Description

  The present invention relates to a passenger traffic system information display method for providing train schedule information to customers who are waiting for boarding at a ticket gate of a passenger traffic system station such as a train or a monorail or at each platform.

  In each station such as a railroad, a sign board is provided for each platform, and information on the trains that arrive and depart, such as the departure time and arrival number of the train that arrives and departs at that platform, the destination number, and the number of vehicles is displayed. In addition, when the next train arrives and departs, or when an operation abnormality such as a delay occurs, an announcement to that effect is made.

  On the other hand, a technique for displaying the train operation status in more detail has also been proposed. As an example, a display section is provided in the concourse or platform of the station, and the station before and after this, including this station, along with the station name is displayed on this display section for each of the next and subsequent trains. The route map shown is displayed, and the current position of the first train and the subsequent train, the time to arrive at this station (wait time), the wait time at each station after this station, the train name It is displayed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  As another example, it is displayed on a personal computer operated by a station attendant. A linear screen showing the status of each train between two stations before and after this station, and this linear screen A tabular screen showing the train number, train type, nickname, destination, arrival time, departure time, departure / arrival line name, delay time, etc. of each train to be displayed is displayed (for example, see Patent Document 2). ).

On the other hand, a train driving one route is generally managed by an operation pattern diagram in which distance (station) is set on the vertical axis and time is set on the horizontal axis. According to this operation pattern diagram, the operation status of each train can be grasped in time series, and it can be grasped at what station and at what station the starting train is overtaken by the succeeding train. (For example, see Reference 3)
JP-A-7-285438 Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-212633 JP H10-329718

  According to the prior arts of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the user can grasp the arrival time of the starting train and the succeeding train at this station and information on the subsequent stop station. However, in this conventional example, the information on the first and second trains is displayed separately, so if you do not compare the information on each train, for example, which train will arrive at the destination first, or where I can't figure out if I can transfer at a station. For this reason, when departure time approaches, there is a problem in grasping a train to be boarded immediately.

  Moreover, since all trains have been drawn on the time axis and distance axis (station) in the operation pattern diagram that has been widely used by train operation managers, which train is the best for an expert. You can quickly get to your destination or know where you can transfer to. The general user has a problem in understanding this complicated driving pattern diagram. In particular, for general users, if the train's starting order, arrival order, and transit are useful, the transit information is useful, so it can be said that the operation pattern diagram is too complex to be easily understood by the user. .

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an information display method for a passenger traffic system in which the relationship between the train departure order and the arrival time can be easily understood.

  In the information display method of the passenger traffic system according to the present invention, a train arrival and departure time table for managing the arrival and departure times of trains at each station, a guidance display board for displaying train information at each station, and the train arrival and departure time table A control device for displaying train information at the station on the information display board based on the information display board, the horizontal axis is the axis of arrangement of the station where the station name is arranged corresponding to the line, the horizontal axis A matrix region having a vertical axis that is the order of arrival / departure order that is defined by the order of arrival / departure order replacement axes that are parallel to each other, and the order is defined and displayed from the train arrival / departure time table by the order of arrival / departure order. The train identification names of the number of trains are arranged on the vertical axis, the arrival and departure times of the train identification names are sorted for each line station on the horizontal axis, the order is changed, and the sorting results are displayed in a belt-like route line To do.

  According to the present invention, it is displayed by the change of the belt-like route line how the trains arranged at the departure time change to the route and arrive at the destination. It is easy to grasp the relationship between the departure order and arrival time.

  The passenger traffic system according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. Here, FIGS. 1 to 4 show the first embodiment, and FIGS. 5 to 11 show the second to seventh embodiments. In addition, the same site | part, an arrow, etc. are shown with the same code | symbol, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. In addition, although a railway is demonstrated here as an example, other passenger traffic systems are applicable similarly.

  FIGS. 1 to 4 show a railway system including an information display board that makes it easy to grasp the relationship between the train departure order and arrival time. Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of the railway system according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a train departure / arrival time table of the railway system according to this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a generation explanatory diagram of a train guidance screen of the railway system according to this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a train guide screen of the railway system according to this embodiment.

  First, the schematic structure of this railway system will be described with reference to FIG. The railway system generally indicated by reference numeral 1 includes a command room 20 of a railway operator, and a plurality of stations 40 connected to the command room 20 of the railway operator and a wide area LAN 30. The command room 20 is provided with an operation management system 21 for managing the operation of trains, and an operation information input device 25 for inputting operation information such as train delays and operation delays to the operation management system 21. The operation management system 21 is provided with a server and a storage device (not shown). The operation management program 22 and the train arrival / departure time control program 23 installed in the operation management system 21 provide information on the arrival / departure / passage time information of the trains at each station. It is managed in real time.

  Similarly, the operation information input device 25 installed in the command room 20 includes a display device, a storage device, a keyboard, and the like (not shown), and an operation information program 26 installed in the operation information input device 25 allows each train to be operated. Operation information can be entered.

  According to the operation management system 1 according to this embodiment, the arrival / departure time information and operation information of each station 40 are sent to the control device 41 installed in the station 40 through the wide area LAN 30.

  On the other hand, each station 40 is provided with a control device 41 that includes a server and a storage device (not shown), and an information display board 50 that displays information from the control device 41. The control device 41 is equipped with a train arrival / departure time reception program 42, an operation information reception program 43, and a screen display control program 44, and receives the arrival / departure time information and operation information transmitted from the operation management system 21. Based on this, a train arrival / departure time table 60 (see FIG. 2) for managing train arrivals and departures and passage times at each station 40 is generated, and a screen image is calculated from the train arrival / departure time table 60 and output to the information display board 50. can do.

  The information display board 50 is a display device for a customer that is installed at one or more at the ticket gate of the station 40 or at each platform. For example, in this embodiment, a large thin display device such as a liquid crystal display device or a plasma display device is used, and the information display board 50 is attached by being suspended from the ceiling or installed on a floor surface through a support column. To use.

  One of the major features of the railway system according to this embodiment is that the train guidance information is easy to grasp the relationship between the train departure order and the arrival time at the destination at the station where the information display board 50 is installed. The information display board 50 which provides is in the point which employ | adopted.

  That is, the train guidance screen 100 displayed on the information display board 50 sets the train departure order axis 150 and the train arrival order axis 151 on the opposite vertical axes of the horizontally long display area, and the horizontal axis The array axis 152 of the route station is set. A plurality of train names 120 that depart from or pass through the station are arranged in order on the train departure order axis 150, and the train name 120 displayed on the departure order axis 150 is on the arrival order axis 151 that faces the train name 120. Arranged and displayed in order of arrival, between the departure order axis 150 and the arrival order axis 151, the train name 120 displayed on the departure order axis 150 and the arrival order axis 151 corresponding to the train name 120 are displayed. A route line 153 that connects the displayed train name 121 is displayed.

  Here, the train names 120 and 121 are names for identifying and specifying the train, including at least the time of departure or passage from the station, the specific noun of the specific train, the type of express or each station, or these And the time, or these parallels. The route line 153 is displayed so that the route lines 153A and 153B of the preceding train and the subsequent train intersect at the station 154 in which the departure and arrival order is changed in correspondence with the arrangement axis 152 of the route station on the horizontal axis.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a plurality of train names 120 that depart from the station 40 are displayed in the order of departure, and these trains are not pulled out or pulled out with respect to the arrangement axis 152 of the line station on the horizontal axis. It is possible to recognize which train arrives at the destination first by simply looking at the route line 153.

  In addition, one of the major features of the railway system according to this embodiment is that a departure / arrival order change axis 155 is set between train names 120 displayed on the departure order axis 150 on the vertical axis, and this arrival / departure order change axis is set. This is a point displayed so that an intersection 156 of the route line 153 is provided on 155. Thereby, the visibility of the route line 153 can be improved.

  In addition, one of the major features of the railway system 1 according to this embodiment is that an identification display 157 is provided for indicating whether or not the intersection 156 of the route line 153 can be changed (waiting for passage). Thus, by following the route line 153, it is possible to easily identify whether or not there is a transfer, and the best train at the station can be selected.

  In addition, one of the major features of the railway system 1 according to this embodiment is that the departure train guide screen 101 displays train guide information 130 along the departure order axis 150 along the arrangement axis 152 of the route station. Then, the departure time axis 150 of the departure guidance screen 101 is inherited, and the arrival time axis 151 and the destination train guidance screen 102 that displays the arrangement axis 152 and the route line 153 of the route station are switched periodically or by a specific operation. In the point.

  That is, as the train guidance information 130 conventionally provided to the user at the boarding station, the departure time information 131 of the station, the type information 132 indicating the type of each station or limited express, the train name information 133 indicating the destination, etc. There is. On the other hand, the new train guidance information provided to the user in this embodiment includes a plurality of route lines 153 displayed in a matrix area 158 composed of an array axis 152 and an arrival order axis 151 of the route station on the horizontal axis. And arrival time information 134.

  Therefore, if new train guidance information is added to the conventional train guidance information 130, each information must be made small, and there is a concern about the visibility problem. In this embodiment, a large information display board is used in a horizontal posture, and the arrangement axis 152 of the route station is arranged on the horizontal axis in the longitudinal direction. Sex issues remain.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the information necessary at the time of departure and the information related to the destination are separated, and the departure time information 131 arranged on the departure turn axis 150 connecting the two pieces of information, or the departure time information 131 and Switching is performed while leaving the type information 132 (fixed display). Then, in order to avoid confusion of the user due to switching of the screen, information necessary for departure and information relating to the destination are slide-inserted with respect to the information arranged on the departure order axis 150 fixedly displayed. (See reference screen 103). Thereby, while solving the said subject, visibility can be improved more.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the train guidance screen of the railway system 1 will be further described. Here, in the railway system 1 according to this embodiment, for a route composed of one up line and one down line, only the trains at each station that stop at each line station and only specific line stations stop. When driving an express or limited express train, and passing an express or express train at each station stop, you can meet at the platform of the passing station and make it possible to change trains, or one can pass without stopping. The railway system 1 that performs management is assumed. However, the rail system 1 according to the present invention is not limited to this as will be described later.

  First, the train departure / arrival time table 60 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. Based on the departure / arrival time information and operation information transmitted from the operation management system 21, the control device 41 generates a train arrival / departure time table 60 that manages the arrival / departure times and passage times of the trains at the station 40. The train departure / arrival time table 60 may be generated by the operation management system 21 and transmitted to each station 40.

  In FIG. 2, in the train arrival / departure time table 60 according to this embodiment, a train name indicating the type of each train is set on the vertical axis, and a route station name is set on the horizontal axis. Here, for convenience, the train name describes the type information 132, but in actuality, a train organization number for managing the train operation is added. On the horizontal axis, station names are set in order along the route from station A, which is the boarding station. In each column set on the vertical axis and the horizontal axis, a pair of arrival time (upper stage) and departure time (lower stage) at which the train arrives at the station is set. The passing time is set for the passing train.

  For example, an express train departing at 16:20 arrives at the platform of station A at 16:19 and leaves station A at 16:20. And it turns out that it passes through D station at 16:23 minutes, H station at 16:31 minutes, K station at 16:39 minutes, and arrives at N station at 16:46 minutes. Therefore, each train at 16:13 minutes, which is the first train of this limited express train, is overtaken by the limited express train of the late train at D station, and the express train passes at this D station. Then you can't change to the late limited express train.

  The control device 41 uses the train departure / arrival time table 60 as the departure order axis 150 and the arrival order axis 151 and the horizontal axis of the train arrival / departure time table 60 as the array axis 152 of the route station. The screen image of is calculated.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a process in which the control device 41 generates the train guidance screen 100. The generation method shown in FIG. 3 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  In FIG. 3A, first, the control device 41 extracts n pieces of train data to be displayed on the train guide screen 100 from the train arrival / departure time table 60 and arranges them at equal intervals from above to below the vertical axis. . And the arrival / departure order changing axis 155 is set between the train data. In this embodiment, as shown in (a), four pieces of train data that depart from station A are extracted and assigned from Line 3 to Line 6 set at equal intervals. In addition, an equidistant departure / arrival order changing shaft 155 is set between each line.

  Usually, the conventional train operation table expresses the operation state of each train by a matrix table formed by routes and a time axis. In this embodiment, instead of the conventional time axis, an order axis that defines the order of which trains arrive and depart or pass early is adopted for each route station. Therefore, if it is the order axis which this embodiment employ | adopts, since it is not necessary to express the length of time, a vertical axis | shaft can be expressed at equal intervals and visibility can be improved.

On the other hand, a line station array axis 152 in which the line stations are arranged in order is set on the horizontal axis. For each route station, the arrival time of “arrival” and the departure time of “departure” are set as a pair, and these are set at equal intervals. Then, the arrival time and departure time of each line station on each line are extracted from the train arrival / departure time table 60 and assigned. Here, in this embodiment, the passing time of the station is assigned to both the arrival and departure times of the passing train .

  In this way, the train guidance screen 100 has the departure order axis 150 and the arrival order axis 151 set with the same order axis as the vertical axes of both counter electrodes, and the horizontal axis as the array axis 152 of the route station. Thus, the operation management table mainly for the time accuracy for the operation manager is largely different from the operation management table, and the display form for the user in which the arrival or departure order is markedly emphasized can be obtained.

  Here, Line2 is train data that has already departed from the A station, and Line7 and Line8 are train data that will depart from the A station. In this embodiment, the information to be guided and displayed on the train guidance screen 100 mainly displays n train data to be departed from now on, that is, the status of n trains to be displayed on the departure turn axis 150. As a matter of course, it is assumed that these n trains will be pulled out of the starting trains other than the n trains or will be pulled out to the succeeding trains before reaching the destination. However, if all the trains related to n trains are displayed, there is a problem that information becomes complicated and causes unnecessary confusion for the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, n trains are clearly displayed as thick route lines 153, and other trains are displayed as reference routes as thin route lines 159.

  According to FIG. 3A, if there is no relationship overtaking or overtaking between the trains assigned to each Line, the route line 153 generated in each Line is the side of each Line. Generated linearly along the axis. However, when a relationship of overtaking or overtaking occurs, the route lines 153 intersect.

  In order to generate the train route line 153 assigned to each line, the control device 41 sets the arrival time and departure time of each route station set from the left to the right of the array axis 152 of the route station. They are sorted in order of early time, and are arranged from top to bottom in order from the earliest.

  That is, for trains from Line 3 to Line 6, the “departure” (departure time) at station A is sorted, then the “arrival” (arrival time) at station B is sorted, and then the “departure” (departure time) at station B ) Sort processing from left to right. Here, if the order is not changed between the Lines by performing the sorting process, a route line 153 along the Line is generated for each Line.

  On the other hand, when a change in order occurs, such as “departure” (departure time) at station B, the train data after “departure” at station B assigned to Line3 and Line4 is replaced, and the route line 153A of Line3 and Line4, Cross 153B between “arrival” and “departure” at station B where the replacement occurred.

  In this embodiment, the sort processing is sequentially performed to exchange train data between the lines, and the route line 153 is generated based on the sort processing.

The sorting process is first executed for train data from Line3 to Line6 , and after the shapes of Line3 to Line6 are determined, the sort processing is executed for train data other than Line3 to Line6. Thereby, the thin route line 159 can be displayed.

  After Line 3 departs, the n trains displayed on the departure order axis 150 are changed from Line 4 to Line 7, and the route line of Line 7 is changed from the thin route line 159 to the thick route line 153.

  Now, the route line 153 corresponding to each train generated in FIG. 3A may be reflected on the train guide screen 100 as it is. However, if expressed as it is, the array axis 152 of the route station which is the horizontal axis will be displayed. It becomes long and a lot of information cannot be displayed on the train guide screen 100 of a limited size. Therefore, in this embodiment, the space 160 between “departure” and “arrival” of adjacent route stations is omitted, and the central axis 161 of each route station is set between “departure” and “arrival” of each route station. Set to.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the length of the arrangement axis 152 of the route station can be shortened, and if there is no change in order, the route line 153 is displayed on each Line, If the order is changed, the intersection 156 can be displayed on the central axis 161 of the route station.

  Here, the vertical axis is the arrival / departure order axis, and the horizontal axis is the arrangement axis of the route station, but the vertical axis and the horizontal axis may be reversed. Depending on the dimensions of the information display board and the environment of the installation location, the axis can be set in a direction that allows easy display or easy viewing. The same applies to the embodiments described below.

  Next, the train guidance screen 100 generated in the description of FIG. 3 will be further described with reference to FIG. Here, in this embodiment, the train guidance screen 101 for displaying the train guidance information 130 necessary for the departure from the train guidance screen 100, which has been familiar from the past, and the train guidance information 130 of the departure guidance screen 101 are partially inherited. The destination train guidance screen 102, which mainly displays the order of arrival at the destination early, is periodically switched. 4A shows a departure guidance screen 101, and FIG. 4B shows a destination train guidance screen 102. FIG.

  In FIG. 4A, the departure guidance screen 101 displays n pieces of train information in order of the earliest departure time from the station. Each train guide information 130 is displayed in a horizontally long strip shape. In this embodiment, four pieces of train guide information 130 are arranged vertically, and a horizontally long strip-shaped guidance area 136 is provided at the bottom. Yes.

  From the left to the right, the train guidance information 130 indicates departure time information 131 indicating the departure time of the station, type information 132 indicating the type of train such as each station or limited express, and the destination of the train and the name of the train. Train name information 133 and departure platform information 135 indicating the departure platform of the train are provided. The train name information 133 also displays train organization.

  Furthermore, in the guidance area 136, user guidance input from an input device (not shown) connected to the control device 41 is scroll-displayed from right to left, for example. When the guidance is short, normal display may be used instead of scroll display.

  According to the train guidance information 130, information and guidance for specifying the train to depart from are displayed large, so that it is easy to confirm the contents for a user who has specified (knows) the train in advance and is convenient. It is. However, in this train guidance information 130, there is a problem that it is not known which of the currently displayed trains will reach the user's destination earliest.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the departure time information 131 and the type information 132 that can specify the train that departs from this station are left as fixed displays, and the departure home information 135 at the right end and the hidden matrix area 158 that follows this are displayed on the train. It slides so as to invade the name information 133 (see the arrow) and is switched to the destination train guide screen 102 in FIG.

  (B) In the figure, in the destination train guidance screen 102, the departure time information 131 and the type information 132 fixedly displayed on the left side are originally arranged vertically in the departure order. use. Further, the dividing lines of the train guide information 130 arranged above and below are extended to the matrix area 158 as the arrival / departure order changing axis 155 and utilized. Furthermore, the guidance area 136 is utilized for the station name display area 162 of the array axis 152 of the route station.

  In this way, the destination train guidance screen 102 has a matrix area 158 for displaying the route line 153 in succession to the train guidance information 130 and the guidance area 136 inherited from the departure guidance screen 101, and a station name for displaying the horizontal axis. The display area 162 and the arrival order axis 151 on the vertical axis can be displayed by switching the screen without a sense of incongruity.

  In particular, according to the destination train guide screen 102, the arrival / departure order changing axis 155 can be set continuously with the dividing line of the train guide information 130, so that the visibility can be improved. In addition, since each line described in FIG. 3 is set in succession of the characters of the departure time information 131 and the type information 132, the route line 153 and the character string displayed along each line are arranged and displayed in a straight line. Therefore, visibility can be improved. Furthermore, since the line where the central axis 161 of each route station of the array axis 152 of the route station intersects with the arrival / departure order changing axis 155 can be set as the intersection point 156, visibility can be improved.

  In addition, when the intersection 156 is set, the control device 41 of this embodiment determines whether the transfer at the station is possible, and indicates that the transfer is possible if the transfer is possible. A mark (white circle display) 164 is added. Similarly, the control device 41 may determine whether the station is a stop station and attach a mark (white circle display) 164 to the intersection 163 between the central axis 161 of the route station and the route line 153.

  Next, another application example will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same site | part, an arrow, etc. are shown with the same code | symbol, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. The contents described below can also be applied to the first embodiment, and these can be combined.

  FIG. 5 shows a screen example showing another application display of the railway system according to this embodiment.

It is. The train guidance screen 110 according to this embodiment shows the display contents of the departure guidance screen 101 and the destination train guidance screen 102 described in the first embodiment in one screen display. . The description of each part is shown with the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted, but the space of the train name information 133 is simply displayed to make it smaller.

  In addition, although it is applicable to the first embodiment, instead of displaying all the stations related to the array axis 152 of the route station, only the stations where transfer and overtaking occur are displayed, so that the array axis 152 of the route station is displayed. Can be shortened. Moreover, the display which shortens (simplifies) the arrangement axis | shaft 152 of this route station can also be preset, and when replacement | exchange does not occur when the control apparatus 41 performs the said sort process, the arrangement | sequence of a route station will be carried out. The station on the axis 152 may be omitted. This can also be applied to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen showing another application display of the railway system according to this embodiment. Train guide screens 111 and 112 according to this embodiment show an embodiment in which information to be displayed is simplified. 6A shows a train guide screen on a double track, and FIG. 6B shows a train guide screen on a double track.

  (A) In this figure, in this embodiment, it is sufficient to display information indicating the type of train on the departure order axis 150. Therefore, the departure time information 131 that departs from the station may be displayed at a minimum. Moreover, it is sufficient to display the arrival time information 134 and the destination station 137 on the arrival order axis 151. Here, if the destination station 137 is fixed, this part can be omitted.

  (B) In the figure, in the above-described embodiment, the case of double lines has been described. However, this display system can be applied to single lines as well as double lines. This (b) figure shows the display form of a double track.

  In the case of a double track, one of the tracks can be operated mainly at each station stop, and the other track can be operated mainly by an express train or a rapid train. There is also a route in which a part of the route is a double track. This system can be applied to all-line double-track and partial multi-track. In such a multiple line, there are cases where overtaking or overtaking may not occur at the line station because the line station is different or the platform is different. A typical phenomenon is that the train is overtaken by a later train before the first train arrives at the next station.

  In this case, for example, the space 160 between “departure” and “arrival” of adjacent route stations described in FIG. 3A is not omitted. Thereby, as shown between “H station” and “K station” in FIG. 6B, the intersection 156 of the route line 153A of the first train and the route line 153C of the next train is displayed between the stations. can do.

  On the other hand, the route line 153A of the starting train is overtaken by the route line 153B of the subsequent train before that, but the overtaking position is on the central axis 161 of the route station where the intersection 163 is “D station”, and the mark (White circle display) 164 is also attached, so that it can be understood that the transfer is possible. As described above, the user who sees this display can obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment even in double lines. Further, if the information displayed as shown in FIG. 6 is simplified, it is not necessary to switch between the departure guidance screen 101 and the destination train guidance screen 102 in FIG. Can be displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen showing another application display of the railway system according to this embodiment. The train guidance screens 113 and 114 according to this embodiment improve the identification of the passing train, transfer station, and boarding station of this station by devising the display of route lines.

  (A) In the figure, in the description of the above embodiment, the description has been made mainly on the trains that depart from the station. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Information on transfers to trains can be provided to users.

  (A) The example of a figure has shown the route lines 153B and C of the train which passes this station by a broken line, and shows the route lines 153A and D of the train which stops at this station by a solid line. According to this train guide screen 113, the starting train (route A) is overtaken by the subsequent train (route 153B, C) at “D station”, but at the next “H station”, a mark (white circle display) ) 164 is attached, so it can be seen that the train can be transferred to the later train (route C).

  On the other hand, the train guide screen 114 shown in FIG. 5B shows an example in which all the stop stations of the train are displayed with a mark (white circle display) 164 on the route line 153. In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, “departure” and “arrival” are set for each route station indicated by the array axis 152 of the route stations, and sort processing is executed for all of them. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  That is, you may perform the said sort process only with respect to the preset route station. For example, on a route, there may be a station that can be overtaken and a station that cannot be overtaken. In such a route, there is no change in the order of trains between stations that cannot be overtaken. Since the main feature of this system is to prescribe the order of trains, route stations that do not change the order can be excluded from the sorting process. The route stations excluded from the sorting process can be set in advance, or the sorting process can be executed for all the route stations to exclude the route stations that do not change the order each time. In this case, when the route stations are continuous, the route line 153 can be simply displayed by omitting the route range itself as in the space 160 shown in FIG.

  (B) The train guide screen 114 in the figure shows a display form in which the above processing is performed. According to the train guidance screen 114, when all the stop stations are displayed on the route line 153, the mark (white circle display) 164 can be attached even if the route line 153 is an oblique line.

  In this embodiment, the center axis 161 of the route station is displayed only for the route stations whose order can be changed, the name of the array axis 152 of the route station is displayed in large letters, and there is no change in the other order. Line stations are shown in small letters.

  FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show display forms when a train is pulled out by a plurality of trains at one station. FIG. 8 is a train guidance screen 115 when a train is pulled out by a plurality of trains displayed on the departure order axis 150. FIG. 9 is a screen diagram when a train other than that displayed on the departure order axis 150 is pulled out. (A) A screen diagram when the train is displayed on the departure order axis 150 and another train. (B) is a screen figure in the case of being pulled out by other plural trains.

  In FIG. 8, when a plurality of trains displayed on the departure order axis 150 are pulled out, the first train (route line 153A) is pulled out by two subsequent trains (153B, 153C), so that the route line 153 is represented. As a method, the route line 153 is displayed so as to straddle the first subsequent train (route line 153B) along the central axis 161 of the route station. When connecting to two subsequent trains (153B, 153C), the mark (white circle display) 164 is connected by a straight line. Thereby, it can inform a user that it can transfer to either train.

  On the other hand, when a train other than that displayed on the departure order axis 150 shown in FIG. 9 is pulled out, basically, the display content of the route line 153 of the train displayed on the departure order axis 150 is not changed, and this route The display expression is within a range that does not interfere with the display content of the line 153.

  For example, in the train guide screen 116 in FIG. (A), the starting train (route line 153A) is overtaken by the subsequent train (route line 153C) and another succeeding train (thin route line 159) at “H station”. The same expression method is used for the first train (route line 153A) and the second train (route line 153C). However, when a connection can be made with another subsequent train (thin route 159), the expression method of the mark (white circle display) 164 is changed.

  Further, for example, as shown in the train guide screen 117 shown in FIG. 5B, in the case of “N station”, when the other two subsequent trains (thin route 159) are pulled out, the first train (route 153D) Without changing the expression, the two narrow route lines 159 intersect with the route line 153D. In this case as well, a mark (white circle display) 164 indicating whether or not transfer is possible is added.

  These thin route lines 159 are sequentially displayed on the departure order axis 150 when the time advances and the starting train departs. When displayed on the departure order axis 150, the route line is a narrow route line. The display is changed from 159 to a thick route line 153.

  Next, FIG. 10 shows a display form of the train guidance screen 180 when an operation abnormality occurs. 10 (a) and 10 (b) are diagrams in which a part of the train guide screen 180 is omitted to secure the guidance area 136, and FIG. 10 (c) shows the entire area of the train guide screen 180 as the guidance area 136. To do.

  In this embodiment, similarly to the guidance area 136 in FIG. 4A, guidance input from an input device (not shown) connected to the control device 41 can be displayed. In this embodiment, the three screens in FIG. 10 can be selected and displayed in accordance with an instruction from the input device.

  (a) The train guide screen 181 in the figure is an example of a screen for notifying operation abnormality on a route other than the route, and the train guide screen 182 in the (b) diagram is an example of a screen for notifying operation abnormality such as a delay on the route. (C) The train guidance screen 183 in FIG. 5C shows an example of a screen where the relevant line is set off for operation.

  (A) In the train guidance screen 181 in the figure, since there is no hindrance to the train operation on the route, one of the n trains displayed on the departure order axis 150 is reduced to provide guidance on the reduced area. Let it be area 136A. Then, guidance information is displayed in the guidance area 136A.

  On the other hand, in the train guide screen 182 in FIG. 5B, since there is a delay in operation on the route, in this train guide screen 182, n trains displayed on the departure order axis 150 are the same as in the above (a). 1 is reduced, and the reduced area is set as a guidance area 136A. In addition, since the display of the route line 153 in the matrix area 158 cannot be deterministic, each route line 153 is generated, but a hatched display or the like is shown to indicate that the route line 153 is planned. Display.

  Furthermore, since the train arrival / departure time table 60 itself cannot be generated on the train guidance screen 183 in FIG. 8C, the entire screen is set as a guidance display input by an input device.

  FIG. 11 shows a display form when the information display board 50 includes a horizontally long display unit. The departure guidance screen 101 and the destination train guidance screen 102 can be displayed side by side, and the displayed contents are the same as in the example of FIG. 4, but as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). It is possible to list the departure guidance screen 101 and the destination train guidance screen 102 without switching the screen. Further, it is not necessary to simplify the train name information as shown in the display form of FIG. 5, and all train name and vehicle information can be seen. As described above, when the information display board 50 has a sufficient width, it is possible to display the departure guidance screen 101 and the destination train guidance screen 102 in a list that is easy to see.
