Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to train dispatching technology, and in particular to a method, automatic control unit, storage medium, and electronic equipment for protecting against conflicts between enterprise-owned cars and trains in a CTC system. Background Technology

[0002] According to Article 7 of the "Safety Regulations for Enterprise-Owned Locomotives Operating at National Railway Connection Stations", when receiving and dispatching trains at national railway connection stations, lines without separation equipment or derailers from the train's route are not allowed to connect to trains and shunting wagons operated by enterprise-owned locomotives (excluding locomotives undertaking traction tasks on national railway lines) in the direction that can enter the train's route.

[0003] The CTC (Centralized Train Control) system is a remote control and signaling system where train dispatchers centrally control and monitor the signaling equipment of each station within their jurisdiction, and uniformly dispatch and direct train operations. Currently, the CTC system lacks information on company-owned rolling stock; identification of company-owned rolling stock relies on manual judgment, as does determining whether company-owned rolling stock might conflict with train routes. In complex station layouts, manual analysis requires significant time to study the routes of company-owned rolling stock, hindering operational planning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method, automatic control unit, storage medium, and electronic device for protecting against conflicts between enterprise-owned vehicles and trains in a CTC system. It can automatically identify the routes of enterprise-owned vehicles, judge and warn of conflicts between them and train routes, effectively improve dispatching efficiency, and ensure train operation safety.

[0005] One technical solution of the present invention is to provide a method for protecting against conflicts between enterprise-owned cars and trains in a CTC system; Among them, the CTC system's self-regulatory mechanism determines whether the current train that meets the trigger timing is a company-owned vehicle; If the current train is not a company-owned train, the self-regulatory machine checks whether the current train route conflicts with the route of the company-owned train that has been processed. If there is no conflict, the current train route is automatically triggered. If there is a conflict, an alarm is triggered. If the current train is a company-owned train, the self-regulatory machine checks whether the current company-owned train route conflicts with the already processed train route. If there is no conflict, the current company-owned train route is automatically triggered; if there is a conflict, an alarm is triggered.

[0006] Optionally, the self-regulatory machine checks whether the route start signal handled by the current train is a route start signal for a company-owned vehicle to determine whether the current train is a company-owned vehicle.

[0007] Optionally, the autonomous machine checks the route start signal for the current train trip based on the enterprise-owned vehicle route start signal described in its software configuration file.

[0008] Optionally, when the autonomous machine checks whether the current train route conflicts with the already processed enterprise-owned train route, the already processed enterprise-owned train includes all routes marked as the starting signal of the enterprise-owned train route with currently open signals.

[0009] Optionally, when the self-regulatory machine checks whether the current enterprise-owned vehicle route conflicts with the already processed train routes, the already processed train routes include all train routes in the route sequence that have been processed.

[0010] Optionally, when checking whether the current train route conflicts with the already processed enterprise-owned vehicle route, or when checking whether the current enterprise-owned vehicle route conflicts with the already processed train route, the self-regulatory machine performs a logical judgment on whether the enterprise-owned vehicle route conflicts with the train route. The logical judgment includes the following process: Determine whether the current route is a route for the company's own vehicles; if the current route is not a route for the company's own vehicles, then re-determine whether the other obtained route is a route for the company's own vehicles. If the current route is the company's own vehicle route, then search for the locking device along the current terminal of the company's own vehicle route, according to the current station layout; If there is no locking device, output a logic judgment result with no conflict in the output path; If there is a locking device belonging to another path, output a logic judgment result indicating that there is a conflict between the paths; If there is a locking device that does not belong to another path, then output a logic judgment result indicating that there is no conflict in the output path.

[0011] Optionally, the self-regulatory machine determines whether the current route is a route for the company's own vehicles based on the starting signal of the route for the company's own vehicles as described in its software configuration file. If the starting signal of the route for the current train is a route opened at the starting point by the company's own vehicle route signal, then the current route is the company's own vehicle route. If the starting signal of the route for the current train is a route opened by another signal, then the current route is not a route for company-owned vehicles.

[0012] Optionally, for train routes that are automatically triggered or routes for company-owned vehicles, the automatic control machine sends the route triggering message to the interlocking system for execution.

[0013] Optionally, before determining whether the current train is a company-owned vehicle, the self-regulatory machine checks the triggering timing of each train in the route sequence by polling the route sequence to determine whether the current train meets the triggering timing. If the current train meets the triggering conditions, then it is further determined whether it is a company-owned vehicle; If the current train does not meet the triggering time, the polling check of the route sequence will continue.

[0014] Optionally, the autonomous machine parses the train plan it receives, generates a route sequence corresponding to the train plan, and performs polling checks on the route sequence; the train plan is compiled in the CTC system.

[0015] Another technical solution of the present invention is to provide an autonomous machine; the autonomous machine is used in any of the above-mentioned methods for protecting enterprise-owned vehicles from collisions with trains in a CTC system; The autonomous machine is used to perform the following operations: Determine whether the current train that meets the triggering criteria is a company-owned vehicle; Check whether the current train route conflicts with the approved route for the company's own rolling stock, or check whether the current train route for the company's own rolling stock conflicts with the approved train route. Automatically trigger train routes that currently meet the triggering time and have no conflicts, or automatically trigger enterprise-owned train routes that currently meet the triggering time and have no conflicts; An alarm will be triggered when there is a conflict between the train's route and the company's own vehicle route.

[0016] Optionally, the software configuration file of the self-regulatory machine describes the starting signal of the route for the company's own vehicles; the self-regulatory machine is used to check the starting signal of the route for the current train through the described starting signal of the route for the company's own vehicles, so as to determine whether the current train is a company's own vehicle, or to determine whether the current route is a route for the company's own vehicles.

[0017] Optionally, the self-regulatory machine is also used to make a logical judgment on whether the enterprise's self-owned vehicle route conflicts with the train route; wherein, the self-regulatory machine is used to search for locking devices along the current enterprise self-owned vehicle route terminal according to the current station direction, and to determine whether the locking device exists and whether the locking device belongs to another route. Where there is no locking device, the automatic machine outputs a logic judgment result with no conflict in the path; When there is a locking device belonging to another path, the automatic machine outputs a logical judgment result indicating a path conflict; When there is a locking device that does not belong to another path, the automatic machine outputs a logic judgment result indicating that there is no path conflict.

[0018] Optionally, for train routes that are automatically triggered or routes owned by the company, the automatic control machine is also used to send route triggering messages to the interlocking system for execution.

[0019] Optionally, the autonomous machine is also used to receive train plans, parse the train plans, and generate corresponding route sequences; The autonomous machine is also used to poll the route sequence and determine whether the current train meets the triggering time by checking the triggering time of each train in the route sequence. The train schedule is compiled in the CTC system.

[0020] Another technical solution of the present invention is to provide a readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements any of the above-mentioned methods for protecting enterprise-owned cars and trains from conflict in a CTC system.

[0021] Another technical solution of the present invention is to provide an electronic device, the electronic device comprising: a memory and a processor; the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements any of the above-mentioned methods for protecting enterprise-owned cars and trains from conflict in a CTC system.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention are at least as follows: This invention can utilize the existing CTC system and, by modifying the software program of the autonomous machine, provide a simple, effective, and automatically executed solution for protecting against conflicts between enterprise-owned vehicles and trains. This eliminates the need for manual judgment and improves operational scheduling efficiency.

[0023] This invention allows for the pre-setting of the starting signal for the enterprise's own vehicle route in the software configuration file of the self-regulatory machine, and the identification of the enterprise's own vehicle route based on the starting signal.

[0024] The autonomous machine of the present invention can execute different route processing logic based on the judgment result of whether the route start signal of the current train is the route start signal of the company's own train.

[0025] In this invention, when processing the route of a company's own vehicle, if there is a conflict between the company's own vehicle route and the train route, an alarm will be triggered to remind the staff of the conflict so that relevant handling can be carried out in a timely manner to ensure driving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating the method for preventing conflicts between enterprise-owned vehicles and trains according to the present invention.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the logic for determining route conflicts for enterprise-owned vehicles in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] In the station subsystem of the CTC system, the autonomous machine serves as the control hub connecting the dispatch center and the station interlocking equipment. It includes computer control equipment and supporting software programs deployed in each station. It is responsible for receiving train plans from the dispatch center, parsing and performing logical calculations, and intelligently controlling the station interlocking equipment in conjunction with real-time station information.

[0029] This invention modifies the software configuration file of the self-regulatory machine to include the starting signal of the enterprise's own vehicle route into the scope of the self-regulatory machine's control and logical judgment, thereby realizing automatic identification, conflict verification, route processing and signal control of the enterprise's own vehicle route, providing an effective solution for conflict protection between enterprise's own vehicle and train.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preventing conflicts between enterprise-owned vehicles and trains, comprising the following steps: Step S101: Compile train plans in the CTC system; Step S102: The autonomous machine receives the train plan; Step S103: The autonomous machine parses the train plan and generates the corresponding route sequence; Step S104: The autonomous machine continuously polls the route sequence to check the triggering time of each train in the route sequence; Step S105: If the current train meets the triggering time, proceed to step S106; if the current train does not meet the triggering time, continue to step S104 to poll and check the route sequence. Step S106: Determine whether the train that meets the triggering time is a company-owned vehicle; Step S107: If the current train is not a company-owned vehicle, proceed to step S109; if the current train is a company-owned vehicle, proceed to step S108. Step S108: Check whether the current enterprise-owned vehicle route conflicts with the already processed train route, and proceed to step S110. Step S109: Check whether the current train route conflicts with the route of the company's own cars that has been processed, and proceed to step S110; Step S110: If there is no conflict, proceed to step S112; if there is a conflict, proceed to step S111. Step S111: Issue a pop-up alarm to remind staff that there is a conflict between the company's own vehicle route and the train route; Step S112: Automatically trigger the corresponding routes that meet the triggering time and do not conflict, and send the route triggering message to the interlocking system for execution; Step S113: The route is fully locked, the signal is opened, and the route triggering is completed.

[0031] In step S106, when determining whether a vehicle is owned by the company, the determination can be made based on the starting signal of the route for the current train. Therefore, the starting signal for the company-owned vehicle route needs to be pre-described in the software configuration file. Routes opened by this signal are company-owned vehicle routes, and all related trains are company-owned vehicles. Routes opened by other signals are not company-owned vehicle routes.

[0032] In step S108, the processed train routes should include all processed train routes in the route sequence. The relevant inspection process for whether there is a conflict between the company's own rolling stock and the processed train routes in step S108 can be further described by steps S201-S207 of the subsequent rolling stock route conflict judgment logic.

[0033] In step S109, the processed enterprise-owned vehicle routes should include all routes marked as the starting signal of an enterprise-owned vehicle route with currently open signals. The relevant inspection process for whether the current train conflicts with a processed enterprise-owned vehicle route in step S109 can also be further described by subsequent steps S201-S207 of the vehicle-owned vehicle route conflict judgment logic.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the logic for determining route conflicts for private vehicles includes the following steps: Step S201: Determine whether the current route is a route for the company's own vehicles; Step S202: If the current route is not a route for the company's own vehicles, obtain another route and repeat step S201; if the current route is a route for the company's own vehicles, execute step S203. Step S203: Search for locking devices along the current route of the company's own vehicles, following the current station layout. Step S204: If there is no locking device, proceed to step 207; if there is a locking device, proceed to step S205. Step S205: Determine whether the locking device belongs to another route. If it does not belong to another route, proceed to step 207; if it belongs to another route, proceed to step S206. Step S206: Output the logical judgment result of the path conflict; Step S207: Output the logical judgment result that there is no conflict in the path.

[0035] Similar to step S106, in step S201, when determining whether the current route is a company-owned vehicle route, the determination is also made by using the company-owned vehicle route starting signal described in the software configuration file. That is, if the starting signal of the route handled by the current train is a route where the company-owned vehicle route starting signal is open at the beginning, then it belongs to the company-owned vehicle route; while if the starting signal of the route handled by the current train is a route where the starting signal is open at the beginning, then it does not belong to the company-owned vehicle route.

[0036] The present invention also provides an autonomous machine for implementing the above-mentioned method for protecting enterprise-owned vehicles from conflicts with trains in a CTC system.

[0037] The present invention also provides a readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method for protecting enterprise-owned cars from collisions with trains in a CTC system.

[0038] The present invention also provides an electronic device, the electronic device including a memory and a processor; the memory stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, implements the above-described method for protecting enterprise-owned cars from collisions with trains in a CTC system.
