Abstract (en)

The objective of the present invention is to minimize the sum of delay times of trains managed in a train operation management system and the number of operation cancellations of the trains when an operational trouble occurs. A method for selecting an alternative operating route for a train of the present invention includes the step of preparing beforehand all travelable routes from a current location to a destination place of trains, travel times to travel the travelable routes, trouble-caused delay times according to trouble types, and operational delay times for inter-train troubles. When an operational trouble of a train occurs, a sum of a travel time, a trouble-caused delay time, and an operational delay time is obtained for each of combinations of the travelable routes for all trains in operation, and a combination of the travelable routes for which the sum is smallest is extracted as an alternative operating route for the train.
