Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a train operation management device for monitoring, for example, whether or not a train is operating according to an operation schedule, and in particular, a history of rescheduling performed when the operation schedule is significantly disturbed. The present invention relates to a train driving support device that stores and holds the information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a railway company or the like, a train operation management device composed of a computer or the like is installed in a large terminal or monitoring center in order to ensure smooth train operation and ensure safety.

Information about the status of each track and the position of each train located on each track is input from each station and each signal station to this train operation management device. Further, the train schedule of each train is stored in the train service management device. Then, it constantly monitors whether or not each train is operating according to the schedule. When the operation status of the train deviates from the allowable time range with respect to the operation schedule, the operation manager is notified by, for example, an alarm lamp or an alarm buzzer.
The operation manager who knows the warning notifies the train or the station through which the train passes of the train delay information and causes the train schedule to be restored.

However, if it is difficult to restore the operating timetable by increasing the speed of the train due to a vehicle failure, a railroad crossing accident, or the like, operation rescheduling is performed. This rescheduling is to change the train operation to a different operation from the original schedule. An example of the traffic rescheduling method will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and (b) and FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b).

FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) show an arrangement method of [order change]. In the initial train schedule, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), for example, the express train C2 overtakes the ordinary train C2 waiting for the stop at the A station. However, when the express train C2 coming from far away is greatly delayed, the ordinary train C2 is started at the station A without waiting for the express train C2, as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

Further, FIGS. 7A and 7B show a method of organizing [operation change]. Figure 7 shows the initial service schedule
As shown in (a), the ordinary train C1 turns back at station B to become another ordinary train C4. In addition, the express train C2 immediately turns back at station B to become another express train C3. However, if the express train C2 arrives late, it will be too late for the departure time of another express train C3. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the ordinary train C1 arriving at the B station first turns back as another express train C3, and the ordinary train C2 arriving later arrives later. Converted to C4.

In this way, by carrying out the traffic rescheduling of [operation change], each train C3, C4 departing from the B station
Can be operated according to the original schedule. That is, the service schedule is restored.

[0008] Then, the operation manager drafts the above-mentioned train rescheduling, and sends a train change command to each train based on the train rescheduling to the corresponding train and each related station via the train operation management device. Therefore, after that, the train is operated with the train schedule and vehicle operation.

[0009]

However, the train operation management device described above also has the following problems to be solved.

That is, the above-mentioned traffic rescheduling is not executed at all when each train is operating according to the operation schedule, but is executed only when an abnormality occurs. Therefore, normally, the history of this irregular work content is not left behind. Therefore, if a similar situation occurs, the train operation manager needs to consider the best train rescheduling while looking at the cause of the train delay and the current train operation.

However, when the train is approaching the station, it is necessary to determine the contents of the traffic rescheduling in a short time and instruct the train and the station, but the contents of the traffic rescheduling are determined in a short time. To do this, you must be familiar with this task. Even if the person is familiar with this work, it is difficult to obtain the optimal train schedule in a short time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the operation manager stores the operation rescheduling contents performed by the operation manager for the train operation management device in association with each other, so that the operation manager can An object of the present invention is to provide a train operation support device capable of learning about each case and being able to perform the best train rescheduling accurately and in a short time against a newly generated disturbance in train operation.

[0013]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention monitors the operation status of each train and operates according to operation rescheduling information sequentially input by an external operation when the train operation is disturbed. In the train operation support device that supports the train operation management device that sends a change command and restores the timetable of each train,

[0014] An interface for fetching each rescheduling information sequentially input to the train operation management device, a rescheduling information editing means for associating each rescheduling information fetched via the interface with each other, and a rescheduling information And a database for chronologically storing each operation rescheduling information edited by the editing means.

According to another aspect of the invention, in addition to the above-described means, the train operation status is input to the interface in addition to the above-mentioned operation control information, and in response to an external operation, the operation is performed via the interface. Data correction means for adding abnormal information, which is a cause of the traffic rescheduling information, to the traffic rescheduling information stored in the database, based on the taken train operation status.

In still another aspect of the invention, in addition to the means of the invention described above, a data read-out means for reading out the operation rescheduling information and abnormality information stored in the database, and an operation rescheduling read by the data reading means. And output means for outputting the information and the abnormality information.

[0017]

With the train operation support device configured as described above, each piece of operation rescheduling information sequentially input to the train operation management device by the train operation manager is stored in each train operation management device within the train operation management device. It is sent to each station as an operation change command and taken into the interface as it is. Then, the traffic rescheduling information editing means associates the traffic rescheduling information sequentially input to the interface with each other and stores them in the next database. Therefore, a large number of traffic rescheduling information are associated with each other and stored in time series in the database.

In addition, in the train operation support device of another invention, the interface also takes in the train operation status in addition to the operation control information. Then, in the database, in addition to the above-mentioned traffic rescheduling information, abnormality information that causes the traffic rescheduling information is also stored at the same time. Therefore, by observing these pieces of information as a set, it is possible to more easily determine the content of the operation rescheduling corresponding to the abnormal situation that has occurred thereafter.
Furthermore, in another invention, each operation rescheduling information and abnormality information stored in the database can be read and output.

In addition, the operation manager 4 performs the above-mentioned rescheduling when the warning of the train delay is difficult to restore the operation timetable by increasing the speed of the train due to a train failure or a railroad crossing accident. . Specifically, a plurality of traffic control information indicating the content of traffic control is input to the train operation management device 1 via the input device 3.

The operation management unit main body 2 of the train operation management device 1 sends a new operation change command to the train to be rearranged and the target station on the basis of the plurality of pieces of input traffic rescheduling information. As a result, after that, each train is operated with the train schedule and vehicle operation. Therefore, the diamond is restored. Here, a plurality of traffic rescheduling information indicating the details of traffic rescheduling input by the operation manager 4 to the input device 3 is transferred to the train operation support device 5.

The train driving support device 5 is roughly divided into an interface 6, a traffic rescheduling information editing unit 7, a database 8, an input device 9 including a man-machine device, and a data correcting unit 10.

In the database 8, as shown in FIG. 2, n pieces of traffic rescheduling information area for storing timetable rescheduling information consisting of 7 items each showing the contents of the corresponding traffic rescheduling for each traffic rescheduling. 8a and an abnormality information area 8b that stores abnormality information that causes the rescheduling of the operation. The abnormality information area 8b stores, for example, the accident number id, the date and time of the accident, the place of the accident, the contents of the accident such as a vehicle failure and a railroad crossing accident.

Now, a plurality of traffic control information indicating the content of traffic control input from the train operation management device 1 is input to the traffic control information editing unit 7 via the interface 6. Further, the operation status of each train is input to the interface 6 from the outside.

The traffic rescheduling information editing unit 7 classifies and reorganizes the traffic rescheduling information indicating the contents of each traffic rescheduling sequentially input from the train operation management device 1 into the seven items shown below. For example, as traffic line arrangement information for accident A, 1 [data number] ..... a number indicating how many times the traffic arrangement was executed for accident A 2 [method] .......... 3 [Time] …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… » … Train name (train number) that performed rescheduling 6 [Train position] ………… Target train position when operation manager 4 rescheduled 7 [Previous data]… Implemented one before A pointer indicating the data of the rescheduled train rescheduled, and the rescheduled train rescheduling information of each train rescheduled is sequentially stored in each train rescheduling information area 8a of the database 8 shown in FIG.

For example, when the rescheduling of the [order change] method shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B is performed at time T1, the operation rescheduling of the [order change] method is performed as shown in FIG.
As shown in, 1 [data number] ………… 0 2 [method] ……………… order change 3 [time] ……………… T1 4 [target station] ………… A station 5 [Target train] ………… C1, C2 6 [Train position] ………… The position of each train existing in the range monitored by the train operation management device 1 at time T1 7 [one before Data] ... becomes null (undefined).

Further, at the time T2, operation rescheduling of the [operation change] method shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B is performed after operation rescheduling of the [order change] method shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. if you did this,
For operation rescheduling of this [operation change] method, as shown in FIG. 4, 1 [data number] ………… 1 2 [method] ……………… Operation change 3 [time] ………… ...... T2 4 [Target station] ………… B station 5 [Target train] ………… C1, C2, C3, C4 6 [Train position] ………… Train operation management device 1 at time T2 The position of each train existing in the range monitored by is 7 [previous data] ... 0.

That is, it is possible to ascertain the operation rescheduling information, that is, the order of each operation rescheduling from the time of the accident, by using the data number of one item and the data number of one item before the seven items in each operation rescheduling information area 8a.

Next, the operation of the data correction unit 10 will be described.
This data correction unit 10 allows the operation manager 4 to add, delete, or change each operation rescheduling information set in each operation rescheduling information area 8a of the data base 8 via the input device 9 which is a man-machine device. It is for implementation.

That is, the train operation manager 4 obtains various train rescheduling information relating to the train rescheduling described above from the train operation management device 1
In addition to inputting into the input device 3 of, the accident number id, accident date and time, accident location, vehicle failure, railroad crossing accident, etc. shown in FIG. The content of the accident is applied to the input device 9 of the train driving support device 5. Then, the data correction unit 10 is activated, and the abnormality information is stored in the abnormality information area 8b of the database 8.

In the train operation support device thus configured, the detailed information of each train arrangement executed by the operation manager 4 for the train operation management device 1 is mutually stored in the database 8 of the train operation gastritis device 5. They are associated and stored in time series. Therefore, it can be reproduced at a later date to create a re-measure manual in the event of an abnormality, or can be used as a reference material for the next timetable revision.

Further. Since the database 8 also stores abnormal information such as vehicle breakdowns and level crossing accidents that led to the rescheduling, the accident situation and the rescheduling can be associated and grasped.
