Urban rail transit is one of the effective methods to solve this problem. Communication-based Train Control (CBTC) systems have become the main control system for urban rail transit.

[0003] In a CBTC system, the vehicle-to-ground data communication system serves as the bridge between the onboard controller and the ground signaling equipment. It enables continuous, bidirectional, high-speed, and reliable data communication between the onboard controller and the ground signaling equipment, thus tightly connecting the system's main component (the ground signaling equipment) and the controlled object (the vehicle).

[0036] To address the problems in the background art, embodiments of this disclosure provide a vehicle-to-ground data communication system, method, and storage medium. Specifically, the vehicle-to-ground data communication system includes: a WLAN system, an LTE system, and a terrestrial signal network; the WLAN system includes: a first vehicle-mounted subsystem and a first ground subsystem; the first vehicle-mounted subsystem includes: a first communication controller, a vehicle-mounted WLAN device, and a first feeder system; the first ground subsystem includes: a ground WLAN device; the LTE system includes: a second vehicle-mounted subsystem and a second ground subsystem; the second vehicle-mounted subsystem includes: a second communication controller, a TAU device, and a second feeder system; the second ground subsystem includes: an LTE access network, an LTE gateway, an LTE core network, and a terrestrial signal network gateway; the vehicle-mounted controller is connected to the terrestrial signal network through the WLAN system and the LTE system respectively; the terrestrial signal network is connected to the terrestrial signal device; the vehicle-mounted controller and the terrestrial signal device communicate via the WLAN system and the terrestrial signal network, or via the LTE system and the terrestrial signal network.

[0037] In this way, independent transmission paths for WLAN mode and LTE mode can be established during the upgrade, so that the data channels of the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode do not affect each other, thereby achieving mutual compatibility between the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode, and the upgrade process does not affect the operation of CBTC.

[0038] The vehicle-to-ground data communication system, method, and storage medium provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Figure 1 An architecture diagram of a vehicle-to-ground data communication system provided by an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-to-ground data communication system may include: WLAN system, LTE system, and terrestrial signal network.

[0040] The WLAN system includes a first vehicle-mounted subsystem and a first ground subsystem. The first vehicle-mounted subsystem includes a first communication controller, vehicle-mounted WLAN equipment, and a first feeder system; the first ground subsystem includes ground-based WLAN equipment.

[0041] The vehicle-mounted controller is connected to the ground signal network via a first communication controller, a vehicle-mounted WLAN device, a first feeder system, and a ground WLAN device. Specifically, the first communication controller is connected to the vehicle-mounted controller, the vehicle-mounted WLAN device is connected to the first communication controller, the first feeder system is connected to the vehicle-mounted WLAN device and the ground WLAN device, and the ground WLAN device is connected to the ground signal network.

[0042] The LTE system includes a second vehicle-mounted subsystem and a second ground subsystem. The second vehicle-mounted subsystem includes a second communication controller, a TAU device, and a second feeder system; the second ground subsystem includes an LTE access network, an LTE core network, an LTE gateway, and a ground signal network gateway.

[0043] The vehicle-mounted controller is connected to the ground signal network via a second communication controller, a TAU device, a second feeder system, an LTE access network, an LTE core network, an LTE gateway, and a ground signal network gateway. Specifically, the second communication controller is connected to the vehicle-mounted controller, the TAU device is connected to the second communication controller, the second feeder system is connected to the TAU device and the LTE access network, the LTE gateway is connected to the LTE access network, the LTE core network, and the ground signal network gateway, and the ground signal network gateway is connected to the ground signal network.

[0044] The ground signal network is connected to the ground signal equipment.

[0045] Data from the vehicle controller can be transmitted to ground signal equipment via WLAN system and ground signal network, and data from the ground signal equipment can be transmitted to the vehicle controller via ground signal network and WLAN system.

[0046] Specifically, during the vehicle operation period of the upgrade and transformation process, the on-board controller can communicate with the ground signal equipment via WLAN system and ground signal network.

[0047] Alternatively, the data from the vehicle controller can be transmitted to the ground signal equipment via the LTE system and the ground signal network, and the data from the ground signal equipment can be transmitted to the vehicle controller via the ground signal network and the WLAN system.

[0048] Specifically, during the vehicle commissioning period of the upgrade and transformation process, and after the vehicle transformation is completed, the on-board controller and the ground signal equipment can communicate via the LTE system and the ground signal network.

[0049] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the existing WLAN system adopts a Layer 2 local area network and the upgraded LTE system adopts a Layer 3 local area network. This allows for the establishment of independent transmission paths for WLAN mode and LTE mode during the upgrade process, ensuring that the data channels of the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode do not interfere with each other. This achieves mutual compatibility between the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode, and the upgrade process does not affect the operation of CBTC.

[0050] In some embodiments, the LTE system can be an LTE-M system, which is built independently of the upgrades of other signal systems, with no overlap in engineering implementation and no mutual interference.

[0051] The LTE access network can be an eNode-B network, which uses a dual-frequency co-location method to deploy base station equipment, simplifying the engineering design, site selection and testing, and equipment maintenance of LTE-M.

[0052] The LTE core network can be shared by the main line and the test line, that is, the architecture of sharing the core network between the main line and the test line can simplify the interference debugging of the data communication system between the vehicle base and the test line.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terrestrial signal network gateway can be a dual-redundant gateway to improve reliability, and it adopts a dynamic routing method based on link state monitoring to quickly achieve routing selection between the two.

[0054] In addition, the terrestrial signal network gateway can be set up in the same equipment room as the LTE core network equipment, thereby reducing the workload of engineering implementation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second communication controller and the TAU device can be powered independently and have their own air switches, which enables independent power supply control and LTE mode switching, thereby improving control efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, the first communication controller and the second communication controller can have different IP addresses, that is, different IP addresses are used to represent the same vehicle in WLAN mode and LTE mode respectively, and the IP address of the second communication controller is in a different network segment from the IP address of the ground signal equipment. This allows the WLAN system and the LTE system to be in different network segments, further improving the independence and compatibility of WLAN mode and LTE mode.

[0057] In some embodiments, the engineering data format of the vehicle-to-ground data communication system can be compatible with both WLAN and LTE modes. That is, both WLAN and LTE modes can be used with this engineering data format. This allows a single vehicle that has been modified to switch directly to LTE mode and put into operation without having to switch the overall communication standard after all existing vehicles have been modified.

[0058] It is worth noting that after the upgrade of a single vehicle is completed, the first onboard subsystem of that vehicle, namely the equipment related to the WLAN mode, can be removed.

[0059] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a vehicle-to-ground data communication method provided by an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-to-ground data communication method 200 is applied to Figure 1 The vehicle-to-ground data communication system shown includes the following steps:

[0060] S210: The on-board controller communicates with ground signal equipment via the LTE system and ground signal network.

[0061] Alternatively, the vehicle-mounted controller can communicate with ground signal equipment via a WLAN system or a ground signal network.

[0062] In some embodiments, during vehicle operation, the on-board controller can communicate with ground signal equipment via a WLAN system or a ground signal network. In other words, it can freely switch to WLAN mode during vehicle operation periods, thereby effectively ensuring vehicle operation.

[0063] Specifically, data from the vehicle-mounted controller is transmitted to the ground signal equipment via the first communication controller, the vehicle-mounted WLAN device, the first feeder system, the ground WLAN device, and the ground signal network. Conversely, data from the ground signal equipment is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted controller via the same path.

[0064] During vehicle commissioning, the onboard controller can communicate with ground signal equipment via the LTE system and terrestrial signal network. This means that the system can be freely switched to LTE mode during commissioning periods to monitor the LTE system's status, thus improving commissioning efficiency.

[0065] Specifically, data from the vehicle controller is transmitted to the LTE access network via the second communication controller, TAU device, and second feeder system. The LTE access network then sends this data to the LTE core network through the LTE gateway. The LTE core network processes the data and transmits it to the ground signal equipment via the LTE gateway, terrestrial signal network gateway, and terrestrial signal network. Conversely, data from the ground signal equipment is transmitted to the vehicle controller via the same path.

[0066] In the embodiments of this disclosure, independent transmission paths for WLAN mode and LTE mode can be established during the upgrade process, so that the data channels of the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode do not affect each other, thereby achieving mutual compatibility between the existing WLAN mode and the upgraded LTE mode, and the upgrade process does not affect the operation of CBTC.

[0067] It is worth noting that switching between WLAN mode and LTE mode can be achieved by modifying engineering data and controlling the power supply of the WLAN system and LTE system, and there are no restrictions on this.
