[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. In the text description of the present application, the character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0062] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to train control scenarios. Taking the urban rail transit control scenario as an example, at present, the main line of the urban rail transit signal system widely uses the axle counting system as a detection and judgment device for the train occupied section. Among them, the axle counting fault occupancy refers to the situation where there is actually no train in the section used for train operation, but the axle counting system believes that there is a train in the section. Always Report Blocking (ARB) is a failure mode of the axle counting system.

[0063] If the line controller (Zone Controller, ZC) used to control the operation of trains, that is, the train control equipment, cannot efficiently and accurately identify the axle counter fault occupancy, the movement authorization of the train approaching this section will be retracted by one section, and the train running closely behind this train will be forced to slow down, thereby reducing the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0064] Among them, ZC mainly calculates and sends mobile authorization (MA) for trains within its control range based on the position information reported by the train, the route arranged by the interlocking, and the track occupancy information or idle information provided by the trackside equipment to ensure the safe operation of the trains in its control section.

[0065] For examples, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1A train control schematic diagram provided for the prior art, assuming that the train running sections include sections A, B, C, D and E. Among them, section D is the section where the axle counting equipment collects the result of being occupied. If ZC cannot efficiently and accurately identify the axle counting fault occupation, it will send a movement authorization to the train approaching section D, and the movement authorization can only go to the starting position of the previous section adjacent to section D (i.e., section C), that is, starting from the starting position of section C, the driver needs to actively downgrade the operation and control the train to run through section D based on the automatic driving strategy, which will cause the train's movement authorization to retract one section C. If the length of section C is long, it will greatly reduce the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0066] In order to improve the operational efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system, the embodiment of the present application provides a train control method, which can interact with the Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) system without adding any hardware facilities and equipment. When the ZC logic cannot determine the section permanent report blocking (ARB) state, the ARB state of the section is determined by interactive response with the ATS system, thereby controlling the train operation. The specific process includes:

[0067] ZC sends two running section status requests to the ATS system, and receives the running section status responses corresponding to each running section status request sent by the train operation supervision equipment. The running section status response is used to indicate whether there is a permanent occupation fault in the axle counting equipment; for examples, see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a ZC and ATS system communication provided in an embodiment of the present application, after receiving two consecutive running section status responses, the train is controlled to run in the to-be-identified section based on the running section status responses corresponding to the two consecutive running section status requests. In this way, the running of the train is jointly controlled in combination with the running section status responses corresponding to the two consecutive running section status requests, which can avoid the problem of low operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system caused by axle counting failure occupation to a certain extent, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0068] Among them, the ATS system is used to automatically set routes for train operations, direct train operations, and implement train operation management according to the train timetable.

[0069] It is understandable that after ZC sends the running segment status request to the ATS system, if it receives a message from the ATS system prohibiting the determination of the ARB status of the segment, it will no longer send the running segment status request to the ATS system. This application is a series of control operations performed when the ATS system allows the determination of the ARB status of the segment.

[0070] The train control method provided by the present application will be described in detail below through the following specific embodiments. It is understandable that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0071] Figure 3 The flow chart of a train control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a train control device. The train control method can be executed by software and / or hardware devices. For example, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the train control method may include:

[0072] S301. Send at least two running section status requests to a train operation supervision device, wherein the running section status request includes an identifier of a section to be identified, and the section to be identified is a section whose collection result of an axle counting device is occupied.

[0073] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the operating section status request may also include other information, such as the train information of the section before and after the section to be identified, that is, the train information of the two sections adjacent to the section to be identified, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0074] In order to accurately control the operation of trains and thus improve the operational efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system, in an embodiment of the present application, at least two operating section status requests can be sent to the train operation supervision device, and based on two consecutive operating section status responses, the train can be controlled to run in the section to be identified.

[0075] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, when at least two running section status requests are sent to a train operation supervision device, for the second running section status request, after the first running section status request is sent to the train operation supervision device and the first running section status response sent by the train operation supervision device is not received, the second running section status request can be sent to the train operation supervision device; or after the first running section status request is sent to the train operation supervision device and the first running section status response sent by the train operation supervision device is received, the second running section status request can be sent to the train operation supervision device again. Please refer to the above Figure 2 As shown, in this way, the train can be controlled to run in the section to be identified based on two consecutive running section status responses.

[0076] For the third operating section status request, or the operating section status request after the third time, the operating section status request can be sent to the train operation supervision equipment when the previous operating section status response is received, or the operating section status request can be sent to the train operation supervision equipment when two consecutive operating section status responses are inconsistent. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs.

[0077] S302. Receive an operating section status response corresponding to each operating section status request sent by the train operation supervision device, where the operating section status response is used to indicate whether the axle counting device has a permanent occupancy fault.

[0078] Wherein, whether the axle counting device has a permanent occupied fault includes whether the axle counting device has a permanent occupied fault, or it is uncertain whether the axle counting device has a permanent occupied fault. In the case where the running section status response indicates that the axle counting device has a permanent occupied fault, it means that the occupied state of the to-be-identified section is caused by the permanent occupied fault of the axle counting device, and there is actually no train in the section.

[0079] After receiving the running section status request sent by the train control device, the train operation supervision device can determine whether the section to be identified is actually occupied, and send a corresponding running section status response to the train control device, so that the train control device executes the following S303 based on the continuous running section status response:

[0080] S303. Based on the running section status responses corresponding to two consecutive running section status requests, control the train to run in the section to be identified.

[0081] The term “twice in a row” refers to operation section status responses corresponding to any two consecutive operation section status requests among at least two operation section status requests.

[0082] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, when controlling the operation of a train, at least two operating section status requests can be sent to the train operation supervision device first, the operating section status request includes the identification of the section to be identified, and the section to be identified is the section whose axle counting device collects the result of being occupied; and receives the operating section status response corresponding to each operating section status request sent by the train operation supervision device, the operating section status response is used to indicate whether there is a permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device; and then based on the operating section status response corresponding to two consecutive operating section status requests, the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified. In this way, the train operation is jointly controlled in combination with the operating section status responses corresponding to two consecutive operating section status requests, which can avoid the problem of low operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system due to occupation by axle counting faults to a certain extent, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0083] Based on the above Figure 3 In order to facilitate understanding of how to control the train to run in the to-be-identified section based on the running section status responses corresponding to two consecutive running section status requests in the above embodiment, the following will be described. Figure 4 The illustrated embodiments are described in detail.

[0084] Figure 4 A flow chart of controlling a train to run in a to-be-identified section based on an operation section status response corresponding to two consecutive operation section status requests provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method may include:

[0085] S401, determining whether two consecutive running section status responses are consistent.

[0086] For example, when two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, the following S402 can be executed; when two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, the following S403-S405 can be executed.

[0087] S402. When two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the two consecutive running section status responses.

[0088] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, based on two consecutive running section status responses, when controlling the train to run in the section to be identified, the corresponding control strategy can be determined based on the two consecutive running section status responses; wherein the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy, or the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy; and the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the control strategy.

[0089] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, when determining the corresponding control strategy based on two consecutive running section status responses, when two consecutive running section status responses are used to indicate that there is a permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, it means that the occupied state of the section to be identified is caused by the permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, and there is actually no train in the section. In this case, the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy; when two consecutive running section status responses are used to indicate that it is uncertain whether there is a permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, in order to safely pass the section to be identified, the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy.

[0090] After determining the corresponding control strategy based on two consecutive running section state responses, the train can be controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the control strategy. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, controlling the train to run in the section to be identified based on the control strategy may include at least the following two possible implementation methods:

[0091] In one possible implementation, the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy, and the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the automatic driving strategy.

[0092] If the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy, the train control device can send a movement authorization to the train to control the train to pass through the section to be identified based on the automatic driving strategy through the movement authorization. This can effectively solve the problem of the section to be identified being occupied due to an axle counting failure, resulting in the train needing to slow down to pass through the section to be identified, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the train in the section to be identified, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0093] For example, combined with the above Figure 1 In the scenario shown in FIG. 1 , if the corresponding control strategy is determined to include an automatic driving strategy based on two consecutive running section status responses, a movement authorization may be sent to the train to control the train to pass through section D based on the automatic driving strategy through the movement authorization. For example, see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of passing section D based on an automatic driving strategy is provided in an embodiment of the present application. This can effectively solve the problem that section D is occupied due to an axle counter failure, causing the train to slow down to pass sections C and D, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the train in sections C and D, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0094] In another possible implementation, the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy, and the train is controlled to operate in the section to be identified based on the automatic driving strategy and the manual driving strategy.

[0095] If the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy, the target position can be determined from the previous section of the section to be identified; wherein the distance between the target position and the starting position of the section to be identified is greater than a preset safety distance; and the train is controlled to run to the target position based on the automatic driving strategy, and to run from the target position through the section to be identified based on the manual driving strategy.

[0096] Among them, the value of the preset safety distance can be set according to actual needs. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific value of the preset safety distance is not further restricted in the embodiment of the present application.

[0097] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, when the control strategy includes an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy, it indicates that it is uncertain whether the axle counting device has a permanent occupancy fault. In order to allow the train to safely pass through the section to be identified, the train is controlled to decelerate in advance before the train runs to the section to be identified. However, unlike the prior art, the train is no longer controlled to decelerate at the starting position of the previous time period, but it is sufficient as long as there is a safe distance between the starting position of the section to be identified. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the target position and the starting position of the section to be identified is less than the distance between the starting position of the previous section of the section to be identified and the starting position of the section to be identified. In this way, the automatic driving time of the train can be controlled to be extended, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the train.

[0098] For example, combined with the above Figure 1 In the scenario shown, if the corresponding control strategy is determined to include the automatic driving strategy and the manual driving strategy based on two consecutive running section status responses, a movement authorization can be sent to the train to control the train to pass the target position of section C based on the automatic driving strategy through the movement authorization, and to run from the target position of section C based on the manual driving strategy through section D. For an example, see Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of passing section D based on an automatic driving strategy and a manual driving strategy is provided in an embodiment of the present application. This can effectively solve the problem that section D is occupied due to an axle counter failure, causing the train to slow down to pass section C, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the train in section C, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0099] Combined with the relevant description in S402 above, when two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, the train operation can be controlled directly based on the two consecutive running section status responses. This can avoid the problem of low operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system due to axle counting failure to a certain extent, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.

[0100] It can be understood that when two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, there is no need to send the running section status request to the train operation supervision device again, but the train operation is directly controlled based on the two consecutive running section status responses.

[0101] On the contrary, when two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, it is necessary to send the running section status request to the train operation supervision device again, that is, execute the following S403-S405:

[0102] S403. When two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, determine whether the latter running section status response and the next running section status response of the latter running section status response are consistent; when the latter running section status response is inconsistent with the next running section status response, repeat the above operation until the two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, or the duration between the current time and the first sending time of the running section status request reaches a preset duration.

[0103] The value of the preset duration can be set according to actual needs. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the value of the preset duration can be 2 seconds, or 3 seconds, etc., which can be set according to actual needs.

[0104] In the case that two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, assuming that the first running section status response is that there is a permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, and the second running section status response is that there is no permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, and the preset duration is 2 seconds, taking the case that two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, and sending an running section status request to the train operation supervision device again as an example, the train control device can send an running section status request to the train operation supervision device for the third time, and receive the third running section status response sent by the train operation supervision device.

[0105] If the third running section status response is that there is no permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, which is the same as the second running section status response, then the sending of the running section status request to the train operation supervision device can be stopped, and based on the running section status response that there is no permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified; on the contrary, if the third running section status response is that there is a permanent occupancy fault in the axle counting device, which is different from the second running section status response, the above operation is repeated until the next running section status response is consistent with the previous running section status response, or the time between the current time and the first sending time of the running section status request reaches 2 seconds, then the sending of the running section status request to the train operation supervision device is stopped.

[0106] S404. When two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the two consecutive running section status responses.

[0107] It should be noted that in S404, the specific implementation of controlling the train to run in the section to be identified based on two consecutive running section status responses is similar to the specific implementation of controlling the train to run in the section to be identified based on two consecutive running section status responses in the above S402. For details, please refer to the relevant description in the above S402, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0108] S405. When the preset time is reached, the train is controlled to run to the starting position of the previous section of the section to be identified based on the automatic driving strategy, and runs from the starting position through the section to be identified based on the manual driving strategy.

[0109] For example, combined with the above Figure 1 In the scenario shown, a movement authorization can be sent to the train to control the train to run to the starting position of section C based on the automatic driving strategy through the movement authorization, and to control the train to pass through the starting position of section C based on the automatic driving strategy through the movement authorization, and then run from the starting position of section C through section D based on the manual driving strategy.

[0110] Combined with the relevant descriptions in S403-S405 above, when two consecutive running section status responses are inconsistent, it can be determined whether the latter running section status response and the next running section status response of the latter running section status response are consistent; when the latter running section status response is inconsistent with the next running section status response, the above operations are repeated until the two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, or the time length between the current moment and the first sending moment of the running section status request reaches the preset time length. When the two consecutive running section status responses are consistent, the train is controlled to run in the section to be identified based on the two consecutive running section status responses. This can avoid the problem of low operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system due to axle counting failure to a certain extent, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire urban rail transit signal system.
