Description

[0002] In the existing FAO system, train operation relies on the mobile authorization sent by the ground system (area controller) through vehicle-to-ground communication. The mobile authorization is updated every cycle to ensure the safe operation of the train. In this technical solution, if a communication interruption occurs, since there is no other technical means to obtain the mobile authorization, the on-board system can only use emergency braking to stop the train based on the fail-safe principle to ensure driving safety. However, urban rail lines with long sections have problems such as rescue difficulties (such as the Beijing New Airport Line). If the train stops due to a communication interruption in the section, the faulty train may stay in the section for a long time, which will seriously disrupt the operation order of the line, affect passengers' travel plans, and cause serious operational risks.

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] In the relevant technical solutions, when the train-ground communication is interrupted and a fault occurs, the driver needs to cooperate with the dispatcher to manually drive the train to keep it running. This method has problems such as high labor intensity and relatively high safety risks. In addition, if the current FAO system is at GoA4 level (no driver on duty), it will be difficult for the driver to reach the faulty train, which will greatly delay the fault recovery time.

[0049] In this regard, in order to overcome this technical defect, the present embodiment provides a fully automatic operation (FAO) system, which implements a city rail FAO autonomous operation method under a vehicle-mounted communication module failure through the cooperation of the on-board subsystem and the ground subsystem in the FAO system. The train autonomously senses the obstacles ahead to calculate the movement authorization, calculates the speed limit by sensing the environmental information, and then calculates the safety protection speed (i.e., the emergency braking speed). At the same time, it cooperates with the intelligent dispatching unit to ensure that the city rail FAO train safely drives to a preset safe position.

[0050] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 2 , the specific implementation process of the urban rail FAO autonomous operation method under the failure of the on-board communication module is explained in detail.

[0051] The fully automatic operation (FAO) system provided in this embodiment is composed of a vehicle-mounted subsystem and a ground subsystem.

[0052] The ground subsystem includes ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), interlocking module and ZC (Zone Controller). ATS is responsible for issuing route commands according to the operation plan, and the intelligent dispatching unit in ATS is responsible for automatically adjusting the operation diagram in real time according to the line conditions; the interlocking module selects the route after receiving the route command to ensure the route safety; ZC is responsible for calculating MA and sending it to the vehicle under normal circumstances of the on-board communication module.

[0053] The on-board subsystem includes ATO (Automatic Train Operation), ATP (Automatic Train Protection), autonomous perception module, on-board communication module and other on-board equipment. Among them, ATO is responsible for controlling the operation of the train based on mobile authorization; ATP is responsible for ensuring the driving safety of the train; the autonomous perception module is responsible for autonomously sensing obstacles in front of the train and the surrounding environment of the train; the on-board communication module is responsible for establishing the communication connection between the on-board subsystem and the ground subsystem.

[0054] When a FAO train has a communication failure (i.e., the onboard communication module fails), the train cannot receive movement authorization from the ZC. On this basis, this embodiment enables the faulty train to continue to run safely to a preset safe position through the cooperation of the onboard subsystem and the ground subsystem. The processing process of the onboard subsystem and the processing process of the ground subsystem are as follows.

[0055] (1) On-board subsystem processing solution for on-board communication module failure:

[0056] The onboard subsystem is responsible for ensuring the safe movement of the train, such as Figure 1 As shown, the working principle is as follows:

[0057] Step 1: Autonomously calculate the clearing location.

[0058] After a train communication module fails, the passengers on the train should be evacuated as soon as possible. Therefore, the train starts from the fault location p0. The on-board equipment searches forward for the nearest station on the line according to the line topology stored in the electronic map, and the train autonomously determines the clearing location p1. To ensure that the clearing location determined by the train and the intelligent dispatching unit is consistent, the calculation method is consistent with the method used by the ground subsystem to calculate the clearing location (ground subsystem step 1).

[0059] Step 2: Autonomously calculate offline position.

[0060] After the train breaks down and the passengers are evacuated, the train needs to continue to autonomously drive to the offline position to wait for maintenance. Therefore, the train starts from the passenger clearance position. The on-board equipment searches forward for the nearest station siding, storage line, and maintenance line on the line according to the line topology stored in the electronic map as the offline position p2. There is a possibility that the offline position and the passenger clearance position are the same. To ensure that the offline position determined by the train and the intelligent dispatching unit is consistent, the calculation method is consistent with the method used by the ground subsystem to calculate the offline position (ground subsystem step 2).

[0061] Step 3: Self-search route.

[0062] The faulty train determines the starting and ending positions of the route by looking up the route table according to the fault location p0, the clearing location p1, and the offline location p2, and connects the routes in series to form a driving path that sequentially covers the train fault location p0, the clearing location p1, and the offline location p2, thereby obtaining the relevant route list R for the train to travel from the fault location to the target location. The method is consistent with the autonomous route query method of the ground subsystem (ground subsystem step 3).

[0063] Step 4: Autonomously sense obstacles ahead.

[0064] The autonomous perception module collects images of the front of the train and the surrounding environment through the on-board camera, and uses the image recognition algorithm to identify the obstacle information in the image. The obstacles to be identified include the front train, personnel, animals, construction and maintenance equipment, turnouts, etc. The image recognition algorithm can use an image recognition algorithm based on deep learning, such as YOLO, etc. Look up the relevant route list R to judge the correct position of the identified turnout (if any), and compare it with the position of the identified turnout:

[0065] (1) If the turnout is in the correct position, it is not considered an obstacle;

[0066] (2) If the turnout is not in the correct position, it will be considered as an obstacle.

[0067] The safe distance (actual measured distance plus safety margin) x1, x2, ..., xn of each obstacle from the train is calculated based on the image. The algorithm for calculating the distance between the obstacle and the train (i.e., the safe distance between the obstacle and the train) can adopt a visual distance measurement algorithm.

[0068] Step 5: Autonomously calculate MA based on all obstacle distances.

[0069] MA length x MA The calculation formula is:

[0070] x MA =min(x1,x2,...,x n ,x M , xT ), where x1,x2,...,x n is the distance between each obstacle and the train, x M is the maximum sensing distance, i.e., the maximum distance at which the images of the front and surrounding environment of the faulty train can be collected, x T The distance from the current train position to the next stop (passenger clearing position or off-line position). Find the distance x from the current train position forward according to the relevant route list R. MA The logical segment sequence L contained in the distance range.

[0071] Step 6: ATP calculates the emergency braking speed.

[0072] Using the safety braking model specified in IEEE Standard 1474.1, combined with MA and the speed limit value V within MA low Calculate the current emergency braking speed v of the train ebi . V low V is the maximum speed limit of the train when it is running autonomously. To ensure the safety of the train, low This is a value preset in the train control system and should be smaller than the speed limit of all lines.

[0073] Step 7: ATO controls the train to run autonomously to the offline position.

[0074] ATO recommended speed v r The calculation method is v r =v ebi -Δv, where Δv is the speed margin, and its value is set according to the speed control deviation. ATO controls the train speed according to the recommended speed, and the control method can be PID control or MPC control.

[0075] (2) Solution for ground subsystem when vehicle communication module fails:

[0076] The ground subsystem is responsible for arranging the train route after the train communication module fails to prevent the subsequent train from colliding with the faulty train. On this basis, the intelligent dispatching unit is used to dispatch and manage the trains on the entire line, automatically intervene in the train operation plan, minimize train delays, and ensure the normal travel of passengers. Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the ground subsystem is as follows:

[0077] Step 1: The intelligent dispatching unit autonomously calculates the clearing location.

[0078] ATS uses the last received safe position of the train as the fault position p0. The intelligent dispatching unit searches forward for the nearest station on the line as the clearing position p1 based on the fault position of the faulty train and the line topology. To ensure that the clearing position determined by the intelligent dispatching unit is consistent with that determined by the train, the calculation method is consistent with the method used by the onboard subsystem to calculate the clearing position (onboard subsystem step 1).

[0079] Step 2: The intelligent scheduling unit autonomously calculates the offline position.

[0080] The intelligent dispatching unit starts from the clearing position and searches forward according to the line topology to find the nearest station siding, storage line, and maintenance line on the line as the train disembarkation position p2. There is a possibility that the disembarkation position and the clearing position are the same. To ensure that the disembarkation position determined by the intelligent dispatching unit is consistent with that determined by the train, the calculation method is consistent with the method used by the on-board subsystem to calculate the disembarkation position (on-board subsystem step 2).

[0081] Step 3: ATS queries the route.

[0082] ATS queries the route based on the fault location p0, the clearing location p1, and the offline location p2 to obtain the relevant route R. The method is consistent with the method of autonomous route query by the on-board subsystem (on-board subsystem step 3).

[0083] Step 4: ATS sends an approach command to the interlocking module.

[0084] ATS sends route commands to the interlocking module in sequence according to the relevant route list R, and the route command is the route number.

[0085] Before sending the route command, ATS can pre-arrange the route to determine whether the route can be arranged. If so, it will send the route command to the interlocking; if not, it will wait until the route can be arranged before sending the route command to the interlocking.

[0086] Step 5: The interlocking module selects the route according to the route command.

[0087] The interlocking module determines the status of the trackside equipment involved in the route range (trackside equipment includes track sections and switches) according to the route command, and locks the switches in the correct position. When the status of the trackside equipment meets the interlocking conditions, it reports to the ATS that the route is open.

[0088] Step 6: ATS sets the "fault occupied" state.

[0089] ATS relies on trackside equipment (track circuits and axle counting equipment) to determine the real-time location of the faulty train and sets the section where the faulty train is located to the "fault occupied" state. At this time, the movement authorization of the subsequent train cannot enter the section where the faulty train is located, thereby avoiding conflicts between the subsequent train and the faulty train and ensuring the safety of train operation.

[0090] Step 7: The intelligent dispatching unit dynamically adjusts the timetable (i.e. optimizes the train operation diagram for the entire line).

[0091] After the faulty train starts running autonomously at a low speed, the intelligent dispatching unit calculates the real-time running speed of the train according to the real-time position of the train, and autonomously determines the running time t of the faulty train to the next stopping point (passenger clearance position or offline position). The train operation diagram adjustment model of the entire line is dynamically optimized according to t to obtain the optimized train operation diagram of the entire line, which is then distributed to all trains on the entire line. The optimization goal is to minimize the train delay time.

[0092] According to the actual operation status of the faulty train, the intelligent dispatching unit can take measures including detaining the train, skipping the train, and limiting the speed.

[0093] The operation graph optimization algorithm can use particle swarm optimization algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm, linear programming, mixed integer programming, etc.

[0094] Taking mixed integer programming as an example, assuming that the running time between stations is known ij represents the running time of the train between station i and station j, T i is the actual time when the train is scheduled to arrive at the i-th station, which can be regarded as a continuous variable here, representing the exact arrival time. i is the actual delay time of the train at the i-th station, which is a non-negative integer variable, and only integer minutes of delay are considered. i is the actual stay time of the train at the i-th station (may be a continuous variable), including the planned stop time, possible delay time and additional waiting time.

[0095] The objective function of the full-line train operation diagram adjustment model is formula (1), where L represents the objective function, formulas (2) to (4) are constraint condition sets, formula (2) is the train travel time constraint, formula (3) is the delay and stay time relationship constraint, and formula (4) is the waiting time and delay time relationship constraint.

[0096]

[0097] T j ≥T i +t ij +W i (2)

[0098] D i ≥T i -T i-1 -t i-1,j (3)

[0099] W i ≥D i (4)

[0100] The above model is solved using a special mixed integer programming solver to obtain the train timetable.

[0101] Step 8: ATS releases the fault occupation.

[0102] After the faulty train reaches the offline position, the fault occupancy set by the ATS should be released after confirmation by the dispatcher.

[0103] Step 9: Resume normal operations.

[0104] After the faulty train is off the line, the intelligent dispatching unit adjusts the driving plan according to the number of stranded passengers. If there are too many stranded passengers, the train frequency will be increased to restore normal operation as soon as possible. For delays that have occurred, the departure time of subsequent trains will be readjusted to reduce the impact on the entire transportation network.

[0105] This embodiment realizes safe operation without driver intervention through the coordinated control of the intelligent dispatching unit and the train autonomous driving module. When the on-board communication module fails, the intelligent dispatching unit predicts the destination of the faulty train based on the fault location and the preset fault-operation strategy, and adjusts the operation plan based on the real-time passenger flow, the location of the faulty train (collected by trackside equipment) and the status of the subsequent train to minimize the impact of the train communication module failure; in this process, the intelligent dispatching unit ensures the safety of the faulty train's route through interlocking.

[0106] The faulty train autonomously determines the destination of the trip based on the location of the fault, and obtains information such as the location of obstacles ahead (front vehicle, switches, etc.) and the driving environment through the autonomous perception module. It autonomously calculates the movement authorization based on the perception results, and calculates the safety protection speed (EBI) based on the movement authorization, electronic map, and speed limit under fault-operation. ATO controls the autonomous operation of the train based on the EBI and the destination plan.

[0107] The autonomous operation method of the urban rail FAO train proposed in this embodiment can ensure that the FAO train can continue to operate when a communication failure occurs, avoiding affecting other normal trains on the track, reducing operational risks, and improving risk resistance. At the same time, since the train can autonomously operate to a safe passenger clearance position, the safety of passengers on the faulty train is guaranteed, and the train rescue speed is improved.

[0108] The advantage of this embodiment comes from the addition of an autonomous sensing module to the on-board equipment. The autonomous sensing module can enable the train to autonomously detect obstacles ahead and autonomously calculate movement authorization, thereby enabling the train to continue to operate autonomously in the event of a communication failure.

[0109] The present application also provides an application scenario, which applies the above-mentioned urban rail FAO autonomous operation method under the on-board communication module failure. Specifically: The urban rail FAO autonomous operation method under the on-board communication module failure provided in this embodiment can be applied to the scenario of ensuring the stability of train operation during peak hours. The scenario includes a fault detection link, a fault isolation link and an emergency response link. The urban rail FAO autonomous operation method under the on-board communication module failure provided in this embodiment is a key measure in the fault isolation link.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting this application.
