乗客の到達時間予測に基づく鉄道車両ドアの閉扉操作の自動化

抄録

One of the causes of train delays is the reopening and closing of doors. Therefore, we propose an algorithm to determine when the doors can be safely closed within the time limit, based on the prediction of the passengers’ arrival time to the doors. The prediction of arrival time is based on the measurement of transit time. The closing door timing is determined by the list of possible closing times and the remaining time. In this paper, we describe the closed-door algorithm, experiments on subjects for predicting arrival time, and evaluation experiments of the proposed method. In experiments, the algorithm was shown to be effective for passengers who boarded the train at equal intervals.
