Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of railway station shunting technology, and in particular to a method for implementing railway plane shunting technology based on 5G and Beidou. Background Art

[0002] In the early days of railway flat shunting operations, communication and command mainly relied on hand signal flags and light displays. This method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to operate in bad weather conditions (such as rainy days and foggy days), and safety and reliability are difficult to guarantee. With the development of railway transportation, this traditional shunting communication method can no longer meet the growing transportation needs and safety requirements.

[0003] In order to overcome the limitations of traditional shunting communication methods, the railway department began to introduce analog wireless shunting communication systems. The introduction of this system has greatly improved the safety and efficiency of shunting operations. The system is based on the installation of control software and hardware on the radio station, and transmits various color light signals and language prompts required for the plane cross marshaling shunting and coupling operations of railway vehicles in real time, realizing the information and control system of vehicle marshaling dispatching that integrates communication and signaling. However, with the rapid development of my country's railways, the requirements for mobile communication systems are also getting higher and higher. The main purpose of the design of traditional analog wireless communication systems is to realize voice communication, but its single function and low frequency utilization rate make it difficult to fully meet the needs of modern transportation production.

[0004] Subsequently, the 400M digital flat shunting operation system based on 400M narrowband communication technology came into being. The system is mainly composed of a shunting machine controller, a shunting handheld console and a shunting area long console. The 400M digital flat shunting operation system has many advantages over the previous 400MHz narrowband analog communication technology. However, the system also has the following shortcomings: (1) Co-frequency interference and crosstalk between different frequencies also occur from time to time, which greatly affects the efficiency and safety of shunting operations. (2) The system is a co-frequency simplex system and cannot achieve two-way full-duplex communication; (3) Due to the limitation of communication bandwidth, video information or other large-capacity data cannot be transmitted. Therefore, the services carried by 400M narrowband are limited, which limits the expansion of its application.

[0005] With the popularization of new generation technologies such as 5G broadband mobile communications and Beidou high-precision positioning in the railway field, it has become particularly urgent to study plane shunting operation schemes based on advanced technologies. In view of this, the present invention is specially proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for implementing railway plane shunting technology based on 5G and Beidou, which can improve the efficiency of shunting operations and enhance operation safety.

[0007] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A railway flat shunting technology implementation system based on 5G and Beidou, including: a shunting locomotive control console, flat shunting system ground equipment and a handheld console; wherein:

[0010] The shunting locomotive console combines the shunting locomotive position obtained by itself with the received shunting operation plan and shunting instructions to perform shunting operations; it includes: Beidou module, 5G communication unit and 400M radio; obtains the shunting locomotive position through the Beidou module, and exchanges data with the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system through the 5G communication unit or the 400M radio; receives the shunting instructions sent by the handheld station through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and returns the feedback information;

[0011] The handheld terminal includes: a Beidou module, a 5G communication unit and a 400M radio. The location of the shunting team is obtained through the Beidou module, data is exchanged with the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system through the 5G communication unit or the 400M radio, and shunting instructions are sent to the shunting locomotive control console through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and feedback information is received.

[0012] A method for implementing railway plane shunting technology based on 5G and Beidou, based on the above-mentioned system implementation, the method includes:

[0013] The ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system sends the shunting operation plan to the shunting locomotive console and handheld console through the 5G network or 400M radio, and receives the confirmation information returned by the shunting locomotive console and handheld console, as well as the location information based on Beidou positioning;

[0014] The handheld terminal sends shunting instructions to the shunting locomotive control console through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and receives the response information from the shunting locomotive control console;

[0015] The shunting locomotive control console performs shunting operations in combination with the shunting locomotive position obtained by itself and the received shunting operation plan and shunting instructions.

[0016] It can be seen from the technical solution provided by the present invention that through 5G and Beidou positioning technology, the precise location information of vehicles and equipment in shunting operations can be obtained in real time, thereby realizing full monitoring and tracking of shunting operations, which helps to optimize the shunting operation process, reduce waiting time and operation conflicts, and improve operation efficiency. Combined with the high-speed communication capability of 5G and the high-precision positioning capability of Beidou, intelligent scheduling and command of shunting operations can be realized.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a railway plane shunting technology implementation system based on 5G and Beidou, such as Figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes: shunting locomotive control console, horizontal shunting system ground equipment and handheld console.

[0030] The ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system exchanges data with the shunting locomotive console and the handheld station through the 5G network or the 400M radio station, including: sending a shunting operation plan to the shunting locomotive console and the handheld station, and receiving confirmation information returned by the shunting locomotive console and the handheld station, and receiving the location information sent by the shunting locomotive console and the handheld station respectively and the interaction information during the shunting operation;

[0031] The shunting locomotive console combines the shunting locomotive position obtained by itself with the received shunting operation plan and shunting instructions to perform shunting operations; it includes: Beidou module, 5G communication unit and 400M radio; obtains the shunting locomotive position through the Beidou module, and exchanges data with the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system through the 5G communication unit or the 400M radio; receives the shunting instructions sent by the handheld station through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and returns the feedback information;

[0032] The handheld terminal includes: a Beidou module, a 5G communication unit and a 400M radio. The location of the shunting team is obtained through the Beidou module, data is exchanged with the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system through the 5G communication unit or the 400M radio, and shunting instructions are sent to the shunting locomotive control console through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and feedback information is received.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the shunting locomotive control console includes two 5G communication units in a redundant configuration. Under normal circumstances, the two 5G communication units maintain a periodic heartbeat connection with the handheld station. During operation, data interaction is performed through one of the 5G communication units. When a fault occurs or the heartbeat connection is interrupted, the shunting locomotive control console will issue a fault prompt and, at the same time, switch to the other 5G communication unit for data interaction.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, under normal circumstances, the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system exchanges data with the shunting locomotive console and the handheld terminal through the 5G network; when the 5G network is unavailable, the entire system switches to the 400M radio for emergency data transmission. At this time, the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system exchanges data with the shunting locomotive console and the handheld terminal through the 400M radio.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, under normal circumstances, the data between the shunting locomotive control console and the handheld console is transmitted through a dual-channel method using a 5G communication unit and a 400M radio station; when the 5G network is unavailable, the entire system switches to the 400M radio station for emergency data transmission, and the data between the shunting locomotive control console and the handheld console is transmitted through the 400M radio station.

[0036] Preferably, the system also includes: an adsorption-type portable video device; the adsorption-type portable video device includes: a camera, a 5G communication unit, a battery and a magnet, or also includes a Beidou module for positioning; the adsorption-type portable video device is powered by a battery, and the magnet is used to adsorb and fix it at a selected position; the adsorption-type portable video device is interconnected and bound to the shunting locomotive console one-to-one, and the video captured by the camera is transmitted to the shunting locomotive console through the 5G communication unit inside the adsorption-type portable video device, or, the shunting locomotive console can also be arranged to transmit the video to the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system to realize long-distance video shunting operations.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system mainly includes: a 5G multimedia district chief station and a shunting operation management system that are interconnected. The 5G multimedia district chief station is a multimedia district chief station with the function of 5G network interconnection. It is equipped with a 400M radio station inside. It can exchange data with the shunting locomotive control console and handheld station through the 5G network or the 400M radio station. The shunting operation management system is mainly used to manage shunting operations.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the handheld terminal belongs to a mobile terminal, which is a terminal device configured for on-site dispatching crew members; the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system is mainly responsible for the overall dispatching command, and is usually equipped with a data processing and display module for processing the received data and displaying it in real time through a display screen, so that the shunting district chief can more intuitively understand and grasp the current status of the shunting operation, support concurrent communication of multiple shunting groups, and be able to scan and identify call signals issued by multiple shunting groups to achieve efficient dispatching command; the shunting locomotive control console is mainly responsible for shunting operations. Under normal circumstances, the 5G multimedia district chief station manages multiple shunting groups. When a shunting group has a problem, the 5G multimedia district chief station will intervene. The on-site shunting operation is actually a shunting team composed of multiple people (for example, 3 to 5 people). They all have handheld terminals to command the shunting process, one of them serves as the shunting master, and the others are brakemen. In the above system introduction, the communication and positioning solutions of these three parts are mainly introduced. In addition, each of these three parts is also equipped with modules necessary for completing shunting operations, but considering that the shunting operation process and its related modules can be implemented through conventional solutions, they are not described in detail. In addition, Figure 1 The ground equipment and related systems on the right side all belong to the scope of the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding shunting operation is performed according to the received shunting instruction. Generally, the shunting operation can include the following two categories: (1) Traction operation. During the traction operation, the shunting locomotive control console calculates the length of the entire train according to the length change and vehicle quantity information included in the shunting operation plan, and then obtains the position information of both ends of the entire shunting train according to the current position obtained in real time by the Beidou module. When the traction operation reaches the target address, the shunting locomotive control console uploads the calculated position information of both ends of the train to the shunting operation management system in the ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system through the 5G network. (2) Pushing operation. Before the start of the pushing operation, the shunting locomotive control console obtains the position information of the parked car in front from the shunting operation management system in advance. During the pushing operation, the shunting locomotive control console obtains the current position in real time based on its own Beidou module, and then calculates the distance between the head position of the first car in the forward direction and the parked car in combination with the position information of the parked car in front and the length change information and the number of vehicles of the pushed train. During the pushing process, when the shunting locomotive control console calculates that the real-time position distance between the first car in the pushing direction and the parked car reaches the set distance, the distance information is automatically broadcast; when this pushing operation reaches the target address, the shunting locomotive control console uploads the calculated position information of both ends of the train to the shunting operation management system through the 5G network, and the shunting operation management system updates the entire parked car position and corrects the error. Before the next hooking operation starts, the shunting operation management system sends the corrected position information of the parked car to the shunting locomotive control console.

[0040] In order to more clearly demonstrate the technical solution and technical effects provided by the present invention, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with specific embodiments below.

[0041] 1. The overall architecture of the system.

[0042] See also Figure 1 In addition to the shunting locomotive control console, the ground equipment horizontal adjustment system, the handheld console and auxiliary equipment, the system provided by the present invention also adds an adsorption-type portable video device.

[0043] 1. Shunting locomotive control console (machine control panel).

[0044] The shunting locomotive console is an on-board device. In addition to retaining the previous generation 400M digital radio, it has added 5G communication unit 1, 5G communication unit 2 and Beidou module. 5G communication unit 1 and 5G communication unit 2 are redundant settings. Under normal circumstances, they maintain a certain period of heartbeat connection with the shunting master's handheld console to complete the machine signal. Business data can be transmitted through a certain communication unit. When one of the communication units fails or fails to receive the heartbeat information for more than the set time, the driver needs to be prompted with sound and light, and the business data should be switched to the normal communication unit; the Beidou module is used for shunting locomotive position positioning. When a Beidou differential base station is set, the positioning accuracy can reach decimeter or centimeter level, which can fully meet the needs of shunting operations. Under normal circumstances, the voice, video (collected by adsorption portable video equipment) of the shunting locomotive console, and the data interaction with the ground system are all carried by the 5G network, while the reception and response of shunting instructions are carried by the dual channels of 5G and 400M digital radio. Since both channels are open for reception, the shunting locomotive control console will receive the same shunting instruction one after another and respond to the operation on a first-come-first-served basis. The later-arriving instructions will be considered for execution or abandonment after comparison.

[0045] 2. Ground equipment of leveling system.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ground equipment of the horizontal dispatching system mainly includes: a 5G multimedia district chief station and a shunting operation management system that are interconnected. The shunting operation management system can be implemented with reference to conventional technologies; and the 5G multimedia district chief station, compared with the traditional digital district chief station, has added the function of interconnecting with the 5G network on the basis of the original 400M. Compared with the scheme of setting up a 5G communication unit inside the district chief station, the direct interconnection of the wired network can reduce the end-to-end data transmission delay, and also avoid the problem that the wireless signal is susceptible to interference. The multimedia district chief station is equipped with a large touch screen, which is more convenient to realize the voice dispatching and video dispatching functions, so that the shunting district chief can more intuitively understand and grasp the current situation of the shunting operation, support concurrent communication of multiple shunting groups, and can scan and identify call signals issued by multiple shunting groups to achieve efficient dispatching and command. The multimedia district chief station should integrate data processing and display modules, be able to receive and process data information from each shunting group, such as shunting operation plan, locomotive position, operation progress, etc., and display it in real time through touch screens, etc., to provide dispatchers with an intuitive operation monitoring interface.

[0047] 3. Handheld station.

[0048] The handheld terminal is a terminal device configured for on-site dispatching crew members, including the shunting master handheld terminal and the brakeman handheld terminal. The handheld terminal contains 5G module, Beidou module, 400M module, display screen, etc. The Beidou module is used to locate the position of the shunting crew members and report to the ground system, so that relevant management personnel can grasp the distribution status of the shunting crew members at any time, and also provide a basis for the operation safety protection system to push various safety protection reminders on demand. The 5G module and the 400M module are in working mode at the same time. Under normal working conditions, the 5G module undertakes the data interaction tasks between the shunting crew members, shunting operation orders, etc. and the ground system.

[0049] For the transmission of shunting instructions and their feedback during the shunting process, considering their high importance and security level, and the small amount of data, they can be transmitted through 5G and 400M dual channels, or the shunting instructions can be classified, and some instructions with higher security levels (such as stop, emergency stop, etc.) can be selected for dual-channel transmission. For the feedback information returned by the shunting locomotive control console, since it is also received through dual channels, the handheld station displays or voice broadcasts reminders on a first-come-first-served basis. The same information received later from another channel within a limited time range can be ignored.

[0050] 4. Adsorption-type portable video device.

[0051] The suction-type portable video device is mainly composed of a camera, a 5G module (Beidou module is optional), a battery, a magnet, etc. The whole set of equipment is powered by a battery and turned on and off by a physical switch. This device is one-to-one interconnected and bound with the shunting locomotive console. After the device is turned on, the video collected by the camera is transmitted to the shunting locomotive console display through the 5G network. Through settings, the video can also be distributed to the corresponding multimedia district chief station to realize long-distance video shunting operations.

[0052] 2. Emergency guarantee mechanism.

[0053] In the railway flat shunting system based on 5G and BeiDou, the shunting locomotive console is the core of the entire system. In order to prevent the 5G broadband network from being unavailable due to the simultaneous failure of the two 5G communication units of the shunting locomotive console or the 5G network failure under extreme circumstances, and to simplify the processing mechanism, whether the 5G network failure causes the shunting locomotive console, handheld console and other equipment to be unable to use 5G, or the shunting locomotive console itself causes 5G to be unavailable, the entire system will switch to the 400M radio for emergency data transmission. Since 400M is a narrowband communication system, the flat shunting system function needs to be downgraded at this time, the original real-time video and other big data need to stop transmitting, and the BeiDou positioning information needs to reduce the transmission frequency and optimize the compression of key information data. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is a service data carrying solution under normal 5G function conditions; Figure 3The figure shows the emergency data transmission scheme of 400M radio station.

[0054] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, through the application of Beidou high-precision positioning system and 5G video communication in shunting operations, frees the foreman from climbing on the carriage to determine the distance to the vehicle. At the same time, the driver also changes from passively mechanically accepting shunting operation control to exercising subjective initiative like in traction operations during the pushing operation, which reduces the work intensity of the entire shunting personnel as a whole, avoids shunting operation accidents caused by high-risk operations of personnel, and is of great significance.

[0055] 3. Redundancy mechanism.

[0056] The redundancy mechanism provided by the present invention includes: terminal equipment redundancy and network redundancy.

[0057] 1. Terminal equipment redundancy.

[0058] The shunting locomotive control console is equipped with two sets of 5G communication units. When one of the communication units fails, the other redundant communication unit immediately enters the working state, thereby reducing the risks caused by equipment failure, reducing the probability of overall system failure, and ensuring the continuity of shunting operations.

[0059] 2. Network redundancy.

[0060] It supports two communication modes, 5G and 400M. In order to ensure the real-time and reliability of shunting instructions, both 5G and 400M modes are used for transmission. The transmission of voice and other data gives priority to the 5G channel. When the 5G channel data transmission is interrupted, the 400M mode communication is enabled to ensure the stability of communication.

[0061] 4. Shunting operation mechanism.

[0062] Plane shunting operations can be divided into two situations according to the running status of the vehicle: traction operation and push operation. When the shunting locomotive is performing traction operations, the shunting locomotive is at the front end of the train's forward direction, and the driver is in the direction of the train's forward direction, with good observation conditions, which makes it easy to observe the situation in the train's forward direction and operate the locomotive in time according to the situation. However, when the train is pushing, the shunting locomotive is at the rear end of the train's forward direction, and the driver is also at the rear end of the train's forward direction. The line of sight in the forward direction is blocked by the entire train, making it difficult to observe, and it is impossible to directly operate the locomotive in time according to the situation in the train's forward direction, which is easy to cause danger. Different measures need to be taken to deal with the above two shunting conditions.

[0063] 1. Traction operation.

[0064] For traction operations, such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, during the shunting operation, the Beidou positioning module installed in the shunting locomotive console obtains the current position information in real time. According to the length change and vehicle quantity information required to calculate the length of the train contained in the shunting operation plan, the position information of both ends of the entire shunting train can be calculated. When the hook traction operation reaches the target address, the shunting locomotive console uploads the calculated position information of both ends of the train to the ground shunting operation management system through the 5G network, and can calculate the position information of the parked car. In this way, the shunting operation management system has real-time position information of the parked car. Before the next hook task starts, the system sends the position information of the parked car to the shunting locomotive console in advance through the 5G network.

[0065] 2. Promote the work.

[0066] For advancement operations, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, at the beginning of the shunting operation, the shunting locomotive console has obtained the position information of the parked car in front from the shunting operation management system in advance. Combined with the real-time position information received by the Beidou module of the shunting locomotive console and the length change information and the number of vehicles of the advancing train, the distance between the head position of the first car in the advancing direction and the parked car can be calculated. In order to make the shunting operation safer and more intuitive, before the start of the advancement operation, the shunting personnel will attach the adsorption portable video device to the front position of the first car in advance and start it. The video device automatically establishes a one-to-one video connection with the shunting locomotive console. The shunting driver can watch the on-site conditions in front of the advancement and the distance information with the parked car in real time through the large screen of the shunting locomotive console. During the advancement process, when the shunting locomotive console calculates that the real-time position distance between the first car in the advancement direction and the parked car reaches the distance of "10 cars", "5 cars" and "3 cars", the distance information is automatically broadcast to the driver. When the hook push operation reaches the target address, it is processed similarly to the traction operation. The shunting locomotive control console uploads the calculated position information of both ends of the train to the ground shunting operation management system through the 5G network. The system updates the position of the entire parked car and corrects the error. Before the next hook operation starts, the shunting operation management system sends the position information of the parked car to the shunting locomotive control console.

[0067] The above-mentioned system provided by the embodiment of the present invention: (1) Improve the efficiency of shunting operations. Through 5G and Beidou positioning technology, the precise location information of vehicles and equipment in shunting operations can be obtained in real time, thereby realizing full monitoring and tracking of shunting operations. This helps to optimize the shunting operation process, reduce waiting time and operation conflicts, and improve operation efficiency. Combining the high-speed communication capability of 5G and the high-precision positioning capability of Beidou, intelligent scheduling and command of shunting operations can be realized. (2) Enhance operation safety. Using Beidou positioning technology, electronic fences can be set up in railway stations to divide and restrict shunting operation areas. When a vehicle or equipment approaches a dangerous area, the system will automatically issue a warning signal to remind the operator to pay attention to safety and avoid accidents. 5G and Beidou positioning technology can realize accurate positioning of vehicles and equipment. By calculating and analyzing the relative position and speed information between vehicles, potential collision risks can be predicted, and anti-collision warnings can be issued in time to ensure operation safety. The system provided by the present invention will help improve the overall efficiency and service level of railway transportation.

[0068] Embodiment 2

[0069] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for implementing railway plane shunting technology based on 5G and Beidou. The method is implemented based on the system provided by the above embodiment, and the method mainly includes:

[0070] The ground equipment of the horizontal shunting system sends the shunting operation plan to the shunting locomotive console and handheld console through the 5G network or 400M radio, and receives the confirmation information returned by the shunting locomotive console and handheld console, as well as the location information based on Beidou positioning;

[0071] The handheld terminal sends shunting instructions to the shunting locomotive control console through the 5G communication unit and the 400M radio, and receives the response information from the shunting locomotive control console;
