Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of railway train operation safety, and in particular to a railway train operation safety monitoring auxiliary system and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Railway trains are a kind of mass transportation, with a large number of passengers riding every day. Ensuring the safe operation of railway trains can reduce the risk of accidents and protect the life and health of passengers. Passenger safety is the top priority of railway transportation. Railway trains not only transport passengers, but also carry a large amount of goods and property. If the operation of railway trains is unsafe, it is easy to cause the loss, damage or loss of goods, causing economic losses to enterprises and individuals. By ensuring the safe operation of railway trains, the safety of goods and property can be protected and the stable development of social economy can be maintained. Railway transportation is one of the important public transportation systems in modern society. If the operation of railway trains is unsafe, it will cause train delays, suspension of service or accidents, affecting passengers' travel arrangements and the normal operation of public transportation systems. Ensuring the safe operation of railway trains can improve the reliability of public transportation systems and facilitate passengers' travel. The safe operation of railway trains is also closely related to environmental protection. If railway trains have accidents or unsafe operation, it may cause environmental pollution accidents such as fuel leakage and fire, causing damage to the surrounding natural environment and ecosystem. By ensuring the safe operation of railway trains, the risk of environmental pollution and ecological damage can be reduced and our environment can be protected.

[0003] The train receiving and dispatching operations of train services mainly rely on people's vision and hearing to collect various information such as equipment status, locomotive and vehicle dynamics, and operation progress, combined with professional knowledge such as the operation process, and determine each step of operation through brain thinking. Personal psychological quality, professional level, reaction ability, and work attitude have a great impact on the operation results. The present invention uses machine vision technology to export real-time data of various signals on the TDCS display screen, combined with the train operation technical information database, and through the compiled monitoring program to perform logical analysis and programmatic monitoring of the operation process, timely discover erroneous operations and alarm warnings, effectively reducing accidents caused by human operational errors.
