  • Patent number: 10494004
    Abstract: A degradation estimation system includes a processing unit simulating an operation mode of equipment on a corresponding railroad section at each set-up timing based on corresponding railroad section timetable information, and processing respective simulation results, and an estimation unit aggregating respective processing results of the processing unit. The processing unit simulates a travel transition of each training existing in the corresponding railroad section timetable information as a dynamic of each train based on corresponding railroad section timetable information and a running curve, simulates a state change of each track circuit based on the simulation result and railroad track information, and simulates an operational change of the equipment on each track circuit. The estimation unit aggregates the simulation result of the processing unit indicating the operational change of the equipment disposed on each track circuit, and estimates the degradation of the equipment from the aggregation result.

  • Publication number: 20190318253
    Abstract: A statistical model of a delay time of each mobile body to a plan schedule is generated in a predetermined section on the basis of the plan schedule, an actual schedule that is a daily travel result of the mobile body, and actual values of delay factors in a chronological order, at least either of past result analysis processing of classifying a first delay time that is a delay time of the mobile body into second delay times that are delay times of the delay factors of the mobile body on the basis of the generated statistical model and the actual values of the delay factors and future prediction analysis processing of predicting a third delay time that is a delay time of a requested mobile body on the basis of the statistical model and assumed values of the delay factors with respect of a new plan schedule is executed.

  • Publication number: 20130318002
    Abstract: A resource management plan creation support device reads in a travel schedule, represents, as one node, each path from an originating location to a terminating location of each leg included in a travel schedule that has been read in, and creates a network model by connecting together, using links, the legs over which consecutive travel is possible based upon the place and time. In addition, nodes representing auxiliary resources are added to the created network, and the network model is updated by adding links representing temporary usage of the auxiliary resources or temporary cessation of use of business-use resources. Also, by finding a path group encompassing each node of the network model so as to satisfy a pre-supplied condition (the condition of allocating resources to all of the legs), a management plan for resources which execute transport services is created.
