In the 450MHz wireless train dispatch communication system, different audio or sub-audio signals are used to distinguish the called equipment during wireless device calls. The call signaling unit 5 includes an audio signaling shaping circuit 17 and a sub-audio modem 18. The audio signaling shaping circuit 17 is used to shape the square wave of the audio signaling generated by the main control unit 1 into a sine wave and send it to the wireless unit for wireless transmission, thereby generating and transmitting audio signals for the dispatching switchboard to call the locomotive radio; or it can demodulate the sine wave of the audio signaling received by the wireless communication unit 2 from the locomotive radio to call the dispatching switchboard into a square wave, which is then demodulated by the main control unit to achieve the audio signaling decoding function.

[0036] The main control unit controls the walkie-talkie to enter the transmitting state and can send the audio signal sent by the audio unit. When the walkie-talkie is in the receiving state, it notifies the main control unit that it is in the receiving state. At this time, the wirelessly received audio signal is sent to the audio unit for amplitude adjustment and then sent to the corresponding communication channel to realize the wireless public network mobile communication function between the station radio and other station radios, locomotive radios, and portable radios, and to realize the wireless communication function of transferring dispatch commands and locomotive radios.

[0037] The main control unit performs channel control on the 450MHz channel receiver, enabling channel switching. The main control unit controls the 450MHz channel receiver to enter transmit mode, at which point it can transmit either the sub-audio signal output by the sub-audio unit or the audio signal output by the audio unit. When the 450MHz channel receiver is in receive mode, it notifies the main control unit that it is in receive mode. The 450MHz channel receiver demodulates the sub-audio signal from the radio carrier signal and sends it to the sub-audio unit for demodulation. The demodulated audio signal is then sent to the audio unit for amplitude adjustment before being sent to the corresponding audio channel, thus enabling 450MHz wireless communication between the station radio and the intercom / locomotive radio.

The audio signaling from the locomotive radio to the dispatching switchboard received by the wireless communication unit 2 is shaped from a sine wave into a square wave by the audio signaling shaping circuit 17, and then demodulated by the MCU in the main control unit, realizing the decoding function of the audio signaling from the locomotive radio to the dispatching switchboard.

[0050] Train wireless dispatch communication

[0051] Train wireless dispatch communication can achieve mobile communication through the existing 450MHz communication system, and can also switch to the public mobile wireless network to achieve communication in tunnels or other weak field areas.

[0052] Based on the public mobile network, the station radio supports group calls and all station radios, locomotive radios, and portable radios within the network system based on the unified device number, and also enables call functionality.

[0056] (1) Small triangle communication

[0057] When a locomotive is running in a tunnel or other area with weak 450MHz signal strength, the driver can switch to a public mobile wireless network via the control box to selectively call a station radio device. After receiving the data, the public mobile wireless network device in the tunnel or a base station along the line uploads it to the server via the TCP / IP network. The server analyzes the data and forwards it to the designated station radio device in the same train as the originating locomotive radio device. Upon receiving the data, the station radio device decompresses the data to restore the voice, completing a walkie-talkie call. Conversely, the station duty officer can also selectively call a locomotive running in the tunnel via the station radio device.

[0058] (2)Big Triangle Communication

[0059] When a locomotive is operating in a tunnel or other area with weak 450MHz signal strength, the dispatcher can communicate with the locomotive driver through the public network dispatch platform. After the dispatcher selects the locomotive equipment in the tunnel through the public network dispatch platform, the data is uploaded to the server via TCP / IP network. The server analyzes the data and forwards it to the public network equipment in the tunnel or the base station along the line near the locomotive equipment. The public network equipment in the tunnel or the base station along the line then wirelessly forwards the data to the designated locomotive radio equipment.

[0060] Train rear safety information transmission

[0061] The train's rear safety protection system features dual-mode communication via 450MHz and the public network. The locomotive equipment and the rear-end device transmit rear-end information in dual-mode. When the locomotive enters a tunnel or other area with weak 450MHz signal strength, the locomotive equipment sends a rear-end information query via the public network. Upon receiving the data, the public network device in the tunnel uploads it to the switching server via TCP / IP. The server analyzes the data and forwards it to the designated rear-end device within the same train formation as the initiating locomotive. Conversely, when the locomotive enters a tunnel, the rear-end device can also transmit rear-end alarm information via the public network.

[0062] Wireless train number transmission

[0063] When the TAX box controls the locomotive radio to forward train operation data, in addition to wirelessly transmitting information to the station data receiver decoder in the existing 450MHz mode, the locomotive radio also wirelessly sends the train number information in the form of public mobile wireless network. After receiving the data, the base stations along the line upload it to the server through the TCP / IP network. After analyzing the data, the server forwards the data to the designated IP user (CTC / TDCS) through the wired network.

[0064] Dispatch command wireless transmission

[0065] In addition to the existing 450MHz mode, dispatch command wireless information can also be transmitted via station radio equipment. When the CTC / TDCS center controls the station radio equipment to wirelessly transmit dispatch command data, the base stations along the line receive the data and upload it via TCP / IP network to the tunnel public mobile wireless network equipment or the base stations along the line near the locomotive equipment. The tunnel public mobile wireless network equipment or the base stations along the line then wirelessly forward the data to the designated locomotive radio equipment.

[0066] The locomotive equipment wirelessly transmits dispatch commands, automatic receipts, and manual signature information via public mobile wireless networks. After receiving the data, the public mobile wireless network equipment in the tunnel or the base station along the line uploads it to the server via the TCP / IP network. After analyzing the data, the server forwards it to the designated IP user (CTC / TDCS) via the wired network.
