[0038] Specifically, the system data server can realize uploading of train operation information, intersection signal lamp state information, turnout information and protection information and transmission of operation display platform instructions, the train operation control system module (including the train operation command system, the intersection control system, the turnout controller and the active protection unit) and the turnout signal system module feed back tram vehicle information, train diagram and turnout road lamp information under specific right of way and specific road condition state to the system data server according to the instruction transmitted by the system data server, the system data server transmits the feedback information to the operation display platform for display.

[0041] Specifically, the tram turnout simulation system of the present application can obtain the BIM lightweight model of the tram vehicle, the track and the track equipment, the turnout signal lamp and the road vehicle from the BIM subsystem, map one-to-one with the vehicle position information, the road lamp information and the turnout display information obtained from the system data server, display the simulation scene of the tram passing through the turnout under different right of way modes and different scenes, and issue the operation instruction according to the simulation optimization, adjust the tram and the turnout signal lamp, and improve the passing efficiency of the tram under different right of way modes and different turnout scenes. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the operation display platform provides three right-of-way strategies: absolute priority, complete priority and partial priority. The tram passing through the turnout is divided into three ways: straight passing, left turning passing and right turning passing. The train position is divided into left side of the road and right side of the road. In the case of absolute priority right-of-way, the system data server simulates the current tram passing through the turnout time according to the train position and the train diagram. The system data server analyzes the data according to the existing control scheme of the turnout signal system and provides the optimal insertion tram phase time. In the case of win-win, the tram phase time is inserted first. After the tram safely passes through the turnout, the tram phase returns to the original control scheme. If there is still subsequent vehicle traffic demand after the tram phase, the green light time of the phase is extended to ensure that the vehicle completely passes through the intersection, which is not limited by the maximum green light time of the tram phase. In the case of complete priority right-of-way, the system data server simulates the current tram passing through the turnout time according to the train position and the train diagram, and judges the maximum green light time limit of the tram according to the horizontal traffic delay and queue length. If it still cannot pass through the turnout within the maximum green light time, it waits for the next tram phase. In the case of partial priority right-of-way, the system detects the tram passing demand. The system judges the time when the tram arrives at the brake decision point. If the signal is not green at the decision point, the tram will be delayed by extending the green light and shortening the red light. This control mode is limited by the phase sequence. The green light extension time and the red light shortening time are also limited by the maximum green light time of the same direction and the minimum green light time of the horizontal direction.

[0042] The tram turnout simulation system of the present application has a three-dimensional display function: the BIM subsystem is specifically configured to build a basic BIM model library of the tram turnout simulation system, including tram vehicle, turnout, turnout signal light and road crossing social vehicle models; the basic BIM model is subjected to lightweight processing and scene allocation to build a three-dimensional scene display of the tram passing through the turnout under different right-of-way conditions.

[0043] Among them, the basic BIM model is modeled by three-dimensional modeling software, and the tram vehicle model, on-board equipment model, transponder and other models are created by manufacturer drawings; the line turnout model is created according to the line drawing; the line intersection peripheral environment model and signal light model are created according to the actual situation. According to the actual situation of each line, the models are integrated and lightened to form different line models under different right-of-way conditions, which are selected and displayed on the operation display platform.

[0044] The tramway turnout simulation system of the present application can process various data of the tram passing through the turnout under various scenes selected by the operation platform under various road rights according to the information and operations obtained from the train operation control system module (including the traffic control system, the intersection control system, the turnout controller and the active protection unit) and the turnout signal system module, judge whether to adjust the tram running speed, the stopping time and the red light time of the turnout signal, generate the optimal scheme under different adjustment modes, and select and display the optimal adjustment scheme under the tram passing through the turnout under different adjustment modes through the operation display platform.

[0045] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
