Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of driver log technology, and in particular to a locomotive driver electronic driving log generation system. Background Technology

[0002] The locomotive driver's logbook (driver's handbook) serves as a standard and basis for driver performance evaluation and management. Currently, the method used is the manual logbook, commonly known as the driver's handbook, which has been used by drivers since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It primarily records driver and vehicle information, including the stations the vehicle passed through, the times it passed through, the stations it stopped at, the times it stopped, and any unexpected events that occurred during the journey. Its drawbacks include the driver having to fill out the manual logbook while driving, and the accuracy and completeness of the event records depend entirely on the driver's personal qualities and sense of responsibility. This leads to inaccurate time recordings when passing through station centers or special locations, and the event descriptions are often not standardized or accurate. There are also management loopholes such as omissions or retroactive entries, resulting in unreliable and inaccurate records. This introduces uncertainty into driver evaluation and management, increases management difficulty, and poses potential safety hazards in train operation management. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] With the development of the times and the application of electronic technology, high-performance microprocessor technology, wireless network and GPS positioning technology, combined with the characteristics of locomotive driver's driving log, this invention provides a locomotive driver electronic driving log generation system through hardware integration and software development, in order to realize the digitization of the driver's driving log and the automation and semi-automation of driving process recording.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the locomotive driver electronic driving log generation system provided by the present invention includes: a WIFI module, a satellite positioning module, a voice acquisition module, and a central processing unit.

[0035] The WIFI module is used to obtain the locomotive's driving information; the driving information includes: car number, train number, route, station number, and kilometer marker;

[0036] The WIFI module communicates with the GMS or TAX box communication module to obtain LKJ / GYK operational public information released by the onboard TAX box / GMS (Locomotive / Railway Vehicle Safety Information Integrated Monitoring Device). After receiving vehicle operation information from the GMS or TAX box, the WIFI module does not directly store it in the internal memory and hard drive. Instead, it stores it in the internal memory only when necessary, in conjunction with the operation of the electronic journal APP. Vehicle operation information is received periodically (with a period interval of 1 second) and displayed on a touch screen LCD.

[0037] The satellite positioning module is used to acquire the train's GPS coordinates. The GPS / DBS positioning module obtains the locomotive's current position (coordinates) and speed in real time. Combined with a high-precision railway electronic map, the specific geographical location of the vehicle, as well as information such as stations and track sections, can be obtained.

[0038] The railway electronic map is described below:

[0039] (1) Railway network electronic navigation data based on railway basic data

[0040] Railway network electronic navigation data (basic data includes route data (line number, signal kilometer marker, distance from station center, block mode, fixed speed limit, line mileage chain break, signal distance), station information, branch line transfers (branch line number, transfer marker, destination transfer route), route transfer information, gradient information, curve radius information, track, bridge, tunnel information, and other key parameters of various railway lines, which are key data for the train operation control system to control the target speed and target distance of train operation) is high-precision electronic map data that fits high-precision GPS / BDS geographic coordinates based on basic railway data, and combines virtual route data unique to China's railways to develop a high-precision automated electronic map data with Chinese railway characteristics.

[0041] (2) Pattern library data

[0042] The system generates a library of model diagrams for various traffic signals, including exit, entry, warning, and through signals; straight lines, branches, curves, slopes, station entrances and exits, bridges, tunnels, level crossings, landslide-prone areas, and flood control areas. These models are then automatically retrieved by the engine based on the running data points.

[0043] (3) Audio files

[0044] Create various navigation voice file libraries, and combine them with the running data points and locomotive operating status to automatically retrieve appropriate voice prompts and event warnings through the engine.

[0045] (4) Map engine and navigation engine

[0046] From an application layer perspective, a map engine is essentially a function library that provides the driving and management of geographic data, enabling rendering, querying, and other functions. All application-layer software can easily complete its tasks by simply calling the functional interfaces provided by the map engine. The concept of a navigation engine is consistent with that of a map engine. A navigation engine drives and manages topological data, providing route and guidance information. It implements navigation functions such as route planning, voice prompts, and user interface display.

[0047] The voice acquisition module is used to collect the driver's voice information describing the event.

[0048] The central processing unit is connected to the WIFI module and the satellite positioning module respectively, and is used to determine the current driving position based on the GPS coordinate information and the railway electronic map, and to generate an electronic log based on the current driving position, the driving information and the voice information.

[0049] Based on the built-in railway network electronic navigation map, combined with the input route and destination information, and combined with GPS / DBS location information, the system automatically retrieves route data, automatically records information such as the stations passed, time, and speed, and records the driver's confirmation information when passing through the station center, after the driver presses the confirmation window after the "Passing through ** station center, please confirm" pop-up appears. The system also records driver event log entries and voice recordings simultaneously.

[0050] The central processing unit (CPU) is responsible for the system operation, communication, data processing and calculation of the electronic journal app, information interaction with other modules, and output of displayed information. It calculates the current train position using satellite positioning coordinates and railway electronic maps; and, combined with train operation parameters sent from TAX or GMS, determines the conditions for journal generation, automatically records key operational information such as entering and leaving stations, and provides voice prompts for driver confirmation.

[0051] This invention can automatically generate a list of spreadsheet records, text files, and audio files, which can be viewed and played back. It achieves automatic generation of electronic logbooks, ensuring accurate and reliable event records, significantly reducing the workload of drivers and plugging the loopholes in the management of past manual logbooks.

[0052] Furthermore, the aforementioned system also includes:

[0053] The communication module, which is a 5G / 4G / 3G network module, is used to send real-time electronic logs to a ground server.

[0054] When relevant information needs to be recorded, the relevant log information and real-time vehicle operation information will be stored together in the internal memory. The information will also be sent to the remote server system in real time via 5G / 4G / 3G modules for analysis, management, storage and display.

[0055] Furthermore, the system also includes an input module connected to the central processing unit, used for manually confirming station information and manually recording emergency information. The system records in real time the driver's confirmation information when passing through a station center, after the automatic pop-up message "Passing through ** station center, please confirm," is displayed and the driver presses the confirmation window. During operation, if an emergency occurs that needs to be recorded, the input module simultaneously records the event text manually entered by the driver.

[0056] Furthermore, the aforementioned system also includes:

[0057] A speaker, connected to the central processing unit, is used to play prompt sounds.

[0058] Furthermore, the aforementioned system also includes:

[0059] The OTG interface is used for storing, installing, importing, and exporting data for software such as electronic journal apps and high-precision electronic maps of railway lines.

[0060] Furthermore, the aforementioned system also includes:

[0061] The hard disk storage device, connected to the central processing unit, is used to store the railway electronic map and its operating files. The hard disk storage device serves as the storage for overall system data, software records, source files of the electronic journal app, operating files, high-precision railway line electronic maps, and other data.

[0062] The APP software architecture of the locomotive driver electronic driving log generation system provided by this invention is as follows:

[0063] This system is an app application software developed based on the Android system. The software adopts a layered architecture design, which consists of a driver layer, a middleware layer, and an application layer above the hardware. Each layer can focus on its own design based on its own characteristics, and the low degree of dependency between the layers can form a loosely coupled collaborative relationship.

[0064] The application layer implements specific business function requirements.

[0065] The middle layer includes basic functions unrelated to business operations, such as the operating system, file system, general function functions, communication process management, and access management of off-chip hardware units.

[0066] The driver layer completes the driver for CPU on-chip peripherals and the driver for external hardware unit access interfaces.

[0067] The specific working process of the above system is as follows:

[0068] The locomotive driver electronic driving log generation system provided by this invention has a built-in railway network electronic navigation map based on railway basic data and an electronic log app. The electronic log software system interface (e.g., ...) is automatically launched upon power-on. Figure 2 As shown), the driver accesses the system parameter settings interface by entering a password or fingerprint lock (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), after entering the locomotive model, train number, driver's number, co-driver's number, number of cars, total weight, etc. (when the electronic notebook automatically connects to the TAX box / GMS via WIFI network, the above information will be automatically imported), the railway network electronic navigation map will be automatically launched and the navigation interface will be entered (as shown). Figure 4-5 As shown), after entering the destination (endpoint) information, the system automatically enters the running record state (as shown). Figure 6 As shown, the system uses the GPS / DBS positioning module to obtain the locomotive's current position (coordinates) and destination target in real time. Combined with electronic map data, it automatically retrieves data on routes, lines, and current stations. After the vehicle starts running, it uses the GPS / DBS positioning module to obtain the locomotive's current position (coordinates) and speed information in real time. The system displays the locomotive's real-time position and the next station on the electronic map. When passing the center of a station, a "Passing through ** station, please confirm" window automatically pops up (e.g., ...). Figure 7 As shown in the image), a voice prompt is also provided. After the driver clicks the "Please confirm" window, a voice prompt will say "Recorded" (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (As shown).

[0069] like Figure 9 As shown, if an unexpected event needs to be recorded during operation, click the "Event Log" window on the screen, select "Text Writing / Voice Recording," and click "Text Writing" to bring up the virtual keyboard for text input. Figure 10 As shown, clicking "Voice Recording" automatically starts the recording function and a microphone display window pops up. After finishing, clicking the one-click "Back" button ends the event recording function.

[0070] After the locomotive reaches its destination (end point), the interface displays a "This operation is over" window. After the driver clicks the window to confirm, an electronic spreadsheet record text file and a list file of audio files are automatically generated and stored according to the preset path and directory. In the log query interface, the driver can click on the log to view the electronic text log, the event record, and the playback of the time-recorded audio file by clicking on the directory of date, time, car number, and train number. Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating the electronic recording of a driving log.
