Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention duplicates train information by providing a train-day pattern for each train, and assigning a separate identification code to trains that run across the dates. The present invention relates to a train schedule creation support system that can be registered without any interruption and that can create a seamless schedule throughout 24 hours.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a train schedule is created, the line segments to be created are divided into several groups, each of which is a train surface, and a train schedule which is a basic train operation for each train surface. Had been created. The train schedule includes a basic schedule consisting of weekday schedules and holiday schedules,
The basic schedule includes an actual schedule that is actually operated on a daily basis including a temporary train. For example, in the case of a line section between Yonehara Station and Kakogawa Station on the Tokaido / Sanyo Main Line, a diamond plane between Maibara Station and Kyoto Station, a diamond plane between Kyoto Station and Kobe Station, and a diamond plane between Kobe Station and Kakogawa Station. And weekly schedules, holiday schedules, and implementation schedules for each schedule. In other words, for each diamond type on each diamond surface,
A trained train was created by arranging a specialist person, and the train schedule was input to the parent computer that manages these trains for each train and stored.

[0003]

As described above, a conventional train diagram is created by a trained expert who individually creates a train diagram for each diagram type on a diagram surface obtained by dividing one line section into a plurality. In addition, information on a large number of trains operated daily throughout weekdays and holidays was duplicated and registered. Therefore, an area for storing data of a computer that manages them has increased, and a large-capacity computer has been required. In addition, these registered files cannot be taken out as continuous information, and the information for each diamond surface cannot be mutually taken in and used for creating a diamond. In addition, the schedule on the day of operation must be created by incorporating the information on the temporary train into the basic schedule, and it is necessary to create the train schedule information by batch processing every day, which is a cumbersome operation.

[0004] Further, one train surface often includes stations / lines other than those in charge of the creator, and their ranges are determined based on information created by persons other than the creator. It was necessary to confirm that the data was correctly created from another diagram output to the user and the operation timetable. In addition, for trains that operate over multiple days, make adjustments at border stations, etc., with the person in charge of creating other lines, and create a day-over train correctly as one train Otherwise, there is a risk that a diagram creation error may occur, such as the same train operating on the date of the previous day.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been improved and eliminated in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is provided with train information in which each train has an operating day pattern.
To provide a support system that can display or create various types of timetables from one file and that can create a train timetable without interruption by giving information over the day It is.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means of claim 1 employed in the present invention is to provide a train information called a streak with an operating day pattern for each train so that weekday schedules and holidays can be set. This is a train diagram creation support system characterized by registering in the train database as the same file without discriminating a diagram type such as a diagram. Since one train registered in the train database has a driving day pattern of the day of the week when it is actually operated, when creating a train schedule, the train information called a line registered in the train database is one for each train Since it is not necessary to register the same train redundantly for each diagram type as in the related art, the data amount can be significantly reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by outputting train information in accordance with a driving day pattern, it is possible to display or create a diagram for each type of weekday or holiday from the same train database. Claim 1 made possible
Is a train schedule creation support system described in (1). Since the train information called a line has the operation day pattern, if the train information is output for each operation day pattern, the target train diagram can be displayed or created instantaneously.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a train schedule creation support system according to the first aspect, which is capable of displaying or creating a train schedule on an actual day of operation from an operation day pattern. Since the train information of the temporary train and the like is also registered with the operation day pattern, it is possible to instantaneously display or create the actual operation timetable.

[0009] The means of claim 4 adopted by the present invention is that a train operated over a date can be made to have a seamless diamond through 24 hours by adding information encoded in an identification code. It is a train schedule creation support system according to item 1. Since a train that straddles the date is provided with a driving date pattern and an identification code that straddles the date, it is possible to instantaneously create a diagram without erroneous dates.

[0010] The means of claim 5 adopted by the present invention can read train information of a train database of another line section, and simultaneously display or create a diagram of information of a plurality of files. This is a train schedule creation support system described in (1). Since the operation day pattern and the identification code extending across the dates are given, it is possible to call and display the train information of another line section, and to create a single diagram or timetable as a whole. It is also possible.

The display device 3 is a display such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT. The first storage device 4 is an internal storage device such as a hard disk, and stores information input from the input device 1 and information read from the second storage device 5 and performs various calculations and calculation processes. The second storage device 5 is a means for storing station information necessary for creating a train schedule, information on the time between stations, running day patterns, and the like, and the created train schedule information, such as a RAM, a magnetic disk, It is realized by an optical disk or the like. The output device 6 is a means for outputting a timetable, statistical data, a diagram, and the like created based on the created train diagram information, and is realized by, for example, a page printer, an electrostatic plotter, an ink jet plotter, or the like. .

Next, the procedure of the work menu in this system will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The work menu of the present invention is roughly classified into the following three. (1) Menu for creating train schedules based on operating day patterns (2) Menu for creating 24-hour schedules based on day straddling codes (3) Menu for reading other line sections with reference to operating day patterns and day straddling codes First, (1) The procedure of the train schedule creation menu based on the driving day pattern will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 8.
FIG. 2 shows a case where a diagram of one train called one line information is created. Therefore, in order to complete the entire train schedule, it is necessary to create one line information as shown in FIG. 2 for all the trains operated in the line section. The operation is performed in step S101
, Information necessary for setting the train schedule, such as the departure station, arrival station, departure time, arrival time, standard travel time, and standard stop time of the corresponding train, is input from the input device 2.

Then, in the next step S102,
Information corresponding to a driving day pattern set in advance as shown in FIG. 8 is input. The operation day patterns are classified into items such as Monday to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, before holidays, before holidays, holidays, and the like, and the corresponding trains are operated on which days of the week. It is. In this way, by giving the operating day pattern to one train, whether it is a weekday schedule or a holiday schedule, it is sufficient to register it as one train information in the same file, and the duplication of data is Absent.

When the setting of the line creation condition and the setting of the operating day pattern for one train are completed in this way,
As shown in S103, a creation instruction is executed. And
In S104, an information check of the input condition is performed. S
Step 104 is a step for checking whether the information set in S101 and S102 is correctly set in the train data creation. If the input condition is correct, the next S
Shift to 106, and if wrong, return to S101 and return to S
The input operation at 101 and S102 is repeated to input correctly.

S106 is the departure station set in S101,
Set the arrival time, departure time, arrival time and standard travel time, standard stop time, travel time between stations, stop time at each station, and set all stations from the departure station to the arrival station. This is a step of creating line information (train diagram) of one train. In the next S107, the train information created in S106 is added to S1.
In this step, the operation day pattern set in 02 is added and registered in the first storage device 4 and the second storage device 5.
In the following, the operations of S101 to S107 described above are repeated, and all the trains operated in the line section are registered for each train. Thereby, it is possible to create a train schedule for each line section. The train schedule created in this way includes the contents of all types of schedules such as weekday schedules, holiday schedules, and implementation schedules. In addition, compared to the case where train schedules are created for each conventional train type, the registered information does not require duplication of train schedules, and the efficiency of train schedule creation can be improved. Moreover, there is no duplicate registration of train information, the capacity to be stored in the storage devices 4 and 5 can be reduced, and the storage devices 4 and 5 can be effectively used.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a work menu for displaying a train corresponding to a driving day pattern such as a weekday or a holiday, and checking whether or not the created train data is correctly input. is there. The trains that have been checked are sequentially deleted in this work menu, and a check is performed for all trains. First of all,
In S201, the type of the train schedule to be displayed is selected and set from the operation day pattern list shown in FIG. And S
The display instruction of the operation day pattern set in 202 is performed. S2
At 03, train data is read from the second storage device 5 based on the display instruction at S202. Next, S20
The presence or absence of the line information read in step 4 is determined. If there is line information, the process shifts to step S205. The contents of S208 will be described later.

In S205, it is checked whether or not the driving day pattern indicated and displayed in S201 matches the driving day pattern of the read train data. The check can be performed by a method using an input code of a driving day pattern or a method of performing each item of the driving day pattern shown in FIG. When the check is performed only by the input code, the corresponding train is displayed only when all the items shown in FIG. 8 match. In the method of checking for each item shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to selectively display only when all of the items match, or display when some of the items match. It is possible to create a more easily viewable diagram by devising, for example, changing the color / line type and displaying the train data that matches all items and the train data that partially matches.

In S206, as a result of the check in S205, it is determined whether or not the display condition is satisfied. If not, the flow returns to S203 to read the next train data, and if so, shifts to S207. In S207, based on the train data after the check, a time vector point at each station and a time point at each station are displayed in order to display the time on the horizontal axis (X axis) and the train timetable on the vertical axis (Y axis), Calculate the station vector points. Then, this is calculated for all the stations. In S208, the train points are output to the display device 3 or the output device 6 based on the vector points for each station calculated in S207, and the train points are displayed by sequentially drawing the vector points by lines.

Next, a method of displaying / creating a train schedule on a real day from the operation day pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
This is because some trains, such as seasonal trains and temporary trains, are operated only for a specific period or day of the week. Diamonds are displayed / created individually. First, in S301, a date (actual day), which is a display condition of a calendar, is input from the input device 2, and S3 is entered.
02, the display instruction is given. In S303, the real-day state of the set display condition is determined. This is to acquire from the calendar, the display day of the actual day of the week and, if the actual day is a holiday or not a holiday, whether it is the day before the holiday, the day before the holiday, or the like. Next, in S304, a driving day pattern is set based on the acquired information. The setting of the operation day pattern includes a method of acquiring a code of the operation day pattern that matches from the operation day pattern list shown in FIG. 8 and a method of setting valid data in an item corresponding to each item. S
305 reads train data from the second storage device 5,
If there is data, shift to S307; otherwise, S
Shift to 310. The details of the operation in S310 will be described later.

In step S307, a check is performed to determine whether or not the operation day pattern corresponds to the actual day set in step S304. The check method includes a method in which only the operation day code is checked based on the operation day pattern set in S304, and a method in which each item shown in FIG. 8 is checked. In the case of checking only the operation day code, the set operation day code and the operation day code of the read train data are checked. When a check is performed for each item, a check is performed to determine whether all items match or a check is performed to determine whether some items match. The check method of all items or some items can be selected. Then, in S308, the presence or absence of the corresponding driving day is confirmed. If there is a driving day, the process shifts to S309, and if there is no driving day, the process shifts to S305 to read the line information of the next train. In step S309, the above-described step S207 is performed.
Calculate the vector points of the X and Y axes in the same manner as in the above operation. In S310, the streak display is performed in the same manner as in S208. As a result, it is possible to create a train schedule of the actual driving day from one train data.

Next, (2) the work contents of the 24-hour diagram creation menu based on the day span code will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure for creating a 24-hour diamond. S901 to S906
The operation contents up to are the same as the operation contents of S101 to S106, and the duplicate description is omitted here. S9
07 is 0 am in the morning as a result of calculating the train data in S906.
When the train data that straddles the time (straddling the day) is created, the code “0” for each station before 0:00 indicates that the pattern is the same as the driving day pattern set in S902. Is set, and for a station that crosses midnight, S90
Since it is the next day for the driving day pattern set in 2,
A code “1” indicating that each item of the operation day pattern in S902 advances by one day is set. Note that this day straddling code can be set when setting the train data creation conditions in S901.

For example, if the train to be operated is Sunday,
The operating day pattern of the train straddling 0:00 is Monday, and the day straddling code is a train of “1”. This is because the actual train starts on Sunday, but the station after 0:00 operates on Monday. In this case, if the train schedule creator is different before and after 0:00, the train schedule creator corresponding to the line section until 0:00 is created as a holiday schedule for Sunday operation, but the train schedule creator after 0:00 is in charge. May be registered as a train operated on Monday in the line in charge and may be erroneously created as a weekday schedule. This is a measure to prevent this. Next S90
In S8, a driving day pattern may be added to the line information and registration may be performed as in the case of S107.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a function of displaying the created train data on a train schedule corresponding to the operating day such as a weekday or a holiday in the 24-hour schedule creation menu. This is the same as the case shown in FIG. The work contents of S401 to S404 are described in S201 to S20.
4 is the same as the work content. In S405, when checking the display operation day pattern and the operation date pattern of the read train data, correction is performed using the straddling code to enable display according to the actual operation day of the train. The following steps after S406 are the same as the steps after S206 shown in FIG. 3, and a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the contents of the (3) other line section diagram reading work menu with reference to the operation day pattern and the day straddling code will be described with reference to FIG. This other line section schedule reading work menu is used to check whether the transfer connection to the train on the other line section goes smoothly at the corresponding station on the work timetable, or to check the train This is for confirming whether or not the same train has been created as one line by using a file between persons in charge when the schedule is created. In step S501, when the train diagram is displayed on the display device 3 and the information of the train diagram created on another file is to be fetched and simultaneously displayed, a line segment to be additionally fetched is included. This is a step for specifying another file. S502
Is a step of instructing reading of information created in the other file specified in S501, and is actually read in the next step S503. S504 is a step of checking the presence or absence of the read data. If there is data, the process shifts to S505. If there is no data, the process shifts to S510.

In step S505, a check is performed to determine whether or not a station corresponding to the station indicated by the already displayed train diagram exists in the read train data (streak information). In step S506, as a result of checking in step S505, if there is no corresponding station, the process returns to step S503 to read the next line information.
Shift to 507. In S507, a check is performed to determine whether or not there is a train running as the same train in the actual train operation among the train data and the read train data of the train diagram already displayed. The check method is based on the conditions such as the train number that is uniquely set between the same stations, the type of stop / pass to stop or pass at the connecting station of each train schedule, and the pattern of the same operation day. Is determined. If it is determined that the trains are the same, an internal serial number is set in the display file and the file of the other line section in S509, and the internal train number of the other party is assigned to the corresponding train data in both files, so that the connection partner Can be recognized. By doing this, you can perform the reverse of arrival time and departure time, check the arrival and departure lines, check the arrival and departure lines, etc. at the transfer connection station on another line section or the connection station on the divided diagram on the same line section, A mutual check between the parties is possible.
