The external system is connected to the hyper-converged data platform for information exchange.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The hyper-converged data platform includes an interface layer, a data resource pool layer and an application layer. The interface layer is connected to the execution terminal and the external system for providing an information interaction channel;

[0035] The data resource pool layer is used to store the data obtained by the interface layer; the application layer processes the data and connects with the execution terminal and the external system through the interface layer; the application layer is also connected to the display and control terminal to receive the control instructions. The data resource pool layer is used to store the data generated by each external system or execution terminal. Including scheduling data, operation and maintenance data, early warning and protection data, intelligent management and control data, basic equipment data and central data issued by the production scheduling command center.

[0036] The data resource pool layer can perform real-time data processing for multiple professions and all scenarios. It realizes the integration of industrial control data for multiple professions and all scenarios, and provides data support for intelligent operations. It adopts real-time processing technology for key business data, and the data delay is shortened by 40% compared with the industry average. Global data governance capabilities based on business. Including global data governance capabilities such as data element definition based on business scenarios, time normalization based on big data mining, and automatic spatial aggregation based on business rules.

The hierarchical management of resource pools realizes dynamic memory scheduling of different business applications. Real-time monitoring of applications, active migration when abnormalities are found, to ensure high reliability of applications

[0037] Furthermore, the interface layer includes Ethernet. It interfaces with the execution terminal to achieve two-way data transmission of control information and monitoring information. It interfaces with multiple external systems to achieve unified interfaces, unified protocols, and unified data structures for external devices. It implements interfaces through wired and wireless communication networks and has expansion capabilities. It can simplify the complex communication connection relationship between the current devices, and the use of a unified interface reduces the operation and maintenance costs.

[0038] Furthermore, the application layer includes: integrated dispatching application, multi-professional operation and maintenance application, intelligent shunting center application, port cargo yard intelligent management and control application, drone inspection application and production dispatch command center application. Each application in the application layer corresponds to a data resource pool, and the corresponding function is completed by calling the corresponding data in the data resource pool. Some applications also have corresponding execution terminals, such as drones, cameras, or corresponding external systems, such as interlocking systems, environmental monitoring systems, etc.

[0039] Among them, the integrated dispatching application is an important part of the construction of smart ports and a package solution for railway transportation and dispatching command. Based on the advanced experience of railway transportation informatization at home and abroad and the actual situation of the port railway itself, the smart freight yard or port system takes the dispatching centralized control system (CTC) as the core, and realizes dispatching command, freight management, shunting monitoring and information sharing on the basis of close professional coordination, precise planning, automatic route control, automatic information collection and intelligent data analysis, so as to improve transportation efficiency, improve business management and improve service quality, forming a complete railway integrated dispatching platform integrating intelligent control, management and decision-making.

[0040] The multi-professional operation and maintenance application hyper-convergence big data platform integrates professional knowledge and technical means in multiple fields, enabling operation and maintenance applications to more comprehensively monitor and manage various facilities and services in cargo yards or ports. By collecting and analyzing data in real time, the platform can predict potential failures and problems, and take corresponding maintenance measures in a timely manner to ensure the stable operation of the port.

[0041] Smart port control is another important function of the hyper-converged big data platform. The platform uses advanced data analysis algorithms and artificial intelligence technology to conduct real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis of information such as the flow of people, logistics, and transportation in cargo yards or ports. Through these analysis results, the platform can provide decision-making support for cargo yard or port managers, helping them to formulate more effective control strategies and improve the overall operational efficiency and safety of ports.

[0042] The intelligent shunting function is an innovative application of the hyper-converged big data platform in port transportation management. By collecting and analyzing information such as the location, status, and destination of the vehicle, the platform can realize the automation and reduction of manpower in the entire shunting operation. This not only improves the efficiency of shunting, but also reduces the risk of accidents and improves the quality of transportation services at the port. Based on a unified big data platform, information sharing between the above-mentioned functional systems becomes convenient and efficient. The platform adopts advanced data exchange and integration technologies to ensure that data between the dispatching and operation and maintenance functions can be seamlessly connected and circulated. This information sharing mechanism not only improves the utilization rate of data, but also strengthens the synergy between various systems, making the overall operation of the port more intelligent and efficient.

[0043] Each of the above application layers, data resource pool layer, and interface service layer can be deployed in a virtualized container, and each function or several functions correspond to a container. The container can be deployed in the cloud or in a local server.

[0044] Set up a basic service layer to provide external Ethernet, CAN, serial bus and other communication access functions, relay acquisition drive interface functions, and provide internal message transmission functions.

[0045] Taking into account the characteristics of SIL4 safety system of railway signal products, such as intelligent shunting function, the container can be implemented by two containers with different architecture designs. To meet the needs of running the same application at the same time, the application code design in different containers can be differentiated. When the calculation results of two applications with the same purpose are inconsistent, the safety-oriented processing is performed, and the purpose of redundant safety is achieved through 2-out-of-2 differentiated comparison calculation.

[0046] When interacting with external systems, the security protocol requirements in the relevant standards should be followed. When exchanging security-critical information internally, the security communication protocol should also be supported, and the security protocol should be used to exchange security-critical data. The system meets the requirements of network security protection level 3.

[0047] Specifically, the execution terminal includes digital and intelligent port management and control equipment, which includes a transmission and collection unit for collecting location information, command prompts and alarm information and port management and control information. The execution terminal includes automatic shunting protection equipment, which includes automatic shunting driving, and is used to obtain operation tasks, operation conditions and feedback and shunting protection information. The execution terminal includes level crossing protection equipment, which includes a crossing controller and an on-site control panel, which is used to obtain the status of power supply equipment, the status of sound and light alarm equipment, the status of signal machines and the status of barrier machines. The execution terminal includes intelligent operation and maintenance equipment, which includes information transmission equipment for performing electrical monitoring, power supply monitoring, engineering monitoring and port equipment monitoring. The execution terminal includes unmanned aerial vehicle inspection equipment, which is used for the execution terminal to include a handheld terminal. The external system includes an interlocking system, an environmental monitoring system and a disaster warning system. It also includes an operation terminal, which is connected to each execution terminal and is used to control the execution terminal.

[0048] See also Figure 3 , describes the basic process of shunting business. By designing external terminals with trackside sensing, handheld devices and shunting vehicle-mounted devices, the data resource pool layer is the center of the entire data information, responsible for the reception, processing, storage and forwarding functions of the entire shunting business data. The application layer designs scheduling and shunting. Scheduling mainly provides shunting planning functions for shunting operations. The shunting business completes the processing of vehicle-mounted, interlocking and scheduling information to generate vehicle control authorization and other information to complete the shunting business functions. The entire process is based on the data resource pool as the interface and processing core of information to achieve information sharing.

[0049] The smart freight yard or port system provided by the present invention can realize multi-functional linkage, including operation and maintenance, dispatching and shunting functions, and realize data interaction and sharing between various functions. Figure 4 , describing the basic process of multifunctional linkage of operation and maintenance, dispatching, and shunting. The execution terminals include trackside sensing, handheld devices, and shunting vehicle-mounted equipment. External systems such as interlocking systems will generate relevant control signal data based on the dispatching, operation and maintenance, and shunting functions. These data are shared and forwarded through the data resource pool layer. As the center of the entire data information, the data resource pool layer is responsible for the reception, processing, storage, and forwarding of the entire operation and maintenance-dispatching-shunting and early warning protection multifunctional linkage business data. The application layer designs the dispatching, operation and maintenance, and shunting systems. Operation and maintenance mainly provides operation and maintenance information. Dispatching mainly generates operation and maintenance operation plan functions based on operation and maintenance information. The shunting business completes the processing of operation and maintenance information issued by the vehicle, interlocking, and dispatching to generate operation and maintenance operation early warning protection electronic fences and other information to complete the protection function of shunting approaching the operation and maintenance area. The entire process is based on the data resource pool layer as the information interface and processing core to achieve information sharing. From Figure 4It can be seen that through the processing of the data resource pool layer, the originally three independent functions can share data, realize multi-functional linkage, reduce the use of data interfaces, and reduce the complexity of interaction between functional data.

[0050] In summary, the present invention integrates multiple risk-based independent functional systems based on a hyper-converged data platform to achieve hardware integration and resource management of smart cargo yards or ports. Based on the hyper-converged data platform, the interface with terminal devices or external systems is unified to reduce interface complexity. Data sharing between systems is achieved, multi-professional position linkage is achieved, the original independent system information islands are broken, and the digitization of cargo yards or ports is achieved. On-site deployment is convenient and can be flexibly deployed according to business needs. Independent upgrades of single application functions or services can be achieved without affecting other functions, and functions can be flexibly expanded according to later needs.
