BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an intermediate station guide apparatus that controls the display of guide information on guide information boards installed at intermediate stations on an operating route.

Conventionally, passenger guidance information is displayed by a guidance information display system at each station on a railway line. In this guide information display system, train operating conditions and the like are displayed as passenger guide information on guide information boards provided in station premises and on platforms, and provided to station users. When there is a change in the operational status of a railway line due to weather, accidents, or the like, the guidance information display system responds to the changed operational status by changing the passenger guidance information and displaying it on the guidance information board.

In Patent Document 1, a display control device installed in a station outputs passenger guidance information such as train destinations and departure order, and a display device having a plurality of LED indicators installed at station platforms, ticket gates, etc. A guidance information display system is disclosed.

The display control device of Patent Document 1 is connected to a train operation management device at a base station such as a destination station that is also a starting station and a turnaround station. Timetable information including track number, departure order information, etc. is stored. From this timetable information, the display control device at the base station extracts guidance information corresponding to the current time and information on the trains that are actually arriving and departing from the platform, and automatically displays it on the display device such as a guidance information board provided on the platform. is displayed on

In addition, in local railway lines where the number of trains in operation is small, normal timetable information during normal operation is stored for a plurality of intermediate stations or for each intermediate station existing between the starting station and the destination station1. One operation console is arranged. The operator console extracts guide information for multiple intermediate stations or each intermediate station corresponding to the current time from the regular timetable information corresponding to each intermediate station, and extracts the guide information installed at multiple intermediate stations or each intermediate station. automatically displayed on the board.

As mentioned above, the operation schedule of the railway line is greatly disturbed due to the occurrence of train accidents and bad weather on the operation line, and by taking measures such as suspension of trains and addition of extra trains. Become. At that time, the guidance information display system of each station is required to display guidance information adapted to the recovery process from this disordered timetable state to the normal timetable state, which is the normal operation timetable.

Therefore, in the guidance information display system of the base station connected to the operation management device, when the timetable information is disturbed, the guidance information board does not display the departure time but only the destination, or displays "under adjustment". Or only the character display during delay, or it is in a non-display state.

Then, when the operation status is restored to the normal timetable, the point in time when the timetable information stored in the operation management device was restored to the normal timetable is set by the operator's intervention processing and displayed on the guidance information board. Guidance information is restored to the state of the normal timetable. After the normal state is restored, guidance information corresponding to the timetable information stored in the operation management device is automatically displayed on the guidance information board at the base station.

On the other hand, at an intermediate station that is not connected to the operation management device, if the timetable information is disturbed, the operator will intervene from the console, and the guide information board will display only the text "adjusting" and delay, It is hidden. After confirming that the operation status has been restored to the normal timetable by calling the base station or the like, the operator performs restoration processing on the console to restore the normal timetable guide information display.

In addition, when the normal timetable is restored, there is a problem that it is not possible to know whether the train arriving at the intermediate station immediately after restoration is based on the normal timetable information after restoration or the train delayed due to the disordered timetable information. be. When a train with disturbed timetable information arrives, a problem arises that the destination of the arriving train differs from the destination displayed on the guidance information board restored to normal timetable information.

An object of the present invention is to provide guidance for intermediate stations following recovery from a disturbed operation timetable at a base station to a normal timetable, even on an operation route including an intermediate station that is not connected to an operation management device. To provide an intermediate station guidance device for quickly restoring an information board to a guide display of an ordinary timetable without any error in display contents.

An intermediate station guidance device according to the present invention for achieving the above objects is a base station guidance device that controls guidance information for each platform of a base station on an operating route, and guide information for each platform of an intermediate station on an operating route. The guide information board is connected to the guide information board to be displayed, and the guide information for each platform of the intermediate station generated based on the arrival and departure train information of the stored departure and arrival train information table corresponding to each platform of the intermediate station is displayed on the guide information board. and is transmitted from the base station guidance device when the base station guidance device recovers from the emergency mode in which the operation schedule is disrupted and returns to the normal mode after the operation schedule is restored. The restored train information includes arrival and departure train information of a first train that is the first train to depart from the base station after the restoration and a second train that departs after the first train, and the restored train information includes When the train information is received, the guide information is created using the departure and arrival train information of the intermediate station corresponding to the second train as the preceding train information, and the display of the guide information is displayed when the first train is at the intermediate station. After leaving the platform, the emergency mode is restored to the normal mode by starting with the guidance information board on the platform .

According to the intermediate station guidance device according to the present invention, the guide information board of the intermediate station is quickly restored to the guide display of the normal timetable following the restoration of the normal timetable from the disordered state of the operation timetable at the base station. It is possible to provide accurate guidance information to users of operating routes.

The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an overall system configuration diagram of a guidance information display system. The guidance information display system is installed at base station A, which is one starting station or destination station, and base station B, which is the other starting station or destination station. Base station guidance devices 2a and 2b, which are first guidance devices connected to the traffic management devices 1a and 1b, respectively, and an intermediate station between the base station A and the base station B An intermediate station guide device 2c, which is a second guide device installed at an intermediate station C2 among C1 to C3, is provided.

The operation management devices 1a, 1b and the base station guidance devices 2a, 2b are wired and/or wirelessly connected via a communication line such as a LAN to enable high-speed transmission. In the embodiment, operation control devices 1a and 1b are installed at base stations A and B, respectively. It may be connected to the A and B base station guidance devices 2a and 2b. Alternatively, a control device such as a PTC that controls only the base station may be used instead of the operation management device.

Further, in the conventional guidance information display system, no communication network is constructed between the base station and the intermediate station, whereas in the guidance information display system of the present embodiment, the base station guidance devices 2a, 2b and , and the intermediate station guidance device 2c are connected via a communication network N. As the communication network N, for example, a metal line that has already been laid along the service route R can be used, and a low-speed communication line with a poor communication speed such as this existing metal line is assumed. The amount of data transmitted from the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b to the intermediate station guidance device 2c via the communication network N is small, for example, about several tens of kilobytes.

The base station guidance device 2a installed at the base station A is a device that controls guidance information for each platform of the base station A. The installed guide information board 3a1 and guide information board 3a2 are connected.

Similarly, in the base station guidance device 2b installed at the base station B, there is a guidance information board 3b1 installed on platform Pb1 of track 1, which is the inbound direction, and a guide information board 3b1 installed on platform Pb2 of track 2, which is the downbound direction. A guide information board 3b2 is connected.

The intermediate station guidance device 2c installed at the intermediate station C2 is installed on platforms Pc11 to Pc31 of No. 1 track, which is the upward direction of a plurality of intermediate stations C1 to C3, and Pc12 to Pc32 of No. 2 platform, which is the downward direction, respectively. Information boards 3c11 to 3c31 and 3c12 to 3c32 are connected.

For these connections, the existing metal lines described above may be used. Although the intermediate station guide device 2c is installed at the second intermediate station C2 in the embodiment, it may be installed at any intermediate station C1-C3 where display control is performed, or the intermediate station guidance device 2c may be installed at any intermediate station C1-C3. , the intermediate station guidance device 2c may be installed respectively.

Further, the number of intermediate stations C between the base station A and the base station B is not limited to three intermediate stations C1 to C3, and can correspond to any number of intermediate stations C. An intermediate station guidance device 2c can also be installed at the intermediate station C as appropriate. When a plurality of intermediate station guidance devices 2c are installed in this manner, each intermediate station guidance device 2c is connected to the communication network N. FIG.

The operation management devices 1a and 1b store, as timetable information, operation schedules of operating trains arriving at and departing from stations on the service route R, and operation units connected to the operation management devices 1a and 1b (not shown) operate the operation schedules. can be created and modified.

Operation consoles 4a and 4b are connected to base station guidance devices 2a and 2b of base stations A and B, respectively. It is possible to check the operation status of trains on platforms Pa1 and Pb1 on track 1 and on platforms Pa2 and Pb2 on track 2 in the down direction.

On the other hand, an operation console 4c is connected to the intermediate station guide device 2c of the intermediate station C2, and the operator can check the operation status including departure information at the intermediate station through this operation console 4c. However, since the communication network N is compatible with low-speed communication lines, the operation status that can be confirmed is limited as described later.

In the guide information display system configured as described above, the operation management devices 1a and 1b installed at each of the base stations A and B are provided with the respective platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1 and Pb2 of the base stations A and B based on the timetable information. A departure/arrival train information table is stored for each train.

The operation management device 1a provides a departure/arrival train information table for the platforms Pa1 and Pa2 of the base station A to the base station guidance device 2a installed at the base station A to which it is connected. In addition, the operation management device 1b provides a departure/arrival train information table for the platforms Pb1 and Pb2 of the base station B to the base station guidance device 2b installed at the base station B to which it is connected. Then, the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b read the arrival/departure train information H for each platform P at the current time of the base stations A and B from the obtained departure/arrival train information table.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an arrival/departure train information table used normally. The arrival/departure train information table is a list of arrival/departure train information H of each train arriving/departing for each platform P of each station, for example. The arrival/departure train information table includes a train number for each operating train that arrives and departs, a train type indicating a local train, a limited express train, etc., a destination station, and a scheduled departure time. It consists of multiple lines arranged in parallel from the ascending line to the descending line in order from the operating train.

A train number is assigned a unique number or a character string that combines alphabets or katakana and numbers. good too. Furthermore, numbers may be assigned with odd numbers for the upstream direction and even numbers for the downstream direction.

If the arrival time and the departure time are greatly different from each other and there is an operating train that cannot be dealt with only by the departure time, not only the departure time but also the arrival time can be read as the departure/arrival train information H and tabulated.

The base station guide devices 2a and 2b generate guide information to be displayed on the guide information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1 and 3b2 corresponding to each platform P from the arrival and departure train information tables for each of these platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1 and Pb2. .

The guidance information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1, and 3b2 are provided with display means such as LED displays, and display guidance information transmitted from the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b. This display means can display two lines of character strings, for example, the preceding train on the first line and the next train on the second line, but it is sufficient if at least one line of character strings can be displayed.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the guidance information table of the guidance information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1 and 3b2 processed by the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b. It is configured by adding a column of departure information indicating whether T has not yet departed or has already departed.

The base station guidance devices 2a and 2b, based on the current time and train detection information from track circuits and the like on platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1 and Pb2, determine the train from the stop status of the train T on platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1 and Pb2. It is possible to determine whether T has not departed or has departed. Then, when it is determined that the train T has departed, as shown in FIG. 3, processing is performed to change the departure information of the corresponding train from non-departed to de-departed.

When the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b determine that the train T has departed, they update the display of the guidance information on the guidance information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1 and 3b2 of the platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1 and Pb2.

This update processing of the guidance information is performed when the preceding train information and the following train information are displayed in two lines on the guidance information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1, and 3b2. According to the departure information, the preceding train information of the preceding train T1, which has already departed, displayed on the first line is erased, and the following train information of the following train T2 displayed on the second line is erased from one line. It is shifted to the eye and displayed as the preceding train information, and the following train information of the following train T3, which is not displayed, is displayed as the following train information on the second line.

The display control processing of these guide information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1, and 3b2 includes the current time, the scheduled departure time of the train in the departure and arrival train information H, and the train T on the track circuit, etc. on the platforms Pa1, Pa2, Pb1, and Pb2. It is repeatedly executed based on the departure information of the train T updated by the detected information.

The actual number of lines displayed on the guide information board, that is, the number of trains, should not be limited to two as described above, and should be determined according to the size of the display provided on the guide information board. preferable.

At the operation consoles 4a and 4b installed at the base stations A and B, operators refer to the guidance information tables stored in the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b to determine how far the train has departed. It is possible to check the departure information for each platform P at the current base stations A and B shown.

In parallel with the display of guidance information repeatedly executed at the base stations A and B, the intermediate station guidance device 2c displays platforms Pc11 to Pc31 of No. 1 platform, which is the upward direction, and platforms Pc12 to Pc32, which is the downward direction, of No. 2 platform. Similar guidance information display control is performed on the first line guide information boards 3c11 to 3c31 and the second line guide information boards 3c12 to 3c32, respectively.

An operation console 4c is connected to the intermediate station information board 3c11 to 3c31 and the information boards 3c12 to 3c32 for the second track of the intermediate stations C1 to C3. Through the table 4c, it is possible to confirm the guidance display state of the first and second tracks of the route R, which are the uphill and downhill directions.

The intermediate station guide device 2c stores departure and arrival train information tables of the intermediate stations C1 to C3, and these departure and arrival train information tables are output from the operation management devices 1a and 1b capable of creating the operation schedule of the operating route R. and stored via a storage medium or the like. Therefore, when the timetable of the operating route R is revised, etc., it is necessary to update the departure/arrival train information table of the intermediate stations C1 to C3 stored in the intermediate station information device 2c via the operation console 4c.

The intermediate station guidance device 2c of the intermediate station C2 reads the arrival/departure train information H shown in FIG. is added to generate a guidance information table as shown in FIG. Based on the guide information table, guide information is displayed on the guide information boards 3c11 to 3c31 of the first line and the guide information boards 3c12 to 3c32 of the second line. The display control processing for displaying the guidance information on the guidance information boards 3c11 to 3c32 by the intermediate station guidance device 2c is the same as the display control processing for the guidance information boards 3a1 to 3b2 by the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b. Description is omitted.

In this way, on the guide information boards 3c11 to 3c31 of track 1 and the guide information boards 3c12 to 3c32 of track 2 of intermediate stations C1 to C3, the display of the guidance information is automatically switched as the train T progresses. It is

When bad weather or an accident occurs on the operating route R, the train cannot be operated according to the timetable information. Since the arrival of the train T at each station is greatly delayed, for example, in the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b of the base stations A and B, the train T will arrive at the base station A by the departure time indicated in the arrival/departure train information H. The train does not arrive at B and the intermediate station C, and the departure information in the guidance information remains in a non-departure state.

When the bus schedule is disrupted in this way, the normal mode is switched to the emergency mode by intervention processing from the operator consoles 4a and 4b. Alternatively, if the train T has not departed from the base stations A and B even after a predetermined time has passed since the scheduled departure time of the train T, the normal mode may be automatically shifted to the emergency mode. The normal mode is an operation mode in which a normal timetable, which is a normal timetable, is automatically displayed on the guidance information boards 3a and 3b according to the arrival and departure train information of the arrival and departure train information table.

When shifting to the emergency mode, the base station guidance devices 2a, 2b interrupt the display of the normal timetable guidance information on the guidance information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1, 3b2 of the base stations A, B, and display "under adjustment". Only display characters. Alternatively, it is also possible to hide all of the information without displaying the text "under adjustment", or to hide only the scheduled departure time of the normal guidance information.

When the base stations A and B shift from the normal mode to the emergency mode, the base station guidance devices 2a and 2b of the base stations A and B are placed at intermediate stations on the downstream side in the traveling direction of the train T whose operation schedule is disturbed. An emergency mode shift is transmitted as emergency information via the communication network N to the intermediate station guidance devices 2c of C1 to C3.

Intermediate station information board 3c11-3c31 and No. 2 information board 3c12-3c32 of connected intermediate stations C1-C3, base station A, As with the guide information boards 3a1, 3a2, 3b1, and 3b2 of B, the characters "under adjustment" are displayed. Alternatively, it is also possible to hide all of the information without displaying the text "under adjustment", or to hide only the scheduled departure time of the normal guidance information.

When the operation schedule is disturbed only for the upbound direction, the base station guidance device 2a of the base station A transmits emergency information to the intermediate station guidance device 2c as emergency information indicating that only the upbound direction is to be switched to the emergency mode. The intermediate station guidance device 2c, which has received this emergency information, displays the characters "under adjustment" only on the guide information boards 3c11 to 3c31 of the No. 1 track of the connected intermediate stations C1 to C3.

When the cause of the disturbance of the operation schedule of the operating route R is resolved and the base station guidance device 2a of the base station A is restored from the emergency mode to the normal mode, the base station guidance device 2a of the base station A reads from the departure/arrival train information table, Resuming reading of arrival/departure train information H at base station A at the current time.

The recovery process from the emergency mode to the normal mode is performed, for example, by the operator via the operation console 4a, from the departure/arrival train information table of the base station A read into the base station guidance device 2a. This is done by selecting and specifying the departure/arrival train information H regarding the first operating train of the .

FIG. 4 is a partial system configuration diagram of the base station A and the intermediate stations C1 to C3 on the No. 1 line, which is the inbound direction of the guide information display system, when the base station guidance device 2a is restored from the emergency mode to the normal mode. Then, regarding the case where the preceding train T1, which is the first train T to depart first after restoration on the platform Pa1 of the base station A, is, for example, the departure and arrival train information H on the second row of the departure and arrival train information table shown in FIG. showing.

When the operator designates the departure and arrival train information H1 of the first operating train after the restoration on the platform Pa1 of the base station A, the base station guide device 2a processes the departure and arrival train information H1 as the preceding train information, and the arrival and departure trains of the next row. The information H2 is processed as next train information, and guidance information is generated by adding the departure information to the arrival and departure train information H, and display control of the guidance information is performed on the guidance information board 3a1 of the platform Pa1. In accordance with the display command from the base station guidance device 2a, the guidance information board 3a1 displays guidance information with the preceding train information as departure/arrival train information H1 and the next train information as departure/arrival train information H2, as shown in the figure. The display control of guidance information is resumed.

After the restoration to the normal mode, the base station guidance device 2a and the guidance information board 3a1 detect the current time, the departure time of the operating train in the departure and arrival train information H, and the train detection of the train T by the track circuit etc. on the platform Pa1. Based on the information, the guide information of the operating train departing from the platform Pa1 of the base station A is automatically switched and displayed.

In this way, the operator designates the departure/arrival train information H1 of the first operating train after restoration on the platform Pa1 of the base station A, thereby restoring the display of the guidance information to the normal mode, and automatically restoring the guidance information at the base station A. At the same time as restarting the display, the base station guidance device 2a transmits the restored train information F to the intermediate station guidance device 2c via the communication network N.

This restored train information F indicates that the first starting train T1 after the restoration on the platform Pa1 of the base station A to the third successively departing train T3 departs from the base station A sequentially based on the departure/arrival train information H1 to H3. to the intermediate stations C1 to C3. When transmitting the restored train information F, taking into consideration that the communication network N is a low-speed communication line, the restored train information F for the three trains T1 to T3 is transmitted from the three rows of the departure/arrival train information table shown in FIG. The amount of data to be transmitted is kept low by setting the number of arrival and departure train information.

Based on the restored train information F transmitted from the base station guide device 2a, the intermediate station guide device 2c eliminates the disruption of the upbound operation schedule of the train T traveling from the base station A to the intermediate stations C1 to C3, and restores the base station. It recognizes that the guidance device 2a has been restored from the emergency mode to the normal mode. Then, the intermediate station guidance device 2c starts processing to restore the display of the guidance information on the guidance information boards 3c11 to 3c31 of the No. 1 track in the up direction of the intermediate stations C1 to C3 from the emergency mode to the normal mode. The restored train information F may be constantly transmitted by the base station guidance device 2a. Based on the information, processing to restore the normal mode may be started.

FIG. 5 shows the guide information of track No. 1 of the intermediate station C1, which is an adjacent station in the traveling direction of the train T, by the intermediate station guide device 2c after the base station guide device 2a and the guide information board 3a1 of the base station A are restored to the normal mode. It is a flowchart figure of the process which restores board 3c11.

When the emergency mode information is received from the base station guidance device 2a of the base station A as described above, the intermediate station guidance device 2c starts emergency mode control, and in step ST11, the train T moves from the base station A in the upward direction, which is the traveling direction of the train T. The characters "under adjustment" are automatically displayed on the guide information boards 3c11 to 3c31 of the intermediate stations C1 to C3.

In the next step ST12, it is confirmed whether or not the intermediate station guidance device 2c has received the restored train information F from the base station guidance device 2a. This restored train information F is the departure/arrival train information H1 to H3 of the first starting train T1 after the restoration at the base station A to the third successive train T3. The train numbers and the like of these arrival/departure train information H1 to H3 match the guidance information of the first train, the second train, and the next train in the guidance information generated by the base station guidance device 2a of the base station A after restoration to the normal mode.

In step ST12, if the intermediate station guidance device 2c has received the restored train information F, the process proceeds to step ST13.If the restored train information F has not been received, the process returns to step ST11 to receive the restored train information F. The loop process is repeated until As long as this loop processing continues, that is, as long as the disturbance in the operation schedule is resolved and the emergency mode is not canceled at the base station A, the information boards 3c11 to 3c31 continue to display the words "under adjustment".

When the restored train information F is received in step ST12, the process proceeds to step ST13. Based on the above, it is determined whether or not there is the arrival/departure train information H1' to H3' for three trains in the same order from the arrival/departure train information table of the intermediate station C1 stored in the console 4c.

In step ST13, if the arrangement order does not match, the process returns to step ST11, and a part of the departure/arrival train information table for the intermediate station C1 stored in the operation console 4c is replaced with the departure/arrival train information H1 to H3 included in the restored train information F. If the train numbers and train types match the order of train numbers and train types, the intermediate station guidance device 2c extracts the departure/arrival train information H' at the intermediate station C1 of the three matching trains.

The extracted arrival and departure train information H' of the three trains includes train numbers as shown in FIG. , and regarding the guide information of the corresponding train in the guide information table as shown in FIG. 3, the departure information is processed as already departed.

Subsequently, in step ST14, it is determined whether or not the preceding train T1 corresponding to the departure/arrival train information H1 at the base station A has arrived at the platform Pc11 of track 1 of the intermediate station C1.

At the beginning of restoration to the normal mode, there is a possibility that the temporary train T or the delayed train T is operating on the operation route R between the base station A and the intermediate station C1. There is a possibility that the arriving train T is not the first train T1 corresponding to the departure/arrival train information H1, which is the first train T after restoration to the normal mode.

Therefore, after recognizing that the starting train T1 has departed from the base station A by track circuit information, etc., the running position of the starting train T1 is tracked, and the starting train T1 arrives at the platform Pc11 of track 1 of the intermediate station C1. , it is possible to regard the train T arriving at the platform Pc11 before the scheduled departure time of the departure/arrival train information H1 as the above-mentioned special train T or delayed train T.

Note that the train arriving at platform Pc11 of track 1 of intermediate station C1 before or after the scheduled departure time of the departure/arrival train information H1' of intermediate station C1 may be regarded as the leading train T1.

In step ST14, when the preceding train T1 arrives at the platform Pc11 of the intermediate station C1, the process proceeds to step ST15.

In step ST15, after judging that the preceding train T1 has departed from the intermediate station C1 based on the track circuit information of the platform Pc11, the intermediate station guidance device 2c The guide information board 3c11 resumes displaying in the normal mode with the guide information consisting of the time as the preceding train information, and the guide information consisting of the type information, destination information, and scheduled departure time of the departure/arrival train information H3' as the next train information.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the guide information boards for the inbound direction when the preceding train T1 departs from the platform Pc11 of the intermediate station C1. ' is restored to the normal mode from the display with the preceding train information. Thereafter, the intermediate station guidance device 2c automatically controls the display of guidance information on the guidance information board 3c11 according to the guidance information table.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the guidance information board for the inbound direction when the preceding train T1 departs from the platform Pc21. The recovery process shown in FIG. conduct.

After judging that the preceding train T1 has departed from the intermediate station C2 based on the current time, the train detection information on the platform Pc21, and the scheduled departure time, the intermediate station guidance device 2c determines the type information of the departure/arrival train information H2'' on the platform Pc21, Guide information consisting of destination information and scheduled departure time is used as the preceding train information, and guidance information consisting of the type information, destination information and scheduled departure time of the arrival and departure train information H3'' is used as the next train information. Resume display.

In this way, as the preceding train T1 sequentially passes intermediate stations C1 to C3 in the upward direction, the guidance information displays on the guidance information boards 3c11 to 3c31 are restored to the normal mode. Then, at the destination base station B, which is the last station in the upward direction, the recovery process shown in FIG.

Regarding the guidance information display on the guide information boards 3c12 to 3c32 of the intermediate stations C1 to C3 when the traveling direction of the train T is the outbound direction, the intermediate station guidance device 2c similarly performs the processing shown in FIG. If the restored train information F from B is received and sequentially sent to the intermediate stations C3, C2, and C1, the guide information display can be restored to the normal mode, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The intermediate station guidance device 2c of the second embodiment is an invention of another form that employs a recovery process different from that of the intermediate station guidance device 2c of the first embodiment. It is a flowchart figure at the time of restoring 3c11.

In the guidance information display system of the first embodiment, the intermediate station guidance device 2c can trace the running position of the preceding train T1 leaving the base station A by the acquired track circuit information, etc. The station guidance device 2c is arranged in a guidance information display system that does not have a ground device for acquiring track circuit information, and is therefore used in a guidance information display system that cannot track the running position of the preceding train T1.

The processing of steps ST21 to ST23 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 is the same as the processing of steps ST11 to ST13 shown in FIG. 5, so description thereof will be omitted.

In step ST24, it is determined whether or not the scheduled departure time of the preceding train T1 corresponding to the departure/arrival train information H1 at the base station A has passed and the train T has arrived at the platform Pc11 of track 1 of the intermediate station C1.

Instead of the scheduled departure time of the departure/arrival train information H1, the judgment time is the time obtained by adding the travel time from the base station A to the intermediate station C1 to the scheduled departure time of the arrival/departure train information H1, or the arrival/departure train information of the intermediate station C1. The scheduled departure time of H1' may be used.

When the train T arrives at the platform Pc11, the process proceeds to step ST25 to determine whether or not the train T arriving at the platform Pc11 matches the preceding train T1 in the departure/arrival train information H1' of the timetable information at the intermediate station C1. conduct. This determination is made by confirming whether the train number of the arriving train T matches the train number of the departure/arrival train information H1'.

If the arriving train T is not the leading train T1 corresponding to the departure/arrival train information H1', the process returns to step ST24 again to wait for the arrival of the next train. Confirm whether or not T is the leading train T1. In this way, when it is confirmed in step ST25 that the arriving train T is the preceding train T1 corresponding to the departure/arrival train information H1', the process proceeds to step ST26.

Since the processing of step ST26 is the same as that of step ST15 shown in FIG. 5, the description thereof is omitted.
