Description

【００３５】
ここで、列車運行情報Ｄ１は、各列車１７毎の発着ダイヤ等の情報であり、各プラットホーム１５を特定するための「番線」の情報と、各列車１７の到着時刻を示す「着時刻」の情報と、各列車１７の発車時刻を示す「発時刻」の情報と、各列車１７の進行方向（上り／下り）を示す「上下」の情報と、各列車１７の毎日運行／臨時運行の別を示す「運行区分」の情報と、各列車１７の「列車番号」の情報と、各列車１７の種別（貨物／普通／特急等）を示す「列車種別」の情報と、各列車１７の呼び名である「表示列車名」の情報と、各列車１７の「行先」の情報と、各列車１７における車両の組合せ等に係る「編成パターン名」の情報と、各プラットホーム１５における列車１７の「停車位置（列車１７の先頭位置）」の情報とが、対応付けられて、テーブルデータとして列車運行管理装置３１内に記録される。
【００３６】
車両情報データベース３２は、ハードディスクドライブ等の更新記録可能な記録媒体を有するコンピュータ等が利用されており、次の表２に示す各列車１７の車両パターン情報Ｄ３を記憶する。
【００３７】
【表２】

【００３８】
ここで、各列車１７の車両パターン情報Ｄ３は、列車１７の各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…と、表１中の「編成パターン名」との対応関係において、その各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…に対応する車両の内容（冷房の状態、号番、喫煙の可否等）とが記録されたテーブルデータである。また、表２には示されていないが、各列車１７の車両パターン情報Ｄ３には、各「編成パターン名」と各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…との対応関係において、各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…の列車先頭からの離間距離（Ｌ１〜Ｌｎ：ただしｎは最大扉数）を示すデータが含まれる（図３〜図８参照）。
【００３９】
停止位置センサー３３は、例えば列車１７の最先頭部に設けられた磁気式または光学式の発信機と、プラットホーム１５側に設けられた受信機とを用いたり、あるいは、プラットホーム１５側にフォトインタラプタ等を用いて、例えば、１秒等の所定時間毎に、列車１７がプラットホーム１５内に停車したときの当該列車１７の先頭位置を検出し、例えばプラットホーム１５の所定位置から列車１７の先頭位置までの離間距離の情報Ｄ２として中央制御装置３６に出力するものである。尚、列車１７のプラットホーム１５での停車位置は、列車１７の種別によって予め決まっているため、この停止位置センサー３３は、その各列車１７の種類に対応して、予想される停車位置の付近に複数個設置され、これによって、列車１７の停車位置が予定からずれた場合に、そのずれた距離を検出することが可能となっている。
【００４０】
任意情報提供部３４は、コンピュータ本体４１と、ディスプレイ装置４２と、キーボード及びマウス等の入力装置４３とを備えるパーソナルコンピュータ等のコンピュータ装置が使用され、例えばインターネット等から収集した天気予報等の任意の情報や、オペレーターが自ら作成して入力装置４３で入力した任意のメッセージ等の任意情報Ｄ４を、中央制御装置３６に提供する。
【００４１】
乗車口案内表示板２１は、図９のように、各プラットホーム１５毎に１個ずつ設けられた横長状の文字表示用ディスプレイ装置であり、ＬＥＤ電光表示板等が使用されて、例えば、図１１の如く、先発列車の扉Ｅに対応する位置４５に、「表示列車名」、「発時刻」、「行先」（表１参照）、「自由席／指定席」の別、「喫煙／禁煙」の別、及び「号番（〜号車の情報）」（表２参照）といった扉案内情報が、例えば２段併記に表示される。尚、乗車口案内表示板２１は、上述のＬＥＤ電光表示板に限るものではなく、例えばＣＲＴや液晶など、列車１７の全長に亘って連続した表示領域を確保できる構成であれば、どのような表示方式を採用しても差し支えない。
【００４２】
表示制御装置３５は、中央制御装置３６から与えられた表示内容情報Ｄ５（後述）を、乗車口案内表示板２１の各ドット毎の発光信号Ｄ６に変換して出力し、これにより乗車口案内表示板２１の表示を制御する。
【００４３】
中央制御装置３６は、ＣＰＵ、ＲＯＭ及びＲＡＭ等を備えるコンピュータシステムであり、列車運行管理装置３１からの列車運行情報Ｄ１に基づいて各列車１７の車両パターン情報Ｄ３を車両情報データベース３２から呼び出し、さらに停止位置センサー３３から与えられた各列車１７の停止位置情報Ｄ２に応じて各車両の各扉（図１１中の符合Ｅ）の位置を判断した後、乗車口案内表示板２１の各扉Ｅに対応する位置４５に、図１１に示したような扉案内情報を表示するよう、表示内容情報Ｄ５を生成し、これを表示制御装置３５に伝達する。
【００４４】
また、単一の乗車口案内表示板２１の有効な表示領域が、列車１７の長さ方向に亘っているので、列車１７の扉Ｅ０１〜Ｅ０３の位置以外の部分については、乗車口案内表示板２１の表示領域が余剰状態となる。このような乗車口案内表示板２１の表示領域の余剰部分について、中央制御装置３６は、任意情報提供部３４から与えられた任意情報Ｄ４として、例えば通過列車の警告や、その他の様々な情報を表示するように、表示内容情報Ｄ５を生成する。
【００４５】
この中央制御装置３６の具体的な機能は、後述の｛動作｝の記述に委ねることとし、ここではその詳説を省略する。
【００４６】
｛動作｝
上記した列車乗車口案内表示システムの動作を説明する。
【００４７】
まず、図１２に示したフローチャート中のステップＳ１０１において、中央制御装置３６は、プラットホーム１５の営業時間が開始するまで待機する。この場合、中央制御装置３６は表示内容を生成しないため、乗車口案内表示板２１には表示が行われない。そして、そのプラットホーム１５の営業時間に達した時点で、ステップＳ１０２に進む。
【００４８】
ステップＳ１０２において、中央制御装置３６は、列車運行管理装置３１から列車運行情報Ｄ１を取り込む。そして、ステップＳ１０３において、中央制御装置３６は、列車運行情報Ｄ１内の情報に応じて、次に入線予定の列車が通過列車か否かを判断する。このとき、次に入線予定の列車が通過列車である場合は、図１４に示したフローチャートに沿って処理が行われる（後述）。一方、次に入線予定の列車が通過列車でない場合は、ステップＳ１０４に進む。
【００４９】
ステップＳ１０４では、列車運行情報Ｄ１に基づいて、各プラットホーム１５から後続して発車する列車が残っているか否かを判断する。そして、後続の列車１７が残っていない場合は、図１６に示したフローチャートに沿って処理が行われる（後述）。一方、後続の列車１７が残っている場合は、次のステップＳ１０５に進む。
【００５０】
ステップＳ１０５では、中央制御装置３６は、任意情報提供部３４から任意情報Ｄ４が与えられているか否かを判断する。尚、この任意情報Ｄ４は、オペレータが入力装置４３を用いて手入力により得られたメッセージ等を含む。任意情報提供部３４から任意情報Ｄ４が与えられている場合は、図１８に示したフローチャートに沿って処理が行われる（後述）。一方、任意情報提供部３４から任意情報Ｄ４が与えられていない場合は、次のステップＳ１０６に進む。
【００５１】
ステップＳ１０６では、中央制御装置３６は、表１に示した列車運行情報Ｄ１のなかから、各プラットホーム１５に対応する先発列車の「表示列車名」及び「編成パターン名」等のデータを一式取り出す。
【００５２】
そして、ステップＳ１０７において、中央制御装置３６は、「編成パターン名」をキーとして、車両情報データベース３２内の車両パターン情報Ｄ３から、各車両の扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…の位置情報（図３〜図８中のＬ１〜Ｌｎ）と各車両毎の固有情報（「自由席」車両であるか「指定席」車両であるかの別、及び「喫煙車」であるか「禁煙車」等の情報）を取り出す。
【００５３】
次に、ステップＳ１０８において、列車運行情報Ｄ１内の各列車１７の先頭位置の情報と扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…（図３〜図８参照）の位置情報とに基づいて、列車１７の停車時に予想される各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…（図３〜図８参照）の位置を求め、それに対応する乗車口案内表示板２１における表示位置（表示ドット位置等）を算出する。
【００５４】
そして、図１３中のステップＳ１０９において、中央制御装置３６は、図１１の如く、乗車口案内表示板２１の扉Ｅに対応する位置４５に、「表示列車名」、「発時刻」、「行先」（表１参照）、「自由席／指定席」の別、「喫煙／禁煙」の別、及び「号番（〜号車の情報）」（表２参照）といった扉案内情報を、例えば２段併記に生成し、これを表示内容情報Ｄ５として表示制御装置３５に送信する。この際、中央制御装置３６は、乗車口案内表示板２１に表示される文字情報の色及び輝度等をも特定する。
【００５５】
そして、ステップＳ１１０において、表示制御装置３５は、中央制御装置３６から与えられた表示内容情報Ｄ５を発光信号Ｄ６に変換し、乗車口案内表示板２１に送信して表示を実行する（図１１）。
【００５６】
続くステップＳ１１１において、次に近い（次発）列車１７の列車運行情報Ｄ１を取り込む。そして、ステップＳ１１２で、先発列車の扉Ｅの対応位置４５（図１１）以外の余剰エリアに、この次発の「列車名」及び「発車時刻」を表示する。
【００５７】
そして、ステップＳ１１３において、先発列車が入線するのを待機する。そして、先発列車が入線してきても、ステップＳ１１４の如く、停止位置センサー３３が列車を検出するまで引き続き待機する。さらに、停止位置センサー３３が列車を検出しても、停止位置センサー３３のから与えられたプラットホーム１５の所定位置から列車１７の先頭位置までの離間距離の情報Ｄ２が、所定の範囲になるまで待機する（ステップＳ１１５）。
【００５８】
次に、ステップＳ１１６において、停止位置センサー３３で得られた離間距離の情報Ｄ２と、列車運行情報Ｄ１内の列車１７の「停車位置」の先頭位置とが一致しているか否かを判断する。そして、一致していない場合は、図２０に示したフローチャートに沿って処理が行われる（後述）。一方、列車運行情報Ｄ１内の列車１７の「停車位置」の先頭位置とが一致している場合は、ステップＳ１１７に進む。
【００５９】
ステップＳ１１７では、停止位置センサー３３が列車の発車を検出するまで待機する。その後、ステップＳ１０３に戻って処理を繰り返す。
【００６０】
このように、列車１７の各扉Ｅ０１，Ｅ０２…に対応した正確な位置に、その車両情報を表示できるので、乗客は速やかに且つ十分認識して所望の車両に乗車できる効果がある。
【００６１】
次に、上記したステップＳ１０３（図１２）で、次に入線予定の列車が通過列車である場合の通過列車案内表示の動作について図１４のフローチャートに沿って説明する。
【００６２】
この場合、中央制御装置３６は、ステップＳ２０１において、その次に入線予定とされている列車１７が上り列車か下り列車かを、表１に示した列車運行情報Ｄ１中の「上下」の情報に基づいて判断する。
【００６３】
この場合において、上り列車であれば、ステップＳ２０２に進み、例えば「→→→○○列車が通過します・御注意ください！→→→」（ただし、「○○」は列車運行情報Ｄ１における、次に入線予定の列車の種別である）といった表示メッセージを表示内容情報Ｄ５として、中央制御装置３６から表示制御装置３５に送信する。この場合、中央制御装置３６は、表示メッセージを表示する際の時間的な間隔や、表示色及び輝度等の情報を併せて表示制御装置３５に送信する。
【００６４】
一方、下り列車であれば、ステップＳ２０３に進み、例えば図１５に示したような「←←←○○列車が通過します・御注意ください！←←←」（ただし、「○○」は列車運行情報Ｄ１における、次に入線予定の列車の種別である）といった表示メッセージを表示内容情報Ｄ５として、中央制御装置３６から表示制御装置３５に送信する。この場合、中央制御装置３６は、表示メッセージを表示する際の時間的な間隔や、表示色及び輝度等の情報を併せて表示制御装置３５に送信する。
【００６５】
表示制御装置３５は、ステップＳ２０４において、受信した表示情報を発光信号Ｄ６に変換して乗車口案内表示板２１に表示する。
【００６６】
続いて、ステップＳ２０５において、列車運行情報Ｄ１として車両接近情報を受信するまで待機する。そして、車両接近情報を受信した時点で、ステップＳ２０６に進み、中央制御装置３６は表示制御装置３５に、例えば図１５に示したような表示メッセージを赤色表示するよう表示指示する。この表示指示は表示内容情報Ｄ５によって行われる。そして、この表示指示に応じて、表示制御装置３５は、上記の表示メッセージを赤色でフリッカするように発光信号（Ｄ６）に変換し乗車口案内表示板２１に表示する（ステップＳ２０７）。
【００６７】
しかる後、ステップＳ２０８において、停止位置センサー３３は車両の通過を検出するまで待機する。その後、ステップＳ１０３に戻り、処理を繰り返す。
【００６８】
このようにすれば、通過列車の予告を乗客が継続的に知ることができるとともに、通過直前には赤色フリッカ表示にて危険を予知できるので、通過列車に対する乗客の安全性を増す効果がある。
【００６９】
次に、上記したステップＳ１０４（図１２）で、後続の列車１７が残っていない場合の運行終了時の表示動作について、図１６のフローチャートに沿って説明する。
【００７０】
まず図１６中のステップＳ３０１において、中央制御装置３６は、表示内容情報Ｄ５として「＜３番線＞このホームからの電車は終了しました。」といった表示メッセージを生成し、この表示メッセージを表示制御装置３５に送信する。この際、表示メッセージを表示する時間的間隔や、表示色及び輝度についての情報を表示内容情報Ｄ５に含める。
【００７１】
次のステップＳ３０２において、表示制御装置３５は受信した表示内容情報Ｄ５に基づいて、上記の表示メッセージを発光信号Ｄ６に変換し、図１７の如く、乗車口案内表示板２１に表示する。そして、ステップＳ３０３において、営業時間終了まで待機する。この際、中央制御装置３６内に設けられたタイマーにより時刻計時を行い、予め設定された営業終了時間に到達するか否かを判断するようにする。
【００７２】
そして、営業終了時間に到達した時点で、ステップＳ３０４において、中央制御装置３６は表示制御装置３５に表示停止を指示するとともに、表示制御装置３５及び乗車口案内表示板２１の電源を切断し、運用を終了する。
【００７３】
このようにすれば、プラットホーム１５において発車する電車がないことを乗客が表示により認識できる。即ち、サービスの向上を図ることができるとともに、営業終了とともに表示に関わる機器の電源を切断するので、省エネルギーの効果を奏することができる。
【００７４】
次に、上記したステップＳ１０５（図１２）で、任意情報提供部３４から任意情報Ｄ４が与えられている場合の当該任意情報Ｄ４の表示動作について、図１８のフローチャートに沿って説明する。
【００７５】
まず、例えば入力装置４３によりオペレーターが乗車口案内表示板２１の表示領域内での表示位置（一般に複数箇所）を指定入力する。そうすると、その表示位置の情報が、任意情報提供部３４から中央制御装置３６に送信される。中央制御装置３６では、かかる表示位置の情報を記憶する（ステップＳ４０１）。
【００７６】
次に、オペレーターは、ステップＳ４０２で、自ら作成したメッセージや、インターネット等から入手した天気予報等の情報を、任意情報Ｄ４として任意情報提供部３４から中央制御装置３６に送信する。中央制御装置３６はその情報を記憶する。
【００７７】
中央制御装置３６は、ステップＳ４０３において、任意情報提供部３４から与えられた表示位置と任意情報Ｄ４に基づいて、乗車口案内表示板２１に表示すべき内容（表示メッセージ、表示色及び輝度等を含む）を表示内容情報Ｄ５として表示制御装置３５へ送信する。
【００７８】
そして、ステップＳ４０４において、表示制御装置３５は上記表示内容情報Ｄ５を発光情報Ｄ６に変換して乗車口案内表示板２１へ送り、例えば図１９のように、乗車口案内表示板２１の扉Ｅに対応する位置４５に扉案内情報を表示すると同時に、余剰エリア４７に任意情報Ｄ４を表示する。
【００７９】
しかる後、再びステップＳ１０３に戻り、処理を繰り返す。
【００８０】
このように、オペレータの指定した余剰エリア４７に任意情報Ｄ４を表示することが可能であるので、乗車口案内表示板２１の余剰エリア４７を有効活用して各種情報サービスを随時表示装置に表示でき、乗客へのサービス向上を図る効果がある。
【００８１】
次に、上記したステップＳ１１６（図１３）において、停止位置センサー３３で得られた離間距離の情報Ｄ２と、列車運行情報Ｄ１内の列車１７の「停車位置」の先頭位置とが一致していない場合（即ち、列車の停止位置がずれた場合）に、扉案内情報の表示位置を変更する動作について、図２０のフローチャートに沿って説明する。
【００８２】
まず、図２１の如く、列車１７がプラットホーム１５に停車している状態では、プラットホーム１５内での列車の停車位置がずれていても、最初の一度だけ扉案内情報の表示位置を変更すれば、あとはその位置を係属して維持すればいいだけである。したがって、最初のステップＳ５０１では、中央制御装置３６において、停止位置センサー３３での列車１７の先頭位置の検出が、先に停止位置センサー３３で検出した列車１７と同一であるか否かを判断し、さらにその検出が１回目であるか否かを判断する。そして、現在検出している列車１７が先に検出した列車と同一でなかったり、あるいは、現在検出している列車１７が先に検出した列車と同一であっても、現在の検出が当該列車１７について１回目の検出でない場合は、図１３に示したステップＳ１１７に戻って、上述したステップＳ１１７以降の処理を行う。
【００８３】
一方、ステップＳ５０１において、プラットホーム１５に停車している列車１７が先に検出した列車と同一であり、且つその列車１７に対する停止位置センサー３３での検出が１回目の検出である場合には、次のステップＳ５０２に進む。
【００８４】
ステップＳ５０２では、図２１の如く、停止位置センサー３３により検出された先頭位置４９と、列車運行情報Ｄ１から得られた「停車位置（列車１７の先頭位置）」５１との差分Ｌｓ（正，負あり）を求める。
【００８５】
そして、ステップＳ５０３において、ステップＳ１０７（図１２）で求めた扉位置情報の乗車口案内表示板２１における表示位置を補正する。
【００８６】
しかる後、ステップＳ１０８に戻って処理を継続する。
【００８７】
このように、列車１７の停止位置が所定位置よりずれても、列車１７の進行方向に対して連続した表示を行うことの可能な乗車口案内表示板２１において、扉案内情報の表示位置を変更するだけでよいので、扉Ｅに正確に対応した位置に車両情報を表示できる効果がある。
【００８８】
以上説明したように、この実施の形態においては、乗車口案内表示板２１を一度設置すると、全ての種類の列車１７に対応して正確な扉Ｅの位置に扉案内情報を表示できるため、乗車口案内表示板２１の移動や追加工事を必要としないで済む。
【００８９】
また、列車１７の停車位置が所定の位置からずれた場合に、乗車口案内表示板２１での扉案内情報の表示位置を自動的にずらすことが可能であるため、乗客の混乱を防ぐことが可能である。
【００９０】
さらに、乗車口案内表示板２１の全面を利用して、通過列車の警告や、運行終了等の表示を行うことも可能であるため、重要な表示メッセージについては、視認性を高めて表示することができる。
【００９１】
さらにまた、乗車口案内表示板２１において、扉案内情報を表示する必要のない余剰エリア４７を利用して、列車の運行情報、ニュース、天気予報及び広告等の任意情報Ｄ４を適宜表示することができるため、乗車口案内表示板２１を多目的表示板として有効活用することが可能である。
【００９２】
この場合、オペレータが任意情報提供部３４に任意に情報を入力できるので、フレキシブルに表示を行うことが可能となる。特に、余剰エリア４７の位置指定を任意情報提供部３４で行うことが可能なので、便利である。
【００９３】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、プラットホームにおいて、入線する列車の進行方向に沿って複数の種類の列車の長さに対応する所定の長さに設定された単一の乗車口案内表示板を用いて、扉案内情報等を表示しているので、乗車口案内表示板を一度設置すると、全ての種類の列車に対応して扉案内情報を表示できるため、乗車口案内表示板の移動や追加工事を必要としないで済む。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
{Overview}
First, the outline of the present invention will be described.
[0024]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conventional boarding gate guidance display board 1, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state where a conventional train boarding guidance display system is used on a platform of a train station.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional entrance information display board 1 uses an LED light display board or the like in which character information and the like are displayed in the form of dots. For example, the starting train (that is, the departure time is closest to the current time). (Train) information (I1) and next train information (I2) are usually written in multiple stages, and in each stage information, train name 3 of each train, departure time 5, It includes vehicle type 7, such as “reserved seat” and “reserved seat”, smoking information 9 and car number 11. The boarding gate guidance display board 1 is suspended from the ceiling of the platform by the support member 13.
[0026]
A plurality of the entrance information display boards 1 are installed at least in the vicinity of the entrances (E1 to E3) of the train 17 that stops on the platform 15, as indicated by symbols T1 to T6 in FIG. FIG. 2 shows an example in which six boarding gate guidance display plates T1 to T6 are installed and a train 17 having only three doors E1 to E3 is located on the platform 15. Accordingly, there are three boarding gate guidance display boards T1, T4, T6 that do not correspond to the doors E1 to E3 of the train 17, but these three boarding board guidance display boards T1, T4, T6 It is installed because it may be used on various types of trains.
[0027]
By the way, in recent years, as the types of trains are diversified, the position of the boarding gate is increasing for each type of train or for each vehicle. For example, in FIG. 3, there are four vehicles in the train 17, and there are three (total 12) doors E01 to E12 for each vehicle. In FIG. 4, there are six vehicles in the train 17, and there are three (18 total) doors E01 to E18 for each vehicle. Further, in FIG. 5, there are eight vehicles in the train 17, and there are three (a total of 24) doors E01 to E24 for each vehicle. Furthermore, in FIG. 6, there are six vehicles in the train 17, and there is one (total of six) doors E01 to E06 for each vehicle. However, the position of the door of the leftmost vehicle 19 in FIG. 6 is different from the positions of the doors of other vehicles. In FIG. 7, there are eight vehicles in the train 17, and there are one door for each vehicle (a total of eight) E01 to E08. However, the positions of the doors E01 to E08 are not fixed, and the positions of the doors E01, E04, E05, and E08 are shifted from the center of each vehicle. Further, in FIG. 8, there are nine vehicles in the train 17, and one of the seven vehicles in the rear row has seven doors E01 to E07, but the first two vehicles. Has become a sleeper car and a service car, and there is no door on which passengers can get on and off. Therefore, the topmost door E01 is provided in the third vehicle from the top.
[0028]
As described above, since the position of the door varies depending on the type of the train 17, when the boarding guidance display plates T1 to T6 are fixed to the platform 15 as shown in FIG. It is necessary to correspond to all types of trains 17 in FIGS. 3 to 8 and the number of installation of the entrance information display boards T1 to T6 is enormous, so there is a problem that the cost increases. It has been desired to reduce the number of installed display panels T1 to T6.
[0029]
Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, the train 17 is provided with a single boarding gate guide display board 21 having an effective display area in all areas extending in the length direction. Depending on the type of the train 17 and the type of each vehicle, the boarding gate guidance display board 21 provides guidance 23 on the positions of the doors E01 to E03 and displays various information corresponding to each train 17.
[0030]
As a result, any type of train 17 can easily correspond to the positions of the doors E01 to E03, so that it is not only necessary to move the boarding gate guide display plate 21 or to perform additional work. Even when the stop position of the train 17 is shifted, it can be easily handled by shifting the display position of the boarding gate guidance display plate 21, so that the confusion of waiting passengers can be alleviated.
[0031]
In addition, since the effective display area of the single boarding gate guidance display board 21 extends over the length direction to the train 17, about a part other than the position of the doors E01-E03 of the train 17, it is a boarding board guidance display board. This is a surplus area that does not need to guide the boarding position in spite of the display area 21. About the surplus area in such a boarding gate guidance display board 21, a surplus area can be used effectively by using as a multipurpose display board which displays the warning of a passing train, and other various information, FIG.1 and FIG.1. Compared with the conventional boarding gate guidance display board 1 shown in FIG. 2, there is an advantage that various information providing services can be performed.
[0032]
{Constitution}
FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a train boarding gate guidance display system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, this train boarding guidance display system includes a train operation management device 31 that stores train operation information D1, a vehicle information database 32 that stores vehicle pattern information D3 of each train 17, and each platform 15. A stop position sensor 33 for detecting stop position information D2 of each train 17, an arbitrary information providing unit 34 for providing various optional information D4 such as weather forecasts and various messages, and a display corresponding to the maximum length of the train 17 The above-mentioned boarding gate guide display board 21 having one area for each platform 15, the display control device 35 for controlling the display of each boarding gate guide display board 21, and the train operation management device 31. The contents of the display control in each display control device 35 are generated according to the information from the vehicle information database 32, the stop position sensor 33, and the arbitrary information providing unit 34. And a central controller 36 for controlling.
[0033]
The train operation management device 31 uses a computer having an update recordable recording medium such as a hard disk drive, and stores train operation information D1 shown in Table 1 below.
[0034]
[Table 1]

[0035]
Here, the train operation information D1 is information such as a departure / arrival schedule for each train 17, and information on “number line” for identifying each platform 15 and “arrival time” indicating the arrival time of each train 17. Information, “departure time” information indicating the departure time of each train 17, “up / down” information indicating the traveling direction (up / down) of each train 17, and daily / temporary operation of each train 17 Information of “operation classification” indicating “train number”, information of “train number” of each train 17, information of “train type” indicating the type of each train 17 (freight / normal / express, etc.), and the name of each train 17 Information of “display train name”, information of “destination” of each train 17, information of “knitting pattern name” relating to a combination of vehicles in each train 17, and “stop” of the train 17 on each platform 15 Corresponding to the information of “position (start position of train 17)” Vignetting and is recorded in the train operation management apparatus 31 as table data.
[0036]
The vehicle information database 32 uses a computer having a recordable recording medium such as a hard disk drive, and stores vehicle pattern information D3 of each train 17 shown in Table 2 below.
[0037]
[Table 2]

[0038]
Here, the vehicle pattern information D3 of each train 17 is the vehicle corresponding to each door E01, E02... In the correspondence relationship between each door E01, E02. The table data in which the contents (condition of cooling, number, smoking availability, etc.) are recorded. Although not shown in Table 2, in the vehicle pattern information D3 of each train 17, the train of each door E01, E02... In the correspondence relationship between each “knitting pattern name” and each door E01, E02. Data indicating the separation distance from the head (L1 to Ln: where n is the maximum number of doors) is included (see FIGS. 3 to 8).
[0039]
The stop position sensor 33 uses, for example, a magnetic or optical transmitter provided at the top of the train 17 and a receiver provided on the platform 15 side, or a photo interrupter or the like on the platform 15 side. Is used to detect the leading position of the train 17 when the train 17 stops in the platform 15 at predetermined time intervals such as 1 second, for example, from the predetermined position of the platform 15 to the leading position of the train 17. This information is output to the central controller 36 as the distance D2 information. In addition, since the stop position of the train 17 on the platform 15 is determined in advance depending on the type of the train 17, the stop position sensor 33 is located in the vicinity of the expected stop position corresponding to the type of each train 17. A plurality of them are installed, so that when the stop position of the train 17 deviates from the schedule, it is possible to detect the deviated distance.
[0040]
The optional information providing unit 34 uses a computer device such as a personal computer including a computer main body 41, a display device 42, and an input device 43 such as a keyboard and a mouse. For example, an arbitrary information providing unit 34 such as a weather forecast collected from the Internet or the like. Information and arbitrary information D4 such as an arbitrary message created by the operator and input by the input device 43 are provided to the central control device 36.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 9, the boarding gate guidance display board 21 is a horizontally long display device for character display provided for each platform 15, and an LED light display board or the like is used. In the position 45 corresponding to the door E of the starting train, “smoking / non-smoking”, “display train name”, “departure time”, “destination” (see Table 1), “reserved seat / designated seat” The door guidance information such as “No. (No. Information of Car No.)” (see Table 2) is displayed, for example, in two columns. In addition, the boarding direction guidance display board 21 is not restricted to the above-mentioned LED electric light display board, For example, if it is a structure which can ensure the continuous display area over the full length of the train 17, such as CRT and a liquid crystal, what kind of thing? A display method may be adopted.
[0042]
The display control device 35 converts display content information D5 (described later) given from the central control device 36 into a light emission signal D6 for each dot on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 and outputs it, thereby the boarding gate guidance display. The display of the board 21 is controlled.
[0043]
The central control device 36 is a computer system including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and calls the vehicle pattern information D3 of each train 17 from the vehicle information database 32 based on the train operation information D1 from the train operation management device 31, and further After determining the position of each door (sign E in FIG. 11) of each vehicle according to the stop position information D2 of each train 17 given from the stop position sensor 33, each door E of the boarding gate guidance display board 21 is displayed. Display content information D5 is generated so as to display the door guidance information as shown in FIG. 11 at the corresponding position 45, and this is transmitted to the display control device 35.
[0044]
Moreover, since the effective display area of the single boarding direction guidance display board 21 is covering the length direction of the train 17, about parts other than the position of the doors E01-E03 of the train 17, it is a boarding board guidance display board. The display area 21 is in a surplus state. For the surplus portion of the display area of the boarding gate guidance display board 21, the central control device 36 displays, for example, a warning about a passing train and other various information as the optional information D4 given from the optional information providing unit 34. Display content information D5 is generated so as to be displayed.
[0045]
The specific function of the central control device 36 is left to the description of {operation} described later, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.
[0046]
{Action}
The operation of the above-described train boarding guidance display system will be described.
[0047]
First, in step S101 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, the central controller 36 stands by until the business hours of the platform 15 start. In this case, since the central controller 36 does not generate display content, no display is performed on the boarding gate guidance display board 21. Then, when the business hours of the platform 15 are reached, the process proceeds to step S102.
[0048]
In step S <b> 102, the central control device 36 takes in the train operation information D <b> 1 from the train operation management device 31. In step S103, the central control device 36 determines whether or not the next train scheduled to enter is a passing train according to the information in the train operation information D1. At this time, if the next train scheduled to enter is a passing train, processing is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 (described later). On the other hand, when the train scheduled to enter next is not a passing train, the process proceeds to step S104.
[0049]
In step S <b> 104, it is determined based on the train operation information D <b> 1 whether there are any remaining trains that depart from each platform 15. And when the following train 17 does not remain, a process is performed along the flowchart shown in FIG. 16 (after-mentioned). On the other hand, when the following train 17 remains, it progresses to the following step S105.
[0050]
In step S105, the central control device 36 determines whether or not the arbitrary information D4 is given from the arbitrary information providing unit 34. The arbitrary information D4 includes a message or the like obtained by manual input by the operator using the input device 43. When the arbitrary information D4 is given from the arbitrary information providing unit 34, processing is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 18 (described later). On the other hand, when the arbitrary information D4 is not given from the arbitrary information providing unit 34, the process proceeds to the next step S106.
[0051]
In step S106, the central controller 36 extracts a set of data such as “display train name” and “knitting pattern name” of the starting train corresponding to each platform 15 from the train operation information D1 shown in Table 1.
[0052]
Then, in step S107, the central controller 36 uses the “knitting pattern name” as a key, and from the vehicle pattern information D3 in the vehicle information database 32, the position information (FIGS. 3 to 8) of the doors E01, E02. L1-Ln) and specific information for each vehicle (whether it is a “free seat” vehicle or a “designated seat” vehicle, and information such as “smoking car” or “non-smoking car”) Take out.
[0053]
Next, in step S108, it is predicted when the train 17 stops based on the information on the head position of each train 17 in the train operation information D1 and the position information on the doors E01, E02 (see FIGS. 3 to 8). The positions of the doors E01, E02 (see FIGS. 3 to 8) are obtained, and the display positions (display dot positions and the like) on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 corresponding to the doors are calculated.
[0054]
Then, in step S109 in FIG. 13, the central control device 36, as shown in FIG. 11, places the “display train name”, “departure time”, “destination” at a position 45 corresponding to the door E of the boarding gate guidance display board 21. (See Table 1), “Reserved seat / designated seat”, “Smoking / non-smoking”, and “No. This is also generated and transmitted to the display control device 35 as display content information D5. At this time, the central control device 36 also specifies the color, brightness, etc. of the character information displayed on the boarding gate guidance display board 21.
[0055]
In step S110, the display control device 35 converts the display content information D5 given from the central control device 36 into a light emission signal D6 and transmits it to the boarding gate guidance display board 21 to execute display (FIG. 11). .
[0056]
In subsequent step S111, the train operation information D1 of the next (next) train 17 is fetched. In step S112, the next “train name” and “departure time” are displayed in a surplus area other than the corresponding position 45 (FIG. 11) of the door E of the previous train.
[0057]
And in step S113, it waits for a starting train to enter. And even if the starting train enters, as shown in step S114, it continues to wait until the stop position sensor 33 detects the train. Furthermore, even if the stop position sensor 33 detects a train, the standby position information D2 from the predetermined position of the platform 15 to the start position of the train 17 given from the stop position sensor 33 is in a standby state. (Step S115).
[0058]
Next, in step S116, it is determined whether or not the separation distance information D2 obtained by the stop position sensor 33 matches the head position of the “stop position” of the train 17 in the train operation information D1. If they do not match, processing is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 20 (described later). On the other hand, when the head position of the “stop position” of the train 17 in the train operation information D1 coincides, the process proceeds to step S117.
[0059]
In step S117, it waits until the stop position sensor 33 detects the departure of a train. Then, it returns to step S103 and repeats a process.
[0060]
Thus, since the vehicle information can be displayed at an accurate position corresponding to each door E01, E02... Of the train 17, the passenger can quickly and sufficiently recognize and get on the desired vehicle.
[0061]
Next, in the above-described step S103 (FIG. 12), the operation of the passing train guidance display when the next train scheduled to enter is a passing train will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0062]
In this case, the central controller 36 determines in step S201 whether the next train 17 scheduled to be entered is the up train or the down train in the “up / down” information in the train operation information D1 shown in Table 1. Judgment based on.
[0063]
In this case, if the train is an up train, the process proceeds to step S202, for example, “→→→ ○○ train passes and be careful! →→→” (where “XX” is the train operation information D1, Next, a display message such as the type of train scheduled to enter the line is transmitted as display content information D5 from the central control device 36 to the display control device 35. In this case, the central control device 36 transmits information such as the time interval when displaying the display message, the display color, and the luminance to the display control device 35 together.
[0064]
On the other hand, if it is a down train, the process proceeds to step S203, for example, “←←← ○○ train passes, please be careful!” As shown in FIG. 15! A display message such as the type of train to be next entered in the operation information D1 is transmitted from the central control device 36 to the display control device 35 as display content information D5. In this case, the central control device 36 transmits information such as a time interval at the time of displaying the display message, display color, and luminance to the display control device 35 together.
[0065]
In step S204, the display control device 35 converts the received display information into a light emission signal D6 and displays it on the boarding gate guidance display board 21.
[0066]
Then, in step S205, it waits until vehicle approach information is received as train operation information D1. When the vehicle approach information is received, the process proceeds to step S206, and the central control device 36 instructs the display control device 35 to display a display message as shown in FIG. 15 in red, for example. This display instruction is given by the display content information D5. In response to this display instruction, the display control device 35 converts the display message into a light emission signal (D6) so as to flicker in red and displays it on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 (step S207).
[0067]
Thereafter, in step S208, the stop position sensor 33 stands by until it detects the passage of the vehicle. Then, it returns to step S103 and repeats a process.
[0068]
In this way, the passenger can continuously know the advance notice of the passing train, and the danger can be predicted with a red flicker display immediately before the passing, so there is an effect of increasing the safety of the passenger with respect to the passing train.
[0069]
Next, the display operation at the end of operation when the subsequent train 17 does not remain in step S104 (FIG. 12) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0070]
First, in step S301 in FIG. 16, the central control device 36 generates a display message such as “<No. 3> the train from this home has ended” as the display content information D5, and displays this display message as a display control device. 35. At this time, information about a time interval for displaying the display message, display color, and luminance is included in the display content information D5.
[0071]
In the next step S302, the display control device 35 converts the display message into a light emission signal D6 based on the received display content information D5, and displays it on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 as shown in FIG. In step S303, the process waits until the end of business hours. At this time, the time is measured by a timer provided in the central control unit 36, and it is determined whether or not a preset business end time is reached.
[0072]
When the business end time is reached, in step S304, the central control device 36 instructs the display control device 35 to stop the display, and the display control device 35 and the boarding gate guidance display board 21 are turned off and operated. Exit.
[0073]
In this way, the passenger can recognize from the display that there is no train departing from the platform 15. In other words, the service can be improved, and the power of the device related to the display is turned off at the end of the business, so that an energy saving effect can be achieved.
[0074]
Next, the display operation of the arbitrary information D4 when the arbitrary information D4 is given from the arbitrary information providing unit 34 in step S105 (FIG. 12) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0075]
First, for example, the operator designates and inputs a display position (generally a plurality of locations) within the display area of the boarding gate guidance display board 21 using the input device 43. Then, the information on the display position is transmitted from the arbitrary information providing unit 34 to the central control device 36. The central controller 36 stores the information on the display position (step S401).
[0076]
Next, in step S402, the operator transmits information created by himself or information such as a weather forecast obtained from the Internet or the like as optional information D4 from the optional information providing unit 34 to the central controller 36. The central controller 36 stores the information.
[0077]
In step S403, the central controller 36 displays the contents (display message, display color, brightness, etc.) to be displayed on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 based on the display position and the optional information D4 given from the optional information providing unit 34. Are included) as display content information D5.
[0078]
In step S404, the display control device 35 converts the display content information D5 into light emission information D6 and sends it to the boarding gate guidance display board 21. For example, as shown in FIG. At the same time as displaying the door guidance information at the corresponding position 45, the optional information D4 is displayed in the surplus area 47.
[0079]
Thereafter, the process returns to step S103 and the process is repeated.
[0080]
Thus, since it is possible to display the arbitrary information D4 in the surplus area 47 designated by the operator, various information services can be displayed on the display device as needed by effectively utilizing the surplus area 47 of the boarding gate guidance display board 21. This has the effect of improving service to passengers.
[0081]
Next, in step S116 (FIG. 13) described above, the separation distance information D2 obtained by the stop position sensor 33 does not coincide with the head position of the “stop position” of the train 17 in the train operation information D1. The operation of changing the display position of the door guidance information in the case (that is, when the stop position of the train is shifted) will be described along the flowchart of FIG.
[0082]
First, as shown in FIG. 21, in the state where the train 17 is stopped on the platform 15, even if the stop position of the train in the platform 15 is shifted, if the display position of the door guidance information is changed only once, All that remains is to maintain and maintain that position. Therefore, in the first step S501, the central controller 36 determines whether the detection of the start position of the train 17 by the stop position sensor 33 is the same as the train 17 previously detected by the stop position sensor 33. Further, it is determined whether or not the detection is the first time. And even if the currently detected train 17 is not the same as the previously detected train, or even if the currently detected train 17 is the same as the previously detected train, the current detection is the relevant train 17. If the detection is not the first time, the process returns to step S117 shown in FIG. 13 and the processes after step S117 described above are performed.
[0083]
On the other hand, in step S501, when the train 17 stopped on the platform 15 is the same as the previously detected train and the detection by the stop position sensor 33 for the train 17 is the first detection, The process proceeds to step S502.
[0084]
In step S502, as shown in FIG. 21, the difference Ls (positive, negative) between the head position 49 detected by the stop position sensor 33 and the “stop position (head position of the train 17)” 51 obtained from the train operation information D1. Yes).
[0085]
In step S503, the display position of the door position information obtained in step S107 (FIG. 12) on the boarding gate guidance display board 21 is corrected.
[0086]
Thereafter, the process returns to step S108 to continue the processing.
[0087]
Thus, even if the stop position of the train 17 deviates from a predetermined position, the display position of the door guidance information is changed on the boarding guidance display plate 21 capable of performing continuous display in the traveling direction of the train 17. Therefore, vehicle information can be displayed at a position corresponding to the door E accurately.
[0088]
As described above, in this embodiment, once the boarding gate guidance display plate 21 is installed, the door guidance information can be displayed at the exact position of the door E corresponding to all types of trains 17. It is not necessary to move the mouth guidance display plate 21 or perform additional work.
[0089]
In addition, when the stop position of the train 17 deviates from a predetermined position, the display position of the door guidance information on the boarding gate guidance display plate 21 can be automatically shifted, so that it is possible to prevent passengers from being confused. Is possible.
[0090]
Furthermore, since it is possible to display the warning of passing trains and the display of operation completion using the entire surface of the boarding gate guidance display board 21, important display messages are displayed with improved visibility. Can do.
[0091]
Furthermore, on the boarding gate guidance display board 21, it is possible to appropriately display arbitrary information D4 such as train operation information, news, weather forecasts, and advertisements using the surplus area 47 that does not need to display door guidance information. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the boarding gate guidance display board 21 as a multipurpose display board.
[0092]
In this case, since the operator can arbitrarily input information to the arbitrary information providing unit 34, the display can be performed flexibly. In particular, the position of the surplus area 47 can be designated by the arbitrary information providing unit 34, which is convenient.
[0093]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, on the platform, a door is used by using a single entrance guide display plate set to a predetermined length corresponding to the length of a plurality of types of trains along the traveling direction of the train to be entered. Since the guide information is displayed, once the boarding information display board is installed, the door guidance information can be displayed for all types of trains. I don't have to.
