What 鉄道運転計画・運行管理 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
線路が複線か単線か、駅と駅の距離や時間、停車時間、運行列車の走行性能、優等列車による追い抜き、他の列車との接続はどうかなど、様々な条件を調整する。鉄道利用者は、季節、曜日、時間などによって違い、乗車駅や降車駅、乗継駅も様々であるため、ダイヤ改正時などには鉄道輸送市場の調査・分析、客の要望や動向を踏まえて需要想定を行い、より利用しやすい列車ダイヤを作案する。また、乗務員の運用、駅や乗務員の要員配置などの諸条件を調整しながら旅客や荷主にとって利用しやすい計画を作成する。
鉄道運行管理の仕事は、決められた列車ダイヤに基づいて列車が計画通りに走っているか運行状況を把握し、管理する。
保線や信号、電力設備などの保守作業が時間どおりに計画した区間で行われているかを確認する。また、CTC（列車集中制御装置）センターで、ポイントの切り換えや信号の表示などを遠隔操作で行う。地震や事故などで列車が遅れた時には、遅れの状況や復旧の見込みなどの情報を集め、行先駅の変更や追い越し駅の変更、列車の運休など運転計画を修正する。これを運転士、車掌、駅務員に指示し、遅れた列車ダイヤを安全に留意し一刻も早く正常に戻す作業を行うのが任務となる。
