Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Explanation of technical field The present invention relates to a method for guiding passengers at a station.

(b) Description of Background Art Conventionally, station name display boards installed on the platforms of each station display the station names of adjacent stations in addition to the station name of the current station. However, in line sections where various types of trains are operated, such as limited express, express, and local trains, the next station the train stops at is not necessarily an adjacent station, and the train departing from the current station is not always the next station. It is inconvenient for passengers to not know whether the station will stop at the station. <c) Purpose and Summary of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and includes a liquid crystal display or light emitting diode ( A dot-configured LEI display (hereinafter abbreviated as Ll6) is installed to display the next train's type, destination, and next stop station name in accordance with the timing of train approach and departure. To provide a passenger guidance method that displays necessary guidance information on a station name display board when necessary.

(d) Embodiments of the Invention Embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the passenger guidance system of the invention, in which a train approaches platform FT of a station. A station device 3 is provided which receives train position signals 1a and 1c from a track circuit 2a in an approach section that detects the train's departure from the platform PT, and a track circuit 2b in the departure section that detects the train's departure from the platform PT.

The station device 3 includes an input device for receiving track circuit signals, 4 a train schedule memory 6 that stores the type, 9 destinations, and the next stop of this train in the order of train departure, and a storage device RAM 7° ROM 8.
Data reception between the output device 9 and these devices is performed by an arithmetic processing unit CPU 5 which performs transfer control.

A station name display board 10 is provided which receives the output from the station device 3 and displays guidance information to passengers. The station name display board 1o consists of a control section 11 and a display section 19. The control unit 11 also includes an input device 12, a word memory 16 that stores character patterns for displaying words such as station name and train type in dots on the display unit, and a storage device RO.
M14. and 几AM 15, a refresh memory 17 constituting a screen memory for displaying dots on the display unit,
It consists of a driver 18 for lighting the liquid crystal or LED, and an arithmetic processing unit CPU 13 for controlling data transfer between these devices.

The display section 19 includes a section 2o in which the station name is written and a liquid crystal or LF!
It is made up of parts 21 to 23 that can be displayed as dots by D.

The arriving train and stop station display section 21 displays either "this train is", "this train is", or "next stop station", and the train type/destination table 73 < section 22 is displayed. displays the train type and destination, and the 6th line "" is lit or turned off in the 23 section.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

In the station equipment 3, train types and destinations are stored in a timetable memory 6 in the order of departure of the trains, and the CPU 5 reads the data in the timetable memory 6, that is, the type of train scheduled to depart next, according to the program stored in the OM 8. and transfer the destination code from 6 to Do 9 K. The data sent to Do 9 is sent to DI 12 on station name display board 1o. The data in the DI 12 is taken into the CPU 13, decoded according to the program in the ROM 14, and stored in the word memory 16 according to the data sent to the DI 12, that is, the train type 2 destination code.
A character pattern for displaying the train type and one destination according to the code is extracted from . When the train is not approaching the station platform, both the track circuits 2a and 2b are not detecting the train, so DI 4 becomes a 0.0 signal, and the signal of DI 4 is output as DO9K by the operation of the CPU 5. That is, D
o9 outputs a 01,0 signal. This is received by the DI 12, decoded by the operation of the CPU 13, and word memory 1
A character pattern corresponding to a 0.0 signal is extracted from 6. The character corresponding to the 0.0 signal is the character "Pa" for the next train.

The character pattern obtained in this manner is written into the refresh memory 17 and displayed on the display panels 21 to 23 by processing by the driver.

In other words, a display such as ``The next train is OQ■ [phase] line'' appears.

Next, the train approaches the platform and the signal for track circuit 2a comes out.
A 1,0 signal is input to I4. 1 in the same way as above
,0 signal is output to Do 9 and enters DI12. C.P.
When the U 13 decodes the 1,0 signal, it takes out a character pattern corresponding to the 1,0 signal from the word memory 16. 1
, 0 The character corresponding to the signal is 1 This train is”. This character pattern is stored in the refresh memory 17.
is written and the 21 part on the display board says “This train is °’
The text changes to .

Next, when the train arrives and the conductor presses the departure bell B on the platform, the signal enters DI 4, and as before, this signal is output to DO 9 by CPU 5, and then CPU 5
The next stop data of the corresponding train stored in the timetable memory 6 is read out and output to Do 9. When the departure bell signal B and the next stop data are input to the DI 12, the CPU 13 decodes these data and displays "Next stop station is 000" on the display sections 21 to 23 in the same manner as described above. Is displayed.

Next, the train departs and the track circuit 2a is 0.2b is 1 or 0.
When the signal changes to 1, a 0.1 signal is input to DI4, and CP
By the action of U5, the information in the timetable memory 6 is transferred to the next train information. Subsequently, the operation is exactly the same as when DI 4 is a 0,0 signal as described above.

When the train is far away, track circuit 2b becomes OK, so DI 4
input is 0. The operation at this time is as described above, and this operation is repeated.

(e) Effects of the invention By using this device, information on the next train is displayed to passengers waiting on the platform, and when the train arrives, the name of the current station and the name of the next stopping station are displayed to the passengers inside the train. Displaying the name of the next stop according to the type of tun to guide passengers through the system,
This helps improve service and avoid confusion at the same time.
