Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rail transportation, and in particular to a method and system for automatically generating a locomotive operation diagram in a locomotive depot. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the railway transportation industry, in order to meet the growing demand for passenger and freight transportation and complete the driving and transportation tasks, while maintaining a fixed number of locomotives, the railway bureaus and group companies have an increasingly urgent need for the rational and efficient use of locomotives. The basis for the rational and efficient use of locomotives is the efficient operation and circulation of locomotives in the locomotive depot, thereby providing a continuous source of power for the train. The main operations of locomotives in the locomotive depot include entry and exit operations, shunting operations, preparation operations, and maintenance operations. The locomotive operations in the locomotive depot are fully informatized and charted, so that the command center, locomotive control room, preparation room, maintenance room and other production and dispatching sites of the locomotive depot can clearly grasp the operating activities of each locomotive in the depot during any time period, which can provide intuitive data support for the locomotive depot to optimize the operation links and improve the operation efficiency.

[0003] To this end, the industry has made some useful attempts, such as generating locomotive operation charts through locomotive turnover charts. This method can ensure the accuracy of data at large nodes on the way, but its disadvantage is that it cannot show the detailed operation information of locomotives in the locomotive depot; another method is to display locomotive operation charts by operation category in different operation systems. This method cannot fully show all the operation information of locomotives in the locomotive depot. The role of locomotive operation charts cannot be fully utilized.

Regardless of whether the entry and exit operation data, locomotive maintenance operation data and locomotive maintenance operation data are managed by one system or multiple systems, the interface server can be used to establish communication with the corresponding system to obtain corresponding business information; since the maintenance and shunting protection system already has a corresponding external information interface server, whether it is on an already opened line or on a line under construction or planned to be constructed, it is only necessary to add and deploy the corresponding interface software on the interface server to realize interaction with the locomotive depot-related systems. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for the generation of locomotive operation data for the entire line.

[0047] 2. Effectively ensure the correctness of locomotive operation data: By checking the conflict of input data, the correctness of locomotive operation data can be ensured. At the same time, for incorrect input data, an effective alarm function can be used to remind manual correction of input data.

[0048] 3. Effectively ensure the integrity of locomotive operation data: The present invention is combined with various business systems in the locomotive depot to obtain various operation data, which can effectively solve the problem of incomplete locomotive operation information.

[0086] Preferably, the locomotive operation data includes locomotive number, locomotive type, operation type (entering the section, shunting, maintenance, overhaul, leaving the section), operation status (planned, in progress, completed), operation sub-attributes (such as the maintenance operation corresponds to basic preparation, standard preparation, comprehensive preparation, etc.), operation start and end time, source location, target location, associated original data ID (such as original maintenance data ID) and conflict mark (yes, no), etc. These locomotive operation data are all stored in the database.
