Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a passenger guidance system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The passenger guidance system 100 includes an operation management device 3 that manages train operations, a passenger guidance display device 4, a predicted congestion information calculation processing device (hereinafter simply referred to as "calculation processing device") 5, and a display 6. ing. The operation management device 3, the passenger guidance display device 4, and the arithmetic processing device 5 are installed in an operation management command station or the like, and the respective devices are connected to each other via a transmission path 2 in the command station.

  The on-board device 10 mounted on the train 1 is, for example, a train information management device, an on-board wireless device, a train security device, or the like. The on-board device 10 generates on-line information 10a including the position information, speed information, type, ID, on-board equipment status information, and the like of the train 1, and the generated on-line information 10a includes, for example, an on-board wireless device and a ground It is received by the operation management device 3 via the radio base station. The transmission method of the on-line information 10a may be wired or wireless.

  The position information included in the standing line information 10a is obtained, for example, by accumulating the speed information from the speed generator with the position where the ID of the ground unit (not shown) installed on the rail 9 is detected as an absolute position. It is done.

  The operation management device 3 manages the operation of the train 1 based on the on-line information 10a transmitted from the train 1 and the operation diagram. For example, when the operation management device 3 detects that the train 1 is approaching the station 7 based on the on-line information 10a, the operation management device 3 refers to the operation diagram, and the operation information 16 of the train 1 (for example, the type of train 1, destination, stop) Station, arrival time, departure time, etc.). And the specified operation information 16 and the track information 10a from the train 1 are output as the operation management information 3a.

  Passenger information that passes through the passenger detection device 8 is collected at a passenger detection device 8 (for example, a ticket gate) installed at each station. The collected information is, for example, information such as a boarding ticket, a commuter pass, the number of passengers entering the station premises, the number of passengers entering from the station premises, and these information are stored in the arithmetic processing unit 5 as passenger information 8a. Sent.

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the arithmetic processing apparatus according to the first embodiment. The arithmetic processing device 5 includes a passenger information input unit 51 and a predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 as main components. In the passenger information input part 51, passenger information 8a transmitted from the plurality of passenger detection devices 8 is collected and output as passenger information 51a for each station.

  Based on the passenger information 51a and the operation information 16 included in the operation management information 3a, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 is congested until the train 1 arriving at each station leaves the station and arrives at the final station. One or a plurality of congestion sections predicted to be performed and the congestion degree predicted in the sections are obtained, and the congestion section and the congestion degree are associated with each other and output as the predicted congestion information 5a.

  This will be specifically described. The predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 collates the train type, destination, stop station, arrival time, departure time, and the like included in the operation information 16 with the passenger information 51a. When the passenger information 51a is information related to a commuter pass, for example, it is assumed that a passenger who has entered the station gets on the assumption that the train 1 arrives at the station of the regular section designated by the passenger information 51a first. Predicting the predicted train, the number of passengers expected to get on the train, the station where passengers who get on the train are expected to get off, the number of people getting off at the station, etc. To do.

  Based on these prediction information, for example, the number of passengers predicted from the first station to the last station in the regular section is compared with the number of passengers predicted from the first station to the last station in the regular section. Calculate the predicted congestion level. Further, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 obtains a predicted congestion level between the stations from the first station to the last station in the regular section. For example, assuming that the regular section is A to E station, the predicted congestion level is lower than the congestion level threshold for determining the congestion level in the section from station A to station C, and in the section from station C to station E. When the predicted congestion level is higher than the congestion level threshold, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 indicates that the predicted congestion level in the section from station A to station C is “low” and the predicted congestion level in the section from station C to station E is “ "High". Then, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 associates the thus obtained congestion section with the congestion level and outputs it as the predicted congestion information 5a.

  In addition, when the passenger information 51a is information related to a boarding ticket or a coupon ticket, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 is the train 1 that arrives at the station of the section with the maximum amount from the station from which the passenger information 51a is transmitted. Assuming that passengers get on, the number of passengers getting off and the number of passengers at the station of the section of the maximum amount is estimated.

  In addition, when the passenger information 51a is information related to an IC card with no section designation, the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 counts as the number of passengers in the station premises, and the number of passengers in the station premises is set to a threshold (congestion). If the number of passengers exceeds this threshold, the predicted congestion is calculated for the predicted congestion of the next train 1 that arrives. Increase the degree by a certain percentage.

  FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the passenger guidance display device according to the first embodiment. The passenger guidance display device 4 includes a predicted congestion information management unit 44 and an information distribution unit 43. In order to display the predicted congestion information 5a for each station where the train 1 arrives, the predicted congestion information management unit 44 refers to, for example, the type, destination, stop station, and arrival time of the train 1 included in the operation information 16 The station where the train arrives is selected, and the station-specific predicted congestion information 44a in which the selected station is associated with the predicted congestion information 5a is output to the information distribution unit 43. The information distribution unit 43 refers to the station identification information given to the station-specific predicted congestion information 44a, and distributes the station-specific predicted congestion information 44a as passenger guidance display information 4a to the station.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display example of passenger guidance display information by the passenger guidance system according to the first embodiment. As shown in the example, the display 6 is divided into, for example, a train scheduled to arrive at station A and a train scheduled to arrive at station A next to that train. The congestion status for each section until arrival at the station is displayed. The congestion status may be text information such as “congested”, “slightly crowded”, “no congestion”, or a symbol that can intuitively identify the congestion status.

  The display content of the display 6 is updated at a predetermined cycle. Since the predicted congestion information calculation unit 52 (FIG. 2) calculates the predicted congestion information 5a based on the latest operation information 16, the predicted congestion information 5a is updated in real time even when a train delay occurs due to bad weather, for example. The updated information is displayed on the display 6 at a predetermined cycle.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of congested sections, the display unit 6 may be configured to display the congested sections while being switched at a predetermined cycle (for example, an interval of 5 seconds), or two or more of them may be displayed simultaneously. You may comprise as follows.

  In the prior art, since the information on the passenger's boarding / exiting section is not held, the congested section cannot be recognized, and the congested section and the degree of congestion of the section can be provided to the passenger like the display 6 of the present invention. Can not. In addition, since the conventional technology cannot predict the degree of congestion or the congestion section predicted at the station where the train travels, when a train delay occurs, passengers waiting for the train at the station will be crowded Even if it can be predicted, it cannot be predicted that the congestion level will change at any station after the station. Therefore, it is difficult for a passenger who waits for the train 1 at the station to determine whether or not to get on the next arriving train by predicting the degree of congestion.

  In the passenger guidance system 100 according to the present embodiment, predicted congestion information (congestion level and congestion section) predicted at the destination of a train can be predicted and displayed on the display 6 in real time. It is possible to support decision making in selecting a train to board.

  In this embodiment, the configuration example in which the congestion degree and the congestion interval are calculated as the predicted congestion information has been described. However, the congestion degree or the congestion interval may be calculated as the predicted congestion information.

  That is, the arithmetic processing unit 5 obtains and outputs a predicted congestion degree predicted at the destination of the train based on the passenger information 8a and the operation information 16 collected by the passenger detection device 8 installed at the station. The passenger guidance display device 4 selects the station where the train stops based on the operation information 16, and displays the passenger guidance display information in which the selected station is associated with the predicted congestion level on the display 6 provided at the station. You may comprise so that it may display.

  Further, the arithmetic processing unit 5 obtains and outputs a predicted congestion area predicted at the destination of the train based on the passenger information 8a and the operation information 16 collected by the passenger detection device 8 installed at the station. The passenger guidance display device 4 selects the station where the train stops based on the operation information 16, and displays the passenger guidance display information in which the selected station is associated with the predicted congestion section on the indicator 6 provided in the station. You may comprise so that it may display.

  As described above, the passenger guidance system 100 according to the present embodiment manages the on-line information 10a and the operation schedule transmitted from the train, and outputs the operation information 16 including the type of the train and the on-line information 10a. On the basis of the passenger information 8a and the operation information 16 collected by the operation management device 3 and the passenger detection device 8 installed in the station, the predicted congestion degree predicted at the destination of the train, and the destination of the train The predicted congestion information calculation processing device 5 that obtains and outputs the predicted congestion section predicted in (1) and the station where the train stops based on the operation information 16 are selected, and the selected station is associated with the predicted congestion level, Passenger guidance display device 4 that displays on the display 6 provided in the station the passenger guidance display information that associates the selected station with the predicted congestion section. With this configuration, it is possible to provide the passenger with the congestion degree and the congestion section of the train that are updated in real time, so that it is possible to support decision making in selecting a train on which the passenger gets.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of the passenger guidance display device according to the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that a standing line information input unit 41 and a predicted required time calculation unit 42 are used instead of the predicted congestion information management unit 44 of the passenger guidance display device 4. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted, and only different parts will be described here.

  The passenger guidance display device 4 shown in FIG. 5 includes a standing line information input unit 41, a predicted required time calculation unit 42, and an information distribution unit 43.

  The operating line information input unit 41 collects the operation management information 3a and outputs it as the on-line information 41a for each train.

  The estimated required time calculation unit 42 is based on the on-line information 10a for each train included in the on-line information 41a for each train and the operation information 16, from the current position of the running train to the next station where the train stops. Based on the distance and the current speed of the train, an estimated required time 42a that is predicted until the train arrives at the station is calculated. The predicted required time 42a is calculated for each station and for each train scheduled to arrive at the station, and the predicted required time 42a is based on the operation information 16, such as the type of train, the destination of the train, the destination station, etc. Is granted. The estimated required time 42a may be, for example, a minute unit or a second unit.

  The information distribution unit 43 refers to the station identification information given to the estimated required time 42a, and distributes the estimated required time 42a as passenger guidance display information 4a to the station.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of passenger guidance display information by the passenger guidance system according to the second embodiment. As shown in the example, the display 6 is divided into, for example, a train scheduled to arrive at station A and a train scheduled to arrive at station A next to the train. The estimated time required to do is displayed.

  The display content of the display 6 is updated at a predetermined cycle. In the predicted required time 42a (FIG. 5), the predicted required time 42a is calculated based on the latest track information 10a. For example, even when a train delay occurs, the predicted required time 42a is updated in real time for each station and each train. The updated information is displayed on the display unit 6 at a predetermined cycle. Since the estimated required time 42a varies in real time, for example, even when “5 minutes 00 seconds” is initially displayed, it may be shortened to “4 minutes 50 seconds” depending on the operation status of the train. If there is, it may be extended like “6 minutes and 10 seconds”.

  When a time delay occurs, the current speed and travel position of the train included in the operation information 16 are not used in the past, so the time required for the time adjustment, for example, “15 minutes remaining” is roughly displayed. I could only do it. Even when such a display is performed, the actual position of the train is not reflected in real time in the required time, and thus there is a tendency for the deviation from the actual required time to increase. Therefore, it is a great stress for passengers waiting for a train in determining whether to wait for a train or to use another route for transfer transportation.

  As described above, the passenger guidance system 100 according to the present embodiment manages the on-line information 10a and the operation schedule transmitted from the train, and outputs the operation information 16 including the type of the train and the on-line information 10a. Based on the operation management device 3 to be operated, the on-line information 10a and the operation information 16, the estimated time required for the train to arrive at the stop station is obtained, and the station at which the train stops is selected and selected. A passenger guidance display device 4 that displays passenger guidance display information in which a station is associated with an estimated required time on a display 6 provided in the station. With this configuration, the estimated required time updated in real time can be provided to the passenger, so that it is possible to support the passenger's decision making when a diagram delay occurs.

  Note that the embodiment of the present invention shows an example of the contents of the present invention, and can be combined with another known technique, and a part thereof is not deviated from the gist of the present invention. Of course, it is possible to change the configuration such as omission.

  As described above, the present invention is applicable to a passenger guidance system, and is particularly useful as an invention that can provide passenger guidance information in real time.
