Description

The present invention relates to a station determination system for determining a station on which an own vehicle has arrived on a railway.

In railways, there is a vehicle-mounted IC card ticket system. The vehicle-mounted IC card ticket system has an IC card processor for automatic fare calculation and collection. The IC card processing machine is composed of an IC ticket gate or the like. Conventionally, as an IC ticket gate, an automatic train ticket gate using a non-contact type IC card has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This automatic train ticket gate has a stop station detection device that detects a stopped station (see FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1).

IC ticket gates and the like need to accurately switch station settings in fare calculation and the like each time a vehicle departs from or arrives at a station. Therefore, it is required to accurately determine the station where the own vehicle has arrived.

Conventionally, a train position detecting device has been known (see Patent Document 2). This train position detector uses a GPS receiver and a speed generator to determine the position. It is conceivable to use such a train position detecting device to determine the station where the own vehicle has arrived. However, since the position determination by GPS or the speed generator has an error, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, if the next stop station to arrive after the train departs from A001 station is A002 station, the next stop station is A002 station. If there is another station, A003 station, nearby, it may be erroneously determined that the station that arrived is A003 station.

In the present embodiment, the train system number master data 61 is data in which a stop station, a passing station, and a determination condition are described for each train system number. The train system number is a number assigned to each operation system of the own vehicle 2 operated as a train to clarify the operation (stop station order, time, etc.) of the self-organization. The determination condition specifies the equipment (GPS receivers 3a and 3b and the speed generator 3c) used for station determination. The details of the designation will be described later. The route master data 62 is data in which information (station name, latitude and longitude, station determination range) regarding all stations on the route on which the own vehicle 2 is operated is described.

The operation of the station determination system 1 configured as described above will be described when GPS is used (see FIG. 2). The station determination arithmetic unit 5 acquires the destination station A001, which is the stop station where the own vehicle 2 arrives next, from the train system number master data 61 (determination station 1-2). The destination station is used in the calculation for finding the judgment station.

Next, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the station range GL1 corresponding to the target station A001 from the line master data 62 (determination station 1-2).

The station range is also called a station determination range, and is a circular range (radius) set for each station. As will be described later, if the own train 2 is within the range, it is determined to be the same station. The station range can be set for each station.

Next, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 is between the current position information (X2, Y2) acquired from the GPS receivers 3a and 3b of each system and the coordinates (X1-1, Y1-1) of the destination station A001. Calculate the distance d1 (distance between two points). The coordinates (X1-1, Y1-1) of the destination station A001 are the latitude X1-1 and the longitude Y1-1 of the destination station A001, and are also called the destination station position. Then, the station determination calculation device 5 determines whether or not the current position information (X2, Y2) is within the station range GL1 of the target station A001. The current position information (X2, Y2) is the latitude X2 and the longitude Y2 of the own vehicle 2, and is also called the vehicle traveling position.

When the current position information (X2, Y2) obtained by the position information acquisition unit 3 (3a, 3b) is within the station range GL1 of the target station A001 (d1 ≦ GL1), the station determination calculation device 5 owns the vehicle 2. Is within the station range GL1 of the destination station A001. As a result, the station determination transitions from the undetermined state to the switching state (determination station 1-1).

A station where the arrival of the own vehicle 2 is confirmed from the result of the station determination calculation is called a determination station. The undetermined state is a state in which the determination station is undetermined. The confirmed state is a state in which the determination station is confirmed. The switching state is an intermediate state in which the undetermined state is switched to the confirmed state.

Next, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 arrives at the target station A001 when the door opening possibility information input from the door opening information unit 4 (door interlocking lamp contact) can be opened. Is determined. As a result, the station determination transitions from the switching state to the confirmed state (determination station 1-1).

Next, when the current position information (X2, Y2) is outside the station range GL1 of the determination station A001 (GL1 ≦ d1), the station determination calculation device 5 cancels the determination station A001. As a result, the station determination transitions from the confirmed state to the undetermined state (determination station 1-1).

As in the case of the destination station A001, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the destination station A002, which is the stop station where the own vehicle 2 arrives next, from the train system number master data 61 (determination station 1-2).

Next, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the station range GL2 corresponding to the target station from the line master data 62 (determination station 1-2).

Next, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 is between the current position information (X2, Y2) acquired from the GPS receivers 3a and 3b of each system and the coordinates (X1-2, Y1-2) of the destination station A002. Calculate the distance d1 (distance between two points). Then, the station determination calculation device 5 determines whether or not the own vehicle 2 is within the station range GL2 of the destination station A002.

When the current position information (X2, Y2) obtained by the position information acquisition unit 3 (3a, 3b) is within the station range GL2 of the target station A002 (d1 ≦ GL2), the station determination calculation device 5 owns the vehicle 2. Is determined to be within the station range GL2 of the destination station A002. As a result, the station determination transitions from the undetermined state to the switching state (determination station 1-1). Hereinafter, the same applies to the case of the destination station A001, so the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above-mentioned operation, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 sets the distance d1 between the current position information (X2, Y2) acquired from the GPS receivers 3a and 3b of each system and the coordinates (X1, Y1) of the destination station. , Calculate the great circle distance.

The great circle distance is the great circle distance on the earth, and is the distance between two points on the earth that approximates the earth as a sphere. In this embodiment, assuming that the shape of the earth is a sphere whose radius is the equatorial radius Er, the distance d1 between the current position information (X2, Y2) and the coordinates (X1, Y1) of the destination station is calculated by the following equation. do.

d1 = Er ・ cos ^-1 (sinY1, sinY2 + cosY1, cosY2, cosΔx)

Δx = X2-X1

The station determination arithmetic unit 5 calculates the distance d1 when the current position information (X2, Y2) acquired from the GPS receivers 3a and 3b changes.

The operation of the station determination system 1 will be described with respect to the case where the speed generator 3c is used. As shown in FIG. 3, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 acquires the destination station A001, which is the stop station where the own vehicle 2 arrives next, from the train system number master data 61 (determination station 2-2).

Next, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the station range GL1 corresponding to the target station from the line master data 62 (determination station 2-2).

The station determination arithmetic unit 5 calculates the mileage of the own vehicle 2 based on the rotation of the wheels measured by the speed generator 3c.

The calculation method will be described. Imb is the cumulative pulse value (previously acquired) output from the waveform shaping board of the speed generator 3c and input to the station determination arithmetic unit 5, and the cumulative pulse value (currently acquired) output from the waveform shaping board. Let be Ima. These pulse values are variables.

The maximum value of the cumulative pulse value output from the waveform shaping board is Imm. Let F be the pulse value output from the waveform shaping board per one rotation of the wheel. Let the reduction ratio be Sr. Let the wheel diameter be Wr. These constants are stored in the station determination arithmetic unit 5 as a maintenance setting file.

Let dx be the acquisition distance acquired by the speed generator 3c. The acquisition distance dx is the difference between the previously acquired Imb and the current acquisition Ima of the input pulse value to the station determination arithmetic unit 5. The acquisition distance dx is calculated by the following equation.

Ima ≧ Imb: dx = Wr ・ π ・ (Ima-Imb) / (F ・ Sr)

Ima <Imb: dx = Wr ・ π ・ (Imm-Imb + Ima) / (F ・ Sr)

The mileage di is an integration of the acquired distance dx.

di = Σdx

The station determination calculation device 5 determines whether or not the own vehicle 2 is within the station range GL1 of the target station A001 based on the data of the mileage di and the inter-station distance SL as follows.

The distance difference d2 between stations is the difference between the distance SL1 between stations and the mileage di.

d2 = SL1-di

When d2 ≦ GL1, the station determination calculation device 5 determines that the own vehicle 2 is within the station range GL1 of the target station A001. As a result, the station determination transitions from the undetermined state to the switching state (determination station 2-1).

Next, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 arrives at the target station A001 when the door opening possibility information input from the door opening information unit 4 (door interlocking lamp contact) can be opened. Is determined. As a result, the station determination transitions from the switching state to the confirmed state (determination station 2-1).

When the station determination transitions from the switching state to the confirmed state, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 clears the mileage di.

di = 0

Next, when the current position information is outside the station range GL1 of the determination station A001 (GL1 ≦ di), the station determination calculation device 5 cancels the determination station A001. As a result, the station determination transitions from the confirmed state to the undetermined state (determination station 2-1).

As in the case of the destination station A001, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the destination station A002, which is the stop station where the own vehicle 2 arrives next, from the train system number master data 61 (determination station 2-2).

Next, the station determination calculation device 5 acquires the station range GL2 corresponding to the target station from the line master data 62 (determination station 2-2). Hereinafter, the same applies to the case of the destination station A001, so the description thereof will be omitted.

The station determination system 1 includes a plurality of system position information acquisition units 3 (see FIG. 1). However, the position information acquisition unit 3 may be limited in the position information that can be acquired, such as a device failure or the GPS information cannot be received due to the structure / position condition of the station. Therefore, the station determination calculation device 5 is configured to be able to specify the position information acquisition unit 3 of the system to be used among the position information acquisition units 3 of the plurality of systems. The station determination arithmetic unit 5 may specify the position information acquisition unit 3 of the system to be used for each station. For example, the station determination arithmetic unit 5 uses the GPS receivers 3a and 3b and the speed generator 3c at the A station, uses the speed generator 3c at the B station, and uses the GPS receivers 3a and 3b at the C station. .. Such designation is stored in advance as data in the train system number master data 61.
