2. Description of the Related Art Conventional flight schedule creating devices have widely used mountain schedules for planning flight schedules. As shown in the example of a bus in FIG. 5, a mountain diagram is a bus station arranged from the starting point to the ending point on the vertical axis based on the distance (or time distance) and the time axis on the horizontal axis. Line 51, line 52, which shows the operating status,
This represents the line 53. The intersection of these lines and each stop (for example, the intersection 54 of the corresponding horizontal axis of "B station square" and line 53) is the time when the bus arrives at that stop (intersection 5
4 represents 8:15). Conventionally, an operation timetable was manually created, but a method of automatically creating an operation timetable using a computer has been proposed.
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-272484 proposes a technique for automatically creating a bus schedule for a bus using an inference operation.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-272484, there is no specific description about the type of operation schedule to be created, let alone the point of creating a mountain schedule. Not disclosed. In many cases, no matter what type of service schedule is automatically created using a computer, it is not possible to apply the schedule as it is, and as a result of evaluating the schedule created by the person in charge, there are cases where it is desired to adjust the schedule. Come on. In such a case, the operation schedule created will be manually corrected, but no consideration has been given to the efficient operation of this correction.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an operation timetable creating apparatus capable of efficiently changing and correcting an operation timetable created.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an operation timetable creating apparatus in which a horizontal axis is a time axis and vertical axes are predetermined intervals, and operation timetables are displayed as mountain timetables. It is characterized by having done.

[0006] A storage means for storing time information related to each stop of the created timetable is provided,
The related time information corresponding to each stop is stored.
Here, the stop means a stop for a bus and a station for a train. The related time information is the time of a matter to be considered in determining the arrival and departure time of the stop. For example, if the stop is a station, it is the time of the bus departing / arriving from that station.

When the stop of the mountain schedule displayed on the display means is designated, the time information related to the designated stop is read from the storage means and the horizontal axis of the mountain schedule corresponding to the designated stop is displayed. The related time information is superimposed and displayed. As a display method, two digits indicating the minutes of the time may be displayed, or a mark may be displayed adjacent to the horizontal axis. Furthermore, the display state may be changed according to the type of related time information.

[0008]

[Operation] The operation timetable is displayed on the display means. Furthermore, when a boarding point on the displayed bus schedule (for example, a bus stop for a bus bus schedule) is specified by the input means, information regarding the specified boarding point is read from the storage means and displayed. By displaying the information about the stop on the operating timetable along with the vertical and horizontal axes of the operating timetable so that it can be identified by the mark, the operator can correct the timetable while looking at the mark, so data related to the operation It is possible to easily modify the operation schedule with reference to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A method for creating an operation timetable of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in the present embodiment, description will be made based on an example of creating an operation schedule of a route bus.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a hardware configuration for realizing the present invention. The input unit 1 is for inputting information from an operator, and a known input unit such as a keyboard or a mouse can be used. The control means 2 executes the timetable creation method of the present invention, has a CPU, and creates or corrects the operation timetable according to the input information. The control means 2 may be a known workstation, personal computer or the like. The work work area 3 is allocated on the temporary storage means included in the control means 2, and is used as a work area when the timetable creation according to the present embodiment is performed. The operation data file 4 stores the operation data created or modified by the control means 2 according to the input information. Stop data file 5,
This is a file for storing temporal distance data for each boarding / alighting point based on the starting point, which the control means 2 refers to when creating or modifying an operation timetable in accordance with the input information. The related data file 6 is a file newly provided in this embodiment, and stores data related to bus diagram creation described later. Each file 4-6
For example, a magnetic disk device or any recording device can be used. The display means 7 visually displays the bus diagram created by the control means 2, and is a CRT.
A display device or the like can be used. Note that FIG.
Although not shown in the figure, it goes without saying that an output device such as a printer and other computer peripheral devices may be provided.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the data structure of the operation data file 2. The system code 21 is a code for identifying the operating system of the bus. Generally, a route bus of a bus company has a plurality of operating systems, and a system code 21 is added to identify which operating system the created operating timetable belongs to. Each of the system codes 21 corresponds to a set of a departure point and an arrival point.
The route code 22 is an identification code in the operation system indicated by the system code 21. In this embodiment, the first train is 00
.. are identified by serial numbers. Here, the odd number indicates the outward route (in front of A station → C garage) and the even number indicates the return route (in front of C garage → A station front). Departure time 23
The arrival time 24 is the time to depart from the start point of the operation system identified by the system code 21, and the arrival time 24 is the time to reach the end point. For example, the sequence code A51 route code 001 is the start point (A
Depart from the station in front of the station at 6:45 and end at 7: 3 in front of the C garage.
It shows that it arrives at 5. Further, the route code 002 is a return route, which indicates that the starting point (in front of the garage of C) departs at 7:45 and arrives at the end point (in front of A station) at 8:35. Needless to say, how to determine these system codes and route codes and how to assign numbers are not limited to these.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the data structure of the bus stop data file 5. The system code 31 is for identifying the operating system, and here indicates that it is the stop data regarding the operating system of A51. The stop name 32 is a list of stops from the start point to the end point of the operation system in the order of operation. The section distance 33 indicates a temporal distance from the operation start point. Here, the time required to arrive at each stop is shown, and is calculated, for example, by the distance from the operation start point and the expected average speed. In this example, it takes about 50 minutes from the starting point in front of A station to the ending point in front of C garage. The section distance may be divided according to the bus operating time zone (for example, commuting time zone, early morning / midnight), but the description is omitted here.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the data structure of the related data file newly provided in this embodiment. The stop name 41 corresponds to the stop name 32 in the data stored in the stop data file 5, and the data shown in FIG. 4 is created for each stop (of course,
It is not necessary to create if there is no related matter). Time 4
2 is the time when the relevant matter occurs at the stop. In this example, it is a stop in front of B station, and the departure time of the train at B station is shown as a related item. The mark shape 43 is a mark shape when displaying on the mountain diamond shown in FIG. 5, and in this example, two kinds of marks of Δ and ▽ are used. △ is classified to show the departure time of the up train and ▽ is shown to show the departure time of the down train. The mark position 44 is based on the horizontal axis of the mountain diamond corresponding to the stop, and "1" is displayed below the horizontal axis, "2" is displayed above, and the mark is overlaid on the horizontal axis. Enter "0" to display. In this example, the departure time of the train is taken up as a related matter, but it should be identified by a mark such as the departure time of other means of transit that can be used for transit, the time of school entry and exit, and the opening and closing time of department stores. Thus, various time information can be displayed on the mountain schedule.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
Use to explain. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing operation schedules actually displayed on the display means 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment. In FIG. 7, first, the operator inputs the system code indicating the operating system from the input means 1 to specify the mountain schedule to be displayed (step 71). Here, it is assumed that the system code “A51” is input. Next, the control means 2 selects "A" from the operation data file 4 and the stop data file 5.
The data related to "51" is read into the work work area 3 (step 72), an operation timetable as shown in FIG. 5 is created (step 73), and when the operation timetable is created, the control means 2 displays the operation timetable. 7 is displayed (step 74). Next, the operator designates the stop where the related data should be displayed from the input means 1 (step 75). This designation method is designated by clicking the stop (here, "B station front") where the related data is to be displayed using the input means 1 (eg mouse) as shown by the cursor 61 in FIG. . The control means 2 recognizes the designated stop, retrieves the related data related to the stop from the related data file 6 (step 76), and reads the relevant data into the work work area 3 (step 77). Next, the control means 2 develops the read related data in the work work area 3 and designates a mark indicating the related data at a position indicated by time 42 on the horizontal axis corresponding to the front of the B station in FIG. Mark shape 43 (△, ▽)
The display is performed according to the designated mark position 44. Further, the minute of the relevant time is displayed in two digits adjacent to the mark (step 78). If the operator sees this displayed mark and has an instruction to correct the bus schedule from the input means 1 (step 79), the operation data is corrected according to the operator's correction operation (step 80). There are various correction methods. For example, to correct the diamond shown by the line 63, position the mouse cursor at the position of 62 and click to specify this line segment, then move it to the position you want to move. When the cursor is moved and clicked, the control means 2 moves the line segment and redisplays it at the position of the dotted line in FIG. For example, in FIG. 6, a bus arrives between a train departing at 7:00 and a train departing at 7:00 in front of station B, but passengers getting off from both trains can be put on board. When the operator wants to correct the operation timetable, the operator clicks the line 64 by the input means 1, puts the cursor 63 on a position to move on the horizontal axis of the stop, and clicks the control means 2. The departure time 23 and the arrival time 24 of the data of the operation data file 5 are corrected based on the diagram indicated by the line. Based on the corrected data, the line 64 is erased, the line 65 is changed from a dotted line to a practice line, and displayed (step 80), and the process ends.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the present embodiment, the creation of the bus operation timetable has been described, but the invention is not limited to the bus operation and can be applied to any train or other operation timetables.

Further, in the present embodiment, the data regarding the stop is displayed on the mountain diagram by marks, but instead of the data regarding the stop, or further, a table (for example, the timetable itself) is shown in FIG. You may superimpose and display on a screen. In this case, multi-window technology can be utilized.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the related data, which is the time information about the boarding / alighting point of the passenger identified by the mark, is stored in the related data file in advance,
When the boarding / alighting point is specified on the screen where the train schedule is displayed, the operator can see the mark by displaying the related data of the specified boarding / alighting point according to the time axis on the displayed timetable. Since the timetable can be modified, the operation timetable can be easily modified with reference to the data regarding the passenger's boarding / alighting points.
