In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a track traveling vehicle according to the present invention comprises an optical path changing movable between a projecting position protruding outward and a storage position stored inside. A direction changing member, an optical path changing member position adjusting device for moving the optical path changing member between the projecting position and the storage position, and an optical information display means for displaying safety confirmation information, and the displayed safety confirmation. An information light projecting device for projecting the information display light to the light path diverting member at the projecting position is supported by the side wall of the vehicle, and the light path diverting member at the projecting position receives the information from the information light projecting device to confirm safety. The information display light is disposed so as to be deflected toward the crew.

[0006] The safety confirmation information displayed on the optical information display means may be, for example, information relating to lighting or non-lighting of side indicator lights of all vehicles constituting the train, and information linked to an appropriate position. Image information of the side of the vehicle captured by a television camera provided in the vehicle can be adopted. Further, the optical path diverting member position adjusting device for moving the optical path diverting member between the projecting position and the storage position is provided when the train arrives at the platform of the stop station and stops or when the customer door is opened. In addition, it is possible to automatically move the optical path diverting member to the protruding position, and to automatically move the optical path changing member to the storage position as soon as all the doors are closed. Further, the optical path diverting member position adjusting device may be configured to be manually operated by a train crew.

[0007]

According to the track running vehicle of the present invention having the above-described structure,
It is used as a vehicle in which a crew member who monitors the state of the side of the vehicle or the opening / closing of doors of all vehicles when the vehicle departs from the platform is resident. For example, since the crew is often resident in a vehicle connected to the last part of the train, the operation of the present invention will be described first when the track traveling vehicle of the present invention is connected to the last part of the train. . Said,
The light path diverting member is automatically or manually moved to the protruding position while the train is stopped on the platform of the stop station. Then, the safety confirmation information display light emitted from the optical information display means is projected on the optical path changing member located at the projecting position. Then, the safety confirmation information display light is turned in the direction of the crew by the light path turning member. Therefore, if the light path diverting member is disposed slightly ahead of the crew monitoring position (that is, the crew cabin of the vehicle), the crew monitoring the side of the vehicle can simultaneously visually recognize the safety confirmation information. . In addition, when the monitoring position of the crew monitoring the side of the train is in the front part of the train, if the arrangement of the optical path redirecting member is slightly behind the monitoring position of the crew, the vehicle The crew monitoring the rear side of the can see the safety confirmation information at the same time.
