Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a train operation monitoring device for centrally managing the operation status of each train within an operating section at a ground-side operation control center.

<Prior art> This type of conventional traffic control monitoring device sends information indicating the status of track circuits, signals, switches, etc. installed along the tracks of the train operating section to a central traffic control center. CT
The information is transmitted using a transmission device such as C device, and the position and operating status of each train is monitored based on this information. Further, the system is configured to generate control commands for the signals, switches, etc. from the operation control center in accordance with the monitored operation status of each train. That is, conventionally, the track circuit within the operating section was determined as a result of the train running.

The status of ground equipment such as signals and switches changes, and this change information is collected to determine and manage the operating status of each train.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, for example, when a train enters the track circuit and the state of the track circuit changes, the track circuit length is 1 km to 2 km.
Since there are about 100,000 yen, it is not possible to determine whether a train is running at that point in the track circuit. Furthermore, the operation status of on-vehicle equipment such as brakes and notches cannot be known from the ground side. As described above, with the conventional configuration, it was not possible to accurately grasp the actual location and operating status of the train.

For this reason, for example, there have been problems in that it takes time to reschedule or change the timetable when the timetable is disrupted.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and aims to improve the accuracy of train operation monitoring by enabling direct information transmission between the on-board and ground-side central control centers, and improves the accuracy of train operation monitoring, processing timetable changes, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a train operation monitoring device that can easily perform the following operations.

<Means for Solving the Problems> For this reason, the present invention provides an input unit for inputting operation information specific to each train, a storage unit for storing route data of the operation section in which the train runs, and a Based on the information unique to each train inputted by the train, the route data stored in the storage section, the mileage information from the train mileage measuring means installed on the train, and the operation information of various onboard equipment installed on the train, A train management device equipped with a determination unit that determines the location and operation status of the train is installed on the train, and a train radio transmitter/receiver installed in the train is used to communicate with the train management device and each train running in the operation section. The system is configured to send and receive information to and from the ground-side central operation control system, which centrally controls the operation of the train.

<Operation> In this configuration, the unique information of each train is read through the input section from a card or the like carried by the crew member on which operation information unique to each train is written. When the train starts running, the read operation information specific to the train is read.

Based on the route data stored in the storage unit, mileage information from the train mileage measuring means installed on the train, and operation information of various onboard equipment such as the destination subtitle setting device, brake, and door opening/closing device installed on the train. The position and operating status of the train are determined by the determination unit of the train management device. Then, this judgment information is transmitted directly from the train to a centralized operation control device installed in the operation control center on the ground side using the train radio transmitter/receiver.

As a result, the location and operation status of each train can be grasped in real time at the operation control center, and processes such as changes in timetables can be performed quickly and easily.

<Example> Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, which shows an outline of the system configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, a train management device 2 is installed on the train 1 side, which determines the current position and operation status of the train 1 based on various information that will be described later. ing. The train management device 2 receives information from, for example, an IC card carried by a crew member aboard the train 1.
Destination 2 train type (limited express, express, etc.) 2 train number, starting station,
Station on the way.

An input interface 3 as an input unit for inputting operation information specific to the train 1 such as a stop station 1 passing station, terminal station, arrival/departure time, etc., and an input interface 3 for storing the operation information input from the input interface 3. , a memory 4 as a storage section in which route data of the operating section in which the train I runs, such as distance between stations, gradient, level crossing position, platform length, stop number, etc., is stored in advance; Train 1 based on the specific information of the train, the route data, mileage information measured based on the signal from the speed generator 6 as a train mileage measuring means, and operation information of various onboard equipment 7 mounted on the train. A CPU 5 is provided as a determination unit that determines the current position and operation status of the vehicle.

Here, the various in-vehicle devices include, for example, a door opening/closing device, a notch, a brake, a destination subtitle setting device, and the like.

The information determined by the C'PU 5 is transferred from the train radio transmitting/receiving device 8 conventionally provided in the train 1 to the ground operation control center 10 that centrally controls the operation of each train running in the operation section. train radio transmitter/receiver device 11
The information is transmitted to the central control unit 12 with a built-in computer, and the position and operation status of each train is displayed on the operation display panel 13. The operation control center 10 also transmits appropriate operation instructions to each train depending on the operation status of each train.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When the train 1 starts running, measurement of the distance traveled is started based on a signal from the speed generator 6, and based on this measurement value and various information stored in the memory 4, the current position of the train 1, Direction of travel, speed.

The CPU 5 determines the destination, delay time, etc., and the operation information of the train 1 obtained from the determination result is transmitted to the operation control center 10 via the train radio transmitting/receiving device 8. On the operation control center 10 side, the information transmitted from each train is taken into the central control unit 12 via the train radio transmitting/receiving device 11, and the operation status of each train is displayed on the operation display board 13.

In addition, it is possible to easily and quickly change the train schedule when the train schedule is disrupted due to the occurrence of an accident within the operating section, failure of ground equipment, or system failure of the central control unit 12 that manages the operation of each train. become able to.

That is, when the timetable is disrupted due to an accident or breakdown within the operating section, the operation control center 10 changes the timetable of each train and reschedules the train schedule. In this case, is it necessary to input data regarding the current operating status of each train in place of the normal timetable information input to the central control device 12? Since the information is directly transmitted to the traffic control center 5-10, data collection can be performed more easily and in a shorter time than in the past, making it easier to reschedule traffic due to timetable changes. .

Even if the schedule is disrupted due to a system failure of the central control unit 12, when starting up the computer after repair,
Is it necessary to input data regarding the current operating status of each train, whose status is changing from moment to moment? Since such data is transmitted directly from each train in real time, inputting the data can be done easily and in a short time. This will make it easier to reschedule operations when there is a disruption to the schedule.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, the position and operating status of each train is directly transmitted to the central operation control device that centrally controls the operation of each train without going through ground equipment. Because of the configuration, real-time operation management can be improved.

In addition, processing when changing timetables and timetable rescheduling work can be simplified. Furthermore, it is possible to effectively utilize existing train radio equipment, which has heretofore been used mainly only in emergencies.
