[0023] When a train just establishes a communication connection with RBC, RBC needs to determine whether there is a hidden train ahead or behind it. Only when there is no hidden train ahead can RBC calculate movement authorization for the train. The process of RBC determining whether there is a hidden train ahead or behind the train is the process of head screening / tail screening.

[0024] RBC's head screening / tail screening of trains needs to be completed based on the position report sent by the train and the track section occupancy. Generally speaking, the train will send the train's maximum safe front end, minimum safe front end, maximum safe rear end and minimum safe rear end to RBC based on the running distance, speed and distance measurement errors, and balise installation deviations.

[0025] The principle of train screening is to determine whether there is a hidden car at the head or tail as early as possible under the premise of ensuring safety. In order to achieve the above purpose, this application is based on the minimum safe front end and maximum safe rear end in the position report sent by the train, combined with the train speed and vehicle braking performance, to perform train head screening / tail screening, and to improve the screening efficiency as much as possible under the premise of ensuring driving safety.

[0026] Figure 1 A flow chart of a train dynamic screening method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, which is applied to a radio block center, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 100: Acquire first position information reported by a train; the first position information includes a first maximum safe rear end position and a first minimum safe front end position of the train; Step 101: determining a second maximum safe rear end position and a second minimum safe front end position of the train according to a transmission delay of the first position information; Step 102: Screening the head of the train according to the distance between the second minimum safe front position of the train and the first track section adjacent to the head of the train, the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the occupation status of the first track section; Step 103: Screening the tail of the train according to the distance between the second maximum safe rear end position of the train and the second track section adjacent to the tail of the train, the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the occupancy status of the second track section.

[0027] The train dynamic screening method applied to the wireless block center provided in this embodiment is used to screen the head and tail of the train. Compared with the direct use of the minimum safe front end and the fixed minimum train length for head screening in the related art, the process of determining whether there is a hidden car can be completed more quickly and accurately. In this way, the wireless block center can complete the head and tail screening of the train as efficiently as possible while ensuring the driving safety, so as to calculate the movement authority (MA) for the train as soon as possible, so that the train can enter the full mode and run at high speed.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the second maximum safe rear end position and the second minimum safe front end position of the train according to the transmission delay of the first position information includes: Calculate the minimum distance that the train advances during the transmission delay period of the first position information according to the speed of the train when the first position information reported by the train is obtained and the maximum braking deceleration of the train; The second maximum safe rear end position and the second minimum safe front end position are obtained by increasing the first maximum safe rear end position and the first minimum safe front end position by the minimum distance respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the first maximum safe rear end position of the train and the second track section is S1, and the distance between the first minimum safe front end position of the train and the second track section is S4. The minimum distance that the train advances during the transmission delay of the first position information is St. The distance between the second minimum safe front end position of the train and the first track section is S3.

[0030] Since there is a certain communication cycle and message delay between RBC and train, RBC cannot obtain the train position in real time. After RBC receives the train position report, the transmission delay time t of the first position information has passed; after the time t when RBC receives the train position report, before receiving the new train position report, the train has moved forward S t distance.

[0031] In order to ensure the safety of the train as much as possible, S t When the train is braking and decelerating at the maximum train braking deceleration at the speed when the first position information is reported, S t Minimum.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, if there is no slope in the line or the overall slope is small, the maximum braking deceleration a of the train is the maximum braking deceleration of the train in non-rainy and snowy weather; if there is a slope in the line, the braking deceleration of the train is corrected according to the slope and length of the ramp, and the braking deceleration model is used to perform piecewise fitting on the train deceleration and calculate the result.

[0033] In this embodiment, the influence of the line slope on the screening logic is fully taken into consideration, and the accuracy and efficiency of the screening are further improved while ensuring the safety of train screening.

[0034] In actual engineering projects, if there is no slope in the line or the overall slope is small, the maximum braking deceleration a of the train is the maximum braking deceleration of the train in non-rainy and snowy weather, and this parameter is provided by the vehicle factory. If there is a slope in the line, the braking deceleration of the train needs to be corrected according to the slope and length of the ramp, and the braking deceleration model is used to perform segmented fitting on the train deceleration and calculate it. The braking deceleration model can adopt a more mature model used in the industry, and this application does not limit the use of which braking deceleration model.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the minimum distance that the train travels during the transmission delay period of the first position information is calculated according to the following formula: Among them, S t is the minimum distance; v is the speed of the train when the first position information reported by the train is obtained; t is the transmission delay of the first position information; a is the maximum braking deceleration of the train.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the second minimum safe front position of the train and the first track section adjacent to the head of the train is calculated according to the following formula: Among them, S3 is the distance between the second minimum safe front position and the first track section; L is the length of the track section where the train is currently located; S4 is the distance between the first minimum safe front position and the second track section.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the second maximum safe rear end position of the train and the second track section adjacent to the rear of the train is calculated according to the following formula: Among them, S6 is the distance between the second maximum safe rear end position and the second track section; S1 is the distance between the first maximum safe rear end position and the second track section.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, screening the head of the train according to the distance between the second minimum safe front position of the train and the first track section adjacent to the head of the train, the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the occupation status of the first track section includes: If the distance between the second minimum safe front position of the train and the first track section is less than the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the first track section is in an idle state within the delay time of the occupancy status of the first track section obtained by the wireless block center from the interlocking system, it is determined that there is no hidden train in front of the train, and the head screening of the train is completed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the delay time of RBC obtaining track section occupancy status information from the interlocking system is fully considered. Only when the first track section is in an idle state within the delay time from the time when the radio block center sends a request to the interlocking system to obtain the occupancy status of the first track section to the time when the interlocking system responds, can it be determined that there is no hidden train in front of the train, which can further improve the accuracy of train head screening. Among them, the delay time of the occupancy status of the first track section is the time interval from the actual occupancy of the first track section to the identification of the occupancy status.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, screening the tail of the train according to the distance between the second maximum safe rear end position of the train and the second track section adjacent to the tail of the train, the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the occupancy status of the second track section includes: If the distance between the second maximum safe rear end position of the train and the second track section is less than the minimum hidden vehicle length, and the second track section is in an idle state, it is determined that there is no hidden train behind the train, and the tail screening of the train is completed.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the minimum hidden car length is the length of the minimum hidden car currently running on the line.

Figure 3 As shown, the radio block center includes a memory 300, a processor 301, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor 301 executes the computer program, the steps of the above method are implemented.
