To be equipped.

The addition request reception unit 31 receives an addition request including information on the trains to be added, information on the section for which the addition is requested, and information on the number of vehicles to be added. Such an increase request is a request to add a vehicle to the addition target train by setting the train set in the timetable on the day as the addition target train.

The information of the train to be added includes the information of the train number. The information on the extension request section includes information on stations located at both ends of the addition request section. The information on the number of additional trains includes information indicating the number of trains to be added to the train to be added.

It can be transmitted via the network 8.

The station determination unit 32, which can be added, acquires the operation information of the trains to be added, from the timetable database 22, based on the information of the trains to be added included in the request to be added received by the request receiving unit 31. The operation information of the trains to be added is the operation information of the trains of the formation used for the trains with the train numbers included in the addition request. The add-on possible station determination unit 32 acquires the information of the stop station which is the station where the addition target formation operation train stops from the station information database 21 based on the operation information of the addition target formation operation train. The add-on possible station determination unit 32 determines that a stop station satisfying the stop time condition is an add-on possible station based on the operation information of the additional train operation train and the stop station information of the additional train operation train.

The stop time condition includes, for example, a condition that the stop time of the addition target formation operation train has a set time Tst or more and has a facility capable of performing the addition work among a plurality of stop stations where the addition target formation operation train stops. The set time Tst is, for example, the time required to add a vehicle to the train to be added. If the train delay is allowed, the set time Tst may be a time exceeding the time required to add a vehicle to the train to be added.

Here, the addition pattern will be described. The addition pattern includes a first addition pattern and a second addition pattern. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the first addition pattern according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a second addition pattern according to the first embodiment. In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, hematopoiesis target train is a train A _2, hematopoiesis request period is a period from Z Station to X Station.

The first addition pattern is a pattern in which a spare vehicle detained in a garage attached to a stop station on the timetable of the train to be added is used as the addition vehicle. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the operation train constituted knitting A plurality of vehicles are connected is used as the train A ₁ toward the W station to Z stations, trains A and then toward the Z Station to W Station Used as ₂ . In the example shown in FIG. 5, vehicle H ₁ in hotel has been garage parking time and the set time Tst above and X station in X train station A ₁ is placed. Therefore, the first addition pattern is adopted.

In the case of the first addition pattern, the stop time condition used by the add-on possible station determination unit 32 includes a condition that the arrival time at the stop station of the train to be added is later than the departure time of the spare vehicle. Here, assuming that the delivery time is "td" and the current time is "tb", the delivery time td can be expressed by the following equation (1). "Ne" is, for example, a constant value for each station.
td = tb + Ne ... (1)

"Ne" in the above formula (1) can be expressed by, for example, the following formula (2). In the following formula (2), "T1" is the time from the notification to the premises driver to the completion of the pre-delivery inspection of the additional vehicle. "T2" is the time for setting the delivery of the additional vehicle to the premises timetable. "T3" is the traveling time of the additional vehicle from the garage attached to the station to the additional station. "T4" is a margin.
Ne = T1 + T2 + T3 + T4 ... (2)

In the example shown in FIG. 5, hematopoiesis can station determination unit 32 has an X station equipment capable of performing hematopoiesis work is in stoppage time to X train station A ₁ set time Tst above, and the train A ₁ X If the time of arrival at the station is later than the unloading time td of the vehicle H _1, it determines that the stoppage time condition is satisfied.

The second addition pattern is a pattern in which a spare vehicle detained in a garage attached to a stop station on the timetable of another train, which is different from the train to be added, is used as the addition vehicle. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the operation train organization A is used as the train A ₁ and train A _2, is detained in the hotel has been garage stop station of the train A ₁ and hematopoiesis-vehicle train A ₁ There is no.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the operation train of the formation B composed of a plurality of vehicles connected is used as the train B ₁ from the V station to the Z station, and then the train B from the Z station to the V station. Used as ₂ . Then, there is a vehicle H ₂ as a vehicle that is detained in the garage attached to the U station and can be added to the train B ₁ . In addition, U station has facilities that can be used for additional work. The train B ₁ is an operation train of the formation B whose train number is "B ₁ ", and the train B ₂ is an operation train of the formation B whose train number is "B ₂ ".

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6 is a front arrival time at the Z train station B ₁ is also the arrival time at the Z train station A _1, and the train A has a facility capable of performing hematopoiesis work Z Station The stop time at Z station of ₁ is equal to or longer than the set time Tst. Therefore, the second add-on pattern is adopted.

In the case of the second addition pattern, the stop time condition used by the add-on possible station determination unit 32 is that the arrival time at the stop station of another train different from the addition target formation operation train is later than the departure time dt of the spare vehicle. Including conditions such as. In the example shown in FIG. 6, hematopoiesis can station determination unit 32 is stopped time at U train station B ₁ is set time Tst above, the train B ₁ of unloading time arrival time of the vehicle of H ₂ to U station If it is later than td, it is determined that the other train satisfies the stop time condition.

In addition, the station determination unit 32 that can be added has a facility that can perform addition work among a plurality of stations where other trains stop, and the stop time of the other train is Tst or more of the set time, and a garage is provided. It is also possible to determine that the stop station is a station that can be added.

The addable vehicle determination unit 33 searches the vehicle database 6 of the vehicle management device 2 and determines whether or not there is an addable vehicle. An add-on train is a spare vehicle that can be added to an add-on train at an add-on station. The spare vehicle is a spare vehicle that is detained in the garage attached to the station.

A spare vehicle that can be added to an additional train for operation is a type of vehicle that can be added to an operation train for additional formation, and the remaining mileage until inspection and the number of days remaining until the inspection deadline are set in advance. It is a spare vehicle that meets the above conditions.

The type of rolling stock that can be added to the formation of the formation target formation operation train is, for example, a spare vehicle that is the same XXX diesel railcar as the addition target formation operation train. "XXX" is represented by, for example, a number, or a number and a kana character. In addition, the type of vehicle that can be connected to the formation of the trains to be added is a spare vehicle of the type that can be connected to the trains to be added, even if it is a different type from the trains to be added. It should be.

For example, when the remaining mileage until the inspection deadline is Nb times or more of the longest additional distance Dam, the addtable vehicle determination unit 33 determines that the remaining mileage until the inspection deadline satisfies a preset condition. Can be done. The longest additional distance Dam is the longest distance that can be traveled by adding trains to the trains to be added. The commander can specify the above-mentioned "Nb" by inputting to the input unit 13. In addition, "Nb" is a value larger than 1.

Here, the longest additional distance Dam will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of calculating the longest addition distance in the first addition pattern according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a method of calculating the longest addition distance in the second addition pattern according to the first embodiment.

The add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 can obtain the longest addition distance Dam in the first addition pattern by the calculation of the following equation (3).
Dam = Da1 + Da2 ... (3)

In the above formula (3), "Da1" is the mileage of the spare car on the assumption that the spare car to be added to the train to be added to the train is not separated all day, and "Da2" is the operation to be added to the train. This is the mileage required for the spare car to be added to the train to return to the original station with the garage.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the operation train of formation A is used as trains A ₁ , A ₂ , A ₃ , A ₄ , A ₅ , and A ₆ , and the operation of formation A is performed at Z station where vehicle H is a station with a garage. It is shown that it is connected to a train and used as an extension vehicle to trains A ₂ , A ₃ , A ₄ , A ₅ , and A ₆ . Vehicle H will move from W station to Z station, which is the original station with a garage, as a deadhead train from the next day onward. In this case, the maximum hematopoiesis distance Dam is determined by the sum of the sum of the travel distance of the train _{A 2, A 3, A 4} , A 5, A 6, and the distance from W station to Z Station. The operation plan of the vehicle H from W station to Z station on or after the next day is created and changed by, for example, a timetable planning device such as a timetable making device (not shown).

Further, the add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 can obtain the longest addition distance Dam in the second addition pattern by the calculation of the following equation (4).
Dam = Da0 + Da1 + Da2 ... (4)

In the above formula (4), "Da0" is the distance at which the spare vehicle to be added to the trains to be added is moved to the station where other trains can be added. In addition, "Da1" and "Da2" in the said formula (4) are the same as "Da1" and "Da2" in the said formula (3).

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the trains operated by train A are used as trains A ₁ , A ₂ , A ₃ , A ₄ , A ₅ , and A ₆ , and the trains operated by train B are trains B ₁ , B ₂ , and B _3. , B ₄ is shown to be used. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the vehicle H is added to the train B ₂ which is the operation train of the formation B at the Y station and is carried to the W station, and after being disassembled at the W station, the operation of the formation A is performed at the W station. it is shown to be hematopoiesis in train a ₃ is a train. In this case, the longest additional distance Dam is calculated by adding the total mileage of train B _{2 and} the mileage of trains A ₃ , A ₄ , A ₅ , and A _{6 and} the distance from W station to Y station. ..

Returning to FIG. 4, the description of the addtable vehicle determination unit 33 will be continued. For example, when the number of days remaining until the inspection deadline is Nc days or more, the addable vehicle determination unit 33 can determine that the number of days remaining until the inspection deadline satisfies a preset condition. The commander can specify the above-mentioned "Nc" by inputting to the input unit 13.

The add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 first determines whether or not there is an add-on possible vehicle in the first add-on pattern. That is, the add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 first, when there is a garage attached to the add-on possible train station of the trains to be added, the spare vehicle detained in the garage attached to the add-on station becomes an addable vehicle. Determine if it is.

When the add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 determines that there is no add-on possible vehicle in the first add-on pattern, it determines whether or not there is an add-on possible vehicle in the second add-on pattern. That is, if there is no addable vehicle in the first add-on pattern, the add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 can add to another train different from the addition target formation operation train, and can move to the add-on possible station by the other train. Determine if there is.

The add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 can determine whether or not there is an add-on possible vehicle in the second add-on pattern regardless of whether or not there is an add-on possible vehicle in the first add-on pattern. That is, the add-on possible vehicle determination unit 33 can perform both the presence / absence of the addable vehicle in the first add-on pattern and the presence / absence of the add-on possible vehicle in the second add-on pattern.

The output processing unit 34 outputs information on add-on candidates including information on add-on stations determined by the add-on station determination unit 32 and information on add-on vehicles determined by the add-on vehicle determination unit 33. For example, the output processing unit 34 outputs the addition candidate information to the display unit 12, and causes the display unit 12 to display the addition candidate information. The output processing unit 34 can also output the addition candidate information from the communication unit 10 to an external terminal device via the communication network 8.

The selection reception unit 35 accepts the selection of the add-on vehicle as the add-on vehicle and the add-on station as the add-on station. The add-on vehicle is a spare vehicle set as a vehicle to be added to the add-on station among one or more add-on vehicles. The additional station is a station set as a station for adding additional vehicles to the additional trains to be added to the additional trains among one or more stations that can be added.

The selection reception unit 35 can accept selection according to the operation of the commander to the input unit 13. The commander can select the add-on vehicle and the add-on station displayed on the display unit 12 as the add-on vehicle and the add-on station by operating the input unit 13. When the output processing unit 34 outputs the addition candidate information to the external terminal device, the selection reception unit 35 selects to set the add-on vehicle and the add-on station as the add-on vehicle and the add-on station from the terminal device via the communication network 8. It can also be accepted.

The reservation processing unit 36 makes a reservation for use of the spare vehicle accepted as an additional vehicle by the selection reception unit 35 from the communication unit 10 to the vehicle management device 2 via the communication network 8. The reservation processing unit 36 can make a reservation for using the spare vehicle by transmitting information including the vehicle number of the spare vehicle to be added to the vehicle from the communication unit 10 to the vehicle management device 2 via the communication network 8.

Based on the reception result by the selection reception unit 35, the notification unit 37 notifies the addition information including at least one of the information of the extension station and the information of the trains to be added. For example, the notification unit 37 can transmit the addition information from the communication unit 10 to the station terminal device 3 and the garage terminal device 4 arranged at the extension station via the communication network 8.

The additional information transmitted to the station terminal device 3 includes information such as the train number of the train to be added, whether or not the additional train can be added, the time when the additional train is to be added, the number of the additional station, the number of additional vehicles, and the number of the additional vehicle. Including. In addition, the time when the addition is carried out is, for example, the arrival time of the train to be added to the addition station. In addition, the number line of the additional station is the arrival line of the trains operated by the additional trains. The train number of the train to be added is, for example, "A ₁ " in the example shown in FIG.

The addition information transmitted to the garage terminal device 4 includes, for example, information such as the number of the addition vehicle, the departure time of the addition vehicle, the train number of the train to be added, the time when the addition is carried out, and the number of the addition station. .. The train number of the train to be added is, for example, "A ₁ " in the example shown in FIG.

Next, an example of processing by the processing unit 15 of the train operation management device 1 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the processing unit of the train operation management device according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, the addition request receiving unit 31 of the processing unit 15 determines whether or not the addition request has been accepted (step S1).
