Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle operation business support technology that supports a work or the like for returning a change in vehicle operation associated with operation arrangement when a transportation failure occurs to the original planned operation.

In order to perform safe and smooth operation of trains in rail transportation, it is necessary to allocate trains (trains) to train schedules so that they can be operated as trains. Such a vehicle use plan is referred to as vehicle operation, and is generally created in a cycle of one day. Basically, each operation is repeated in a cycle of, for example, one month, and is planned so that inspection and the like can be carried out periodically, which is called planned operation.
However, when the train operation is disturbed due to a vehicle failure, an accident, a disaster, or the like, operation arrangement is performed by appropriately changing the diagram and returning the train operation to normal. This driving arrangement will greatly change the vehicle operation from the plan. Depending on how the change is made, it may occur that the diamond restoration is delayed or that it takes time to restore the operation after the diamond restoration.

  Conventionally, when the train operation is disturbed, an invention as disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 has been proposed with regard to operation arrangement for appropriately changing the diagram and returning the train operation to normal operation. There is a possibility that a change in the vehicle operation occurs due to the driving arrangement, and that it is impossible to execute the work inspection and the alternation inspection that must be performed by a predetermined date. Therefore, it is necessary to return the changed vehicle operation to the planned operation after the diamond restoration.

  If a vehicle that cannot be entered due to a non-inspection of the vehicle to be inspected or a difference in vehicle type occurs during the day after the restoration of the schedule, the operation supervisor and the vehicle ward location on the vehicle placement ward (vehicle base) I asked the Transportation Directive to change the vehicle operation to avoid it. In the case of two or more types of cars in one line, it is necessary to change the operation to return the car type to the original plan. Furthermore, in the case of a line section where there are two or more vehicle placement wards or the like (vehicle bases), it is also necessary to change the operation for returning the respective belonging vehicle to the original vehicle placement ward. In addition, the vehicle operation change method performed on the day includes replacement after entering the ward, return change at the return station, vehicle replacement, and the like. In addition, “vehicle type” generally means a difference in the type of vehicle, but in this specification, a term indicating a different knitting form such as the number of vehicles connected (for example, a 5-car train and a 10-car train). Use as

Japanese Patent No. 4670081

Conventionally, this operation return has been performed by manual work, and there has been a problem of requiring a great deal of labor and time. Specifically, in operation return, first of all, the contents of the operation plan (operation change instruction) sent from the transportation instruction by FAX etc. to the train diagram at the vehicle placement ward etc. (vehicle base) responsible for the operation of the vehicle It starts from filling in and grasping the operation and organization of the vehicle. Thereafter, the vehicle placement ward will make a plan to return to the original planned operation by replacing the vehicle after entering the ward ward in order to match the inspection schedule and the like after the next day.
The “knitting” means a combination of a plurality of vehicles, and a knitting number is given to distinguish them. In addition, “operation” is a daily operation schedule of a composition unit, and an operation number is given to distinguish them.

  When returning to planned operation, if two trains are combined in a line with more than two vehicle types (for example, 5-car train and 10-car train) in the first track, they are combined (15-car train). If the operation is changed while the knitting that is not combined and is not divided, the useless division work and the combination work can be avoided. However, when managed in organization units, even if the organizations are combined, each organization is assigned to a different operation on the system, so the combination cannot be recognized using the operation number as an index. . As a result, there is a problem that it is not possible to make a proposal to change the operation while the two organizations are combined.

  Also, during busy periods such as a period in which holidays are consecutive, temporary operations may be created in addition to planned operations by the vehicle management planning system. On the other hand, in a line with more than two types of cars (for example, a 5-car train and a 10-car train) in one line, the vehicle ward station duty (operation instruction) that has received the plan for temporary operation assigns the train assigned to the temporary operation. To determine, it is necessary to determine whether the temporary operation is a 10-car train (hereinafter referred to as a basic train), a 5-car train (hereinafter referred to as an accessory train), or a combined train (15-car train). There is.

  However, since the vehicle management planning system, which is a higher system, is responsible for the operation plan of multiple line sections, the classification (operations) such as basic trains and accessory trains for the line sections that exist in two or more types in one line section There is a case where information on temporary operation is created without specifying a group and is passed to the vehicle ward duty (operation instruction). As a result, when a business support system is built that uses a computer to support the work of a vehicle ward office duty (operations mandate), the computer receives information on temporary operations (operating routes and trains) if no measures are taken. It was revealed that there was a problem that it was difficult to determine the organization to be allocated to the temporary operation because the classification of the organization could not be grasped from the number).

  In addition, special operations that run continuously across the day, such as a year-end and new-year operation train, may be included in the temporary operation by the vehicle management planning system. An operation number that can be distinguished from the operation is assigned. However, when a business support system for vehicle ward office duty (operation instruction) is built, it is necessary to divide the operation that runs across the day into two according to the day of travel in order to perform the management process in the system rationally. There is. However, if one operation is divided into two and the original operation number is used as it is for the next day's operation number, it may overlap with other temporary operation operation numbers set by the vehicle management planning system. There arises a problem that rational management may not be performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and it is possible to automatically determine the classification of a composition (basic composition, accessory composition, etc.) to be applied to the special operation from information on the special operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle operation work support apparatus.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle operation work support apparatus capable of performing rational management even when a special operation that continuously travels across days is planned.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides:
A vehicle operation business support device that includes an arithmetic processing unit and a storage device, and manages vehicle operation based on vehicle operation data related to a vehicle operation plan stored in the storage device,
The operation of the vehicle includes operation for each formation and operation in a state in which a plurality of formations are combined, and temporary operation not included in the basic operation plan,
The temporary operation data supplied from the outside includes train information and route information indicating that the trains are in a combined state in which two or more trains are combined.
The arithmetic processing unit includes:
Recognizing means for recognizing that the temporary operation is an operation by a combined train based on the train information included in the temporary operation data, and a traveling direction front side of the combined train based on the route information Or it comprises so that it may have a classification judgment means for judging the classification of the organization to be set on the rear side.
According to the above configuration, it is possible to recognize whether or not to operate as a combined train based on temporary operation data, and in the case of a combined train, set to the front side and the rear side in the traveling direction. The organization classification (vehicle type and operation group) to be organized can be automatically determined.

Here, preferably, the arithmetic processing unit is configured to include an operation arrangement plan creation unit capable of proposing an organization to be allocated to the temporary operation according to a determination result by the classification determination unit.
According to such a configuration, it is possible to automatically propose the organization to be allocated to the temporary operation and complete the change of the operation plan including the temporary operation in a short time.

Preferably, the arithmetic processing unit includes:
Based on the vehicle operation data, the operation axis edit processing means for editing the operation diagram in which the vertical axis takes a plurality of station names and the horizontal axis takes time to represent the operation of each train,
The operation diagram edit processing means is configured to be able to generate an operation diagram in which the operation of the temporary operation train is represented by a line based on the temporary operation data.
According to such a configuration, the operation line of the temporary train can be displayed on the operation diagram screen even before the organization to be allocated to the temporary operation is determined, and the position of the operation of the temporary train with respect to the entire diagram can be grasped. It becomes easy. Moreover, the process which sets the organization allocated to temporary operation from the screen of an operation diagram can be performed by selecting the operation line of a temporary train.

Furthermore, preferably, comprising a display processing means for displaying on the display device the operation diagram including the operation line of the temporary operation train edited by the operation diagram editing processing means,
The recognizing means determines whether or not the temporary operation is an operation by a combined train when the operation line of the temporary operation train is selected while the operation diagram is displayed,
The classification judging means is set to the front side or the rear side in the traveling direction of the train in the combined state based on the route information included in the data of the temporary operation for the temporary operation determined to be a train in the combined state by the recognizing means. It is configured to determine the classification of the organization to be performed.
According to such a configuration, the temporary operation is selected on the operation diagram screen, whether or not the temporary operation train should be operated as a combined train, and in the case of a combined train, the front side and the rear side in the traveling direction. Since the organization classification (vehicle type and operation group) to be set on the side can be determined, the organization assigned to the temporary operation can be easily determined.

Preferably, the temporary operation data further includes time information,
The arithmetic processing unit is recognized as day-to-day operation by means for recognizing day-to-day operation that travels beyond a predetermined time at night based on the time information included in the temporary operation data. The temporary operation is divided into two operations at a predetermined time, and the operation of the next day among the divided operations is provided with means for assigning a new operation number with an identification code added thereto.

  According to the above configuration, when a special operation that runs continuously across days is planned, one temporary operation is automatically divided into two operations and set as a separate operation for two days. In addition, since it is possible to avoid setting the same operation number on the same day, rational management can be performed. Also, by dividing one operation into two operations, if the same operation number is set on the same day, a function to check the operation number is provided, and if a duplicate number is found, the number is It can be configured to call attention by displaying on the display device that there is a setting error.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the vehicle operation work support apparatus which can determine automatically the operation group (basic organization, auxiliary organization, etc.) which should be applied to the temporary operation from the information regarding temporary operation is realizable. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to realize a vehicle operation work support apparatus that can perform rational management even when special operations that run continuously across days are planned.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle operation work support apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an example of a system using the vehicle operation work support apparatus of this embodiment.
The vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 includes a processing execution control unit 110 configured by an arithmetic processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). A data storage unit 120, an input processing unit 131 that processes input from an input operation device such as a keyboard 141 and a mouse 142, a display processing unit 132 that displays an image on a display device 143 such as a liquid crystal panel, and data between them. The bus 133 is connected so as to be able to transmit and receive data. In the present embodiment, the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100, the input operation devices (141, 142), and the display device 143 constitute a vehicle operation work support system.

  In this embodiment, the process execution control unit 110 includes an operation table editing processing unit 111 having a function of creating and changing an operation table based on vehicle operation data, and an operation diagram editing having a function of creating and changing an operation diagram. Management unit 112, operation sequence table editing processing unit 113 having a function to create or change an operation sequence table, operation organizing unit 114 having a function to change vehicle operation, and management of work plans and results such as work inspection and alternation inspection A functional unit such as a work management unit 115 such as a work inspection is provided.

The data storage unit 120 also includes a program storage unit 121 that stores a vehicle operation organization support program executed by the process execution control unit 110, a vehicle operation data storage unit 122 that stores vehicle operation data serving as a basis for vehicle operation, Operation table data storage unit 123 that stores operation table data generated based on vehicle operation data, work result management data storage unit 124 that stores operation result data such as work inspections and alternation inspections assigned in the operation table, etc. Is provided.
Here, the “work inspection” is an inspection that is performed at a short cycle of, for example, every 2-6 days, and inspects a device that is indispensable for driving, such as a current collector, a carriage, and a brake, without removing the vehicle from operation. It is an inspection. “Alternative inspection” is performed at a longer cycle (for example, 30 days) than the industrial inspection, and is an inspection performed without disassembling the vehicle as in the industrial inspection. Done.

  The vehicle operation data includes the daily operation schedule (train number, train type, destination, train number, and train number) of all trains under management, that is, all trains belonging to the target vehicle base. (Information such as arrival time, station departure time, number of lines used, etc.) for each station). Basic operation data is created by the vehicle management planning system, which is a system separate from the vehicle operation business support system. Stored in the data storage unit 122 in advance. Also, operations such as work inspections and police inspections are assigned in the operation. Here, “knitting” means a combination of a plurality of vehicles, and a knitting number is assigned to distinguish them. The “train number” is a number assigned to distinguish trains on a timetable (diamond). The vehicle operation data stored in the vehicle operation data storage unit 122 includes basic operation data in which rotation of each train is set, planned operation data in which a use schedule is set with a date, changed operation data due to transportation disruption, etc. These data are stored without being overwritten.

In the present embodiment, the vehicle operation data stored in the vehicle operation data storage unit 122 and the operation table data stored in the operation table data storage unit 123 include T06D (front) or T06D (rear) regarding the combined formation. As described above, the train specified by the train number is a combined train in which two trains such as a 15-car train are joined together. Further, the operation table data includes information indicating the merged work for merging the two trains and their locations (vehicle bases, stations, etc.), and the division work for dividing the merged knitting and the information representing the locations thereof.
In the description of this embodiment, the 15-car train refers to a combination of 10 car trains and 5 car trains (connected), and is referred to as a joint train. In addition, a 10-car train in a divided state that is not combined is called a “basic train”, and a 5-car train is called an “attached train”. Whether the “basic train” and the “attached train” are combined or divided This determination is called “pair recognition”.

As described above, if the train number T06D (front) or T06D (rear) is described for each of the combined trains, the other trainer examines the operation table data using the train number as an index. Can be found.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the knitting number assigned to each knitting not only in the ward but also between the wards in the line ward (route) where the knitting belonging to the plurality of vehicle arrangement ward (vehicle bases) is operated. It can also be applied to the case where the organizations belonging to different wards are combined and operated on the condition that there is no overlap.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of an operation table generated by the operation table editing processing unit 111 and a screen for displaying the table.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the operation table, the organization numbers A01, A02, A03... To be operated are sequentially described in the left vertical column, the dates are sequentially described in the upper horizontal column, Operation numbers # 1, # 2, # 3,... Are described at positions (columns) where the column and the horizontal column intersect. Operation with a black circle (●) on the square means that work inspection is set on that day. FIG. 2 is a basic planned operation table. As can be seen from this figure, operation numbers # 1, # 2, # 3,... Assigned.

Although not particularly limited, the present embodiment is configured so that different operations can be assigned to each organization in the first half (morning) and second half (afternoon) of the day. ing. In FIG. 2, “# 3 / # 9” indicates that the operation is different between the first half and the second half.
In addition, an upper part of the operation table display screen shown in FIG. 2 is provided in the work menu column WMC. In this work menu column WMC, other displays such as “operation diagram” and “operation order table” are displayed. “Switch display” button DB for switching, “Switch operation group” button GB for switching the operation group, “Date switch” button CB for switching the date, “Operation batch change”, “Automatic operation organizing proposal”, “ A “function” button FB for selecting a function such as “display error list” is provided.

Here, the “operation group” means a group in which the knitting is classified according to the vehicle base (A vehicle base and B vehicle base, etc.) and the vehicle type (basic knitting or auxiliary knitting, etc.) to which it belongs. In the basic setting (planned operation data), the operation order is cyclically set for each operation group.
The functions that can be selected using the “Function” button FB include “Error List Display”, “Operation Batch Change” for inputting multiple operation changes at once, and train operation and work assignment. There are “operation work allocation”, “operation arrangement plan automatic proposal”, and “work inspection management” for managing the work inspection for each execution place on a daily basis. The “operation work assignment” function can assign work such as work inspection, alternation inspection, general cleaning, planned cleaning, filth removal, and other designated work in addition to changing the operation number.

Here, a procedure for changing a work plan such as an operation return using the vehicle operation work support system of the present embodiment and a work inspection associated therewith will be described with reference to FIG.
In the operation return, first, an operation change input for reflecting, in the system, an operation change made to recover a disturbed diagram is performed (step S101). Subsequently, an operation table, an operation diagram, and an operation order table are displayed to grasp the current operation reflecting the changed contents (step S102). Thereafter, the operation change and operation allocation for operation return are individually performed manually (step S103).

  Then, in order to confirm the quality of the changed content, an error check by the system and an error list display are performed (step S104). Here, if there is no error, the change is confirmed (steps S105 → S106). However, since an error is usually included, the process returns to step S103 and the operation is changed or the work is assigned again. Or you may transfer to step S107 and may create the operation arrangement plan (step S107) using the operation arrangement automatic proposal function which the system has.

Further, instead of performing individual manual settings (step S103), an operation change plan creation proposal (step S101 → S107) may be executed immediately after the operation change input in step S101. Then, returning to step S104 again, an error check and an error list are displayed for the proposed operation arrangement plan, and an operation arrangement plan without error is created by repeating the above loop. .
Note that the operation organization automatic suggestion function in step S107 will be described in detail later, but in the operation organization automatic proposal, first, the condition input setting is performed. The conditions at that time are input according to the error check result.

Next, the operation diagram will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the operation diagram describes the station name of the operation target route on the vertical axis, the time on the horizontal axis, and the operation schedule (route) of all the trains for one day as a bar (streaks). It is represented by.
In the conventional operation diagram, only the train numbers are indicated along the lines of each train, but in this embodiment, the train numbers T01U, T02U, T03U along the lines of the respective trains; T01D, T02D, T03D ...... In addition, operation numbers # 1, # 2, # 3, and organization numbers A01, A02, A03,... Are described at the start and end points of each train, that is, at the start and end of operation. It has become so.

Note that “U” and “D” at the end of the train number are codes indicating the traveling direction of the train, such as “up” and “down” (or “north” and “south”). Although not shown in FIG. 4, for a temporary operation train, for example, a symbol such as “Temporary” or “E” is added at the beginning of the train number so that it can be distinguished from normal operation. . Further, the streaks of temporary trains may be displayed in a color different from that of other trains.
With regard to temporary operation, “front” or “rear” indicating temporary operation, operation date, operation number, train number, route (first station to end station), presence / absence of connection (position) from the vehicle management planning system Since the temporary operation information including the above information is transmitted to the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100, the information is temporarily stored in the vehicle operation data storage unit 122. Hereinafter, the temporary operation information sent first from the vehicle management planning system is referred to as initial information.

  When the operation diagram screen display request is made, the initial information regarding the temporary operation is read from the vehicle operation data storage unit 122 together with the normal operation operation table data, and the streaks of the temporary operation train are determined and displayed on the display device 143. Can be made. In the initial information stage of the temporary operation, even if it is understood that the combined organization (15 cars) is used from the “front” or “rear” information indicating the presence or absence of connection, either the front side or the rear side in the traveling direction It is unclear until the basic train (10 cars) is connected to. A method of assigning the composition to such a temporary operation will be described in detail later.

In FIG. 4, “O” means “departure (start of operation)” in which the train goes out to the track that is the route from the vehicle placement ward, etc. (vehicle base), and △ is from the track where the train is the route It means “entry (end of operation)” to enter a vehicle placement ward or the like (vehicle base).
In addition, the operation diagram of the present embodiment is based on vehicle operation data or operation table data, and a symbol (for example, a letter “combined” in □ is added to the place where the operation is performed). ) And a symbol indicating the division work (for example, a letter “minute” added in □) is written at the place where the division work is performed.
By displaying such an operation diagram, it is possible to easily grasp the relationship between each train number and operation and organization, and whether it is a combined vehicle or not.

Next, the operation order table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the operation sequence table, the operation numbers # 1, # 2, # 3,... Are written on the vertical axis, and the time is plotted on the horizontal axis. ). Also, the organization numbers A01, A02, A03... Corresponding to the operations # 1, # 2, # 3... Are listed next to the operation numbers # 1, # 2, # 3. Furthermore, the corresponding train numbers T11U, T12U, T13U... T21D, T22D, T23D. By displaying such an operation order table, it is possible to easily grasp the interrelationship between each operation and the allocation of inspections.

  In the present embodiment, the temporary operation is not displayed in the operation order table of FIG. 5 until the organization assignment is determined. However, it is also possible to display a horizontal bar with “operation” in the operation sequence table of FIG. Further, even before the allocation of the organization for the temporary operation is determined, the train number and the traveling direction can be known from the received temporary operation information. Therefore, the codes “U” and “D” for distinguishing the direction are added at the end of the train number. It can be added and displayed. Further, it is possible to select a temporary operation from the operation order table, read out the initial information of the temporary operation from the vehicle operation data storage unit 122, and set the composition allocation.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, T21U (front) and T15D (rear) indicate that the train number attached to Sao is the front side or the rear side of the combined train. . The descriptions such as T21U (front) and T15D (rear) are added based on the information of the operation table data. If such information is included in the operation table data, the operation sequence of FIG. Even if it is not written in the table, it can be recognized that the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 is the front side or the rear side of the combined train.
In FIG. 5, “O” means that the train is “departure (operation start)”, and “Δ” means that the train is “entrance (operation end)”.
Also, in the operation sequence table of FIG. 5, based on the operation table data, a symbol indicating a consolidating operation (a character in which “combined” is added in □) and a dividing operation are included in a place where the consolidating operation is performed. In the place to be performed, a symbol indicating division work (characters with “minute” added in □) is described.

Furthermore, as described above, operations such as work inspection and police inspection are also assigned to the operation. In FIG. 5, these operations are indicated by, for example, a letter “finish” in a circle. An accompanying symbol is displayed, indicating that the work is planned for that time period.
Here, the “work inspection” is an inspection that is performed at a short cycle of, for example, every 2-6 days, and inspects a device that is indispensable for driving, such as a current collector, a carriage, and a brake, without removing the vehicle from operation. It is an inspection. “Alternative inspection” is performed at a longer cycle (for example, 30 days) than the industrial inspection, and is an inspection performed without disassembling the vehicle as in the industrial inspection. Done.

2, 4, and 5, the button with the symbol DB provided in the work menu column WMC is a display switching button, and when this display switching button DB is clicked with the mouse 142, A sub-screen on which three words “operation table”, “operation diagram”, and “operation order table” are listed is displayed. When one of the three words is selected and clicked, a screen corresponding to the display device 143 is displayed. It is configured to be switched and displayed.
In addition, in the work menu column WMC of the operation diagram screen of FIG. 4, an “operation group switching” button GB or a “line section switching” button LB is provided, and when the “operation group switching” button GB is clicked, a plurality of “ When the “operation group” again clicks the “switch line section” button LB, a plurality of line section names (route names) existing in the target area such as “X line section”, “Y line section”, “Z line section”, and the like. ) Is displayed, and when one of these is selected and clicked, the display screen of the display device 143 displays the selected operation group or line section (route or part of the section thereof). It is configured to switch to the operation diagram screen.

In addition to the functions described above, the process execution control unit 110 of the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is provided with a change input function, a search function, and an operation change function.
Of these, the search function will be described first. The search can be performed on the operation diagram screen shown in FIG. 4 and the operation sequence table screen shown in FIG. Specifically, a “column number search” button SB1, an “operation search” button SB2, and an “organization search” button (only possible on the operation diagram) SB3 are provided in the menu column at the top of each screen, and the mouse 142, move the cursor to one of these buttons and click the left button of the mouse 142. A sub-screen for entering the number appears. Use the keyboard 141 to select the train number or operation number or Enter the organization number.

Then, on the operation diagram screen of FIG. 4, for example, the selected number “Streak” is highlighted with a thick line or the like, and on the operation sequence table screen of FIG. 5, the selected “train” or “operation” is displayed. A scroll process such as that displayed at the top is performed. Thereby, it is possible to quickly grasp the train to be searched and the contents of operation.
In the operation diagram screen of FIG. 4, when the mouse 142 is operated to move the cursor to one of the “streaks” and the left button of the mouse 142 is clicked, the selected “streaks” and the corresponding train number are displayed. In addition, a function may be provided so that the operation number and the organization number are highlighted in bold or the like.

In this case, the person in charge can grasp the current situation quickly and accurately.

By the way, in the above-mentioned line section in which there are two or more types of cars (for example, 10 basic trains and five accessory trains) in the above-mentioned one line segment and there are operations that run in a combined train (for example, 15-car train). As shown in FIG. 6 (A), there is a case where it is determined in advance which side the basic knitting and the accessory knitting are connected to when merging. For example, if it is determined that the basic train is to be on the top side in the operation in the X direction, the accessory organization will be in the top side in the operation in the -X direction, which is the opposite direction to X (this book In the embodiment, the symbol of one vehicle in FIG. 6A represents, for example, a vehicle with five cars connected).
Further, in the operation diagram of FIG. 4, the traveling direction can be understood by looking at the streak of one train. Specifically, if a line train that goes up to the right is set to run in the X direction, a line train that goes down to the right goes to the -X direction, which is the opposite direction.

  Therefore, in the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, when the temporary operation data sent from the vehicle management planning system is received, the operation organizing unit 114 is included in the initial information of the temporary operation regarding the temporary operation. It is configured to have a function of determining the classification (operation group) of the organization based on the “front” or “rear” information indicating the presence or absence of the connection and the traveling direction. The traveling direction can be automatically recognized from the route information (first station to last station) included in the initial information of the temporary operation.

  Specifically, in the case of FIG. 6A, the front train of the combined train traveling in the X direction is the basic train, the rear train is the accessory train, and the combined train traveling in the -X direction. It is determined that the front knitting is an accessory knitting and the rear knitting is a basic knitting. On the other hand, if the “previous” or “rear” information indicating the presence or absence of the connection is not included in the temporary operation information, the operation of the basic train (10 trains) or the accessory train (5 trains) is performed. In that case, it is treated as a basic train operation. As a result, the operation organizing unit 114 can propose a composition number to be assigned to the temporary operation. As a result, it is possible to grasp the classification of the organization of the temporary operation whose organization classification (operation group) is unknown, and to determine the operation group to which the organization to be assigned belongs.

Moreover, in the vehicle operation work support system of this embodiment, it is permitted that special operations that run continuously across the day like a year-end and New Year all-day operation train are set in the temporary operation. However, for the management process in the system, it is necessary to divide the operation of traveling across days into two according to the traveling day. However, if the original operation number is used as it is as the next day's operation number, it may overlap with other temporary operation numbers that have been set, and correct management may not be performed.
Therefore, when the temporary operation information (initial information) from the vehicle management planning system is received by the vehicle operation work support device 100, as shown in FIG. As for operation, as shown in FIG. 5B, the route data is divided into before 4 o'clock and after 4 o'clock, and for the route data before 4 o'clock, the operation number based on the received temporary operation information (for example, # 901). Manage with.

On the other hand, for route data after 4 o'clock, a new operation number is set and converted to another operation with an operation start time of 4 o'clock. Set. The new operation number is, for example, # 9901 by adding “9” to the head of the received operation number for the temporary operation. As for the normal operation other than the temporary operation, the operation over 4 am can be divided into two operations as described above.
By performing the operation division process as described above, it is possible to perform rational management within the system even when special operations that run continuously across days are planned.

Next, the operation change function in the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 shows an example of an “operation change batch input screen” displayed when “operation batch change” is selected from the “function” button FB. This “operation batch change” is made effective by being selected by the “function” button FB on the operation table screen (FIG. 2).
In this “Operation Change Batch Entry Screen”, while looking at the contents described in the operation plan from the transport instruction, enter the operation changes in the change input field TLC in sequence, and then click the “Register” button RB. The current state (operation results) after the change will be reflected in the system.
To change the operation or work, select “assign operation work” on the sub-screen displayed when the “function” button FB on the leftmost side of the menu column is clicked on the operation table screen of FIG. In the diagram display screen of FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, it is also possible to individually perform by selecting “operation change” or “operation designation work setting” on the sub-screen displayed when the “function” button FB is clicked.

In FIG. 8, the function button FB is clicked using the mouse 142 and the keyboard 141 on the operation diagram screen shown in FIG. 4 and the operation sequence table screen shown in FIG. A dialog box sub-screen is displayed.
On this sub-screen, one of the operation item lists that appears when the “select operation change item” button CPB is clicked is selected. When the train number, operation number, or organization number is input, and the details of the change (for example, the position of consolidation) are input, the change is immediately reflected in the vehicle operation data and the operation table data. Furthermore, the operation diagram screen (FIG. 4), the operation sequence table screen (FIG. 5), and the operation table screen (FIG. 3) are configured to reflect the changed operation contents.

The operation change in this embodiment includes items of “operation connection”, “operation division”, “suspension setting”, “consolidation setting”, “division setting”, “restoration setting”, “temporary creation”, and “extension creation”. Furthermore, items for changing the transportation plan by order arrangement (turnback change, operation change, etc.) may be included.
Here, the meaning of each item is explained briefly. “Operational connection” means that two operations are connected and combined into one operation. “Operational division” means that one operation is divided and two operations are created. It is. In addition, “Combination setting” is to merge two new trains, “Split setting” is to split the combined trains into two, “Suspension setting” is to cancel train operation, “Restoration setting” "Restoring a suspended train (operation)." By using the above-mentioned “operation division” function, it is possible to execute processing for dividing the day-to-day temporary operation described with reference to FIG. 6B into two operations.

  Furthermore, “temporary creation” is to set a new temporary train operation, and “extension creation” is to extend the operation (operation) section. Further, “turn-back change” means that a train is operated as a train number different from a train number scheduled at a predetermined time when returning at a terminal station or a halfway station. “Change in operation” means that, for example, when there is a delay, the train number is changed from the middle station to that of the subsequent train, and the train is operated so that there is no apparent delay. The day-to-day temporary operation described with reference to FIG. 6B is terminated at 4 am using the “change operation” function, and the remaining part is newly set as the temporary operation for the next day. It can be divided into two operations.

  As described above, the vehicle operation work support apparatus of this embodiment changes operation by specifying a train number, operation number, etc. on the three screens of “operation table”, “operation diagram”, and “operation order table”. Therefore, after the diamond recovery, the operation return for returning the changed vehicle operation to the planned operation can be completed in a short time. In addition, when a temporary operation plan across the day is sent from the vehicle management planning system, duplicate operation numbers are set by setting a new identification number for the next day divided into two operations. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of a situation where rational management cannot be performed due to the presence of (for example, when extraordinary operation for overnight operation is planned for two consecutive days).

  Next, the “automatic operation proposal” function for making the system propose an operation arrangement plan that can be selected by the “function” button FB in the menu column of the operation table screen will be described. In addition to the above “automatic operation proposal”, functions that can be selected by the “function” button FB include “operation work assignment”, “error list”, and “work inspection management” functions. When “allocate operation work” is selected, a predetermined dialog box is displayed, and operations and operations can be manually input one by one. When “error list” is selected, the operation and work assigned by the “operation work assignment” function is checked for inappropriate contents, and the result is displayed as an error list.

  In this embodiment, whether there are operations that have not yet been assigned to the organization (operation unappropriation check), whether there are operations assigned to multiple organizations (operation overcharge check), type Whether there is an illegal assignment operation such as assigning operations with different organization (operation appropriateness check), whether an operation that cannot perform the specified operation is assigned (specified operation appropriate check), or operation that cannot be assigned continuously from the previous day's operation (Operation connection check), whether the first half operation in the day and the second half operation, or the previous day or the next day and the current day operation can be interchanged (pre- and post-connection check), the number of days for the designated work to return, etc. Is not exceeded (checking the number of days for the specified work return), or whether work is allocated during the time when the work inspection is planned in the specified operation (planned operation) ( Constant work not yet performed check), and the like or not assigned to the date on which act inspection has been continuous (handiwork inspection continuous check). If the same operation number is mistakenly set on the same day when the temporary operation across the day is divided into two operations, the operation number It is possible to display on the display device that there is a mistake in the setting, thereby alerting the operator.

Since the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has the error list display function as described above, it is possible to easily grasp inappropriate operation changes and work assignments.
In addition, as described above, the vehicle operation work support apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes an automatic operation organization proposal, and uses the check function to grasp improper operation changes and work assignments. It is possible to efficiently create an operation arrangement plan by appropriately setting conditions in the automatic arrangement proposal process.

Next, the above-described operation organization automatic suggestion process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Of these, FIG. 9 shows the overall flow of automatic operation arrangement proposal, and FIG. 10 shows an example of a specific procedure of “operation arrangement proposal creation processing” in FIG.
The operation organizing plan creation process by the operation organizing unit 114 is a sub-screen displayed when the “function” button FB provided on the left side of the work menu column WMC on the operation table screen of FIG. , A function executed by selecting “automatic operation proposal”. When this “operation organization automatic proposal” is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a date designation button (b) for designating a date, a condition such as fixed operation, or a set work has been set. A dialog box CNB including a check list field CLC for clearing the examination and an execution button (r) for giving support for starting the processing is displayed.

The check list column CLC is provided with a check box for executing the process of dividing the above-mentioned temporary operation across the day into two operations, and the operation is automatically performed when a check mark is added to the check box. It is also possible to configure the operation organizing unit 114 to have a function of executing the process of dividing.
When the execution button (r) is clicked after conditions are set in the dialog box CNB of FIG. 11, the operation arrangement plan creation process is started. Before starting the operation arrangement plan creation process, a process for displaying the operation change batch input screen as shown in FIG. 7 and inputting the operation results using this screen to reflect the current state in the system ( Steps S1 and S2) of FIG. 9 are performed. Here, the results of operation (operation change) are the multiple arrangements (operation plan) sent by FAX (facsimile) etc. from the transportation order to return to normal train operation when a time disturbance occurs It is the contents described in.

  The “operation change batch input screen display” in step S1 of FIG. 9 is a sub-screen displayed when the “function” button FB provided on the left side of the work menu column WMC of the operation table screen of FIG. This is displayed by selecting "Operation batch input". Then, in this “operation change batch input screen” (see FIG. 7), while watching the contents described in the operation plan from the transportation instruction, the operation changes are sequentially input to the change input field TLC, and then “ When the “Register” button RB is clicked, the current state (operation result) after the change is reflected in the system.

Thereafter, the process execution control unit 110 determines whether or not “operation organization automatic proposal” has been selected (step S3). If it is determined that the selection has been made (Yes), the process execution control unit 110 proceeds to step S4, and operation table data (plan operation and step After reading out the actual data (inputted in S2) from the storage unit 120, an operation organizing plan creation process (step S5) by the operation organizing unit 114 is executed. At this time, the display of the dialog box CNB changes as shown in FIG.
Then, an operation table (FIG. 2) reflecting the created operation arrangement plan is displayed (step S6). The operation arrangement plan displayed at this time is not perfect and may be a state in which work inspection allocation and the like are not determined. In addition, when there is undecided or contradiction (inconsistency) or the like, for example, the color is changed or a predetermined mark is added and displayed, for example.

  After step S6, it is determined whether or not the condition change and execution button (r) have been clicked (step S7). If the condition change and execution button (r) have not been clicked (step S7: No) returns to step S5 and repeats the above process. On the other hand, if “Yes” is determined in step S7, the process proceeds to step S8 to determine whether the “confirm” button (s) or the “discard” button (t) is clicked, and the “confirm” button (s). When is clicked, the created operation arrangement plan data is stored in the storage unit 120 (step S9). If the “discard” button (t) is clicked, the created operation arrangement plan data is discarded and the process ends (step S10).

FIG. 10 shows a specific procedure of “operation arrangement plan creation processing” in step S5 of FIG. In this “operation organizing plan creation process”, first, in the check list field CLC of the dialog box CNB of FIG. 11, whether or not to allocate the number of days to return the operation, whether to perform the work inspection, whether to assign the alternating inspection, etc. Conditions for executing the operation arrangement plan creation are set (step S51). When the execution button (r) is clicked after setting the conditions, if a check mark “v” is added to the “fixed operation” check box (e) in the check list field CLC, an alternate inspection is planned. Those whose operation cannot be changed due to restrictions such as being present are fixed (step S52).
Next, if the “clear inspection plan” check box (j) in the check list column CLC is checked, the operation inspection plan set at that time is temporarily discarded (step S53). Thereby, the restriction | limiting at the time of operation arrangement | positioning can be loosened.

  Subsequently, if a check mark is added to the “operation allocation” check box (k) in the check list column CLC, a process of assigning operations in order from the one with the lowest degree of freedom is performed (step S54). Specifically, for example, allocation of late operation with a low degree of freedom is performed first, and next day operation with a high degree of freedom is performed. In addition, it is decided to give priority to replacing the operation of the next day of the organization that exists in the same vehicle base during the nighttime staying hours, and then exists in the same place (vehicle base, detention line) in the same time zone in the daytime. Determine the replacement (replacement) of the operation of the organization to be performed. Furthermore, a pair of formations is recognized based on the operation table data, and an operation number operated in the combined formation is preferentially assigned to the combined formation. In addition, when a check box (w) is provided in the check list column CLC and a check mark is added to this check box, when there is something that travels beyond 4 o'clock in a day-to-day temporary operation, A process of dividing the operation into two operations (step S54b) may be executed.

  After that, if the “predetermined” check box (o), which means the predetermined work inspection setting, is checked, for all operations that can be inspected with the basic settings of the work inspection plan, that is, the predetermined (planned operation) Setting of work inspection is performed (step S55). Then, if the “Others” check box (p) is marked with a check mark, it will not be possible to enter an organization that has an error in the number of days of regression in the work inspection other than the work set for the specified work inspection. A process for assigning a work inspection to a possible waiting time is performed by looking at the waiting time until departure (step S56). Subsequently, it is checked whether there are undecided or inconsistent (inconsistent) items, and if they are extracted, an error list is created, and the color of the error display location in the list is changed. In the operation table, a warning (warning) is displayed, for example, an underline is added to the corresponding part (step S57).

The above steps S51 to S56 can be skipped by unchecking the corresponding check boxes. The error list created in step S57 is displayed by clicking the “function” button FB in the work menu column on the operation table display screen of FIG. 3 to display the function and selecting “display error list”. Can be made.
Therefore, if the operation arrangement plan creation process is executed without adding a check mark to the “predetermined work inspection setting” check box (o), the operation inspection is set in the basic setting of the work inspection plan, that is, the predetermined (planned operation). If not, a warning message will be displayed.

  From the above description, it can be seen that the operation arrangement plan creation process in the present embodiment is a sequential process. By executing such a sequential operation arrangement plan creation process, the burden on the apparatus can be reduced and the processing speed can be reduced compared to a method in which an operation arrangement plan with a high degree of completion is proposed in a single process. Even a slow CPU can propose a satisfactory operation arrangement plan in a relatively short time. In addition, since an error list can be displayed, an operation arrangement plan without oversight can be obtained by setting conditions in consideration of errors and executing the proposal process again. In the proposal of the above operation arrangement plan, it is desirable not to excessively propose the combined organization, for example, by counting the number of proposals.

Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where 10 basic knitting and 5 attached knitting are combined is described as an example, but the combined knitting is not limited to 10 and 5 but 7 and 3 both. Five cars and five cars may be used.
In the embodiment, the operation table editing processing unit 111, the operation diagram editing processing unit 112, the operation order table editing processing unit 113, the operation organizing unit 114, and the work management unit 115 such as work inspection are configured by one CPU. However, these functional units may be configured by a plurality of CPUs.
