[0002] When arranging a train route, the Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) or Traffic Control Integrated Automation System (TIAS) issues a route arrangement command. Once the route arrangement conditions are met, the Computer Interlocking (CI) subsystem drives the switches within the route to the corresponding positions and locks the switches and sections within the route. For ordinary train routes, the arrangement is generally constrained by factors such as the position of the switches and the locking direction of the sections.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes the method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium for handling linked routes according to the present invention.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for handling intermodal routes provided by the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The method for handling the connecting route provided by the present invention includes steps 110, 120 and 130.

[0036] Step 110: When the first train runs to the overlapping section between the first route and the second route, obtain the first status information; wherein, the first route is in the route unlocked state, the second route is in the opposite direction to the first route, the first route includes at least two sections, the overlapping section is the end section of the first route and the second route, and the first status information includes the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route and the stopping status information corresponding to the first train.

[0037] Step 120: Based on the first state information, obtain the second state information; the second state information includes: the route attribute of the second route, the end section attribute of the second route, the route state information of the second route, and the signal proximity information of the second train before entering the second route;

[0038] Step 130: Based on the first status information, the second status information, and the route processing command for the second route, determine whether to process the coupling route for the second train.

[0039] The execution subject of the linkage route processing method provided by this invention can be an electronic device, a component in the electronic device, an integrated circuit, or a chip. The electronic device can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, a mobile electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, PDA, in-vehicle electronic device, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., while a non-mobile electronic device can be a server, network attached storage (NAS), personal computer (PC), television set (TV), ATM, or self-service machine, etc. This invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0040] The following describes the technical solution of the present invention in detail, taking the computer execution of the joint route processing method provided by the present invention as an example.

[0041] In related technologies, existing large-formation trains can be formed by physically coupling two small-formation trains in a depot, requiring the participation of dispatchers, drivers, and trackside personnel. This formation method is overly complex, time-consuming, and leads to low passenger efficiency. Using large-formation trains and increasing headway also results in longer waiting times for passengers, causing a decline in service quality. Furthermore, the passenger flow varies between stations along subway lines; stations in urban areas have higher passenger flow than those in suburban areas. Using large-formation trains leads to low occupancy rates and increased energy consumption, making flexible train formation essential. However, trains in a coupled state often lack corresponding route processing methods and other related control methods because the route's coupling attributes or the sections within the route are not considered. Additionally, routes are generally not permitted if reverse locking exists within the sections to be processed.

[0042] In this step, the first train has successfully completed the first route, and the first route is in the route unlocked state, so the first train can run normally on the first route.

[0043] The first train is a coupled train, and the second train is a coupled train. Both the first and second trains can be a single train or a trainset consisting of multiple trains.

[0044] In practical application, the coupling route method provided by this invention can be applied to, for example... Figure 2 The system architecture shown may include a TIAS or ATS module 210, a maintenance and monitoring system 260, an indoor section, and a trackside section.

[0045] The indoor component includes a logic processing module 220 and a command acquisition and feedback module 230 installed in the station signal control room; the logic processing module 220 and the command acquisition and feedback module 230 are connected in communication.

[0046] The logic processing module 220 may include multiple central processing units (CPUs) and communication units, such as a main CPU that mainly interacts with the outside world and a slave CPU that mainly interacts with the main CPU, with communication connections between the multiple CPUs and the communication units; the command acquisition and feedback module 230 may include a CPU and a communication unit, with communication connections between the CPU and the communication unit.

[0047] The trackside section includes a trackside status acquisition and control turnout electronic module 240 and a trackside status acquisition and control track circuit electronic module 250 installed beside the track, meaning that both the primary processing unit and the train detection unit are located beside the track.

[0048] The trackside status acquisition and control turnout electronic module 240 may include a random access memory (RAM), a processing module, and a display unit, while the trackside status acquisition and control track circuit electronic module 250 may include RAM, a processing module, and a display unit.

[0049] The indoor and outdoor components, as well as the maintenance and monitoring system 260, can communicate with each other via a wireless data communication network.

[0050] In this step, after the TIAS or ATS module 210 confirms the coupling operation details, it can send a stop command to the indoor section and the trackside section via serial port or network port to the first train (the coupled train), and send a stop command to the onboard controller of the first train.

[0051] After receiving the stop command, the command acquisition and feedback module 230 can send feedback to the sender of the command, namely the TIAS or ATS module 210, that it has received the stop command of the first train.

[0052] The trackside section is used to acquire and control the turnout equipment within the route and to obtain the train's position information within the route.

[0053] The trackside section can correspond to multiple track sections or multiple routes. It can obtain section occupancy information of different track sections, the corresponding stop status information of the train, or the status information of different routes, and send the above information to the logic processing module.

[0054] In this step, the trackside section can acquire first status information when the first train runs to the overlapping section between the first route and the second route, and can determine whether to acquire second status information based on the first status information.

[0055] The overlapping section can be used for coupling trains and for stopping the coupled trains. The overlapping section is the end section of the first route and the second route, and the overlapping section may contain at least one section. The second route is a route in the opposite direction to the first route.

[0056] It should be noted that the coupling attribute means that two trains can be "connected" together through physical or virtual coupling, and the tracking logic between the two trains can be ignored. Train coupling must be carried out on sections or routes with the coupling attribute. Understandably, only if both the first and second routes are coupling routes with the coupling attribute, and the overlapping section is a coupling-capable section with the coupling attribute, can the possibility of establishing a coupling route for the second route be considered.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first state information may include the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route and the stationary status information corresponding to the first train, and the second state information may include the route attributes of the second route, the end section attributes of the second route, the route status information of the second route, and the signal proximity information of the second train before entering the second route.

[0058] Section occupancy information is used to determine whether a communication train is occupying a track section; stationary status information is used to determine whether the train is stationary; signal proximity information is used to indicate the distance between the train and the starting signal of the route; route attributes are used to indicate whether the route is a coupling route; end section attributes are used to indicate whether the section is a coupling section; route status information can include five different states: route idle, route selection, route locked, signal open, and automatic unlocking.

[0059] In some embodiments, obtaining the second state information includes:

[0060] Based on the route configuration data, the coupling attributes of the second route and the coupling attributes of the sections within the second route are determined.

[0061] In practice, route configuration data can be stored in a route data table. The route data table contains attribute information for all routes. Therefore, the route attributes and terminal section attributes of the second route can be determined through the route data table, thereby determining whether the second route has the connection attribute and whether the terminal section of the second route has the connection attribute.

[0062] In addition, the trackside section can simultaneously acquire and control multiple turnout devices, receive commands from the logic processing module to control the rotation of the turnout devices, and acquire the status information of the turnout devices and send it to the logic processing module.

[0063] When the trackside unit communicates with the logic processing module, the communication information can be packaged according to the device, supporting railway communication signal safety communication protocols. The trackside unit is powered by a power module.

[0064] Wireless data communication networks can be implemented through wireless communication transceiver modules. These modules can be embedded in the trackside section and used to access trackside wireless access points (APs), enabling wireless communication between the transceiver module and the logic processing module.

[0065] In this step, the route processing command for the second route can be obtained through the command acquisition and feedback module, and then the route processing command for the second route can be issued to the first train through TIAS or ATS.

[0066] The logic processing module determines whether to process a coupling route for the second train based on the received first status information, second status information, and route processing command for the second route, combined with the stored line configuration data.

[0067] The coupling route processing method provided by this invention obtains first and second state information when the first train runs to the overlapping section between the first and second routes. During route processing, it considers the section occupancy information of the first route, the stationary status information of the first train, and the route attributes, end section attributes, route status information, and signal proximity information of the second route to determine whether coupling routes can be processed for the second train. This allows coupling routes in the opposite direction to be processed, providing the possibility of flexible formation within coupling routes and improving the availability and vehicle utilization rate of coupling route processing.

[0068] In some embodiments, obtaining second state information based on first state information includes:

[0069] If the first state information satisfies the first condition, then the second state information is obtained;

[0070] The first condition includes: based on the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route, determining that there is at least one unlocked section in the first route other than the section occupied by the first train, and that the last section of the first route is occupied by a communication train; and based on the stop status information corresponding to the first train, determining that the first train is in a stop status.

[0071] In actual execution, after obtaining the first status message, the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route and the stationary status information corresponding to the first train are determined.

[0072] Based on the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route, the occupancy status of each track section in the first route can be determined, and thus it can be determined whether the last section of the first route is occupied by a communication train.

[0073] It should be noted that the section occupancy information can indicate that the track section is occupied by a communication train, or that the track section is idle or that no communication train is occupying the track section.

[0074] Based on the stopping status information of the first train, it can be determined whether the first train has reached a stopping state when it is running in the overlapping section.

[0075] If the last section of the first route is occupied by a communication train and the first train has come to a complete stop, the first state information can be considered to meet the first condition, and then the second state information can be obtained.

[0076] In some embodiments, before determining whether to process a coupling route for the second train based on the first status information, the second status information, and the route processing command for the second route, the coupling route processing method further includes:

[0077] If the second state information meets the second condition, obtain the route processing command for the second route;

[0078] The second condition is: the route attribute of the second route is a coupled route, the end section attribute of the second route is a coupled section, the route status information of the second route is route selection status or route locking status, and the signal proximity information is used to indicate that the distance between the second train and the starting signal of the second route is less than a preset distance.

[0079] In actual implementation, after the first state information meets the first condition, the second state information can be obtained, and it can be judged one by one whether the second state information meets the second condition.

[0080] Optionally, it can be first determined whether the second route has a linked route attribute. If the second route is a normal route without a linked attribute, a linked route cannot be processed, but the route can be processed according to the existing logic for processing normal routes. If the second route is a linked route, it can be processed according to the linked route processing logic provided by this invention.

[0081] It should be noted that when a train travels on the track, the track is divided into many routes. These routes can be ordinary routes where trains cannot be coupled together, or coupling routes where trains can be coupled together. A route can contain several track sections, which can be ordinary sections where trains cannot be coupled together, or coupling sections where trains can be coupled together.

[0082] Optionally, proximity information generated by the starting signal of the second route can be obtained through a Zone Controller (ZC) or Line Control System (LCS) to determine the distance between the second train and the starting signal of the second route. If this distance is less than a preset distance, the coupling route processing logic is satisfied. Otherwise, the processing fails, meaning the coupling route is not processed for the second train.

[0083] The setting that the distance between the second train and the starting signal of the second route is less than a preset distance indicates that the second train is approaching and about to enter the second route. The preset distance can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0084] In practice, when a train travels on the track, the track is divided into multiple routes, which is accomplished by two signals. When a second train is heading towards a second route, it needs to send an approach signal to the starting signal of the second route as it approaches. Upon receiving the approach signal, the starting signal of the second route forwards it to the computer interlocking subsystem (CI). This approach signal is required for the starting signal of the second route to activate its lights; only after the lights are activated can the second train proceed normally. Upon receiving the approach signal, the CI can control the starting signal to activate its lights.

[0085] Optionally, it can be determined whether the route status information of the second route is in the route selection state or the route locking state.

[0086] In practice, the ATS or computer interlocking subsystem CI can be used for route selection and arrangement. When the second route is in the route selection and arrangement state, it can be regarded as meeting the joint route processing logic.

[0087] When the second route is in the route selection state, if the locking transition condition is passed, the route status information is changed to the route locking state. When the second route is in the route locking state, it can also be regarded as satisfying the joint route processing logic.

[0088] It should be noted that the route locking state refers to locking the switches related to the selected route and the opposing route, as long as the route is in an idle state, the switch positions are correct, and no opposing route has been established, so that they cannot be activated or established.

[0089] In summary, when the route attribute of the second route is a coupled route, the end section attribute of the second route is a coupled section, the route status information of the second route is a route selection status or a route locking status, and the signal proximity information is used to indicate that the distance between the second train and the starting signal of the second route is less than a preset distance, it is determined that the second status information meets the second condition.

[0090] In some embodiments, determining whether to process a coupling route for the second train based on the first status information, the second status information, and the route processing command for the second route includes:

[0091] If the first status information meets the first condition and the second status information meets the second condition, a coupling route is processed for the second train based on the route processing order.

[0092] It is understandable that if the first status information meets the first condition and the second status information meets the second condition, it means that all status information meets the inter-coupling route processing logic. Therefore, the inter-coupling route can be automatically processed for the second train according to the route processing command of the second route.

[0093] The coupling route processing method provided by this invention obtains second status information during coupling route processing, considering whether the route attribute of the second route is a coupling route, whether the end section attribute of the second route is a coupling section, whether the route status information of the second route is a route selection state or a route locking state, and whether the signal proximity information indicates that the distance between the second train and the starting signal of the second route is less than a preset distance. When the second status information meets the second condition, a route processing command for the second route is obtained, thereby allowing the processing of routes in the opposite direction. This provides the possibility of flexible formation within coupling routes, improves the availability of coupling route processing and vehicle utilization.

[0094] In some embodiments, the locking direction of the overlapping section is consistent with the direction of the first path.

[0095] It is understandable that since the second route is in the opposite direction to the first route, and the locking direction of the overlapping section is in the same direction as the first route, there are reverse-locked sections in the second route.

[0096] The method for processing coupled routes provided by this invention allows for the processing of coupled routes even when a section within a route is reverse-locked, thereby improving vehicle utilization.

[0097] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention can be applied to the following scenarios:

[0098] First, process the first route S01->S02. The first train runs to a stop at section G02. At this point, section G01 has been unlocked. Sections G02 and G03 overlap, and both sections G02 and G03 remain locked to the right. The first route S01->S02 is in the opposite direction to the second route X02->X01.

[0099] At this point, when processing the second route (linked route) X02->X01, the following linked route processing logic needs to be checked:

[0100] 1. The second route X02->X01 is a connecting route, which can be determined by querying the route attributes configured in the line data table;

[0101] 2. Sections G02 and G03 are connectable sections, which can be determined by querying the section attributes configured in the line data table;

[0102] 3. Sections G02 and G03 are the last sections of the approach route. Section G02 is the last section, and section G03 is the second to last section.

[0103] 4. The first train came to a complete stop at the end of the second route section G02, which can be determined by the stopping information frame sent by the area controller ZC device;

[0104] 5. Section G02 is occupied by a communication train. The specific occupancy status information of the section can be determined through the section occupancy information sent by the area controller ZC equipment.

[0105] 6. The second route X02->X01 is in the route selection state or the route is locked state;

[0106] 7. A communication train is approaching at the starting signal X02.

[0107] When all seven conditions above are met, the selection and arrangement process of the second route X02->X01 can be carried out without checking the locking direction of section G02 and section G03, and the coupling route can be completed for the second train.

[0108] The coupling route processing method provided by this invention enables flexible grouping of coupled and coupled trains within the coupling route. After flexible grouping, the coupled and coupled trains can be considered as a single unit. The initiation of coupling route processing can be completed through route processing commands from ATS or TIAS. The necessary information is obtained and corresponding logical processing is completed using devices such as the area controller (ZC) and the computer interlocking subsystem (CI). When the conditions specified by the coupling logic are met, the coupling route is automatically triggered. Furthermore, if the conditions specified by the coupling logic are not met, the system can switch to processing a regular train route, improving system availability. This allows coupling routes to be processed even when a section within the route is reverse-locked, thus increasing vehicle utilization.

[0109] The following describes the coupled route processing device provided by the present invention. The coupled route processing device described below and the coupled route processing method described above can be referred to in correspondence.

[0110] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the coupling route processing device provided by the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The linkage route processing device provided by the present invention includes: a first acquisition module 410, a second acquisition module 420 and a judgment module 430.

[0111] The first acquisition module 410 is used to acquire first status information when the first train runs to the overlapping section between the first route and the second route; wherein the second route is opposite to the direction of the first route, the first route includes at least two sections, the overlapping section is the last section of the first route and the second route, and the first status information includes the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route and the stopping status information corresponding to the first train.

[0112] The second acquisition module 420 is used to acquire second status information based on the first status information; the second status information includes: the route attribute of the second route, the end section attribute of the second route, the route status information of the second route, and the signal proximity information of the second train before entering the second route;

[0113] The judgment module 430 is used to determine whether to process a coupling route for the second train based on the first status information, the second status information and the route processing command of the second route.

[0114] The coupling route processing device provided by this invention acquires first and second state information when the first train runs to the overlapping section between the first and second routes. During route processing, it considers the section occupancy information of the first route, the stopping status information of the first train, and the route attributes, end section attributes, route status information, and signal proximity information of the second route to determine whether coupling routes can be processed for the second train. This allows coupling routes in the opposite direction to be processed, providing the possibility of flexible formation within coupling routes and improving the availability and vehicle utilization rate of coupling route processing.

[0115] In some embodiments, the second acquisition module 420 is specifically used for:

[0116] If the first state information satisfies the first condition, the second state information is obtained;

[0117] The first condition includes: based on the section occupancy information corresponding to the first route, determining that there is at least one unlocked section in the first route other than the section occupied by the first train, and that the last section of the first route is occupied by a communication train; and based on the stop status information corresponding to the first train, determining that the first train is in a stop status.
