Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a platform door linkage control method, in particular to a platform door linkage control method for flexible marshaling of urban rail transit. Background Art

[0002] When an urban rail transit train stops at a station with platform doors, the signal system realizes the linkage opening and closing of the train doors and platform doors in automatic mode to complete the boarding and alighting service. Usually, the signal system sends a single door opening or closing command to the platform door to open or close all the platform doors, and the platform door then feeds back the closed and locked status of all the platform doors to the system. Currently, for lines with flexible train formations, the signal system needs to send platform door opening and closing commands corresponding to different train formations (i.e., different train types) to the platform door. However, when the coupled train is decoupled into two single train formations at the platform, each single train formation needs to control different platform doors to open and close according to the parking position, and the original system of sending different platform door opening and closing commands by train type is no longer applicable to this scenario. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a platform door linkage control method for flexible grouping of urban rail transit.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for controlling platform doors in flexible marshaling of urban rail transit is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step S1) dividing the platform doors into zones according to the parking positions of the train types;

[0007] Step S2) After the train stops at the station, the onboard system sends a door opening and closing command to the trackside system based on the corresponding door opening and closing command relationship with the platform door;

[0008] Step S3) The wayside system performs a consistency check on the received door opening and closing commands and forwards the valid door opening and closing commands to the platform door system;

[0009] Step S4) the platform door system controls the specific platform door to open or close according to the door opening and closing command;

[0010] Step S5) The platform door system provides the trackside system with the closing and locking status of each platform door area. The trackside system forwards the closing and locking status of the platform door area to the onboard system, which implements the departure permission function and the platform door accidental opening protection function.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the types of marshaled trains in step S1) include single marshaled trains and coupled marshaled trains.

[0012] As an optimal technical solution, the area division in step S1) is specifically as follows: the platform door area corresponding to the conductor of the coupled train, the platform door area corresponding to the conductor of the first single train, and the platform door area corresponding to the conductor of the second single train.

[0013] As an optimal technical solution, the platform door area corresponding to the length of the first single-carriage train is the platform door area where the train stops with the front of the train facing the head of the platform; the platform door area corresponding to the length of the second single-carriage train is the platform door area where the train stops with the rear of the train facing the rear of the platform.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the door opening and closing commands in step S2) include a door opening command and a door closing command, "1" indicates that the command is valid, and "0" indicates that the command is invalid.

[0015] As an optimal technical solution, the corresponding door opening and closing command relationship in step S2) is specifically as follows: when the train's on-board system calculates that the train length is completely within the corresponding platform door area and stops on time according to the train operation task, the door is opened and closed by sending the door opening and closing command of the corresponding platform door area.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the consistency check in step S3) is specifically as follows: for the same platform door area, when a valid door opening command is received from one train and a valid door closing command is received from another train at the same time, it is determined that the door opening and closing command of this platform door area is invalid.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the door opening and closing commands in step S4) are valid door opening and closing commands for each train received by the trackside system of the same platform.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the method is applicable to fixed block systems, quasi-mobile block systems and mobile block systems.

[0019] As an optimal technical solution, the method described is applicable to signal systems that use train coupling and uncoupling functions and platform door linkage control under the CBTC system, CTCS system, ETCS system, PTC system, ITCS system and TACS system standards.

[0020] According to a third aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor implements the method when executing the program.

[0021] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored, and when the program is executed by a processor, the method described above is implemented.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] 2. This function supports coupled trains with flexible marshaling lines. After being demarshalled into two single trains at the same platform, the corresponding platform door switches can be controlled separately to enable passengers to get on and off, thereby improving efficiency.

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example

[0032] The present invention provides a platform door linkage control method for flexible grouping of urban rail transit, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, according to the parking position of the train type (single train and coupled train), the platform door area (PSD zone) of each platform is divided in the system: the platform door area of ​​the coupled train corresponds to the PSD zone ID = X, and this PSD zone is only applicable to the coupled train; the platform door area of ​​the single train (such as Figure 1The TU1 parking position in the figure) is used to align the train head with the platform door area where the train stops at the platform head (i.e. the train door corresponds to the platform door on the half side of the platform head), corresponding to PSD zone ID = Xa. This PSD zone is only applicable to single-unit trains; single-unit trains (such as Figure 1 TU2 parking position in the figure), with the rear of the train aligned with the platform door area at the rear end of the platform (i.e., the train door corresponds to the half-side platform door at the rear end of the platform one to one), corresponding to PSD zone ID = Xb. This PSD zone is only applicable to single-marshaling trains.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, when the train stops at the station, the correspondence between the door opening and closing commands of the train on the platform and the platform door is as follows: when the on-board system of a single-marshaling train calculates that the train length is completely within the range of PSD zone ID=Xa and stops accurately according to the train operation task, it is necessary to send a door opening and closing command containing the PSD ID=Xa identifier to open and close the door; when the on-board system of a single-marshaling train calculates that the train length is completely within the range of PSD zone ID=Xb and stops accurately according to the train operation task, it is necessary to send a door opening and closing command containing the PSDID=Xb identifier to open and close the door; when the on-board system of a coupled marshaling train calculates that the train length is completely within the range of PSDzone ID=X and stops accurately, it is necessary to send a door opening and closing command containing the PSD ID=X identifier (or containing PSD ID=Xa and PSD ID=Xb, which can be selected and designed according to the application situation) to open and close the door.

[0034] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0035] (1) When a coupled train stops at a station, it is located in PSD zone ID = 80. TU1 is the control train (lead train) and sends a door-opening command to the wayside system (since TU1 is already in this PSD zone and ahead of TU2, TU2 does not communicate with the wayside system). The wayside system sends a PSD 80 door-opening command to the platform door system. The platform door system opens the platform door corresponding to PSD 80 and reports the opening status of PSD 80 / PSD 81 / PSD 82 (PSD 80 covers PSD 81 and PSD 82) to the wayside system.

[0036] (2) When the coupled train is disassembled at the platform, PSD zone ID = 80 is not applicable to the train type of a single-train. Instead, TU1 is located in PSD zone ID = 81 and TU2 is located in PSD zone ID = 82. The two TU trains initiate communication with the trackside system separately. According to the train operation task, TU1 sends the PSD 81 door closing command. The trackside system sends the PSD81 door closing command to the platform door system. The platform door system closes the platform door corresponding to PSD 81 and feedbacks the PSD 81 closing status to the trackside system. After TU1's onboard system receives the PSD 81 closing status, if other departure conditions are met, it departs the station according to the train operation task. According to the train operation task, TU2 does not need to send the door closing command for the time being, so all command code bits are 0, and it continues to stop at the platform waiting for passengers to board.

[0037] (3) According to the train operation task, TU2 sends the PSD 82 door closing command, and the wayside system sends the PSD82 door closing command to the platform door system. The platform door system closes the platform door corresponding to PSD 82 and feeds back the PSD 82 / PSD 80 closing status to the wayside system. After the on-board system of TU2 receives the PSD 82 closing status, it departs the station according to the train operation task if other departure conditions are met.

[0038] The present invention also provides an embodiment of an electronic device and a storage medium, wherein the electronic device includes a central processing unit (CPU), which can perform various appropriate actions and processes according to computer program instructions stored in a read-only memory (ROM) or loaded from a storage unit into a random access memory (RAM).
