By using the data transmission line 2 by time division at a predetermined timing for each, various information is transmitted and received to and from the central control device 1.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of each of the terminal devices 11-14. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes data transmission with the central control unit 1 and reception in response to this data transmission. A control unit that controls each display 25 provided in the passenger compartment of the vehicle or in the deck passage based on the information.
2 is an RA for storing information received by data transmission
M and 23 are setting switches for outputting the set car numbers preset in the terminal devices 11 to 14.

Next, the number setting operation of the car according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a train car number setting operation in the central control device 1. Note that FIG.
In the above, it is assumed that a new train is formed from two trains each before and after the train that was originally a six-car train, and each terminal device 11-14
It is assumed that the setting switch 23 is set to the set car numbers “1”, “2”, “5”, and “6”, which are the car numbers in the initial formation.

Now, when a new train is formed and the power of the train is turned on, the central control device 1 responds to the terminal devices 11 to 14 of each car by setting the number car setting operation shown in FIG. Is started.

First, the central control unit 1 operates the terminal units 11
To 14 are sent to the data transmission path 2 with a read request for the car number of the initial train set by the setting switch 23 of each of the terminal devices 11-14, that is, the set car number (step 31).

Device terminals 11 to 1 provided in each vehicle
4 receives a command from the central control unit 1 via the data transmission line 2, analyzes it by the control unit 21, and executes a control operation according to the command. The command received as a result of the analysis is In the case of a set car number read request, after the output of the setting switch 23, that is, the set car number is read, this is returned to the data transmission line 2 at a predetermined timing.

The central control unit 1 has terminal units 11-14.
The set car numbers of the terminal devices 11 to 14 that are sequentially returned from the terminal device 11 to 14 are received (step 32), and then the displayed car number is displayed as a new car number for display with respect to each received set car number. Are assigned (step 33).

In the case where a new train set is formed as shown in FIG. 1, the central control unit 1 controls each terminal unit 11
"1""2" as the set car number corresponding to ~ 14
"5" and "6" are received.

Here, the set car numbers are generally arranged in ascending or descending order from the leading or trailing vehicle due to various constraints when the vehicle is organized.

Therefore, the central control unit 1 recognizes that this new train set is composed of four cars and, for each terminal unit 11-14, in order of the set car number of each of these terminal units. , As a new car number for display, that is, the displayed car number, consecutive numbers "1""2""3"
Assign “4”.

Next, the central control unit 1 sends the display car number setting individually to each of the terminal devices 11 to 14 in order to set the display car number assigned according to the set car number (step 34). ).

Each of the terminal devices 11 to 14 is a central control device 1.
The display car number setting from the vehicle is received via the data transmission line 2, and the display car number included in the received car number is read to obtain the RA.
The display car number stored in the RAM 22 will be referred to and displayed on each display device 25 stored in the M22 and controlled by each of the terminal devices 11 to 14 thereafter.

Therefore, "1", "2", and "3" are assigned to the vehicles of the new train set in correspondence with the terminal devices 11-14.
The car number of "4" is displayed in order.
