Claim 0:
1. A train control device, which controls trains by using an environmental model that is defined by the number of a plurality of closed sections constituting a track included in a predetermined control target region, a connection configuration of the closed sections, and the number of trains present on the track, a state of the environmental model being changed discretely according to a combination of a position of one control target train that is the train to be controlled, positions of zero or more other trains, and presence or absence of reservation for each of the closed sections, the train control device comprising:
a control logic generation unit configured to generate a control logic that is a logic for selecting any one of actions of “reservation of a closed section or release of the reservation”, “movement to a reserved closed section”, and “standby in a current closed section”, which are to be performed by the control target train depending on the state of the environmental model, and transitioning the state of the environmental model depending on the selection result, so as to satisfy a predetermined condition that is a condition for passing through the control target region;
an action determination unit configured to sequentially determine the actions, which are to be performed by the control target train depending on the state of the environmental model, on the basis of the generated control logic until the predetermined condition is satisfied; and
a regeneration instruction unit configured to instruct the control logic generation unit to regenerate the control logic with a present state of the environmental model as an initial state before the predetermined condition is satisfied.
