Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of railway safety, in particular to a detection system for abnormal train approach reception and dispatching at railway stations. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] In the daily operation of railway stations, operation safety management includes two parts: receiving and dispatching trains and shunting work, and the focus of operation safety management is on the safety of abnormal receiving and dispatching trains and preventing locomotives and vehicles from slipping. Station receiving and dispatching train operations under abnormal conditions refer to station operations where the original operation method must be changed due to reasons such as equipment failure, maintenance, natural disasters and changes in operating conditions.

[0004] In the CTC centralized dispatching mode, the station attendant does not need to participate in any operation, but is only responsible for monitoring the train route in front of the control console. When station operations occur under abnormal circumstances, the attendant in the operation room can only confirm the route with the on-site confirmation personnel through voice calls on the intercom. Due to the long-term lack of participation in the actual operation of station operations, the ability to handle station operations under abnormal circumstances has weakened. When route confirmation is required in the event of abnormal train reception and dispatch, due to the influence of the professional quality of on-site personnel and environmental factors, the route arrangement error may not be discovered. At the same time, there is information asymmetry between the on-duty personnel in the operation room and the on-site confirmation personnel, and the indoor duty personnel cannot make a second confirmation. It is pointed out that the route error cannot be corrected in time, which may lead to unsafe operations such as opening in the wrong direction, connecting the wrong track, and failing to confirm the bad branch.

[0005] With the continuous successful application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, image recognition, and big data, it is necessary to develop an abnormal train route detection system suitable for station equipment failures, to achieve automatic confirmation of station routes and early warning of incorrect routes, so that operating personnel can remotely review abnormal train routes, eliminate human operational errors, and provide technical support to ensure the operational safety of abnormal trains.
