Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an arrangement diagram for minimizing the effect of a delay in a train when the delay occurs (a train diagram reviewed based on the details of the delay).
The present invention relates to a train operation control device that can quickly create a train operation control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A train operation plan can be roughly divided into a planning timetable preparation and an arrangement timetable preparation. The planned schedule is a schedule in which the transport capacity, the travel time between stations, the arrival and departure time of each station, guidance, and the like are emphasized, and is a train schedule that is normally operated. On the other hand, the train schedule is a train schedule that has been reorganized, such as canceling operation to stop the delay of the train if it occurs for some reason during the operation of the train, minimizing the effect, changing the evacuation station, operating the transfer train, etc. It is. The train operation plan is
This is performed by creating a train operation chart that can be drawn by using a straight line called a train line or simply a line with the horizontal axis as time and the vertical axis as distance (station position).

FIG. 19 shows, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-115433.
Is a diagram showing an example of a conventional drawing method of a train streak shown in the official gazette, based on the planned travel time between each station, each station stop time, etc., at the stations A to E of the train over time. Is drawn by a straight line. In this example, it is possible to select whether to draw a stop line or not.
"Drawing" is performed at the station, the D station and the E station, and "non-drawing" is performed at the B station and the C station. In other words, the train line is a straight line for the stop time at station A, a straight line for the departure time of station A to the arrival time of station D, a straight line for the stop time at station D, a departure time for station D to the arrival time of station E. And a straight line corresponding to the stop time at E station. Also, although not shown, in the drawing of the train line, not only the selection of the drawing of the stop line, but also the operator sets various types of information such as the line type and line color of the line, the train number display, and the symbol of the train type. As a result, a train schedule adapted to the form of each train operation is created.

[0004]

The drawing method used in the conventional apparatus is for preparing a pre-planned schedule, and it is important to give a degree of freedom to the drawing of a train operation chart. However, on the other hand, various information such as a line drawing method, a train number display, and a train type symbol had to be set one by one. Therefore, if a train delay occurs for any reason, if it is necessary to change the timetable (operational rescheduling) to minimize the effect, the input work takes time, and it cannot be processed quickly. There was a point.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to eliminate the need for an operator to be conscious of a drawing method of a train line when performing traffic rescheduling.
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a train operation arrangement device capable of quickly creating an arrangement diagram.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows a hardware configuration of a train operation control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a computer such as an engineering workstation, 2 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and 3 is an input device 2. An input interface for transmitting information input from the computer to the computer 1, an output interface for transmitting the processing result of the computer 1 to an output device 5 such as a display, a printer, a plotter, an external storage device 6 such as a disk or MT, and a reference numeral 7 An output interface for exchanging information between the external storage device 6 and the computer 1; a train operation management system 8 for monitoring the operation of the train and controlling traffic lights; and 9 a line between the computer 1 and the operation management system 8 Is a network interface for exchanging information via the Internet.

FIG. 2 shows a functional configuration of a process performed by the computer 1 of FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes an arrangement line editing unit for registering the contents of the operation arrangement input by the operator in the train information database 10a, and 11 a line drawing unit for drawing a train line based on the train information database 10a. The line drawing unit 11 includes a train type classification determination unit 11
a, stop line determining unit 11b, train line notation determining unit 11
c, a train number notation determination unit 11d, and a symbol type notation determination unit 11e. Each of the determination units 11a to 11e is based on the train type data included in the train information database 10a, The streak notation condition database 12b, the train streak notation condition database 12c, the train number notation condition database 12d, the train-related symbol notation condition database 12e, and the train-related symbol type notation condition database 12f are respectively searched to determine the notation method of the train streak. And display,
A train line is drawn on an output device 5 such as a printer or a plotter.

The operation of the line drawing unit 11 for inputting the train information database 10a, determining various notation conditions based on the train information database 10a, and drawing the train lines in the train operation arrangement apparatus thus configured will be described. I do. First, the train type classification determination unit 11a will be described. The train type classification determining unit 11a searches the train type classification information database 12a using the train type information included in the input train information database 10a as a key, and searches the various notation condition databases 12b to 12f corresponding to the train types. Determine the classification items. The type classification item determined here will be a search key for various notation condition databases later. FIG. 3 shows the structure of the train type classification information database 12a. Generally, limited express for passenger guidance,
Although there are train types such as express, normal, and forwarding, in the train operation plan, a more detailed classified train type is used depending on a difference between a stop station and a vehicle to be used. For example, the type of express to guide passengers is also express, normal express A on the operation plan, express B which is operated only during commuting hours, and has more stops than express A,
It is distinguished from the nearest station of the baseball stadium to express C or the like for the purpose of transporting baseball spectators. For each of the train types thus distinguished, the classification for the stop line (the type classification item of the stop line description condition database 12b), the classification for the streak (type classification item of the train line notation condition database 12c), the train A classification for numbers (type classification items in the train number notation condition database 12d) and a classification for symbols (type classification items in the train relation symbol notation condition database 12e and the train relation symbol type notation condition database 12f) are stored. The train type classification determination unit 11a inputs the train type included in the train information database 10a,
The type classification item of the various notation conditions corresponding to it is determined.

Next, the flow of processing of the stop line determining unit 11b will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the type classification item for the stop line determined by the train type classification determination unit 11a is obtained (S1), and the stop line notation condition database 12b is searched using the search line as a search key, and the stop line at each station of the train is stopped. Acquisition of display / non-display of (S
2). FIG. 5 shows the structure of the stop line notation condition database 12b. For each stop line classification item stored in the train type classification information database 12a described in FIG. In the table, "○" is stored for "stop", and "x" is stored for "non-display". In addition,
The reason why the classification items are further classified as up / down is that stop times may be different between up / down.
Up / down information is obtained from the train information database 10a. Next, a train line from the departure station to the destination station is drawn according to the acquired stop line display / non-display at each station. First, the starting point of the train line is set as the departure station, and the next station is set as the station concerned (S3). Here, if the station is a destination station (Yes in S4), a train line from the starting point to the station is drawn (S5), and the process ends. If the station is not the destination station (NO at S4), the stop line at the station is searched, and if "display" (Yes at S6), the stop line at the station is drawn and the start line is drawn. A train line from the station to the station is drawn (S7). Then, the station is set as the starting point, and the station next to the station is reset as the station (S8), and the above S4 is set.
Return to processing. In S6, if the stop line at the station is “non-display” (No in S6), the next station is reset to the station (S9), and the process returns to S4. Fig. 6 shows an example of a train line drawn as described above.
Shown in The train lines at stations A to E of the regular / downbound trains are indicated by broken lines if drawn according to the arrival / departure time of the train schedule, but according to the information in the database shown in FIG.
Since the stop line is displayed only at the station, the C station, and the E station, the train line is drawn as a solid line.

Next, the processing of the train line notation determination unit 11c will be described. Also in this case, the stop line notation determination unit 11
In the same manner as in b, the type classification item for the train line determined by the train type classification determination unit 11a is acquired, and the train line description condition database 12c is searched using the item as a search key to draw the train line of the train. To get better. FIG.
Shows the structure of the train line notation condition database 12c. The train type classification information database 1 shown in FIG.
The line color, line type, and line width of the train line are stored for each of the classification items for streak notation stored in 2a for each of the regular / irregular periodical periods, which are the train operation distinctions. . Here, "regular" indicates a train that operates throughout the year, and "irregular" indicates a train that operates or is closed on a specified day, a seasonal train, and the like. The classification items of each type are further classified into regular classifications. In the operation chart currently used by each railway company, even if the train type is the same, the color of the train line is regular / irregular. This is because, in many cases, different line types are used. The regular / irregular information is obtained from the train information database 10a. FIG.
In the example shown in (1), a thick and solid line indicates an express train, a thick and solid line indicates an express train, a thin and solid line indicates an ordinary train, and a thin and dotted line indicates a freight train line.

Next, the processing of the train number notation determination unit 11d will be described. In this case, similarly, the type classification item for the train number determined by the train type classification determining unit 11a is obtained, and the train number notation condition database 12d is searched using the item as a search key, and the train number of the train is displayed. To get between stations. FIG. 9 shows the structure of the train number notation condition database 12d. For each classification item for the train number stored in the train type classification information database 12a described in FIG. And display / non-display of train numbers between stations. The train number is always attached to the information of each train, and it is necessary to attach the train number to the train line, and the train number is displayed along with the train line between the stations "displayed" in FIG. Things. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, the 101st train is a limited express descent, so the train number is displayed between the A station and the B station. The train number 100 is between the E and D stations because it is a limited express train, the train number 201 is between the B and C stations because it is an express downhill, and the train number is between the D and C stations because it is an express upline. Have been.

Finally, the processing of the symbol notation determining unit 11e will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the type classification item for symbols determined by the train type classification determining unit 11a and the train information database 1
The train-related symbol type notation condition database 12f is searched using the periodical segment obtained from 0a as a search key,
The symbol of the train is acquired (T1). FIG. 12 shows the structure of the train-related symbol type notation condition database 12f. The train type classification information database 1 shown in FIG.
For each classification item for symbols stored in 2a, a symbol type is stored for each periodic division (period / season / specified day suspension / specified day operation) which is a distinction between train operations. Therefore, the symbol type of the train is determined in the process of T1. Here, the reason that the various classification items are further classified into regular categories is that each JR company currently
This is because, even for the same train type, different symbols are used for all different train lines with different periodic divisions. The information of this regular section is stored in the train information database 1
0a. Next, the train-related symbol notation condition database 12e is searched in the order of the running stations of the train (starting station to destination station) (T2), and if it is between the stations to be displayed (Yes in T3), The symbol determined at T1 is displayed between the stations (T4). If it is between "non-display" stations (No in T3), the next station is searched. FIG. 13 shows the structure of the train-related symbol notation condition database 12e. In each of up / down, ○ is stored between stations that “display” train-related symbols, and x is stored between “non-display” stations. doing. FIG. 14 is an example showing the processing result of the above-mentioned train-related symbol display. For example, indicates passenger / designated day operation, indicates forwarding / designated day suspension, and is a down train, respectively.
It is displayed between B station and C station. Alternatively, since it is a high-speed cargo / regular service and an upbound train, it is displayed between stations C and D.

[0020] As described above, when a train is delayed for any reason, such as when a train is delayed, the operator is required to input the details of the train control (train information) in order to minimize the effect. Various notation conditions set in advance are automatically acquired from each database, and a desired train line is drawn on the output device together with various information. Therefore,
Traffic control can be done quickly. In addition, since each of the notation condition databases 12b to 12f shares the train type as the basis of classification and stores independent data,
Only by associating the train type with the type classification item of each notation condition database using the train type classification information database 12a, the present invention can be applied to an operation plan of each company having various train type patterns and various notation conditions.

Embodiment 2 FIG. Note that, in the first embodiment, the stop streak is not drawn for a station that is “not displayed” in the stop streak notation condition database 12b,
A straight line is used to connect the station that is displayed as shown to the next displayed station.If a train stops for a long time at a station that stops at a line that is not displayed, the actual train position may change over time. The train line was too far away,
Misunderstandings and inconveniences occur with overcrowded diamonds. Therefore, the maximum stop time at each station is set in the stop line notation condition database 12b, and when the stop time exceeds the stop time, the stop line notation condition is always displayed even if the stop line notation condition is "non-display". I do. Specifically, in the determination processing of S6 in the flowchart of FIG. 4 described above, when the station is “non-display”, the maximum stop time of the station is compared with the actual stop time,
If the stop time exceeds the maximum stop time, the process may proceed to S7 to draw a stop line at the station.
In FIG. 15, a train line indicated by a broken line is a train line according to the actual arrival / departure time, and the train line is a case where the stop line notation condition is “display only at station C” with respect to the train line. It has been drawn. In this regard, B
Since the stop time at the station and the D station is not long, there is no significant difference from the actual running. However, when the train is actually stopped at station B for a long time, as in the case of the train line shown by the bold line, the train line looks like a train line according to the stop line notation condition of "display only at station C". It will be far from running. Therefore, in such a case, the stop line at station B is displayed regardless of the contents of the stop line notation condition. As a result, between the station A and the station C, the same thing as the train line indicated by the thick line is drawn. As described above, it is not necessary to change the information in the stop line notation condition database 12b for a train whose stop time is long, and a train line as the image of the operator is drawn.

Embodiment 3 FIG. In addition, as described in the first embodiment, the train number notation condition database 12d stores the train numbers between the stations of "display" and the stations of "non-display". Because the running section (first train station to destination station) is individually determined, depending on the train, such as a short running section, the above train number "display"
May not travel between stations. In this case, the train numbers are all “non-displayed” between the stations in the traveling section, and there is a problem that the drawn train lines are not assigned the train numbers. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, in the train number notation condition database 12d, the priority order for displaying the train numbers is set between the stations whose train numbers are “non-display”. Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17, “display” is performed in the traveling section of the train (starting station to destination station).
If there is no station between the stations (Yes in U1), the station having the highest priority of the train number display among the stations existing in the traveling section is selected, and the train number is drawn between the stations. (U2). If there is a "display" station (when No in U1), a train number is drawn between the stations as in the first embodiment (U3). In a specific example, as shown by a train line in FIG. 18, for example, since the travel section of the limited express / upbound train is short from station C to station E, in the section,
In the database shown in Fig. 6, "Hide" between all stations
Therefore, the priority is compared between the station CD and the station DE. As a result, since the inter-station CD has a higher priority, the train number 103 is displayed in the inter-station CD. As described above, even when the train travel section is short, the operator does not need to change the content of the database, and the train number can be automatically displayed.

Embodiment 4 In the third embodiment, the case where the train number is “non-display” between all the stations has been described. Similarly, since the train travel section is short, the train-related symbols are changed between all the stations. Even in the case of "non-display", by setting the display priority order, the symbols are always displayed between the stations existing in the traveling section. In this case, the priority may be set in the train-related symbol notation condition database 12e.

[0024]
