Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a train operation management system 5 including a simulation control device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The train operation management system 5 includes a simulation control device 1, an operation management central device 3, and a command terminal 4, and each device is connected by a LAN (Local Area Network) 2.

The simulation control device 1 is a device that manages a simulation scenario used when the trainee 7 trains train operation management in the train operation management system 5. The simulation control device 1 transmits the information signal of the site information simulated by the simulation scenario selected by the trainee 7.

The operation management central apparatus 3 includes diagram data 31, which is data of train operation schedules in an area controlled by the train operation management system 5, and facility data 32, which is data of facilities such as signals in the controlled area.

The command terminal 4 is a terminal that includes the interface unit 41 and that the trainee 7 gives an instruction, that is, a command for an abnormal state that occurs during normal work or simulation. The interface unit 41 reproduces the simulation scenario selected by the simulation control device 1 based on the information signal received from the simulation control device 1. The simulation method reproduced by the interface unit 41 is not limited, and an existing method may be used.

The configuration of the simulation control device 1 will be described. The simulation control device 1 includes an operation reception unit 11, a data creation unit 12, a storage unit 13, a scenario selection unit 14, a display unit 15, and an interface unit 16.

The operation accepting unit 11 allows the instructor 6 who is the first operator to create a simulation scenario and when the trainee 7 who is the second operator selects a simulation scenario to be used for training. And the operation such as setting or selection from the trainee 7 is accepted.

The data creation unit 12 receives the operation of the instructor 6 via the operation reception unit 11, sets each parameter of the simulation scenario to create a simulation scenario, and stores the created simulation scenario as training data 131 in the storage unit. 13 to memorize.

The storage unit 13 stores the simulation scenario created by the data creation unit 12 as training data 131. The training data 131 includes a plurality of simulation scenarios created by the data creating unit 12.

The scenario selection unit 14 receives the operation of the trainee 7 via the operation reception unit 11, and uses the training data 131 stored in the storage unit 13 to perform a simulation scenario used by the trainee 7 for training train operation management. Select.

When the instructor 6 is creating a simulation scenario, the display unit 15 displays a working state under the control of the data creating unit 12. Further, when the trainee 7 selects a simulation scenario, the display unit 15 displays a working state under the control of the scenario selection unit 14. The simulation control device 1 may not include the display unit 15 and may use an external display device to display the working states of the data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14.

The interface unit 16 performs LAN communication with the operation management central unit 3 and the command terminal 4 via the LAN 2 to send and receive data. The interface unit 16 transmits/receives data to/from the operation management central apparatus 3 while the instructor 6 is creating a simulation scenario. When the trainee 7 selects a simulation scenario, the interface unit 16 generates an information signal of the site information of the train operation management system 5 simulated by the simulation scenario based on the content of the selected simulation scenario. , And transmits the generated information signal to the command terminal 4. That is, the interface unit 16 transmits an information signal based on the content of the simulation scenario to the command terminal 4. The interface unit 16 is preset with respect to the information signal of the site information corresponding to the simulation scenario that can be generated by the simulation control device 1. The function of generating an information signal from the simulation scenario in the interface unit 16 is similar to the function of the existing simulation device.

Next, the operation of the simulation control device 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a process in which the data creation unit 12 of the simulation control device 1 according to the first embodiment creates a simulation scenario. In the simulation control device 1, the data creation unit 12 accepts parameter settings for each item of the simulation scenario from the instructor 6 via the operation acceptance unit 11 (step S1).

The parameter items that can be set in the simulation scenario include, for example, (1) a disturbance factor indicating an abnormal cause such as a personal injury or vehicle failure, (2) a time indicating the occurrence time of the disturbance factor, and (3) a disturbance factor. The line, (4) station name of the station where the disturbance factor occurs, (5) complexity of the simulation scenario, (6) information indicating whether the simulation scenario is an essential item for training, and the like. The instructor 6 sets the items (1) to (6) for one simulation scenario. The items (1) to (6) are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, information about home numbers such as platform No. 1 and platform No. 2 of a station, stop at each station, express, etc. Information such as the type of train may be used as a parameter item.

When a parameter is set in one item from the instructor 6, the data creation unit 12 refers to the information provided in the operation management central device 3, that is, the timetable data 31 and the facility data 32 via the interface unit 16 and the LAN 2 (step S2). The data creation unit 12 refers to the diagram data 31 and the facility data 32 of the operation management central apparatus 3 every time a parameter is set by the instructor 6 for one item, thereby making a simulation scenario that matches the actual train operation. Can be created. When referring to the timetable data 31 and the facility data 32 of the operation management central apparatus 3, the data creation unit 12 may display the settable parameters that are candidates for the following items. For example, when the line item is set by the instructor 6, the data creation unit 12 refers to the timetable data 31 and the facility data 32 of the operation management central apparatus 3 via the interface unit 16 and the LAN 2 to set the station name item. , Displays candidates for the station name corresponding to the selected route.

When the parameters of all items of the simulation scenario are not set (step S3: No), the data creation unit 12 returns to step S1 and repeats the processing of steps S1 and S2. When the parameters of all items of the simulation scenario are set (step S3: Yes), the data creation unit 12 stores the simulation scenario created by the instructor 6 in the storage unit 13 as the training data 131 (step S4). ).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process in which the scenario selection unit 14 of the simulation control device 1 according to the first embodiment selects a simulation scenario. In the simulation control device 1, the scenario selection unit 14 selects a simulation scenario to be used for training from the trainee 7 via the operation reception unit 11, and therefore, from the parameter candidates that can be selected for a certain item of the simulation scenario. The selection of parameters is accepted (step S11). When the trainee 7 specifies a certain item, the scenario selection unit 14 sets the training data 131 of the storage unit 13 for the specified item that is the item specified by the trainee 7 among the items whose parameters are set in the simulation scenario. That is, the parameters set in the designated items are extracted from the simulation scenario. The scenario selection unit 14 controls the trainee 7 to display the extracted parameters on the display unit 15 as selection candidates.

When the parameter is set by the trainee 7 in the designated item, the scenario selection unit 14 selects a simulation scenario including the parameter set in the designated item from the training data 131 in the storage unit 13 (step S12).

When the scenario of the simulation used for training by the trainee 7 is not fixed (step S13: No), the scenario selection unit 14 returns to step S11 and repeats the processes of steps S11 and S12. If the simulation scenario used for training by the trainee 7 is confirmed (step S13: Yes), the scenario selection unit 14 outputs the selected simulation scenario to the interface unit 16 (step S14). Then, in the simulation control device 1, the interface unit 16 transmits an information signal based on the simulation scenario selected by the scenario selection unit 14 to the interface unit 41 of the command terminal 4 via the LAN 2. As a result, the trainee 7 can perform the desired training even if the instructor 6 is absent, because the simulation scenario selected by the simulation controller 1 is reproduced by the interface unit 41 of the command terminal 4. it can.

The process of selecting a simulation scenario by the scenario selection unit 14 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9. 4 to 9 are diagrams showing a process of selecting a simulation scenario from the training data 131 of the storage unit 13 in the scenario selection unit 14 of the simulation control device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment. The scenario selection unit 14 controls the display unit 15 to display the diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 using the training data 131. It is assumed that the training data 131 of the storage unit 13 includes a plurality of simulation scenarios, and that each simulation scenario has parameters set for the items (1) to (6) described above. In FIG. 4 to FIG. 9, the mandatory item “◯” indicates that the training using the corresponding simulation scenario is essential.

For the simulation scenario, the trainee 7 first selects a desired parameter from (1) disturbance factors. The scenario selection unit 14 extracts the parameter set as (1) disturbance factor from the training data 131 of the storage unit 13 and displays it on the display unit 15 (FIG. 4). The trainee 7 selects desired information from the information displayed on the display unit 15 by an operation such as clicking the mouse of the operation receiving unit 11, for example. For example, when the trainee 7 clicks the blank portion 401 below the disturbance factor shown in FIG. 4, the scenario selecting unit 14 causes the station power failure set in the training data 131 as the disturbance factor in one of the simulation scenarios. Display parameters for personal injury, train fire, vehicle breakdown, and strong winds. When the trainee 7 clicks the parameter of the vehicle failure 402 to select it and then clicks OK 403 to confirm the selection, the scenario selection unit 14 sets (1) disturbance factor to “vehicle failure” from the training data 131. The selected simulation scenario is selected and displayed on the display unit 15 (FIG. 5). For the sake of the size of the drawing, although five simulation scenarios are displayed in FIG. 5, it is assumed that five or more simulation scenarios are actually selected.

The trainee 7 then selects a desired parameter from the time (2) from the state of FIG. The scenario selection unit 14 extracts the parameter set at (2) time in the simulation scenario shown in FIG. 5 and displays it on the display unit 15 (FIG. 6). For example, when the trainee 7 clicks the blank portion 404 below the time shown in FIG. 6, the scenario selecting unit 14 sets 7:00, 8:00, which is set as the time in any of the simulation scenarios. The parameters of 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 are displayed. When the trainee 7 clicks on the parameter at 10:00 (405) to select it and then clicks OK 403 to confirm the selection, the scenario selection unit 14 selects “10:00” at the time (2) from the state of FIG. The simulation scenario for which is set is selected and displayed on the display unit 15 (FIG. 7).

The trainee 7 then selects a desired parameter from the route (3) from the state of FIG. 7. The scenario selection unit 14 extracts the parameter set for the route (3) in the simulation scenario shown in FIG. 7 and displays it on the display unit 15 (FIG. 8). For example, when the trainee 7 clicks the blank portion 406 below the route shown in FIG. 8, the scenario selecting unit 14 sets the parameters of the Yamanote line and the Chuo line set as the route in one of the simulation scenarios. indicate. When the trainee 7 clicks on the parameter of the center line 407 to select it and then clicks OK 403 to confirm the selection, the scenario selection unit 14 sets the “center line” for the line (3) from the state of FIG. The selected simulation scenario is selected and displayed on the display unit 15 (FIG. 9).

In this way, the scenario selecting unit 14 selects the simulation scenario that the trainee 7 uses for the training by the trainee 7 selecting desired parameters for the items set in the simulation scenario. You can In addition, although the example of selecting one simulation scenario has been shown in the examples of FIGS. 4 to 9, when the trainee 7 carries out the training using a plurality of simulation scenarios, the scenario selecting unit 14 When a plurality of simulation scenarios are selected, for example, the process of selecting at the stage of FIG. 7 may be terminated. In this case, when the trainee 7 clicks OK 403 in a state where a plurality of simulation scenarios are displayed as shown in FIG. 7, the scenario selection unit 14 determines that the simulation scenario used for training has been confirmed. May be.

Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, it is assumed that each simulation scenario is given an identification number that can identify each simulation scenario. The identification number may be set by the instructor 6 together with the parameters when the simulation scenario is created, or may be set in the creation order by the simulation scenario before being stored in the storage section 13 by the data creation section 12. When outputting the selected simulation scenario to the interface unit 16, the scenario selection unit 14 outputs the simulation scenario including the identification number information.

Next, the hardware configuration of the simulation control device 1 will be described. In the simulation control device 1, the operation reception unit 11 is realized by devices such as a mouse and a keyboard. The storage unit 13 is realized by a memory. The display unit 15 is realized by a display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The interface unit 16 is realized by an interface circuit for LAN communication. The operation reception unit 11 and the display unit 15 may be collectively realized by a touch panel. The data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14 are realized by a processing circuit. That is, the simulation control device 1 includes a processing circuit for creating a simulation scenario and selecting the simulation scenario. The processing circuit may be dedicated hardware, or may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program stored in the memory and a memory.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14 according to the first embodiment are configured by dedicated hardware. When the processing circuit is dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 91 shown in FIG. 10 is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA ( Field Programmable Gate Array) or a combination of these. Each function of the data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14 may be realized by the processing circuit 91 for each function, or each function may be collectively realized by the processing circuit 91.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14 according to the first embodiment are configured by a CPU and a memory. When the processing circuit includes the CPU 92 and the memory 93, each function of the data creating unit 12 and the scenario selecting unit 14 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software or firmware is described as a program and stored in the memory 93. In the processing circuit, each function is realized by the CPU 92 reading and executing the program stored in the memory 93. That is, in the simulation control device 1, when the data creating unit 12 and the scenario selecting unit 14 are executed by the processing circuit, the step of creating a simulation scenario and the step of selecting a simulation scenario are executed as a result. A memory 93 for storing the program It can also be said that these programs cause a computer to execute the procedure and method of the simulation control device 1. Here, the CPU 92 may be a processing device, a computing device, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, a processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), or the like. The memory 93 is, for example, a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), or an EEPROM (Electrically EPROM), A magnetic disc, a flexible disc, an optical disc, a compact disc, a mini disc, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or the like is applicable. The memory that implements the storage unit 13 may be the memory 93.

The functions of the data creation unit 12 and the scenario selection unit 14 may be partially implemented by dedicated hardware and partially implemented by software or firmware. For example, the function of creating a simulation scenario is realized by the processing circuit 91 as a dedicated hardware, and the function of selecting a simulation scenario is read and executed by the CPU 92 in the memory 93. By doing so, it is possible to realize that function.

In this way, the processing circuit can realize each function described above by dedicated hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the simulation control device 1 stores the simulation scenario created by the instructor 6, receives the operation of the trainee 7, and uses it in the training desired by the trainee 7. It was decided to select the simulation scenario to be performed.

As a result, the simulation controller 1 enables the trainee 7 to carry out the training without being affected by the convenience of the trainee 6, and the trainee 7 alone can carry out the training. Can be reduced. The simulation control device 1 receives the operation of the instructor 6 who is the first operator to create a simulation scenario, and receives the operation of the trainee 7 who is the second operator to use in the simulation. However, the scenario is not limited to this. The simulation control device 1 may accept the operation of the same operator, create a simulation scenario, and select a simulation scenario used in training. That is, the first operator and the second operator may be the same.

Embodiment 2.
In the present embodiment, the simulation control device scores the training result, which is the result of the training when the trainee 7 performs the simulation by performing the simulation. The part different from the first embodiment will be described.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a train operation management system 5a including the simulation control device 1a according to the second embodiment. The train operation management system 5a is obtained by replacing the simulation control device 1 of the train operation management system 5 with a simulation control device 1a.

In addition to the function of the data creating unit 12, the data creating unit 12a receives an operation of the instructor 6 via the operation receiving unit 11, creates a model answer corresponding to the created simulation scenario, and creates the created model answer. The score data 132 is stored in the storage unit 13a. It is assumed that the model answer has the same identification number as that of the corresponding simulation scenario. The method of setting the identification number in the model answer is the same as the method of setting the identification number in the above-mentioned simulation scenario.

The storage unit 13a stores the training data 131, and further stores the model answer created by the data creation unit 12a as the scoring data 132. The scoring data 132 includes a plurality of model answers corresponding to each of the plurality of simulation scenarios created by the data creating unit 12a.

In addition to the function of the display unit 15, the display unit 15a displays a scoring result which is a result of the scoring unit 17 scoring the training result under the control of the scoring unit 17.

In addition to the function of the interface unit 16, the interface unit 16 a acquires a training result, which is a result of training by the trainee 7, from the command terminal 4, and outputs the training result to the scoring unit 17. At this time, the interface unit 16 outputs the identification number of the simulation scenario used for the training to the scoring unit 17 together with the training result.

When the scoring unit 17 acquires the training result from the command terminal 4 via the LAN 2 and the interface unit 16a, the storage unit 13a stores the model answer corresponding to the acquired training result based on the simulation scenario identification number acquired together with the training result. The training result is scored using the read model answer.

Next, the operation of the simulation control device 1a will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a process in which the data creation unit 12a of the simulation control device 1a according to the second embodiment creates a simulation scenario and a model answer. The processing of steps S1 to S4 is the same as the processing of the data creation unit 12 of the first embodiment.

After step S4, the data creation unit 12a next accepts the setting of the model answer corresponding to the simulation scenario from the instructor 6 via the operation acceptance unit 11 (step S21). The instructor 6 creates a model answer in association with one created simulation scenario. The model answer shows, for example, a procedure of treatment for eliminating an abnormal state due to the created simulation scenario. Further, a target treatment time may be set in the model answer, which indicates a period expected from the occurrence of the abnormal state to the elimination thereof. Similar to the simulation scenario, the instructor 6 or the data creation unit 12a sets the model answer to the same identification number as the corresponding simulation scenario. The data creation unit 12a stores the model answer created by the instructor 6 as the scoring data 132 in the storage unit 13a (step S22).

The data creation unit 12a may perform the process of step S21 before step S4. When the process of step S21 is performed before step S4, the data creating part 12a performs the process of step S22 together with the process of step S4. May be.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the scoring unit 17 of the simulation control device 1a according to the second embodiment to score the training result. In the simulation control device 1a, the scoring unit 17 acquires the training result by the trainee 7 from the command terminal 4 via the LAN 2 and the interface unit 16a (step S31). The scoring unit 17 refers to the identification number acquired together with the training result, and reads the corresponding model answer from the scoring data 132 of the storage unit 13a, that is, the model answer having the same identification number as the identification number included in the training result (step S32). ..

The scoring unit 17 uses the model answer read from the scoring data 132 of the storage unit 13a to score the training result (step S33). The scoring unit 17 determines, for example, if the procedure of the procedure of the trainee 7 shown by the training result is the same as the procedure of the procedure shown by the model answer, it judges pass, and the procedure of the procedure of the trainee 7 shown by the training result. If is different from the procedure of the procedure shown in the model answer, it is judged as a failure. In addition, when the target treatment time is set in the model answer, the scoring unit 17 determines pass if the treatment time until the trainee 7 resolves the abnormal state is within the target treatment time, and the trainee 7 If the treatment time until the abnormal state is resolved exceeds the target treatment time, a failure determination may be made. In addition, the scoring unit 17 may determine pass or fail using both the procedure of treatment and the target treatment time. The scoring unit 17 displays the scoring result on the display unit 15a (step S34).

The hardware configuration of the simulation control device 1a according to the second embodiment is similar to that of the simulation control device 1 according to the first embodiment. In the simulation control device 1a, the data creation unit 12a, the scenario selection unit 14, and the scoring unit 17 are realized by a processing circuit.

The scoring unit 17b refers to, for example, the results of the training by the plurality of trainees 7, the difficulty level is “difficult”, and the passing rate is 70% or more for the simulation scenario used in the training with the passing rate of 30% or less. Information of difficulty “easy” is set for the simulation scenario used in the training, and information of the difficulty “normal” is set for the simulation scenarios used for the other training with the pass rate. The scoring unit 17b updates the information of the user data 133 by changing the difficulty level determination for the simulation scenario in which the pass rate has changed.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a process in which the scenario selection unit 14b of the simulation control device 1b according to the third embodiment selects a simulation scenario.
