Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation and safety, specifically to a method for realizing train track inspection and hot standby conditions. 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] Train operating conditions are a crucial function of fully automated operation scenarios. Different train operating conditions enable trains to operate in various modes under different conditions, thus meeting the diverse and complex scenarios of fully automated operation. Existing fully automated systems typically only offer conventional train operating conditions such as entering mainline service, exiting mainline service, depot operation, cleaning, and maintenance. However, with the increasing demands from operators for more functional scenarios in fully automated train operation, operational needs have emerged, such as the need for a separate track inspection train mode during track inspections or a separate hot standby mode when trains are stored. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address and adapt to the train operation conditions of fully automated operation systems in track inspection and hot standby scenarios. A method for implementing train track inspection and hot standby conditions is proposed, which can realize both track inspection and hot standby train operation modes. By presetting the train operation mode, the automatic switching of train operation conditions is achieved, thereby solving the aforementioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for implementing train track inspection and hot standby conditions includes:

[0007] Track inspection status: This is achieved by manually or automatically sending data to the ATS dispatch workstation.

[0008] Hot standby mode: This is achieved by manually issuing the command to the ATS dispatch workstation.

[0009] Furthermore, the track inspection condition is that the train starts track inspection operations at a fixed speed, and turns on the train air conditioning and emergency lighting.

[0010] Furthermore, the hot standby condition refers to the train stopping after reaching the parking area, and the train's air conditioning and all lighting being turned on.

[0011] Furthermore, the track inspection / hot standby status issued to the ATS dispatching workstation is sent to the onboard VOBC via the ATS dispatching workstation, and the instructions are forwarded to the vehicle TCMS via the onboard VOBC, which then puts the train into track inspection or hot standby status.

[0012] Furthermore, the onboard VOBC will also report to the ATS dispatch workstation whether the road inspection / hot standby status has been executed.

[0013] Furthermore, track inspection status is manually issued, including:

[0014] Right-click the train number window in the ATS dispatch workstation, set / cancel train status, and then select the train status to be issued / canceled;

[0015] In the ATS dispatch workstation, click the top-level menu of dispatch or field dispatch to set train operating conditions in batches.

[0016] After the track inspection conditions are manually set, the train automatically begins to implement a temporary speed limit for each vehicle at a fixed speed, and forwards the instruction to the vehicle's TCMS to enter the track inspection condition, turning on the air conditioning and emergency lighting; the train continues to operate in the track inspection condition until the train dispatcher manually cancels the manually issued track inspection condition.

[0017] Furthermore, by automatically disseminating track inspection status, including:

[0018] When creating a train timetable, the timetable editor can assign a track inspection attribute to a track inspection vehicle or other train in the timetable editing workstation. When the train is running according to the timetable, the ATS dispatching workstation can automatically issue a track inspection command to the train by recognizing the track inspection attribute of the train in the timetable. After receiving the track inspection command, the train will automatically start a temporary speed-limited single-car operation at a fixed speed and forward the command to the vehicle TCMS to enter the track inspection mode, turn on the air conditioning and emergency lighting.

[0019] Furthermore, the automatic distribution of track inspection status also includes:

[0020] The ATS dispatching workstation automatically issues mainline service status to the train by judging the terminal station information of the track inspection plan, thereby enabling the train to exit the track inspection status and prepare to be put into mainline operation service.

[0021] Furthermore, through artificial heating and standby conditions, including:

[0022] The hot standby mode can only be manually issued by the train dispatcher. When the train is running to the parking area, the hot standby mode can be issued remotely through the center. After receiving the hot standby mode instruction, the train turns off the lights and turns on the air conditioning. When there is a need to put it into operation, the on-board VOBC will automatically exit the hot standby mode and switch to the main line service or in-yard operation mode by judging that the train is not at zero speed.

[0023] Furthermore, the parking area is a parking line, a waiting line, or other areas where parking is required.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0025] A method for implementing train track inspection and hot standby modes is proposed to adapt to the increasing operational needs of fully automated operating systems. The track inspection mode ensures that the fully automated operating system receives operational information during train inspections and automatically implements temporary speed limits for individual trains, improving the track inspection scenario for the fully automated system and reducing the operational difficulty for train dispatchers. The hot standby mode addresses the operational requirements of the fully automated operating system in hot standby scenarios. While considering energy consumption, the train's air conditioning is turned on in real time to ensure a comfortable temperature in the carriages, allowing it to be put into passenger service at any time and enhancing the passenger travel experience.

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.

[0028] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Train operating conditions are a crucial function of fully automated operation scenarios. Different train operating conditions enable trains to operate in various modes under different conditions, thus meeting the diverse and complex scenarios of fully automated operation. Existing fully automated systems typically only offer conventional train operating conditions such as entering mainline service, exiting mainline service, depot operation, cleaning, and maintenance. However, with the increasing demands from operators for more functional scenarios in fully automated train operation, operational needs have emerged, such as the need for a separate track inspection train mode during track inspections or a separate hot standby mode when trains are stored.

[0031] To address and accommodate the train operation conditions of the fully automated operation system in track inspection and hot standby scenarios, two train operation modes—track inspection and hot standby—are proposed. By presetting these modes, the train's operation conditions can be automatically switched.

[0032] Specifically, the implementation scheme for track inspection is as follows:

[0033] 1. Manual distribution

[0034] Manual issuance of track inspection operation procedures:

[0035] Right-click the train number window in the ATS dispatch workstation, set / cancel train status, and then select the train status to be issued / canceled;

[0036] In the ATS dispatch workstation, click the top-level menu of dispatch or field dispatch to set train operating conditions in batches.

[0037] After the track inspection conditions are manually set, the train automatically begins a temporary speed limit of 40 km / h (the system's default configuration can be changed) and forwards the instruction to the vehicle's TCMS to enter track inspection mode, turning on the air conditioning and emergency lighting. The train continues to operate in track inspection mode until the train dispatcher manually cancels the manually issued track inspection conditions.

[0038] 2. Automatic distribution

[0039] Automatic distribution of runtime diagrams via ATS:

[0040] When creating train timetables, timetable editors can assign track inspection attributes to track inspection vehicles or other trains requiring such inspections in the timetable editing workstation. During train operation according to the timetable, the ATS (Automatic Train Protection System) can automatically issue track inspection commands to the train by recognizing the track inspection attributes of the trains in the timetable. Upon receiving the track inspection command, the train automatically begins temporary single-car speed-limited operation at 40 km / h (the system's default configuration can be changed), and forwards the command to the vehicle's TCMS (Train Control System) to enter track inspection mode, activating air conditioning and emergency lighting. The ATS, by determining the destination station information of the track inspection plan, automatically issues mainline service commands to the train, thus removing it from track inspection mode and preparing it for mainline operation.

[0041] Specifically, the implementation scheme for hot standby mode is as follows:

[0042] Manual heating standby operation method:

[0043] The hot standby mode can only be manually issued by the train dispatcher. When a train is running to a storage line, waiting line, or other parking area that requires parking, the hot standby mode can be remotely issued through the central control. After receiving the hot standby mode instruction, the train turns off the lights and turns on the air conditioning. When there is a need to put the train into operation, the VOBC automatically exits the hot standby mode and switches to mainline service or depot operation mode by judging that the train is not at zero speed.

[0044] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment proposes a method for implementing train track inspection and hot standby conditions, which specifically includes the following:

[0045] A method for implementing train track inspection and hot standby conditions includes:

[0046] Track inspection status: This is achieved by manually or automatically sending data to the ATS dispatch workstation.

[0047] Hot standby mode: This is achieved by manually issuing the command to the ATS dispatch workstation.

[0048] In this embodiment, specifically, the track inspection condition is that the train starts track inspection at a fixed speed, and turns on the train air conditioning and emergency lighting.

[0049] In this embodiment, specifically, the hot standby condition is that the train stops after reaching the parking area, and the train's air conditioning and all lights are turned on.

[0050] In this embodiment, specifically, the track inspection / hot standby status issued to the ATS dispatch workstation is sent to the onboard VOBC through the ATS dispatch workstation, and the onboard VOBC forwards the instruction to the vehicle TCMS, so that the train enters the track inspection status or hot standby status.

[0051] In this embodiment, specifically, the vehicle-mounted VOBC will also report to the ATS dispatch workstation whether the road inspection / hot standby status has been executed.

[0052] In this embodiment, specifically, the track inspection status is issued manually, including:

[0053] Right-click the train number window in the ATS dispatch workstation, set / cancel train status, and then select the train status to be issued / canceled;

[0054] In the ATS dispatch workstation, click the top-level menu of dispatch or field dispatch to set train operating conditions in batches.

[0055] After the track inspection conditions are manually set, the train automatically begins to implement a temporary speed limit for each vehicle at a fixed speed, and forwards the instruction to the vehicle's TCMS to enter the track inspection condition, turning on the air conditioning and emergency lighting; the train continues to operate in the track inspection condition until the train dispatcher manually cancels the manually issued track inspection condition.

[0056] In this embodiment, specifically, the automatic distribution of track inspection conditions includes:

[0057] When creating a train timetable, the timetable editor can assign a track inspection attribute to a track inspection vehicle or other train in the timetable editing workstation. When the train is running according to the timetable, the ATS dispatching workstation can automatically issue a track inspection command to the train by recognizing the track inspection attribute of the train in the timetable. After receiving the track inspection command, the train will automatically start a temporary speed-limited single-car operation at a fixed speed and forward the command to the vehicle TCMS to enter the track inspection mode, turn on the air conditioning and emergency lighting.

[0058] In this embodiment, specifically, the automatic distribution of track inspection conditions also includes:

[0059] The ATS dispatching workstation automatically issues mainline service status to the train by judging the terminal station information of the track inspection plan, thereby enabling the train to exit the track inspection status and prepare to be put into mainline operation service.

[0060] In this embodiment, specifically, the heating standby condition is manually set, including:

[0061] The hot standby mode can only be manually issued by the train dispatcher. When the train is running to the parking area, the hot standby mode can be issued remotely through the center. After receiving the hot standby mode instruction, the train turns off the lights and turns on the air conditioning. When there is a need to put it into operation, the on-board VOBC will automatically exit the hot standby mode and switch to the main line service or in-yard operation mode by judging that the train is not at zero speed.

[0062] In this embodiment, specifically, the parking area is a parking line, a waiting line, or other areas where parking is required.
