  In step S14, when the vehicle is stopped in an overrun state (step S14: YES), it is determined whether or not the train is returned to a predetermined stop position (normal stop position) (step S15). That is, in step S15, it is detected whether or not the vehicle is an overrun stop that stops after returning to the normal stop position after stopping in an overrun state. The stored display data is returned to the state before being shifted in step S12 (step S16), the operation guide information displayed on the display panel 4 is updated (step S17), and the process returns to step S11.

  In step S14, when the train does not stop on the platform (step S14: NO), or when the train departs without returning to the predetermined stop position (step S15: NO), the train exits to the next block section. In other words, that is, when it is determined that the train has "passed" the platform (step S18: YES), a shift process is performed to output the next guidance data from the diagram information analysis unit 34 and update the guidance data. (Step S19), the process ends.

  As described above, the train guidance device 100 stores the display output data generated by the display panel guidance data generation unit 341 in the display data register 36 based on the train operation information (diagram information) that is input, and displays it. In the panel display information control unit 35, the data stored in the display data register 36 is shifted based on the train position on the track related to the platform detected based on the input train position information, and the display data register Control is performed so that the operation guide information is displayed on the display panel 4 based on the display output data stored in 36. For this reason, the train guidance apparatus 100 can display the exact operation guidance information based on the train position on the track which concerns on a platform.

  Further, the train guidance device 100 displays the display data register 36 when the train enters the next block section from the block section on the track related to the platform based on the input train position information (see FIG. 2B). The data stored in is shifted. For this reason, it is possible to display operation guidance information that is immediately available upon departure of the train from the platform.

  Moreover, the train guidance apparatus 100 returns the train that has deviated from the predetermined stop position to the predetermined stop position, and when the overrun stop is performed (see FIG. 4, steps S14 and S15). The data shift of the display data register 36 performed when the overrun stops, that is, the display data update is returned (see step S16 in FIG. 4). For this reason, the operation guidance which reflected the operation condition of the train exactly can be performed.

  In addition, the train guide device 100 can display the operation guide information on the display panel 4 to inform the passenger of the operation status of the train.

  Note that the description in the present embodiment shows an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration and operation of the train guidance apparatus 100 in the present embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the train operation information (diagram information) in the train guidance device 100 is input from the external device 2, and the so-called TTC connection method is exemplified, but a storage device such as a built-in magnetic / optical storage medium The diagram information may be stored in the diagram, and a diamond built-in system that is an input from the storage device may be used, and is not particularly limited.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the operation guidance information is displayed and output from the display panel 4 is exemplified, but the configuration in which the guidance is automatically provided from the speaker 6 may be used. That is, the automatic audio broadcast output from the speaker 6 is configured to include the data register in the automatic broadcast information control unit 37 as well as the operation guide information displayed and output from the display panel 4, and is output from the train position condition output unit 32. The data in the data register may be shifted based on the state of the train to be performed, depending on the contents of the data register.
