Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a train operation management device, and more particularly to a technique capable of increasing transportation capacity in response to a sudden increase in passengers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a large event or a baseball game is held along a line in a suburb of a city, the number of passengers at the nearest station increases rapidly at the end of the event, and the train schedule is disturbed. As a method for coping with such a situation, conventionally, a temporary train is generally added to the basic timetable of the day to increase the transportation capacity. In addition, assuming that events and baseball will be held, special diamonds for events and baseball are prepared in advance, and when events and baseball etc. are held, the timetable will be adjusted according to the increasing number of passengers. A method such as switching to a dedicated diamond is used.

[0003]

However, in the former method of adding a temporary train, the train intervals are likely to be uneven, and therefore passengers are allowed to travel on a specific train (a train with a space from the preceding train). Will be concentrated and the passengers' getting on and off times will be longer, which will further delay the train. Further, in the latter method of switching to the dedicated diamond, the number of passengers and the like differ depending on the scale of the baseball or the event, so that it is necessary to prepare dozens of dedicated diamonds, and the system load is large and difficult.

Further, there is a case where a so-called isochronous operation system is adopted in which the train departure times at the terminal station are made equal intervals when the basic timetable is disturbed. Since the basic train schedule itself is not changed as a backup when the basic schedule is disturbed, various services such as various guides in the operation management based on the train schedule will be simple and services for passengers etc. However, there is a problem in that

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a train operation management device capable of enhancing the transportation capacity by isochronous operation while providing a service equivalent to that during normal timetable operation. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

For this reason, the train operation management apparatus of the present invention stores in advance the minimum equidistant operating time data corresponding to the number of simultaneous trains in the line area, as shown by the solid line in FIG. A storage unit, a train number monitor currently in service for monitoring the number of trains actually operating in the line section, a command input unit for inputting a transportation capacity increase command, and a transportation capacity increase command input by the command input unit. When, the data of the number of trains currently on the line, which is grasped by the number of trains currently on line monitoring means,
A train schedule creating means for creating a new train schedule for increasing transportation capacity by modifying the basic schedule based on the stored data of the storage means and the number of trains data that can be delivered from the garage , and the train schedule creating means Is indicated by the broken line in Fig. 1.
As described above, the stored data, the train currently in line

[0007]

Further, the calculating means retrieves the minimum evenly-spaced operating time stored in the storage means corresponding to the value of the number of trains in the train, which is obtained by adding the leaving train to the number of trains currently in the train. And the departure time calculation means for calculating the departure time of the train by adding the minimum equally-spaced operation time searched by the search means to the time when the train operation for transportation enhancement is started, and the departure time calculation means. Determining means for deciding whether or not there is a train that can depart at the departure time on the basic timetable, and the departure time of the leaving train to allocate the leaving train from the garage when the determining means determines that there is no departable train It is preferable to include a shipping time calculation unit that calculates a shipping time according to the above.

Further, it is preferable that the time for starting the operation of the train for transportation enhancement is matched with the train departure time on the basic timetable.

[0010]

In this configuration, when a transportation capacity increase command is input by the command input means, the number of trains currently on line which is grasped by the number of trains currently on line monitoring data and the number of trains that can leave the garage are displayed. From the minimum evenly-spaced operating time data for each number of simultaneous trains stored in the storage means, the train schedule creation means replaces the basic schedule according to the situation such as the number of trains and passengers that can be delivered at that time. Make sure to create a train schedule to increase transportation capacity by isochronous operation.

As described above, the train operation intervals become constant by the isochronous operation, so that the train delay due to the irregular train intervals can be prevented. In addition, since the basic timetable is modified to create a new transportation capacity enhancement timetable, services such as various guides based on the train timetable can be provided in the same manner as the basic timetable, which reduces service to passengers. There is nothing to do.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows a system configuration of an embodiment of the train operation management device according to the present invention. In FIG. 2, the operation management device main body 1 manages the operation of each train operating in the line zone based on the current train schedule, and monitors the train position, rescheduling, route control, and train schedule. Passenger information, etc. based on Therefore, in the operation management device main body 1,
The number of trains currently operating in the line area can be grasped, and it has a function of the current train number monitoring means.

The processing unit 2 is constructed by incorporating, for example, a microcomputer or the like, and serves as a storage unit when a transportation force increase command is input through the keyboard 3 as a command input unit by the operation of the operator of the operation management apparatus. Based on the data stored in advance in the hard disk 4 of the vehicle, the current number of trains on the train from the operation management device main body 1, and the number of trains available from the garage side, the train is actually operated now. When the number of trains leaving the garage is added to the number of trains in line, the minimum equal interval operation time for each number of leaving trains and the departure time of the leaving trains from the garage are calculated, and the calculated minimum equal interval for each number of leaving trains As shown in FIG. 3, each piece of data of the operating time and the leaving time is classified according to the number of leaving trains and displayed on the CRT display 5 as a display means. Here, the interval time shown in the section of the train interval in FIG. 3 is an operation interval based on an isochronous interval when the number of trains shown in the section of the number of delivered trains is added to the number of trains currently in service. Shows. Then, the operator judges which driving interval is optimum from the data displayed on the CRT display 5 and the preparation status of the vehicle on the garage side, and inputs the corresponding proposal number using the keyboard 3, and then the processing unit 2 Then
Based on the instructed driving interval, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 described later, the train departure time at the exit station is calculated, and the basic timetable currently in use is corrected to obtain an equal time interval (constant operation). Create a new train schedule for increasing transportation capacity according to (interval).

Here, the processing section 2 has the functions of a calculating means and a schedule creation processing means, and the processing section 2 and the CRT display 5 constitute a train schedule creation means.
The data stored in the hard disk 4 is
It is the minimum evenly-spaced operation time data corresponding to the number of trains currently operating in the line section, and this data can be calculated in advance from the performance of the vehicle used in the line section, the operation curve, and the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the number of trains operating in the line section is 80 minutes 00 seconds, 2 trains are 44 minutes 00 seconds, 3 trains are 34 minutes 30 seconds, and so on. The data is as shown below. With one line, at 80 minute intervals, 2
The book shows that isochronous operation is possible at intervals of 44 minutes.

In addition, the number of trains that can be delivered is such that the command station where the operation management device main body 1, the processing unit 2, the keyboard 3, the hard disk 4, and the CRT display 5 are installed is separated from the garage, and Because not all trains in the garage can be released due to the preparation situation and the like, for example, a method of contacting the garage side and the command center for confirmation is used.

Next, a train schedule creating operation for isochronous operation for transportation capacity enhancement of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. In step 1 (indicated by S1 in the figure, the same applies hereinafter), when the operator inputs an instruction to increase the transportation capacity via the keyboard 3, the process proceeds to step 2. In step 2, the number of trains currently in the line zone, which is grasped by the operation management device main body 1, is checked, and the number of trains available for departure is confirmed by contacting the garage side.

In step 3, based on the information on the number of trains currently in line and the number of trains that can be delivered in step 2, and the stored data in the hard disk 4, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. The shipping time is calculated for each time. In step 4, each data of the number of delivery, train interval, and delivery time is divided into each number of delivery as shown in FIG. 3, and a proposal number is attached to each data and displayed on the CRT display 5.

In step 5, the operator selects an appropriate proposal number from the displayed proposal numbers in consideration of the preparation status of the vehicle in the garage and the driving interval, and selects the selected proposal number via the keyboard 3. Give instructions. In step 6, a new train schedule is created by isochronous operation for transportation capacity enhancement based on each selected data.

In step 7, the train operation control is started by the train schedule created in step 6. Next, the operation of calculating the leaving time of the leaving train shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 7 is a train diagram, in which the broken line shows the basic diagram for the day and the solid line shows the newly created isochronous train diagram. Also, the line descending to the right (indicated by capital letters of the alphabet) indicates the arriving train, and the line rising to the right (indicated in lower case letters of the alphabet) indicates the departing train.

First, in step 11, at the isochronous operation start time indicated by T0 in FIG. 7 designated by the operator, the operation interval time T (set time interval) determined by the number of simultaneous on-line trains stored in the hard disk 4 is stored. T) is added to calculate the next departure time T1. Here, in this embodiment, the isochronous operation start time T0 is set as the departure time of the last train (indicated by a in FIG. 7) that departs from the garage station using the basic timetable.

In step 12, the basic timetable
It is determined whether or not there is a train whose time can be changed at the next departure time T1 obtained in 11. For example, in FIG. 7, the train at the departure time T1 is indicated by the solid line b '. In this case, broken line B
The train indicated by has arrived at the station at a time sufficient to depart at the departure time T1, and the departure at the time T1 is possible. Therefore, the determination in step 12 is YES, the process proceeds to step 13, and the departure time of this train operating according to the broken line b is changed to T1 on the basic timetable.

Next, at step 15, the operating time interval T is added to the departure time T1 to calculate the next departure time T2.
In step 16, it is determined whether or not the time T2 calculated in step 15 is within one round trip standard time (indicating the standard time required for the train to make one round trip in the line section) from the isochronous operation start time T0. If it is within this time, the process proceeds to step 17, T2 is replaced with T1, the process returns to step 12 again, and the same operation is repeated.

Then, for example, when a train that can be assigned to the train x to be started at the next departure time T2 shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. 7 has not arrived at the station, a train leaving the garage is required, In such a case, the determination in step 12 is N
When it becomes O, the process proceeds to step 14, and the train leaving the garage is assigned. At this time, a time (T2-t) that is a predetermined time t before the departure time T2 is calculated as the leaving time.

As shown by the arrow A2 in FIG. 7, there is a train arriving at the station at the set departure time of the equal time interval (arrival train indicated by broken line E in FIG. 7). Also,
If the predetermined minimum turnaround stop time has not passed from the arrival of the train to the departure time, it is judged that it is necessary to leave the train, and the train y Allocate and calculate the delivery time. Incidentally, FIG.
The arrow A3 indicates a case where the leaving train is assigned as the train z when there is no arriving train that can depart at the departure time set in the station, as in the case of the arrow A1.

In this way, every time the operating time intervals T are added, trains and outgoing trains on the basic timetable are assigned to the set departure times, and in step 16, the calculated departure times are equal. 1 from the time interval operation start time T0
If the round-trip standard time is exceeded, the exit flow calculation flow for the operating time interval T ends. By changing the operation time interval T and executing any number of types according to the situation at that time, a plurality of train schedules for increasing the transportation capacity are proposed.

As described above, when the number of passengers suddenly increases due to events, baseball events, etc., and it is necessary to increase the transportation capacity, the current operation status, the train availability status, and pre-entered data, etc. On the basis of the above, the basic timetable is modified to newly create a train timetable for isochronous operation for increasing the transportation capacity, so that the number of trains can be increased with a constant operation interval. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the train from being delayed because the passengers are concentrated on the train with a gap from the preceding train as in the conventional extra train increase system. In addition, since a train schedule is newly created and train operation management is executed based on this schedule, it is possible to provide passengers with guidance according to train operation similar to that during basic train operation. Service does not deteriorate.

Further, since a plurality of timetable preparation plans are proposed when preparing a timetable for increasing transportation capacity, the operator can select an appropriate timetable according to the preparation status of the garage side and the number of passengers at that time. Therefore, smooth isochronous operation can be performed. Also, due to vehicle preparation, if it is not possible to achieve the required time interval immediately, select and create a timetable that is possible at that time, then
When the vehicle is ready, you can reissue the instruction to increase the transportation capacity and re-create the timetable.

Further, by adjusting the time of starting the isochronous operation to the departure time of the train operating on the basic timetable,
The transition from the basic timetable to the new timetable will become relatively smooth. In the present embodiment, the case where the garage station is located at the terminal of the line section has been described as an example. However, even when the garage station is located in the middle of the line section, the train schedule line (see FIG. Drawing (broken line or solid line) may be performed in one direction.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, the number of trains that are currently operating and the number of trains that can leave the garage are grasped, and stored in advance in equal time interval (constant interval) operation data. Based on this, the basic timetable was modified to create a new appropriate time-distance operation timetable, so against the sudden increase in passengers, passenger concentration on specific trains due to irregular train intervals and this It is possible to prevent train delays due to trains and smoothly increase transport capacity.

Further, since the operation of the train is managed based on the created train schedule for increasing the transportation capacity, the guidance provided based on the schedule can be provided in the same manner as the basic schedule, and the service to passengers is prevented from being deteriorated. it can.
