Description

[0002] Before a signal system or a train control system, especially a newly developed signal system or a train control system, is put into operation, indoor simulation tests and test line (or test line) operation tests are often carried out to verify its functions and performance. Among them, the multi-vehicle tracking test is a very important link and content.

[0003] When conducting multi-car tracking tests on a test line, due to cost and line conditions of most test lines, generally only one or two real trains can be operated. In order to achieve the purpose of the multi-car tracking test, the corresponding track sections are usually occupied and cleared manually or by controlling the track circuit relays through a simple timing control device to simulate the operation of other trains besides the real trains and achieve the test purpose.

[0004] However, the above methods are often difficult to accurately simulate the operating performance and performance of real trains and on-board control systems, and cannot achieve good test results. In addition, for systems such as the CTCS-N new train control system that do not fully use physical means (track circuits or axle counting) to detect train occupancy, the above traditional methods are completely unable to meet the needs of tracking tests.

The real signal system in this embodiment is a real signal system of CTCS-3 (CTCS, China Train Control System) level or above. The present invention is also applicable to real signal systems of other levels, such as real signal systems of CTCS-2 level and below. The present invention is not limited by the level of the signal system.

[0054] The center CTC.16 issues the operation plan of the real train 11 and the simulation train 102 to the station CTC.15.

In the real signal system of CTCS-3 level and above, the movement authorization of the simulated train 102 and the real train 11 are both from the central train control system 17 in the real system 1.

[0059] The interface unit is used to synchronously update the driving information of the real train 11 and the simulated train 102 in real signal system and trackside signal system in real time, so as to realize the interactive operation of the real train 11 and the simulated train 102 in the real system 1 and the simulated system 2. It should be noted that the operation of the simulated train 102 in the real system 1 in the present invention refers to: changing the occupation / clearance state and signal state of the corresponding real track section in the real system 1 based on the driving information of the simulated train 102 in the simulated system 2. The operation of the real train 11 in the simulation system 2 in the present invention refers to: changing the occupation / clearance state and signal state of the corresponding simulated track section in the simulation system 2 based on the driving information of the real train 11 in the real system 1. The interactive operation described in the present invention refers to: when the real system 1 and the simulation system 2 interact with the driving information of the real train 11 and the simulated train 102 in real time through the interface unit, the real train 11 and the simulated train 102 are simultaneously operated in the real system 1 and the simulation system 2.

The central train control system 17 sends a mobile authorization to the simulated on-board train control system 103 through the seventh interface. In the present invention, the driving conditions of the simulated train 102 are reflected to the real system 1 through any one or more of the hardware interface unit 105 and the seventh interface. In the present invention, the real on-board train control system 12 and the central train control system 17, and the simulated on-board train control system 103 and the central train control system 17 have the same communication protocol.

[0065] The present invention also provides a method for interactive operation of a real train and a simulated train, which is implemented by the system for interactive operation of a real train and a simulated train of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the steps of:

[0066] S1. The trackside simulation system 101 obtains the driving information of the real train 11 through the software interface unit 106, and based on the driving information of the real train 11, displays the simulated track section corresponding to the position of the real train 11 as occupied;

[0067] S2, the trackside simulation system 101 verifies whether the position for adding a car to the simulated train 102 is legal; if legal (when the position for adding a car to the simulated train 102 does not conflict with the position of the real train 11), the state of the simulated track section corresponding to the position for adding a car to the simulated train 102 is displayed as occupied in the trackside simulation system 101;

[0068] Displaying the real track section corresponding to the simulated track section as occupied in the real system 1 through the hardware interface unit 105 includes:

[0069] S21, the trackside simulation system 101 sends a track section occupancy signal of the simulated train 102 to the corresponding trackside relays in the interlocking system 14 and the station train control system 13 through the hardware interface unit 105, and the corresponding trackside relays in the real system 1 are actuated;

[0070] S22. In the real system 1, the interlocking system 14 and the station train control system 13 set the state of the real track section corresponding to the adding position of the simulated train 102 to occupied based on the recovery signal of the corresponding trackside relay.

[0071] S3. In the real system 1, a route is provided for the simulated train 102, and corresponding signals are opened; the route status and signal opening status are synchronized to the simulated system 2;

The interlocking system 14 and the station train control system 13 can collect the state of the track relay and set the corresponding real track section to occupied or clear in the real system 1, thereby realizing the operation of the simulated train 102 in the real system 1 (through interface 1 and interface 2).

[0079] The software interface unit 106 is implemented by software that interfaces with the CTC center. The software communicates with the CTC center through a standard open interface (i.e., using Figure 1 Interface 6) in the real system 1 synchronizes the train operation status to the trackside simulation.
