The invention relates to an intelligent control device of an underground railway turnout and a method thereof. The intelligent control device of the underground railway turnout comprises a main controller single-chip, a CAN switching Ethernet module, a point switch, a signal machine, a card reader substation, a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and an antenna, wherein the RFID is placed a locomotive headstock. The control method comprises the following steps: before a locomotive provided with the RFID is driven into a front turnout, and after the locomotive enters an induction range of an inductor mounted in front of the turnout for a certain distance, the inductor automatically identifies locomotive information in the RFID; and according to a preset path and a control mode, the intelligent main controller drives the point switch, transfers the turnout, and provides a signal indication to a driver. The device improves the safety and the automation level of underground mine production of mines, realizes both the automatic control and the remote control function of a dispatcher, records the remote control to automatically change the original planned path, has the advantages of safety, reliability and convenience for use, and needs no participation of the driver or the dispatcher in normal operation.
