a storage unit (corresponding to the first storage unit) 9 and includes an internal storage unit (corresponding to the second storage unit) 10.

  The storage unit 9 stores crew item operation plan data 11, operation result data 12, crew member assignment rule data 13, check item data 14 including restriction conditions and working conditions related to assignment.

  The crew member operation plan data 11 is original plan data representing a train operation schedule (ordinary timetable) when no disturbance occurs and crew members assigned to the operation of each train in this operation schedule.

  The operation result data 12 is data in which crew members who are in charge of actual train operation and actual train operation are recorded.

  The crew assignment rule data 13 is data representing crew assignment rules (assignment patterns) for train operation.

  In the present embodiment, the crew assignment rule data 13 is in accordance with the crew operation plan data 11 (for example, as in the original plan) with respect to the schedule after the disorder occurs when the schedule is disturbed. Suppose that the content of assigning is defined. In addition, it replaces with the crew member assignment rule data 13, and the crew member assignment algorithm is produced, and the crew member assignment process with respect to operation may be performed using this crew member assignment algorithm.

  In the check item data 14, for example, the crew operation plan data 11 before or after the crew rides on the train, the required rest time, the distance that can be taken continuously, the time that the crew can continue working, Check whether the operation result data 12 and the created crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 match, or whether the crew member operation plan data 11 and the created crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 coincide with each other at the recovery time The item is defined.

  When the train operation schedule becomes abnormal, the first acquisition function 3a receives the vehicle arrangement plan data (recovery diagram) 19 and the crew assignment request from the other system 16 or the terminal 18 operated by the operator 17 via the network 22. , Get check request, get data request.

  When the first acquisition function 3 a acquires the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 and the crew assignment request, the first acquisition function 3 a provides the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 and the crew assignment request to the assignment function 4.

  Further, when the first acquisition function 3a acquires the crew assignment request, the check request, and the data acquisition request, the first acquisition function 3a notifies the providing function 8 of the request.

  The second acquisition function 3 b acquires crew member operation plan data 11, operation result data 12, crew member assignment rule data 13, and check item data 14 from the storage unit 9.

  Then, the second acquisition function 3b provides the acquired crew member operation plan data 11 and the crew member assignment rule data 13 to the assignment function 4, and checks the crew member operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, and the check item data 14 as the check function 5. To provide.

  For example, a database may be used as the storage unit 9, and a search function for this database may be used as the second acquisition function 3b.

  When the assignment function 4 receives the crew assignment request from the first acquisition function 3a, the crew function 4 performs the operation of each train of the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 according to the crew assignment rule data 13 based on the crew operation plan data 11. The crew member operation rearrangement plan data 15 indicating the assigned result is created.

  For example, in the assignment function 4, in the crew operation plan data 11 and the vehicle arrangement plan data 19, the departure station and the arrival station have the same train operation, and the difference between the departure time and arrival time of the operation of both trains is When the level is below a certain level, a process of allocating the crew of the train operation in the crew operation plan data 11 to the train operation of the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 is executed.

  Then, the assignment function 4 stores the crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 in the internal storage unit 10.

  The check function 5 receives crew member operation plan data 11, operation result data 12, and check item data 14 from the second acquisition function 3b.

  When the check function 5 receives a check request from the first acquisition function 3a, the check function 5 acquires the crew member operation rearrangement plan data 15 stored in the storage unit 15 or the crew member rearrangement plan data 20 after the change.

  The check function 5 is based on the crew operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, and the check item data 14, and the crew members to operate each train in the crew operation arrangement plan data 15 or the changed crew operation arrangement plan data 20. It is determined whether the allocation of the item satisfies the check item.

  For example, items such as whether the crew's working hours are within an allowable range, whether the crew's break time is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and whether the station where each crew member is present match the contents of the crew operation plan data 11 are checked.

  The check function 5 is the check result data 21 representing the result of detecting the operation of a train whose crew assignment result does not satisfy the check items in the crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 or the changed crew operation rearrangement plan data 20 or the check after the change. Result data 21 a is created, and check result data 21 or changed check result data 21 a is stored in internal storage unit 10.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the check function 5 has a crew member candidate selection function. The crew member selection function is a function for selecting a crew member candidate that can be assigned to this train and satisfies the check item when the operation of the train whose crew assignment result does not satisfy the check item is detected.

  The check function 5 creates the check result data 21 including the crew candidate selected by the crew candidate selection function or the check result data 21a after the change.

  The change content acquisition function 6 acquires change content data 35 representing change content such as a change request, for example, designation of operation of a train to change the crew assignment, and designation of a crew member after the change. Provide to change function 7.

  Further, when the change content acquisition function 6 acquires the change request, the change content acquisition function 6 notifies the providing function 8 of the change request.

  When the change content data 35 is received from the change content acquisition function 6, the change function 7 reads the crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 stored in the internal storage unit 10.

  Also, the change function 7 changes the operation of the train specified in the change content data 35 in the crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 by the crew indicated by the change content data 35, and creates the crew operation rearrangement plan data 20 after the change. To do.

  Then, the change function 7 stores the changed crewmember operation rearrangement plan data 20 in the internal storage unit 10. Note that the change to the crew management organization plan data 20 after the change can be executed in the same manner.

  The providing function 8 provides the data stored in the internal storage unit 10 to the other system 16 or the terminal 18 via the network 22 in accordance with the request notified from the first acquisition function 3a or the change content acquisition function 6. To do.

  The vertical axis represents the stations SA to SC. In FIG. 2, the operation schedule between the stations SA to SC is represented. The horizontal axis represents time.

  The other lines excluding the vertical axis and the horizontal axis represent the operation (running state) of the train moving between the stations SA to SC. That is, each line represents a series of operational flows that each train is in charge of. Of the lines representing operation, diagonal lines represent movement of trains between stations, and among the lines, lines parallel to the horizontal axis represent train stops at stations.

  For example, the operating RA train is heading for the station SA at the time t1 when the disturbance occurs. And the train of operation RA stops for a while after arriving at station SA, and heads for station SC after that.

  The vehicle arrangement plan data 19 acquired by the first acquisition function 3a may represent the operation schedules of all trains in a certain time zone as shown in FIG. Information indicating a change in the section of the section may be used. In the latter case, information on the operation of other trains is acquired by the second acquisition function 3b as necessary, and crew members are assigned and checked.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of the check result data 21 displayed by the crew assignment device according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 3, in addition to the contents of the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 by the description method of FIG. 2, the operation RB, RC of the contradictory portion that does not satisfy the check items is represented by a double line.

  Note that the operation RB, RC of the contradictory portion that does not satisfy the check items may be displayed by another method as long as it can be distinguished from the operation that can be handled by the crew. For example, blinking, color change, thick lines, etc. may be used.

  When a certain line is selected by the pointing device or the like for the display contents of the check result in the operation schedule format, detailed information 23 about the operation RB of the selected train is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 3, as the detailed information 23, a route number, an operation number, a crew member in charge, a state, a reason, and the like are displayed. In the “status” of the detailed information 23, “not in charge” is displayed when the check items are not satisfied. Then, in the “reason” of the detailed information 23, the content of the check item that is not satisfied is displayed.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the crew member assignment apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  In step S <b> 1, the first acquisition function 3 a acquires the vehicle arrangement plan data 19, the crew assignment request, and the check request from the other system 16 or the terminal 18.

  In step S <b> 2, the second acquisition function 3 b acquires crew member operation plan data 11, operation result data 12, crew member assignment rule data 13, and check item data 14 from the storage unit 9.

  In step S3, the assignment function 4 assigns crew members to the operation of each train in the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 according to the crew assignment rule data 13 based on the crew crew operation plan data 11 and the operation result data 12, The crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 indicating the assigned result is created.

  In step S4, the check function 5 is based on the crew member operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, the check item data 13, and the crew member operation rearrangement plan data 15. Judgment is made as to whether or not the assignment satisfies the check item, and for the operation of the train that does not satisfy the check item, a crew member candidate is selected and check result data 21 is created.

  In step S <b> 5, the providing function 8 provides the crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 and the check result data 21 to the other system 16 or the terminal 18. As a result, the crew member operation arrangement plan data 15 and the check result data 21 are displayed on the screen and referred to by the operator 17.

  In step S6, the change content acquisition function 6 determines whether or not a change request, change content data 35, and a check request have been acquired. If a change request or the like has not been acquired, the process ends.

  When the change request or the like is acquired, in step S7, the change function 7 assigns the crew indicated by the change content data 35 to the operation designated as the portion to be changed by the change content data 35 in the crew operation organization plan data 15, The crew management rearrangement plan data 20 after the change is created.

  In step S8, the check function 5 determines each train in the changed crewmember operation plan data 20 based on the crew member operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, the check item data 14, and the changed crew member operation plan data 20. It is determined whether or not the assignment of the crew to the operation satisfies the check item, and for the operation of the train not satisfying the check item, a crew member candidate is selected, and the check result data 21a after the change is created.

  In step S <b> 9, the providing function 8 provides the changed crew member operation organization plan data 20 and the changed check result data 21 a to the other system 16 or the terminal 18. As a result, the changed crew management arrangement plan data 20 and the changed check result data 21a are displayed on the screen and referred to by the operator 17. Thereafter, the process returns to step S6.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the check function 5.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the check function 5 checks whether the train can reach the station according to the original plan by assigning the crew members along the original plan to the vehicle arrangement plan. Further, it is assumed that the check function 5 checks whether there is any operation that is not assigned by the crew among the operations in the vehicle arrangement plan.

  In step T1, the check function 5 stores all train operations in the vehicle arrangement plan data 19 in the array MA.

  In step T2, the check function 5 sorts crew members to be assigned. As an order for sorting, for example, the order in which the assignable time is earlier can be considered, but the order may be sorted in another order.

  In step T3, the check function 5 repeats the processing from step T4 to step T7 for all the crew members after sorting.

  In step T4, the check function 5 checks whether a certain crew member can be assigned as planned.

  In order to determine whether or not an assignment can be made for a certain crew member, several check items are defined. This check item is stored in advance. Moreover, it can be added / changed / deleted as necessary.

  For example, as a check item, the operation that a certain crew member was scheduled to be in charge of in the original plan exists in the recovery plan (does not exist if changed to suspension), whether there is time for the connection, or recovery of disturbance Assume that it is defined whether the station is as planned at the time.

  In step T5, the check function 5 stores, in the array OK, operations that can assign a certain crew member as planned based on the check result in step T4.

  In step T6, the check function 5 determines whether a certain crew member can be assigned as planned based on the check result in step T4. If a crew member can be assigned as planned, the process proceeds to step T8.

  If the crew member cannot be assigned as planned, in step T7, the crew member ID, the operation in the recovery plan that cannot be assigned, and the reason (check item) are stored in the array IDs, U, and R, respectively, and the process moves to step T8.

  In step T8, the check function 5 determines whether or not all the crew members have been checked. If completed, the process proceeds to step T9. If not, the process returns to step T3.

  In step T9, the check function 5 searches for operations that are not assigned by the crew based on the arrays MA and OK, and stores them in the array S.

  In step T10, the check function 5 creates check result data 21 including the array IDs, U, R, and S.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the check result data 21 including the crew candidate selection result displayed by the crew assignment device according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 6, the same contents as in FIG. 3 are displayed. Further, in FIG. 6, as the detailed information 24, a list of crew members who can be in charge of operation of the train is displayed. This list is created by the crew member selection function.

  The crew candidate selection function is, for example, based on the crew operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, the check item data 14, the crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 or the changed crew operation rearrangement plan data 20, and the start of the operation to be assigned. Select a crew member on the condition that it is a crew member at the departure station and a spare crew member waiting at the departure station of the operation subject to allocation at some time before the time (predetermined margin time) Do.

  An alternative selection button 25 is assigned beside each crew member candidate. When the crew member is selected by the selection selection button 25 and the change button 26 is pressed, the changing process by the changing function 7 is executed based on the relationship between the selected operation and the crew member.

  In the present embodiment described above, when the train operation schedule is disturbed, information necessary for creating the crew operation arrangement plan data 15 is acquired, and the crew operation arrangement plan data 15 is automatically acquired as much as possible. The necessary information can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner.

  In addition, it is possible to automatically check whether each crew member is responsible for each operation in the vehicle arrangement plan. The operator 17 can quickly and easily obtain a determination result as to whether a crew member can be secured for the vehicle arrangement plan.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to make changes to the crew management arrangement plan data 15 that has been created, and it is possible to automatically check whether there is any contradiction in the changed operation plan. Can be easily adjusted.

  Further, the changed operation plan can be compared with the original plan or the previous change arrangement plan, and the difference between the changed operation plan and the original plan or the previous change arrangement plan can be displayed in an easily understandable manner. The operator 17 can easily confirm matters to be transmitted to each department when the operation schedule is disturbed.

(Second Embodiment)
The present embodiment is a modification of the crew assignment device according to the first embodiment. The crew assignment device according to the present embodiment obtains a change request for the crew management organization plan data 15, obtains an influence investigation request for investigating an influence caused by the change, and includes a check including the result of the influence investigation. Create result data.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of a crew member assignment apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  The computer 29 provides a first acquisition function 31, a second acquisition function 3b, an assignment function 4, a check function 32, a change content acquisition function 6, a change function 7, according to the crew assignment program 30a recorded in the recording medium 30. Function 8 is realized.

  The first acquisition function 31 has the same function as the first acquisition function 3a according to the first embodiment, and further investigates the effect caused by the change when the crew assignment to the operation is changed. Acquire an impact investigation request to the effect.

  The check function 32 has the same function as the check function 5 according to the second embodiment, and additionally has an influence investigation function 32a.

  When the check function 32 having the influence investigation function 32a accepts the influence investigation request, the check function 32 has the operation changed by the change function 7 based on the crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 and the changed crew operation rearrangement plan data 20. A related operation is extracted as an influence part, check result data 34 including influence investigation data 33 indicating the extraction result of the influence part is created, and stored in the internal storage part 10.

  For example, the impact investigation function 32a extracts an operation to which the same crew member is assigned as the crew member in the changed operation.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the relationship between the changed operation and the affected part.

  It is assumed that the same crew member Z1 is assigned to the operations 101 and 103. On the other hand, it is assumed that another crew member Z2 is assigned to the operation 102.

  Here, when the operator 17 cancels the assignment of the operation 101 to the crew member Z1 and changes the assignment so that the operation 102 is assigned, the influence investigation function 32a obtains an influence part and checks result data including the influence investigation data 33. 34 is created.

  The providing function 7 provides the check result data 34 for displaying the affected part as a warning.

  In the example of FIG. 10, it is determined that the operation 103 is affected by the above change, and the operation 103 is extracted as an influence unit. The operations 102 and 103 affected by the change are displayed by, for example, a double line and can be easily confirmed.

  Further, the influence investigation function 32a determines whether or not the influence part generated by the change of the operation 101 satisfies the check item based on the check item data 14, and if this check part does not satisfy the check item, the influence investigation part The impact investigation data 33 including the warning information 104 indicating the content of the check item for the contradiction portion is created.

  The providing function 8 provides check result data 34. As a result, for example, “the person in charge of operation 103 needs to be changed” and “the crew Z1 needs to go to the station SC after being in charge of operation 102” are displayed.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the crew member assignment apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  Steps U1 to U7 are the same as steps S1 to S7 in FIG. 7 according to the first embodiment.

  In step U8, the check function 32 determines whether an impact investigation request has been acquired. If an influence investigation request has not been acquired, the process returns to step U6.

  When the influence investigation request is acquired, in step U9, the check function 32 converts the crew member operation arrangement plan data 15, the crew member operation arrangement plan data 20 after the change, the crew member operation plan data 11, the operation result data 12, and the check item data 14 into the check item data 14. Based on the changed crew member operation rearrangement plan data 20, the affected part affected by the changed operation is obtained, and check result data 34 including the influence investigation data 33 is created.

  In step U <b> 10, the providing function 8 provides check result data including the impact investigation data 33 to the other system 16 or the terminal 18. As a result, the impact investigation result is displayed on the screen and is referred to by the operator 17. Thereafter, the process returns to step U6.

As a result, the operator 17 can easily confirm and determine the assignment of the crew to the operation.

(Third embodiment)
In the present embodiment, a modified example of the assignment function 4 of the crew member assignment device according to the first and second embodiments will be described. The assignment function 4 according to the present embodiment automatically creates crew member operation arrangement plan data 15.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the crew member assignment apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  Steps V1 to V5 are the same as steps S1 to S5 in FIG. 4 according to the first embodiment.

  In step V6, at least one of the change content acquisition function 6 and the first acquisition function 3a determines whether or not at least one of the change request and the crew assignment request has been acquired. If no change request or crew assignment request has been acquired, the process ends.

  When at least one of the change request and the crew assignment request is acquired, in step V7, the assignment function 4 and the change function 7 determine whether the change request is manually changed by the operator 17 or in the crew assignment request. It is determined whether the automatic assignment of the crew assignment device is required.

  When the manual change of the operator 17 is requested | required, the change function 7 produces the crew member operation | organization arrangement plan data 20 after the change based on the instruction | indication of the operator 17 in step V8a.

  When an automatic change of the crew member assignment device is requested, in step V8b, the assignment function 4 automatically executes the assignment process for the operation, and automatically creates the crew member operation rearrangement plan data 20 after the change.

  Steps V9 and V10 are the same as steps S8 and S9 of FIG. 4 according to the first embodiment.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of a method for assigning crew members to unassigned operations used in the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a crew assignment method for an unassigned operation used in the present embodiment.

  The route 1301 is actually assigned to a certain crew member. In FIG. 13, the actual results are shown up to the current time tR, and the predictions are shown after the time tR.

  A route 1302 represents a planned route of a crew member in charge of the route 1301. According to the plan, the crew is to return from the station SB to the station SA after the current time tR.

  However, since the actual train has not arrived at the station SB at the current time tR, the crew cannot take charge of operation from the station SB to the station SA on the planned route. For this reason, the crew cannot return to the station SA.

  Operation 1303 represents the operation of a temporary train from the station SB to the station SA after the current time tR and the crew arrives at the station SB.

  Therefore, the assignment function 4 assigns a crew member to this operation 1303, and returns this crew member from the station SB to the station SA.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of an assignment method by exchanging crew members between operations used in the present embodiment.

  A route 1401 represents an actual route that a crew member is in charge of. A route 1402 represents a planned route that is handled by the same crew as the route 1401. There is a delay at the current time tR, and this crew member is not in charge of the operation 1402a. In addition, this crew member needs to return from the station SB to the station SA after the current time tR, but in this state, the crew member cannot return from the station SB to the station SA.

  On the other hand, the route 1403 represents a route in charge of another crew member. Operation 1403 a is operation of the route 1403. In operation 1403a of this route 1403, it is scheduled that a crew member in charge of the route 1401 will depart after arriving at the station SB.

  In this case, the operation 1402a of the route 1402 and the operation 1403a of the route 1403 are exchanged between the crew member and another crew member. As a result, after the current time tR, the crew member takes charge of the operation 1403a of the route 1403 instead of the operation 1402a of the route 1402, and this crew member can return from the station SB to the station SA. Another crew member takes charge of the operation 1401a of the route 1401 instead of the operation 1403a of the route 1403.

  Note that FIG. 14 illustrates an example in which a crew member is exchanged between two operations, but a plurality of crew members may be exchanged between three or more operations. It is assumed that the upper limit of the number of such operation exchanges is given by the operator 17 as a condition input.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an assignment method by forward and crewmembers between operations used in the present embodiment.

  The list 1501 displays a list of crew members who are in charge of the planned operation from the station SA to the station SB. It is assumed that the crew member J1 is late in arriving at the station SA, and cannot take charge of the operation of leaving the station SA at 11:20.

  A list 1502 is a list of crew members in charge of the planned operation of departure from the station SA and arrival at the station SB after applying forward feeding and piggybacking.

  For the operation of leaving the station SA scheduled to be assigned to the crew member J1 at 11:20, the crew member is reassigned by applying other assignment rules such as suspension of service or assignment of spare personnel.

  The crew member J1 assigns the station SA to the operation departing at 11:30 because the operation is expected to be possible if the operation departs from the station SA at 11:30 (forward feeding).

  The operation of leaving the station SA, to which the crew member J1 was assigned in order, at 11:30, was planned to be handled by the crew member J2. Since the crew member J2 also needs to be moved from the station SA to the station SB, the crew member J2 takes the station SA for which the crew member J3 is in charge of the operation starting at 12:00 (piping). It should be noted that the number of forward feeds is up to an upper limit value that the operator 17 inputs in advance.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for assigning spare personnel between operations used in the present embodiment.

  A route 1601 represents an actual route in charge of a certain crew member. A route 1602 represents a planned route that is handled by the same crew as the route 1601. There is a delay at the current time tR, and this crew member cannot arrive at the station SB at the planned time and cannot perform the planned operation.

  In this situation, if there is a spare person standing by at the station SA at the current time tR, the spare person is assigned to the operation of the route 1602 where the crew cannot perform. A route 1603 represents a route as a result of assigning a spare person.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the assignment function 4 according to the present embodiment.

  In step W1, the assignment function 4 acquires the crew assignment rule data 13 including the assignment pattern (assignment condition) via the second acquisition function 3b. The crew member assignment rule data 13 may be input from the operator 17.

  As the assignment pattern defined in the crew assignment rule data 13, for example, “crew principal”, “operation subject”, “priority of assignment pattern”, “evaluation index of assignment result”, and the like are defined.

  The crew subject is a rule that specifies that a series of operations that can be handled by one crew member is searched and assigned.

  The operation subject is a rule that specifies that a crew member who can be assigned is searched for and assigned to a series of operations that one vehicle is in charge of.

  Allocation pattern priority refers to crew assignment to unallocated operations described in FIGS. 13 to 16 above, replacement of crew between operations, forward and flight of crew between operations, and reserve personnel between operations. This is the priority of the allocation pattern such as allocation. Priorities are determined in advance for each assignment pattern, and each assignment pattern is applied according to this order, and crew members who can be assigned to the operation are searched.

  The evaluation index of the allocation result is an evaluation index for selecting an optimum combination from the plurality of combinations when there are a plurality of combinations as the allocation result. The combination is a combination of a series of operations when assignment is performed by a crew member or a combination of crew members when assignment is performed by a management subject.

  As an evaluation index of the assignment result, for example, an evaluation value calculation method for selecting an appropriate assignment is defined. As a specific example, the length of the total working time, the appropriateness of the break time, etc. are used as the evaluation index.

  In step W2, the assignment function 4 repeats steps W3 to W8 for each crew member or operation.

  In step W3, the allocation function 4 applies each allocation pattern according to the priority order of the allocation pattern, and searches for crew members to be allocated to operation.

  In step W4, the assignment function 4 determines whether there is a combination of operation and crew that can be assigned.

  If there is no assignable combination, in step W5, the assignment function 4 stores the crew members or operations that cannot be assigned in the array NA. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step W9.

  On the other hand, when there are combinations that can be allocated, in step W6, the allocation function 4 determines whether or not there are a plurality of combinations that can be allocated.

  If the number of combinations that can be allocated is singular, the allocation function 4 performs allocation by this combination and stores the combinations in the array P in step W7. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step W9.

  On the other hand, when there are a plurality of assignable combinations, in Step W8, the assignment function 4 calculates an evaluation value based on a predefined evaluation index for the plurality of assignment combinations, and the combination having the highest evaluation value is obtained. Is stored in the array P. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step W9.

  In step W9, the allocation function 4 determines whether or not the processing has been completed for all crew members or operations.

  If not completed, the process returns to step W2.

  On the other hand, if it has been completed, in step W10, the allocation function 4 stores the crew operation rearrangement plan data 15 (for example, the array P, NA) or the crew member rearrangement plan data 20 after the change as the allocation result. To remember.

  In the present embodiment described above, it is possible to automatically create the crew member operation rearrangement plan data 15 or the changed crew member operation rearrangement plan data 20 by the assignment function 4. Thereby, the work effort of the operator 17 can be reduced.

  As an automatic assignment method, for example, the assignment function 4 assigns crew members on a trial basis to the operation of individual trains in the vehicle arrangement plan, and the assignment of the crew members is the crew assignment rule data 13 or check. Check whether the contents of the item data 14 are inconsistent. If there is no contradiction, the assignment of the crew to the operation of the train is adopted as appropriate. It is also possible to assign a crew member, check whether the assignments of other crew members contradict the contents of the crew member assignment rule data 13 or the check item data 14, and repeat the same processing.

  In each of the above embodiments, each component may be rearranged as long as the same operation can be realized, each component may be freely combined, and each component may be freely divided. Well, some components may be deleted. In other words, each of the above embodiments is not limited to the above-described configuration as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the components without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage.

  For example, an external hard disk provided for the computers 2 and 29 may be used instead of the internal storage unit 10.

  For example, the check function 32 and the impact investigation function 32a may have different structures. Further, the check result data 34 and the influence investigation data 33 may have different structures.

  The crew assignment programs 1a and 30a described in the above embodiments are written on a recording medium such as a magnetic disk (flexible disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, etc. 29 is applicable. The crew assignment programs 1a and 30a can also be transmitted to a computer 2 and applied to the computers 2 and 29 through a communication medium.
