Method and device for switching virtual coupling mode of trains

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and device for switching a virtual coupling mode of trains. The method comprises the steps of setting a coupling plan and a coupling area according tothe current passenger flow information of each platform; screening out two to-be-coupled trains according to the coupling plan, and indicating the two to-be-coupled trains to enter the coupling area;controlling the rear vehicle in the two to-be-coupled trains to approach the front vehicle to be at a preset coupling distance; and executing a preset virtual coupling process to combine the two to-be-coupled trains into one coupled train, and operating in a virtual coupling mode; wherein the virtual coupling process comprises the step of building train-train communication between the two to-be-coupled trains. According to the method and device for switching the virtual coupling mode of the trains, the coupling plan and the coupling area are set according to the passenger flow information ofeach platform, so that the virtual coupling process is executed on the two screened-out to-be-coupled trains. Train-train communication between the two to-be-coupled trains is established, and therefore the efficiency of train operation is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rail transit, and in particular to a method and device for switching a train virtual coupling mode. Background technique [0002] At present, in urban rail transit, the minimum traffic interval of the signal system is 2 minutes, but due to the large passenger flow in the morning and evening peaks, even if the traffic interval of 2 minutes is adopted, it still cannot meet the passenger flow. In order to further improve the passenger capacity of subway trains, generally large-scale subway trains can be used, such as 6, 8, and 10 trains, to improve the total passenger capacity by increasing the passenger capacity of each train. However, due to the small passenger flow during non-morning and evening peak hours, if the continuous use of large-group trains will cause the trains to be basically empty and increase energy consumption for no reason; and the use of large-group trains while increasing the distance be...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing large marshalling trains generally consist of 2 small marshalling trains connected physically in the garage. At the same time, the participation of dispatchers, drivers, and trackside commanders is required. It can be seen that this marshalling method is complicated , time-consuming, resulting in low passenger efficiency
