Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the train taking rate on each vehicle to be indicated in the next station by providing on an electric car respective load measuring device for measuring the load of passengers, a train taking rate calculating means for calculating the train taking rate and a transmitting means for transmitting to a receiving means provided in the next station. CONSTITUTION:After passengers get on and off, respective load measuring devices 8, 9, 10 measure loads of the passengers on respective vehicles 5, 6, 7. These loads are compared with those of fixed number of passengers to calculate the respective train taking rates of vehicles 5, 6, 7. Then, a transmitting means 14 emits the respective train taking rates calculated by a train taking rate calculating means 12 as modulated electric waves from an antenna 13 sequentially in the mentioned order of vehicles 5, 6, 7. As a result, the train taking rates of the respective vehicles 5, 6, 7 are indicated on respective indicators 21, 22, 23. Thus, the number of passengers getting on vacant vehicles is increased to uniform the train taking rates of vehicles 5, 6, 7. Also, since many passengers get on the vacant vehicle a time taken for passengers getting on the vehicle is shortened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a occupancy rate display device that displays the passenger rate of electric cars arriving at each railway station.

(Conventional technology) When operating a railway, the mission is to safely and accurately transport a large number of passengers, and to accomplish this mission, efficient transport of passengers is extremely important. . In other words, when allowing passengers to board a vehicle, it is necessary to understand the congestion state of each vehicle, that is, the occupancy rate, and to distribute the passengers according to this occupancy rate. However, currently there is no means to grasp the occupancy rate of each vehicle, and the challenge is how to efficiently allocate passengers to each vehicle. For this reason, the occupancy rate of each electric vehicle may be uneven, and in such a case, it takes time to board the vehicle, causing a delay.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the occupancy rate of each vehicle is not grasped, and it takes time to board the vehicle, and furthermore, the occupancy rate of each vehicle is uneven.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an occupancy rate display device that can display the occupancy rate of each arriving electric vehicle.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides each load Al measuring device that is provided for each electric vehicle to determine the load caused by the passenger, and the aPj determined by these load measuring devices. an occupancy rate calculation means for calculating the occupancy rate for each vehicle from the load; a reception means provided at each station; a display means for displaying the occupancy rate received by the reception means; This is an occupancy rate display device that attempts to achieve the above object by including a transmitting means for transmitting the occupancy rate to a receiving means provided at the next stop of the electric car.

(Function) By providing such a means, the load caused by passengers in each vehicle is measured by the load a constant, and the occupancy rate calculation means calculates the occupancy rate for each vehicle from this load. This calculated occupancy rate is transmitted by the transmitting means to the receiving means provided at the next stop station of the electric car, and thus the occupancy rate for each vehicle is displayed on the display means at the next station.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the occupancy rate display device. In the figure, 1 and 2 are stations, and a track 3 is provided between these stations 1 and 2. Furthermore, an electric car 4 is parked at the station 2. Note that this electric car 4 includes vehicles 5, 6, .
7 is a three-car train, and when it departs from station 2, its next stop is station 1.

Now, each vehicle 5, 6.7 of the electric vehicle 4 is provided with a load illuminator 8, 9.10, respectively, as shown in FIG. These load measuring devices 8, 9, and 10 each measure the load exerted by passengers, and are, for example, load cells disposed on the floor of each vehicle. Further, the leading vehicle 5 of the electric car 4 is provided with a controller 11, and this controller 11 is equipped with the following functions. In other words, each load measuring device 8,9.10 receives each load determined by n1, and compares these loads with the load when riding at capacity to calculate the occupancy rate for each vehicle 5,6.7. It is provided with a rate calculating means 12 and a transmitting means 14 which modulates each occupancy rate calculated by the occupancy rate calculating means 12 and radiates it as a radio wave from an antenna 13.

On the other hand, each station 1.2 is provided with a receiving means 15 and a display means 16. Here, the receiving means 15 and display means 16 at station 1 will be explained with reference to FIG. 3. The receiving means 15 demodulates the radio waves received by the antenna 17 to detect the occupancy rate of each vehicle, It has a function of sending the information to the display means 16. This display means 16 is for displaying the received occupancy rate, and is composed of a display control means 18 and display devices 19, 20, etc. for segment display.

The display control means 18 controls the segment display of each display 19.20, and also controls the display of each display 19.2.
0 has display sections 21, 22, 23 for each vehicle. The display section 21 displays the occupancy rate of the first vehicle, the display section 22 displays the occupancy rate of the intermediate vehicles, and the display section 23 displays the occupancy rate of the last vehicle. .

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be explained.

When the electric car 4 arrives at the station 2 and passengers finish boarding and alighting, the doors of each car 5, 6, and 7 are closed. In this state, the load all regulators 8, 9.10 respectively set the loads caused by the passengers of each vehicle 5, 6.7 to 1-1. When an instruction to measure the occupancy rate is given to the controller 11 by a keystroke by a crew member, or when it is detected that the door is closed, the occupancy rate calculation means 12 of the controller 11 calculates the number of occupancy rates from each load measuring device 8, 9, 10.
Collect the measured loads and compare these loads with the load when the vehicle is fully occupied to determine the occupancy rate for each vehicle, e.g. 90 [%], 80 [%], 50 [%] ]
Calculate. Next, the transmitting means 14 modulates each occupancy rate calculated by the occupancy rate calculation means 12 in order from the occupancy rate of the leading vehicle 5 to the following vehicle 6.7, and causes the antenna 13 to radiate it as a radio wave. At this time, the output frequency of the transmitting means 14 is the same as the receiving frequency of the receiving means 15 provided at the station 1 where the electric car 4 stops next.

On the other hand, the receiving means 15 of the station 1 demodulates the radio waves captured by the antenna 17, detects each occupancy rate, and sends these occupancy rates to the display control means 18. This display control means 18 sends each occupancy rate to each display 19, 20 for display. Therefore, to explain the display on the display 19 as an example, the display control means 18 first sends the received occupancy rate to the display section 21 of the display 19, and then sends the received occupancy rate to the display section 22. Then, the next received occupancy rate is sent to the display section 23. As a result,
The display unit 21 shows the occupancy rate of the vehicle 5 as 90%, and the display unit 22
The occupancy rate of vehicle 6 is 60 [%], and the display unit 23 shows vehicle 7.
The occupancy rate of 50% is displayed.

In this way, in the above embodiment, each vehicle has an angle of 5°6.7
Receiving means 1 installed at the next stop station measures the load due to passengers for each car and calculates the occupancy rate for each car.
5 and the occupancy rate of each car 5, 6.7 at this station is displayed on the display 19.20. You can understand the occupancy rate.

Therefore, the number of passengers riding in relatively empty vehicles increases, and the occupancy rate of each vehicle 5, 6.7 becomes uniform. or,
Since many passengers will board a relatively empty vehicle, the time required for boarding will be shortened, and efficient transportation will be possible.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be modified without departing from the spirit thereof.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an occupancy rate display device that can display the occupancy rate of each arriving electric vehicle.
