TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, TRAFFIC CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

Adjustment values, including a station stop time or a departure interval, are set for each vehicle. Next, the set adjustment values and a traveling pattern are used to calculate the power consumption by and regenerative power from each vehicle when in operation for each time point. Next, the total vehicle power at each time point is calculated by subtracting the total regenerative power from braking vehicles from the total power consumption by powering vehicles one a per time point basis. Next, a positive value or a negative value is extracted from the total vehicle power at each time point. Next, an evaluation value is calculated using the absolute value of the total of the extracted values. Next, adjustment values that produce the smaller evaluation value are identified.

1. A traffic control device that manages operation of a plurality of vehicles operating in a predetermined traveling pattern, the traffic control device comprising:
an adjustment value setting unit that sets an adjustment value including at least one of a station stop time and a departure interval for each vehicle; an electric power calculation unit that calculates power consumption and regenerative power of each vehicle when the vehicles travel using the adjustment value set by the adjustment value setting unit and the traveling pattern on a per time point basis; an evaluation value calculation unit that, on a per time time point basis on which the electric power calculation unit calculates power consumption and regenerative power, executes a step of calculating total vehicle power at each time point by subtracting the total of regenerative power from braking vehicles from the total of power consumption from powering vehicles, a step of extracting at least one value of a positive value and a negative value from the total vehicle power at each time point, and a step of calculating an evaluation value using the absolute value of the total of the extracted values; and an optimum value identification unit that identifies the adjustment value producing a smaller evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit.
