Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rail transit communication and signaling technology, and specifically to a method and system for train reception and dispatch assistance based on work scheduling. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most stations across the railway network rely primarily on telephones and walkie-talkies for communication between their various operational positions. Station duty officers and assistant duty officers, due to work requirements, must contact train dispatchers before receiving and dispatching trains to discuss locomotive arrangements, confirm conditions, notify car number clerks of delivery tickets, and notify field assistant duty officers. If the train involves passenger boarding and alighting at the station, the duty officer must also notify the broadcasting room for ticket announcements. This necessitates frequent telephone communication to communicate operational status, and confirmation from each position is required before proceeding to the next step. When operations overlap, the frequency of calls is exceptionally high, resulting in high workload and low efficiency. Late or even missed notifications to personnel are common, making the current operational methods insufficient to guarantee the safety of transportation operations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for assisting train reception and dispatch based on work scheduling, so as to realize the fully automated arrangement of field operations throughout the entire train reception and dispatch process, improve the efficiency of on-site operations, and ensure the safety and reliability of on-site operations.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for assisting train reception and dispatch based on work scheduling, comprising: obtaining, through a background server, station route status reflecting track occupancy within the station, real-time train information including train position, and train plan information reflecting the work to be completed by the train at the station; The back-end server sends the station route status, real-time train information, and train schedule information to the field equipment through the station communication server, so that the field equipment updates the train schedule information it stores and uses the updated train schedule information as the train schedule information to be arranged. The field equipment locates the corresponding operational positions for the tasks that the train needs to complete at the station based on the train schedule information; and determines whether the train has met the execution conditions for the operational positions based on the station route status and real-time train information; after the train meets the execution conditions for the operational positions, the field equipment generates reminder operation information. The execution conditions for the position to be operated are: the station route corresponding to the train is locked, and the train is located within the control area of ​​the position to be operated.

[0005] Alternatively, methods for field equipment to update its stored train schedule information include: The field equipment receives the latest train schedule information and compares the latest train schedule information with its stored train schedule information; When the latest train schedule information is completely consistent with the train schedule information stored therein, the field equipment will not update the train schedule information stored therein. When the latest train schedule information is inconsistent with the train schedule information stored therein, the field equipment will store the latest train schedule information and use the latest train schedule information as the train schedule information to be arranged.

[0006] Optionally, the train planning information includes: planning information ID, train number, train number attribute, and operation information of this platform; Methods for storing the latest train schedule information in field equipment include: If the plan information ID in the latest train plan information is inconsistent with the plan information ID in the stored train plan information, then the latest train plan information will also be stored in the field equipment and marked as train plan information to be arranged. If the plan information ID in the latest train plan information is consistent with the plan information ID in the stored train plan information, but the train number, train number attribute, and operation information of this platform in the latest train plan information are inconsistent with those in the stored train plan information, then the field equipment will use the latest train plan information to update the stored train plan information and mark the updated train plan information as train plan information to be arranged.

[0007] Optionally, the operational information of this platform in the train planning information includes: the train's entrance and exit numbers, and the track numbers used for train reception, departure, stopping, or passage. The field equipment stores all associated positions corresponding to each train number; each associated position corresponds to a type of information, which includes: the train number attribute and operation function of the associated position; the operation function includes: a control area containing the entrance number, exit number, and track number. The method by which the field service equipment locates the work positions to be performed based on the train schedule information includes: The field equipment searches for all associated positions corresponding to the train number in the train schedule information to be arranged. The field equipment reads the train number attribute and the operation information of this platform in the train schedule information to be arranged, and compares it with the train number attribute and operation function in the type information of all associated positions to find the associated positions that match the train schedule information to be arranged, and marks the associated positions as positions to be operated, so that the track number, entrance number and exit number in the operation information of this platform are all located in the control area of ​​the positions to be operated.

[0008] Optionally, the method for the field equipment to locate the workstation to be operated based on the train schedule information to be arranged further includes: The field equipment resets the working status of all associated positions corresponding to the train; wherein, the working status includes: an execution status indicating that the associated position has met the execution conditions and can control the train operation, a standby status indicating that the associated position can control the train operation after meeting the execution conditions, and a locked status indicating that the train operation cannot be controlled. Set the work status of the job to be operated to the pending state, and set the work status of other related jobs to the locked state.

[0009] Optionally, the real-time train information may further include: train number; The methods used by field equipment to determine whether a train meets the operational conditions for a waiting post based on station route status and real-time train information include: Based on the train number in the real-time train information, the field equipment determines the train plan information corresponding to the train number, and then obtains the job position to be operated corresponding to the train plan information; and based on the train position in the real-time train information, the field equipment determines whether the train has met the execution conditions of the job position to be operated. When the train meets the execution conditions for the assigned position, the field equipment will generate a reminder operation message; When the train does not meet the execution conditions of the waiting position, the field equipment will continue to receive real-time train information and station route status until the train meets the execution conditions of the waiting position.

[0010] Optionally, after the train reaches the execution conditions for the position to be operated, the method for the field equipment to generate reminder operation information includes: Set an operation time threshold in the field equipment; Once the train meets the execution conditions for the assigned work station, the field equipment generates a reminder operation message and starts timing simultaneously. When the work to be performed is completed within the operation time threshold, the timer of the field equipment stops and is reset to zero; When a task is not completed within the specified time threshold, the timer of the field equipment is reset, and the field equipment generates an alarm message, which is then sent to the station communication server. The backend server then controls the station communication server to forward the alarm message to the duty officer's terminal.

[0011] Optionally, after the train reaches the execution conditions for the operation position, the method for the field equipment to generate reminder operation information further includes: When the duty officer terminal receives an alarm message, it will receive and record the feedback information and send the feedback information to the station communication server. The back-end server will then control the station communication server to forward the feedback information to the field equipment. While generating reminder operation information, the field equipment sends the reminder operation information to the station communication server, and then the back-end server controls the station communication server to send the reminder operation information to the duty officer terminal; when the task to be performed is completed within the operation time threshold, the field equipment receives feedback information reflecting the execution status of the task to be performed, and sends the feedback information to the station communication server, and then the back-end server controls the station communication server to forward the feedback information to the duty officer terminal; The duty officer's terminal will record the reminder operation information and feedback information to the log of the position to be operated.

[0012] In addition, the present invention also provides a system for assisting in receiving and dispatching trains based on work scheduling, comprising: The signal tower includes: a back-end server and a station communication server; The station communication server is a signal forwarding device that receives and forwards station route status, real-time train information, and train schedule information. The back-end server transmits signals with the station communication server, and receives station route status, real-time train information, and train schedule information forwarded by the station communication server; the back-end server internally stores the signal transmission process, and can identify each piece of information and determine the sending direction of each piece of information, so as to control the sending direction of each piece of information by the station communication server. Field equipment includes: storage module, control module, signal transmission module, and control panel; The control panel is used to receive feedback information in order to complete the work of the position to be operated; The signal transmission module transmits signals with the station communication server, receives train plan information, real-time train information, and station route status, and sends feedback information to the station communication server. The storage module is used to store several train plan information and several train numbers and all their corresponding related positions; The control module receives train schedule information and updates the train schedule information stored in the storage module, making the updated train schedule information the train schedule information to be arranged; the control module obtains all associated positions of the train based on the train schedule information to be arranged, and searches for the position to be operated that matches the train schedule information to be arranged from all associated positions; the control module also receives real-time train information and station route status, and determines whether the train has met the conditions for the position to be operated to perform the work based on the real-time train information, so as to generate a reminder operation information.

[0013] Optionally, the signal tower further includes: a duty officer terminal; The duty officer terminal transmits signals with the station communication server and receives reminder operation information and feedback information forwarded by the station communication server; The duty officer terminal receives and records feedback information from the outside world. The duty officer terminal will record the reminder operation information and feedback information to the log of the position to be operated.

[0014] Optionally, the control module of the field equipment is provided with an operation time threshold; If the operator fails to complete the task within the set time threshold, the controller of the field equipment will generate an alarm message and send it to the station communication server through the signal transmission module. The back-end server will then control the station communication server to send the alarm message to the duty officer's terminal. When the duty officer's terminal receives the alarm message, it will receive feedback information from the outside and record the feedback information, and then send the feedback information to the station communication server. Furthermore, the control panel and the station communication server transmit signals to receive feedback information forwarded by the station communication server.

[0015] Optionally, the signal tower further includes: The signal acquisition device is used to acquire station route status and real-time train information; and the signal acquisition device transmits signals with the back-end server to send the station route status and real-time train information to the back-end server. The planning terminal is used to obtain train planning information; and the planning terminal transmits signals with the back-end server to send the train planning information to the back-end server.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The method described in this invention establishes signal transmission between field equipment and the back-end server through a station communication server. This enables the field equipment to receive train schedule information and real-time train information. Based on the train schedule information, it locates the operational positions from the train's associated positions. Then, based on the real-time train information, it determines whether the train has met the execution conditions for the operational position, thus completing the task. This provides the field equipment with more efficient and accurate information, assisting the duty officer in notifying field personnel of their work assignments by phone. It achieves fully automated field work scheduling throughout the entire train arrival and departure process, improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, if the field equipment cannot complete the operation of the operational position within the specified time threshold, it generates an alarm message and sends it to the duty officer's terminal via the station communication server, enabling the duty officer to complete the operation and ensuring the safety and reliability of the operational tasks.

[0017] The system described in this invention establishes a signal transmission relationship between the signal tower and the field equipment. Through the station communication server, the field equipment, the back-end server, and the duty officer terminal, real-time signal transmission and information synchronization are achieved, reducing the workload of the signal tower and maximizing the automatic dispatching of trains. At the same time, the field equipment and the TDCS / CTC system (i.e., the back-end server and the duty officer terminal) are in the same communication network, which is conducive to information sharing and operation sharing between the field equipment and the TDCS / CTC system, so as to meet the communication needs between different positions and different types of work.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention provides a system for assisting in receiving and dispatching trains based on work scheduling. By establishing signal communication between field equipment 2 and signal tower 1, field equipment 2 can receive train plan information sent by signal tower 1, enabling field equipment 2 to complete train work arrangements according to the train plan information and synchronize the work arrangements to signal tower 1. Simultaneously, by obtaining real-time train information sent by signal tower 1, it can determine whether the train has met the conditions for executing the work arrangements. After the train meets the conditions for executing the work, it can remind personnel to execute the work arrangements in a timely manner and synchronize the execution status of the work arrangements to signal tower 1, so that the personnel in signal tower 1 can monitor whether the train work arrangements are executed in real time.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a signal tower 1 and field equipment 2. The signal tower 1 is used to receive real-time train information and train schedule information. The field equipment 2 and the signal tower 1 transmit signals, which can receive real-time train information and train schedule information sent by the signal tower 1, and complete train operation arrangements according to the train schedule information. Based on the real-time train information, it can determine whether the train has met the conditions for the operation of the waiting position 21 after the train enters the station, so that the train can complete the operation.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal tower 1 includes: a signal acquisition unit 3, a planning terminal 4, a back-end server 11, a duty officer terminal 13, and a station communication server 12 (commsvr).

[0032] The signal acquisition device 3 is used to acquire station route status and real-time train information. The planning terminal 4 is used to acquire train planning information. The duty officer terminal 13 can receive feedback information reflecting the operation status of the work position 21 from the outside, so as to manually intervene in the control of the work position 21 by the field equipment 2, and record the feedback information; and the duty officer terminal 13 can record the log of the work position 21; wherein, the log includes: reminder operation information reflecting whether the work position 21 has completed the work in a timely manner, and feedback information reflecting the operation status of the work position 21.

[0033] The station communication server 12 is a signal forwarding device, enabling bidirectional signal transmission with the signal collector 3, planning terminal 4, duty officer terminal 13, and signal tower 1. The backend server 11 transmits signals with the station communication server 12 and controls the direction of information transmission by the station communication server 12. Specifically, the backend server 11 internally stores the signal transmission process (i.e., the work process), can identify each piece of information and determine its transmission direction, and then controls the station communication server 12 to forward the information. The backend server 11 receives the station route status, real-time train information, and train planning information forwarded by the station communication server 12, and controls the station communication server 12 to send these information to the field equipment 2. The backend server 11 receives the reminder operation information forwarded by the station communication server 12 and forwards it to the duty officer terminal 13. The backend server 11 receives the feedback information forwarded by the station communication server 12 and forwards it to the duty officer terminal 13.

[0034] The field equipment 2 includes: a storage module, a control module, a signal transmission module, and a control panel.

[0035] The signal transmission module transmits signals with the station communication server 12, and can receive train plan information, real-time train information, and station route status, and send feedback information to the station communication server 12.

[0036] The storage module is used to store several train plan information and all associated positions corresponding to several trains (i.e., train numbers).

[0037] The control module, storage module, and signal transmission module transmit signals to receive train plan information, real-time train information, and station route status sent by the signal transmission module, and to read and write the stored content of the storage module. Specifically, the control module updates the train plan information stored in the storage module, making the updated train plan information the train plan information to be arranged; the control module obtains all associated positions of the train based on the train plan information to be arranged, and searches for the pending operation position 21 that matches the train plan information from all associated positions, and the pending operation position is used to complete the work of the train plan information to be arranged; the control module can determine whether the train has met the conditions for the pending operation position 21 to perform the work based on the real-time train information, and generate reminder operation information so that personnel can complete the work of the pending operation position 21 in a timely manner.

[0038] The control panel is used to receive feedback information so that the work station 21 can complete the task.

[0039] Furthermore, the control module of the field equipment 2 is equipped with an operation time threshold. If the work to be performed at the designated position 21 fails to be completed in a timely manner (within the set operation time threshold), the control module of the field equipment 2 will generate an alarm message and send it to the station communication server 12 via the signal transmission module. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to send the alarm message to the duty officer terminal 13, prompting the personnel at the duty officer terminal 13 to complete the work at the designated position 21. This serves as a reminder to the personnel at the duty officer terminal 13 to complete the work at the designated position 21 in a timely manner, allowing the duty officer terminal 13 to receive feedback information from the outside world and then send the feedback information to the station communication server 12. At this time, the backend server 11 controls the station communication server 12 to send the feedback information to the field equipment 2. The signal transmission between the station communication server 12 and the control panel enables the control panel of the field equipment 2 to receive the feedback information, thereby enabling the work to be performed at the designated position 21 to complete the work.

[0040] Furthermore, while generating reminder operation information, the field equipment 2 sends the reminder operation information to the station communication server 12, and then sends the reminder operation information to the duty officer terminal 13. When the work to be performed at the designated post 21 is completed within the operation time threshold, the control panel of the field equipment 2 receives feedback information reflecting the execution status of the work to be performed at the designated post 21, and sends the feedback information to the station communication server 12. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to forward the feedback information to the duty officer terminal. The duty officer terminal 13 records the reminder operation information and feedback information (including feedback information received by the duty officer terminal 13 from the station communication server and feedback information received directly from the outside) in the log of the work to be performed at the designated post 21. The station route status indicates the usage status of a certain track (i.e., train route) within the platform, including: a locked status indicating that the train route has been processed, and an unlocked status indicating that the track is not in use. The real-time train information includes: train number, train number attribute, and current train location; the train number attribute includes: passenger car, freight car, single unit; the train number is used to identify each train. The train schedule information reflects the operations that the train needs to complete at this station, including: schedule information ID, train number, train number attribute, and operation information of this platform; the operation information of this platform indicates the operation content that the train needs to perform, including: the train's arrival attributes (including: arrival, departure, arrival-departure, and passage), the train's entrance and exit numbers, and the track numbers used for the train to receive, depart, stop, or pass through. The aforementioned positions are responsible for train operations within the corresponding stations; the associated positions are the train operations that a train may need to complete within the station; each associated position corresponds to a type of information, which includes: the train number attribute and operation function of the associated position; the operation function includes: a control area containing entrance number, exit number, and track number, and station operation operations corresponding to the train's arrival attribute; the station operation operations include: receiving operations corresponding to "terminal arrival", originating and departing operations corresponding to "originating", arriving and departing operations corresponding to "arrival and departure", and stopping and departing operations for trains with an arrival attribute of "through" but stopping at this platform.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the train schedule information of a certain train is sent to the field equipment 2 through the backend server 11 and the station communication server 12, the control module of the field equipment 2 will update the train schedule information it stores according to the schedule information number of the train schedule information, and use the train schedule information that needs to be updated as the train schedule information to be arranged. (See also...) Figure 4The control module of the field equipment 2 identifies all associated positions within the station for the train based on the train number in the train schedule information. Then, based on the train number attribute and platform operation information in the scheduled train schedule information, it searches for the corresponding position 21 to be operated from the type information of all associated positions, enabling the position 21 to complete the operation specified in the train schedule information (see...). Figure 5 In one embodiment, after the field equipment 2 locates the corresponding work station 21 to be operated, the indicator light corresponding to the work station 21 on its control panel lights up, making it convenient for personnel to complete the work of the work station 21.

[0042] See Figure 6 The backend server 11 receives real-time train information and station route status, and sends this information to the signal transmission module of the field equipment 2. The control module of the field equipment 2 determines whether the train meets the execution conditions of its corresponding operational post 21 based on the station route status, the train number in the real-time train information, and the train's position. When the train is within the control area of ​​the operational post 21, and the train's station route status (i.e., the station route status corresponding to the track number in the train schedule information) is "locked," the train meets the execution conditions of the operational post 21. At this time, the control module of the field equipment 2 generates a reminder operation message to remind the personnel at the field equipment 2 to control the operational post 21 to complete the train operation. Personnel operate the control panel, causing the control panel of the field equipment 2 to receive feedback information reflecting the operational status of the operational post 21, thus completing the operation of the operational post. Furthermore, the signal transmission module of the field equipment 2 can send feedback information to the station communication server 12, and the back-end server 11 controls the station communication server 12 to send the feedback information to the duty officer terminal 13.

[0043] Also see Figure 7 The control module of the field equipment 2 is equipped with an operation time threshold to prevent the operation position 21 from failing to complete its work for an extended period (i.e., exceeding the operation time threshold) after the train reaches the execution conditions. When the operation position 21 of the field equipment 2 still has not started work after the operation time threshold has been exceeded, the control module of the field equipment 2 will generate an alarm message, which will be sent to the station communication server 12 by the signal transmission module. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to send the alarm message to the duty officer terminal 13, reminding the personnel at the duty officer terminal 13 to complete the work of the operation position 21 in a timely manner. Upon receiving the alarm message, the duty officer terminal will receive and record feedback information from the outside world and send this feedback information to the station communication server 12. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to send this feedback information to the control panel of the field equipment 2, enabling the operation position 21 to complete its work.

[0044] Furthermore, when the work is completed at the waiting position 21, the duty officer terminal 13 can record the reminder operation information sent by the field equipment 2 to the waiting position 21, and record the feedback information; and the duty officer terminal 13 records the reminder operation information and feedback information to the log of the waiting position 21.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the log of the job to be operated 21 can be shared to the backend server 11 through the station communication server 12, so that the backend server 11 can obtain the operation status (i.e. feedback information) of the job to be operated 21 in a timely manner.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the reminder operation information received by the personnel at the duty officer terminal 13 and the field equipment 2 is in the form of a broadcast.

[0047] In addition, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, this invention also provides a method for assisting train reception and dispatch based on work scheduling, applied to the aforementioned system. The method involves obtaining, through a backend server, station route status reflecting track occupancy, real-time train information including train position, and train plan information reflecting the tasks the train needs to complete at the station. The station route status includes locked and unlocked states. The backend server sends the station route status, real-time train information, and train plan information to the field equipment via a station communication server, causing the field equipment to update its stored train plan information and use the updated train plan information as the train plan information to be scheduled. The field equipment locates the corresponding operational position for the tasks the train needs to complete at the station based on the train plan information to be scheduled; and determines whether the train meets the execution conditions of the operational position based on the station route status and real-time train information. After the train meets the execution conditions of the operational position, the field equipment generates a reminder operation message. The execution conditions for the operational position are: the station route status corresponding to the train is locked, and the train position is within the control area of ​​the operational position.

[0048] The specific operation steps of the method described in this invention include: Step 1: The backend server 11 enables the field equipment 2 to obtain train plan information, updates the train plan information stored in the field equipment 2 according to the plan information ID, and confirms the train plan information to be arranged.

[0049] For details, see Figure 4 The planning terminal 4 obtains the latest train plan information and sequentially controls the station communication server 12 through the background server 11 to send the latest train plan information to the field equipment 2.

[0050] The field equipment 2 reads the plan information ID from the latest train plan information and compares it with the plan information ID stored in the train plan information.

[0051] If the train plan ID in the latest train plan information is inconsistent with the train plan ID in the stored train plan information, then the train plan information is stored in the field equipment 2, marked as train plan information to be arranged, and the process jumps to step 2.

[0052] If the plan information ID in the latest train plan information is consistent with the plan information ID in the stored train plan information, then the field equipment 2 will compare the train number, train number attribute, and operation information of this platform in the latest train plan information with the stored train plan information.

[0053] If the train number, train number attribute, and platform operation information in the latest train plan information are inconsistent with those in the stored train plan information, then the stored train plan information will be updated using the latest train plan information, and the train plan information will be marked as train plan information to be arranged, and then the process will proceed to step 2.

[0054] If the latest train schedule information is completely consistent with the stored train schedule information, the stored train schedule information will not be updated, and all operations will be terminated.

[0055] Step 2: The field equipment 2 searches for all associated positions corresponding to the train based on the train number in the train schedule information to be arranged.

[0056] For details, please see Figure 5 The field equipment 2 stores the associated positions corresponding to each train (i.e., train number). When the field equipment 2 obtains the train schedule information to be arranged, it will search for all associated positions corresponding to the train based on the train number in the train schedule information to be arranged.

[0057] The associated positions are used to perform operations that the train may need to complete on the platform.

[0058] Step 3: The field equipment 2 searches for the corresponding operational position from the associated positions based on the train number attribute in the train schedule information to be arranged and the operation information of this platform.

[0059] For details, please see Figure 5The field equipment 2 reads the train number attribute and the operation information of this platform (i.e., the train's entrance and exit numbers, and the track numbers used for train reception, departure, stopping, or passage) from the train schedule information to be arranged, and compares them with the train number attribute and operation function (i.e., the control area containing the entrance number, exit number, and track number) in the type information of all related positions, in order to find the related positions that match the train schedule information to be arranged, and marks the related positions as the positions to be operated 21, so that the track numbers, entrance numbers, and exit numbers in the operation information of this platform are all located in the control area of ​​the positions to be operated 21.

[0060] Furthermore, the field equipment 2 resets the working status of all associated positions corresponding to the train. The working status includes: an execution status indicating that the associated position has met the execution conditions and can control the train operation; a standby status indicating that the associated position can control the train operation after meeting the execution conditions; and a locked status indicating that the train operation cannot be controlled.

[0061] Please see Figure 5 When the working status of the associated positions is reset in the field equipment 2, the working status of the position to be operated 21 is set to the ready-to-operate state, and the working status of the other associated positions is set to the locked state.

[0062] Step 4, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Repeat steps 1-3 to iterate through all train schedule information received by field equipment 2 to obtain the corresponding job position 21 for each train schedule information.

[0063] Step 5: Field equipment 2 receives real-time train information and station route status, and determines whether the train meets the conditions for operation by the waiting post 21.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the field equipment 2 receives real-time train information and station route status forwarded by the station communication server 12, and searches for the train number and position in the real-time train information. Based on the train number in the real-time train information, the field equipment 2 determines the train plan information corresponding to the train number, and then obtains the pending operation position 21 corresponding to the train plan information; based on the train position in the real-time train information, the field equipment 2 determines whether the train meets the execution conditions of the pending operation position 21.

[0065] The execution conditions are: the station route status corresponding to the train (track number in the train schedule information to be arranged) is "locked" and the train position is within the control area of ​​the operation post 21.

[0066] When the train reaches the execution conditions of the waiting operation post 21, that is, the station route status corresponding to the track number in the train schedule information is "locked" (i.e., the signal of the train route displays a specific permission light to inform the driver that the train can enter the train route), and the train position is within the control area of ​​the waiting operation post 21, at this time, the field equipment 2 generates a reminder operation information and jumps to step 6.

[0067] If the train does not meet the execution conditions of the waiting operation post 21, then step 4 is repeated so that the field equipment 2 continues to receive real-time train information and station route status until the train meets the execution conditions of the waiting operation post 21.

[0068] Step 6: The field equipment 2 enters the standby state, reminding personnel to complete the work of the standby position in a timely manner.

[0069] An operation time threshold is set in the field equipment 2 to prevent the train from not performing operations for an extended period of time after reaching the execution conditions of the waiting position 21.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, after the train reaches the execution conditions of the waiting position 21, the field equipment 2 generates a reminder operation information and sends it to the station communication server 12. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to send the reminder operation information to the duty officer terminal 13. The field equipment 2 starts timing to remind the personnel at the field equipment 2 to click the button corresponding to the waiting position 21 to complete the operation of the waiting position 21. At this time, the field equipment 2 will receive feedback information reflecting the execution status of the waiting position 21 and send the feedback information to the station communication server 12 to send the feedback information to the duty officer terminal 13.

[0071] When the task to be performed 21 is completed within the operation time threshold (i.e., the personnel click the button corresponding to the task to be performed 21 on the field equipment 2), the working state of the task to be performed 21 changes from the waiting state to the execution state, and the timer of the field equipment 2 stops and is reset to zero.

[0072] When the work at the pending position 21 is not completed within the specified time threshold, the position remains in a pending state. The field equipment 2 generates an alarm and sends it to the station communication server 12. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to forward the alarm to the duty officer terminal 13, reminding the staff at the duty officer terminal 13 to complete the work at the pending position 21. Upon receiving the alarm, the duty officer terminal receives and records feedback information and sends it to the station communication server 12. The backend server 11 then controls the station communication server 12 to forward this feedback information to the field equipment 2, changing the working status of the pending position 21 from pending to executing. Simultaneously, the timer on the field equipment 2 is reset.

[0073] Furthermore, after the work is completed at the waiting position 21, the duty officer terminal 13 records the reminder operation information sent by the field equipment 2 to the waiting position 21, and records the feedback information; and the duty officer terminal 13 records the reminder operation information and feedback information to the log of the waiting position 21.

[0074] Step 7: Repeat steps 5-6 to complete the work of each work station 21 based on the real-time information of the train.

[0075] In summary, the method of this invention establishes signal transmission between field equipment and the back-end server through a station communication server, enabling the field equipment to receive train schedule information and real-time train information. Based on the train schedule information, it then locates the operational positions from the train's associated positions. Furthermore, based on the real-time train information, it determines whether the train meets the execution conditions for the operational positions, thus completing the tasks assigned to those positions. This provides field equipment with more efficient and accurate information, assisting duty officers in notifying field personnel of their work assignments by phone, achieving fully automated arrangement of field operations throughout the entire train arrival and departure process, and improving operational efficiency.
