A vehicle door is operated in accordance with a desired speed pattern.

A vehicle door opening-closing control device 1 includes a power-supply voltage detecting unit 2 that outputs a detection value of a power-supply voltage of an electric motor 13, a reference control pattern storage unit 3 that stores a reference control pattern that indicates a voltage command value or a speed command value for the electric motor 13, the reference control pattern is a control pattern of the electric motor when the detection value is within a predetermined range, a control pattern generating unit 4a that generates a corrected control pattern that is obtained by correcting the reference control pattern based on the detection value, and a PWM control unit 4 that controls the electric motor 13 based on the corrected control pattern.

A motorman's cab in a train is provided with a plurality of door operating switches that open and close the train doors on the station-platform side in a fully-automatic manner, in a semi-automatic manner, or in a manner that open and close doors in sections. A central device 10 includes an information control unit 12 that specifies a stopping station where a train stops next on the basis of train information; selects a recommended door operating switch at the stopping station from among the door operating switches on the basis of an estimated passenger-number value 1a, which is the number of passengers at the stopping station, as a recommended door operating switch for the stopping station; and then it displays display information 16 that prompts the train crew to operate the selected door operating switch on a display device 4 in the control platform.

Provided are: a railroad vehicle that efficiently moves a door to an airtight position and makes it possible to maintain the air tightness of the door without increasing the size of a cylinder device even when the door must be moved across a distance to arrive at the airtight position; and a plug door for a railroad vehicle. When a door (8) moves to the position that is indicated by the two-dot/dash line in FIG. 1, a piston (32) extends in the vehicle width direction, a pressing member (33) is brought into contact with the inner surface of the door (8), and the door (8) is moved toward a door frame (W) (in the vehicle body width direction). Due to the fact that an auxiliary pressing device (30) brings the piston (32) into perpendicular contact with the inner surface of the door (8), it is possible to efficiently move and press the door (8) without increasing the size of a cylinder device even when the door must be moved across a distance to arrive at an airtight position. In addition, the main pressing device (40) that is indicated in FIGS. 5(a)-5(b) is subsequently used to further press the door (8) toward the door frame (W).
