Below the title bar 17a, there is a time display area 17c in which a time scale is displayed. Below the time display area 17c, there is a timetable display area 17e in which a train timetable is displayed. There is a station name display area 17d on the left side of the diagram display area 17e, and the station name is displayed. Further, on the right side of the diamond display area 17e, a vertical scroll bar 1
7f, and a horizontal scroll bar 17g is displayed below.

A title bar 19a, a resize button 19b, and a time display area 19c are displayed in the operation sequence table window 15b in the same manner as the train timetable window 15a. Each small area of the number display area 19d, the operation line display area 19e, the traveling mileage display area 19f, and the vertical scroll bar 19g is arranged and displayed.

The time scales displayed in the time display areas 17c and 19c can be displayed only for 24 hours or any time zone, for example, in the morning, during the commuting time zone of 7:00 to 9:00. In FIG. 5, the time range from 7:00 to 16:00 is displayed. As the station name displayed in the station name display area 17d, only the set main station name is displayed in the standard state, but the station name can be rewritten such as deleted or added. In FIG. 5, the names of the four main stations of the Toyohashi-Ogaki line ward are displayed. From this state, for example, rewriting such as adding Gifu between Nagoya and Ogaki or deleting Nagoya can be performed.

The train schedule is displayed as a set of train lines 21, which is represented by a straight line connecting two coordinate points defined by the starting station and its departure time, and the ending station and its arrival time for the operation of one train. It For example, train line 21a is departing from Toyohashi 8:
The operation number assigned to one train is displayed in the operation number display area 19d at the left end of the operation sequence table window 15b representing the operation of the train from 00 to Ogaki 9:00. Operation line display area 19e on the right side of the work number display area 19d
In the figure, a horizontal straight operation line 23 having the start time and the end time as the coordinates of the end points is displayed corresponding to each starting work number. "Toyo" marked at the end of this operation line 23,
Characters such as “gaki” are abbreviations of station names. For example, “Toyo” represents Toyohashi and “gaki” represents Ogaki. Further, above the operation line 23, a train number given for each individual train operation is written. The work number is a symbol attached to a series of train operations represented by a group of operation lines connected to the right side thereof, and a series of train operation units represented by one work number is called a work group.

In the running km display area 19f, the running km for each work group is displayed. The distance traveled is the distance traveled when passengers are carried, and the distance traveled by non-business operations such as forwarding is not added. As for the operation sequence table, for example, the train with the work number 281 is operated as the train with the train number 4123M departing from Toyohashi at 8:00 and arriving at Ogaki at 9:00.
Next, train number 11 from Ogaki 9:20 and Toyohashi 10:20
It is operated as 22M, and further operated as train number 1129M departing from Toyohashi at 10:40 and Ogaki 11:40, and this operating unit is the 281 working group.

The display in the train timetable window 15a and the operation sequence table window 15b shows, for example, the train line 21a and the operation line 23a are both train number 4123M and departure from Toyohashi 8:00 to Ogaki 9:00.
The train stripe 21 of the train schedule window 15a and the operation line 23 of the operation sequence table window 15b are paired with each other.

Now, return to the description of the main routine. CP
When starting the main routine, the U1a first performs the display routine processing shown in FIG. 4 (step 100). In the display routine process, the CPU 1a extracts desired train operation data from the external storage device 9, reads it, and stores it in the RAM.
It is stored in 1c (step 110). Then, the read train operation data is converted into display data, and the train schedule is displayed in the train schedule window 15a (step 120). Similarly, the operation order table is displayed in the operation order table window (step 130). However, in the initial state, since the link state is not added, the operation sequence table displays only the time scale and the frame, and the work number and the operation line 19 are not displayed. The display screen 15 in this initial state is shown in FIG.

When the above processing is executed, the process returns to "return" and the present subroutine ends. When the processing of the above display routine is completed, there is a state of waiting for input (step 150). When an input for instructing the link state is made from the mouse 3 in this state, the CPU 1a detects the position of the cursor, and depending on whether the cursor is in the train schedule window 15a or the operation sequence table window 15b, the train schedule or It is determined which of the operation order tables is the display change target (step 160), and the CRT 11 is instructed to display the link state according to the input (step 170 or step 200). When the line diagram to be changed in display is displayed according to the instruction (step 180).
Or step 210), the corresponding line diagram display is
The link status is changed according to the input (step 190).
Or step 220).

The case where the cursor is on the train schedule window 15a or the operation sequence table window 15b will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively. First,
When the cursor is in the train schedule window 15a and the train schedule is to be displayed, the pair of train stripes is selected by operating the cursor and the link state is input (steps 150 and 160).

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 6, when the train lines 25a and 25b are selected in the train diagram window 15a and the links between them are designated (step 170),
The connecting line 27a is displayed at the train schedule window 15a so as to connect the end points of both train lines at Ogaki, which is the arrival station of the train line 25a and the departure station of the train line 25b (step 180), and links the two. Represents. Then, the operation lines 29a and 2 corresponding to the train lines 25a and 25b
9b is displayed on the operation sequence table window 15b (step 190).

In the state shown in FIG. 5, the train lines 21a and 21b are selected in the train diagram window 15a,
When both parties are instructed to cancel the link (step 170),
The connecting line 31a is erased (step 180), and represents the state where there is no link. Next, the operation sequence table window 15
In b, since there is no link partner and no operating group to belong to, the operation line 23a is deleted (step 19).
0).

Alternatively, when the train lines 21c and 21d are selected and the link is instructed (step 170), the connecting line 3 which links the train line 21d and the train line 21e.
1b is erased, and train stripes 21c and 21d are newly added.
A connecting line 31c connecting the lines is displayed (step 180),
The links of the train lines 21c and 21d are shown. And
In the operation sequence table window, operation line 23 with work number 283
d is deleted, and the operation line 23e of the train number 4134M is displayed on the work number 281 (step 190).

Next, the cursor is the operation sequence table window 1
5b and the operation sequence table is subject to display change,
One or more operation lines are selected by operating the cursor, and the link status is input (steps 150, 1).
60). For example, in the state of FIG. 5, when the operation lines 23a and 23b are selected in the operation sequence table window 15b and the link cancellation of both is instructed (step 200), there is no link partner and they are removed from the work group. 23
a is erased (step 210). Subsequently, in the train schedule window 15a, the connecting line 31a is deleted (step 220), and the train lines 21a and 21b have no link.

Alternatively, the operation line 23d with the work number 283
Is selected and the movement number is instructed to move (step 200), the operation line 23d of the operation number 283 is deleted, and the operation line 23 of the train number 4134M is added to the operation number 281.
e is displayed (step 210). In the train timetable window 15a, the connecting line 31b is deleted,
New connecting line 3 connecting train lines 21c and 21d
1c is displayed (step 220), which represents a link between train lines 21c and 21d. In this case, multiple operational lines 2
3, for example, the operation lines 23f and 23g can be moved from the work number 283 to the work number 282 at the same time. Further, not only the movement to the blank portion but also the movement to exchange each other is possible. Even in the case of such movement of the operation line 23, the link state of the train line 21 corresponding to the movement is displayed in the train schedule window 15a.

Further, the double train lines indicated by train lines 21f and 21g and 21h and 21i are
It represents a merger of trains that connects two trains and operates as one train. The merging of formations is not limited to merging of two formations, and merging of three or more formations is also made. In either case, train streaks of the number of merged trains are displayed. For example, 4122M (F) is assigned to the operation line corresponding to this formation merger.
Display indicating that it will be operated as the front part of the M train, 1125
It is described that the formation / merging is displayed, assuming that it is operated as the rear part of the 1125M train like the M (R). There is a case where the formation and consolidation are done between the first and last stations, or only a part of them. For example, in a train of Ogaki-Toyohashi, there may be a case where two trains are merged between Ogaki-Nagoya and one train runs between Nagoya-Toyohashi. The instruction to merge or cancel the composition is included in the instruction of the link state.

When the operating line of each operating group is rewritten, the traveling km of each operating group displayed in the traveling km display area 19f is rewritten accordingly. Also, train stripes,
It is possible to display the train number and work number along the connecting line, or not to display them.

It is to be noted that, together with the link status instruction, the display time area may be changed or a certain area may be enlarged and displayed.
It is also possible to scroll the train schedule horizontally in the time axis direction or vertically in the distance axis direction or to vertically scroll the operation sequence table by clicking the arrow on the scroll bar with the mouse cursor to instruct scrolling.
In these cases as well, except for the enlarged display, the processing in one window 15a or 15b is reflected in the other.

When the link status is displayed in this way,
Next, it is instructed whether or not it is necessary to print the state as a drawing or a form (step 230). If printing is required, one or a plurality of types are specified from the train schedule, the operation sequence table, or other forms, and the printing instruction is input (step 230). Upon receiving the input, the CPU 1a converts the train data to which the above-mentioned link state is added into print data, and outputs it to the printer 13 together with a print instruction (step 24).
0, 250 or 260). If printing is unnecessary, proceed to the next step.

In the next step, it is instructed whether or not the train data to which the link state is added needs to be stored (step 27).
0). If data saving is required, a data saving instruction is input (step 270), and the CPU 1a writes the floppy disk stored in the external storage device 9 or the floppy disk driver 7 in response to the input of the data saving instruction. Data is stored (step 280).
If the storage process is completed or data storage is not necessary, the system waits again in the input waiting state (step 150).

As described above, in the diagram drawing apparatus for formulating the vehicle operation plan of this embodiment, the train schedule is displayed in the train schedule window and the management schedule is displayed in the management schedule window. If a pair of train lines is selected from the displayed train schedule and the link state is indicated, the link state of the train line is changed and the link state of the corresponding operation line is also changed according to the instruction, and the operation state is changed. If you select an operation line from the sequence table and indicate the link status of that operation line,
Along with the change of the link state of the operation line, the link state of the corresponding train line is also changed according to the instruction. For this reason, the train schedules displayed in multiple display areas and the operation sequence table are constantly compared, and if necessary, the traveled kilometers are referenced, and links on the display screen are taken into consideration while considering the operational balance between multiple trains. It is possible to rewrite the state and draw a diagram showing a vehicle operation plan that is considered to be as efficient as possible.

Further, the data of the line drawing drawn by performing such rewriting can be stored in a storage device and taken out at any time, or can be converted into print data and printed as a line drawing or forms. Further, since it is possible to change and display the link state only by instructing the displayed train streak or operating line by the instructing means, it is easy to create a large number of diagrams. Therefore, it is possible to easily prepare a plurality of sets of data for formulating a vehicle operation plan including a train schedule, an operation order table, and forms, and to compare and compare them. Moreover, no special skill is required for the work.

In addition to the train lines, tie lines, and operation lines, it is possible to write and erase symbols and characters that represent vehicle inspection, cleaning, forwarding, evacuation, etc. in the train schedule and operation sequence table. is there. With the above, the description of the first embodiment is completed, and then the second embodiment will be described. (Embodiment 2) Embodiment 2 is a preferred embodiment of the invention described in claim 2. The configuration of the diagram drawing apparatus for formulating a vehicle operation plan of the second embodiment is the same as the apparatus configuration of the first embodiment (FIG. 2), so the description of the apparatus configuration will be omitted and the operation of the apparatus will be described.

The CPU 1a of the electronic control unit 1 is the mouse 3
Alternatively, upon receiving a start instruction input via the keyboard 5, the processing of the main routine shown in FIG. 7 is executed. Before explaining the main routine processing, the CRT1
9 shows an example of a display state of the display screen 55 of No. 1 in FIG.
Will be described.

The display screen 55 is divided into a first train diagram window 55a and a second train diagram window 55b as in the first embodiment, and each window is further divided into small areas. The arrangement of the small areas is the same as the train schedule window 15a in the first embodiment, but the train schedules are displayed at different scales in the schedule display areas 57e and 58e of the first and second train schedule windows 55a and 55b. There is.

The time scale can be displayed only for 24 hours or for an arbitrary time range, for example, in the morning, during the commuting time zone of 7:00 to 9:00. In FIG. 9, the time zone from 8:00 to 14:00 is displayed in the first train diagram window 55a, and the second train diagram window 55b shows from 8:00 to 9:00 in the first train diagram window 55a. The portion corresponding to the time range is enlarged and displayed in the time axis direction, but in addition to this, enlargement in the distance axis direction, equal extension in the time axis direction and distance axis direction, or equal direction, unequal direction Can also be reduced.

Station name display area 5 of windows 55a and 55b
The station name of the display target line section is displayed in 7d and 58d.
Data such as the arrangement order along the railroad lines of each station and the station names that form one line section are stored in the external storage device 9 as part of the train operation data. As for the station name display, only the set main station name is displayed in the standard state, but rewriting such as deletion or addition of the station name is possible. In Figure 9, Toyohashi ~
The names of the four major stations in the Ogaki Line Ward are displayed. From this state, for example, rewriting such as adding Gifu between Nagoya and Ogaki or deleting Nagoya can be performed. Further, the train schedule is displayed as a set of train lines 59, as in the first embodiment.

Now, the description returns to the main routine (FIG. 7). When starting the main routine, the CPU 1a first performs the display routine process shown in FIG. 8 (step 30).
0). In the display routine process, the CPU 1a extracts desired train operation data from the external storage device 9, reads it, and stores it in the RAM 1c (step 310). Then, convert the read train operation data into display data,
The train schedule is displayed on the first train schedule window 55a at the designated scale (step 320). Similarly,
The train schedule is displayed at the designated scale in the second train schedule window 55b (step 330).

When the above processing is executed, the process returns to "return" and the present subroutine ends. When the processing of the above-mentioned display routine is completed, there is a state of waiting for input (step 350). In this state, when an input for instructing the link state is made from the mouse 3, the CPU 1a detects the position of the cursor and the cursor moves to the first train diagram window 55a.
Alternatively, it is determined which of the second train schedule windows 55b is the display change target depending on which of the second train schedule windows 55b is present (step 360), and the CRT 11 is instructed to display the link state according to the input (step). Three
70, 400). When the display of the train schedule of which the display is to be changed is performed according to the instruction (steps 380 and 410), the display of another train schedule window is changed to the link state according to the input (steps 390 and 420).

Referring to FIG. 9, the cursor is the first train schedule window 55a or the second train schedule window 5
5b will be described respectively. First, when the cursor is in the second train schedule window 55b and the train schedule is the subject of display change, a pair of train stripes is selected by operating the cursor, and its link state is input (step 350).

For example, in the state of FIG. 9, when the train stripes 59a and 59b are selected in the second train diagram window 55b and the links between them are designated (step 40).
0), the connecting line 61a is displayed in the second train diagram window 55b so as to connect both train lines at Ogaki, which is the arrival station of the train line 59a and the departure station of the train line 59b (step 410), Shows both links. continue,
The link state is added to the train lines 59c and 59d of the first train diamond window 55a corresponding to the train lines 59a and 59b, and the connecting line 61b is displayed (step 42).
0).

If the train lines 59e and 59f are selected in the second train schedule window 55b and the link cancellation is indicated (step 400), the train lines 59e and 59e are displayed.
The connecting line 61c connecting 59f is erased (step 410). Then, the train lines 59 of the first train diamond window 55a corresponding to the train lines 59e and 59f.
The links g and 59h are released and the connecting line 61d is erased (step 420).

Alternatively, the second train schedule window 55b
If the train lines 59a and 59f are selected with and the link is designated (step 400), the link between the train lines 59e and 59f is released, the connecting line 61c is deleted, and the link between the train lines 59a and 59f is newly displayed. The tie line 61e is displayed (step 410). Then, the corresponding train lines 59g, 59h on the first train diamond window 55a.
The link 6 is released, the connecting line 61d is deleted, and the connecting line 6 representing the links of the train lines 59e and 59h is newly added.
1f is displayed (step 420).

Move the cursor to the first train schedule window 55
If the same operation as described above is carried out while holding in a, the corresponding link state is added and displayed on the corresponding train stripe in the second train diagram window 55b. It is also possible to enlarge and display a certain area together with the link state instruction, and scroll the screen in the time axis direction, that is, left and right or in the distance axis direction, that is, up and down. Further, the instruction of the composition merging or the cancellation display thereof is included in the instruction of the link state as in the first embodiment.

When the link status is displayed in this way,
Next, it is instructed whether or not it is necessary to print the figure or the form in that state (step 430). If you need to print
One or a plurality of types are designated from the train schedule, the operation order table, or other forms, and a print instruction is input (step 430). Upon receiving the input, the CPU 1a converts the train data to which the above-mentioned link state is added into print data and outputs it to the printer 13 together with a print instruction (step 440,
450 or 460). If printing is unnecessary, proceed to the next step.

In the next step, it is instructed whether or not the train data to which the link state is added needs to be stored (step 47).
0). If data saving is required, a data saving instruction is input (step 470), and the CPU 1a writes the floppy disk stored in the external storage device 9 or the floppy disk driver 7 in response to the input of the data saving instruction. Data is stored (step 480).
If the storage process is completed or data storage is not necessary, the process proceeds to the next step.

In the next step, whether or not it is necessary to change the scale of each window is instructed (step 490). When it is necessary to change the scale and the scale is input (step 50
0), step 3 to display at the specified scale
Proceed to 20, 330 to change the display. If the display change process is completed or if the scale change is unnecessary, the process waits in the input waiting state again (step 350).

As described above, in the diagram drawing apparatus for formulating the vehicle operation plan of this embodiment, the train schedules of different scales are displayed in the first and second train schedule windows, respectively. If you select a pair of train lines from one of the displayed train schedules and indicate the link state, you can change the link state of those train lines and the other train schedule corresponding to the pair of train lines. The link state of the train stripe is also changed according to the instruction. For this reason, train timetables displayed at different scales in a plurality of display areas are constantly compared, and the whole and part of the train timetable, or a relatively long time part and a shorter time part, It is possible to rewrite the link status on the display screen while considering a well-balanced vehicle operation, and draw a diagram showing the vehicle operation plan that is considered to be as efficient as possible.

Further, the data of the line drawing drawn by performing such rewriting can be stored in the storage device and taken out at any time, or can be converted into print data and printed as a line drawing or forms. Further, since it is possible to change and display the link state only by instructing the displayed train streak by the instructing means, it becomes easy to create a large number of diagrams. Therefore, it is possible to easily prepare a plurality of sets of data for formulating a vehicle operation plan including a train schedule, an operation order table, and forms, and to compare and compare them. Moreover, no special skill is required for the work.

Programs for performing various processes according to a predetermined procedure are stored in advance. The external storage device 77 stores trains such as the arrangement order of stations, distances between stations, station names belonging to each line section, departure / arrival stations of operated trains, transit stations, departure / arrival times at each station, and train types such as limited express / express trains. The data is stored.

Next, the operation of this device will be described. The CPU 70a of the electronic control unit 70 receives the activation instruction input via the mouse 71 or the keyboard 73, and
The processing of the main routine shown in is executed.

When the CPU 70a starts the main routine, it first executes the display routine process shown in FIG. 12 (step 1000). In the display routine process, the CPU 7
0a extracts desired train data from the external storage device 77, reads it, and stores it in the RAM 70c (step 1010). Then, the read train data is transmitted to the first terminal 800 and the second terminal 900 together with the output instruction (step 1020). When the above processing is executed, the process returns to "return" and the present subroutine ends.

Next, when there is an input waiting state and there is an input for rewriting the link state (step 1100), the link state corresponding to this is instructed to both terminals 800 and 900 (step 1200). Input may be made from the mouse 71 or keyboard 73 of the workstation 700, or the mouse 81 or 9 of the first terminal 800 or the second terminal 900.

Similar to the second embodiment, the screen of RT99 is divided into upper and lower windows of a medium time area diamond window 107a and a short time area diamond window 107b, which are further divided into a plurality of small areas (FIG. 15). .. The same display as in the first and second embodiments is displayed in each window and each small area. The train operation data that is the basis of these displays is common, and both terminals 80 are used even when the display is rewritten.
Since the same data is given to 0 and 900, both terminals 8
00 and 900 display the same data in different formats.

The 24-hour diamond window 105 in FIG.
a is a train schedule for a day (24 hours), a 24-hour operation sequence table window 105b is a schedule for a day (24 hours), and the middle-time schedule window 107a in FIG. 15 is a train. The timetable is in the morning, and the short-time range window 107b is a train timetable from 7:00 to 1
They are displayed in the time zone of 0:00. The display time range can be changed and various enlargements and reductions can be arbitrarily performed in the first and second embodiments.

A connecting line 121a for linking is displayed (steps 2210 to 2220).

Similarly, when an instruction of a link state such as cancellation of a link of a train line or movement of an operation line is input, the display of each window is rewritten. For example, the operation lines 115b and 115c in the 24-hour operation sequence table window 105b
Select and instruct to release these links, this will be executed and the 24-hour train timetable 1
In 05a, the connecting line 113b indicating the link between the train lines 111b and 111C is deleted, and in the medium time region diamond window 107a, the connecting line 119b connecting the train lines 117b and 117c is changed to the short time region diamond window 10.
At 7b, the connecting line 121b connecting the train lines 109b and 109c is deleted. Operation line 115c,
Move from work number 281 to 282, and operate line 115d
Also in this case, since the links of the operation lines 115b and 115c are similarly released, the connecting line connecting the corresponding train lines is deleted.
