[0022] The embodiment of the present invention provides a locomotive control method based on multi-source information perception. Figure 1 As shown, the locomotive control method based on multi-source information perception includes:

[0023] Step S11: Acquire line information, locomotive status information, and multi-source perception information in real time, wherein the multi-source perception information at least includes weather conditions, obstacle information, and intruding foreign object information, and the weather conditions include one of sunny, rainy, or snowy days.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the multi-source perception information includes at least weather conditions, which include one of sunny, rainy or snowy days. The multi-source perception information may also include locomotive cargo transportation information. Figure 2As shown, the locomotive control system includes a locomotive control device, a locomotive network control system (CCU), a brake control system (BCU), a locomotive operation monitoring device (LKJ), a display, an on-board obstacle sensing device, an on-board wireless communication device, a ground weather sensing device, and a ground foreign object intrusion sensing device. The locomotive control method based on multi-source information perception in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the locomotive control device. In step S11, the locomotive control device collects the locomotive status feedback from the microcomputer display unit, BCU and CCU, obtains line information such as slopes, curves, and signals from the LKJ, and obtains real-time weather conditions in each station interval from the ground weather sensing device. The obstacle information within the field of view in front of the locomotive is obtained by the obstacle sensing device, and the ground foreign object intrusion sensing device obtains the intrusion foreign object information of the ground foreign object intruding the track outside the field of view in front of the locomotive and within the field of view.

[0025] Step S12: obtaining a first control parameter for controlling the locomotive when the weather condition is sunny according to the line information, the locomotive state information, the obstacle information, and the intruding foreign object information.

[0026] In this embodiment of the present invention, in a normal scenario without obstacle information—that is, when the locomotive control device detects no abnormal information from the data provided by the onboard obstacle sensing device and foreign object intrusion sensing device—only the impact of weather conditions on locomotive control is considered, and different control strategies are adopted for different external sensing environments. On the one hand, the adhesion characteristics of the locomotive and vehicle wheel-rail relationship vary in different weather conditions; on the other hand, if the vehicle is an open wagon and is carrying hygroscopic cargo such as coal, the weather can affect the weight of the cargo. Both of these factors directly affect train operation. To achieve optimal train operation, this embodiment of the present invention adopts different operation strategies for different weather conditions in key impact scenarios.

[0027] Optionally, in step S12, if the obstacle information and the intruding foreign object information are obtained, the air braking force with different decompression amounts to be applied is determined based on the obstacle type and obstacle distance as the first control parameter. If the obstacle information and the intruding foreign object information are not obtained, the first control parameter for controlling the locomotive when the weather condition is sunny is obtained based on the line information and the locomotive status information in combination with the locomotive operation scenario. The first control parameter includes: at least one of traction force / electric braking force, speed, distance, and air braking force. The locomotive operation scenario includes one of an uphill start scenario, a temporary speed limit scenario, a station parking scenario, and an air brake speed regulation scenario.

[0028] If the locomotive operation scenario is an uphill start scenario, traction calculation is performed based on the line information and the locomotive status information, and the locomotive is controlled to gradually increase the first traction force to the starting resistance, relieve the train control, and then gradually increase the first traction force until the locomotive starts slowly. Specifically, normal traction calculation can be performed based on information such as line conditions, train load, and locomotive characteristics, and the locomotive is controlled to gradually increase the first traction force, then single slow brake, continue to increase the first traction force to the starting resistance (calculated according to the specific slope and weight), then relieve the train control, and then gradually increase the first traction force until the train starts slowly.

[0029] If the locomotive operation scenario involves passing through a temporary speed limit, a train operation curve for passing through the temporary speed limit section is planned based on the line information and the locomotive status information. The locomotive speed is controlled to be below the temporary speed limit by a first preset speed difference at a first preset distance before the temporary speed limit point. Specifically, a traction calculation can be performed based on parameters such as the preceding temporary speed limit, track conditions, locomotive gross weight, and current locomotive speed. The train operation curve for passing through the temporary speed limit section is automatically planned. The train speed is controlled to be below the temporary speed limit by a first preset speed difference at a first preset distance before the temporary speed limit drop point. The first preset distance is preferably 800 meters, and the first preset speed difference is preferably 5 km / h.

[0030] If the locomotive operation scenario is a station stop, a traction calculation is performed based on the line information and the locomotive status information, and the locomotive is controlled to reach different first target speeds at different first distances from the closed signal. Specifically, a normal traction calculation can be performed, and a staged speed control strategy can be adopted, that is, the locomotive is controlled to different first target speeds at different first distances from the closed signal to achieve precise train stopping.

[0031] If the locomotive is operating in an air brake speed control scenario, a long downhill section is identified based on the line information, and a first target decompression speed and a first target decompression position for the air brake speed control are planned based on the line information and the locomotive status information. Specifically, based on the slope data provided by the LKJ, a continuous long downhill section ahead is identified, and the first target decompression speed and a first target decompression position for the air brake speed control are planned based on the line slope and line speed limit requirements.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S12, when applying air braking forces of different decompression amounts according to the obstacle type and obstacle distance, normal traction calculations can be performed based on the obstacle distance, train load, line conditions, etc. For heavily loaded locomotives, applying emergency braking can easily cause the locomotive to roll over and derail, resulting in significant personal injury and property damage. Emergency braking should not be applied unless absolutely necessary, so different levels of protection are required based on the obstacle type and obstacle distance.

[0033] If the obstacle type is determined to be a person or a large obstacle based on the obstacle information, and application of the maximum normal braking force is insufficient to stop the vehicle before the obstacle, emergency braking is applied, and the electric brake force is fully applied. If the obstacle type is determined to be an animal or a small obstacle based on the obstacle information, an air braking force no greater than the maximum normal braking force is applied, and the electric brake force is fully applied. That is, if the obstacle type is a person or a large landslide or falling rock, and if application of the maximum normal braking force of 170kPa is insufficient to stop the vehicle before the obstacle, emergency braking is applied, and the air braking force is simultaneously fully applied. If the obstacle type is an animal or other small obstacle, only a maximum normal braking force of 170kPa is applied, and the air braking force is simultaneously applied and the electric brake force is fully applied.

[0034] If a foreign object intrusion is detected based on the intrusion information and the weather is sunny, traction calculations are performed based on the obstacle distance, track information, and locomotive status information, and air braking forces of varying decompression levels are applied, while electric braking is fully applied. Specifically, normal traction calculations can be performed based on the distance of the intruder, locomotive load, and track conditions, and air braking forces of varying decompression levels, such as 50kPa, 70kPa, 100kPa, or 170kPa, as well as emergency braking, can be applied for safety protection. Air braking force is applied while electric braking forces are fully applied.

[0035] Step S13: Correct and adjust the first control parameter according to the weather condition that is not a sunny day to obtain a second control parameter.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the obstacle information and the intruding foreign object information are acquired, sanding may be applied simultaneously with the application of the air braking force. Since rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, making it more likely for skidding to occur during braking, sanding may be added to the sunny weather protection strategy. Since snow reduces wheel-rail adhesion, making it more likely for skidding to occur during braking, sanding may be added to the sunny weather protection strategy. If foreign object intrusion is determined based on the intruding foreign object information in the multi-source perception information, the pressure reduction is increased based on the first control parameter and sanding may be added based on the weather conditions other than sunny weather. During rainy weather, since rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, skidding may occur during braking, reducing braking force. Therefore, the pressure reduction may be appropriately increased compared to that during sunny weather, and sanding may be added as a safety precaution. During snowy weather, since snow reduces wheel-rail adhesion, skidding may occur during braking, reducing braking force. Therefore, the pressure reduction may be appropriately increased compared to that during sunny weather, and sanding may be added as a safety precaution.

[0037] If the obstacle information and the intruding foreign object information are not obtained, the change rate or control value of the first control parameter is adjusted according to the weather condition of rainy or snowy days and the corresponding duration to obtain the second control parameter. The following describes different application scenarios.

[0038] If the locomotive operation scenario is an uphill start, the rate of increase of the first traction force is adjusted based on the duration of rain or snow, and the locomotive is controlled to spread sand. Optionally, on rainy days, if the duration does not exceed a first threshold, the rate of increase is multiplied by a first empirical coefficient; if the duration exceeds the first threshold, the rate of increase is multiplied by a second empirical coefficient, where the first empirical coefficient is less than the second empirical coefficient. On snowy days, if the duration does not exceed a second threshold, the rate of increase is multiplied by a third empirical coefficient; if the duration exceeds the second threshold, the rate of increase is multiplied by a fourth empirical coefficient, where the third empirical coefficient is less than the fourth empirical coefficient. Because rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, especially at the beginning of rain, the effect is greater. Rapid application of traction can easily affect idling. This embodiment of the present invention timely adjusts the rate of increase of traction force and the amount of sand spread by the locomotive based on the duration of rain. If the duration of rain is less than the first threshold, the rate of increase of the first traction force on sunny days is multiplied by a first empirical coefficient b1, which is less than 1, to reduce the rate of increase of the first traction force, while the locomotive is controlled to spread sand. If the duration of continuous rain is higher than the first threshold, the rising slope of the first traction force on sunny days is multiplied by a second empirical coefficient b2 that is less than 1 to reduce the rising slope of the overall traction force. Since snow will reduce wheel-rail adhesion, especially when it just snows, it has a greater impact on wheel-rail adhesion. If the traction is applied quickly, it is easy to affect idling. The embodiment of the present invention timely adjusts the rising slope of the first traction force and the amount of sand spread by the locomotive according to the length of continuous snowing. If the duration of continuous snowing is lower than the second threshold, the rising slope of the first traction force on sunny days is multiplied by a third empirical coefficient c1 that is less than 1 to reduce the rising slope of the first traction force, and at the same time, the locomotive is controlled to spread sand. If the duration of continuous snowing is higher than the second time threshold, the rising slope of the first traction force on sunny days is multiplied by a fourth empirical coefficient c2 that is less than 1 to reduce the rising slope of the first traction force, and at the same time, the locomotive is controlled to spread sand. The first slope coefficient b1, the second slope coefficient b2, the third slope coefficient c1 and the fourth slope coefficient c2 satisfy the relationship c1 <b1<c2<b2<1。

[0039] If the locomotive is operating in an uphill start scenario, the weather is rainy, and the locomotive is carrying water-absorbing cargo, the starting resistance is automatically and dynamically corrected based on the amount and duration of the rain. The starting traction force is then recalculated based on this correction to prevent the locomotive from slipping due to insufficient starting traction force. For example, if the locomotive is carrying water-absorbing cargo such as coal, the starting resistance is increased by an empirical resistance value a1 based on the traction force calculation performed on sunny days. This empirical resistance value a1 is then adjusted online based on the amount and duration of the rain to prevent the locomotive from slipping due to insufficient traction force when the train is relieved.

[0040] If the locomotive operation scenario involves passing through a temporary speed limit, a first empirical distance value and a second empirical distance value are added to the first preset distance based on the weather conditions of rainy or snowy days, respectively, where the first empirical distance value is smaller than the second empirical distance value. Because rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, skidding is more likely to occur during braking, reducing braking force. Therefore, when controlling a locomotive through a temporary speed limit section, the parameters of the corresponding rule need to be adjusted by adding a first empirical distance value d1 to the first preset distance corresponding to sunny days. Because snow reduces wheel-rail adhesion, skidding is more likely to occur during braking, reducing braking force. Therefore, when controlling a locomotive through a temporary speed limit section, the parameters of the corresponding rule need to be adjusted by adding a second empirical distance value e1 to the first preset distance corresponding to sunny days. It should be noted that, generally, the second empirical distance value e1 is greater than the first empirical distance value d1.

[0041] If the locomotive operation scenario is a station parking scenario, a third empirical distance value and a fourth empirical distance value are added to the first distance corresponding to the first target speed based on the weather conditions of rainy or snowy days, respectively, wherein the third empirical distance value is less than the fourth empirical distance value. Because rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, slippage is likely to occur during braking, and the braking force is reduced, the first distance corresponding to each stage of stage speed control is increased by a third empirical distance value f1 on the basis of that on sunny days. Because snow reduces wheel-rail adhesion, slippage is likely to occur during braking, and the braking force is reduced, the first distance corresponding to each stage of stage speed control is increased by a fourth empirical distance value g1 on the basis of that on sunny days. It should be noted that, generally, the fourth empirical distance value g1 is greater than the third empirical distance value f1.

[0042] If the locomotive operation scenario is an air brake speed regulation scenario, the first target decompression speed is subtracted from the first empirical speed value and the second empirical speed value, respectively, based on the weather conditions of rainy or snowy days, or the first target decompression position is increased by the fifth empirical distance value and the sixth empirical distance value, respectively. Because rain reduces wheel-rail adhesion, slippage is likely to occur during braking, reducing the braking force. The planned first target decompression position for air brake speed regulation is increased by the fifth empirical distance value h1 on the basis of sunny days, or the first target decompression speed is reduced by the first empirical speed value h2, so as to control the train to relieve the pressure at the same appropriate location. Because snow reduces wheel-rail adhesion, slippage is likely to occur during braking, reducing the braking force. The planned first target decompression position for air brake speed regulation is increased by the sixth empirical distance value j1 on the basis of sunny days, or the first target decompression speed is reduced by the second empirical speed value j2, so as to control the train to relieve the pressure at the same appropriate location.

[0043] Step S14: Automatically control the operation of the locomotive according to the second control parameter.

[0044] The locomotive is automatically controlled based on the second control parameter obtained by modifying and adjusting the first control parameter in step S13. The second control parameter may be a modification or adjustment of one or more of the first control parameters: traction force / electric braking force, speed, distance, and air braking force. The second control parameter may also be a modification or adjustment of the first control parameter to add a sand spreading operation.

[0045] The locomotive control method based on multi-source information perception in the embodiments of the present invention implements multi-source information perception for locomotive automatic control, including weather information, onboard obstacle information, and ground foreign object intrusion information. Based on this multi-source perception information, optimal automatic control and safety protection are implemented in corresponding scenarios. In scenarios such as uphill starting, passing through a temporary speed limit section, air brake speed regulation, and air brake speed regulation, the optimal operating strategy for each scenario is adopted for each weather condition. When there is an obstacle ahead of the locomotive, different safety protection strategies are promptly adopted based on the obstacle type, distance, and weather conditions. When there is an intrusion ahead of the locomotive, different safety protection strategies are promptly adopted based on the weather conditions. The embodiments of the present invention adopt optimal control strategies for different normal operating scenarios, reduce locomotive idling and coasting, ensure smooth locomotive operation, reduce wear on locomotive equipment, and mitigate the risk of locomotive overspeeding and overshooting in special weather conditions, thereby ensuring locomotive operation safety. Furthermore, the optimal safety protection strategy is adopted for different abnormal operating scenarios, minimizing safety risks in special weather conditions and abnormal situations.

[0046] The embodiment of the present invention obtains line information, locomotive status information and multi-source perception information in real time, wherein the multi-source perception information includes at least weather conditions, obstacle information, and intruding foreign object information, and the weather condition includes one of sunny days, rainy days or snowy days; according to the line information, and the locomotive status information, the obstacle information, and the intruding foreign object information, a first control parameter for controlling the locomotive when the weather condition is sunny is obtained; according to the weather condition that is not sunny, the first control parameter is corrected and adjusted to obtain a second control parameter; according to the second control parameter, the operation of the locomotive is automatically controlled, multi-source information perception can be performed, and according to the multi-source perception information, the optimal automatic control and safety protection strategy in different scenarios are realized, thereby ensuring the safety of the locomotive operation.

[0047] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a locomotive control device based on multi-source information perception.
