Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a bus operation instruction device that instructs the crew on the bus schedule for the corresponding route when the route bus is in operation.

As is known from the past, a route bus driver must fill in the name of the stop on the bus route he or she is about to operate, as well as service time information indicating the time of service, such as arrival and departure times and departure times from turnaround points. A bus schedule like the one shown in Figure 1 is placed in front of the driver's seat, and the bus is operated while looking at this schedule.

Generally, this schedule group is called a staff card, and time management of the schedule is performed based on the service time information written on the staff card.

However, in the past, the bus schedule information was based solely on the memory of the bus crew, so accidents often occurred where the bus did not start operating even after the departure time due to memory errors and the bus schedule was disrupted. It has occurred.

The present invention was devised in view of these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a bus operation instruction device that can prevent disruptions to the bus schedule due to errors in memorizing bus time information by crew members. It is in.

In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention compares the predetermined service start time with the current time, and depending on the comparison result, issues an alert that the service start time has arrived or is approaching the service start time. It is configured to give an audible warning.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 2 is an external view showing an example of the bus operation instruction device according to the present invention, which is roughly divided into a staff card 1 and an alarm device 2.

As shown in the figure, the staff card 1 has the name of the stop and entry/exit times for the corresponding service schedule on the front.

In addition to recording operation time information such as turn-around point time, an information recording section 10 is provided in another section for storing operation timetable information indicating the distinction of the operation timetables.

The method for recording the schedule information in the information recording section 10 is such that the recorded contents can be read using any one of optical, contact, and magnetic means.

The alarm device 2 has a time display section 20 and a control information display section 21 above its surface, and has an insertion slot 22 for the staff card 1 below its surface.

Note that FIG. 2 shows the state in which the staff card 1 is inserted from the insertion slot 22, and the bus schedule information recorded in the information recording section 10 can be read by pressing the button on the reading section 23 provided near the time display section 200. be read.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the circuit configuration of the alarm device 20, which includes an operation time information memory 24 that stores operation time information for all operation schedules operated by one business office, and outputs current time information. Based on the operation timetable information read from the staff card 1 in the reading section 23, the clock section 25 reads out the operation time information corresponding to the operation timetable information from the operation time information memory 24, and reads out the operation time information corresponding to the operation timetable information from the operation time information memory 24. Based on the comparison results, a warning signal to warn that the service start time has arrived and an alarm signal to warn that the service start time is approaching is output. an arithmetic unit 26 that transfers control information to be notified to the crew in response to the control information display unit 21; an alarm device 27 that generates an alarm sound based on the alarm signal; Program memory 2 that stores information representing the time difference between the preliminary warning and the main warning with respect to the program and service start time, information representing the interval between warning sounds, etc.
It consists of 8.

Note that the operation time information memory 24 and the program memory 28 are composed of non-volatile memories such as ROM, but information can be written to these memories by opening the back cover 29 and using electrodes provided in this opening. It is done.

In the bus operation instruction device configured in this way, when the crew member receives the staff card 1 for the bus route he or she is to operate from the staff at the bus office, he inserts the staff card 1 into the alarm device 2 and then Board the designated bus.

When the staff card 1 is inserted into the alarm device 2, the following operations are executed for the alarm device 2.

1. The reading section 23 is the information recording section 1 of the staff card 1.
The operation timetable information is read from 0, and this information is sent to the calculation unit 26.
Transfer to.

Then, based on the operation timetable information supplied from the reading section 23, the calculation section 26 reads out the operation time information of the operation timetable corresponding to the operation timetable information from the operation time information memory 24.

Thereafter, this operating time information is compared with the current time information output from the clock section 25.

In this case, if the preliminary warning generation time for the predetermined service start time is set, for example, to "5 minutes before", the calculation unit 2
6 outputs a warning signal for issuing a preliminary warning 15 minutes before the predetermined operation start time.

In addition, if the generation time of the main warning for the predetermined service start time is set to, for example, 11 minutes before the predetermined service start time, the calculation unit 26 generates an alarm signal to issue the main warning 11 minutes before the predetermined service start time. Output.

As a result, even if the crew member does not accurately memorize the operation time information, the driver can start operating the bus at the predetermined operation start time by using the preliminary warning or main warning issued by the alarm device 27.

As a result, disruption of the service schedule can be prevented.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent disruption of the bus schedule, efficiently manage the timetable of the bus schedule, and reduce the burden on the passengers.
