JPH01255401A - System for detecting crowded car of electric commuter train - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the concentration of congestion, by a method wherein crowded conditions of all the cars of a train are discriminated by using pressure sensitive switches arranged on the floors of electric cars in the shape of matrix while the result of the discrimination is transmitted to a next station to indicate it. CONSTITUTION:Mat switches 3, on which pressure sensitive switches discriminating the crowded condition of passengers of all the cars of a train by detecting the change of the pneumatic pressure of pneumatic springs 2 are arranged in the shape of matrix, are provided on the floor surface of the train 1. The crowded condition in the positions of every doors is discriminated by the operation signal of the pressure sensitive switches while the result of the discrimination is transmitted to a next station through the train radio 4 of an electric train. In the next station, the guidance of passengers is effected by lighting, flashing and the like of an indicating plate (a) and indicating lamps (b) on a platform 5 based on the transmitted information. According to this method, the passengers may be guided to the cars not crowded so much comparatively whereby the concentration of congestion may be avoided.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention detects the congestion situation on a commuter train for each vehicle and each door, and uses the detected data through the train radio line.
This relates to a commuter train crowded vehicle detection system that displays information on a display on the platform of the next station to guide passengers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, station staff visually checked and announced the congestion status of commuter trains for each vehicle or train that was expected to be crowded.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The conventional announcements of crowded cars mentioned above are made based on predictions based on the normal congestion situation or by visual observation, and cannot keep up with the congestion situation that changes depending on each train, week, time, etc.
Another disadvantage is that it is not possible to smoothly guide passengers to empty vehicles in advance.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of the present invention is to detect the air spring pressure of a commuter train and check the congestion situation of the entire train, and to install a mat switch in which pressure-sensitive switches are arranged in a matrix on the floor of the train.
It receives signals from pressure-sensitive switches per unit area, distinguishes between crowded doors and relatively empty doors, provides information to the next station via train radio, and guides passengers using platform indicator lights, etc. It has the function of

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is an external view of the commuter train car, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the platform.

A mat switch 3 detects changes in the air pressure of an air spring 2 of a commuter train 1 to determine the passenger congestion situation of the entire train, and has pressure-sensitive switches arranged in a matrix on the floor of the train.
When a passenger steps on the door, a pressure-sensitive switch is activated and sends a signal to determine the congestion situation at each door, and the information is transmitted to the next station via the commuter train's train radio 4. do.

Based on the transmitted information, passengers are guided by lighting or blinking the display board a and indicator lights on the platform 5.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention detects the air spring pressure of a commuter train to determine the congestion situation of the entire train, and also provides a mat switch in which pressure-sensitive switches are arranged in a matrix on the floor of the train. It receives signals from pressure-sensitive switches, distinguishes between crowded doors and relatively empty doors, transmits information to the next station via train radio, and guides passengers using indicator lights on the platform. , it is possible to guide passengers to relatively empty cars on commuter trains before the train enters the platform, which has the effect of avoiding concentration of congestion.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In commuter trains, changes in air spring pressure are detected to determine the congestion status of the entire vehicle, and mat switches are installed on the floor of the vehicle with pressure-sensitive switches arranged in a matrix, and signals from the pressure-sensitive switches per unit area are installed. A commuter train congestion vehicle detection system that receives the information, determines the congestion situation at each door, transmits the information to the next station via train radio, and guides passengers using indicator lights on the platform.
