Description

The present invention is a new technology for how to get on and off a vehicle at a railway station or the like.

Conventionally, when railway lines are laid above ground, the railway lines divide cities where various facilities are concentrated, so in Tokyo, the division of the city has been resolved by making the railway lines elevated or underground. When railway lines are elevated or underground, stations above ground are moved vertically, creating the problem that railway users have to travel longer distances up and down before getting on and off the train. In order to solve this problem, it is common practice to install escalators and elevators in station premises (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-292255

By installing escalators and elevators, the burden of vertical movement at stations appears to have been resolved, but the fundamental long vertical movement distance itself remains unresolved. In addition, at high-rise stations or deep underground stations, it is necessary to increase the vertical movement per unit of escalators, elevators, and other moving equipment, or to install multiple moving equipment, which reduces installation and maintenance costs. It's also a big burden.

In addition, when boarding and disembarking trains, only the platform stairway entrances or escalator and elevator entrances and exits are congested, and boarding and alighting on platforms far from the stairway entrances, escalators and elevator entrances is dependent on the autonomy of railway users. Therefore, the congestion situation of the train varies depending on each vehicle.
Furthermore, stores such as "Eki Naka Business" are being developed in the concourse inside the ticket gates of stations to meet the needs of a variety of users. This also contributes to congestion and adds to the burden of getting on and off the train.

From the above, the present invention provides a method for moving to a traffic vehicle by riding in another vehicle, improving convenience for users getting on and off the traffic vehicle, and making it possible to move from a traffic vehicle to a traffic vehicle by using a simple vehicle with few incidental facilities. The aim is to provide a system for getting on and off vehicles.

After intensive studies to solve the above problem, the present inventor came up with the following invention and found that the problem could be solved. That is, the present invention is as follows.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(First embodiment)
[Vehicle-to-vehicle boarding system]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system of the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating movement of the main vehicle and shuttle vehicle, and movement of passengers.
The inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system 10 of the first embodiment includes a main transportation system 18 that includes a main vehicle 14 running on a main line 12, a main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 where passengers get on and off the main vehicle 14, and a main vehicle 14 that carries passengers. A shuttle vehicle 22 that transports a vehicle, a shuttle vehicle platform 24 that is provided around the main vehicle platform 16 and where passengers get on and off the shuttle vehicle 22, and a shuttle vehicle 22 that connects the main vehicle platform 16 and the shuttle vehicle platform 24. and a secondary transportation system 28 including a passageway 26 for shuttle vehicles on which the shuttle vehicles travel. Passengers get on and off the main vehicle 14 by moving between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 at the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16.

<Main transportation system>
The main transportation system 18 includes a main vehicle 14 that runs on the main line 12, and a main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 where passengers get on and off the main vehicle 14. Examples of such a main transportation system 18 include a current train transportation system in which the main line 12 is a track and the main vehicle 14 is a train, and a transportation system in which the main line 12 is an expressway and the main vehicle 14 is an express bus. system.

The main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 is a place where passengers move between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 and where passengers board and alight from the main vehicle 14. The main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 only needs to allow passengers to move between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22, and can have a simple structure. For example, the main vehicle boarding area 16 shown in FIG. 2 includes a main vehicle stop 16a where the main vehicle 14 stops and a shuttle vehicle stop 16b where the shuttle vehicle 22 stops. At the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16, only the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 are directly moved, so other configurations such as escalators, elevators, restaurants, convenience stores, goods shops, etc. that currently exist at the station may be installed. This allows for a simpler structure, which reduces the need for duplicate facilities and equipment within the station premises, and also enables the use of convenience stores and other facilities on the ground, contributing to the consolidation of facilities and energy savings.

Further, the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 of the inter-vehicle boarding/disembarking system 10 of this embodiment is preferably provided on the second floor above the ground, as shown in FIG. By providing the main vehicle platform 16 on the second floor and making it elevated, it is possible to prevent the town around the main vehicle platform 16 from being divided by the main line 12 and the main vehicle platform 16. In addition, when the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 is provided on three or more floors above ground, the effect is exhibited by applying the inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system 10.

<Secondary transportation system>
The secondary transportation system 28 includes a shuttle vehicle 22 that transports passengers to the main vehicle 14, a shuttle vehicle platform 24 provided around the main vehicle platform 16, and a shuttle vehicle platform 24 where passengers get on and off the shuttle vehicle 22, and the main vehicle platform 16. and a shuttle vehicle passageway 26 on which the shuttle vehicle 22 runs, which connects the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24.

The shuttle vehicle 22 moves between the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 provided on the second floor above ground and the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24 provided on the first floor above ground, and transports passengers riding in the main vehicle 14 from the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24. Alternatively, passengers who get off from the main vehicle 14 are transported to the shuttle vehicle boarding area 24.
The shuttle vehicle 22 is not particularly limited as long as it can transport passengers to the main vehicle 14, but examples include a train, a streetcar (LRT: Light Rail Transit), a steel-wheeled linear vehicle (linear metro), and Buses (BRT: Bus Rapid Transit) etc. can be used.

Further, in the inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system of the first embodiment, the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 stop adjacent to each other at the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16, and as shown by arrow B in FIG. 14 and shuttle vehicle 22 directly. Therefore, it is preferable that the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 have their doors overlapped when they are stopped. Furthermore, if the doors of the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 can be arranged so that their doors overlap, two shuttle vehicles 22 can be arranged adjacent to one main vehicle 14, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, three or more shuttle vehicles 22 may be used. Further, one shuttle vehicle 22 may be arranged adjacent to one main vehicle 14.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24 is located around the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16, and is provided on the first floor above the ground. The shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24 can have a simple configuration that includes a stopping place for the shuttle vehicle 22 and a boarding area therefor. Additionally, benches, chairs, waiting rooms, information boards, etc. may be provided as necessary. The shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24 can be, for example, a streetcar stop, a bus stop, or the like.

The number of shuttle vehicle platforms 24 relative to the main vehicle platform 16 may be three as shown in FIG. 2, one to two, or four or more. By setting the number of shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting stations 24 to two or more, it is possible to board the shuttle vehicle from a plurality of locations around the main vehicle boarding and alighting station 16. In addition, by having two or more shuttle vehicles 22 adjacent to one main vehicle 14 and moving the shuttle vehicles 22 to different shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting areas 24, passengers can ride in the main vehicle 14. The present invention is not limited to this, and the user can travel to a desired destination by riding in the shuttle vehicle 22 of the desired destination.

The shuttle vehicle passageway 26 is a passageway that connects the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 and the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area 24, and is a path along which the shuttle vehicle 22 travels. The shuttle vehicle passage 26 can be changed depending on the type of shuttle vehicle 22 described above. If the shuttle vehicle 22 is a train, streetcar, or linear metro, it is a track, and if it is a bus, it can be a road.

(Shuttle vehicle configuration)
Next, a preferred configuration of the shuttle vehicle 22 used in this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the shuttle vehicle 22 is preferably a low-floor vehicle. A low-floor vehicle is a vehicle in which the floor height A, which is the height from the ground to the floor surface 32 of the shuttle vehicle 22, is within 350 mm. By using a low-floor vehicle as the shuttle vehicle 22, the riding position (height) of the shuttle vehicle 22 and the height of the floor surface 32 of the shuttle vehicle 22 can be made approximately equal. Thereby, when the wheelchair user 34 gets on the shuttle vehicle 22, there is no need to climb over steps, and the wheelchair user 34 can get on and off the shuttle vehicle 22 in the same way as an able-bodied person. Also, when passengers move between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 at the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16, the height of the shuttle vehicle stop 16b is adjusted to eliminate the difference in level between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22. Therefore, it is possible to improve the convenience for the wheelchair user 34 when boarding the main vehicle 14. Furthermore, when the wheelchair user 34 gets on the shuttle vehicle 22 at the position of the shuttle vehicle 22 that corresponds to the wheelchair boarding position provided in the main vehicle 14 at the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16, movement from the shuttle vehicle 22 to the main vehicle 14 is facilitated. It can be done smoothly. This eliminates the need for the wheelchair user 34 to move across the platform from the current station elevator installation location to the wheelchair boarding position on the train, thereby improving convenience for the wheelchair user 34. . By eliminating the steps, it is possible to improve the convenience for stroller users, elderly people, people with disabilities, etc. when getting on and off the shuttle vehicle 22 and when moving between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22.

Furthermore, it is preferable to use an iron-wheel linear type vehicle (linear metro) as the low-floor vehicle. By using a linear type vehicle, the linear motor has a flat motor part, so the floor height can be lowered.In addition, it has a compact bogie structure with small diameter wheels and a short axle distance, and the axle can be adjusted to fit curves. By adopting a "steering mechanism" that changes the speed, it becomes possible to make tight turns and design a passageway 26 for shuttle vehicles with sharp curves.
Furthermore, since the drive system does not rely on friction between wheels and rails, the running resistance is low and it is possible to run on steep gradients of 6 to 8%, making it possible to design steep gradient passageways 26 for shuttle vehicles.
In this way, by using an iron-wheel linear type vehicle as the shuttle vehicle 22, when designing the shuttle vehicle passage 26, it is possible to design a shuttle vehicle passage 26 with a steep slope and a sharp curve. Flexible design of the shuttle vehicle passage 26 becomes possible.

Further, it is preferable that the shuttle vehicle 22 has an automatic ticket gate 40 within the shuttle vehicle 22. FIG. 4(A) is a diagram of the vicinity of the door of the shuttle vehicle, and FIG. 4(B) is a diagram of the door in an open state. An automatic ticket gate 40 is installed in front of the door 42 of the shuttle vehicle 22, and by passing through the automatic ticket gate 40 when getting off the shuttle vehicle 22 in order to board the main vehicle 14, the automatic ticket gate 40 is installed in front of the door 42 of the shuttle vehicle 22. Similarly, it is possible to pay the fare. By providing the automatic ticket gate 40 in the shuttle vehicle 22, it is not necessary to provide each automatic ticket gate in the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16, and the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16 can have a simple structure. Users who do not have an electronic ticket can purchase one at a convenience store or the like near the shuttle vehicle boarding area 24.

Furthermore, by not operating the automatic ticket gate 40 until the main vehicle 14 has stopped at the main vehicle platform 16 and is adjacent to the shuttle vehicle 22, it is possible to prevent people from getting off the shuttle vehicle 22. It can have the same function as an installed automatic door, and the installation and maintenance of a platform door can be omitted. This prevents passengers from getting off the shuttle vehicle 22 because they are waiting inside the vehicle before the main vehicle 14 arrives, and it is possible to eliminate serious disasters such as personal accidents.

Although the automatic ticket gate 40 is described as being passed through when getting off the shuttle vehicle 22 in FIG. 4, the present embodiment is not limited thereto. When boarding the shuttle vehicle 22 at the shuttle vehicle boarding/disembarking area 24, the user may also pass through an automatic ticket gate 40. Furthermore, when getting off the vehicle, you may pass through the automatic ticket gate 40 when getting off the main vehicle 14 and getting on the shuttle vehicle 22. may be passed through. In either case, since an automatic ticket gate is not provided at the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16, the main vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 16 has a simple structure and the fare can be paid. Transfer payments, etc. will be handled using manned surveillance cameras installed inside the shuttle vehicle.

Further, the shuttle vehicle 22 can be used as a waiting room while waiting for the shuttle vehicle 22 to depart and while waiting for the main vehicle 14 to arrive. By using the shuttle vehicle 22 as a waiting room, there is no need to provide a waiting room in the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16, and the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 can have a simple structure. By making the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16 a simple structure, the construction cost and maintenance cost of existing station facilities (ticket gates, concourses, platforms) can be reduced. The shuttle vehicle 22 can be provided with a TV monitor that shows the departure time of the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22, the arrival time of the main vehicle 14, and the like.

Next, a method for getting on and off the main vehicle 14 of the inter-vehicle getting on and off system 10 of this embodiment will be explained. Passengers who wish to board the main vehicle 14 first board the shuttle vehicle 22 at a shuttle vehicle boarding area 24. The shuttle vehicle 22 carrying passengers travels along the shuttle vehicle passage 26 and moves to the main vehicle boarding area 16. The shuttle vehicle 22 that has moved to the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 is placed adjacent to the main vehicle 14. The shuttle vehicle 22 may be moved before the main vehicle 14 arrives at the main vehicle boarding area 16, or may be moved after the main vehicle 14 arrives. Movement between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22 is performed by passengers moving directly between the respective vehicles, as shown by arrow B in FIG. In this way, passengers who have traveled in the shuttle vehicle 22 can board the main vehicle 14. Passengers who have gotten off the main vehicle 14 and boarded the shuttle vehicle 22 are transported to the shuttle vehicle boarding/disembarking area 24 as the shuttle vehicle 22 travels along the shuttle vehicle passage 26 and are alighted from the shuttle vehicle 22 at the shuttle vehicle boarding/disembarking area 24. do.

In this way, by transporting passengers to the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 using the shuttle vehicle 22, vertical movement of passengers to the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 provided on the second floor above the ground is facilitated, and transportation system users can improve the convenience of In addition, when getting off the main vehicle 14, the shuttle vehicle 22 transports passengers from the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 to the shuttle vehicle boarding/disembarking area 24, which facilitates vertical movement of passengers and improves convenience for users of the transportation system. can be improved.
Furthermore, by directly moving the main vehicle platform 16 between the main vehicle 14 and the shuttle vehicle 22, the main vehicle platform 16 can be changed to the main vehicle platform 16a where the main vehicle 14 and shuttle vehicle 22 stop, respectively. It can be a simple structure in which a shuttle vehicle stop 16b is provided.

This allows the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 to have a simple structure that does not include incidental facilities associated with vertical movement such as escalators and elevators, as well as restaurants, convenience stores, goods shops, etc. The construction cost for constructing the field 16 and the maintenance cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the passengers riding on the main vehicle 14 can be dispersed and transported to the main vehicle boarding/disembarking area 16 using the shuttle vehicle 22, the passengers riding on the main vehicle 14 can also be dispersed.

As in the inter-vehicle boarding and alighting system 410 of the fourth embodiment, the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting areas 24 are provided at each facility such as an apartment complex 462, a commercial facility 464, a medical care facility 466, and a logistics facility 468, and the shuttle vehicle boarding and alighting area of each facility is provided. By boarding the shuttle vehicle 22 from 24, it is possible to move directly to the main vehicle boarding and alighting area 16, thereby improving convenience for the user. Furthermore, when traveling to each facility, the user gets on the shuttle vehicle 22 headed for the destination, and the shuttle vehicle 22 takes him to each facility, thereby improving convenience for the user.

Furthermore, since the shuttle vehicle boarding/disembarkation area 24 is provided at each facility and the shuttle vehicle 22 can be moved from the main vehicle platform 16, each facility can be provided separately from the main vehicle platform 16. Therefore, it is possible to construct a decentralized and flexible city plan, instead of the conventional city plan of a station aggregation type in which various facilities are provided around stations.
