Title:
DEVICE FOR COUNTING NUMBER OF PASSENGER ON PLATFORM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH01257665
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable the grasping of crowded conditions on a platform by obtaining the difference between the number of passengers getting on and off a train arrived and the difference between the number of passengers getting in and out of a platform wicket, and adding the values, thereby indexing the number of passengers on the platform. CONSTITUTION:Potentiometers 101a-103a, 101b-103b for detecting the change in resistance value based on the number of passengers with respect to the car fore and aft are provided at the respective cars forming a train. The output signals thereof are input to an onboard controller 304. The difference between the total loads of cars 10-30 are obtained by taking the signals in at the time of opening and closing of a door switch 305 when the train is stopped along the platform, and it is transmitted to the ground side through an antenna 308. On the ground side, an on-ground controller 404 is provided, to take in the difference between load data upon the completion of door close operation from the load data just before the start-up of door opening operation of cars and to convert it into the number of passengers, and to display the crowded conditions of platform through a display 408 by considering the number of passengers coming in and out of a wicket 405.
