Abstract: A terminal device which receives command information from a central device in a train information management system, includes a transmission-reception unit which transmits and receives the command information to and from the central device or other terminal device and periodically receives command information from a plurality of central devices, a control unit which determines whether or not management information, which is information on a train composition set by a central device which is a transmission source, regarding the received command information, is normal command information and determines command information to be adopted based on a priority set to the central device which is the transmission source when receiving the normal command information from the plurality of central devices, and a storage unit which stores information on the priorities set to the plurality of central devices.

Abstract: An on-board device is mounted on a train having a battery capable of supplying power when a vehicle power supply is off, a parking brake to fix a wheel when the train is stopped, and a parking-brake controlling electromagnetic valve to be energized by power supplied from the battery when the parking brake is released, and even when the vehicle power supply is off, retains position information of the train stored when the vehicle power supply is on. The on-board device includes a parking-brake release detecting circuit that has a parking-brake-controlling-electromagnetic-valve energization detecting unit to detect energization to the parking-brake controlling electromagnetic valve when the vehicle power supply is off, and a parking-brake-controlling-electromagnetic-valve energization detection storage unit to store therein a result of detection until stored contents are reset.

Abstract: After latest door opening-side information is received from an operational management server on a ground after a train starts an operation, train-information managing apparatuses output the door opening-side information to display control apparatuses as guidance data, the display control apparatuses create video data indicating an opening side of doors for all stops at least between a next stop and a terminal station of the train using the door opening-side information, and displays perform display using the video data.

Abstract: The train-information management device includes a position detection unit; a regenerating-condition detection unit that detects a regenerative-brake usage condition; a train-line-information holding unit that holds therein information on a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake; a residual-air-amount calculation unit that calculates the amount of residual air in an air tank; and a compressor control unit that controls a compressor. In a regeneration-preparation condition, if a train is running through a position where the distance between the position and a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake is equal to or less than a given value, if the train does not use a regenerative brake, and if the amount of residual air reaches 0%, the compressor control unit causes a compressor to start generating compressed air.

Abstract: The present invention includes a position detection unit; a regenerating-condition detection unit; a train-line information holding unit that holds therein information on a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake; an air-conditioning set-value holding unit that holds therein a temperature set value of an air conditioner; and a target-temperature control unit that decides a target temperature. In a regeneration-preparation condition in which a train is running through a position at which the distance between the position and a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake is equal to or less than a given value and in which the train does not use a regenerative brake, the target-temperature control unit decides a value, generated by adding a predetermined value to the temperature set value, as the target temperature.

Abstract: Train information managing apparatuses each include a plurality of pieces of control software of versions different from each other. The train information managing apparatus mounted on a head car compares version information of software for devices collected concerning all devices in a formation and version correspondence information included in each of the plurality of pieces of control software, discriminates control software including version correspondence information consistent with the version information of the software for devices concerning all the devices in the formation, when the discriminated control software is different from already-started control software, selects and starts the discriminated control software, and transmits a switching command for switching from the already-started control software to the discriminated control software to a train information managing apparatus mounted on another car.
