Description

  The present invention relates to a passenger guidance device for guiding a passenger when getting on and off a vehicle.

  Conventionally, in public transportation such as railways and buses, a vehicle having a plurality of entrances may have different entrances. In railways, the entrances to be opened and closed differ depending on the station, and passengers often get off from entrances and exits different from the entrances on which they boarded. In addition, in general, buses have a distinction between the boarding gate and the boarding gate, but depending on the operator and the route, either the boarding gate at the front of the vehicle body or the boarding gate at the rear of the vehicle is for boarding, and which is for boarding Is different. In order to improve the convenience for passengers in this situation, when a stop or station approaches, which exit / exit is opened / closed at the next stop / station, or from which exit / exit A voice guidance device has been used to notify passengers by voice.

  However, the conventional voice guidance device has a problem that the guidance voice cannot be heard well for a hearing impaired person or an elderly person. Also, foreign passengers may not be able to understand with Japanese voice guidance.

  On the other hand, a technique is known in which passengers are visually informed of opening and closing of the entrance / exit by performing visual and conspicuous light emission display (see Patent Document 1). According to the technique of Patent Literature 1, a handrail that incorporates a light emitting device is provided near the entrance of a railway vehicle, and the handrail can emit light, thereby informing the passenger of which entrance door is opened. .

JP 2007-230380 A

  Incidentally, some passenger vehicles such as buses and some railroads have steps or steps in the interior of the vehicle such as the vicinity of the entrance / exit for convenience of the vehicle structure. In such a shared vehicle, the passenger needs to pay attention to his / her feet when moving in the vehicle to get off. However, if the handrail is caused to emit light as in Patent Document 1, since the handrail is being watched at a position higher than the floor, the passenger may step on without knowing the step and may fall over at the step.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger guidance device that guides a passenger who is about to get off so that the passenger can move safely and smoothly in the vehicle.

  The passenger guidance device of the present invention is “a passenger guidance device in a shared vehicle having a plurality of entrances and exits, which is provided on the passenger compartment floor and is more visual than at least the first display state and the first display state. It is possible to change to a plurality of display states including a strongly stimulated second display state, changing from the first display state to the second display state, and suggesting the moving direction of passengers getting off the vehicle It has a guidance display section ”.

  Here, the “display state” is an aspect that is visually recognized by the passenger. For example, the lighting / light-off state of a light-emitting device such as a light bulb or LED, the state of the color or amount of light emitted by the light-emitting device Can be mentioned. The “visual stimulus” may include, for example, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting device, the saturation of the emitted color, the brightness, and the like.

  According to the present invention, the guidance display unit is provided on the passenger compartment floor of the passenger vehicle, and each guidance display unit shifts from the first display state to the second display state with stronger visual stimulation. It is possible to change. As a result, passengers can know the boarding / exit points to get off according to the display state of the guidance display while checking the presence or absence of a step while looking at their feet when moving inside the vehicle when getting off, moving safely and smoothly can do.

  Further, the present invention provides: "The guide display section is provided in a plurality, and the plurality of guide display sections are arranged in the first display state in order from the far side to the near side with respect to the entrance / exit used when getting off the vehicle. To the second display state in the first half of the period, and suggests the direction of movement of passengers getting off. "

  According to this structure, a guidance display part changes a display state in order from the side far from the entrance / exit used at the time of alighting to the near side. For example, if the guidance display unit is equipped with a light emitting device, the light emitting device is turned on in order from the far side to the near side from the entrance and exit, so that the direction of travel is suggested to the passenger. Thereby, the passenger who gets off can grasp | ascertain intuitively to which boarding / exit to which it should move.

  Further, the present invention may be configured such that “a part or all of the plurality of guide display portions are provided on the protruding portion of the step of the passenger compartment floor”.

  In the case of passenger vehicles such as buses and railways, there may be steps on the passenger compartment floor due to restrictions on the vehicle body structure. According to this configuration, part or all of the plurality of guide display portions are provided on the protruding portion of the step on the passenger compartment floor, so that the visibility of the step is locally improved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the passenger from tripping over by stepping on the vehicle or stepping in the sky. The “projecting portion” of the step is a periphery of the ridge line portion corresponding to the boundary between the tread surface of the step and the kick surface.

  In addition, the present invention may be configured such that “the guide display unit exhibits a strip shape parallel to the ridge line portion of the protruding portion”.

  According to this configuration, the guide display unit has a belt-like shape parallel to the ridge line part of the projecting part, and indicates the position and shape of the step by the shape of the guide display part extending along the shape of the ridge line part. Can increase the sex. Thereby, while guiding a passenger to a boarding / alighting gate, fear of the fall by oversight of a level | step difference can be prevented, and a passenger can be guided to a boarding / alighting gate safely.

Further, the present invention is "a passenger guidance device in a shared vehicle comprising a plurality of entrances and exits provided with stepped steps between the passenger compartment floor,
It is possible to change to at least a first display state and a second display state having a stronger visual stimulus than the first display state, each having a strip shape extending in the width direction of the step. It has a plurality of guidance display parts provided on the protruding part of each stage,
The plurality of guidance display units provided at the steps near the entrance for getting off from the first display state from the first display state to the previous guidance display unit from the guidance display unit at the upper side of the step to the previous period. Change to the second display state, suggesting the direction of passengers getting off,
The plurality of guidance display units provided at the steps near the boarding gate are sequentially from the guidance display unit on the boarding gate side of the step to the guidance display unit on the passenger compartment floor side. It is good also as a structure which changes from said 1st display state to the 2nd display state of the previous term, and suggests the moving direction of the passenger who gets on.

  According to this structure, the passenger who gets on and off is guided according to the display state of the guidance display part provided in the step-like steps near the entrances for getting off and getting on. Thereby, the entrance / exit for getting off and the entrance / exit for getting on can be shown clearly, and a safe and smooth movement of a passenger can be promoted. Also, passengers who have been waiting for a ride at a bus stop can be made to recognize the boarding gate for getting off and the boarding gate for getting on and off. It is possible to prevent a possibility that the flow of passengers is complicated.

  Further, the present invention may be configured such that “the guidance display unit includes a light emitting diode”.

  According to this structure, the guidance display part is provided with the light emitting diode (LED), and can change a display state by light emission. In addition, since the light emitting diode is small and can be disposed in a narrow space, the use of the light emitting diode as a light source can prevent an increase in the size of the guide display portion and can keep the processing on the passenger compartment floor extremely small. .

  As described above, according to the passenger guidance device of the present invention, by suggesting the moving direction of the passenger getting off by the change in the display state of the guidance display section provided on the passenger compartment floor, the passenger can be safely and smoothly. It can be guided so that it can move to the entrance / exit.

  As described above, all the guidance indicators are provided on the in-vehicle passage or step and at positions separated from each other.

  Since the guidance indicators 43 to 48 are equivalent to each other, the guidance indicator 43 will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A is a perspective view showing an outline of the guidance display 43, and FIG. 3B is an explanatory view showing a longitudinal section of the guidance display 43 in the light emitting portion 43a. The guide indicator 43 has a long base material in which the upper surface plate 54 is substantially parallel to the tread surface of the step, and the kick surface protection plate 57 has a substantially L-shaped cross section extending downward from the ridge line side end of the upper surface plate 54. A light emitting portion 43a that emits light using the LED 50 as a light source is assembled to 43b. The base material 43b is made of an aluminum alloy, and two anti-slip members 55 having undulations on the surface are mounted on the upper surface of the base material 43b. A light emitting portion receiving groove 58 is recessed in the top end portion of the upper surface of the base material 43b, that is, the upper end portion of the kick surface protecting plate 57, and the plastic light guide 51 constituting the lens portion of the light emitting portion 43a is received. To do.

  The light emitting portion receiving groove 58 is linearly formed in a direction extending in parallel to the ridge line portion 36 when mounted on the step uppermost portion 28, and the LED substrate 53 so as to be housed along the light emitting portion receiving groove 58. Is long, and a large number of LEDs 50 are arranged on the LED substrate 53 in a line in the longitudinal direction. The LED 50 can emit light in three colors of red, blue, and green. The light guide 51 is a long member that can be fitted into the light emitting unit receiving groove 58, and is formed into a groove shape extending in the longitudinal direction in the kick surface protection plate 57 below the light emitting unit receiving groove 58. The LED substrate 53 is disposed at a predetermined position of the light source housing portion 56, and the light guide 51 is fitted into and adhered to the light emitting portion housing groove 58 so as to prevent water droplets from entering the light emitting portion housing groove 58 from above. The When the LED 50 is caused to emit light, the light emitted from the LED 50 is transmitted through the light guide 51, diffused and emitted from the light guide 51, and the light emitting portion 43a is entirely illuminated.

  A wiring 52 for supplying power to the LED 50 is passed through the light source housing 56 and pulled out to the side of the guide display 43. The wiring 52 is drawn into a wiring space (not shown) through a hole provided on the wall surface of the passenger compartment, etc., as in a general bus car electrical component, and is a door opening / closing control board (not shown) installed around the driver's seat. )It is connected to the. The hole on the indoor wall surface is a position hidden by the guidance indicators 43 to 45 and does not appear in the interior of the bus 10 after assembly.

  The guide indicator 43 is fixed to the step uppermost portion 28 with a screw (not shown) with the bottom surface side 54a of the upper surface plate 54 and the rear surface side 57a of the kick surface protection plate 57 abutting on the step uppermost portion 28, and is fixed to the step uppermost portion 28. 28 ridge lines 36 are protected. The base material 43b is formed of an aluminum alloy, and is difficult to be worn even if the ridge line portions 36 to 38 are repeatedly rubbed by a shoe sole, an umbrella foot, or the like. Moreover, since the base material 43b has an oxide film and has low reactivity with respect to moisture, it does not corrode even when water droplets adhere. The light emitting unit 43a is sealed by the light guide 51 as described above, and prevents the possibility of short circuit due to water immersion inside.

  The level difference warning display device 3 includes guidance indicators 49 at the level differences 20 and 21, respectively. The guidance indicator 49 provided in the steps 20, 21 has the same configuration as the guidance indicator 43, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the front passenger guidance apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. When the driver performs an operation of opening the closed front door 11 with a door opening / closing switch (not shown), the door opening / closing control board controls the drive unit (not shown) of the front door 11 to move the front part. The door 11 is opened, and the power supply to the front passenger guidance device 1 is controlled, and the display state is changed by switching on and off the guidance display units 43 to 45.

  The front passenger guidance device 1 is turned off when the front door 11 is closed, but when a signal for opening the front door 11 is issued, the door opening / closing control board is also combined with the front passenger guidance. Control for causing the apparatus 1 to emit light on the guidance indicators 43 to 45 is started. First, the door opening / closing control board supplies current to the guidance display 43 to light the guidance display 43. Thereafter, the door opening / closing control board turns on the guidance display 44 at a timing delayed by a predetermined waiting time (for example, 0.5 seconds) from the guidance display 43. Further, the door opening / closing control board similarly turns on the guidance display 45 at a timing delayed by a predetermined waiting time from the guidance display 44. The guide indicators 43 to 45 are turned off by the door opening / closing control board when a predetermined lighting time (for example, 1.0 second) has elapsed. When a predetermined standby time has elapsed, the light is again turned on for a predetermined lighting time. About this lighting and extinction, it is set as one cycle until just before the next lighting, and after that, this cycle is repeated while the front door 11 is opened. Thereby, the front passenger guidance device 1 performs the light emission display that looks as if the light emitting part moves in the order of the guidance indicators 43 to 45.

  When the driver performs an operation of closing the front door 11, the door opening / closing control board controls the drive unit of the front door 11 to close the front door 11. The guidance indicators 43 to 45 that are in the lighting state when a signal for closing the front door 11 is issued are turned off based on the control of the door opening / closing control board. On the other hand, the guidance indicators 43 to 45 that were in the off state when the closing signal was issued are turned off as they are, and all of the guidance indicators 43 to 45 are turned off.

  The operation state of the rear passenger guide device 2 is controlled in conjunction with the opening / closing of the rear door 12 by the door opening / closing control board based on the operation of the driver, similarly to the front passenger guide device 1. Unlike the front passenger guide device 1, the rear passenger guide device 2 is different from the guide display device 48 mounted on the step lower stage 30 closest to the entrance 9, the guide display 47 of the step upper stage 29, and the step uppermost part 28. The guidance display 46 is turned on / off in order. The cycle of turning on and off is the same as that of the front passenger guide device 1.

  Next, a second guidance display method using the front passenger guidance device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. According to the second guidance display method, when the front door 11 is opened, the door opening / closing control board issues a signal for opening the front door 11 based on the operation of the driver and opens the front door 11 to the control unit. In addition, all the guidance indicators 43 to 45 are turned on. When closing the front door 11, the door opening / closing control board sends a signal for closing the front door 11 to the drive unit of the front door 11 based on the operation of the driver, and closes the front door 11. To do. At this time, the door opening / closing control board does not immediately turn off the guidance indicators 43 to 45, but delays for a predetermined time L (for example, 7 seconds) after issuing a signal for closing the door based on the operation of the driver. 43 to 45 are turned off. The predetermined time L is acquired with reference to a timer and a ROM included in the door opening / closing control board.

  According to the second guidance display method, the position of the front entrance / exit 8 and each step of step 22 can be easily seen, and the passengers can be safely and smoothly guided to the front entrance / exit to facilitate getting on / off. be able to. In addition, since the guidance indicators 43 to 45 are lit for a predetermined time L even after the door is closed, the impression is not given more suddenly than when the front door 11 is closed and turned off at the same time. Further, since the lighting effect is obtained by turning on the guidance indicators 43 to 45, for example, the passenger can put the wallet in the bag while the passenger is near the front entrance 8 after getting on or after getting off, It is possible to make it easier to check the display and the like. Thus, according to the 2nd guidance display method, a passenger's comfort can be increased rather than the case where the guidance indicators 43-45 are light-extinguished as soon as the front door 11 is closed.

  The step warning display device 3 is also controlled to be turned on / off by the door opening / closing control board in accordance with the opening / closing of the front door 11 and the rear door 12 by the operation of the driver. The level difference warning display device 3 is provided with a guidance indicator 49 at each level difference 20 and 21, and is turned on when one of the doors is opened and turned off when the door is closed.

  Next, a third guidance display method using the front passenger guidance device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In the third guidance display method described below, the door opening / closing control board includes a dimming circuit for LED, and the dimming circuit controls the voltage with periodicity, thereby guiding the door. It is possible to change the brightness | luminance of LED provided in the indicators 43-45 gradually and gradually.

  According to the third guidance display method, as in the first guidance display method, the front passenger guidance device 1 is turned off when the front door 11 is closed, and the front door 11 is opened. When the signal to be issued is issued, the door opening / closing control board turns on the guidance display 43. At this time, the door opening / closing control board gradually increases the luminance of the guide display 43 by the dimming circuit. Thereafter, the door opening / closing control board turns on the guidance display 44 at a timing delayed by a predetermined waiting time (for example, 0.5 seconds) from the guidance display 43, and similarly increases the luminance gradually. Further, the door opening / closing control board similarly turns on the guidance display 45 at a timing delayed by a predetermined waiting time from the guidance display 44, and gradually increases the luminance. In any of the guidance indicators 43 to 45, after the voltage is increased and the luminance is increased over a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds), the luminance is gradually decreased by the dimming circuit of the door opening / closing control board. Will be turned off. When a predetermined waiting time has elapsed, the light is turned on again and the luminance is gradually increased, and then the luminance is gradually decreased and turned off. One cycle from turning on to turning off is performed over a predetermined blinking time (for example, 1.5 seconds) based on the control of the light control circuit. Thereafter, while the front door 11 is opened, the guidance indicators 43 to 45 of the front passenger guidance apparatus 1 continue to repeat this cycle. Thereby, the front passenger guidance device 1 performs the light emission display that looks as if the light emitting portion smoothly moves in the order of the guidance indicators 43 to 45. Since the control when the front door 11 is closed is the turn-off interlocked with the closing of the front door 11 as in the first guidance display method, the detailed description is omitted.

  As described above, according to the front passenger guide device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of guide display portions 43 to 49 are provided at steps 22 and 23 and steps 20 and 21 of the bus 10, respectively. The guidance display unit can alert the passenger by changing the LED of the light emitting unit from the unlit state to the lit state. As a result, when the passenger moves in the vehicle for getting off the vehicle, the passenger can know the presence of a step and the boarding / alighting point at which the user should get off by looking at the feet, not the height, and can move safely and smoothly.

  Further, according to the front passenger guidance device 1, the guidance display units 43 to 45 are changed from the guidance display unit 43 provided in the step uppermost part 28 to the guidance display unit 44 provided in the step upper stage 29 and the step lower stage 30. The LED is lit in order from the far side from the front entrance 8 to the near side to the provided guidance display unit 45, which suggests the direction of travel to the passengers. Thereby, the passenger who gets off can intuitively grasp that the passenger should move toward the front entrance 8.

  The bus 10 has steps 20, 21 on the passenger compartment floor 4 due to restrictions on the vehicle body structure. The guide display parts 43 to 49 are all provided at the step of the passenger compartment floor 4 and the protruding part of the step, and improve the visibility of the step and the step. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a passenger from falling over due to a step or a step or stepping in the sky.

  Moreover, according to the front passenger guide device 1, the guide display parts 43 to 49 have a strip shape substantially parallel to the ridge line part of the protruding part, and clearly show the position and shape of each provided step. Thus, the visibility of a step or the like can be improved.

  Moreover, according to the front passenger guide device 1, the boarding / exiting gate for getting on or off can be shown more clearly according to the display states of the guidance display parts 43 to 48 provided at steps 22 and 23. Further, it is possible to make a passenger who has been waiting for a ride at a bus stop or the like to recognize the front entrance 8 as an entrance for getting off. Similarly, the rear passenger entrance 9 can be recognized as a boarding entrance for passengers by the guidance display of the rear passenger guidance device 2. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a passenger from getting mixed from the traffic line by mistakenly trying to get on from the front entrance 8 or getting off from the rear entrance 9.

  Moreover, according to the front passenger guidance device 1, the guidance display parts 43-49 can change a display state by light emission of LED. In addition, the LED can be easily downsized, the guide display portion can be prevented from being enlarged, and the processing on the passenger compartment floor can be kept extremely small.

  In addition, embodiment of this invention is not limited to said structure, As shown below, it can change variously.

  In the above embodiment, the guidance indicators 43 to 49 are disposed at the steps 22 and 23 and the steps 20 and 21, but may be disposed at other portions in the vehicle interior. The display unit may be disposed on the flat floor surface of the front passenger compartment floor 17.

  In the above embodiment, the bus 10 has two steps 22 and 23 at the entrances 8 and 9, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and stepped steps are provided at the entrances and exits. The so-called non-step bus which is not provided may be provided with the passenger guidance device of the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the passengers get on from the rear entrance 9 and receive the numbered ticket. When the passenger gets off, the fare is settled and the passenger gets off from the front entrance 8. It is not limited to the above, and it is also possible to use “front ride prepayment” in which the user gets on the front entrance and exits, puts a fixed fare into the fare box, and gets off from the rear entrance when getting off. In the case of “front-paid prepayment”, the rear passenger guide device 2 near the rear entrance / exit 9 guides passengers to get off, and the front passenger guide device 1 near the front entrance / exit 8 guides passengers to get on. In order to make the bus 10 correspond to “prepaid prepayment”, the front passenger guidance device 1 is used for boarding guidance by changing the connection of the wiring 52 with almost the same equipment configuration as in the case of “postpay prepayment”, Since the rear passenger guidance device 2 can be used for getting-off guidance, the passenger guidance device can be easily adapted according to the operation method of each bus or bus operator.

  In the above-described embodiment, the entrance / exit is provided at two places on the left and right sides of the bus 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the entrance / exit has only one entrance / exit. It may also be provided with three or more locations. When there is only one boarding gate, for example, a sightseeing bus, when the passenger has already boarded, when the door opens, the guidance for getting off is displayed, and when the passenger is not boarding, the boarding guidance is displayed. You may make it display. In this case, the driver may change the guidance display according to the passenger's boarding situation, or the boarding situation is detected by a human sensor or the like, and the boarding / You may make it select a display state according to alighting and control a passenger guidance device. When the driver operates, an appropriate guidance display can be performed according to the situation. On the other hand, when the control is performed by the human sensor, it is possible to save time and effort of the driver.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the light emitting unit 43a is provided with the guide display unit 43 in which three light emitting units 43a are arranged in a horizontal row. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration of the guide display unit 43 is variously changed. can do. For example, three light emitting portions 43a may be arranged in parallel in three rows on the base material 43b one by one. According to this configuration, since the light emitting units 43a are arranged in three rows, even when only one guide display unit 43 is provided, the light emitting units 43a are arranged in order from the rear to the front or from the front to the rear. By changing the light emission state, guidance display suggesting the direction of movement of the passenger can be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the guide display units 43 to 48 are made to emit light by the LED 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the guide display unit may be a filament type light bulb or a cold cathode tube as a light source. You may make it light-emit. Moreover, it is not limited to what changes a display state by turning on / off of LED50, You may change luminescent color. If the light emission color of the front passenger guide device 1 and the light emission color of the rear passenger guide device 2 are different, the entrance / exit can be more easily distinguished.

  In the above embodiment, the LED substrate 53 on which the LED 50 is mounted is disposed below the light guide 51. However, the positional relationship between the LED 50 and the light guide 51 is limited to this. Instead, various modifications are possible. For example, the LED 50 may be disposed at the longitudinal end portion of the light guide 51, and light may be incident from the LED 50 toward the longitudinal direction of the light guide 51. In this case, the LEDs 50 may be arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the light guide 51 so that light enters from the both ends of the light guide 51 toward the longitudinal direction of the light guide 51. Thereby, the guidance display parts 43-49 can be made into the simpler structure which reduced the quantity of LED50. Further, since it is not necessary to dispose the LED substrate 53 below the light guide 51, the height dimensions of the guide display portions 43 to 49 can be reduced and made thinner.

  In the above embodiment, the front passenger guidance device 1 and the rear passenger guidance device 2 are interlocked by the door opening / closing switch operated by the driver. However, the control is performed by another control method. May be. For example, the bus 10 is equipped with GPS, the control unit of the passenger guidance device acquires position information from the GPS, the display state of the passenger guidance device changes based on the approach to the stop, and the passenger approaches the stop. You may make it alert | report to. Alternatively, the light emission state may be changed based on a wireless communication signal from a stop or the like.

  Further, the control method for turning on and off the LEDs may be controlled by different patterns. For example, the guide display units 43 to 45 may blink at the same timing. It is not limited to the embodiment. Similarly, when the luminance is adjusted by the dimming circuit, the luminance increase / decrease pattern is not limited to the above embodiment. Moreover, you may make it the guidance display parts 43-45 change the luminescent color of LED during operation | movement. For example, by changing the display rate of the guidance display section between the terminal station bus stop and other general bus stops by changing the luminance change rate and emission color, and using it so that passengers can easily see the stop point Can do.
