Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to rail transit signaling systems, and more particularly to a Cycle and Fleet route management method, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of urban rail transit technology in my country, signaling systems are also constantly iterating and innovating. Compared to the current mainstream Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system, which consists of Zone Controllers (ZC), Computer Interlocking (CI), Automatic Train Supervision (ATS), and onboard controllers, the CBTC system, based on integrated interlocking and train control, integrates the functions of ZC and interlocking equipment to achieve trackside integration. While reducing trackside equipment, it can improve turnaround efficiency through refined management of trackside resources such as switches and sections, making it one of the main development trends of current urban rail signaling systems.

[0003] During normal system operation, the ATS subsystem automatically sends route processing commands to the trackside integrated equipment based on the current train operation plan. The trackside integrated equipment then allocates track resources to the trains based on the received route processing commands from the ATS and the resource status on the track, ensuring safe train operation. However, when the ATS malfunctions or communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is interrupted, and the trackside integrated equipment cannot obtain the train operation plan, the trains may not be able to operate normally. Furthermore, when the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, manual route processing is required for each train. This method involves a large amount of manual work and may also lead to problems such as untimely route processing affecting train operation.

[0004] A search revealed a method for controlling permanent routes in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111452836A. Specifically, this method involves designating commonly used routes on the line as permanent routes. Route processing is triggered when the system is online or when manual processing is performed. Since permanent routes are not unlocked after establishment and are not used during train operation, turnaround routes on the line will not be configured as permanent routes. When the trackside integrated equipment cannot obtain the operation plan due to communication interruption with the ATS or ATS malfunction, the turnaround route will not be automatically processed, and the train cannot operate normally.

[0005] Therefore, how to automatically activate the corresponding route mode when the ATS fails or the communication between the trackside integrated equipment and the ATS is interrupted, so as to meet the emergency operation requirements under the ATS failure and maintain the basic operation of the entire line, has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a Cycle and Fleet route management method, device and medium.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for managing Cycle and Fleet routes is provided, wherein the Cycle route is an automatic turnaround route and the Fleet route is an automatic through route, the management method comprising: Step S1: Based on operational needs, pre-configure routes that meet operational requirements with automatic triggering of Fleet or Cycle route modes. In step S2, when the trackside integrated equipment is initialized, all routes within its jurisdiction are in a mode-free state. Step S3: When the ATS fails or the communication between the trackside integrated equipment and the ATS is interrupted, all pre-configured route modes within the jurisdiction are automatically triggered, and steps S4 and S5 are executed respectively. Step S4: Determine whether the activation conditions of the Fleet route mode are met, configure the routes that meet the activation conditions as Fleet route mode, and automatically establish Fleet routes; Step S5: Determine whether the activation conditions of the Cycle route mode are met, configure the routes that meet the activation conditions as Cycle route modes, and automatically establish Cycle routes.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the automatically triggered routes configured in step S1 are mutually independent, and existing routes can be set to Fleet route mode.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, in step S3, after the Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated, it is checked whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If the Fleet route is established and locked, and the Fleet route does not unlock as the train runs.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, in step S4, a set of Cycle routes includes an inbound route and a corresponding outbound route. The inbound route is processed automatically first, followed by the corresponding outbound route. After the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is activated, it checks whether the locking condition of the corresponding turn-in route is met. If the locking condition of the turn-in route is met, the turn-in route is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-in route area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key turnout, the turn-out route in the Cycle route is automatically established. The turn-in route and the turn-out route are unlocked according to the train's running sequence. The key turnout is the turnout included in the overlapping part of the turn-in route and the turn-out route.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the establishment of the Cycle path includes: When the configuration requires triggering for Cycle route establishment, the trackside integrated equipment will trigger the corresponding route according to the Cycle route mode when all sections within the first route are free and the train enters the trigger section. If the Cycle path creation is configured not to be triggered, the creation of the corresponding path will be triggered immediately when all segments within the first path are idle.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the first route is the turn-in route in the automatic turn-back route.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the management method also includes: Step A1: When the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or in emergency station control mode, manually process the Fleet route. Step A2: After receiving the manual command to process a Fleet route, the trackside integrated equipment determines whether the activation conditions for the Fleet route mode are met. If they are met, proceed to step A3; otherwise, no operation is performed. Step A3: The Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated, and it is further determined whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If it is met, the Fleet route is established and locked.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the management method also includes: Step B1: When the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or in emergency station control mode, manually process the Cycle route. Step B2: After receiving the command to manually process the Cycle route, the trackside integrated equipment determines whether the activation conditions of the Cycle route mode are met. If they are met, proceed to step B3; otherwise, no operation is performed. Step B3: The Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is activated, and it is further determined whether the locking conditions of the corresponding turn-in route and turn-out route are met. If the conditions are met, the turn-in route is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-in route area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key turnout, the turn-out route in the Cycle route is automatically established. The turn-in route and the turn-out route are unlocked according to the train's running sequence. The key turnout is the turnout included in the overlapping part of the turn-in route and the turn-out route.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the management method also includes: Step C1: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, the Fleet route mode can be manually canceled when the route can be processed according to the operation plan. Step C2: After receiving the command to cancel the Fleet route mode, the integrated trackside equipment cancels the Fleet route mode for the corresponding route, while the locking status of the route remains unchanged. Step C3: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, and the route can be processed according to the operation plan, the Cycle route mode can be manually canceled. In step C4, after the trackside integrated equipment receives the command to cancel the Cycle route mode, the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is canceled, and the locking status of the route remains unchanged.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the management method also includes: Step D1: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, the route can be manually unlocked according to the operation plan. Step D2: After receiving a manual unlocking command, if the corresponding route is not in a near-locked state, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled and the route is immediately unlocked. In step D3, after the trackside integrated equipment receives a manual unlocking command for the route, if the corresponding route is close to being locked, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled, and the route is unlocked after a delay.

[0017] According to a second aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the program to implement the method described thereon.

[0018] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described thereon.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1) When the ATS fails or the integrated trackside equipment loses communication with the ATS, the present invention automatically establishes the route range and route mode according to the pre-set and operational requirements, automatically activates the corresponding route mode, and automatically triggers the handling of Fleet and Cycle routes through Fleet and Cycle route modes, which are automatic through routes and automatic turnaround routes, respectively, to meet the emergency operation requirements under ATS failure, maintain the basic operation of the entire line, and improve the resilience of the system. 2) After the integrated trackside equipment and ATS communication are restored, and the current ATS operation plan is restored, the Cycle and Fleet route modes on the line are manually canceled to avoid potential conflicts between routes automatically triggered by the route mode and routes triggered by ATS according to the operation plan. 3) In station control or emergency station control modes, without an operational plan, the present invention allows for the manual setting and cancellation of Cycle and Fleet route modes. The route mode automatically triggers Cycle and Fleet routes, reducing manual operation and ensuring normal train operation. Specifically, once a Fleet route is established and locked, it does not unlock as the train moves. The Fleet route protection signal automatically reopens after the signal opening conditions are met. The Cycle route locks after the route locking conditions are met and unlocks as the train moves. 4) This invention adopts a more flexible management method for turnaround routes and switches. By authorizing the following train to enter the route in advance when multiple trains are tracking each other, and by activating the switches in advance according to the precise position of the train, the overall turnaround time is shortened and the turnaround efficiency is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the Fleet and Cycle route management process of this invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the specific control process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] This invention proposes a Cycle and Fleet route management method. In the event of an ATS malfunction or communication interruption between the trackside integrated equipment and the ATS, the method automatically assigns routes to trains using Cycle and Fleet route modes, maintaining basic operation of the entire line. In the absence of a scheduled operation, the Cycle and Fleet route modes can be manually set and canceled, automatically triggering Cycle and Fleet routes to ensure normal train operation.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a Cycle and Fleet route management method, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Based on operational needs, pre-configure automatically triggered Fleet or Cycle route modes for routes that meet operational requirements; Step S2: Initially, all routes within the jurisdiction of the integrated trackside equipment are in a mode-free state; Step S3: Communication between the trackside integrated equipment and the local ATS is interrupted, which will automatically trigger all pre-configured route modes within the jurisdiction and execute steps S4 and S7. Step S4: Check whether the route mode activation conditions of the route that needs to be set in step S3 are met. If the conditions are met, proceed to step S5. Step S5: If the Fleet route mode activation condition of the corresponding route in step S4 is met, the Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated. Check whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If the condition is met, proceed to step S6. Step S6: If the locking condition of the route corresponding to step S5 is met, the Fleet route is established and locked. The Fleet route does not unlock as the train runs, that is, it does not unlock after the train has sequentially occupied and cleared all sections, and the signal will automatically reopen after the signal opening condition is met; Step S7: A set of turnaround routes includes one turn-in route and one corresponding turn-out route. For Cycle routes, the turn-in route is processed automatically first, followed by the corresponding turn-out route. Check whether the route mode activation conditions for the routes that need to be set in Cycle route mode in Step S3 are met. If the conditions are met, proceed to Step S8. Step S8: If the Cycle route mode activation condition of the route corresponding to step S7 is met, the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is activated. Check whether the locking conditions of the corresponding turn-in route and turn-out route are met. If the conditions are met, proceed to step S9. Step S9: If the locking condition of the turn-in route in step S8 is met, the turn-in route is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-out route area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key switch, the turn-out route in the Cycle route is automatically established. The turn-in route and the turn-out route are unlocked according to the train's running sequence.

[0024] Preferably, the automatically triggered paths configured in step S1 are not mutually exclusive; Preferably, a Fleet route mode can be set for existing routes.

[0025] Preferably, there are two ways to establish a Cycle route in step S8. When the Cycle route establishment is configured to require triggering, the trackside integrated system should trigger the corresponding route according to the Cycle route mode when all sections within the first route (i.e., the turn-in route in the automatic turn-back route) are free and the train enters the trigger section. If the Cycle route establishment is configured not to require triggering, the corresponding route will be triggered immediately when all sections within the first route are free.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes: Step S10: Manually process Fleet routes when the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or manually process Fleet routes in emergency station control mode; Step S11: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment checks whether the route that needs to be set to Fleet route mode in step S10 meets the route mode activation conditions. If the conditions are met, proceed to step S12. Step 12: If the Fleet route mode activation condition of the corresponding route in step S11 is met, the Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated. Check whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If the condition is met, proceed to step S13. Step S13: If the locking condition of the route corresponding to step S12 is met, the Fleet route is established and locked. The Fleet route does not unlock as the train runs, that is, it does not unlock after the train has sequentially occupied and cleared all sections, and the signal will automatically reopen after the signal opening condition is met; Step S14: Manually set the Cycle route when the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or manually set the Cycle route in emergency station control mode; Step S15: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment checks whether the activation conditions of the route mode that needs to be set in step S14 are met. If the conditions are met, proceed to step S16. Step 16: If the Cycle route mode activation condition of the route corresponding to step S15 is met, the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is activated. Check whether the locking conditions of the corresponding turn-in route and turn-out route are met. If the conditions are met, proceed to step S17. Step 17: If the locking condition of the turn-in route in step S16 is met, the turn-in route is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-out route area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key switch, the turn-out route in the Cycle route is automatically established. The turn-in route and the turn-out route are unlocked according to the train's running sequence.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes: Step S18: Communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored. Route can be processed according to the operation plan, or the Fleet route mode can be manually cancelled after completing step S13. Step S19: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment cancels the Fleet route mode of the corresponding route, while the locking status of the route remains unchanged; Step S20: Communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored. Routes can be processed according to the operation plan, or the Cycle route mode can be manually cancelled after completing step S17. Step S21: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment cancels the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route, while the locking status of the route remains unchanged. In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes: Step S22: Communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored. The route can be unlocked manually when the route is processed according to the operation plan, or after completing step S13 or step S17. Step S23: After receiving a manual unlocking command, if the corresponding route is not in a near-locked state, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled and the route is immediately unlocked. Step S24: After the trackside integrated equipment receives the manual unlocking route command, if the corresponding route configuration is close to being locked, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled, and the route is unlocked after a delay. Specific Implementation like Figure 2 As shown, the Cycle and Fleet route management method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S1: According to operational requirements, configure non-return routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 as Fleet routes, and configure return routes X3-X1, X1-X4, X3-X2, and X2-X4 as Cycle routes. Routes configured in Fleet and Cycle modes will be automatically triggered when communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is interrupted. Once the corresponding route mode is activated, route establishment will be automatically triggered. Step S2: After the system starts, all routes on the line are in a no-route mode, including the routes in step S1; Step S3: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is interrupted, the Fleet route mode of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 is automatically triggered, and the Cycle route mode of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 is automatically triggered. Step S4: Check whether routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 meet the conditions for activating Fleet route mode; Step S5: If the activation conditions of the Fleet route mode of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 in step S4 are met (such as the route locking condition is met, the hostile route is not established, the hostile Cycle route is not entered, etc.), the Fleet route mode of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 is activated. After the Fleet route mode of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 is activated, the establishment process of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 is automatically triggered, and the locking condition of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 is checked. Step S6: If the locking conditions of routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 in step S5 are met (such as whether hostility has been established or not), routes X4-X6 and X5-X3 are established and locked, and X4-X6 and X5-X3 do not unlock as the train moves. The starting signals X4 and X5 of the routes will automatically reopen after the signal opening conditions are met. Step S7: Check whether routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 meet the conditions for activating Cycle route mode; Step S8: If the activation conditions for the Cycle route mode corresponding to Step S7 are met (e.g., no opposing routes for the turn-in and turn-back routes are established, no opposing Cycle routes are established, etc.), then the Cycle route modes for routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 are activated. If a trigger section is configured for the Cycle route, when a train enters the trigger section of the turn-in route X3-X1 or X3-X2, the establishment of the turn-in route X3-X1 is triggered. If no trigger section is configured for the Cycle route, the establishment of the turn-in route X3-X1 is triggered as soon as the Cycle mode of the route is activated. Check whether the locking conditions for the turn-in route X3-X1 are met. Step S9: If the locking conditions of the turning-in route X3-X1 in step S8 are met (the opposing route X3-X2 is not established, and the switches P2 and P1 can be moved to the specified positions, etc.), the turning-in route X3-X1 is established and locked. When the train passes through the turning-out route area and the departing train leaves the movable area of ​​the key switch P1, the turning-out route X1-X4 is automatically established. When the locking conditions of the X1-X4 route are met, X1-X4 is established and locked, and the routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 are unlocked according to the train running sequence.

[0029] Step S10: When the ATS communicates normally with the trackside integrated equipment, and the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in the station control mode, manually process the Fleet route X4-X6; Step S11: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment checks whether the Fleet route mode activation conditions of routes X4-X6 in step S10 are met. Step S12: If the Fleet route activation condition of route X4-X6 in step S11 is met, the Fleet route mode of X4-X6 is activated, and check whether the locking condition of route X4-X6 is met. Step S13: If the locking conditions of route X4-X6 in step S12 are met, route X4-X6 is established and locked. Route X4-X6 is not unlocked as the train runs. Its starting signal X4 automatically opens the signal after the signal opening conditions are met. Step S14: When the ATS communicates normally with the trackside integrated equipment, and the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in the station control mode, manually process the Cycle route X3-X1, X1-X4. Step S15: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment checks whether the Cycle mode activation conditions of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 in step S14 are met. Step S16: If the activation conditions of the Cycle route mode of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 in step S15 are met, the Cycle route mode of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 is activated. Check whether the route locking condition of the turnaround route X3-X1 is met. Step S17: If the locking condition of the turn-in route X3-X1 in step S16 is met, X3-X1 is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-in area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key turnout P1, the turn-out route X1-X4 is automatically established. When the locking condition of the route X1-X4 is met, X1-X4 is established and locked. Routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 are unlocked according to the train's running sequence.

[0030] Step S18: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, and routes can be processed according to the operation plan, the Fleet route mode of routes X4-X6 can be manually cancelled. Step S19: After receiving the command, the integrated trackside equipment cancels the Fleet route mode of route X4-X6, while the locking status of X4-X6 remains unchanged. Step S20: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, and routes can be processed according to the operation plan, the Cycle route mode of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4 can be manually cancelled. Step S21: After receiving the command, the trackside integrated equipment maintains the Cycle route mode of routes X3-X1 and X1-X4, and the locking state of X3-X1 and X1-X4 remains unchanged. Step S22: Manually unlock routes X4-X6 after completing step S13 or step S17; Step S23: After the trackside integrated equipment receives the manual unlocking route command, the train does not enter the approach section of route X4-X6. At this time, route X4-X6 does not form an approach lock, the Fleet route mode of the route is canceled, and the route is immediately unlocked. Step S24: After the trackside integrated equipment receives the manual unlocking route command, the train has entered the approach section of route X4-X6. At this time, route X4-X6 forms an approach lock, the Fleet route mode of this route is canceled, and route X4-X6 is unlocked after a delay. The above is an introduction to the method embodiments.

The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S3, after the Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated, it is checked whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If the condition is met, the Fleet route is established and locked, and the Fleet route does not unlock as the train runs.

4. The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The first route is the turn-in route in the automatic turn-back route.

5. The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, This management approach also includes: Step A1: When the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or in emergency station control mode, manually process the Fleet route. Step A2: After receiving the manual command to process a Fleet route, the trackside integrated equipment determines whether the activation conditions for the Fleet route mode are met. If they are met, proceed to step A3; otherwise, no operation is performed. Step A3: The Fleet route mode of the corresponding route is activated, and it is further determined whether the Fleet route locking condition is met. If it is met, the Fleet route is established and locked.

6. The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, This management approach also includes: Step B1: When the station ATS does not obtain the operation plan in station control mode, or in emergency station control mode, manually process the Cycle route. Step B2: After receiving the command to manually process the Cycle route, the trackside integrated equipment determines whether the activation conditions of the Cycle route mode are met. If they are met, proceed to step B3; otherwise, no operation is performed. Step B3: The Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is activated, and it is further determined whether the locking conditions of the corresponding turn-in route and turn-out route are met. If the conditions are met, the turn-in route is established and locked. When the train passes through the turn-in route area and leaves the movable area of ​​the key switch, the turn-out route in the Cycle route is automatically established. The turn-in route and turn-out route are unlocked according to the train's running sequence.

7. The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, This management approach also includes: Step C1: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, the Fleet route mode can be manually canceled when the route can be processed according to the operation plan. Step C2: After receiving the command to cancel the Fleet route mode, the integrated trackside equipment cancels the Fleet route mode for the corresponding route, while the locking status of the route remains unchanged. Step C3: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, and the route can be processed according to the operation plan, the Cycle route mode can be manually canceled. In step C4, after the trackside integrated equipment receives the command to cancel the Cycle route mode, the Cycle route mode of the corresponding route is canceled, and the locking status of the route remains unchanged.

8. The Cycle and Fleet route management method according to claim 1, characterized in that, This management approach also includes: Step D1: When communication between the ATS and the trackside integrated equipment is restored, the route can be manually unlocked according to the operation plan. Step D2: After receiving a manual unlocking command, if the corresponding route is not in a near-locked state, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled and the route is immediately unlocked. In step D3, after the trackside integrated equipment receives a manual unlocking command for the route, if the corresponding route is close to being locked, the Fleet or Cycle route mode of that route is canceled, and the route is unlocked after a delay.

9. An electronic device comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, characterized in that, When the processor executes the program, it implements the method as described in any one of claims 1 to 8.
