  The departure guidance light emitting device 300 receives the same information from the information management device 100 as the information transmitted from the information management device 100 to the departure guidance display device 200 of the same line, and emits light based on the received information. The light is emitted in conjunction with the display on the departure guidance display device 200 of the same line. That is, for example, switching of the emission color of the departure guidance light emitting device 300 for the first line and switching of lighting / extinguishing are performed almost simultaneously with the switching of the display of the departure guidance display device 200 for the first line.

In addition, for example, when the schedule is disturbed, when the departure guidance display device 200 for the same line does not display all the departure guidance for the corresponding number line, the departure guidance light emitting device 300 is turned off. ing.
In addition, even when the schedule is disturbed, etc., if a part of the departure guidance for the corresponding number line (including at least the route of the train that departs first from the corresponding number line) is displayed, The departure guidance light emitting device 300 can be configured to be turned on, or can be configured to be extinguished until all the departure guidance for the corresponding line is displayed.

For example, when an abnormality occurs or when it is desired to turn off the departure guidance light emitting device 300, the station staff operates the on / off switch for the departure guidance light emitting device 300 described above to force the departure guidance light emitting device 300. Can be turned off automatically. Thereafter, when an ON / OFF switch or the like for the departure guidance light emitting device 300 is operated to instruct a return (lighting) of the departure guidance light emitting device 300, the departure guidance light emitting device 300 transmits from the information management device 100 after the return operation. The control information is configured to return to normal lighting.
Further, the departure guidance light emitting device 300 can be configured to automatically turn off after the last train and automatically turn on at the first train.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the light emission control unit 320 simultaneously displays the indicator units 310 connected to the light emission control unit 320 with an identification color that can identify the route of the train that departs first from the corresponding number line. Although it is configured to emit light (turn on), for example, the light emission method of the indicator unit 310 can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. For example, a plurality of indicator units 310 can be configured to emit light (turn on or blink) sequentially from the end so as to indicate the traveling direction of the train that departs first from the corresponding number line. The light emitting elements (light source 311,... Or light source 312,...) Included in the indicator unit 310 are configured to emit light (turn on or blink) sequentially from the end so as to indicate the traveling direction of the train that departs first. It is also possible, and the plurality of light emitters included in the indicator unit 310 are terminated while the plurality of indicator units 310 emit light sequentially from the end so as to indicate the traveling direction of the train that departs first from the corresponding number line. It is also possible to make it emit light in order.

6-10 is a figure for demonstrating the light emission example of the departure guidance light-emitting device 300. FIG.
In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6A, since the train T11 that departs first from the first line is a train on the route A toward the P direction, the indicator section 310 for the first line corresponds to the route A. Light is emitted in the identification color.
Further, since the train T14 that departs first from the No. 4 line is a train on the route A toward the Q direction, the indicator unit 310 for the No. 4 line emits light with an identification color corresponding to the route A.
Further, since the train T12 that departs first from the second line is a train on the route B toward the R direction, the indicator unit 310 for the second line emits light with an identification color corresponding to the route B.

On the other hand, the train T13 that departs first from the No. 3 line is a train on the route B to the R direction, but the starting train on the route B to the R direction is the train T12, not the train T13. Indicator sections 310,... Are off. And as shown in FIG.6 (b), when the train T12 departs from the 2nd line and the starting train of the route B for R direction switches to the train T13, the indicator part 310, ... for 2nd lines will go out, The indicator unit 310 for the third line emits light with an identification color corresponding to the route B.
Thus, since the departure guidance light-emitting device 300 emits light when the train that departs first from the corresponding number line is the first train, for example, when a train on the same route goes from the number on both sides of the platform to the same direction. In addition, it is possible to notify the train user which side of the platform is waiting for the starting train.

In the case of the example shown in FIG. 7 (a), the train T21 that departs first from line 2 and the train T22 that departs first from line 3 are trains on route B bound for R, which stops at this station. The train T21 arrives at this station before the train T22 and waits for the train T22 to pass. Therefore, since the starting train of the route B to the R direction is the train T22 and not the train T21, the indicator unit 310 for the third line emits light with an identification color corresponding to the route B, and the indicator unit for the second line 310, ... are turned off. And as shown in FIG.7 (b), when the train T22 departs from the 3rd line and the starting train of the route B for R direction switches to the train T21, the indicator part 310, ... for 3rd line will go out, The indicator section 310 for the second line emits light with an identification color corresponding to the route B.
However, in FIG. 7A, when the train T22 is a rapid train that does not stop at this station, the starting train on the route B bound for the R direction is the train T21, so that the indicator section 310 for the third line,. Is turned off and the indicator section 310 for the second line is turned on.

That is, the departure guidance light emitting device 300 is configured to emit light when the train that departs first from the corresponding number line is the first train. Thereby, the train user and the station staff can instantly determine whether or not the train that departs first from the current line is the first train.
Here, the “first train” is a train that departs from this station first among the same trains in the same direction and route.
The departure guidance light emitting device 300 (specifically, the light emission control unit 320) refers to, for example, the control information for all the number lines transmitted from the information management device 100, and responds to trains that depart from the corresponding number lines. It is possible to respond by searching whether there is a train that has the same direction and route as the train that departs from the first line, and that has a departure time earlier than the first train that departs from the corresponding line. It is determined whether or not the train that departs first from the numbering line is the first train. Alternatively, if the control information for the corresponding line includes information for determining whether or not the train that departs first from the corresponding line is the starting train, control information for the non-corresponding line is displayed. Even if it does not refer, it can be judged whether the train which departs first from the corresponding number line is a starting train.
And if the departure guidance light-emitting device 300 judges that the train which departs first from the corresponding number line is a starting train, it is comprised so that the said train may be light-emitted even before the said train arrives at this station.

Moreover, in the case of this embodiment, the departure guidance light-emitting device 300 is the case where the train route before switching and the train route after switching are the same even if the train that departs first from the corresponding number line is switched. Is configured to continue light emission without being turned off at the time of switching. In this case, it is also possible to configure to turn off temporarily when the train that departs first is switched.
7 to 10, for convenience, number line indicator sections 310,... That are not described are turned off. Of course, the number line indicator sections 310,. Further, switching between lighting and extinguishing is appropriately performed. Further, in the description of FIGS. 8 to 10, the description will be made on the assumption that “the departure guidance light emitting device 300 emits light when the train that departs first from the corresponding line is the first train”.

In the case of the example shown in FIG. 8 (a), the train T31 that departs first from the 4th line is a train on the route A toward the P direction. Off. And as shown in FIG.8 (b), when the train T31 departs from the 4th line and the train which departs from the 4th line switches to the train T32 in which the train user can board, the indicator for the 4th line The sections 310, ... are lit.
That is, the departure guidance light emitting device 300 is configured to be turned off when the train that departs first from the corresponding number line is a train that cannot be used by a train user such as a forward train (non-customer-treated train). ing.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 9 (a), the train T41 that departs first from the second line is a train on the route B toward R, but the train T42 that departs first from the second line is the P direction. Since it is a train on route A, as shown in FIG. 9B, when train T41 on route B departs from line 2 and the train that departs first from line 2 switches to train T42 on line A The emission color of the indicator section 310 for the second line is switched from the identification color corresponding to the route B to the identification color corresponding to the route A.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 10, since the train T51 that departs first from the No. 2 line is a train that has entered the A line from the B line, the indicator section 310 for the No. 2 line has an identification color corresponding to the A line. Emitting light. In this case, since the train T51 is originally a train on the route B, the color of the vehicle body of the train T51 that departs first from the No. 2 line does not match the emission color of the indicator unit 310 for the No. 2 line. Become.
