PROGRAM AND PREDICTIVE CONTROL OPERATION CURVE CREATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique allowing creation of an operation curve suitable to predictive control.SOLUTION: A program, when executed, performs the steps including (a) determining an approaching point 20, which is on a path toward a next station where a preceding train 12 is stopped, and for which a position and a speed that minimize a time period required from release of an in-field stop pattern at the next station to arrival at the next station are specified, as well as, determining a specified time Ts when an object train passes the approaching point 20, according to a departure time of the preceding train 12 at the next station. The steps further includes a step for creating a predictive control operation curve 24a, as an operation curve for the object train 10 being stopped at a departure station to travel to the next station, including the approaching point 20, at which the objective train will arrive in a coasting operation and pass at the specified time Ts. The steps further includes (b) a step for updating the predictive control operation curve 24a, if the specified time Ts is changed due to a change of the departure time of the preceding train 12 at the next station, while the object train 10 travels between the stations along the predictive control operation curve 24a, so that the object train is specified to pass the approaching point 20 at the specified time Ts changed accordingly.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】予測制御に好適な運転曲線を作成可能とする技術の提供。【解決手段】（ａ）先行列車１２が停車中の次駅の外方に、次駅の場内停止パターンの解除時点から次駅の到着までの所要時間が最小となる位置及び速度を指定する接近点２０が定められるとともに、先行列車１２の次駅の発時刻に応じて、接近点２０の通過する指定時刻Ｔｓが決まる。そして、発駅に停車中の対象列車１０が次駅まで走行する際の運転曲線として、接近点２０にだ行で到達するとともに指定時刻Ｔｓに通過する予測制御運転曲線２４ａを作成する。（ｂ）対象列車１０が予測制御運転曲線２４ａに沿って駅間を走行中に、先行列車１２の次駅の発時刻の変更によって指定時刻Ｔｓが変更されると、接近点２０を変更後の指定時刻Ｔｓに通過する予測制御運転曲線２４ｂに更新する。【選択図】図２
