Description

  The present invention relates to a train operation information notification device.

  Generally, when a train is operated, a plan diagram and a performance diagram are created. The plan diagram is a predetermined train operation schedule, and the record diagram is a train operation record table that records the time when the train arrives at each station. The plan diagram and the actual diagram are generally made into a database with the recent development of electronic information equipment.

  The operation management device that manages train operation gives a train operation instruction based on the plan diagram database, tracks the train running on the track, and controls the traffic signal in the traveling direction.

  A train operation information notification device is known as means for notifying passengers of information related to train operation. A conventional train operation information notification device displays a guide for a train to be departed next (hereinafter referred to as a departure notice guide) based on a cumulative number of trains that depart from a station platform and a plan diagram database. It was output by voice. Specific contents of the departure notice guidance are, for example, the destination of the train and the departure time of the train.

  However, since the conventional train operation information notification device outputs the departure notice guidance based on the cumulative number of trains that departed from the station platform and the plan schedule database, the train schedule is disturbed, When the actual operation time is delayed from the time determined by the plan schedule, the departure time displayed on the display board of the departure notice guide and the actual departure time are greatly deviated.

  For example, if the train scheduled to depart at 17:20 is delayed, even if the current time is 17:25, the display time of the departure notice guidance will indicate that the departure time of the next train is 17:20 Is displayed. Therefore, the passenger cannot obtain information on the departure time of the next train from the display board of the departure notice guidance, and it is difficult to say that the service for the passenger is sufficient.

  In this case, the station staff confirms the location of the delayed train by telephone, etc., and notifies the passengers of the predicted arrival time of the train via on-site broadcasting. However, there is a problem that it may interfere with the performance of other operations.

  In order to solve the problem of forcing such station staff, Patent Document 1 discloses an automated train automatic guidance device. In the train automatic guidance device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the central supervisory control device transmits the train delay time to each station existing in the traveling direction of the train, and each station predicts and predicts the arrival time of the train. The predicted arrival time and the like are displayed together with a delay message.

  However, in the train automatic guidance device disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the central monitoring and control device unilaterally supplies train delay information to each station, each station has a train in the guidance device provided in the station premises. A new database for storing the delay information and an information processing apparatus for processing the information of this database are required. Therefore, there is a problem that the equipment cost increases by the amount of the newly provided database and information processing apparatus.

  Moreover, since the train automatic guidance apparatus disclosed by patent document 1 is a structure in which a central monitoring control apparatus supplies information to each station, in order to implement | achieve the train automatic guidance apparatus disclosed by patent document 1, it is a center. It is necessary to change the system configuration of the monitoring control device. For this reason, there has been a problem of affecting the operation management apparatus that has been used conventionally.

Examples of the predetermined basic schedule include weekday schedule data and holiday schedule data.

  The record diagram database unit 12 stores a record diagram database. The record diagram database is a database obtained by tracking a train that is operating based on a planned diagram using a train monitoring device (not shown) arranged along the route on which the train runs, The actual arrival time or departure time is recorded for each station. Conventionally, this record diagram database has been used by the command unit 15 to display the train operation record for the commander or to create a daily report for the report at the end of work.

  The train monitoring apparatus can be installed on the premises of a station, for example. In addition, for a station through which a train passes, for example, a record diagram database can be created with the passing time as the arrival time or departure time.

  The command unit 15 is a part that bears the core of the operation management device, and is specifically an operation command room. The command unit 15 analyzes the information of the performance diagram database and the plan diagram database, monitors whether the train is operated according to the plan diagram, and issues a necessary instruction through the man-machine interface.

  For example, when a train is delayed due to construction, accident, etc., the actual schedule database is analyzed, the planned schedule is changed so that the train schedule is in an optimal state, and the changed planned schedule is stored in the planned diagram database section. 11 is input. Interlocking devices such as traffic lights and switching devices are controlled based on the changed schedule. As a specific example of the plan schedule change, it is possible to list operations such as a change in the course of a train, suspension of a train, addition of a temporary train, and a change in train time.

  The calculating part 21 is implement | achieved in the form added, without adding a change to the existing logic of the operation management apparatus 7. FIG. The computing unit 21 accesses the plan diagram database and the actual diagram database of the operation management device 7 at the start of work and at a predetermined timing. Moreover, the calculating part 21 acquires required information from a train tracking result.

  In a present Example, the calculating part 21 acquires required information from a train tracking result, a plan diagram database, and a performance diagram database, calculates train delay time using the acquired information, and notifies train delay. Command for output. For example, the calculation unit 21 may output a command for notifying the delay of the train only when the train delay time becomes a predetermined value or more.

  In the station device 3, the notification device 22 notifies the passenger of departure guidance information including information related to the delay of the train in accordance with the command output from the calculation unit 21. For example, the notification device 22 may act on the passenger's vision like a display board, or may act on the passenger's hearing like a local broadcast.

  As information to inform passengers, if there is no delay in the train, for example, the original train number, express, normal, etc. type stored in the plan diagram database, arrival home number, train destination, arrival time, Departure time, current train location, etc.

  If there is a delay in the train, for example, the changed train number, limited express, normal type, arrival home number, train destination, original departure time, and actual The predicted departure time, the current position of the train, the reason for delay, the delay time, and the like can be given.

  In addition, a configuration in which information to be notified can be manually changed, such as a configuration in which extra time is added to the predicted arrival time or the like by the judgment of the station staff in anticipation of further delay until arrival at the station, is possible.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1, an example of a procedure for notifying information on train delay will be specifically described.

  In the notification using the train operation information notification device according to the present embodiment, first, the calculation unit 21 determines whether or not to update the information to be notified. For example, the information to be notified may be updated at the timing when the starting train departs, when the plan schedule is changed, or when the station staff instructs to update the notification information.

  Next, the calculating part 21 accesses a plan diagram database, specifies a notification target train, and acquires the current position of the specified notification target train from the result of train tracking. Next, the calculating part 21 accesses a performance diagram database, and acquires the arrival time at the station immediately before reaching the current position for the notification target train. Next, the calculating part 21 accesses a plan diagram database, and acquires the arrival time in the said last station about the said notification object train.

  Next, the calculation unit 21 compares the arrival time of the immediately preceding station obtained by accessing the record diagram database with the arrival time of the immediately preceding station obtained by accessing the plan diagram database. Thus, the train delay time is calculated, and a command for notifying the train delay is output. In the present invention, the departure time may be used instead of the arrival time.

  Next, the calculation unit 21 determines that “there is a delay time” when the calculated train delay time is larger than the predetermined value, and determines that “there is no delay time” when it is smaller than the predetermined value.

  When the calculation unit 21 determines that “there is a delay time”, the notification device 22 notifies information related to the delay of the train, and when it is determined that “there is no delay time”, the notification device 22 notifies normal train information.

The above-described train operation information notification device according to the present embodiment includes a calculation unit 21. The calculating part 21 accesses a plan diagram database, specifies a notification target train, and obtains the current position of the specified notification target train from the result of train tracking.
