The invention discloses an automatic 
station detection method of a 
public transport vehicle in a line operation progress. The method comprises the steps of correctly judging 
station in all scenes to conduct detection according to a current 
station sequence number, a driving direction state, a local storage line station coordinate, a current station attribute and position data obtained after real-time updating. According to the automatic station detection method of the 
public transport vehicle in the line operation progress, in the process of 
public transport vehicle operation driving, a vehicle-mounted terminal obtains information such as the current vehicle position coordinate, an 
azimuth angle and speed after updating according to 
satellite positioning to automatically discriminate and adjust a current vehicle operation driving direction. A driving-in station and a driving-out station are judged, a current station sequence is updated, and line type stations including a conventional line, a loop line, a 
ladle-shaped line, an X-shaped line and the like can be automatically detected. Furthermore, various situations such as midway driving on the line, detouring and midway turning round can be automatically judged, and the accuracy of automatic station detection is ensured.
