Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of train control, specifically to a method for switching control rights between a central control center and a vehicle depot. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are provided only as background information in connection with this disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] In a fully automated operation system, a depot dispatcher mainly refers to a person responsible for depot dispatching in the OCC (Control Center) or DCC (Depot Control Center). Their main job responsibilities and jurisdiction are mainly responsible for shunting operations, car washing operations, sleep wake-up operations, train cleaning operations, etc. within the depot. These tasks mainly occur in train operations within the depot.

[0004] Since there are field dispatchers in both the OCC and DCC, the allocation of functions and management of control permissions in the field dispatch workstation are particularly important to prevent management conflicts. However, no relevant technology has been proposed for the switching of control rights. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for switching control of the field dispatching between the central control center and the vehicle base. Detailed Implementation

[0041] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0042] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] In this embodiment, it should first be noted that the workstation functions are allocated as follows:

[0045] OCC:

[0046] The dispatcher and dispatch chief workstations, as well as the depot dispatch workstations, display and monitor information on the main line and depot; and the dispatcher and dispatch chief workstations, as well as the depot dispatch workstations, are collectively referred to as the central dispatch workstation.

[0047] DCC:

[0048] The local control workstation only displays vehicle base station information. In the event of a malfunction of the central dispatch workstation, the local control workstation switches to station control mode to control the vehicle base and perform operations such as setting head numbers and processing routes.

[0049] One ATS field dispatch workstation is used to display the status of the entire line. In central control mode, after obtaining control from the central dispatch workstation, it can issue FAO commands such as hibernation and wake-up at the vehicle base, as well as handle routes, operate switches and sections, etc.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 A method for switching control of the dispatch center and vehicle base, specifically including:

[0051] The control mode of the ATS field adjustment workstation in the center and the field section includes: a central control mode, a station control mode, and an emergency station control mode;

[0052] The control mode switching of the ATS field adjustment workstation can be performed by the central dispatch workstation, the ATS field adjustment workstation, and the on-site control workstation. It should be noted that the switching operation can be initiated by the dispatcher or the vehicle depot attendant;

[0053] In the central control mode, the control right of the vehicle depot can be switched between the central dispatch workstation and the ATS field adjustment workstation, and the on-site control workstation. The party in control performs the corresponding control mode switching. At the same time, when the control right is switched, the normal operation of the train is not affected, and the control right position information is prompted. If the control right switching command is invalid, an operation failure information is provided.

[0054] In this embodiment, specifically, in the central control mode, the initial default of the vehicle depot centralized area is controlled by the ATS field adjustment workstation. The control right of the vehicle depot can be switched between the central dispatch workstation and the ATS field adjustment workstation.

When the central ATS fails or other emergency scenarios require the control right to be delegated, in the station control mode, the ATS subsystem has an automatic route triggering function, and the ATS field adjustment workstation of the vehicle depot has a function of issuing a hibernation wake-up instruction.

[0059] In this embodiment, specifically, in the emergency station control mode, the manual control function of the vehicle depot is completed by the on-site control workstation in the vehicle depot.

[0060] In the emergency station control mode, the on-site control workstation can manually control the entire vehicle depot. In the emergency station control mode, the ATS subsystem loses the automatic route triggering function.

[0061] In this embodiment, specifically, the control mode switching includes:

[0062] The central control mode switches to the station control mode, the central control mode switches to the emergency station control mode, the station control mode switches to the emergency station control mode, the emergency station control mode switches to the station control mode, the station control mode switches to the central control mode, and the emergency station control mode switches to the central control mode.
