And an error file 10, an external input device 11 including an information processing device and a floppy disk device, and an external output device 12 including a color electrostatic plotter.

The registration file 7 is a file such as a relational database which holds basic diagram data including information such as train type, arrival / departure time at each station, and arrival / departure number line for each train number.

The facility management file 8 includes station information such as station name, distance from the starting point, stop line, etc., station information such as upslope, distance between stations, train number, train line symbol, nickname of train,
Train information such as arrival / departure number and train type, information about evacuation lines, effective length, information about blockage method, information about electrification section, information about substation location, information about number of blockage traffic lights, single track, double track It is a file that holds various types of data related to railway equipment, such as type information and information related to stop name information.

The error file 10 is a file for storing error information.

The data input unit 1 is means for inputting basic diagram data from the external input device 11 and storing it in the registration file 7. The data input unit 1 performs code conversion processing if there is a difference in internal code system between the basic diagram data on the external input device 11 and the basic diagram data to be registered in the registration file 7. Further, a configuration in which the external input device 11 is connected online or offline by a line or the like is adopted. In the case of offline connection, the external input device 11 is composed of a floppy disk device or the like. In the case of online connection, the external input device 11 is composed of an information processing device and inputs basic diagram data by file transfer or the like. The captured basic diagram data is stored in the registration file 7 for each route.

The data checking unit 2 is means for checking the validity of the basic diagram data in the registration file 7 input by the data input unit 1 and correcting the illegal data.
For example, while checking for obvious mistakes in arrival / departure times, overlapping train numbers, etc., positively detect logical errors by inspecting arrival / departure number lines, follow-up inspection at each station, and cross inspection at each station. To do. When an error is found, the error information is stored in the error file 10 and
When a message is sent to the CRT 9a to prompt the input and the correction information is input by operating the keyboard 9b or the mouse 9c in response to this, the incorrect data is corrected by the input correction information. By immediately correcting a simple data error to obtain normal data in this way, wasteful time for re-executing the process itself is saved.

The input parameter receiving section 6 is means for displaying windows and menus on the CRT 9a and for allowing the user to input various parameters relating to the train diagram to be created by operating the mouse 9c.
The parameters to be entered are parameters related to the created range such as line (line zone), station (station section) range, time range, and line color, line type, enforcement date, title, train up / down, train number. There are parameters related to editing such as the presence or absence of display and enlarged display.

The data conversion unit 3 is a basic diagram of the registration file 7 in the creation range indicated by the input parameter.

It is a means to create additional information (character information) such as train numbers and arrival numbers. Here, the time display symbol that represents the arrival and departure time in seconds is used because the ruled line is drawn every 2 minutes in the 2nd minute diagram, and the information in seconds is not known, and there is also a waiting time etc. For the purpose of expression, the symbols specified by each railway company are used. In addition, in order to prevent the time display symbol from overlapping with other lines, symbols, and character strings so that it does not become invisible, the fan-shaped area that is the background of the time display symbol is painted in white and other lines are displayed. Perform a process to erase.

The output conversion unit 4 adds station information and the like in the equipment management file 8 in the creation range indicated by the input parameter, the title indicated by the input parameter, the enforcement date, etc. to the data obtained by the data conversion unit 3. This is the output that creates the train diagram data.

The external output unit 5 converts the format of the train diagram data created by the output conversion unit 4 into the data format of the external output device 12 such as a color electrostatic plotter and uses the protocol of the external output device 12. It is a means for outputting to that.

The data conversion unit 3 indicates the arrival / departure time of each train in the basic diagram data of the registration file 7 corresponding to the creation range indicated by the notified input parameter, on the train diagram of a predetermined scale such as the second minute diagram. While converting to the above two-dimensional coordinate value, a predetermined time display symbol and its display position that represent the arrival time at the second unit are created. Also, the train number, arrival number, etc. are converted into character information and added to the diagram. Then, the output converter 4 is notified of these data.

In the output conversion unit 4, a line is drawn on the data obtained by the data conversion unit 3, that is, a position corresponding to the arrival time of each train number on the second minute diagram, for example, and the time display symbol is appropriately displayed.

The external output unit 5 converts the format of the notified train diagram data and outputs it to the external output device 12, and the external output device 12 draws a train diagram on a sheet according to the information.

[0031]

According to the train diagram creation device of the present invention described above, the following effects can be obtained.

Since the train diagram can be created semi-automatically, even a person who is not skilled in creating a diagram can do it.

Since an external output device outputs a train diagram in a unified font and symbols, an easy-to-read train diagram is obtained, and checking and the like are facilitated, so that an accurate train diagram can be obtained.

Since it is not necessary to carry out bookbinding, the labor of calibration can be saved, and since a slight correction can be dealt with by adding and correcting data, a train diagram can be created quickly. Therefore, the train diagram can be easily revised in a timely manner.

Since simple logical mistakes in the basic diagram data are automatically detected and can be corrected by interactive processing, it is possible to create a train diagram with less mistakes.
