[0088] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0089] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a WTB bus cross-rail wireless communication method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0090] In Figure 1 The application scenario includes a host locomotive, a first reconnection device 101 arranged on the host locomotive, a reconnection locomotive, a second reconnection device 102 arranged on the reconnection locomotive, and a server 103. The first reconnection device 101 and the second reconnection device 102 are connected wirelessly; the first reconnection device 101 and the server 103 can be connected by wire or wirelessly; similarly, the second reconnection device 102 and the server 103 can be connected by wire or wirelessly.

[0091] In some optional implementations, the first reconnection device 101 (or the second reconnection device 102) and the server 103 are wirelessly connected through a WIFI AP (Access Point) module.

[0092] First, the first reconnection device 101 can perform initial operation based on at least one target node information in response to receiving the target node information sent by the server; each target node information corresponds to a node device arranged on a reconnection locomotive corresponding to the reconnection instruction.

[0093] Second, the first reconnection device 101 can compare at least one real-time node information sent by the second reconnection device arranged on the reconnection locomotive with the target node information to obtain a comparison result when detecting the real-time node information.

[0094] Third, the first reconnection device 101 can calculate a target communication address of each target node information if the comparison result indicates correctness.

[0095] Finally, the first reconnection device 101 can communicate with the second reconnection device based on the target communication address and a preset communication rule.

[0096] It should be noted that the first reconnection device 101, the second reconnection device 102, and the computing device 103 can be hardware or software. When the device is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster composed of multiple servers or terminal devices, or as a single server or single terminal device. When the device is software, it can be installed in the hardware devices listed above. It can be implemented as, for example, multiple software or software modules for providing distributed services, or as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made herein.

[0097] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of devices in the above description is only illustrative. According to the implementation needs, there can be any number of computing devices.

[0098] Continuing to refer to Figure 2The diagram illustrates flow 200 of some embodiments of a WTB bus cross-rail wireless communication method according to this disclosure. This method can be... Figure 1 The first reconnection device 101 in the WTB bus is configured as the master device to perform the operation. The method for cross-rail wireless communication on the WTB bus includes the following steps:

[0099] Step 201: In response to receiving at least one target node information sent by the server, perform initial operation based on the at least one target node information; wherein, each target node information corresponds to a node device located on the coupled locomotive, and the coupled locomotive corresponds to the coupled command.

[0100] In some embodiments, the implementer of the WTB bus cross-rail wireless communication method (such as...) Figure 1 The first reconnection device 101 shown can be connected to the target device via a wired or wireless connection. Then, in response to receiving at least one target node information sent by the server, it performs an initial operation based on the at least one target node information. Each target node information corresponds to a node device located on the reconnected locomotive, and the reconnected locomotive corresponds to the reconnection command.

[0101] During daily operation, each locomotive consists of one master device and at least one slave device, with the master device controlling all slave devices. For example, a main locomotive can have four node devices, one of which can be designated as the master device. The master device then controls the other three slave devices and communicates via the WTB bus corresponding to the main locomotive. Similarly, a coupled locomotive can have five node devices, one of which can be designated as the master device. The master device then controls the other four slave devices and communicates via the WTB bus corresponding to the coupled locomotive. The purpose of coupled operation is to have the master device on the coupled locomotive control the five node devices on the main locomotive; that is, the master device on the main locomotive controls the three slave devices on the main locomotive and all five node devices on the coupled locomotive (in this case, the coupled locomotive does not have a master device). In this scenario, after successful reconnection, for the master equipment of the main locomotive, the second reconnection device is equivalent to a virtual device (slave device) of the five node devices of the reconnected locomotive; for the reconnected locomotive (second reconnection device), the first reconnection device is equivalent to a virtual device of the master equipment of the main locomotive. That is, at this time, the first reconnection device is in master mode, and the second reconnection device is in slave mode.

[0102] Since the server is used to store relevant data for all devices on each locomotive, when the main locomotive (the first reconnection device) reconnects, it can first send a request to the server to obtain the data of the reconnected locomotives stored on the server in advance.

[0103] The target node information can refer to at least one information corresponding to at least one node device on the locomotive sent by the server. The node device can refer to at least one device based on WTB bus communication arranged on the host locomotive / relay locomotive. The initial operation can refer to a running mode of the WTB bus. Through the initial operation, the master device can determine the number of corresponding slave devices and the address of each slave device. When the initial operation is performed, the master device inquires the slave device through the address, and the slave device replies to confirm the mutual connection of the master device and the slave device.

[0104] In some optional implementations, before the initial operation based on the at least one target node information is performed, the method further includes: when a start signal is detected, sending a configuration request to the server; receiving a configuration message transmitted by the server, the configuration message including at least one of the current time, the master-slave mode, the number of node devices arranged on another locomotive, and the node information corresponding to the node device; periodically sending a heartbeat message to the server based on a preset time length, wherein the heartbeat message includes at least one of the device type, the SN number, the IP address, the WIFI signal strength, and the battery information. It should be noted that in these optional implementations, the second relay device can perform the interaction operation with the server based on the same steps.

[0105] The start signal can refer to a signal of powering on the device, a manually operated start signal, and the like. The configuration request can refer to the relevant information required for the relay. The configuration message can refer to the relevant information required for the relay sent by the server, such as the determination of the relay locomotive and the determination of the relevant node device information of the relay locomotive. As an example, the preset time length can be 1 second, 2 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., which can be set as needed. The heartbeat message can refer to the relevant information for indicating the real-time running state of the node device. The device type, the SN number, the IP address, the WIFI signal strength, and the battery information are all common parameters in the field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] It should be noted that the wireless connection mode can include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, WiFi connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (ultra wideband) connection, and other now known or future developed wireless connection modes.

[0107] In step 202, when at least one real-time node information sent by the second relay device arranged on the relay locomotive is detected, the real-time node information is compared with the target node information to obtain a comparison result.

[0108] In some embodiments, when detecting at least one real-time node information sent by the second marshalling device of the marshalling locomotive, the execution subject can compare the real-time node information with the target node information to obtain a comparison result. Although the host locomotive has obtained the relevant information of the node device of the marshalling locomotive, the node device of the marshalling locomotive can change, and thus the marshalling locomotive (the second marshalling device) needs to send real-time node information to the host locomotive (the first marshalling device) and perform comparison.

[0109] In step 203, if the comparison result is correct, the target communication address of each target node information is calculated.

[0110] In some embodiments, if the comparison result is correct, the execution subject can calculate the target communication address of each target node information. The calculation of the target communication address of each target node information is a routine technique in the art, and thus is not described in detail herein.

[0111] In step 204, communication is performed with the second marshalling device based on the target communication address and a preset communication rule.

[0112] In some embodiments, the execution subject can perform communication with the second marshalling device based on the target communication address and a preset communication rule. The communication rule can refer to the communication rule between the first marshalling device and the second marshalling device.

[0113] In some optional implementations, the communication signals between the first marshalling device and the second marshalling device include emergency backup signals, telephone signals and WTB bus data signals in descending order of priority. That is, the priority of the emergency backup signal is the highest, the priority of the telephone signal is the second, and the priority of the WTB bus data signal is the lowest.

[0114] In some optional implementations, the communication rule includes: when a new target communication signal is detected, it is determined whether there is a running real-time communication signal; if not, the target communication signal is responded to; if yes, the type of the real-time communication signal (emergency backup signal, telephone signal or WTB bus data signal) is identified, and it is determined whether to respond to the target communication signal according to the priority.

[0115] In some optional implementations, the determination of whether to respond to the target communication signal according to the priority includes: if the target communication signal is an emergency backup signal, the running real-time communication signal is paused after the current data frame is sent, and the target communication signal is responded to, wherein the data frame represents the minimum unit of data transmission in the communication process, the size of the emergency backup signal is 1 data frame, and the emergency backup signal is a signal sent unidirectionally from the first marshalling device to the second marshalling device.

[0116] In some optional implementations, the determining whether to respond to the target communication signal according to the priority comprises: if the target communication signal is a telephone signal, determining whether a call is allowed at present; if the call is not allowed, not responding to the target communication signal; if the call is allowed, determining whether the real-time communication signal is a telephone signal; if yes, not responding to the target communication signal; if no, pausing the real-time communication signal after a current data frame is sent, and responding to the target communication signal.

[0117] In some optional implementations, the determining whether to respond to the target communication signal according to the priority comprises: if the target communication signal is a WTB signal, determining a signal type of the real-time communication signal; if the real-time communication signal is a telephone signal, not responding to the target communication signal; if the real-time communication signal is a WTB signal, determining whether the target communication signal is a WTB message signal; if yes, pausing the real-time communication signal after a current data frame is sent, and responding to the target communication signal; if no, not responding to the target communication signal.

[0118] In addition, in another embodiment, if the comparison result indicates incorrectness, the execution subject can re-perform the initial operation according to the real-time node information; calculate a real-time communication address of each of the real-time node information; and perform communication with the re-connection vehicle based on the communication address and the communication rule.

[0119] The incorrectness of the comparison result indicates that the node device on the re-connection vehicle has changed, and thus the node information needs to be updated and the initial operation needs to be re-performed to update and determine the communication address between the master device and the slave device.

[0120] The beneficial effects of one of the above embodiments of the present disclosure at least include: by performing the initial operation based on the at least one target node information; when detecting at least one real-time node information sent by the second re-connection device arranged on the re-connection vehicle, comparing the real-time node information with the target node information to obtain a comparison result; if the comparison result indicates correctness, calculating a target communication address of each of the target node information; and performing communication with the second re-connection device based on the target communication address and a preset communication rule, the communication cable in the double-vehicle re-connection test can be saved, the test environment is built more quickly and conveniently, and the convenience of the vehicle re-connection is greatly improved.

[0121] With reference to Figure 3 , another embodiment of a WTB bus cross-rail wireless communication method according to the present disclosure is shown as a flow 300, which can be performed by the first re-connection device 101 in Figure 1 The WTB bus cross-rail wireless communication method comprises:

[0122] Step 301, when a start signal is detected, a configuration request is sent to a server.

[0123] Step 302, a configuration message transmitted by the server is received, and the configuration message includes at least one of a current time, a master-slave mode, a number of node devices set on another locomotive, and node information corresponding to the node devices.

[0124] Step 303, a heartbeat message is periodically sent to the server based on a preset time length, and the heartbeat message includes at least one of a device type, an SN number, an IP address, a WIFI signal strength, and battery information.

[0125] Step 304, in a case where the first reconnection device is determined to be in a master mode, in response to receiving at least one target node information sent by the server, initial operation is performed based on the at least one target node information, and each target node information corresponds to a node device set on a reconnection locomotive corresponding to the reconnection instruction.

[0126] Step 305, when at least one real-time node information sent by a second reconnection device set on the reconnection locomotive is detected, the real-time node information is compared with the target node information to obtain a comparison result.

[0127] Step 306, if the comparison result indicates correctness, a target communication address of each target node information is calculated.

[0128] Step 307, based on the target communication address and a preset communication rule, communication is performed with the second reconnection device.

[0129] In some embodiments, specific implementations of steps 301-307 and the resulting technical effects can be referred to steps in Figure 2 corresponding embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0130] All the optional technical solutions described above can be combined to form optional embodiments of the present application, which will not be described one by one here.
