Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to rail transit signaling systems, and more particularly to an integrated control system, method, equipment, and medium for intelligent station automatic opening and closing based on signaling system train operation plans. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the inspection and operation related to the opening, closing, and cessation of service at urban rail transit stations employ relatively traditional methods. For systems such as the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system, station ventilation system, station lighting system, escalators / elevators, and entrance / exit roller shutters, a comprehensive monitoring system communicates with the AFC system and the Building Automation System (BAS) for environmental and equipment monitoring. The BAS system connects to the water supply and drainage, ventilation, escalator / elevator, lighting, and roller shutter systems to achieve hierarchical control and status monitoring of each device. Existing urban rail transit implementation plans install emergency control buttons and status indicator lights on the Integrated Backup Panel (IBP) in the station control room for equipment control and monitoring. This involves extensive cabling and a multi-node, hierarchical control process, resulting in high construction costs, difficult maintenance, and poor control response timeliness.

[0003] The existing technical solutions have the following drawbacks: Traditional station opening and closing control processes involve a hierarchical system, with the integrated monitoring system and lower-level systems sequentially powering on and off the controlled equipment. This approach has the following main drawbacks: 1) Existing station AFC, fresh air system, escalators / elevators, lighting, roller shutters and other equipment send control commands to the corresponding equipment through the integrated monitoring system or the station duty officer manually operates the corresponding equipment. The corresponding equipment control system realizes the start and stop control of the corresponding equipment. There are many command logic processing and transmission links, long delays and low linkage efficiency.

[0004] 2) The control commands for AFC equipment go through the integrated monitoring system → communication equipment → AFC system. The control commands for equipment such as fresh air system, escalator / elevator, lighting, and roller shutter door go through the integrated monitoring system → communication equipment → BAS system → remote control module → controlled equipment controller. The entire channel has many intermediate links and many fault nodes, which is not conducive to fault diagnosis and maintenance management.

[0005] 3) In the construction of urban rail projects, the signaling system, integrated monitoring system, and environmental monitoring system are independent sets, and the power supply equipment, monitoring equipment, etc. are all configured separately, resulting in high construction costs. Furthermore, the equipment is scattered, which is not conducive to centralized maintenance and increases operation and maintenance costs.

[0006] 4) Traditional control modes require the cooperation of multiple positions such as train dispatching, integrated monitoring and dispatching, and equipment dispatching to complete the control and status confirmation of related equipment. The opening and closing of stations are inefficient and lack coordination, which is not conducive to the construction of smart stations and efficient and intelligent control of train operations.

[0007] 5) For traditional AFC, fresh air system, escalator / elevator, lighting, roller shutter door and other system equipment, the control process is mostly implemented by hard wiring, PLC and other means to realize the power-on and power-off control of the system, which cannot be carried out for automated control and logic design aimed at providing services for vehicles.

[0008] 6) Traditional AFC, fresh air system, escalator / elevator, lighting, roller shutter door and other system equipment are relatively independent, and equipment alarm and maintenance information are scattered, which is not conducive to centralized management of equipment maintenance and intelligent analysis of equipment health of the entire operation and service system.

[0009] 7) Traditional control modes cannot achieve efficient and coordinated operation after train schedule adjustments in emergency scenarios, such as when a station experiences a power outage or fire and stops operating services, traditional control modes cannot achieve intelligent and precise control of station closure by automatically adjusting train schedules in real time to follow station services.

[0010] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110329319A, which discloses a fully automated operation system for smart urban rail transit. This system includes: a smart urban rail infrastructure layer (IaaS layer) comprising a production cloud, high-speed network, and big data processing, computing, and storage devices; a smart urban rail platform layer (PaaS layer) comprising a data center, real-time database, and plug-and-play soft bus; and a smart urban rail application layer (SaaS layer) comprising an intelligent dispatching subsystem, intelligent stations, intelligent depots, intelligent operation and maintenance subsystems, and driverless intelligent trains. This existing patent enhances the intelligence level of the center, stations, depots, and operation and maintenance management, aiming to achieve efficient operation dispatching, resource management, equipment maintenance, and passenger services. However, it does not integrate train schedules with station electromechanical equipment.

[0011] With the development of information and communication technologies, the integration and automation of urban rail transit signaling systems have gradually increased, and their functions have become increasingly powerful. This has improved train operation efficiency, reduced the workload of operators, and enhanced the overall automation level of station passenger services. How to thoroughly address the shortcomings of traditional station-supporting electromechanical equipment control processes, improve the overall operational service level, and enhance the reliability, safety, flexibility, and automation of equipment control to meet the collaborative control requirements of train operations has become a technical problem that needs to be solved.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] 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.

[0039] Example 1 This invention provides an integrated intelligent station automatic opening and closing control system based on the train operation plan of the signal system. The signal system directly controls and monitors the status of station electromechanical equipment (AFC, station escalators / elevators, fresh air equipment, low-voltage lighting, entrance and exit roller shutters, etc.) according to the train operation plan. This improves the automation level of station equipment control, system response time, ensures the safety and reliability of equipment control, reduces the labor intensity of staff, and reduces construction costs.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent station automatic switching integrated control system of the present invention includes the following subsystems and information interaction relationships: 1) The ATS system is a human-machine interface for train dispatching, monitoring and command. It interacts with the communication front-end unit to realize direct control and status monitoring of station electromechanical equipment, as well as coordinated command of operation services. 2) The Intelligent Operation and Maintenance System (IOM) communicates with the ATS system to obtain the status and alarm information of the station's electromechanical equipment, enabling centralized management and health diagnosis of the station's electromechanical equipment maintenance information; 3) Communication front-end unit, which is the communication interface server between the ATS system and the terminal control unit of electromechanical equipment; 4) Terminal control unit, which is a safe communication and data acquisition drive unit for controlling the controlled electromechanical equipment, interacts with the communication front-end unit, and interfaces with the controlled electromechanical equipment to realize the control and status monitoring of the controlled electromechanical equipment; The terminal control unit is a SIL4 level safety device and can be deployed at the control end of each controlled electromechanical device for the control and status monitoring of the corresponding electromechanical device.

[0041] The communication front-end unit communicates directly with the ATS and the terminal control unit, receives the status and alarm information of the controlled electromechanical equipment sent by the terminal control unit, and forwards the control commands sent by the ATS system to the terminal control unit, which then controls the opening and closing of the corresponding equipment.

[0042] The ATS system, based on the daily train schedule, automatically or manually sends control commands to the communication front-end unit to turn on or off the controlled electromechanical equipment at the station with a single click, thereby realizing the control function of the controlled electromechanical equipment.

[0043] The ATS system displays the status of the controlled electromechanical equipment in real time based on the status information of the controlled electromechanical equipment sent by the communication front-end unit, which facilitates the status check by dispatchers when opening and closing the station.

[0044] The ATS system communicates with the Intelligent Signal Maintenance System (IOM) and sends the status information and alarm information of the controlled electromechanical equipment to the IOM. This enables centralized management of maintenance information of the controlled electromechanical equipment in the station and intelligent analysis of equipment health.

[0045] Compared with traditional station electromechanical equipment control methods, this invention opens up a direct control channel for efficient and precise matching between train schedules and passenger service station supporting electromechanical equipment, providing a control method for smart station construction. It features high overall system integration, simple interface, safety and reliability, high timeliness, and flexible adaptation to the intelligent service enhancement needs of stations with dynamic adjustments to train schedules. It can achieve precise control of automatic opening and closing of station services, demonstrating significant advancements.

[0046] Example 2 like Figure 2As shown, the integrated control system and method for automatic station opening and closing of smart stations, with train schedule as the core algorithm, is applied in the example of a method for direct control of station service equipment opening based on train schedule, involving interactive information and logical operations. This includes the following interactive information and steps: 1) The information sent by the controlled electromechanical equipment to the ATS system includes: equipment status information and alarm information; 2) The information sent by the ATS system to the controlled electromechanical equipment includes: start command information, power-on information, roller shutter door raising command information, etc.

[0047] Step S101: Based on the operation plan, the ATS system automatically generates the driving plan for the day; Step S102: Based on the arrival time of the first train in the daily train schedule, the ATS system will display a prompt on the ATS interface a certain time in advance (configurable) to ask whether to open the station confirmation interface menu. If the dispatcher does not open the station for the time being, the menu will be closed. The station equipment can be manually opened with one click later as needed for operation. Step S103: If the dispatcher confirms the opening of the station, click the "Confirm Open Station" operation menu. In step S104, the ATS system sends a station activation command to the terminal control unit of the controlled electromechanical equipment (AFC, station escalators / elevators, fresh air equipment, lighting, etc.) through the communication front-end unit, and the terminal control unit sends control commands to the corresponding control equipment. In step S105, the controlled electromechanical equipment (AFC, station escalators / elevators, fresh air equipment, lighting, etc.) executes the power-on of the system equipment according to the control command of the terminal control unit, and feeds back the equipment self-test operation status results to the terminal control unit. The terminal control unit sends the status information to the ATS system for status display. Step S106: After the preceding controlled electromechanical equipment is turned on, the ATS system automatically prompts the dispatcher whether to open the entrance and exit roller shutter door. If the dispatcher does not open the roller shutter door for the time being, the menu is closed. Later, according to the operational needs, the roller shutter door can be opened manually with one click. Step S107: If the dispatcher confirms opening the roller shutter door, click the "Confirm Open Roller Shutter Door" confirmation operation menu. In step S108, the ATS system sends an opening command to the entrance and exit roller shutter door terminal control unit via the communication front-end unit, and the terminal control unit sends control commands to the roller shutter door control equipment. In step S109, the roller shutter door control device executes the raising of the roller shutter door according to the control command of the terminal control unit, and feeds back the operating status result of the roller shutter door to the terminal control unit. The terminal control unit sends the status information to the ATS system for status display.

[0048] After the roller shutter door is opened, the station begins its daily operations.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the integrated control system and method for automatic station opening and closing of smart stations, with train schedule as the core algorithm, is applied in the example of a method for direct control of automatic station closing service equipment based on train schedule, involving interactive information and logical operations. This includes the following interactive information and steps: 1) The information sent by the controlled electromechanical equipment to the ATS system includes: equipment status information and alarm information; 2) The information sent by the ATS system to the controlled electromechanical equipment includes: shutdown command information, power failure information, roller shutter door descent command information, etc.

[0050] Step S201: Based on the last train's operating time according to the day's schedule, delay the operation by a certain amount of time (optional). The ATS system will prompt whether to close the station. The confirmation interface will display a menu. If the dispatcher does not close the station for the time being, the menu will be closed. Later, as needed for operation, the station equipment can be manually shut down with one click. Step S202: If the dispatcher confirms closing the station, click the "Confirm Station Closure" operation menu. In step S203, the ATS system sends a station closure command to the terminal control unit of the controlled electromechanical equipment (AFC, station escalators / elevators, fresh air equipment, low-voltage lighting, etc.) through the communication front-end unit, and the terminal control unit sends control commands to the corresponding control equipment. In step S204, the controlled electromechanical equipment (AFC, station escalators / elevators, fresh air equipment, low-voltage lighting, etc.) executes system shutdown according to the control command of the terminal control unit, and the ATS system displays the equipment status. Step S205: After the preceding controlled electromechanical equipment is shut down, the ATS system automatically prompts the dispatcher whether to close the entrance and exit roller shutter doors. If the dispatcher does not close the roller shutter doors for the time being, the menu will be closed. The roller shutter doors can be manually closed with one click according to the operational needs later. Step S206: If the dispatcher confirms closing the roller shutter door, click the "Confirm Close Roller Shutter Door" confirmation operation menu. In step S207, the ATS system sends a command to close the roller shutter door to the entrance roller shutter door terminal control unit via the communication front-end unit, and the terminal control unit sends control commands to the roller shutter door control equipment. In step S208, the roller shutter control system executes the descent of the roller shutter according to the control command of the terminal control unit, and feeds back the operating status result of the roller shutter to the terminal control unit. The terminal control unit sends the status information to the ATS system for status display.

[0051] After the roller shutter closes, the station's daily operating services will end.
