[0001] The present disclosure relates to a command operation support device, a command operation support method, a command operation support program, and a command operation support system. [Background technology]

[0002] When trains are delayed due to excessive boarding and alighting times, accidents, or vehicle breakdowns, train dispatchers reschedule trains to return trains to normal. Trains can still run even during rescheduling, and rescheduling must be done quickly to prevent the train delay from spreading.

[0003] As one method of supporting dispatchers' dispatching duties, including rescheduling, a technology has been proposed in which train operation status is represented by an operation index, and dispatchers reschedule train operations according to the value of the operation index (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0005] In the conventional technology, multiple operation indices such as transportation capacity and congestion level are calculated based on the planned schedule and actual schedule, and are displayed in a graph, but the correlation between the multiple operation indices is not shown. Therefore, the dispatcher cannot predict whether an increase in one operation index will lead to an increase in another operation index, and there is a problem that the dispatcher cannot perform dispatch duties such as rescheduling in a short time and easily.

[0011] <Embodiment 1> Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a command operation support system according to the present embodiment 1. The command operation support system in Fig. 1 includes a command operation support device 1, a timetable information management device 2, and a train information management device 3. The command operation support device 1, the timetable information management device 2, and the train information management device 3 are connected to each other via a network so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0012] The timetable information management device 2 manages timetable information. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the timetable information. The timetable information includes at least one of the predetermined departure time and arrival time at each station of each train. In this specification, for example, at least one of A, B, C, ..., and Z means any one of all combinations of one or more items extracted from the group of A, B, C, ..., and Z. The timetable information in the example of FIG. 2 includes a timetable type indicating either weekdays or weekends, a train number, a departure station, a departure time, an arrival station, and an arrival time. The train number is a number for identifying a train in the timetable. It is assumed that a train is composed of one or more cars.

[0013] The train information management device 3 manages train information and train equipment information, which will be described later. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of train information. The train information includes at least one of the actual departure time and arrival time of each train at each station. The train information in the example of Fig. 3 includes a train formation number, a train number, a departure station, a departure time, an arrival station, and an arrival time. The train formation number is a number for identifying the train formation.

[0014] A dispatcher's dispatching work support device 1 in FIG. 1 acquires dispatcher information and train information from a dispatcher's timetable information management device 2 and a train information management device 3, respectively, and supports dispatcher's dispatching work, including traffic rescheduling, based on the dispatcher's timetable information and train information.

[0015] Each of the command operation support device 1, the timetable information management device 2, and the train information management device 3 shown in FIG. 1 may be realized as a function on the cloud, or may be a piece of hardware in the traffic management system.

[0016] Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the command operation support device 1 according to the present embodiment 1. The command operation support device 1 in Fig. 4 includes an information acquisition unit 11 including a timetable information acquisition unit 11a and a train information acquisition unit 11b, an operation index calculation unit 12, a correlation coefficient calculation unit 13, and a display information creation unit 14.

[0017] The schedule information acquiring unit 11a acquires schedule information from the schedule information management device 2. The schedule information acquiring unit 11a may be a communication device, an interface of a communication device, or the schedule information management device 2 itself.

[0018] The train information acquiring unit 11b acquires train information from the train information management device 3. The train information acquiring unit 11b may be a communication device, an interface for a communication device, or the train information management device 3 itself.

[0019] The operation index calculation unit 12 calculates a plurality of first data of a first operation index for one or more first stations or one or more first trains, and a plurality of second data of a second operation index for one or more second stations or one or more second trains, based on the timetable information and the train information. In the following description, when there is no distinction between the first operation index and the second operation index, they are referred to as operation indexes, and when there is no distinction between the first data and the second data, they are referred to as data.

[0020] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a plurality of data of operation indices calculated from the timetable information in FIG. 2 and the train information in FIG. 3. In FIG. 2, the timetable time at which the train with train number "T0001" departs from station "ST02" is "04:35:00", and in FIG. 3, the actual time at which the train with train number "T0001" departs from station "ST02" is "04:35:01". Therefore, in the first line of FIG. 5, "1", which is the actual time minus the timetable time, is calculated as the operation index and is associated with the actual departure time "04:35:01". The operation index may be calculated not by time unit but by event unit, or may be calculated by a predetermined time unit (for example, one minute).

[0021] The second and third lines of Fig. 5 show the operation indicators of trains departing in the outbound direction from station "ST02" after the train with train number "T0001". In other words, the multiple data of the operation indicators in Fig. 5 are multiple data showing the delay times of the departure times of each train heading in the outbound direction from station "ST02".

[0022] The operation index is not limited to the delay time of the departure time, but may be an index related to time, congestion, or power. For example, the operation index may be the delay time of the arrival time, or, as described below, may be the running power, the regenerative power, the amount of running power, the amount of regenerative power, the passenger load rate, the number of passengers boarding or the number of passengers alighting, or the passenger loss time (= delay time x number of passengers boarding). The number of passengers may be the number of passengers boarding the train from the station, or the number of passengers on the train.

[0023] In addition, the operation index is not limited to the delay time of the departure time at one station, but may be an operation index for multiple stations, for example, the sum of the delay times of the departure times at multiple stations. In other words, the operation index may be an operation index for one or more stations. In addition, the operation index may be an operation index for one or more trains, not for one or more stations.

[0024] Furthermore, when the operation index calculation unit 12 calculates data on the first operation index of the first station and the second operation index of the second station, the first station and the second station may be the same station as long as the type of the first operation index and the type of the second operation index are different. Similarly, when the operation index calculation unit 12 calculates data on the first operation index of the first train and the second operation index of the second train, the first train and the second train may be the same train as long as the type of the first operation index and the type of the second operation index are different. Furthermore, when the first station and the second station are different, or when the first train and the second train are different, the type of the first operation index and the type of the second operation index may be the same.

[0025] The correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 in FIG. 4 calculates a correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index based on a plurality of first data of the first operation index and a plurality of second data of the second operation index. For example, the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 calculates a correlation coefficient between a delay time of the departure time at station "ST02" and a delay time of the departure time at station "ST01" as a correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the delay time of the departure time at station "ST02" and the delay time of the departure time at station "ST01" (not shown) are both calculated for each actual departure time, but the actual departure times or the number of data of both often do not match. Therefore, the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 may perform interpolation on each of the plurality of first data and the plurality of second data to make the actual departure times and the number of data of the plurality of first data and the plurality of second data the same, and then calculate the correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index. For the interpolation, for example, linear interpolation, Lagrange interpolation, spline interpolation, or the like may be used.

[0026] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the correlation coefficient calculated by the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13. In the example of Fig. 6, the first operation index is the delay time of the departure time in the downbound direction from station "ST02", and the second operation index is the delay time of the departure time in the downbound direction from station "ST01", station "ST03", and station "ST04".

[0027] In addition, when the operation index is a delay time of a departure time, the data of the operation index is considered to be concentrated to almost 0. In order to reduce the influence of such concentration on the correlation coefficient, the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 may calculate the correlation coefficient using data of an operation index equal to or greater than a threshold value. In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of first data and a plurality of second data obtained for the same timetable are used to calculate the correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index.

[0028] The display information creation unit 14 creates operation index display information for displaying the correlation between the first operation index and the second operation index based on the first operation index, the second operation index, and the correlation coefficient. For example, the display information creation unit 14 may create operation index display information capable of displaying as shown in Fig. 7. Note that the display in Fig. 7 includes a scatter diagram and a correlation coefficient, in which an operation index, which is the delay time of the departure time at station "ST03", is set on the horizontal axis of the scatter diagram, and an operation index, which is the delay time of the departure time at station "ST02", is set on the vertical axis.

[0029] <Operation> FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the command operation support device according to the first embodiment.

[0030] In step S1, the timetable information acquisition unit 11a acquires timetable information from the timetable information management device 2. In step S2, the train information acquisition unit 11b acquires train information from the train information management device 3. Note that the order of steps S1 and S2 may be reversed, or steps S1 and S2 may be performed in parallel.

[0031] In step S3, the operation index calculation unit 12 calculates a plurality of first data for the first operation index and a plurality of second data for the second operation index based on the timetable information and train information. In step S4, the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 calculates a correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index based on the plurality of first data for the first operation index and the plurality of second data for the second operation index. In step S5, the display information creation unit 14 creates operation index display information for displaying the correlation between the first operation index and the second operation index based on the first operation index, the second operation index, and the correlation coefficient.

[0032] <Summary of the first embodiment> According to the command operation support device of the first embodiment as described above, a correlation coefficient between the first and second operation indexes is calculated, and operation index display information for displaying the correlation between the first and second operation indexes is created based on the correlation coefficient between the first and second operation indexes. This configuration can assist the commander in predicting whether an increase in one operation index will lead to an increase in another operation index, and in confirming a causal relationship, so that the commander can perform command operations such as traffic rescheduling easily and in a short time.

[0033] In the first embodiment, at least one of the first and second operation indexes calculated by the operation index calculation unit 12 includes a delay time of the departure time. With this configuration, the dispatcher can reschedule operations from the viewpoint of delays.

[0034] <Embodiment 2> 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a command operation support device 1 according to the present embodiment 2. In the following, among the components according to the present embodiment 2, components that are the same as or similar to the components described above are given the same or similar reference numerals, and different components are mainly described.

[0035] In the second embodiment, the display information creation unit 14 includes an operation index setting unit 14a. The operation index setting unit 14a determines whether or not any one of a plurality of operation indexes consisting of a first operation index and a second operation index is designated by, for example, a dispatcher. When one operation index is designated, the operation index setting unit 14a arranges other operation indexes whose correlation coefficients with the one operation index are calculated based on the correlation coefficient of the one operation index. For example, the operation index setting unit 14a arranges other operation indexes in descending order of correlation coefficient.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 10, the display information creation unit 14 creates operation indicator display information for displaying one specified operation indicator and displaying other operation indicators in the order arranged by the operation indicator setting unit 14a. In the example of Fig. 10, one specified operation indicator is the delay time of the outbound departure time at station "ST02", and the other operation indicators are the delay time of the outbound departure time at station "ST03" and the delay time of the outbound departure time at station "ST01". Although not shown, the display information creation unit 14 may create a scatter diagram as shown in Fig. 7 for the other operation indicators, and the operation indicator setting unit 14a may arrange and display the scatter diagrams of the other operation indicators in the order of the highest correlation coefficient.

[0037] <Operation> Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the command operation support device according to the embodiment 2. The operation in Fig. 11 is similar to the operation in Fig. 8 with step S11 added between step S4 and step S5, so the following mainly describes step S11.

[0038] In step S11, when one operation index is specified from among multiple operation indexes, the operation index setting unit 14a arranges other operation indexes whose correlation coefficients with the one operation index are calculated based on the correlation coefficient of the one operation index.

[0039] In step S5, the display information generating unit 14 generates operation indicator display information based on the first operation indicator, the second operation indicator, the correlation coefficient, and the other arranged operation indicators. After that, the operation of FIG. 11 ends.

[0040] <Summary of the second embodiment> According to the command operation support device of the second embodiment described above, when one operation index is specified from among a plurality of operation indexes, other operation indexes whose correlation coefficients with the specified operation index are calculated are arranged based on the correlation coefficient of the specified operation index. This configuration can assist the commander in easily predicting whether an increase in one operation index will lead to an increase in another operation index, and easily confirming a causal relationship.

[0041] <Embodiment 3> 12 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a command operation support device 1 according to the present embodiment 3. In the following, among the components according to the present embodiment 3, components that are the same as or similar to the components described above are given the same or similar reference numerals, and different components are mainly described.

[0042] The configuration of FIG. 12 is the same as the configuration of FIG. 9, except that a train equipment information acquisition unit 11c is added as one of the functions of the information acquisition unit 11, and a train information calculation unit 15 is added.

[0043] The train information management device 3 in Fig. 1 manages train equipment information, and the train equipment information acquisition unit 11c in Fig. 12 acquires train equipment information from the train information management device 3. The train equipment information acquisition unit 11c may be a communication device, an interface for a communication device, or the train information management device 3 itself.

[0044] Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of train equipment information. The train equipment information includes the actual time, the actual running position and speed of each train, and the actual occupancy rate or number of passengers of each train or each car. The train equipment information in the example of Fig. 13 includes the train formation number, the actual time, the running position, the speed, and the occupancy rate of the entire train formed of one or more cars.

[0045] The train information calculation unit 15 in FIG. 12 calculates train information based on the timetable information and train equipment information. For example, the train information calculation unit 15 compares the actual time, running position, and speed included in the train equipment information in FIG. 13 with the timetable information in FIG. 2 to associate the formation number with the train number. Then, the train information calculation unit 15 calculates the distance between the train and the station from the train position in FIG. 13 and the position of the station where the train should arrive, and calculates the time it takes for the train to arrive at the station based on the distance and the train speed. Then, the train information calculation unit 15 calculates the arrival time by adding the calculated time to the actual time, and calculates the departure time by adding a certain time to the arrival time. Note that the train information calculation unit 15 corrects the arrival time and departure time so that the arrival time and departure time become later as the occupancy rate increases.

[0046] As another example, the train information calculation unit 15 associates the formation number with the train number by comparing the timetable information and the train equipment information for past time series.Then, the train information calculation unit 15 calculates the train information by extracting the departure time at the departure station and the arrival time at the arrival station from the time series of the train's position and speed in the train equipment information.Specifically, the train information calculation unit 15 extracts the time when the train's speed becomes a value greater than 0 from the departure station as the departure time, and extracts the time when the train's speed becomes a value greater than 0 from the arrival station as the arrival time.

[0047] <Operation> Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the command operation support device according to the embodiment 3. The operation in Fig. 14 is similar to the operation in Fig. 11 with steps S16 and S17 added between steps S1 and S2, so steps S16 and S17 will be mainly described below.

[0048] In step S16, the train equipment information acquisition unit 11c acquires train equipment information from the train information management device 3. In step S17, the train information calculation unit 15 calculates train information based on the timetable information and the train equipment information. The train information calculated by the train information calculation unit 15 is used by the operation index calculation unit 12, similar to the train information acquired by the train information acquisition unit 11b. Note that the order of step S1 and the series of operations of steps S16, S17, and S2 is not limited to the order in FIG. 14.

[0049] <Summary of the Third Embodiment> According to the dispatcher's operation support device of the third embodiment described above, train information is calculated based on timetable information and train equipment information. With this configuration, the dispatcher can take into account the correlation between delays and congestion, and can therefore reschedule operations from the perspective of delays and congestion.

[0050] <Modification> The train equipment information described in the third embodiment further includes power information related to the traction power and regenerative power of each actual train or each vehicle, and the train information calculated by the train information calculation unit 15 may further include the power information. Note that the power information may be information on the traction power and regenerative power themselves, or may be information from which the traction power and regenerative power can be calculated.

[0051] At least one of the first operation index and the second operation index calculated by the operation index calculation unit 12 may include at least one of the power running, the regenerative power, the power running energy, and the regenerative energy. Fig. 15 shows an example in which the multiple data of the operation index are multiple data of the power running energy from station "ST02" in the downbound direction. With this configuration, the dispatcher can take into account the correlation between the power or the energy, and can therefore make traffic rescheduling from the viewpoint of energy saving.

[0052] <Fourth embodiment> 16 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a command operation support device 1 according to the present embodiment 4. In the following, among the components according to the present embodiment 4, components that are the same as or similar to the components described above are given the same or similar reference numerals, and different components are mainly described.

[0053] The configuration of FIG. 16 is similar to the configuration of FIG. 12 in that a train sequence information acquisition unit 11d is added as one of the functions of the information acquisition unit 11, and an alert information transmission unit 16 is added.

[0054] The diagram information management device 2 in Fig. 1 manages train sequence information, and the train sequence information acquisition unit 11d in Fig. 16 acquires train sequence information from the diagram information management device 2. The train sequence information acquisition unit 11d may be a communication device, an interface of a communication device, or the diagram information management device 2 itself.

[0055] Fig. 17 is a diagram showing an example of train sequence information. The train sequence information includes the departure order of trains for each direction at each station. The train sequence information in the example of Fig. 17 includes a date, a direction, a station, a train number, and a departure order.

[0056] The operation index calculation unit 12 in FIG. 16 calculates an operation index for one train and an operation index for a preceding train running in front of the one train as a first operation index and a second operation index based on the timetable information, train information, and train sequence information. For example, assume that one train is a train with train number "T0003" shown in the train sequence information in FIG. 17. In this case, the operation index calculation unit 12 calculates an operation index for the train with train number "T0003" and an operation index for the preceding train with train number "T0001" as a first operation index and a second operation index. As a result, the correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 calculates a correlation coefficient between the operation index of the train with train number "T0003" and the operation index of the train with train number "T0001".

[0057] The alert information transmission unit 16 in Fig. 16 transmits alert information based on a plurality of first data of a first operation indicator and a plurality of second data of a second operation indicator. For example, when the plurality of first data or the plurality of second data is not within a predetermined range, or when a difference between the plurality of first data and the plurality of second data is not within a predetermined range, the alert information transmission unit 16 transmits alert information to a terminal device of a commander.

[0058] <Operation> Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing the operation of the command operation support device according to the embodiment 4. The operation in Fig. 18 is similar to the operation in Fig. 14 except that step S21 is added between step S1 and step S16 and step S22 is added after step S3, so steps S21 and S22 will be mainly described below.

[0059] In step S21, the train sequence information acquisition unit 11d acquires train sequence information from the diagram information management device 2. Note that the order of steps S1, S21, and the series of operations of steps S16, S17, and S2 is not limited to the order in FIG.

[0060] In step S3, the operation index calculation unit 12 calculates an operation index for one train and an operation index for a preceding train running in front of the one train as a first operation index and a second operation index based on the timetable information, train information, and train sequence information.

[0061] In step S22, alert information is transmitted based on the plurality of first data of the first operation indicator and the plurality of second data of the second operation indicator.

[0062] <Summary of the fourth embodiment> According to the dispatch operation support device of the fourth embodiment, an operation index for one train and an operation index for a preceding train running in front of the train are calculated as a first operation index and a second operation index. This configuration can assist a dispatcher in predicting whether an operation index for a certain train will increase when an operation index for a preceding train increases.

[0063] In the fourth embodiment, alert information is transmitted based on a plurality of first data of a first operation index and a plurality of second data of a second operation index. With this configuration, the dispatcher can quickly check anomalies in the plurality of first data and the plurality of second data. The alert information transmission unit 16 may also be provided in the configurations of the first to third embodiments.

[0064] <Other Modifications> The above-mentioned timetable information acquisition unit 11a, train information acquisition unit 11b, operation index calculation unit 12, correlation coefficient calculation unit 13, and display information creation unit 14 in FIG. 4 are hereinafter referred to as the "timetable information acquisition unit 11a". The timetable information acquisition unit 11a and the like are realized by a processing circuit 81 shown in FIG. 19. That is, the processing circuit 81 includes a timetable information acquisition unit 11a that acquires timetable information, a train information acquisition unit 11b that acquires train information, an operation index calculation unit 12 that calculates a plurality of first data of a first operation index and a plurality of second data of a second operation index based on the timetable information and the train information, a correlation coefficient calculation unit 13 that calculates a correlation coefficient between the first operation index and the second operation index based on the plurality of first data and the plurality of second data, and a display information creation unit 14 that creates operation index display information for displaying the correlation between the first operation index and the second operation index based on the first operation index, the second operation index, and the correlation coefficient. Dedicated hardware or a processor that executes a program stored in a memory may be applied to the processing circuit 81. Examples of the processor include a central processing unit, a processing unit, an arithmetic unit, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor).

[0065] When the processing circuit 81 is a dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 81 corresponds to, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a combination of these. Each function of each unit such as the diagram information acquisition unit 11a may be realized by a circuit in which the processing circuit is distributed, or the functions of each unit may be realized by a single processing circuit.

[0066] When the processing circuit 81 is a processor, the functions of the timetable information acquisition unit 11a and the like are realized by a combination with software and the like. The software and the like includes, for example, software, firmware, or software and firmware. The software and the like is written as a program and stored in a memory.
