Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transportation plan support device for estimating railway transportation volume and supporting a transportation plan carried out based on a business policy of each railway company, and particularly, for quickly evaluating a transportation plan. The present invention relates to a transportation planning support device that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a railway transportation plan is related to improvement of vehicle performance, improvement of railroad tracks, etc., and is a very important task in a railway company. In addition, many constraints must be considered. It is a complicated task that should not be done. Conventionally, a transportation plan of a railway company has been performed by a person reading necessary data from a book and a drawing written on paper, and no substantial transportation plan support device has been proposed.

However, an apparatus for creating a train schedule in a transportation plan is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-70574. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional train schedule creation device described in the above publication.

In FIG. 4, 1 is an electronic computer including a CPU and having various arithmetic functions, 2 is a character input / output terminal device connected to the electronic computer 1, and 3 is character information and a train as an arithmetic result of the electronic computer 1. A display device for displaying a diagram, 4 is an input device for inputting coordinate positions, characters, numerical values, instruction commands, etc. to the computer 1, and 5 is a device for cooperating with the computer 1 to store calculation results and various information. A storage device 7 is an output device for outputting a chart, a table, and the like as a processing result in the electronic computer 1 on a sheet.

Next, the operation of the conventional train schedule creating apparatus shown in FIG. 4 will be described. The railway transportation plan is based on the business policy of each railway company, based on the business policy of each railway company. Create and calculate the driving gap.

In addition, a train schedule is created according to the operating hours, operating intervals, train conditions, station conditions, line conditions, etc.
Create an operation schedule for vehicles and crews that will be used for this train schedule. These tasks were performed on paper by humans, and the passing of data to related tasks was read by humans.

Next, the specific processing operation of the train schedule creation apparatus shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, as preprocessing, semi-fixed data such as operating hours, route conditions and station conditions are input and incorporated in the computer 1 in advance.

At this time, as a first step, the basic conditions for diamond creation are displayed on the display device 3 and input into the computer 1 using the input device 2. That is, the conditions and the policy for creating the timetable are presented (step S1), and the transportation capacity (train type and the number of trains) and the condition for creating the timetable and the policy (the maximum allowable stop time, etc.) are corrected and input (step S2).

As a second step, the diamond diagram is prepared while the computer 1 makes a trial chain error (step S3). As the data at this time, the data previously incorporated in the storage device 5 is used.

In addition, as a third step, the result of the trial chain error (diagram original plan) is presented and displayed on the display device 3 (step S4), and it is determined whether the diamond original plan is satisfied (step S5). If the determination result of step S5 is unsatisfactory (that is, NO), the process returns to step S1 and the above steps S1 to S4 are repeated until it is satisfied (that is, YES).

Further, as a fourth step, after it is determined that the timetable draft is satisfied in step S5, detailed detailed items are set (time designation etc.) using the input device 4 (step S6), and correction is made. Is determined (step S7).
If there is a correction in step S7 (that is, YES)
If it is determined that the time of the designated train and related trains is corrected (step S8), if it is determined that there is no correction (that is, NO), then it is determined whether the final result is satisfactory (step S).
9).

If the determination result in step S9 is not satisfied (that is, NO), the process returns to step S1 and steps S1 to S8 are repeated until it is satisfied (that is, YES). Then, when it is determined that the train schedule is satisfied in step S9, the train schedule creation process of FIG. 5 ends.

[0013]

As described above, since the conventional transportation planning support device is mainly operated by humans,
There is a problem that it takes time to transfer a large amount of data between related works, and at the same time, an error occurs.
In addition, since the related work unit is complicated and requires a lot of time, it takes a lot of time to evaluate a partial change of the series of work or the whole change, and the work is transported only from the train schedule creation device. There was a problem that the planned evaluation could not be performed promptly.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and facilitates the transfer of data between work units in a transportation plan, and at the same time, a part or the whole of each work unit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transportation plan support device which can reduce the time for changing data for a change and can quickly evaluate a transportation plan extending over each work unit.
