The input means 15 is, for example, an operator OP
Is used to set a time zone in which the simulation is to be performed in the operation management means 16 or to set a limit value in the temporary speed limit data table 25. The temporary speed limit is, for example,

The output means 22 inputs the travel record and the performance diagram from the travel record data table 23 and the performance diagram data table 38, respectively, and outputs them to the information providing device 14 in the train 1.

With the functions of the train running simulation device 12 and the information providing device 14 of the train driving support device configured as described above, the operation of each train is performed as much as possible in accordance with the schedule. For example, the station where a certain train 1 should stop is station A, station B
It is assumed that the station 1 and the station C are running, and the train 1 is running before the station B with a slight delay from the scheduled time. In such a case, the train running simulation device 12 simulates the running of the train 1 between the B station and the C station so that the train 1 catches up with the time of the planned timetable as much as possible, and transmits various data including the actual timetable as information.

FIG. 3 differs from FIG. 1 in that the train traveling simulation device 12 includes a route section reservation unit 39. The route section reservation means 39 performs setting so that only a train reserved in advance for a certain time zone of a certain section is allowed to run. For example,
When performing route construction, etc., it is necessary to ensure both the operation of trains and the safety of construction workers, so such reservations must be carefully set in consideration of the operation of the entire system, and strict Is required to be complied with.
In the present embodiment, such a reservation can be easily set by the function of the route section reservation means 39, and information of the set reservation is quickly and thoroughly known to all trains running on the route. .

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the train driving support device according to the third embodiment. FIG. 4 is different from FIG. 3 in that the train traveling simulation device 12 includes a route section securing unit 40. The route section securing means 40 prohibits the setting of the reservation for the other trains other than the trains to be reserved, when there is a situation in which the train must travel in the reserved section, and It is intended to give priority to the train traveling in that section. For example, when the route section reservation means 39 is trying to make a reservation to permit traveling in a certain section of a section only for the train R1 and another train R2 is already approaching the section at a high speed. Consider In such a case, if the reservation by the route section reservation means 39 is executed as it is, the train R2 enters the reserved section in time even if the brake is applied at that time, while the train R1 Also enters the reserved section as scheduled without noticing the entry of the train R2, which may lead to a major accident. By providing the route section securing means 40, it is possible to prohibit the reservation of the route section reservation means 39 in such a case, and it is possible to avoid the possibility of a large accident occurring due to the route reservation.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the train driving support device according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 5 differs from FIG. 4 in that the train traveling simulation device 12 and the information providing device 14 have CG output means 41 and CG output means 42, respectively. The operator OP and the driver M are provided with a great deal of information, and the operator OP and the driver M must make accurate and prompt decisions based on the information. Much of this information consists of letters, symbols,
Alternatively, the information is given by a lighting display of an instrument lamp, a voice, or the like, but it may be difficult for the operator OP and the driver M to comprehensively grasp the situation by combining the information. In such a case, the CG output means 41 and 42 provide the situation expected to occur from now on as CG (computer graphics) image information created based on these many pieces of information, and provide the operator OP and the driver M with the information. A specific image can be recalled. Therefore, the operator OP and the driver M can make an accurate and prompt decision.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the train driving support device according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 6 differs from FIG. 5 in that the information providing device 14 does not have the CG output unit 42 and the train 1 has an automatic driving device 43 mounted thereon. This automatic driving device 43 is a train driving simulator 1
2, the train 1 can be operated on behalf of the driver M. However, at present, unmanned railway trains are not allowed,
In order to monitor the operation of the automatic driving device 43, the driver M needs to board the train 1.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the automatic driving device 43 in FIG. As shown in this figure, the automatic driving device 43 includes a travel time calculation means 44, a target speed calculation means 45, a speed change position calculation means 46, a position / speed correction means 47, an operation command means 48, a reference travel time data table 49. , And a speed limit data table 50.

The reference travel time data table 49 records the reference travel time between stations based on the actual timetable from the train travel simulation device 12, and the speed limit data table 50 stores the limit travel time based on various conditions. Speed is recorded.

The running time calculating means 44 calculates the running time Trun based on the current time and the data of the reference running time data table 49 using the following equation (1).

Trun = {Tah (n) −Tpt (n + 1)} (1) where, Trun: running time [sec] Tah: actual station departure time [sec] Tpt: actual station arrival time [sec] n: Station number.

Next, the target speed calculating means 45 inputs the running time Trun calculated by the running time calculating means 44 and the reference running time Tref from the reference running time data table 49, and uses the following equation (2). The target speed correction value Vf is calculated.

Vf = {Trun (n) −Tref (n)} × Pf (n) × Rtf (n) (2) where, Vf: target speed correction value Trun: running time [sec] Tref: reference running Time [sec] Pf: Correction value based on running distance Rtf: Correction value based on running resistance (rail slope, curve, etc.).

At this time, the target speed calculation means 45 sets various speed limits with reference to the speed limit data table 50, and sets the target speed correction value V within the speed limit range.
f is calculated. Examples of the speed limit include, for example, a limit based on a preset section maximum speed, a speed limit based on a curve or a gradient of a rail, a speed limit according to a reference target speed, a speed limit using a switch, and a speed limit using a temporary speed setting. Etc.

The speed change position calculating means 46 calculates the calculation result from the target speed calculating means 45 and the signal system controller 9.
And a signal from the speedometer 13 to calculate the position where the speed of the train 1 should be changed. That is, the speed change position calculating means 46 calculates a brake start position for obtaining a corresponding speed of the signal indication when the signal indication changes, and for stopping at the station when stopping at the station. Calculate the brake start position.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the correspondence between the running position of the train and the speed change in such a case. In this figure, when the signal display changes while the train 1 is traveling at the speed VH, the brake is applied by a distance HC from the position HCS, and the train 1 decelerates to the speed VL at a position just a margin XY away from the signal position X1. . Then, the train 1 further decelerates from the position XST before the stop station, and finally stops at the stop position XS.

In this case, the speed change position calculating means 46
The brake start position, that is, the speed change position HC is calculated using the following equations (3) and (4).

HC = (VH ² −VL ² ) / (2α + Rt) (3) HCS = X ¹ − (HC + XY) (4) where Hcs: speed change position [km] Hc: brake distance [km] Xy : allowed distance [km] X1: traffic position [km] VH: train current speed [km] VL: speed reduced from now [km / h] alpha: deceleration [km / h ^2] Rt: is the correction value by the train resistance .

The position / speed correction means 47 inputs the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation means 45 and the speed change position calculated by the speed change position calculation means 46, and provides these values from the train running simulation device 12. The correction is performed based on data such as the station-specific speed limit.

The operation command means 48 receives a target speed and a speed change position corrected by the position / speed correction means 47 and a current speed from the speedometer 13 and inputs an operation command to the control device (not shown). Output to

According to the fifth embodiment having the above configuration, the train 1 can be operated by the automatic driving device 43, so that the labor of the driver M can be greatly reduced and more accurate. It becomes possible to operate the train along the planned schedule.

It is more suitable for installing a new substation, installing a station, or increasing the number of trains than using it at a railway training center.

In general, the amount of electric power at a substation depends on the train operation. Therefore, when creating a schedule, it is necessary to take care that the amount of power consumed during running the train does not exceed the maximum power supply of the substation. For example, when a train climbs a long sloping road with a large slope in a route section, the power consumption increases.

Next, the simulated electric energy calculation means 58 uses the control model for the rectifier in the substation to generate
Boundary conditions at the time of AC system network calculation are calculated (step 5), and further, calculation on the AC system power flow is performed (step 6). Then, it is determined whether or not the calculation result of the DC / AC network converges to a constant value (step 7). If not, the calculation condition of the DC network is updated (step 8). The calculations in steps 3 to 6 are performed again, and the determination is repeated. Thereafter, if the calculation result converges to a constant value, it is determined whether or not the simulation has been completed (step 9).
