Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for dynamic control of a stopping location for a means of public transport and for informing one or more travellers waiting for the means of public transport at this stopping location, and to a system for application thereof.
  • stopping process' refers to the sequence of stopping, passengers alighting and boarding and subsequent departure of a means of public transport.
  • the desire here is not only to save time, but also to make alighting and boarding safer and more comfortable for the travellers, and to possibly improve punctuality.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method and system wherein the stopping process is further optimized.
  • the method ensures that the travellers can already take up an optimum position before the transport means has arrived.
  • the stopping process i.e. the sequence of stopping, passengers alighting and boarding and departure of the train, requires a shorter period of time.
  • the method comprises the step of showing the transport means data in substantially actual size at the stopping location.
  • 'Actual size' here relates only to the dimension in longitudinal direction of the stopping location.
  • the transport means data shown at the stopping location prior to the stopping process display further carriage functions.
  • carriage functions which preferably comprise one or more of the functions 'class designation', 'silence compartment', 'cycle access' and 'disabled access', provides the travellers with extra information which can further enhance the stopping process.
  • a traveller who is for instance travelling with a cycle can already familiarize him/herself before the transport means arrives with the location of the entry door where he/she can enter the transport means with the cycle.
  • the transport means data shown at the stopping location prior to the stopping process display personal traveller information comprising at least positions of seat rows.
  • a further advantageous embodiment is obtained when the method comprises the step of showing the optimum safe escape route at the stopping location during a calamity.
  • the escape routes are preferably shown in animated manner and modified to the specific situation. If cameras are available, information about the platform occupancy is preferably taken into consideration in order to utilize the escape routes in optimal manner. It is thus possible to envisage that, instead of being guided to the closest emergency exit, a determined group of people is guided to an emergency exit a little further away since, given the occupancy, this would be expected to result in a more rapid throughflow. Congestion at a determined emergency exit can thus be prevented.
  • the method comprises the step of generating an acoustic signal close to the door positions expected at the stopping position. This is optionally possible by means of an acoustic signal via a personal device such as a smart phone.
  • the method comprises the step of recording the number of travellers alighting from and boarding the transport means during the stopping process.
  • this recorded number of alighting and boarding travellers is used to predict the congestion in a determined part of the transport means, and this predicted congestion is preferably shown as additional transport means data to travellers at the stopping position of a subsequent stopping location.
  • the method further comprises the step of transmitting the desired stopping position to the means of public transport, the possibility is created of varying the stopping position of the means of public transport at the stopping location. Tn order to be able to show the expected door positions in advance to the travellers it is necessary to know the formation of the transport means and what the stopping position will be. If the desired stopping position can be made known to the transport means, extra flexibility is created and a stopping position which is optimal for a specific vehicle formation can be transmitted.

  • a second zone 4 which faces toward the transport means side.
  • the invention is elucidated with reference to an application with a rail-related transport means 12, more specifically a train 12.
  • Beam-like body 1 is arranged here between the platform which forms the stopping location 10 and the track 14 on which train 12 travels. Travellers 18 waiting for train 12 on platform 10 can in this way view information shown in first zone 2 of display device 1, relating for instance to expected door positions 24 of the next train 12 due which will arrive at this platform 10 ( Figure 2). This information enables the travellers to walk to an expected door position 24 before train 12 arrives and to wait there until train 12 arrives ( Figure 3). Because some of the travellers 18 can and will already prepare in this way for the imminent stopping process, this stopping process will progress more quickly. This also improves the punctuality of the timetable.
  • an operator 16 i.e. the driver 16 of the transport means 12, is responsible for stopping the train 12.
  • the side of display device 1 facing toward train 12 comprises a second zone 4 on which information relevant for the operator of train 12 can be displayed.
  • Figure 4 shows a detailed view of train 12 in which the eyes of operator 16 look via arrow K in the direction of second zone 4 of display device 1.

  • the end surfaces of beam-like body 1 are provided with means for detecting and/or signalling to arriving and departing trains 12.
  • operator 16 has stopped train 12 at a point where he sees a stopping position/halting point 28 displayed visually in fourth zone 8.
  • Shown in the front view of train 12 in figure 9 is that display device 1 is arranged between platform 10 and track 14 on which train 12 is standing.
  • First zone 2 is directed toward the travellers on the platform and also lies at an angle relative to platform 10. This angle on the one hand ensures that travellers 18 on the platform look substantially perpendicularly at first zone 2.
  • An additional advantage is that a first zone 2 lying at an angle stands out less from some distance, thereby preventing a train station with multiple parallel platforms having a visually confusing appearance.
  • the beam-like body has on the underside a third zone 6 between first zone 2 and second zone 4. It is particularly advantageous for counting means to be provided in this third zone 6 which are directed downward for the purpose of counting the number of travellers 18 leaving and entering the train. Using this information a prediction can be made in a central control unit 30 ( Figure 12) of the congestion in determined compartments of the train, and this can be utilized at a subsequent station in order to also give the travellers 18 there an indication of the congestion in the compartments which will stop close to the expected door positions 24.
  • Figure 10 further shows that the beam4ike body has on the upper side a fourth zone 8 between first zone 2 and second zone 4.
  • lighting is arranged in this fourth zone 8 which can illuminate the station concourse indirectly and thus creates pleasant indirect lighting conditions which can contribute toward safety in the station concourse.
  • the system is also particularly suitable for disabled persons, in particular the visually impaired, who can already take their time in seeking out a position close to an expected door position 24 before a train 12 arrives.
  • a plurality of loudspeakers 34 can be arranged in, at or close to display device 1 which emit a sound if an expected door position 24 is located there ( Figure 11).
  • the cameras of the system are preferably utilized to form a substantially complete image of stopping location 10 so that possible calamities and undesirable situations can be detected in good time.
  • the images obtained by the cameras are preferably analyzed in automatic manner, for instance by central control unit 30, whereby aggression or another panic situation can be identified. This identified situation is then transmitted automatically to a central control room for assessment and information. It is also possible to envisage the system responding autonomously by on the one hand showing visual information relating to the situation on the visual means, such as a warning or order, and on the other broadcasting auditive information via one or more loudspeakers at the position of the situation, optionally in combination with each other.
  • the lighting arranged in fourth zone 8 is adapted by a control unit, such as central control unit 30, to the platform occupancy prevailing at that moment. Energy can on the one hand thus be saved by local dimming of the lighting when there are no people 18 on the associated part of platform 10. The sense of safety can on the other hand be enhanced by conversely increasing the degree of lighting when there are people 18 present on the associated part of platform 10.
  • figure 12 shows a schematic representation of the system according to the invention, wherein a central control unit, which if desired is in 'the cloud' , receives at least vehicle data V from traffic control or other systems.
  • These transport means data relate for instance to properties such as formation and/or door positions, but also the spatial position and a time unit.
  • central control unit 30 calculates the expected congestion in the compartments, carriage functions and so on.
  • Travellers 18 who via a smart phone, tablet or computer provide additional data to central control unit 30, such as their spatial position, (travel) itinerary, time unit etc., can be provided - as supplement to display device 1 - with personal (travel) information.
  • This personal (travel) information can be consulted for instance via an app on a smart phone 32 and comprises one or more of the following options: active navigation from random location to a determined position at the stopping location; a ticketing system; choice of destination and/or travel times; display of transport means information such as formation and occupancy; and choice of compartment class and seat.
  • the invention provides the option of integrating determined assets (such as speakers and security cameras), whereby the platform can be managed in an innovative manner.
