Description

Train crew calling system and its control method {SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CALLING A TRAIN CREW}

The present invention relates to a crew calling device of a train, and in particular, when a passenger presses a call button installed in a seat, the seat number and passenger number of the passenger making the call are transmitted to the crew through wireless communication, where the crew member is in the train. This is to accurately indicate the location of the passenger who made the call.

As is well known, the train, which is a means of mass transportation, has a problem that a small number of crews protect and guide a large number of passengers, so that a small number of crews cannot take care of all passengers.

Therefore, each passenger car is provided with a communication device for dialogue between the passenger and the crew for emergency handling and civil complaint handling.

That is, an interphone consisting of a microphone, a speaker, and a call button is wired between each passenger car and a locomotive, and when a passenger's call is made, a communication channel for the interphone is formed to have a conversation.

Second, there is a problem in that the use of the interphone to occupy the passage, causing inconvenience to other passengers, and third, the passengers and passengers of the calling passengers do not know the position of the passenger to get to the passengers There were problems such as asking the passenger number, seat number, etc. one by one.

In addition, the conventional communication device is a simple connection between a locomotive and a passenger car for constructing a wired interphone circuit, so that when a crew member other than an engineer is located at a place other than the locomotive, it is impossible to immediately answer the passenger's call. Of course, since the connection is wired, there was a problem that the inspection and repair of the communication line is not easy when the vehicle is formed.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, in particular, after installing a wireless call button (or wired call button) in the seat of each passenger, the user presses the call button to call the crew, passengers The boarding passenger number and seat number are automatically transmitted to the crew by wireless, so that the crew member can easily contact the passenger by accurately indicating the position of the passenger who made the call wherever he is on the train.

That is, in-vehicle devices consisting of a radio call button (or a wired call button) and a radio transmitting device having different identification numbers are installed in each passenger's seat, and the crew member receives the seat number and the passenger number of the called passenger. Carrying the device, the locomotive is to inform the crew through the wireless communication the seat number and passenger number of the passenger who made the call by installing an engine device for receiving the signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device and transmits it to the terminal device. At this time, the engine device automatically identifies the organization order of the in-vehicle device from the train formation information and automatically assigns the number of the passenger cars.
