Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle operation management control device used for operation management of various vehicles, and particularly to a scheduled departure time (hereinafter referred to as an operation timetable) in an operation plan and an actual vehicle operation. The present invention relates to a vehicle operation management control device that appropriately recovers a delay time that is a difference from a departure time and operates a vehicle as planned.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, various trains run according to an operation schedule and stop at each station at a predetermined scheduled time. However, due to various causes, there is a delay in the operation plan between trains, that is, trains. There is a delay time that is the time difference between the operating timetable and the actual travel time of the train. Therefore, conventionally, in order to recover such delay time, the following two delay recovery methods have been considered.

[0003] One of them is to adjust the time required to reduce the stop time by an amount commensurate with the delay time at the departure station (stop station) to determine the required travel time between the departure station and the next arrival station. It is a strict adherence method, and the other method is to increase the traveling speed between stations based on the intuition of the train driver and recover it until the arrival at the next arrival station or a plurality of arrival stations after the next arrival station. .

[0004]

However, the former method of adjusting the stop time at the stop station shortens the stop time of the delayed train, so that the passengers can get on and off more than necessary. In connection with this, there is a problem that the service of passengers is deteriorated and an accident such as passengers being caught in a door is caused.

On the other hand, the latter method of adjusting the running time between stations based on the driver's intuition imposes an unreasonable driving operation on the driver or, in the case of an inexperienced driver, adversely affects the riding comfort. In addition, the probability that an accident will occur becomes extremely high, and there are many problems in terms of labor, security, and passenger service.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and there is no problem in terms of labor, security, and service of passengers without depending on the skill of a driver, and the vehicle is the next arrival station or the next station. It aims to provide a highly reliable vehicle operation management control device that ensures delays and early departure times before arriving at multiple arrival stations and realizes vehicle operation as planned. .

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claims 1 and 3 has a scheduled start time immediately before or after a departure from a departure station and a predetermined departure time in a vehicle operation plan. In addition to the delay / early departure time calculation means for calculating the delay / early departure time which is the difference from the actual departure time of the vehicle,
A plurality of expected delay / early departure setting time / minute data is set, and the plurality of delay / early departure setting time / minute data and the delay / early departure time / minute calculated by the delay / early departure time / minute calculating means are set. Based on the above, a means for calculating the first powering time after departure from the departure station is provided, and the powering operation of the vehicle is performed based on the powering time calculated by this powering time calculation means to delay or early start the vehicle. This is a vehicle operation management control device for recovery.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 provides a delay / early departure time / minute calculation means of the invention according to claim 1 as well as a delay / early departure time / minute calculation means newly added. When the early departure time exceeds the preset maximum delay / early departure time, a station-to-station allocation means is provided to distribute the actual delay / early departure time to the required times between multiple stations. The vehicle operation management control device is provided with a powering time calculating means for calculating the first powering time after departure from the departure station based on the delay / early departure time distributed by the space distribution means.

[0009]

Therefore, according to the inventions corresponding to claims 1 and 3, by taking the means as described above, the difference between the scheduled departure time predetermined in the driving plan of the vehicle and the actual departure time of the vehicle is determined. A certain delay / early departure time is calculated immediately before or after the departure of the departure station, and the powering time immediately after departure of the vehicle is calculated based on this delay / early departure time. Then, the power running operation of the vehicle is performed based on this power running time, and the notch is turned off after the power running time elapses, thereby completely correcting the delay / early departure time before the vehicle arrives at the next arrival station. Can be operated as planned.

Next, the inventions corresponding to claims 2 and 3 are provided so that when the delay / early departure time of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined delay / early departure time, a plurality of vehicles are provided so that optimal driving can be performed. It is allocated to the required time between stations, the power running time immediately after departure of the vehicle is calculated based on the allocated delay / early departure time, and the power running operation of the vehicle is performed based on the power running time, and the power running time is calculated. By notching off after the lapse of time, it is possible to carry out safe driving regardless of the size of the delay / early departure time and to recover the delay / early departure time.
