In such an apparatus, an operation plan of a vehicle is created as follows. First, if there is a schedule revision or vehicle update, the information stored in the static condition database 2 is changed by the static condition setting unit 1. Each time a vehicle operation plan is created, dynamic conditions such as work conditions are designated by the dynamic condition setting unit 3 and stored in the dynamic condition database 4. The operation of all vehicles is performed based on knowledge information such as rules and operation order related to vehicle operation assignment stored in the vehicle operation basic assignment knowledge base 7 and the private assignment rule knowledge base 8 and the above-described static and dynamic conditions. Are combined so as to be averaged, a vehicle operation plan is created by the knowledge information processing unit 6, and is output by the vehicle operation plan output unit 11. As described above, a daily vehicle operation plan is automatically created for a schedule created in advance for the transportation business, while taking into account legal inspections and required operations of the vehicle.

[0004]

The conventional vehicle operation planning device is constructed as described above, and a plan is created. However, since a place where the vehicle is to be kept at night when there is no operation of the vehicle is not planned, it is determined separately. It had to be time consuming, and it took a lot of time to decide on a place to stay lean. Further, the conventional vehicle operation planning device does not consider the manual correction by the operator after automatically creating the plan, and therefore, when the manual correction becomes necessary, the operator is automatically prepared. It is necessary to correct the operation plan of the vehicle while looking at the plan results output in the form of a table and taking into account the contents, the static conditions, the dynamic conditions, the connection between the operations on the preceding and following days, and the like. For this reason, a great deal of time is required for planning and correction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. A vehicle operation planning method capable of automatically planning a night car number at night and easily correcting the plan. The purpose is to obtain.

[0006]

In the vehicle operation planning method according to the present invention, a rule for determining a priority order in determining a night lane line of a vehicle is determined in advance, and a vehicle having a higher priority order is used in accordance with the rule. It includes a procedure for automatically setting a track. Further, the plan result is displayed in a graphic format including entry, exit, vehicle number, work, and night number. In addition, from the highest priority in the determination of the night car line, the vehicle set to take the specific night car line unconditionally, the vehicle decided to stay on the same line as the previous day, and the work are set.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiment 1 FIG. Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a vehicle operation planning method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a night car number line determining process in step S7 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a vehicle operation plan screen displayed on a display device. FIG. 6 is a screen diagram showing an example of the screen.
In this procedure, first, a vehicle operation plan is created in the same manner as that described with reference to FIG. 4, and the number of the night car is determined for each vehicle as shown in FIG. 2, and the results are shown in FIG. Display on the screen.

First, at step S0, a vehicle operation plan is made in the same manner as in FIG. In other words, a vehicle operation plan is automatically created by combining all vehicles so as to be averaged based on knowledge information such as rules and allocation order related to vehicle operation allocation and static and dynamic conditions such as schedules and operations. I do.
In the case of a railway, a train is composed of a number of vehicles, and a vehicle hereinafter refers to a train in a railway. Next, in step S1, one vehicle is extracted from the operation plan database in which the plan result is stored. Then, in step S2, the operation to which the vehicle is assigned is searched for and found. The operation is represented by a circle or triangle and displayed on the display screen as shown in FIG. 3, and the vehicle number is displayed near the figure.

Here, the figures on the display screen of FIG. 3 will be described. ○ indicates exit from the base, △ indicates entry into the base, black も の indicates inspection after entry, ◇ indicates entry into a station other than the base, and the horizontal line indicates main line business etc. Indicates a state where no vehicle is present. △ without horizontal lines is a preliminary operation with no operation. When there are not enough lines to display all vehicles, continue downward and when displaying the number of days, add a similar figure to the right. Describing each column, 21 indicates a night car number line from the previous night. How to determine the night car line will be described later. 2
Numerals 2 and 23 show the operation state of the vehicle in the morning and afternoon, respectively, and the middle 24 shows the operation. Reference numeral 25 denotes a vehicle number, and reference numeral 26 denotes a night vehicle number line from the current night to the next morning.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 1, in step S3, a dynamic condition database is searched using the vehicle number as a key, and it is checked whether a dynamic condition is set for the vehicle. If dynamic conditions such as work are set, step S4
Then, it is displayed as shown in the column 24 in FIG. Next, in step S5, it is checked whether or not the processing in steps S1 to S4 has been performed for all vehicles, and if there is any more, the processing is repeated to create a plan for one day. The created plan is stored in the operation plan database (hard disk). If it is determined in step S6 that a plan for a certain period has been specified, it is checked whether planning has been performed for all the specified days. In addition, since the operation plan of the next day is needed to determine the night car number line of the day, the plan for the next day is performed.

Next, at step S7, a night car number line is automatically determined by a computer. The rule for determining the priority order for determining the night car line is predetermined and is as follows. FIG. 2 shows the detailed flow. First, step S7
-1, if there is a vehicle that is determined to unconditionally take a specific night lane line as a group of vehicles that take the night lane line with the highest priority, this is picked up and set to that night lane line I do. Subsequently, in step S7-2, as a group of vehicles that take the night lane line with the second highest priority, vehicles that have been determined to stay on the same line as the previous day, for example, for preliminary operation without any work on the same day or the next day Search for a vehicle or a vehicle working on the day and set it to the same night car number as the previous day.

Next, in step S7-3, work is set as a group of vehicles that take the night car line with the third highest priority, and the work is a vehicle with a fixed work line, for example, operation on the day. , Vehicles with work before leaving the next day,
A search is made for a vehicle on which the same work continues on the same day and the next day, and the vehicle is caused to stay at that work line. Next, in step S7-4,
As a group of vehicles that take the night lane line with the fourth priority, the operation on the next day causes the vehicle that is in the operation of which the leaving line is designated to stay at the designated line.

Finally, in step S7-5, step S7
The vehicles not set up to 7-4 are allocated to the remaining line of the night vehicle line. Further, the vehicle for which the night car line cannot be set due to collision with a vehicle having a higher priority up to step S7-4 determines the night car line in step S7-5. The created night car information is stored in the operation plan database (hard disk). The display on the display device is performed as shown at 26 in FIG. In addition, the night car number line from the previous night shown in FIG. 21 is the number line set when the plan of the previous day was performed.

When the vehicle operation plan created as described above needs to be corrected, the correction can be easily made manually by displaying a display as shown in FIG. 3 on the display device. Since the departure and entry of vehicles from the depot corresponding to the schedule are displayed in a figure assigned to the vehicle number, the flow of daily vehicles becomes visually clear, making it easy to correct operation, The time required to correct the operation plan is reduced.

Embodiment 2 In the above description, as a timing for forming the created vehicle operation plan as a diagram, the operation is described as a figure each time, but the figured operation may be stored in the static condition database in advance. Further, the rules for determining the priority in the determination of the night lane line may be other than the rules described above as long as the night lane line can be determined so as not to cause unnecessary turning. Although the screen of the display device is shown in FIG. 3 for only one day in order to make the drawing easier to see, a plan for several days can be displayed at the same time.
Further, in the above description, the entry / exit of the vehicle is represented by a graphic, but the shape and the expression method may be any other graphic as long as it is easy to see. Although a hard disk is shown as a storage device for the operation database, other storage devices, for example, EEPR
A semiconductor memory such as OM can also be used.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the rules for determining the priority order in determining the night lane line of a vehicle are determined in advance, and the night lane line is automatically set according to the rule. This has the effect of saving the trouble of deciding. Also,
By displaying the plan results in a graphical format including entry, exit, vehicle number, work and night number, the flow of daily vehicles becomes visually clear, and the time for manual correction and manual creation of the operation plan Can be shortened.
