Passenger transportation method, device, system, readable medium and electronic equipment

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of rail transit, and in particular, to a passenger conveying method, device, system, readable medium and electronic equipment. The passenger conveying method adopts a virtual marshalling technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication to marshal a train and a platform car into a large marshalling train after the train and the platform car are in a transverse synchronization state, so that the train and the platform car always keep transverse synchronization running, a transmission channel for the train and the platform car is established, and dynamic passenger boarding and alighting without stopping is realized. Therefore, when one train (platform car or train) decelerates or makes emergency braking, the other train (train or platform car) also decelerates or makes emergency braking, so that a large jerk feeling is not caused and passengers are not accidentally fallen off when changing trains, and a large drag is not caused on the transmission channel, so that a large wear of the transmission channel is not caused and the transmission channel is not caused to fall off.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of rail transit technology, and more specifically, to a passenger transport method, apparatus, system, readable medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Current technology takes into account the series of processes a train needs to go through when entering a station, including deceleration, stopping, stabilizing, door opening, passenger boarding and alighting, door closing, and train restarting. This process is not only time-consuming but also degrades the train's power performance, and the repeated stops and starts also consume energy. Therefore, a non-stop, full-speed operation method has been implemented, where passenger platform cars maintain the same speed as the high-speed train and are coupled to the high-speed train using lateral couplers or interlocking devices, enabling dynamic passenger boarding and alighting without stopping.

[0003] However, this method has safety risks. If one of the trains malfunctions during a dynamic "train change" and immediately decelerates and brakes, even with couplers or interlocking devices in place, it may still cause a significant jerking sensation and could even cause passengers to fall off the train. Furthermore, repeated dragging at high speeds can cause significant wear and tear on the couplers or interlocking devices, or even cause them to detach. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a passenger transport method, apparatus, system, readable medium, and electronic device to solve the problems of using only lateral couplers or interlocking devices to attach to high-speed trains to achieve non-stop dynamic passenger boarding and alighting, the large jerking sensation caused by the deceleration or emergency braking of one of the trains, which may even lead to passengers accidentally falling off the train, and the large wear or even detachment of the couplers or interlocking devices caused by repeated dragging at high speeds.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a passenger transport method applied to a controller of a passenger transport system, the passenger transport system further comprising a transmission channel electrically connected to the controller, the transmission channel being used for lateral communication between a train and a platform car, the method comprising:

[0006] Determine whether the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state;

[0007] When it is determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, virtual formation technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication is used to form the train and the platform car into a large formation train so that the train and the platform car can maintain laterally synchronized operation.

[0008] The transmission channel is controlled to laterally connect the train and the platform car to enable passenger transfer between the train and the platform car.

[0009] Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a first seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, the first seat transport device being disposed on the train, and the method further includes: controlling the first seat transport device to transport a first target seat located on the train to the platform car, wherein the first target seat is the seat occupied by a passenger whose destination station information in the train matches the platform information represented by the platform car;

[0010] And / or,

[0011] The passenger transport system further includes a second seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, the second seat transport device being disposed on the platform car, and the method further includes: controlling the second seat transport device to transport a second target seat located on the platform car to the train, wherein the second target seat is the seat occupied by a passenger whose train number information in the platform car matches the train number information.

[0013] Obtain the train number information and passenger destination station information;

[0014] Obtain the platform information of the platform car and the train number information of the passengers;

[0015] When the destination station information of a passenger in the train matches the platform information represented by the platform car, or when the train number information of a passenger in the platform car matches the train number information of the train, a virtual formation command is sent to the train and the platform car to control the train and the platform car to perform car-to-car communication.

[0016] Optionally, determining whether the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state includes:

[0017] When the platform car and the train have the same speed, the lateral distance between the platform car and the train is equal within a preset time period and meets a preset distance range, and the preset door positions of the platform car and the train are matched, it is determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state.

[0018] Otherwise, it is determined that the train and the platform car are not in a laterally synchronized state.

[0019] Optionally, after sending virtual formation instructions to the train and platform car, the method further includes:

[0020] The platform car is controlled to obtain the distance between the train and the platform car;

[0021] When the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, the train's driving information is adjusted according to the train's driving information until the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. The driving information includes the current speed, driving direction, and current position.

[0022] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0023] After the first seat conveying device conveys the first target seat to the platform car, the destination station information of the passengers of the first target seat received in the platform car is verified according to the destination station information of the train passengers before the conveyance, and the transmission channel is closed after the verification is successful.

[0024] And / or, after the second seat conveying device conveys the second target seat to the train, the train number information of the passenger of the second target seat received in the train is verified according to the train number information of the passengers of the platform car before the conveyance, and the transmission channel is closed after the verification is successful.

[0025] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0026] Obtain passenger travel information, which includes departure station information, destination station information, and train number information;

[0027] The system outputs the identification information of the platform car where the passenger is seated based on the departure station information and train number information, and outputs the seat area number of the platform car where the passenger is seated based on the destination station information.

[0028] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0029] Obtain passenger travel information, which includes departure station information and train number information;

[0030] Based on the departure station information and train number information, output the identification information of the platform car where the passenger is seated.

[0031] Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a third seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, the third seat transport device being disposed on the platform, and the method further includes:

[0032] The control system transports the third target seat located on the platform to the platform car, wherein the third target seat is the seat occupied by the passenger whose train number information on the platform matches the train number information on the platform car.

[0033] This disclosure also provides a passenger transport device, applied to a controller in a passenger transport system, the passenger transport system further including a transmission channel electrically connected to the controller, the transmission channel being used for lateral communication between a train and a platform car, the device comprising:

[0034] The synchronization judgment module is used to determine whether the train and the platform car are in a lateral synchronization state;

[0035] The virtual train formation module is used to form a large train by using vehicle-to-vehicle communication-based virtual train formation technology when the train and platform car are determined to be in a laterally synchronized state, so as to keep the train and platform car running in laterally synchronized mode.

[0036] The connectivity control module is used to control the transmission channel to laterally connect the train and the platform car, so as to realize the transmission of passengers between the train and the platform car.

[0037] This disclosure also provides a passenger transport system, including: a controller and a transmission channel electrically connected to the controller, the transmission channel being used for lateral communication between a train and a platform car, and the controller being used to implement the above-described method.

[0038] This disclosure also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, characterized in that the program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described method.

[0039] This disclosure also provides an electronic device, including:

[0040] A memory on which computer programs are stored;

[0041] A processor for executing the computer program in the memory to implement the steps of the above method.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, after the train and platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, virtual train formation technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication is used to group the train and platform car into a large train formation. The train and platform car then synchronize their operating status in real time, ensuring they always maintain laterally synchronized operation. Based on this, a transmission channel is established to connect the train and platform car laterally, enabling non-stop dynamic passenger boarding and alighting. Therefore, using the technical solution provided in this disclosure, when one train (platform car or train) decelerates or brakes suddenly, the other train (train or platform car) will also decelerate or brake suddenly, preventing significant jerking and passenger falls during transfers; it also avoids significant dragging on the transmission channel, preventing wear or even detachment. Furthermore, the technical solution provided in this disclosure uses a transmission channel to connect the train and platform car, allowing passengers to board and alight as if on a single train. The existing technology involves locking the train and platform car together via hooks or interlocking devices after the train (platform car) doors are aligned, allowing passengers to directly step from the train (platform car) doors into the platform car (train) doors. Therefore, compared to the existing technology, boarding and alighting via a transmission channel is safer and avoids discomfort caused by fear of heights or other anxieties when transferring between two high-speed trains.

[0043] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0053] Figure 9 This is a block diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0054] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0055] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0056] This disclosure provides a passenger transport method applied to a controller of a passenger transport system. The passenger transport system further includes a transmission channel electrically connected to the controller. The transmission channel is used for lateral communication between a train and a platform car. Figure 1 A flowchart of the passenger transport method is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S10: Determine whether the train and the platform car are in a lateral synchronization state.

[0058] Step S30: After determining that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, the train and the platform car are grouped into a large train using virtual grouping technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication, so that the train and the platform car can maintain laterally synchronized operation.

[0059] Virtual train formation technology is implemented, which utilizes wireless communication between cars to achieve virtual coupling between them. After the train and platform cars are formed into a large train formation, the train and platform cars will synchronize their operating status in real time, so that the train and platform cars maintain lateral synchronization, that is, lock the lateral synchronization state of the train and platform cars.

[0060] Step S50: Control the transmission channel to laterally connect the train and the platform car to realize the transmission of passengers between the train and the platform car.

[0061] In practice, when the passenger transport system starts operating, the doors of the train and the platform car can be controlled to open simultaneously. As the doors open, the transmission channel on the side of the train or platform car door facing the carriage automatically unfolds from the retracted state, laterally connecting the train and the platform car to realize the transfer of passengers between the train and the platform car.

[0062] Through the above technical solution, after the train and platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, virtual train formation technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication is used to group the train and platform car into a large train formation. The train and platform car then synchronize their operating status in real time, ensuring they always maintain laterally synchronized operation. Based on this, a transmission channel is established to connect the train and platform car laterally, enabling non-stop dynamic passenger boarding and alighting. Therefore, using the technical solution provided in this disclosure, when one train (platform car or train) decelerates or brakes suddenly, the other train (train or platform car) will also decelerate or brake suddenly, preventing significant jerking and passenger falls during transfers; it also avoids significant dragging on the transmission channel, preventing wear or even detachment. Furthermore, the technical solution provided in this disclosure uses a transmission channel to connect the train and platform car, allowing passengers to board and alight as if on a single train. The existing technology involves locking the train and platform car together via hooks or interlocking devices after the train (platform car) doors are aligned, allowing passengers to directly step from the train (platform car) doors into the platform car (train) doors. Therefore, compared to the existing technology, boarding and alighting via a transmission channel is safer and avoids discomfort caused by fear of heights or other anxieties when transferring between two high-speed trains.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 2 Before step S10, the method further includes:

[0064] Step S1: Obtain the train number information and the passenger's destination station information.

[0065] The train number information is the unique identifier of the train, similar to or the same as existing train number information representation methods (such as K192, K56). Obtaining the destination station information of passengers on the train means obtaining the destination station information of all passengers on this train whose train number information points to this train.

[0066] Step S3: Obtain the platform information of the platform car and the passenger's train number information.

[0067] It is obvious that platform cars departing from the same platform all point to the same platform, and the platform information of the platform car indicates the platform to which the platform car is pointing. When multiple platform cars operate at a platform, each platform car will also have identification information (this identification information can not only point to the platform, but also to the specific platform car) to distinguish them from each other. Obtaining the train number information of the passengers of the platform car means obtaining the train number information of all passengers on that platform car.

[0068] Step S5: When the destination station information of a passenger in the train matches the platform information represented by the platform car, or when the train number information of a passenger in the platform car matches the train number information of the train, a virtual formation command is sent to the train and the platform car to control the train and the platform car to perform car-to-car communication.

[0069] Through the above technical solution, when the destination of the passengers on the train is matched with the platform to which the platform car points, that is, when the passengers on the train need to get off at the station, or when the train number information of the passengers on the platform car is matched with the train number, that is, when the passengers on the platform car need to board the train, the train and the platform car are controlled to conduct car-to-car communication, so as to lay the foundation for the virtual formation of subsequent trains and platform cars.

[0070] Optionally, step S10 includes:

[0071] When the platform car and the train have the same speed, the lateral distance between the platform car and the train is equal within a preset time period and meets a preset distance range, and the preset door positions of the platform car and the train match, it is determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state.

[0072] The preset time period and preset distance range can be set according to actual conditions. The lateral spacing between the platform car and the train is equal during the preset time period and meets the preset distance range, that is, the lateral spacing between the platform car and the train is stable and within a certain distance range. The preset doors are specified according to user definition. For example, it can be specified that the A door of the train corresponds to the B door of the platform car, the C door of the train corresponds to the D door of the platform car, etc. It is only necessary to ensure that when the platform car and the train are connected, the doors of the train (such as A and C) at one end of the transmission channel need to match the doors of the platform car (such as B and D) at the other end of the transmission channel to ensure that the transmission channel can laterally connect the train and the platform car.

[0073] Otherwise, it is determined that the train and the platform car are not in a laterally synchronized state.

[0074] Through the above technical solution, only when the speeds of the platform car and the train are equal, the lateral spacing between the platform car and the train is equal within a preset time period and meets a preset distance range, and the preset door positions of the platform car and the train match, is it determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. Only then are the train and the platform car grouped into a large train formation to keep the train and the platform car running in lateral synchronization. Only then is the transmission channel controlled to laterally connect the train and the platform car, realizing the transmission of passengers between the train and the platform car and ensuring the safe boarding and alighting of passengers.

[0075] In actual implementation, when it is determined that the train and the platform car are not in a lateral synchronization state, the train operation information of the platform car can be adjusted based on the train operation information according to the train operation information, until the train and the platform car meet the preset synchronization state. The operation information includes the current speed, direction of travel and current position.

[0076] Optionally, after step S5, the method further includes:

[0077] The platform car is controlled to obtain the distance between the train and the platform car.

[0078] Based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the platform car can obtain the train's location information and thus calculate the distance between the train and the platform car.

[0079] When the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, the train's driving information is adjusted according to the train's driving information until the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. The driving information includes the current speed, driving direction, and current position.

[0080] The calculation of the preset distance includes the train's current speed, the planned arrival time at the station, the time required for the platform car to accelerate to the train's speed, possible real-time speed adjustments of the train, and communication delay margin. The platform car calculates the preset distance based on the vehicle on-board controller (VOBC). When the distance between the train and the platform car is less than or equal to the preset distance (due to sampling time or communication delay, the distance between the train and the platform car may be less than the preset distance), the platform car's current speed, direction of travel, and current position are adjusted according to the train's current speed, direction of travel, and current position until the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state.

[0081] Through the above technical solution, when the destination of a passenger on the train matches the platform indicated by the platform car (i.e., when a passenger on the train needs to disembark at their destination), or when the train number information of a passenger on the platform car matches the train number (i.e., when a passenger on the platform car needs to board), the system controls the train and platform car to establish car-to-car communication. After car-to-car communication, the platform car can obtain the train's position information and thus the distance between the train and the platform car. If the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, the platform car's driving information is adjusted according to the train's driving information until the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. Subsequently, the train and the platform car are grouped into a large trainset, maintaining lateral synchronization between them. The transmission channel is then controlled to laterally connect the train and the platform car, enabling passenger transfer between them and ensuring safe passenger boarding and alighting.

[0082] Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a first seat transport device disposed on the train. The first seat transport device is disposed on the train, and after step S50, as... Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes step S60. Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a second seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, the second seat transport device being disposed on the platform car, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes step S70. Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a first seat transport device and a second seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, wherein the first seat transport device is disposed on the train, and the second seat transport device is disposed on the platform car, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the method further includes steps S60 and S70.

[0083] Step S60: Control the first seat conveying device to convey the first target seat located on the train to the platform car.

[0084] The first target seat is the seat occupied by a passenger whose destination station information matches the platform information indicated by the platform car. In other words, the first target seat is the seat occupied by a passenger arriving at their destination and transferring from the train to the platform car. Through this technical solution, by using a first seat conveying device to transport the first target seat, passengers on the train are transported to the platform car, eliminating the need for passengers to walk to the platform car themselves. This avoids passengers missing their stop due to falling asleep or walking slowly, and also prevents congestion caused by disorderly transfers among multiple passengers.

[0085] Step S70: Control the second seat conveying device to convey the second target seat located on the platform car to the train.

[0086] The second target seat is the seat occupied by the passenger whose train number information on the platform car matches the train number information. In other words, the second target seat is the seat occupied by a passenger preparing to board the train and transferring from the platform car to the train. Through this technical solution, by using a second seat conveying device to transport the second target seat, passengers on the platform are transported to the train without having to walk to the transfer point themselves. This avoids passengers missing their boarding time due to falling asleep or walking slowly, and also prevents congestion caused by disorderly transfers among multiple passengers.

[0087] It should be noted that the method further includes steps S60 and / or S70, which are considered for the following three situations: 1. In one embodiment, if only passengers disembarking from the train proceed to the platform car, and none, then the method further includes step S60. 2. In another embodiment, if only passengers boarding the platform car proceed to the train, and none disembarking from the train proceed to the platform car, then the method further includes step S70. 3. In another embodiment, if both passengers boarding the platform car proceed to the train and passengers disembarking from the train proceed to the platform car, then the method further includes steps S60 and S70.

[0088] In practice, the transmission channel can be equipped with retractable and extendable slides. The first and second target seats are equipped with pulley systems adaptable to the slides. The first and second target seats are transported together under the drive of the first and second seat conveying devices.

[0089] Optionally, after step S60, the method further includes: verifying the destination station information of the passenger in the first target seat received in the platform car based on the destination station information of the passengers in the previous train, and closing the transmission channel after successful verification. And / or, after step S70, the method further includes: verifying the train number information of the passenger in the second target seat received in the train based on the train number information of the passengers in the previous platform car, and closing the transmission channel after successful verification.

[0090] Closing the transmission channel may include stopping the first seat conveying device and the second seat conveying device from conveying the first target seat and the second target seat, and automatically retracting the transmission channel from the unfolded state behind the door of the train or platform car.

[0091] Similarly, "and / or" also represent the three situations mentioned above, which will not be elaborated upon here. Through the above technical solution, after the first and second seat conveying devices have completed their transport, the transport results are verified against the passenger information for boarding and alighting before transport (based on the destination station information of the train passengers and the train number information of the platform car passengers). Only after successful verification is the transmission channel closed and transport stopped, ensuring that all passengers boarding and alighting have been transported. Obviously, if the verification fails, transport continues according to the verification result until successful verification, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0092] In the above scheme, when the train and platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, the preset door positions of the platform car and the train are matched. The preset doors are defined by the user; it is only necessary to ensure that when the platform car and the train are connected, the door of the train at one end of the transmission channel matches the door of the platform car at the other end of the transmission channel, guaranteeing that the transmission channel can laterally connect the train and the platform car. Based on the correspondence between the preset doors of the platform car and the preset doors of the train, the following two schemes are possible:

[0093] The first approach is as follows: The platform car simply transfers passengers whose departure station is the platform it points to to the train indicated by the train number, based on the passengers' departure station and train number information. In this case, the platform car only needs to transfer passengers to any carriage of the train or a carriage specifically for passenger boarding and alighting. Accordingly, the design of the pre-installed doors on the platform car and the train can be as follows: at least one door for passenger boarding and alighting is installed on the platform car; at least one door for passenger boarding and alighting is installed in at least one carriage of the train; or at least one carriage specifically for passenger boarding and alighting is installed on the train, with each carriage having at least one door for passenger boarding and alighting. The doors on the platform car are matched one-to-one with the doors on the train for passenger boarding and alighting. Consequently, when designing the train carriages, the carriages do not need to correspond to destination information; and when designing the seating area (carriage) of the platform car, the seating area (carriage) does not need to be divided according to destination information.

[0094] According to the design of the first scheme, the method further includes the following when transporting passengers:

[0095] Obtain passenger travel information, which includes departure station information and train number information;

[0096] Based on the departure station information and train number information, output the identification information of the platform car where the passenger is seated.

[0097] In practice, passengers can scan a QR code at the platform's human-computer interaction interface, enter their departure and destination station information, and select the corresponding train number. The passenger transport system then receives the departure and train number information and outputs the identification information of the platform car where the passenger will be seated.

[0098] The above technical solution assigns passengers to corresponding platform cars based on their travel information, laying the foundation for transferring passengers to the appropriate trains via platform cars.

[0099] The second approach is as follows: During the transfer, the platform car uses not only the passenger's departure station and train number information, but also the destination station information. This means it needs to transfer passengers whose departure station is the platform the platform car points to to the designated carriage of the train whose train number is indicated (this designated carriage is determined based on the passenger's destination information). Since the platform car needs to transfer passengers to designated carriages, the train carriages must be designed to correspond to the destination information; similarly, the platform car seating area (carriage) must also be divided according to the destination information. There are several ways to correspond train carriages to destination information, such as each carriage corresponding to one destination (meaning all passengers in each carriage are going to the same destination); or each carriage corresponding to at least two destinations (meaning all passengers in each carriage are going to one of the two corresponding destinations); or some carriages corresponding to one destination and some corresponding to at least two destinations. Correspondingly, there are various ways to correspond platform car seating areas (carriages) with destination information. For example, the platform car can be divided into multiple seating areas (carriages), each corresponding to one destination (i.e., all passengers in each seating area / carriage are going to the same destination); or each seating area (carriage) can correspond to at least two destinations (i.e., if each seating area / carriage corresponds to two destinations, then all passengers in each seating area / carriage are going to one of the two corresponding destinations); or some seating areas / carriages may correspond to one destination, while others may correspond to at least two destinations. Clearly, the train carriages and platform car seating areas (carriages) need to correspond to each other based on destination information so that, during passenger transport, passengers in seating area A (carriage) of the platform car can be transferred to carriage A of the train, where the destination of passengers in seating area A (carriage) of the platform car is the destination corresponding to carriage A of the train. For a single transport task, i.e., transporting a batch of passengers to a train, one platform car or multiple platform cars can be used, such as... Figure 6 As shown. To save space, we will only use the example of each carriage of a train corresponding to one destination, and each seating area (carriage) of each platform car corresponding to one destination, for illustration. Figure 6 In the diagram, each grid of the train represents a train carriage, each grid of the platform car represents a seating area (carriage) of the platform car, and A, B, C, D, E, and F represent destination information (destination name). Figure 6 To the left of the long dashed line is the indication that for a single transport task, one platform car can be used, such as platform car 1 or platform car 2. In this case, the lengths of the train and the platform car can be the same or different. Figure 6 To the right of the long dashed line indicates that two platform cars can be used for a single transport task, such as platform car 3 and platform car 4. In this case, the two platform cars can be of the same length or different lengths. Furthermore, from... Figure 6 As can be seen, if multiple passengers need to go to destinations far apart, such as destinations A and D, they can be transported using a single longer platform car (such as platform car 1 or platform car 2), or multiple shorter platform cars (such as platform car 3 and platform car 4). Accordingly, the design of the pre-installed doors for the platform cars and trains needs to be based on the destination information. That is, each carriage of the train must be equipped with at least one door for passengers to board and alight (since each carriage corresponds to at least one destination, at least one door is needed for each carriage to allow passengers to board and alight at each destination), each seating area (carriage) of the platform car must be equipped with at least one door for passengers to board and alight, and for a single transport task, all doors of the platform car and train must be door-to-door (matched), such as... Figure 6 The short dashed line represents the platform. Therefore, to achieve door-to-door matching, for platform cars and trains going to the same platform, the corresponding car lengths of each train can be set to be the same so that the same platform car can be used for matching; or for different types of trains, different types of platform cars can be used for matching. According to the design of the second scheme, when transporting passengers, the method further includes:

[0100] The system acquires passenger travel information, including departure station information, destination station information, and train number information; outputs the identification information of the platform car where the passenger is seated based on the departure station information and train number information, and determines the seat area number of the platform car where the passenger is seated based on the destination station information.

[0101] In practice, passengers can scan a QR code at the human-computer interaction interface on the platform, enter their departure station information and destination station information, and select the corresponding train number. The passenger transport system obtains the departure station information, destination station information, and train number information, and outputs the identification information of the platform car where the passenger will sit and the seat area number.

[0102] The above technical solution divides passengers into corresponding seating areas on the platform cars based on their travel information, laying the foundation for orderly and convenient transfer to the train via the platform cars.

[0103] Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a third seat transport device electrically connected to the controller, the third seat transport device being disposed on the platform, and the method further includes:

[0104] The control system transports the third target seat located on the platform to the platform car, wherein the third target seat is the seat occupied by the passenger whose train number information on the platform matches the train number information on the platform car.

[0105] With the above setup, by using a third seat conveyor to transport the third target seat, passengers on the platform can be transported to the platform car without having to walk to transfer themselves. This avoids passengers missing their boarding time due to falling asleep or walking slowly, as well as congestion caused by disorderly transfers by multiple passengers.

[0106] Based on the above-described inventive concept, this disclosure also provides a passenger transport device. This passenger transport device is applied to a controller in a passenger transport system. The passenger transport system further includes a transmission channel electrically connected to the controller. The transmission channel is used for lateral communication between the train and the platform car. Figure 7 A block diagram of a passenger transport device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the device includes:

[0107] The synchronization judgment module 10 is used to determine whether the train and the platform car are in a lateral synchronization state.

[0108] The virtual formation module 30 is used to form a large formation train by using virtual formation technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication when it is determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, so as to keep the train and the platform car running in lateral synchronization.

[0109] The connectivity control module 50 is used to control the transmission channel to laterally connect the train and the platform car, so as to realize the transmission of passengers between the train and the platform car.

[0110] Through the above technical solution, after the train and platform car are in a laterally synchronized state, virtual train formation technology based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication is used to group the train and platform car into a large train formation. The train and platform car then synchronize their operating status in real time, ensuring they always maintain laterally synchronized operation. Based on this, a transmission channel is established to connect the train and platform car laterally, enabling non-stop dynamic passenger boarding and alighting. Therefore, using the technical solution provided in this disclosure, when one train (platform car or train) decelerates or brakes suddenly, the other train (train or platform car) will also decelerate or brake suddenly, preventing significant jerking and passenger falls during transfers; it also avoids significant dragging on the transmission channel, preventing wear or even detachment. Furthermore, the technical solution provided in this disclosure uses a transmission channel to connect the train and platform car, allowing passengers to board and alight as if on a single train. The existing technology involves locking the train and platform car together via hooks or interlocking devices after the train (platform car) doors are aligned, allowing passengers to directly step from the train (platform car) doors into the platform car (train) doors. Therefore, compared to the existing technology, boarding and alighting via a transmission channel is safer and avoids discomfort caused by fear of heights or other anxieties when transferring between two high-speed trains.

[0111] Optionally, the device further includes:

[0112] The train information acquisition module is used to acquire the train number information and the passenger's destination station information.

[0113] The platform car information acquisition module is used to acquire the platform information of the platform car and the passenger's train number information.

[0114] The vehicle-to-vehicle communication module is used to send virtual formation commands to the train and the platform car when the destination station information of passengers in the train matches the platform information represented by the platform car, or when the train number information of passengers in the platform car matches the train number information of the train, so as to control the train and the platform car to perform vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

[0115] Through the above technical solution, when the destination of the passengers on the train is matched with the platform to which the platform car points, that is, when the passengers on the train need to get off at the station, or when the train number information of the passengers on the platform car is matched with the train number, that is, when the passengers on the platform car need to board the train, the train and the platform car are controlled to conduct car-to-car communication, so as to lay the foundation for the virtual formation of subsequent trains and platform cars.

[0116] Optionally, the synchronization judgment module 10 is specifically used to: determine that the train and the platform car are in a lateral synchronization state when the speeds of the platform car and the train are equal, the lateral distance between the platform car and the train is equal within a preset time period and meets a preset distance range, and the preset door positions of the platform car and the train match; otherwise, determine that the train and the platform car are not in a lateral synchronization state.

[0117] Through the above technical solution, only when the speeds of the platform car and the train are equal, the lateral spacing between the platform car and the train is equal within a preset time period and meets a preset distance range, and the preset door positions of the platform car and the train match, is it determined that the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. Only then are the train and the platform car grouped into a large train formation to keep the train and the platform car running in lateral synchronization. Only then is the transmission channel controlled to laterally connect the train and the platform car, realizing the transmission of passengers between the train and the platform car and ensuring the safe boarding and alighting of passengers.

[0118] In actual implementation, when it is determined that the train and the platform car are not in a lateral synchronization state, the train operation information of the platform car can be adjusted based on the train operation information according to the train operation information, until the train and the platform car meet the preset synchronization state. The operation information includes the current speed, direction of travel and current position.

[0119] Optionally, the device further includes:

[0120] The distance acquisition module is used to control the platform car to acquire the distance between the train and the platform car;

[0121] The adjustment module is used to adjust the driving information of the platform car according to the driving information of the train when the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, until the train and the platform car are in a lateral synchronization state. The driving information includes the current speed, driving direction and current position.

[0122] Through the above technical solution, when the destination of a passenger on the train matches the platform indicated by the platform car (i.e., when a passenger on the train needs to disembark at their destination), or when the train number information of a passenger on the platform car matches the train number (i.e., when a passenger on the platform car needs to board), the system controls the train and platform car to establish car-to-car communication. After car-to-car communication, the platform car can obtain the train's position information and thus the distance between the train and the platform car. If the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, the platform car's driving information is adjusted according to the train's driving information until the train and the platform car are in a laterally synchronized state. Subsequently, the train and the platform car are grouped into a large trainset, maintaining lateral synchronization between them. The transmission channel is then controlled to laterally connect the train and the platform car, enabling passenger transfer between them and ensuring safe passenger boarding and alighting.

[0123] Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a first seat conveying device electrically connected to the controller, the first seat conveying device being disposed on the train, and the device further including a first seat control module. Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a second seat conveying device electrically connected to the controller, the second seat conveying device being disposed on the platform car, and the device further including a second seat control module. Optionally, the passenger transport system further includes a first seat conveying device and a second seat conveying device electrically connected to the controller, the first seat conveying device being disposed on the train, and the second seat conveying device being disposed on the platform car, and the device further including a second seat control module.

[0124] The first seat control module is used to control the first seat conveying device to convey the first target seat located on the train to the platform car, wherein the first target seat is the seat where the passenger whose destination station information matches the platform information indicated by the platform car sits.

[0125] That is, the first target seat is the seat for passengers arriving at the station and transferring from the train to the platform car. Through the above technical solution, by using a first seat conveying device to transport the first target seat, passengers on the train are transported to the platform car, eliminating the need for passengers to walk to transfer themselves. This avoids passengers missing their disembarkation time due to falling asleep or walking slowly, as well as congestion caused by disorderly transfers by multiple passengers.

[0126] The second seat control module is used to control the second seat conveying device to convey the second target seat located on the platform car to the train, wherein the second target seat is the seat where the passenger whose train number information in the platform car matches the train number information.

[0127] That is, the second target seat is the seat for passengers who are preparing to board the train and need to transfer from the platform car to the train. Through the above technical solution, by using a second seat conveying device to transport the second target seat, passengers on the platform are transported to the train without having to walk to transfer themselves. This avoids passengers missing their boarding time due to falling asleep or walking slowly, as well as congestion caused by disorderly transfers by multiple passengers.

[0128] Optionally, the device further includes: a first verification module and / or a second verification module.

[0129] The first verification module is used to verify the destination station information of the passengers of the first target seat received in the platform car based on the destination station information of the train passengers before the first seat conveying device conveys the first target seat to the platform car, and close the transmission channel after the verification is successful.

[0130] The second verification module is used to verify the train number information of the passengers of the second target seat received in the train based on the train number information of the passengers of the platform car before the second seat conveying device conveys the second target seat to the train, and close the transmission channel after the verification is successful.

[0131] Through the above technical solution, after the first and second seat conveying devices have completed their transport, the transport results are verified against the passenger information for boarding and alighting before transport (based on the destination station information of the train passengers and the train number information of the platform car passengers). Only after successful verification is the transmission channel closed and transport stopped, ensuring that all passengers for boarding and alighting have been transported. Obviously, if the verification fails, transport continues according to the verification result until successful verification, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0132] Optionally, the device further includes:

[0133] The passenger information acquisition module is used to acquire passenger passenger information, which includes departure station information, destination station information, and train number information.

[0134] The platform car division module is used to output the identification information of the platform car where the passenger will sit based on the departure station information and train number information, and to determine the seat area number of the platform car where the passenger will sit based on the destination station information.

[0135] The above technical solution divides passengers into corresponding seating areas on the platform cars based on their travel information, laying the foundation for orderly and convenient transfer to the train via the platform cars.
