  • Linkage of a Conventional Line Dispatch System with the Shinkansen Dispatch System
    Computers in Railways XII 121 Linkage of a conventional line dispatch system with the Shinkansen dispatch system Y. Yoshino Administration Division, Transportation Department, Kyushu Railway Company, Japan Abstract With the partial opening of the Shin-Yatsushiro to Kagoshima-Chuo section of the Kyushu Shinkansen in March 2004, management of the connection to the conventional line limited express trains at Shin-Yatsushiro Station. It became important to provide a service in the Hakata to Kagoshima-Chuo section that was comparable to that of the transport system up to then. For that reason, station facilities were made to enable transfers between the Shinkansen and conventional line trains at the same platform. In addition, linkage functions between the Shinkansen and conventional line dispatch systems were set up as follows. - Referencing of conventional line timetables when considering revised Shinkansen timetables - Adding conventional line connection management functions to the Shinkansen programmed route control - Adding conventional line occupation display to the Shinkansen line occupation display and route control monitor - Displaying the conventional line timetable (planned and actual) on the Shinkansen timetable display monitor - Sharing of operation information provision between the Shinkansen and conventional lines - Guidance of trains and operation, including information relating to conventional line train connections on indicators for passengers The work is supported by means such as allowing dispatchers to identify the timetable

  • Himawari a Ssociation 秋号
    北九州国際交流協会 K itakyushu I nternational Himawari A ssociation 秋号 In this edition of HIMAWARI: Autumn Edition All about Autumn in KitaQ, Food, Sports, the International 2011 Autumn Festival in Yahata and other Lifestyle Information! Of the four seasons, autumn is probably the favorite in Japan. Autumn, or aki in Japanese, means many in Japan: it’s the season for sports, and also the season for reading, but autumn also means an increased ap- petite, the season for autumn leaves. There are also many more ways to enjoy autumn in Japan, that is to say here in Kitakyushu. In this edition of Himawari we will introduce some of these ways to you, and we hope you will spend a great autumn season here in Kitakyushu. We will start with the autumn leaves (koyo). If you have been in Japan more than 6 month, you will definitely remember the cherry blossoms. Generally, to Japanese, the colorful leaves are to autumn what cherry blossoms are to spring. The leaves turn into beautiful red, orange and yellow colors, and while the air is mild and fresh, you can enjoy some outdoor activities after the humid summer. Thus, you can imagine that many tourists visit Japan in the autumn. Some places might therefore, become quite crowded, but there are less crowded places where you can enjoy nature and take stunning pictures. Old temples and shrines are especially great places to visit during the autumn foliage season. Usually starting in mid September, the “koyo-front” moves from Hokkaido southward until it reaches Kyushu (usually in November).
