Next, the schematic diagram of the B station retrieves the coordinates (800) of the rightmost track object (indicating an object created from the component track) of the A station on the left side of the B station. This process is calculated | required by the process of (73) when an object station is A station. In the case of FIG. 8, the rightmost end coordinate = (a, b). Next, the route object coordinates (810) at the leftmost end of station B are searched. This process is calculated | required by the process of (73) when an object station is B station. In the case of FIG. 8, the leftmost coordinate = (c, d). Now, when registering a schematic diagram of station B in the route map file, the rightmost end of the previous station (in FIG. 8 is the rightmost end coordinate (a) of station A) and the leftmost end of the target station (FIG. 8). 8 is the leftmost coordinate (c) of station B) (the difference is (ac) in FIG. 8). In step (75), the difference obtained in step (74) of each coordinate of the object in the B station schematic diagram is added, and the object after the coordinate transformation (82) is performed is registered in the route map file. In the case of FIG. 8, the coordinates of (810) on the schematic diagram of station B are converted to (a, b) of (811). Although the above processing shows the horizontal coordinate conversion, the vertical coordinate conversion is also performed in the same manner. The coordinate conversion process is based on the premise that the line widths (812) and (813) of the schematic diagrams are the same.

Next, a schematic diagram creating function (202), a route map creating function (201), and an operation management database creating function (200) in the information processing apparatus (20) are shown below. Since the linked database creation function (29) is generally used as the linked chart creation function, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0017]
First, the overall flow of the schematic drawing function (202) will be described with reference to the operation flow chart of FIG. After the power is turned on, the information processing apparatus (20) displays a route map creation initial screen on the display device (21) (31). This initial screen is shown in FIG. This initial screen includes a schematic diagram creation button (51) for instructing the creation of a schematic diagram and a route map creation button (52) for instructing the creation of a route map. The user instructs the information processing apparatus (20) whether to create a schematic diagram or a route map on the initial screen (32). When the sketch creation is instructed, the information processing device (20) displays a sketch creation screen as shown in FIG. 6 on the display device (21). The schematic diagram creation screen is composed of a parts list display unit (61) and a schematic diagram creation unit (62), and the user selects a part from the parts list display unit (61) and places the selected part at a desired position in the schematic diagram creation unit. (33). Here, the arranged parts are hereinafter referred to as objects. The object once arranged requests the user to set the attribute owned by the object, and the arrangement of the object is completed when the user sets the corresponding attribute (34). An object can own an attribute by taking over the attribute set for the part that is the source of the object. A desired schematic diagram is created by continuously performing the above-described series of object creation flows (33) to (35). Further, when the user finishes the creation of the schematic diagram, the schematic diagram creation function (202) activates the storage device output function (28) by instructing the end button (63), and assists the created schematic diagram as a schematic diagram file. After registration in the storage device (36), if the relevant station is a linked station, the linked database creation function (29) is activated by the user instructing a specific button for creating and registering the linked database for the relevant station. Then, the link database of the corresponding station is created and registered (301). This function is terminated after the above processing is completed. The components provided in this schematic drawing creation function (202) are as shown in FIG.
[0018]
Next, the overall flow of the route map creation function (201) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The route map creation function is activated by instructing a route map creation button (52) on the route map creation initial screen of FIG. 5 (37). The flow after activation is shown in FIG. After starting up, the order of stations to be combined is indicated on the route map. In this embodiment, the designation is made in ascending order from the station on the left side of the route map (70).
[0019]
A screen displayed in this route map setting is shown in FIG. On this screen, the user inputs the name of the route map to be created in the column (90), the station name to be combined is the column (91), and the route map creation function (25) is a schematic file in the auxiliary storage device (23). Search the registration status of and display the station name. The user selects a station name necessary for the route map, and inputs the connection order in the field (92). In the case of FIG. 9, A station B station C station is connected from the left.
[0020]
The first station is defined as the target station by the above designation (71). After the target station is determined, the route map creation function (201) reads the schematic map file of the target station from the auxiliary storage device (23) using the storage device output function (28) (72). After the reading is completed, the rightmost coordinates and the leftmost coordinates of the main line are searched from the objects in the corresponding schematic file. There are several search methods. In this embodiment, an object created from the part route (41) is searched for the rightmost coordinate and the leftmost coordinate. Next, the difference between the rightmost coordinate of the previous station (the station on the left side of the target station) and the leftmost coordinate of the target station is calculated (74). After the difference is determined, the corresponding difference is added to the coordinates of all the objects in the schematic diagram file of the target station (75). After the addition process is completed, the simplified diagram file is stored in the route map file (76). If the target station is a linked station (700), the linked database of that station is registered in the linked linked database (701). The processes from (72) to (701) are performed for the number of stations set in (70) (77). The route map file and the linkage interlocking database are created by the above processing.

Next, the creation of the operation management database will be described. First, the contents of the operation management database used in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Although it is naturally possible to expand the passenger management data or the like to the operation management database, the most basic configuration will be described in this embodiment. The control element of operation management is a window that displays the train number when the vehicle arrives at a point where the route setting is requested (hereinafter referred to as a route setting point) when the vehicle reaches a certain point There is an arrival point (hereinafter referred to as a shift point). In the case of FIG. 14, the vehicle number 6M21 of the vehicle (406) is displayed on the window (401) when the vehicle (406) exceeds the shift point (403), and the window when the vehicle exceeds the shift point (404). The vehicle number is moved to (402). When the vehicle has passed the route setting point (405), a route setting request is made for either the route 5L or 6L in the vehicle route direction. The stop position of the station A is determined according to the set route request. In the case of 5L, it stops at the 2T position of the A station, and in the case of 6L, it stops at the 8T position of the A station. The operation management database holds data on various points and windows described above.
[0022]
These data can be determined based on a certain rule from equipment information such as the position of a traffic light or the position of a station. By providing these rules in the operation management database creation function (200), the information processing device (20) can create the operation management database (191) using the route map file (151) and the linkage interlocking database (181). And This is because facility information such as stations and track circuits is registered from the route map file, and departure and arrival positions of routes such as 5L and 6L are registered from the connection linkage database.
