Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rail transit technology, and in particular to a method and device for responding to emergency braking of trains for testing of fully automated operation systems. Background Technology

[0002] Fully Automatic Operation (FAO) is a fully automated, highly centralized train operation control system. It is a new generation of urban rail transit systems based on modern computer, communication, control, integrated monitoring, and system integration technologies to automate the train operation process. The FAO signaling system is an upgraded version of the current mainstream signaling system, namely the Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system. It adds several functions to CBTC, including train sleep wake-up, dynamic and static testing, and door and platform door fault isolation.

[0003] To meet the growing demand for travel efficiency, FAO (Fully Automated Operation) has become the development direction of urban rail transit technology due to its outstanding advantages of being safer, more efficient, more energy-saving, more economical, and providing higher service levels. Compared with existing rail transit systems, the fully automated operation system has significantly improved passenger transport, maintenance, and train control. Due to the increased unmanned nature of the fully automated system, the emergency response plan for emergency braking of the test train in the existing field system is no longer suitable. If the emergency braking failure occurs, the safety cannot be guaranteed due to the untimely emergency response. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the emergency response in failure scenarios. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0053] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a train emergency braking response device for testing a fully automated operating system, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0058] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system. The method includes:

[0059] Step 101: The Train Operation Automation System (TIAS) receives the reason for the train's current emergency braking from the onboard controller (VOBC).

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the onboard signal system test personnel need to record the emergency braking time and the track in which it occurred, record in detail the operations performed by the train and the passengers before the braking occurred, and record the events reported by the driver's cab vehicle onboard controller (VOBC) human-machine screen and the train control and management system (TCMS) screen after the braking occurred.

[0061] When the VOBC's human-machine interface displays an emergency braking signal, the VOBC reports the reason for the emergency braking to the central TIAS. TIAS receives the reason for the emergency braking from the VOBC. There may be multiple reasons for the train to brake suddenly. For example, Table 1 shows the fault causes that lead to emergency braking. As shown in Table 1, different fault causes have their corresponding typical fault scenarios and fault handling methods, helping onboard signal testing personnel and vehicle personnel to quickly identify and mitigate the cause.

[0062] Table 1. Causes of malfunctions leading to emergency braking of trains

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] Step 102: Automatically release the emergency braking of the train based on the reason why the train is currently applying emergency braking.

[0066] Specifically, after obtaining the reason why the train is currently applying emergency braking, the emergency braking of the train is automatically released based on the reason.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, when the VOBC meets certain conditions, the emergency braking of the train can be automatically relieved. For example, Table 2 is a table of emergency braking causes and automatic relief situations. As shown in Table 2, some emergency braking causes can be relieved by automatic relief. The VOBC determines whether automatic relief is possible after the fault cause disappears. Once the conditions for emergency braking are automatically restored, no manual or remote intervention is required to relieve the emergency braking.

[0069]

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Step 103: In the event of automatic brake release failure, the emergency brake of the train is remotely and manually released according to the emergency brake release command sent by the TIAS to the VOBC.

[0074] Specifically, in the event that the automatic emergency braking of a train fails to be released, TIAS sends an emergency braking release command to VOBC, through which the emergency braking of the train is remotely and manually released.

[0075] Optionally, remote manual mitigation includes remote fault mitigation and / or remote manual bypass fault.

[0076] In this embodiment, there are two main methods for signal testers to determine that emergency braking cannot be automatically relieved. One method is to observe the VOBC human-machine interface screen on the driver's console and see if the words "unrelieved emergency braking" or other similar meanings appear. The other method is to print the VOBCATP cabinet serial port and connect it to the vehicle recording and analysis tool to analyze the cause of emergency braking. The specific cause and whether it can be relieved can be seen in the cause of emergency braking.

[0077] In this embodiment, the equipment in the fully automatic operation system that can be automatically reset (i.e., automatically relieved) and remotely manually relieved (i.e., remotely manually reset) includes: the power supply circuit breaker for the head-end Automatic Train Operation (ATO) system and the power supply circuit breaker for the tail-end ATO system. The behavior of the head-end ATO power supply circuit breaker after power failure includes: when the train is in Full Automatic Mode (FAM), the head-end ATO loses power, the train is in an emergency, and after power is restored and the fault is cleared, it waits for confirmation from the center before departing. The behavior of the tail-end ATO power supply circuit breaker after power failure includes: when the train is in FAM mode, the tail-end ATO loses power, the control terminal detects a fault in the tail-end ATO, alarms the center, and the train runs to the terminal station, waiting for the tail-end ATO to be powered on and normal before continuing operation.

[0078] Automatically resettled and remotely manually resettled vehicle equipment includes: driver's cab activated circuit breaker, TMC car pantograph control circuit breaker, MP car pantograph control circuit breaker, high-speed circuit breaker control short circuit, air compressor start control circuit breaker, train control circuit breaker, safety circuit power supply circuit breaker, running gear main unit circuit breaker, fire alarm circuit breaker, TRU circuit breaker, ATP1 circuit breaker, VOBC main circuit breaker, ATP2 circuit breaker, AT0+BTM circuit breaker, output circuit breaker, communication storage device circuit breaker, TAU1 circuit breaker, TAU2 circuit breaker, communication vehicle-mounted station circuit breaker, door control circuit breaker, train door control circuit breaker, vehicle door closed circuit breaker, NVR circuit breaker, PIS driver's cab main unit circuit breaker, and PIS passenger compartment main unit circuit breaker, etc.

[0079] Step 104: If the emergency braking command fails to be used to release the emergency brake, the emergency brake of the train is released manually locally.

[0080] Specifically, in the event that remote manual relief fails, the emergency braking of the train is relieved locally by the driver.

[0081] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system provided in this application embodiment obtains the cause and mitigation status of the train's emergency braking in real time based on the interaction between TIAS and VOBC, and mitigates the faults that cause emergency braking from multiple dimensions, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of train emergency braking in a fully automated operating system and improving the safety of trains in a fully automated operating system.

[0082] In some embodiments, the automatic mitigation of emergency braking of the train based on the reason for the current emergency braking includes:

[0083] The reason for the train's current emergency braking was determined to be a malfunction in the resettable equipment;

[0084] When the train is in fully automatic driving mode or fully automatic creep mode, at zero speed and with the driver's cover closed, the train will perform an automatic reset.

[0085] Specifically, the system automatically releases the emergency braking of the train based on the reason for the current emergency braking. First, it determines whether the reason for the emergency braking is a fault occurring on a resolvable device. If so, automatic release / reset is deemed feasible. Then, when the train is in fully automatic driving mode or fully automatic creep mode, at zero speed, and with the driver's cover closed, the vehicle can only automatically reset once. If the reason for the emergency braking is not a fault occurring on a resolvable device, automatic release fails, and the fault is reset using either remote manual release or local manual release.

[0086] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system provided in this application embodiment obtains the cause of the train's emergency braking and the mitigation status in real time based on the interaction between TIAS and VOBC, and remotely and automatically mitigates the faults that cause the emergency braking, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of the train's emergency braking in the fully automated operating system and ensuring the safety of train operation.

[0087] In some embodiments, before remotely and manually releasing the emergency braking of the train according to the emergency braking release command sent by the TIAS to the VOBC, the method further includes:

[0088] The TIAS receives the emergency braking reason sent by the VOBC; the emergency braking reason is reported to the VOBC by the TCMS.

[0089] Specifically, when the vehicle outputs emergency braking that cannot be automatically released, i.e., the automatic release fails, the VOBC forwards the emergency braking cause reported by the TCMS to the central TIAS. Then, the TIAS generates an emergency braking release command based on the emergency braking cause and sends the emergency braking release command to the VOBC for remote manual release.

[0090] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system provided in this application embodiment obtains the cause and mitigation status of the train's emergency braking in real time based on the interaction between TIAS, VOBC, and TCMS, and remotely and manually mitigates the faults that cause the emergency braking through emergency braking mitigation commands. This achieves real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of train emergency braking in a fully automated operating system, ensuring train operation safety.

[0091] In some embodiments, the emergency braking release command includes a remote reset command; the remote manual release of the train's emergency braking according to the emergency braking release command sent by the TIAS to the VOBC includes:

[0092] When the train is in fully automatic driving mode or fully automatic creep mode, at zero speed and with the driver's cover closed, the VOBC forwards the remote reset command sent by the TIAS to the Train Network Control and Monitoring System (TCMS).

[0093] The TCMS performs a fault reset based on the remote reset command for the fault that caused the train to brake suddenly, and responds to the fault reset result.

[0094] Specifically, remote manual remission refers to the ability to remotely reset the train only when it is in FAM or fully automatic creep mode (CAM) (with normal communication between the signal system and TCMS), at zero speed, and with the driver's cover closed. This can be done through the central TIAS, where the TIAS sends a remote reset command to the VOBC, which forwards the command to the TCMS and performs a fault reset, generating and responding to the fault reset result back to the VOBC. The vehicle TCMS responds to the remote reset command only once; it will not execute multiple commands.

[0095] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system provided in this application embodiment obtains the cause and mitigation status of the train's emergency braking in real time based on the interaction between TIAS, VOBC, and TCMS, and remotely resets the fault that caused the emergency braking through a remote reset command. This achieves real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of the train's emergency braking in the fully automated operating system, ensuring train operation safety.

[0096] In some embodiments, the emergency braking relief command further includes a remote bypass command; the remote manual relief of the train's emergency braking according to the emergency braking relief command sent by the TIAS to the VOBC includes:

[0097] In the event that the fault reset result is a reset failure, the TIAS remote manual bypass causes a fault that leads to emergency braking of the train.

[0098] Specifically, if the fault reset result is a reset failure, that is, the fault that causes the train's emergency braking cannot be reset remotely, then the fault must be remotely bypassed by the central TIAS to cause the train's emergency braking.

[0099] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operating system provided in this application embodiment obtains the cause and mitigation status of the train's emergency braking in real time based on the interaction between TIAS and VOBC, and performs remote manual bypass for faults that cannot be remotely reset, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of train emergency braking in a fully automated operating system and ensuring train operation safety.

[0100] In some embodiments, where the reason for the train's current emergency braking is a fire alarm, the method further includes:

[0101] The onboard camera captures footage of the interior of the train at the location of the fire alarm and sends it to the TIAS.

[0102] Based on the in-vehicle footage from the location where the fire alarm was triggered, it was confirmed that the cause of the fire alarm was not a fire.

[0103] Specifically, for emergency braking caused by a vehicle fire alarm, the in-vehicle footage captured by the onboard camera at the location of the fire alarm is promptly sent to TIAS. If the TIAS vehicle dispatch center confirms that the cause of the fire alarm is not a fire or an emergency based on the in-vehicle footage, the TIAS vehicle dispatch center forwards the fire alarm reset to the vehicle TCMS via the onboard VOBC. The vehicle TCMS is responsible for performing the fault reset.

[0104] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operation system provided in this application embodiment acquires images of the train fire alarm location in a timely manner, accurately identifies whether the cause of the fire alarm is a fire, and performs a remote reset if not, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and timely mitigation of train emergency braking in a fully automated operation system and ensuring train operation safety.

[0105] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0106] Acquire images of the interior of the train taken by the onboard camera, and acquire images of the exterior of the train taken by the section camera corresponding to the location of the train in the section.

[0107] The train situation is analyzed using the images inside and outside the train; the train situation includes the safety status of the passengers and the braking status of the train.

[0108] The train information is broadcast to passengers via manual announcement, and a decision is made based on the train information to determine whether to continue testing the fully automated operation system.

[0109] Specifically, in this embodiment, the safety of passengers is also monitored. Passengers can view images of the interior captured by the onboard camera using the onboard CCTV. The center can manually access the onboard CCTV via TIAS to view the interior images captured by the onboard camera, such as whether there have been collisions or falls. Simultaneously, TIAS pushes images of the exterior captured by the section camera corresponding to the train's location to passengers, such as whether emergency braking has occurred. Passengers at the center can view these images via CCTV. The train situation (including interior and exterior images) is monitored via CCTV, and corresponding onboard announcements are made to passengers via manual broadcast. After an emergency braking occurs, the dispatch center is notified of the emergency braking situation and asked whether to continue the fully automated operation system test.

[0110] The train emergency braking response method for testing a fully automated operation system provided in this application improves the safety of trains in a fully automated operation system by acquiring real-time monitoring images inside and outside the train to know the safety status of passengers and the train's condition.

[0121] The second reset unit is used by the TCMS to perform a fault reset on the fault that caused the train's emergency braking according to the remote reset command, and to respond to the fault reset result.

[0122] In some embodiments, the emergency braking relief command further includes a remote bypass command; the remote manual relief module includes:

[0123] A bypass unit is used to remotely and manually bypass the fault caused by the TIAS in the event that the fault reset result is a reset failure, thus causing the train to brake urgently.

[0125] The transmitting unit is used to transmit the interior image of the train where the fire alarm is triggered, captured by the onboard camera, to the TIAS.
