Abstract

When a train arrives at or passes through a station, passengers can easily and immediately identify which station is on the route from within the vehicle. As a station display object indicating which station on the route is visible in the vehicle of each station on the route, red, orange, yellow, green, which are rainbow colors arranged according to the station arrangement order of the route Station displays that are colored in the order of blue, blue, indigo, and purple. There are many cases where the station name display of characters cannot be read, but coloring can be identified from a distance even if only a part can be seen or seen for a moment, so even if the passenger is on a crowded train, the station is extremely Can be easily and immediately identified. Since everyone knows the order of the rainbow colors, it is easy to identify which station is on the route. When arriving at the destination station, the station can be easily and immediately identified, and since the position of the train on the route is generally known before arriving at the destination station, it is less likely to miss or get off immediately before departure.

Description

In the present invention, for example, on a railway line, when a train arrives at a platform of a station or passes through a station, the passenger can easily and immediately identify which station the station is from within the vehicle. The present invention relates to a railway line station display method that enables the same, and a bus route stop display method that can achieve the same effect even on a bus route.

For example, on railway lines, the display indicating the name of each station is generally an elongated station name display panel attached to the pillar of the platform, a station name display panel suspended from the ceiling of the platform, or a station name display panel attached to the wall of the platform, etc. It is done with letters indicating the station name.

For example, if you are on a crowded train with passengers, for example during rush hours for commuting, when you arrive at the platform, you will not be able to see the outside of the window and display the name of the platform. Often I can't see it. In addition, even if it is visible, it is often impossible to read the characters of the station name.
For this reason, there are cases where the destination station is overtaken, or just before departure, the name of the station is known and the people are scraped off. The way to get off by scraping people immediately before departure will disturb the flow of passengers getting on and off, leading to the need to place station staff to organize passengers at the platform, or disturbing train operation by extending the stop time It can also be a thing.

Even if it is not crowded, you may not be able to hear the announcement in the car that tells you the name of the next station, often you will miss it, and you may not know how many more stations you will get off. In order to prevent passengers from passing over, there are cases where passengers cannot get on with a relaxed feeling, such as searching for and checking the station name display every time the train enters the platform before approaching the destination station.
The above-described problem can occur in the same way in the case of a route bus that operates on a road.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems. For example, in the case of a railway line, even when a train arrives at the platform or starts entering the platform, the passenger can move from the vehicle to the station. It was possible to easily and immediately identify which station, and it was possible to easily know how many destination stations would be before the destination station was approached, so that passengers could relax to the destination station. The purpose is to make it possible to get on with a feeling and to reduce the factors that disturb the train operation as much as possible.

The railway line station display method of the invention of claim 1 that solves the above-mentioned problem is a station display object that indicates which station of the route is in a place that can be seen from within the vehicle of the station building of each station on one railway line. In the order of rainbow colors according to the station arrangement order of the route, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, or red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, or red, yellow , Green, blue, and purple in order and the color arrangement order is repeated, and the colored station display objects are provided.

  Claim 2 is the railway line station display method according to claim 1, wherein the colored station display object is an elongated station name display panel attached to a pillar of the platform of the station, or a station name display panel suspended from the ceiling of the platform, Or it is the station name display panel attached to the wall of a platform, or the station name display panel attached to the wall or installation installed on the opposite side to the platform, respectively.

  Claim 3 is the railway line station display method according to claim 1, wherein the colored station display object is on the pillar of the station platform itself, the wall itself, or the wall or the installation object itself installed on the opposite side of the platform. Each station display item is colored.

According to the bus route stop display method of the invention of claim 4, the stop stop array of the route as a stop display object indicating which stop of the route is located at a place visible from inside the vehicle of the installation of each stop on one bus route According to the order, the colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, or red, yellow, green, blue, purple. In this embodiment, each colored stop display object is provided in a manner of repeating the color arrangement order in the order of purple.

In the case of railway lines, each station on the route has seven colors of rainbow “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple” that are well known to everyone, both young and old. ), Passengers can easily memorize the color of the station they get off and can easily identify or recognize.
The display of the station name by letters can be identified only by reading it from the vicinity, generally from the direction close to the front, and by looking at all the letters for a while and not for a moment. It can be identified from a distance, from any direction, and only a part of it can be seen, or it can be seen for a moment.
Therefore, the passenger can very easily and immediately identify from the vehicle which station is the station by the color of the station display object of the station platform.

Therefore, if you are on a crowded train, for example during rush hours for commuting, even if you try to know which station is when the train arrives at the platform, it will be blocked by people and you will see the station name display on the platform In many cases, it is impossible to read the characters of the station name even if it can be seen. Because there is no risk of overtaking the destination station.
In addition, it is less likely to disturb the flow of passengers getting on and off by getting rid of people by getting to know the station name just before departure, and reducing the need for station staff to arrange passengers on the platform. In addition, the operation time is less likely to be disturbed due to longer stop times.

  In addition, when vehicles are congested, they often stay near the door so that they can get off at the destination station immediately, and many people get stuck near the door and disturb the flow of getting on and off. If it becomes easier to see how many more stations to get off, it may be less likely to stay near the door, so it is less likely that a large number of people will solidify near the door. It can be said that the factors that disturb the flow are reduced.

  In addition, if you are on a rapid, express, or express train that is not stopped at each station, the characters on the station name display panel cannot be easily read from the vehicle you are traveling through, even if you try to know which station is the transit station. If so, it can be easily identified, so it is easy to know which station it is and which area it is running.

The order of the seven colors of the rainbow is well-known to all men and women of all ages, so if they are color-coded in that order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple), the purpose of getting down In addition to knowing the station, it is possible to easily identify the number of destination stations when there are still several stations before the destination station.
And while the train gradually approaches the destination station, it can be said that the situation of approaching the destination station can be grasped sensuously without the need to use the head.
Therefore, passengers do not have to use nerves such as searching for and checking the station name display every time a train enters the platform, so that they can spend a relaxed feeling to the destination station so that they do not go over. it can.
In general, the name of the next station or the arrival time of each station ahead is announced by in-car announcements, but such in-car announcements may be inaudible and often missed, Since it is not easy to know the number of stations and the time required to reach the destination station, there are many times when you spend a restless time, but as mentioned above, the number of stations or the required time to the destination station is determined by the order of the seven colors of the rainbow. Because it can be grasped sensuously, you can spend a relaxed feeling to the destination station.
In addition, the announcement of the transfer station to other routes is also made by announcement in the car, but if you tell the color of the transfer station along with the name of the transfer station, you can make the passengers understand clearly.

  After passing through the seven stations on the route, the first colored station will come again, but the seven distant stations are rarely confused, so it can be said that there is little misunderstanding by passengers.

In the above description, the seven rainbow colors “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple” have been described. However, blue and indigo are close to each other in terms of hue and are difficult to distinguish. The indigo can be omitted, and it can be classified into six colors, “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple”. Furthermore, it is possible to omit the orange and make it five colors of “red, yellow, green, blue, purple”.
In addition, it can be said that the seven colors of the rainbow generally symbolize hope and a bright mind, and since it is a component of light, it is possible to recall “light” directly and recall the seven colors or light of the rainbow every time you get on the train. This is preferable.

It can be said that it is preferable for train operators that the colors of the stations on the route are in the order of the rainbow colors. For example, the station to be stopped can be identified not only with the station name of characters but also with the color, so that the station can be identified more easily and reliably.
In addition, if a station indicator is installed at the end of the train approaching side of the platform or in front of it, the station can be easily identified slightly before entering the station, and the driver is less tired. I think that the.
In addition, it is easy to grasp the current position in the entire driving section sensuously every time the train arrives at the station. In particular, in the case of non-station stop trains such as rapid, express, and express trains, it is easy for the driver to grasp the next station to stop when passing through the passing station, and this also seems to reduce fatigue. .
In addition, not only the current position while driving, but also the entire driving section (the number of stations in the driving section and what kind of stations are present) is also sensed, and the driver It can be said that it is easy to grasp.

  In the case of a railway line, as in claim 2, for example, by coloring the peripheral edge of a general station name display panel itself attached to a pillar, wall surface, ceiling suspended object or floor standing object of a station building, Since the character display and the identification color are integrated, it is easy to store the relationship between the station name and the color, and it is easy to identify the station when actually boarding.

  As shown in claim 3, when a colored station display is provided on the pillar of the platform of the station itself, the wall itself, or the wall or installation installed on the opposite side of the platform, it is easier to identify the station. become.

In the case of the bus route of claim 4, the above-described effects can be obtained in substantially the same manner except for matters specific to the railway line.
In the case of bus routes, the bus stop name panel describing the bus stop name (stop name) is generally small, so it is difficult for the driver to identify the bus stop name by looking at the characters on the bus stop name panel. It can be easily identified if present.

1 is a diagram for explaining an example of color coding (color arrangement order) of each station on a railway line. FIG. (A) is a perspective view of the platform of one station (station building) as one embodiment of the invention of claim 1, and as a station display object indicating which station of the line the station is on the pillar of the platform of the station Colored station indications on the attached elongated station name display panel, station indications colored on the station name display panel suspended from the ceiling, and station indications colored on the station name display panel attached to the wall of the platform are shown. Has been. FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of the station display object colored on the elongated station name display panel in FIG. (A) is a perspective view of a platform of one station (station building) as another embodiment, and a station display colored on the pillar of the station platform itself as a station display indicating which station is the station. The station display object colored on the wall surface of the platform and the platform itself, and the station display object colored on the guide panel standing on the floor of the platform are shown. FIG. 7B shows the station display object of the embodiment in which the pillar 2 is colored in a manner surrounding the elongated station name display panel 3 attached to the pillar 2 instead of simply coloring the pillar. This shows an example of a case where a new station is opened between two adjacent stations. The case where the station name display panel of the new station (the name of the new station shown in the figure is “Irohaniho Station”) is colored. FIG.

  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the form for implementing the railway line station display method and bus route stop display method of this invention is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

For example, in the case of a railway line, the present invention makes it possible to easily identify which station is a station on a railway line where the station is visible from inside the station building of each station. Station display objects are provided, and the rainbow colors are arranged in the order of station arrangement on the route (in the order of colors arranged with the starting station as red) in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, or red , Orange, yellow, green, blue, purple (when indigo is omitted) or red, yellow, green, blue, purple (when orange and indigo are omitted), and the order of colors Is a railway line station display method in which colored station display objects are provided.
Figure 1 is of the case of employing the color arrangement of the rainbow of seven colors (color sorted), for example, those described as the starting point A ₁ station in some railway lines.
The _{A 1} station origin red, _{B 1} station to orange, the _{C 1} station Yellow, _{D 1} station green, _{E 1} station blue, indigo and _{F 1} station, the _{G 1} station and purple, or seven The station is the first cycle of color coding.
Then, for the previous stations than the G ₁ Station of the line, and color order of aspects to repeat the first color order of the cycle. Therefore, the next _{A 2} station again red the _{G 1} Station, _{B 2} the station orange, yellow _{C 2} stations, green and _{D 2} stations, _{E 2} station blue, indigo and _{F 2} stations, _{G 2} Station Is purple, and the above seven stations are the second cycle of color coding.
Red and _{A 3} station again, the _{B 3} stations to orange, _{yellow, C 3} station, _{D 3} the station green, _{E 3} the station blue, indigo and _{F 3} station, the _{G 3} stations and purple, or seven stations Is the third cycle of color coding.
In FIG. 1, each station between Tokyo and Omiya when taking the Keihin Tohoku Line as an example of a specific route, that is, Tokyo, Kanda, Akihabara, Okachimachi, Ueno, Nakaya, Nippori, Nishi Nippori, Tabata, Kaminakazato, Oji , Higashi-Jujo, Akabane, Kawaguchi, Nishikawaguchi, Sakai, Minamiurawa, Urawa, Kitaurawa, Yono, Saitama Shintoshin, and Omiya station names.

FIG. 2 (a) is a perspective view schematically showing the platform 1 of one station (station building) as an embodiment of the invention of the railway line station display method. In this embodiment, the station display object 4 indicating which station of the route is the station display object 4 colored on the elongated station name display panel 3 itself attached to the pillar 2 of the station platform 1 and the ceiling 5 is suspended. A station display object 7 colored on the lowered station name display panel 6 itself and a station display object 10 colored on the station name display panel 9 itself attached to the wall 8 of the platform are shown. In addition, the colored part is shown by sandy hatching.
As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2 (B), the pillar station display object 4 is colored in such a manner as to crawl around the station name display panel 3 attached to the pillar 2. The station display object 7 on the ceiling is colored in such a manner that it crawls around the station name display panel 6 suspended from the ceiling 5. The station display object 10 on the wall is colored in such a manner as to crawl around the station name display panel 9 attached to the wall 8.
The color of these station indications 4, 7, and 10 is only a part even if the inside of the train is crowded and the outside of the window cannot be seen well, or even from inside the train that is still moving after entering the platform. Even if it does not enter the field of view, it can be easily identified even if it is visible for a moment.
In this embodiment, the station name display panels 3, 6 and 9 themselves are colored, and the character display and the identification color are integrated. Therefore, it is easy to memorize the relationship between the station name and the color, and the actual boarding is performed. It is easy to identify the station.

FIG. 3 (a) is a perspective view schematically showing the platform 1 of one station (station building) as another embodiment of the invention of the railway line station display method. In this embodiment, the station display objects 11 and 11 'colored on the pillar 2 of the platform of the station and the station display objects 12 colored on the wall 8 itself as station display objects indicating which station of the route is the station. In addition, a station display object 16 colored on a guide plate 15 such as a timetable standing on the floor 14 of the platform 1 is shown.
When the pillar 2 itself is colored, it may be colored to a part of the appropriate height of the pillar 2 as in the station display object 11 or over the entire height of the pillar 2 as in the station display object 11 ′. It may be colored. Moreover, you may color on the four surfaces of a pillar, and may color on one part surface.
Further, as shown in the station display object 11 ″ in FIG. 3B, the pillar 2 may be colored in a manner surrounding the elongated station name display panel 3 attached to the pillar 2.
Instead of coloring the pillars directly, a colored panel may be attached to the pillars.
When coloring the wall 8 itself, it may be colored in the shape of a horizontally long strip like the station display object 12 shown in the figure, may be colored in an appropriate shape (pattern), or may be colored on the entire surface.
Although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, as a station display thing, when there exists a wall on the opposite side to the platform of a station building, you may color the wall. Moreover, you may color not only a wall but an advertising signboard and other installation objects themselves.

When a new station is created between existing stations, two colors of the stations adjacent to the newly established station may be displayed side by side, for example, as a station display 24 shown in FIG. The station display 24 shown in the figure is colored in the column 2 in a manner surrounding the elongated station name display panel 23 attached to the column 2, but the color 24 a of the station on the left on the left side and the color 24 b of the station on the right on the right side. Coloring. In this way, it is possible to deal with a new station without changing the color arrangement order of existing stations.

Although the embodiment in the case of the railway line has been described above, the present invention can be similarly applied to a subway, a monorail line, and the like.

In the case of the bus route stop display method, the indications of A ₁ station, B ₁ station, C ₁ station, etc. in FIG. 1 shown as the case of the railway line are A ₁ stop, B ₁ stop, C ₁ stop,. Etc. are displayed.
For example, as a stop display to make it easy to identify which stop is on the route, for example, it is generally colored on a bus stop pole installed at a bus stop (bus stop), on the upper end of the bus stop pole, etc. A colored bus stop name panel may be considered.
Further, in a bus stop having a waiting room or the like, an appropriate portion of a wall surface of the waiting room or the like may be colored, for example, or a bus stop name panel attached to the wall surface.
In the case of a bus route, the bus stop name panel describing the bus stop name is generally small, so it is difficult for the driver to identify the bus stop name by looking at the characters on the bus stop name panel, but it is easy to identify if it is a color. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the colors of the rainbow are classified into the seven colors “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple” has been described. However, there are some aspects that are difficult to distinguish between blue and indigo. It is also possible to omit six colors to be classified into six colors of “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple”. Furthermore, the color can be classified into five colors such as “red, yellow, green, blue, purple” by omitting orange.
Each color such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple may be in a range that is normally regarded as those colors, and the relationship between adjacent colors is relatively rainbow-like. Anything that can be recognized as representing the color arrangement order may be used.
For example, when the route is indicated by a color such as the Keihin Tohoku line is blue and the center line is orange, the station display object is provided in such a manner that the color is not confused with the route color.
When another route is connected to a specific station on one route, the color arrangement order of the stations on the other route is a method that adopts a mode starting from the color of the specific station (for example, the color of the specific station If yellow is yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, red, orange, yellow,. Alternatively, a starting station may be defined for each route, and red, orange, yellow, and so on from the starting station. In addition, the color arrangement order may be determined according to the specific situation of the route.
Incidentally, the railway line station display method of the present invention is to provide a station display object of any color of the rainbow at a location visible from inside the vehicle, but apply the color to the front or other locations of the station building, By combining itself with the color, the effect of the railway line station display method of the present invention can be made more effective.
