〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a train operation control system as an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the entire system, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing its functions.

In Fig. 1, the reference numeral 1 indicates the platform of station A, and 1' indicates the platform 4 of station B. Post 2 planted in the rear)
A relay controller 10 is attached to.

The relay controller 10 is provided with a display section 11 such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), and an antenna 12.

Sensors 51 to 55 for detecting the passage of trains along the railway track 30 are installed at the entrance and exit of stations A and +3 and between stations A and B, respectively.

Reference numeral 20 indicates a central controller provided in the train operation central control room, and this central controller 20 is equipped with a computer 21 and a display section 22, and
Each sensor 51-55 and the relay controller 10 of each station are connected to the computer 21 via cables 41-49.

The code 6 indicates the ID card carried by the conductor 7,
The ID card 6 has a built-in ID code corresponding to the train number of the train, and allows contactless communication (via wireless or optical communication method) by approaching the antenna 12 provided on the relay controller 10. It is configured as follows.

Reference numeral 8 indicates a push button for a bell for signaling departure.Next, the functions of this system will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the train (not shown) arrives at station A, the sensor 51 detects this and the signal is transmitted to the central controller 20 (step "s").

At the (scheduled) departure time of the train, the conductor 7 approaches the push button 8 attached to the support column 2 and presses the push button 8 (step S2).

At this time, the ID card 6 carried by the conductor 7 approaches the antenna 12 of the relay controller 10, so communication between the relay controller 10 and the ID card 6 is performed, and the ID code built in the ID card 6 is transmitted to the relay controller 10. 10 to the central controller 20 (step S,).

The central controller 20 uses the ID code (train number) transmitted from the relay controller 10 of platform 1.
A comparison is made between the train schedule and the timetable of the train stored in the computer 21 (step Si), and as a result, if the train is according to the schedule, rYES or OK is displayed on the relay controller 10 of the platform 1. is displayed on the display section 11 provided in the.

If it is different from diamond, rNo.

A message to that effect is displayed on the display unit 11, and a numerical instruction is given as to how many minutes there are, and an alarm mechanism built in the relay controller 10 is activated to notify that fact by means of light emitting means or sounding means. , inform the conductor (step S4), depending on how many minutes there are differences.
The conductor can contact the driver.

In the case of rYEsJ, the circuit of the push button 8 is turned on, and a bell (not shown) provided on the platform 1 rings (step S).

When a train departs from station A and travels in the direction of station B, sensor 5
2 detects this, and the fact that the train has departed from station A is transmitted to the central controller 20 (step S,).

Then, the sensor 53 transmits to the central controller 20 that the train passes the intermediate point between station A and station B, and this is confirmed (stored) in the central controller 20 (
Step S,).

Eventually, the train will enter the next station B, and sensor 5 will indicate this.
4 is confirmed by the central controller 20 (step SS).

Then, at station B, the same operation as in the above case is performed.

In the above embodiment, the departure instruction from the central controller 20 is given based on the comparison with the timetable, but the position of the preceding train is based mainly on the signal from the sensor 53 as well as the comparison with the timetable. More precise operation control becomes possible by controlling departure instructions (rYEs, routes) based on the following.

The sensors 51 to 55 may be of a blocking type or a proximity type, or may be of a vehicle detection type simply using a coil embedded in the railway track. By arranging a large number of sensors 53, it is possible to control train operation. Needless to say, it is possible to further refine the details.
