[0002] Currently, the train control system based on communication (CBTC) controls the departure time of a rail train in the rail transit industry. After the rail train stops at a platform, the rail train starts to count down according to the station stop time sent by the automatic train supervision (ATS), and departs after the countdown is over. The automatic train supervision system usually adjusts the station stop time of the current platform according to the running time of the rail train in the previous running section, for example, if the running time in the previous running section is overtime, the station stop time of the rail train at the current platform is reduced.

[0003] However, if the rail train finds that the required trackside equipment on the line to be driven is occupied by other trains and cannot be used after departure, the rail train will be forced to stop in the running section, and in the case of an emergency, rescue or evacuation of passengers is very inconvenient. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a departure time adjustment method, a storage medium, a vehicle-mounted controller and a rail vehicle to solve the problem that the adjustment of the departure time of the vehicle does not consider the front driving vehicle and the required resource equipment, which easily leads to the forced stop of the vehicle in the running section.

[0016] Optionally, the adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the second time difference and the planned parking time of the target vehicle comprises:

[0017] if the predicted end time is less than or equal to the total time, the departure time is a departure time determined according to the planned parking time;

[0018] if the predicted end time is greater than the total time, the departure time is adjusted according to a sum of the planned parking time and the second time difference.

[0019] Optionally, the obtaining the preceding vehicle information corresponding to the resource device required by the target vehicle on the to-be-traveled route comprises:

[0024] The pre-vehicle uses the resource device to feed back the estimated end time of the resource device in response to the second query request, and the estimated end time is determined by the pre-vehicle according to the running state of the pre-vehicle and the use of the resource device.

[0025] Optionally, the resource device is multiple, and the first time difference between the estimated end time and the estimated driving time is determined by:

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0042] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in accordance with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the device is located, and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0043] It should be understood that each of the steps recited in the method embodiments of the present disclosure can be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. In addition, the method embodiments can include additional steps and / or omit performing the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect. The term "comprising" and variations thereof as used herein are open-ended, that is, "comprising but not limited to." The term "based on" is "based at least in part on." The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments." Related definitions will be given in the description below.

[0044] It should be noted that the "first", "second", and the like concepts mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units. It should be noted that the modification of "one" or "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure is illustrative and not limiting, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0045] Since the normal operation of the rail train is affected by the front running vehicle, the platform, the turnout, the turn-back track and other trackside equipment, if the front running vehicle is parked and occupies the resource equipment due to unexpected situations such as fire at the front platform, emergency stop button being pressed, platform door failure or other failures, it will cause other vehicles to be unable to operate normally, and if the vehicle has already departed from the platform, it will cause the vehicle to be forced to stop in the running section. Especially for the starting vehicle, since there is no last running section, there is basically no adjustment space for the departure time.

[0046] In this case, if an emergency situation occurs, such as a vehicle fire requiring rescue or evacuation of passengers, or a passenger suddenly falling ill and needing to get off the train for treatment, if the vehicle is forced to stop in the section, it will cause great inconvenience for rescue or evacuation of passengers, not only the efficiency is low, but also the cost is relatively high.

[0047] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a departure time adjustment method, a storage medium, a vehicle controller and a rail vehicle to solve the above problems.

[0048] It should be noted that the departure time adjustment method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to an automatic driving rail vehicle (train) or a manual driving rail vehicle (train), and the execution subject of the method can be a vehicle or an electronic device installed on the vehicle, such as a vehicle on-board controller (VOBC) of the rail vehicle, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0049] The technical solutions of the present disclosure are described in detail below with examples.

[0050] The present disclosure provides a method for adjusting departure time, referring to Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps.

[0051] S101, obtaining front vehicle information corresponding to a resource device required by a target vehicle on a to-be-traveled route.

[0052] The front vehicle information corresponds to a front sequence vehicle, which means a vehicle using the resource device before the target vehicle uses the resource device.

[0053] S102, establishing communication with the front sequence vehicle according to the front vehicle information, and obtaining an estimated end time of the front sequence vehicle using the resource device.

[0054] S103, determining an estimated travel time of the target vehicle traveling to the resource device.

[0055] S104, adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the estimated end time, the estimated travel time, and a planned stop time of the target vehicle.

[0056] By using the above method, the departure time of the target vehicle is adjusted by communicating with the front sequence vehicle, combining the operating conditions of the front sequence vehicle and the use of the resource device, which can avoid the vehicle being forced to stop in the operating section after departure, that is, in the case of conflict between the use of the resource device by the front sequence vehicle and the target vehicle, the vehicle is parked in the platform to wait, and then in an emergency, it is convenient for rescue or evacuation of passengers. At the same time, the efficiency of rescue or evacuation of passengers is improved and the cost is reduced.

[0057] In order to make those skilled in the art more understand the method for adjusting departure time provided by the present disclosure, the above steps are described in detail below.

[0058] In a possible manner, obtaining the front vehicle information corresponding to the resource device required by the target vehicle on the to-be-traveled route can be: sending a first query request for the resource device to a vehicle monitoring system, receiving the front vehicle information corresponding to the resource device fed back by the vehicle monitoring system in response to the first query request, and the front vehicle information is determined by the vehicle monitoring system according to the resource device and a preset vehicle operation plan.

[0059] It should be noted that, taking the target vehicle as a track train for example, the vehicle monitoring system refers to an automatic train supervision (ATS), which is responsible for preparing a train diagram, automatically handling train routes according to the train diagram, automatically adjusting train operation intervals, and recording operation data, etc. Among them, the automatic train supervision system will record the vehicle operation plan of the track train and the resource device required for operation, such as platform, turnout, turn-back track and other trackside devices.

[0060] For example, taking the target vehicle as a rail train and the execution subject as a vehicle-mounted controller as an example, after the target vehicle is parked at the platform, the vehicle-mounted controller traverses a resource device list of the target vehicle to query resource devices required by the target vehicle from the current platform to the next platform. The vehicle-mounted controller sends the queried resource device information, such as a resource device ID, to the train automatic monitoring system to request the front vehicle information corresponding to the required resource device. After receiving the query request including the resource device ID, the train automatic monitoring system queries a vehicle operation plan of the day, and returns the front vehicle information corresponding to the resource device ID and used by a front vehicle in front of the target vehicle to the vehicle-mounted controller of the target vehicle. The front vehicle information includes a front vehicle ID, a train number, and a table number, and since the rail train is sequentially operated, for one resource device, only the information corresponding to the front sequence vehicle using the resource device in front of the target vehicle needs to be returned.

[0061] In a possible manner, the establishment of communication with the front sequence vehicle according to the front vehicle information and the acquisition of the predicted end time of the use of the resource device by the front sequence vehicle can be: sending a second query request for the resource device to the front sequence vehicle, receiving the predicted end time of the use of the resource device by the front sequence vehicle fed back by the front sequence vehicle in response to the second query request, and the predicted end time being determined by the front sequence vehicle according to the running state of the front sequence vehicle and the use of the resource device.

[0062] For example, after receiving the front vehicle information, the vehicle-mounted controller establishes a communication connection with the front sequence vehicle corresponding to the front vehicle ID according to the front vehicle ID. The resource device ID is sent to the front sequence vehicle, and after receiving the resource device ID, the vehicle-mounted controller of the front sequence vehicle can combine the train automatic operation system (ATO) to calculate the predicted end time of the use of the resource device according to the running state of the vehicle including the vehicle position information, the operation plan information, the line speed limit, and the use of the resource device, and return the target vehicle.

[0063] It should be noted that the resource devices required by the target vehicle from the current platform to the next platform can include multiple resource devices, and the front sequence vehicles corresponding to the multiple resource devices can be one or multiple. If there are multiple front sequence vehicles corresponding to multiple resource devices, communication is established with the multiple front sequence vehicles respectively. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication between vehicles can be vehicle-to-vehicle communication based on the train autonomous control system (TACS).

[0064] In addition, since the rail train has a turnaround operation, that is, the previous vehicle arrives at the terminal and then turns back. In this case, although the previous vehicle is the previous vehicle using the required resource equipment of the target vehicle, since the vehicle runs on a different track after turning back, there is no resource equipment use conflict with the target vehicle. In order to avoid the waste of communication resources and calculation resources caused by querying and calculating the predicted end time of using the resource equipment in this case, the train number and table number can be requested to be sent by the previous vehicle when the target vehicle communicates with the previous vehicle. If the train number and table number are inconsistent with the train number and table number sent by the train automatic monitoring system, it means that the previous vehicle is a turnaround vehicle, and there is no need to send a second query request for the resource equipment to the previous vehicle. If they are consistent, it means that the target vehicle and the previous vehicle may have a resource equipment use conflict, and a second query request for the resource equipment is sent to the previous vehicle.

[0065] It is worth noting that the predicted end time of using the resource equipment sent by the previous vehicle can be a specific end time, such as 13:02:51, indicating that the previous vehicle ends using the resource equipment at 13:02:51. It can also be a predicted end length calculated based on the current time, such as 3 minutes and 2 seconds, indicating that the previous vehicle ends using the resource equipment after 3 minutes and 2 seconds. The present disclosure does not limit this. After receiving the predicted end time of using the resource equipment sent by the previous vehicle, the on-board controller of the target vehicle can calculate the predicted driving time of the target vehicle to reach the resource equipment according to information including vehicle position information, running plan information, line speed limit, and distance from the resource equipment, in combination with the train automatic operation system. The predicted driving time can be a specific time, or a predicted driving length calculated based on the current time, which is not limited by the present disclosure. Moreover, if the predicted end length and the predicted driving length are calculated, since the communication time and the calculation time of the target vehicle and the previous vehicle are short, the difference between the current times of the two can be ignored. Alternatively, in the case of high accuracy requirements, the current times of the two can also be recorded, and the error can be eliminated by calculation, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0066] The following is an example of an embodiment in which the predicted end time sent by the previous vehicle is the predicted end length, and the predicted driving time determined by the target vehicle is the predicted driving length.

[0067] In a possible manner, adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the predicted end time, the predicted driving time and the planned stopping time of the target vehicle can be: determining a first time difference between the predicted end time and the predicted driving time, and adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the maximum value between the first time difference and the planned stopping time.

[0068] For example, a first time difference between the predicted end time and the predicted travel time is calculated. For example, the first vehicle uses the resource device 3 minutes later, and the target vehicle can travel to the resource device 2 minutes later, so the first time difference is 1 minute. For another example, the first vehicle uses the resource device 2 minutes later, and the target vehicle can travel to the resource device 3 minutes later, so the first time difference is -1 minute. In this case, the first time difference can also be set to 0 because there is no conflict. If the first time difference is 1 minute, the vehicle needs to stop for at least 1 minute relative to the current time to avoid the use conflict of the resource device. Further, the planned stop time of the vehicle (which refers to the remaining stop time of the vehicle, that is, the current countdown of the station stop time issued by the ATS) and the first time difference are compared. If the first time difference is less than or equal to the planned stop time, it indicates that the target vehicle departs after the countdown of the planned stop time ends, and there is no use conflict of the resource device with the first vehicle. Therefore, the target vehicle can count down according to the planned stop time and depart normally. If the first time difference is greater than the planned stop time, it indicates that the target vehicle departs after the countdown of the planned stop time ends, and there is a use conflict of the resource device with the first vehicle. Therefore, the target vehicle adjusts the departure time according to the first time difference, and departs after the countdown of the first time difference ends. That is, the departure time of the target vehicle is adjusted according to the maximum value between the first time difference and the planned stop time.

[0069] In a possible manner, adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the predicted end time, the predicted travel time and the planned stop time of the target vehicle can include: determining a total time of the planned stop time and the predicted travel time, and determining a second time difference between the predicted end time and the total time; and adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the second time difference and the planned stop time of the target vehicle.

[0070] For example, the total time of the planned stop time and the predicted travel time is calculated, and the second time difference between the predicted end time and the total time is calculated. For example, the first vehicle uses the resource device 3 minutes later, and the target vehicle can travel to the resource device 1 minute later, and the planned stop time of the target vehicle is 1 minute, so the total time is 2 minutes, and the second time difference is 1 minute. For another example, the first vehicle uses the resource device 2 minutes later, and the target vehicle can travel to the resource device 2 minutes later, and the planned stop time of the target vehicle is 1 minute, so the total time is 3 minutes, and the second time difference is -1 minute.

[0071] Further, in a possible manner, adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the second time difference and the planned stop time of the target vehicle can include: if the predicted end time is less than or equal to the total time, the departure time is the departure time determined according to the planned stop time, or if the predicted end time is greater than the total time, the departure time is adjusted according to the sum of the planned stop time and the second time difference.

[0072] For example, if the expected end time is less than or equal to the total time, i.e., the second time difference is 0 or negative, it indicates that the target vehicle will not conflict with the previous vehicle in using the resource device after the countdown of the planned parking time ends, so the target vehicle can count down according to the planned parking time and normally depart. If the expected end time is greater than the total time, i.e., the second time difference is positive, it indicates that the target vehicle will conflict with the previous vehicle in using the resource device after the countdown of the planned parking time ends, so the target vehicle can extend the second time difference on the basis of the planned parking time to adjust the departure time. That is, the departure time is adjusted according to the sum of the planned parking time and the second time difference.

[0073] In a possible manner, the resource device is multiple, and the first time difference between the expected end time and the expected travel time is determined by: determining, for each resource device, a difference between the expected end time and the expected travel time corresponding to the resource device, obtaining a plurality of difference values, and taking the maximum value in the plurality of difference values as the first time difference.

[0074] For example, if the resource device is multiple, the target vehicle can obtain the expected end time corresponding to each resource device, and determine the expected end time of the target vehicle traveling to each resource device, and then calculate the difference between the expected end time and the expected travel time of each resource device, to obtain a plurality of difference values. Since the target vehicle only needs to ensure that there is no conflict with the previous vehicle when using the resource device corresponding to the maximum value in the plurality of difference values, it can be ensured that there is no conflict with the previous vehicle when using other resource devices. Therefore, the maximum value in the plurality of difference values can be compared with the planned parking time as the first time difference.

[0075] Correspondingly, if the resource device is multiple, the target vehicle can determine a plurality of total times of the planned parking time and a plurality of expected travel times, and then calculate the difference between the expected end time and the total time of each resource device, to obtain a plurality of difference values, take the maximum value in the plurality of difference values as the second time difference, and finally only need to compare whether the target vehicle and the previous vehicle conflict in using the resource device corresponding to the maximum value, and in the case of conflict, adjust the departure time according to the sum of the planned parking time and the second time difference.

[0076] In a possible manner, the method further comprises: after adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the expected end time, the expected travel time and the planned parking time of the target vehicle, re-executing the steps of obtaining the expected end time of the previous vehicle using the resource device to adjusting the departure time of the target vehicle according to the expected end time, the expected travel time and the planned parking time of the target vehicle at a preset interval until the target vehicle successfully departs.

[0077] For example, due to the target vehicle, during the period from the vehicle stops to the successful departure, the preceding vehicle is affected by the sudden situation, which may cause the expected end time of the use of the resource device to change. Therefore, the expected end time of the use of the resource device by the preceding vehicle can be periodically acquired, so that when the expected end time of the use of the resource device by the preceding vehicle changes, the departure time can be timely and flexibly adjusted.

[0078] It should be noted that, since the vehicle needs to apply for the use permission of the resource device to the (Object Controller, OC) before departure, and can only depart after obtaining the use permission allocated by the OC, the on-board controller needs to determine that the station stop time countdown ends and the resource use permission allocated by the OC is received before departure.

[0079] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the method steps of the departure time adjustment method provided by the present disclosure, the following will be described in detail in conjunction with the communication process of the target vehicle and the preceding vehicle, ATS and OC.

[0080] Reference Figure 2 The current vehicle (target vehicle) runs according to the running plan provided by the ATS, and when the current vehicle stops on the platform, it searches for all trackside resources (device resources) required to arrive at the next station and sends them to the ATS. After the ATS inquires, the preceding vehicle information using the trackside resource is fed back to the current vehicle, and the current vehicle establishes communication with the corresponding preceding vehicle according to the preceding vehicle information and inquires the use end time (expected end time) of the trackside resource used by the preceding vehicle. Figure 2 In the above embodiment, two trackside resources are taken as an example, and the current vehicle sends an inquiry request to the preceding vehicle 1 corresponding to the trackside resource ID1 and the preceding vehicle 2 corresponding to the trackside resource ID2 respectively. After receiving the inquiry request, the preceding vehicle 1 and the preceding vehicle 2 calculate the use end time of the trackside resource respectively and feed it back to the current vehicle. The current vehicle calculates the departure time of the current vehicle based on the expected driving time of the current vehicle to the trackside device, the planned parking time and the use end time fed back by the preceding vehicle, so as to avoid the current vehicle being forced to stop in the running interval after departure due to the influence of the preceding vehicle, thereby stopping and waiting on the platform as much as possible in the case of conflict between the use of the resource device by the preceding vehicle and the current vehicle. And apply to the OC for the use permission of the trackside device, and after obtaining the use permission of the trackside device and the station stop time countdown ends, the current vehicle departs.
