Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To output accurate passenger guide information by preparing estimated diagrams for respective trains based on experienced diagrams and running time between stations, and thereby outputting passenger guide information based on the aforesaid estimated diagrams when trains running in the different directions do not arrive at the station because of disturbances in diagram. SOLUTION: The last experienced arrival and departure times for an internal line number (i) are investigated out of an experienced train diagram file, and a station code from which trains finally departed/arrived, is registered (T2) to (k) and (k1). Subsequently, running time from a station code (k1) to a station code (k1+1) is obtained (T4) from running time for an operation pattern unless the next station is a terminal station, in addition to the estimated arrival and departure times, which are already registered to the station code (k1), and the whole of the arrival and departure times are registered (T7) to an estimated diagram as the arrival and departure times for the station code (k1+1). These processes are repeated, and an estimated train diagram is thereby prepared, which estimates the arrival and departure times for respective stations up to the terminal station for all of the trains. Furthermore, passenger guide information is also prepared based on the aforesaid estimated train diagram.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger information device on a railway.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows, for example, JP-A-5-286440.
It is a functional block diagram which shows the conventional train passenger guidance information apparatus shown by the gazette. In the figure, 1 is an actual train timetable file that is the basis of train operation, 2 is a actual train timetable file that stores the actual arrival and departure records of trains, and 3 is passenger guide information from the actual train timetable file 1 and the actual train timetable file 2. This is a passenger guide information file creation unit that creates File 4. In addition, Figure 6 shows the train schedule file 1
3 is a diagram showing the structure of a passenger guide information file 4. FIG. All trains running on the day are registered in the execution train schedule file 1. Each record has the same structure,
For each train, store basic information such as internal train number, train number, train type, starting station, ending station, driving pattern, and station information such as the departure and arrival station and arrival and departure time at each station, station number are doing. The internal train number is a serial number assigned to each train, and is sequentially assigned from 1 to the total number N of trains. Incidentally, the actual train schedule file 2 has the same structure as the execution train schedule file 1, but the station information of the station is stored only when the train arrives at the station. The passenger guidance information file 4 stores, for each platform number at each station, basic information and train station information of a train using the platform in order of use time.

The operation of creating passenger guide information in such a conventional train passenger guide information device will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, station code k =
1, the internal column number i = 1 (S1). Next, it is determined from the executed train diagram file 1 whether the train with the internal column number i has the information of the station code k, that is, whether the train uses the station k (S2). If there is no station code k information (N in S2), proceed to S11, where i = i
Set to +1 and search for information on the next train. If the station code k has the information (when Y in S2), the actual train schedule file 2 is searched in the same manner, and it is determined whether the train having the internal row number i has the station code k (S3). If the user has the information of the station code k (N in S3), it is determined that the train has already arrived at the station code k, and it is not necessary to create the passenger guide information of the train, so S11
Proceed to. If there is no information on the station code k (Y in S3), the platform number of the station code k used by the train with the internal column number i is registered in n (S4).

Next, the home number n of the station code k in the passenger information file 4 is searched, and if the registered number y is not 0,
That is, if y trains using the platform number n have already been registered (Y in S5), the arrival time of the y-th registered train and the arrival time of the train of the internal row number i Are compared (S6). As a result, if the arrival time of the train with the internal row number i is larger, that is, if the platform number n is used at a later time than the train registered as the y-th train (S
6 when Y), station code k in passenger information file 4
The basic information of the train of the internal column number i and the station information of the station code k are registered at the (y + 1) th position of the home track line n of (S).
7). If the arrival time of the train of the internal row number i is smaller, that is, if the platform number n is used earlier than the y-th registered train (when N in S6), it is already in the y-th place. The registered information is registered in the (y + 1) th position (S8), and the basic information of the train with the internal row number i and the station information with the station code k are registered in the yth position (S9).

If the registered number y of the platform number n of the station code k of the passenger information file 4 is 0 (N in S5), the basic information of the train of the internal row number i and the station of the station code k are kept as they are. Information is registered (S9). After registering the information of the internal column number i on the platform number n of the station code k of the passenger information file 4, the number of registrations y = y + 1 is set (S1).
0). Next, the internal column number i = i + 1 is set (S11), i
If> I (I is the total number of trains), that is, if there is a train that uses the station code k for which train information is not registered (N in S12), the above process is repeated in S2. If i> I (when Y in S12), the passenger guide information at the station code k has been created, so k =
It is set to k + 1 (S13). Next station code k is k> K (K
Is not the total number of stations), that is, if there is a station for which passenger guidance information has not been created (when N in S14), the process returns to S2.
If k> K (Y in S14), passenger guide information has been created for all stations, so the process ends.

[0006]

In the conventional train passenger guide information device as described above, passenger guide information is created on the basis of the train schedule, so that it is possible to use the same platform number in both up and down directions. , For example, if there is a delay in the train in the direction that is supposed to arrive first on the train schedule and the train in the direction that should arrive later arrives first, the arrival and departure of the two trains Since the order is different from the order determined on the train schedule, the wrong passenger guide information may be output.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to obtain a train passenger guidance information device capable of outputting correct passenger guidance even when the schedule is disturbed. .

[0008]

In a train passenger information system according to the present invention, a means for holding the running time between stations for each train operation pattern, an actual arrival / departure time of a running train The means for recording the last arrival and departure record of each train from the above result schedule, the last arrival and departure record for each train, and the running time between each station. It is equipped with means for calculating the arrival and departure times at stations in between and creating it as an estimated timetable, and means for arranging trains in the order of the earliest arrival and departure times on the platform line of each station based on the above estimated timetable. is there.

Further, the stop time for each train type at each station is held, and the arrival / departure time is calculated in consideration of the stop time at the time of creating an expected timetable for each train.

Further, the trains that hold the minimum operation time gap pattern of two consecutive trains using the relevant track at each station and are arranged in the order of the earliest time to arrive at the relevant track at each station satisfy the above minimum operation gap. It is something that is done.

Further, there is provided means for calculating the delay time at each station of each train by obtaining the difference between the arrival time and departure time of each train between the execution timetable and the expected timetable.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiment 1. FIG. 1 shows a train passenger guidance information device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the same or corresponding parts as those of a conventional device are designated by the same reference numerals. Reference numeral 5 is a running time for each driving pattern, and its structure is shown in FIG. Since the operation patterns differ depending on the type of train, etc., the running time between stations determined for each operation pattern is stored. 6 is an estimated train diagram file that creates an estimated train diagram file 7 that is the order in which the platform lines of the station are used, based on the execution train diagram file 1, the actual train diagram file 2, and the travel time 5 for each operation pattern. It is a department. Estimated train schedule file 7 is shown in Figure 6.
It has the same structure as the execution train schedule file 1 and the actual train schedule file 2 shown in, but at the station existing between the last station registered in the actual train schedule file 2 and the terminal station of the train. The arrival and departure times of are stored.

The operation of the train passenger guidance information device thus configured will be described. First, the operation of creating an expected train schedule based on the actual train schedule will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the internal column number i
= 1 (T1), the final actual train arrival time of the internal train number i is checked from the actual train schedule file 2, and the last station code that arrives and terminates is registered in k and k1 (T2). The last actual arrival / departure time is the last recorded arrival / departure time among the arrival / departure times recorded in the actual train schedule file 2 up to that point, and the station code that arrived / departed at that time is set to k. Substitute. Further, k1 is a station that should be registered in the expected train schedule by predicting the arrival time of the train in the processing after T3, and indicates the station between the final actual arrival station k and the end station of the train. Yes, first, the last actual arrival / departure station code is also substituted for k1. Next, if the station code (k1 + 1), that is, the station for which the next arrival / departure time is to be predicted is the ending station of the internal column number i (when N in T3), it is not necessary to create passenger guidance information. , T9 and search for the next train with i = i + 1. If the next station is not the terminal station (Y at T3), the travel time from the station code k1 to (k1 + 1) is obtained from the travel time 5 of the operation pattern (T4).

Next, if k = k1 (Y at T5), the actual arrival / departure time at k station, which is the final result of the internal row number i, is added to the running time obtained at T4, and (k + 1) stations are added. It is registered in the expected train schedule as the arrival and departure time of (T6). k = k1
Otherwise (when T5 is N), k already registered
Add the running time calculated in T4 to the expected arrival time at one station,
Register the arrival / departure time at the (k1 + 1) station in the expected train schedule (T7). After that, k1 = k1 + 1 is set (T
8) Return to T3 and register the expected train schedule until k1 becomes the station in front of the terminal station. If you finish registering the estimated arrival and departure time to the station in front of the terminal station for the internal row number i, i =
As i + 1 (T9), the above T2 to T9 processing is repeated for the next train until i> I, that is, until the expected timetable registration is completed for all trains (when N at T10). If registration is completed for all trains (Y at T10)
When), the processing ends. As described above, for all trains, a predicted train schedule is created that predicts the arrival and departure time at each station existing between any point during the running of each train and the terminal station.

Next, the operation of creating passenger guide information based on the created expected train schedule will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, station code k =
1, the internal column number i = 1 (U1). Next, it is determined from the predicted train schedule file 7 whether the train with the internal column number i has the information of the station code k, that is, whether the train uses the station k (U2). If you do not have the station code k information (when U2 is N), proceed to U11, where i = i
Set to +1 and search for information on the next train. If the station code k has the information (Y in U2), the actual train timetable file 2 is searched in the same manner, and it is determined whether the train with the internal row number i has the station code k information (U3). If you have the information of the station code k (N in U3), it is judged that the train has already arrived at the station code k, and it is not necessary to create the passenger guidance information of the train, so U11
Proceed to. If there is no information of the station code k (Y in U3), the platform number of the station code k used by the train with the internal row number i is registered in n (U4).

Next, the home number n of the station code k in the passenger information file 4 is searched, and if the registered number y is not 0,
In other words, if y trains using the platform number n have already been registered (when Y in U5), the arrival time of the yth registered train and the train with the internal row number i in the expected train schedule The arrival time at station code k is compared (U6). As a result, if the arrival time of the train with the internal row number i is larger, that is, if it is predicted that the platform number n will be used later than the y-th registered train (when Y in U6) The basic information of the train of the internal row number i and the station information of the station code k are registered in the (y + 1) th position of the platform number n of the station code k of the passenger guide information file 4 (U7). If the arrival time of the train with the internal row number i is smaller, that is, if it is predicted that the platform number n will be used earlier than the y-th registered train (U6
In the case of N), the information already registered in the yth is registered in the (y + 1) th (U8), and the basic information of the train of the internal column number i and the station information of the station code k are registered in the yth ( U9).

If the number y of registrations of the platform number n of the station code k in the passenger information file 4 is 0 (when U5 is N), the basic information of the train of the internal row number i and the station of the station code k are kept as they are. Register the information (U9). After the information of the internal column number i is registered in the platform number n of the station code k in the passenger information file 4, the number of registrations y = y + 1 is set (U1
0). Next, the internal column number i = i + 1 is set (U11), i
If> I (I is the total number of trains), that is, if there is a train that uses the station code k for which train information has not been registered (when U12 is N), return to U2 and repeat the above processing. If i> I (when U12 is Y), the passenger guide information at the station code k has been created, so k =
Let k + 1 (U13). Next station code k is k> K (K
Is not the total number of stations), that is, if there is a station for which passenger guide information has not been created (when U14 is N), the process returns to U2.
If k> K (when Y in U14), the passenger guidance information has been created for all stations, so the process ends. As described above, passenger guidance information is created based on the final actual train schedule, so the train is delayed due to train delays, etc., and two trains in different directions do not arrive in the order of the train schedule Even in this case, correct passenger guidance information according to the actual train operation can be output. The predicted train schedule and the passenger guide information may be created in a cycle suitable for each train operation density. Further, the expected train timetable of the train may be updated at the timing when each train arrives or departs at one station, that is, at the time when the arrival / departure time is registered in the actual train timetable.

Embodiment 2. In the first embodiment, the arrival time of the next station is calculated by adding the inter-station travel time to the arrival and departure time of the previous station in creating the expected train schedule. By adding the hour and minute, the departure time of the next station can be calculated. As a result, the time zone in which the station is used becomes clear, and more accurate passenger guidance information can be output.

Embodiment 3 In addition, at each station, the operating time interval of the two trains required for two consecutive trains or two trains traveling in the opposite direction to travel is determined due to the route structure within the station, and the operation pattern of each two trains is determined. Keep the minimum operation interval. In the third embodiment, any two consecutive trains are extracted from the train sequence registered in the passenger guide information file created in the first and second embodiments, and the arrival and departure times of those two trains are extracted. Compare the time interval between the two and the minimum operating time that those two trains should keep. If the time interval between the arrival and departure times of the two trains is shorter than the minimum operation time interval, the arrival time of the succeeding train is delayed so as to satisfy the minimum operation time interval. If the time interval between the arrival and departure times of the two trains is longer than the minimum operation time interval, the same time is used as the arrival and departure time of both trains. As described above, it is possible to output passenger guide information for train operation in consideration of security issues.

Embodiment 4 For each train, the arrival / departure time registered in the expected train timetable file 7 and the arrival / departure time in the scheduled train timetable file 1 are compared at each station to obtain the difference, and the difference is added to the passenger information as the delay time. If
It is possible to output detailed passenger guidance information to passengers.

[0021]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following enhancements.

Since an estimated timetable for each train is created based on the actual timetable and the running time between stations, passenger guide information is output based on the predicted timetable, so that two trains in different directions are caused by the disorder of the timetable. Even if the trains do not arrive at the station in the order of the schedule, the accurate passenger guide information can be output.

In addition, when the estimated timetable is created, the departure time of the station is calculated by adding the stop time to the calculated arrival time of the station. This makes it possible to output more accurate passenger guidance information.

Further, since the train sequence of the created passenger guidance information file is set to keep the minimum operating time intervals, passenger guidance information having no security problem can be output.

Further, since the difference between the arrival time and departure time at each station between the predicted timetable and the actual timetable is added as the delay time to the passenger guidance information, more detailed guidance can be provided.
