If it is necessary to change the train number information such as the type of the train during the operation of the train, such as when the train is disturbed,
The train number information had to be re-entered manually (offline) by exchanging cards and the like. Therefore, it takes time to change the train number information, and there are many problems in operation management, such as troublesome operation arrangement when the train schedule is disrupted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a train operation management system in which operation information managed on the train side can be automatically rewritten even during operation without depending on crew members' operations. The purpose is to do.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the operation information of the train is stored in the on-board device of the train in advance, and the operation information is transmitted to the ground device. In a train operation management system that performs route management of the train based on the received operation information and performs operation management of the train, operation information can be transmitted from the ground device to a running train, When the device receives the operation information from the ground device, the operation information stored in advance is rewritten to the received operation information.

In this configuration, when the on-board device of the train receives the operation information sent from the ground device, the on-board device rewrites the operation information stored up to that time with the operation information received from the ground device. The invention according to claim 2 is configured to transmit operation information from the ground device at a base station where train operation can be arranged.

With this configuration, the configuration of the operation management equipment on the ground side can be simplified. The invention described in claim 3 is:
The on-board device returns the operation information rewritten and stored to the ground device when the rewriting operation is completed, and the ground device compares the transmitted operation information with the returned operation information, and rewrites when they match. The configuration was determined to be complete.

With this configuration, when the operation of rewriting the operation information transmitted from the ground device is completed, the on-vehicle device returns the rewritten and stored operation information to the ground device, and the ground device transmits the operation information to the on-vehicle device. The operation information obtained is compared with the operation information returned from the on-board device, and when they match, it is determined that the rewriting of the operation information of the train is completed.
