FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an input screen of the data verification input / output unit in the equipment data management apparatus. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a data verification result in the facility data management apparatus.
The data verification step in the equipment data management apparatus 100 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in the data verification input / output unit 102, a verification target input screen 701 including a site name and search target data is set using the input screen shown in FIG. 7, and predetermined data is input to the condition setting input screen 702 (S601). . For example, in the verification target input screen 701, the site name “A line” to be inspected is input, and the data to be searched is input as “screen” and “facility”.

  In the condition setting 702, “B station”, “traffic light”, “1R”, and “equal” are uniquely set. On the inspection object input screen 701 and the condition setting input screen 702 in the data verification input / output unit 102, data for verifying the function of the monitoring / control device or the control device is input. By this condition setting, the presence / absence of the function “equal to 1R traffic light at station B” included in the screen data and the facility data is verified.

  The screen data or the equipment data can be defined in either the screen data key 406 or the equipment data key 502 of the screen data input screen 400 or the equipment data input screen 500, as shown in FIG. . For example, in the condition setting input screen 702, “1R” is “signal”, but in the screen data input screen 400, “1R” is defined as “replacement signal” in more detail.

In the condition setting shown in FIG. 7B, for example, “B station and traffic signal and 1R are equal” or “C station and traffic signal and 1R are equal” are described. Accordingly, “1R” “signal” at “B station” and “C station” corresponds. Here, “equal” means “traffic light” defined as “1R” and does not include equivalent products.
Further, in the condition setting shown in FIG. 7C, for example, “equal to B station” can be described in order to verify whether or not an equipment group existing at a specific station is defined in the screen data. That is, the equipment group in “B station” corresponds.

Next, the data verification input / output unit 102 inputs the input data on the verification target input screen 701 and the condition setting input screen 702 to the data verification execution unit 106 (S602).
Based on the input data in the verification target input screen 701 and the condition setting input screen 702, the data verification execution unit 106 sets the screen data holding unit 104 or the equipment data holding unit 105 to the screen data key 406 (see FIG. 4) or the equipment data key. A search is performed at 502 (see FIG. 5) (S603), and the search result is stored in the data verification result holding unit 107 (S604).

  For example, in the case of “equal to B station and traffic light 1R”, the equipment data key 502 (see FIG. 5) is “002” for the station code, “B station” for the station name, equipment type No. “2”, equipment type name “guidance signal”, equipment name “1R”, that is, a new key is set, and screen data output is performed by searching the screen data holding unit 104 with the key. As shown on screen 410, screen no. And get the screen name.

  Thus, for example, by listing all the induction traffic lights among the 1R traffic lights at station B, the number of 1R induction traffic lights defined by the equipment data key 502 can be grasped, and there are multiple types of 1R traffic lights. It is possible to verify the range of influence on other traffic signals in the refurbishment of the 1R induction traffic signal. In other words, it is possible to verify the range of influence when equipment is renovated.

  Further, in the case of “equal to B station”, the station name of the screen data key 406 (see FIG. 4A) and the equipment data key 502 (see FIG. 5A) is “B station”, and the screen data holding unit By searching 104 and the facility data holding unit 105, the number of facilities defined by the facility data and the screen data is acquired.

  Further, as described above, the data verification result holding unit 107 is “equal to B station and traffic light and 1R” or “equal to C station and traffic light and 1R” in order to verify the influence range when the equipment is repaired. When the verification is executed by setting the conditions, an output result 801 is output as shown in FIG. 8 (S605). The output result 801 indicates that the 1R traffic lights at the B station and the C station are defined on the screen 1 and the screen 3, respectively. That is, the screen name on the screen data output screen 410 in FIG. 4B is output.

  In addition, as described above, when verification is executed by setting the condition “equal to B station” in order to verify whether the equipment group existing in a specific station is defined on the screen, As shown in FIG. 8, an output result 802 is output (S605). In the output result 802, the “total number” of equipment held in the equipment data holding unit and the screen data holding unit at “B station” and the numbers such as “signal” and “track circuit” are described. In “total”, screen data “305” is “5” less than equipment data “310”, and the breakdown of “5” is “2” for traffic lights, “2” for track circuits, and so on. Yes.

  Next, when the screen data or the equipment data needs to be repaired (Yes in S606), either the screen data or the equipment data to be repaired is input (S607). In the example described above, it is necessary to repair the corresponding equipment of the screen data. If no repair is necessary, the process ends (No in S606).

  According to the present embodiment, monitoring / control devices or control devices in a train operation management system are delivered from different suppliers at different times, and even when facilities are added or changed, monitoring is performed as in the past. -It is not necessary to perform a combination test between the control device and the control device, and the correctness of the screen data or the facility data can be easily verified, and the influence range can be grasped.
