Method and arrangement for distributing persons in a passenger train

Abstract

For a respective passenger car (PW1, PW2, PW3), a number (NP) of passengers situated therein and / or a number (NF) of available spaces is determined. A passenger flow simulation is initialized on the basis of the determined numbers (NP, NF) is provided. A multiplicity of potential directions (PL) of movement are furthermore determined, for which a multiplicity of direction of movement-specific movement profiles (BP) are read in. The initialized passenger flow simulation is then executed for a respective movement profile (BP), wherein a distribution value (VW) that rates a resultant passenger distribution (PV) is determined in each case. From the potential directions (PL) of movement, depending on the determined distribution values (VW), specific directions of movement are selected and are output as direction of movement indications (LH1, LH2, LH3) on passenger-specific and / or location-specific direction indicators (RI1, RI2, MO).

Description

Background technique [0001] In many passenger trains, finding a seat or a stand often becomes difficult or inconvenient because of frequent occurrences: failure of the reservation system, replacement trains running and / or overcrowding of the passenger train. In many cases, this difficulty is caused by channel congestion caused by the opposite direction of movement of the train passengers. This often leads to uneven loading of passenger trains, since there may be significantly more people in some passenger cars than in others, although the latter are still largely free. This can lead, inter alia, to an uneven utilization of the wearing components of the passenger train and to blocking of escape routes. Additionally, passengers may perceive this condition as a significant loss of comfort. [0002] In order to distribute train passengers more evenly to passenger trains, it is currently mostly announced via loudspeaker systems which passenger car cars still have seats or stands ...
