Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of maintenance of railway dispatching and command systems, and particularly to an operation and maintenance method and device for an autonomous CTC system. Background Technique

[0002] The TDCS / CTC system has become the core system for railway dispatching and command. The key devices of the CTC system include application servers, database servers, self-discipline machines / comprehensive processors, and network devices, etc. The structure of the CTC system is as Figure 1 shown, including servers, operating systems, databases, network devices, and middleware. At the levels of hardware devices and operating systems, except for the self-discipline machine / comprehensive processor which uses dedicated devices, application servers and communication servers are all commercial COTS devices, and a large part of them use the Windows operating system; most database servers use imported minicomputers and commercial database systems from abroad. The vast majority of devices and operating systems used in the system are provided by foreign manufacturers. Therefore, the development of the CTC system and the construction of the Chinese railway are greatly restricted by foreign technologies. The CTC operation and maintenance method refers to the online monitoring and operation and maintenance management of general servers, terminal machines, windows / Linux operating systems, network devices, and databases that carry the CTC system services. The current CTC operation and maintenance have the following difficulties: (1) For commercial hardware devices of foreign servers, the device models change frequently, and the spare parts costs and maintenance difficulties for operation and maintenance units are relatively high; (2) The entire live network of the CTC system uses Oracle databases and IBM storage devices, but the overall price is relatively high, the product updates and upgrades quickly, and the operation and maintenance costs continue to increase; (3) The CTC system uses the Windows operating system extensively, and the risk of being attacked by the network or invaded by viruses is still very high, and the losses caused by information leakage incidents are inestimable.

[0003] The CTC system is a key information infrastructure and a Class-IV system for classified protection, and has very high requirements for the network security and information security of the railway dispatching and command system. However, as can be seen from the above existing application background, many core technologies of the CTC system are subject to foreign countries. At the national level, there are also the same problems with the core technologies of many domestic industries and systems as those in the CTC system. To solve this problem, China has clarified the construction strategy of "Digital China" and put forward the "2+8" security and controllability system. The transportation field is included in the 8 industries related to national economy and people's livelihood, and it is required to replace with autonomous products in aspects such as basic hardware, basic software, and industry application software to truly achieve autonomy and controllability. Currently, the CTC system has started to replace and apply autonomous products, carried out on-site pilot projects, and gradually carried out on-site applications.

[0004] With the gradual application and popularization of autonomous CTC, the autonomous software and hardware maintenance poses relatively high requirements for railway signal workers. How to accurately and efficiently help signal maintenance workers master the equipment status and promptly handle and solve fault problems becomes particularly important. However, the existing CTC operation and maintenance methods and systems are for general equipment, and there is no operation and maintenance method for the system developed autonomously. At present, the operation and maintenance methods mainly rely on regular manual detection, repair, and maintenance, and can only rely on the equipment status monitoring and manual maintenance methods to carry out periodic planned maintenance, unable to achieve preventive maintenance, and the real-time performance of CTC system operation and maintenance is poor. Some CTC operation and maintenance methods have also introduced real-time monitoring methods and technologies. However, due to the technical limitations of general equipment manufacturers, the real-time monitoring methods and technologies often can only adopt network communication protocols such as SNMP and IMM. In the autonomous CTC environment, the operating system version is different from the existing one, and the components included are also different. The general SNMP service or IMM module cannot meet the operation and maintenance requirements under the Xinchuang platform. In addition, the Regulations on the Protection of Critical Information Infrastructures and the basic requirements of Classified Protection 2.0 clearly put forward the requirements for secure operation and maintenance. As a critical information infrastructure and a Class-IV classified protection system, in the autonomous environment, the application of autonomous components such as servers, hardware, switches, operating systems, and middleware itself has information security design and applications, involving information security operation and maintenance information such as terminal security (such as viruses and malicious codes) and boundary security (illegal intrusion and illegal external connection), and a new maintenance method is more needed for support. Summary of the Invention
