Abstract
Abstract Transmitter and receiver units (28, ..., 31, 32 ..., 35) each connected to corresponding one of a plurality of sections (37 ..., 42; 43 ..., 48) of an information transmission line (36), information transmission units (24, 25; 26, 27), control-processing unit (22; 23) and a single administration-processing unit (21) are arranged to form a hierarchy structure. The administration-processing unit (21) monitors the operation of the whole system and supplies to the control-processing units (22; 23) information relating to a train service schedule of a group of trains, a modified train service schedule to meet a change in demand, etc., and the control-processing units (22; 23) performs the traffic control of each train.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A train service administration and control system including means for exchanging information including status information indicative of the operating status of a plurality of trains (53, ..., 54) running on the track, and command information controlling the operation of the train through an information transmission line (36) divided into a plurality of sections (37, 38, ..., 41, 42) of a predetermined length extending along the entire length of the track thereby controlling the train operation according to a train service schedule, characterized in that a plurality of transmitter and receiver units (28, 29, ..., 30, 31) connected individually to said sections of said information transmission line, at least one information transmission unit (24, ..., 25) to be connected to at least one of said transmitter and receiver units, at least one control-processing unit (22) to be connected to said information transmission unit, and a single administration-processing unit (21) to be connected to said at least one control-processing unit, are connected to form a hierachy structure in this order with said administration-processing unit at the top echelon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
A train service administration and control system including means for exchanging information including status information indicative of the operating status of a plurality of trains (53, ..., 54) running on the track, and command information controlling the operation of the train through an information transmission line (36) divided into a plurality of sections (37, 38, ..., 41, 42) of a predetermined length extending along the entire length of the track thereby controlling the train operation according to a train service schedule, characterized in that a plurality of transmitter and receiver units (28, 29, ..., 30, 31) connected individually to said sections of said information transmission line, at least one information transmission unit (24, ..., 25) to be connected to at least one of said transmitter and receiver units, at least one control-processing unit (22) to be connected to said information transmission unit, and a single administration-processing unit (21) to be connected to said at least one control-processing unit, are connected to form a hierachy structure in this order with said administration-processing unit at the top echelon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A train service administration and control systm as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said administration-processing unit (21) and said control-processing unit (22) are connected to each other by an exclusive circuit (63).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A train service administration and control system as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that at least one of said administration-processing unit (21), said control-processing unit (22), said information transmission unit (24, ..., 25) and the group of said plural transmitter and receive units (28, 29, ..., 30, 31) is further redundantly added to provide a multiplex system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
132 words
A train service administration and control systm, as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that, there are further provided a plurality of information transmission line sections (43, 44, ..., 47, 48) of a predetermined length extending along an extension of said track, a plurality of transmitter and receiver units (32, 33, ..., 34, 35) connected individually to said information transmission line sections, at least one information transmission unit (26, ..., 27) to be connected to at least one of said transmitter and receiver units, and at least one control-processing unit (23) to said information transmission unit, all of said units being disposed in a hierarchy in the above order, with said control-processing unit (23) being connected to said administration-processing unit (21) of the highest order in the hierarchy arrangement.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
82 words
A method for train service administration and control by a train service administration and control system as claimed in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, characterized in that at least one control-processing unit (22) is connected to a single administration-processing unit (21), train service schedule information from said administration-processing unit is supplied to said control-processing unit, and the service of trains (53, ..., 54) existing within the governing range of said control-processing unit is controlled by the function of said control-processing unit.
