Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a railway usage analysis device that analyzes the usage status of passengers who use railways. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, railway operators have been acquiring information about passenger movement using passenger boarding and alighting data (ticket gate passage data) obtained from automatic ticket gates. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a transportation utilization information analysis and display system that analyzes transportation utilization information from information recorded on an IC (Integrated Circuit) card and provides the information as useful information. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-20996 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-described conventional railway usage analysis device has the following problems. In other words, in the transportation usage information analysis and display system disclosed in the above publication, for example, for passengers who transfer across ticket gates of multiple railway companies, so-called two-latch transfers, each railway company only obtains its own boarding and disembarking information, making it difficult to obtain accurate movement information for each passenger.

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a railway usage analysis device, a railway usage analysis method, and a railway usage analysis program that can acquire and utilize movement information of passengers who use multiple railway companies. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A railway usage analysis device according to a first aspect of the present invention is a railway usage analysis device that analyzes the usage status of passengers using railways, and includes a ticket gate passage data acquisition unit and a data linking unit. The ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires data for each passenger who has passed through a ticket gate at a railway station, including two-latch transfer data for exiting a first ticket gate and passing through a separate second ticket gate. The data linking unit links the data acquired by the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit with information related to the railway station.

[0007] The ticket gate passage data acquired here includes, for example, data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of one railway company, which the ticket gate acquires from IC cards, magnetic tickets, etc., as well as data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of multiple railway companies. The information about the railway station includes, for example, the name of the railway company, the line, the latitude and longitude of the station, and information about the fare.

[0008] This allows us to grasp the boarding and disembarking stations of passengers traveling across the lines of multiple railway companies, not just those traveling within the lines of a single railway company, making it possible to obtain and utilize information on the movements of passengers who use multiple railway companies. As a result, more effective services can be provided to railway operators and passengers.

[0009] The railway usage analysis device of the second invention is the railway usage analysis device of the first invention, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires ticket gate passage data on the same day that the passenger passes through the ticket gate. This allows the ticket gate passage data for the day a passenger passes through the ticket gate to be obtained and used on the same day.

[0010] The railway usage analysis device of the third invention is the railway usage analysis device of the first or second invention, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires the ticket gate passage data for the day on the day after the day on which the passenger passed through the ticket gate. This allows the ticket gate passage data for the day a passenger passes through the ticket gate to be obtained and used the day after the pass.

[0011] A railway usage analysis device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a railway usage analysis device according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires ticket gate passage data when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the passenger passed through the ticket gate. This allows ticket gate passage data for the days when a passenger passed through a ticket gate to be acquired and used in a lump sum at the elapse of a predetermined period of time.

[0012] The railway usage analysis device of the fifth invention is a railway usage analysis device of any one of the first to fourth inventions, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires ticket gate passage data for one day on the day on which a passenger passes through the ticket gate. This allows us to obtain and use ticket gate passage data for the day on which a passenger passes through the ticket gate.

[0013] The railway usage analysis device of the sixth invention is a railway usage analysis device of any one of the first to fifth inventions, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires ticket gate passage data for one week prior to the day on which a passenger passes through a ticket gate. This allows passengers to obtain and use ticket gate passage data for one week prior to the day they passed through the ticket gate.

[0014] The railway usage analysis device of the seventh invention is a railway usage analysis device of any one of the first to sixth inventions, wherein the ticket gate passage data acquisition unit acquires ticket gate passage data for one month prior to the day on which a passenger passes through a ticket gate. This allows passengers to obtain and use ticket gate passage data for one month prior to the day they passed through the ticket gate.

[0015] The railway usage analysis device of the eighth invention is a railway usage analysis device of any one of the first to seventh inventions, and further includes a data classification unit that classifies ticket gate passage data into IC card data and magnetic ticket data. This allows ticket gate passage data to be separated into IC card data and magnetic ticket data, making it possible to select only the data necessary to obtain route information that spans the lines of multiple railway companies. Therefore, route information spanning multiple railway company lines can be obtained from the classified IC card data.

[0016] A railway usage analysis device according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is a railway usage analysis device according to any one of the first to eighth aspects of the present invention, wherein the information relating to railway stations includes the name of the railway company, the line, station location information, and information relating to fares. This allows information about railway companies, lines, station locations (latitude and longitude), and fares to be linked to ticket gate passage data as information about railway stations.

[0017] The railway usage analysis device of the 10th invention is a railway usage analysis device of any one of the first to 9th inventions, further comprising a display control unit that displays the results of the collaboration in the data collaboration unit on a display device. This allows information that links ticket gate passage data and station information to be displayed on a display device, thereby enabling, for example, railway companies to provide useful information.

[0018] A railway usage analysis device according to an eleventh aspect of the present invention is the railway usage analysis device according to any one of the first to tenth aspects of the present invention, further comprising a memory unit that stores information about railway stations. This allows the information about railway stations stored in the memory unit to be used in conjunction with ticket gate passage data, thereby providing useful information to railway companies and the like.

[0019] A railway usage analysis method according to a twelfth aspect of the present invention is a railway usage analysis method for analyzing the usage of passengers who use railways, and includes a ticket gate passage data acquisition step and a data linking step. In the ticket gate passage data acquisition step, data including two-latch transfer data in which a passenger exits a first ticket gate and passes through a second ticket gate is acquired as ticket gate passage data for each passenger who has passed through a ticket gate at a railway station. In the data linking step, the data acquired in the ticket gate passage data acquisition step is linked with information about the railway station.

[0020] The ticket gate passage data acquired here includes, for example, data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of one railway company, which the ticket gate acquires from IC cards, magnetic tickets, etc., as well as data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of multiple railway companies. The information about the railway station includes, for example, the name of the railway company, the line, the latitude and longitude of the station, and information about the fare.

[0021] This allows us to grasp the boarding and disembarking stations of passengers traveling across the lines of multiple railway companies, not just those traveling within the lines of a single railway company, making it possible to obtain and utilize information on the movements of passengers who use multiple railway companies. As a result, more effective services can be provided to railway operators and passengers.

[0022] A railway usage analysis program according to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention is a railway usage analysis program for analyzing the usage status of passengers using railways, and causes a computer to execute a railway usage analysis method including a ticket gate passage data acquisition step and a data linking step. In the ticket gate passage data acquisition step, data including two-latch transfer data in which a passenger exits a first ticket gate and passes through another second ticket gate is acquired as ticket gate passage data for each passenger who has passed through a ticket gate at a railway station. In the data linking step, the data acquired in the ticket gate passage data acquisition step is linked with information about the railway station.

[0023] The ticket gate passage data acquired here includes, for example, data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of one railway company, which the ticket gate acquires from IC cards, magnetic tickets, etc., as well as data on passing through ticket gates at stations on the lines of multiple railway companies. The information about the railway station includes, for example, the name of the railway company, the line, the latitude and longitude of the station, and information about the fare.

[0024] This allows us to grasp the boarding and disembarking stations of passengers traveling across the lines of multiple railway companies, not just those traveling within the lines of a single railway company, making it possible to obtain and utilize information on the movements of passengers who use multiple railway companies. As a result, more effective services can be provided to railway operators and passengers. [Effects of the Invention]

[0025] The railway usage analysis device according to the present invention can acquire and utilize movement information of passengers who use multiple railway companies. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] 4 is a graph showing an example of how data linked in the data linking unit of FIG. 1 is displayed on a display device. [Figure 4] 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in a railway usage analysis method performed by the railway usage analysis device of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] A railway usage analysis device 10 and a railway usage analysis method according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. In the present embodiment, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanation of well-known matters or redundant explanation of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessary redundancy in the following explanation and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the applicant provides the accompanying drawings and the following description to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present invention, and they are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0028] (1) Configuration of the railway usage analysis device 10 The railway usage analysis device 10 according to this embodiment analyzes railway usage using ticket gate passage data recorded on IC cards, magnetic tickets (paper tickets), etc. carried by passengers when they pass through the ticket gates 20a, 20b, 20c for each passenger, which data is acquired from multiple ticket gates 20a, 20b, 20c installed at multiple railway stations. As shown in FIG. 1 , the railway usage analysis device 10 includes a data acquisition unit (ticket gate passage data acquisition unit) 11, a data conversion and classification processing unit (data classification unit) 12, a data linking unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a display control unit 15.

[0029] Here, the multiple ticket gates 20a, 20b, and 20c shown in Figure 1 are automatic ticket gates that are installed, for example, at stations A, B, and C, respectively, and read the information recorded on the IC cards or magnetic tickets carried by passengers to determine whether or not each passenger is allowed to pass through. The passenger ticket gate passage data acquired at each ticket gate 20a, 20b, 20c is transmitted to the data server 21 when the passenger passes through the ticket gate 20a, 20b, 20c, and is stored as ticket gate passage OD (Origin-Destination) data.

[0030] In addition, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which a passenger can travel using a common ticket such as an IC card when traveling across lines operated by a plurality of railway operators. The data acquisition unit (ticket gate passage data acquisition unit) 11 acquires ticket gate passage data for each passenger stored in the data server 21 as ticket gate passage OD data 21a. The ticket gate passage data is data that compiles multiple trip data. Each trip data is a set of data that includes an entry record and a corresponding exit record. The entry record includes the entry station and the time when the passenger passed through the ticket gates 20a to 20c installed at the entry station. The exit record includes the exit station and the time when the passenger passed through the ticket gates 20a to 20c installed at the exit station. The entry record and the exit record are acquired at different locations and different times by the ticket gates 20a to 20c. The entry record and the exit record are stored on the data server 21 in a state where they form trip data by being linked to each other via ticket ID information assigned to each ticket used by the passenger.

[0031] Trip data indicates when a passenger entered and exited a station, identifying a single rail trip from entry to exit. A single trip corresponds one-to-one with a single "passenger" as its subject. For example, trip data showing travel from Station A to Station D in the early morning and trip data showing travel from Station D to Station A at night contain the same ticket ID information, and therefore are recognized as showing round-trip travel by the same person using a commuter pass. These two trips are defined as different trips by different "passengers" because the direction and time of travel are different.

[0032] In this embodiment, the data acquisition unit 11 acquires ticket gate passage data of railway stations included in lines of other railway companies that a passenger has previously passed through on the same day that the passenger passed through the ticket gate 20a, for example. This means that, for example, when a passenger passes through a ticket gate at a railway station operated by railway company A, data on the passenger's previous ticket gates at a railway station operated by another railway company B can be obtained, making it possible to accurately obtain information on the route the passenger took on that day.

[0033] The data acquiring unit 11 may acquire, for example, all the ticket gate passage data of all railway companies that the passenger passed through on the previous day at the timing when the passenger passed through the ticket gate 20a. In this case, it is possible to obtain the ticket gate data for the previous day all at once. In addition, if a predetermined period (for example, one week) has passed since the date on which the previous ticket gate passage data was acquired, the data acquisition unit 11 may acquire all ticket gate passage data within the predetermined period in one go.

[0034] Furthermore, for example, when passing through a ticket gate at the beginning of each month, the data acquiring unit 11 may acquire all of the ticket gate passage data for the previous month. That is, the timing at which the data acquiring unit 11 passes the ticket gate passage data and the unit of acquired data may be set depending on the timing and period for which the analysis of railway usage status is to be performed.

[0035] The data conversion and classification processing unit (data classification unit) 12 converts the ticket gate passage data acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 from the format of each railway company into data in a standard format. Then, the data conversion and classification processing unit 12 classifies the ticket gate passage data converted into data in the standard format into data for IC cards and data for magnetic tickets (paper tickets). In the data conversion and classification processing unit 12, data such as shopping data recorded on the IC card is also classified separately from ticket gate passage data.

[0036] This allows the data linking unit 13 to select and transmit only data necessary for linking (for example, route information covering the lines of multiple railway companies) to the data linking unit 13. The data linking unit 13 receives only the IC card data from the data classified by the data conversion and classification processing unit 12, links the ticket gate passage data using the IC card with the information about the station stored in the memory unit 14, and generates the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data (see Figure 2) described below.

[0037] Here, the information about stations stored in the memory unit 14 includes, for example, as shown in Figure 1, the name of the railway company 14b that owns the line of the station where the ticket gate was passed, the line 14c, the station's location information (latitude and longitude) 14d, the station type 14e, and the fare 14f. Station type 14e includes information on stations with different connection types, such as (a) general stations: stations where only one operator can board or disembark (stations where there are no transfer stations), (b) transfer stations (two-latch transfer): stations where you must pass through the ticket gate once to transfer to the relevant company, and (c) transfer stations (shared-use stations): stations where you can transfer to the relevant company without passing through the ticket gate.

[0038] The storage unit 14 stores ticket gate passage data (IC data only) 14a acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 in addition to the information about the stations described above. The display control unit 15 controls the display on the external display device 30 so that the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data (see FIG. 2) generated as a result of the linking process in the data linking unit 13 is displayed.

[0039] Figure 2 shows an example of display (two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data) that is output to the display device 30 and displayed on the display screen 30a of the display device 30 as a result of linking the ticket gate passage data and information about railway stations in the data linking unit 13 of Figure 1. Specifically, Figure 2 shows the number of passengers per month at each station where passengers who have made a two-latch transfer, exiting a ticket gate at a station on another railway company's line and entering a ticket gate at a station on Railway Company A's line, are boarded, as indicated by the size of the circle.

[0040] That is, the circles shown on the display screen 30a in FIG. 2 all indicate the positions of stations, and the size of the circle indicates how many passengers have boarded at each station. In Figure 2, the number of passengers displayed by the circles is not limited to monthly units, but may also be data aggregated by daily, weekly, 2-3 month, six-month, yearly, specific day of the week, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, the number of passengers at a boarding station may be indicated by changing the color of the circle in addition to changing the size of the circle. 2, a selection area A1 is provided in the upper left of the display screen 30a for selecting which station of which line of another railway company passengers are boarding at which station of Railway Company A passengers entering the station are provided. A target passenger number display area A2, which shows the total number of target passengers, is provided in the upper right of the display screen 30a.

[0042] The selection area A1 includes, for example, an incoming station selection area A11 that displays station names in a pull-down menu to select which station of railway company A the passenger has arrived at, a railway company selection area A12 that displays the railway companies the passenger will arrive at in a pull-down menu, an entrance station selection area A13 that displays the entrance stations (boarding stations) of other railway companies in a pull-down menu, and a destination station display selection area A14 that displays the destination station in a pull-down menu.

[0043] In the inflow station selection area A11, for example, by selecting a specific △△ station on a specific line of railway company A from a pull-down menu, the number of passengers flowing in from each station on the lines of other railway companies is displayed for each station on the display screen 30a. In the railway company selection area A12, the railway company that is the source of inflow into △△ station on Railway Company A's line can be selected from a pull-down menu, and the inflow from a specific railway company to Railway Company A's line can be displayed.

[0044] The entrance station selection area A13 displays a pull-down menu of entrance stations (boarding stations) of other railway companies for passengers arriving at Station △△, which is included in the line of Railway Company A. Here, as shown in Figure 2, "All" may be selected, or a specific station may be selected. In the destination station display selection area A14, it is possible to display the final destination of passengers by using a pull-down menu to display the disembarking station (destination) of passengers who have arrived at △△ station on the line of railway company A. As shown in Figure 2, in the destination station display selection area A14, "All" may be selected, or a specific station may be selected.

[0045] The target passenger number display area A2 shows the total number of target passengers according to the station, railway company, etc. selected in the selection area A1. In this embodiment, on the display screen 30a that displays the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data shown in Figure 2, when you use a mouse or the like to point to the circle of the relevant station, information such as the station's location information (latitude and longitude), railway company name, station name, number of passengers, and fare will be displayed.

[0046] This makes it possible to obtain the passenger's previous boarding and alighting information based on the information on the IC card acquired when the passenger passes through the ticket gate, and to recognize where the passenger came from before boarding or alighting at the company. By grasping the boarding and alighting information of passengers who use multiple railway companies and displaying it on the display device 30, new information that was not previously available can be provided to the railway companies. Figure 3 shows a graph in which the boarding stations displayed in the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data shown in Figure 2 are sorted in descending order of the number of passengers.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 3 shows that the largest number of passengers, approximately 50,000, boarded at station X1, which is on another railway company's line, followed by stations X2 and X3, and then stations Xy and Xz, in that order, show that the largest number of passengers flowed into a specific △△ station on Railway Company A's line. By presenting the graph shown in Figure 3 to Railway Company A, Railway Company A can see at a glance which stations of other railway companies have a large inflow of passengers. Therefore, Railway Company A can take measures such as posting information and advertisements that are useful to users, mainly in the surrounding areas including stations X1, X2, and X3 of other railway companies that have a large inflow of passengers.

[0048] <Railway usage analysis method> The railway usage analysis device 10 of this embodiment is configured as described above to analyze railway usage. Here, the processing flow of the railway usage analysis method will be described with reference to FIG.

[0049] That is, as shown in Figure 4, in step S11, the data acquisition unit 11 of the railway usage analysis device 10 acquires ticket gate passage data stored in the data server 21 as ticket gate passage OD data when a passenger passes through a ticket gate installed at each station. Next, in step S12, the data conversion and classification processing unit 12 of the railway usage analysis device 10 converts the data format of the ticket gate passage data acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 from a railway company-specific format (company-specific data) to a standard format (standard data).

[0050] Next, in step S13, the data conversion and classification processing unit 12 of the railway usage analysis device 10 classifies the ticket gate passage data that has been converted into a standard format into IC card data and magnetic ticket (paper ticket) data. Next, in step S14, the data linking unit 13 of the railway usage analysis device 10 performs processing to link the IC card data from the data classified in step S13 with information about stations stored in the memory unit 14 (railway company name, route information, station location (latitude and longitude), station type, fare, etc.).

[0051] Next, in step S15, the data linking unit 13 of the railway usage analysis device 10 generates two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data as a result of the linking process performed in step S14. Next, in step S16, the display control unit 15 of the railway usage analysis device 10 controls the display screen 30a of the display device 30 so that the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data generated in step S15 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 30.

[0052] As a result, by displaying the results of the linking process in the data linking unit 13 (see Figures 2 and 3) on the display screen 30a of the display device 30, it is possible to easily recognize the boarding and disembarking stations of passengers coming from other railway companies at a specific △△ station included in the line of railway company A. Therefore, by combining railway stations and railway operators, it is possible to accurately grasp where each passenger came from and where they went, as well as to recognize how many passengers came from which station and how much they spent to get to their desired station. Therefore, for example, by providing services that match the location of the station where the passenger got off and the amount of the fare, railway operators can improve their profits and services, and use this data as the basis for implementing measures in collaboration with neighboring operators. In addition, since the effects of implemented measures can be confirmed immediately, various measures can be implemented quickly and the effects can be easily measured.

[0053] <Main features> As shown in Fig. 1, the railway usage analysis device 10 of this embodiment includes a data acquisition unit 11 and a data linking unit 13. The data acquisition unit 11 acquires data including two-latch transfer data in which a passenger exits a first ticket gate and passes through another second ticket gate as ticket gate passage data for each passenger who has passed through ticket gates 20a, 20b, and 20c at a railway station. The data linking unit 13 links the ticket gate passage data 14a acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 with information 14b to 14f related to railway stations.

[0054] This allows us to grasp the boarding and disembarking stations of passengers traveling across the lines of multiple railway companies, not just those traveling within the lines of a single railway company, making it possible to obtain and utilize information on the movements of passengers who use multiple railway companies. As a result, more effective services can be provided to railway operators and passengers.

[0055] [Other embodiments] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention. (A) In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described as being implemented as a railway usage analysis device and a railway usage analysis method, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0056] For example, the present invention may be realized as a railway usage analysis program that causes a computer to execute the above-described railway usage analysis method. This program is stored in a memory (storage unit) installed in the railway usage analysis device, and the CPU reads the railway usage analysis program stored in the memory and causes the hardware to execute each step. More specifically, the CPU reads the railway usage analysis program and executes the above-mentioned ticket gate passage data acquisition step and data linking step, thereby achieving the same effects as those described above. The present invention may also be realized as a recording medium storing a railway usage analysis program.

[0057] (B) In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the data linking unit 13 links the ticket gate passage data with information about the station to generate two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data and displays it on the display device 30, thereby utilizing the ticket gate passage data acquired by the data acquiring unit 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the method of utilizing the data generated by linking the acquired ticket gate passage data with information about the station may be other than the two-latch transfer mobile commercial area data described in the above embodiment.

[0058] (C) In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the ticket gate passage data acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 is classified into IC card data and magnetic ticket data in the data classification / conversion processing unit 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, unnecessary data that is not used in the linking process in the data linking unit 13 may be classified from among the data included in the ticket gate passage data.

[0059] (D) In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the memory unit 14 for storing information about stations used in the linking process in the data linking unit 13 is provided within the railway usage analysis device 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0060] For example, the storage unit that stores information about stations and the like may be provided in a server or the like that is provided outside the railway usage analysis device. Even in this case, the data linking unit 13 can obtain the same effect as above by acquiring information about the station from a server located outside the railway usage analysis device 10 and linking it with the ticket gate passage data. [Industrial Applicability]

[0061] The railway usage analysis device of the present invention has the effect of being able to acquire and utilize movement information of passengers who use multiple railway companies, and therefore can be widely applied to management systems owned by each railway operator.
