Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to dynamic linkage control for unmanned driving, and in particular to an ATS dynamic linkage control system, method, device and medium based on a multi-dimensional information matrix. Background Technology

[0002] In current urban rail transit projects, driverless operation has become a hot topic, and fault response is a crucial aspect in the numerous scenarios of driverless operation. The Automatic Train Control (ATS) system interacts directly with dispatching, automatically responding immediately when a fault alarm occurs, assisting dispatching in setting instructions, and buying more time for dispatching to resolve the current fault.

[0003] Existing linkage technologies mainly focus on using relevant alarm information to apply linkage commands to static objects, such as platforms and signal lights.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN112078628A discloses a train linkage control method and device. Specifically, it discloses determining each linkage trigger node that matches the application scenario of the train linkage to be performed, as well as a linkage trigger model. The logical values ​​of each linkage trigger node stored in the ATS cache are input into the linkage trigger model, and the linkage control can be determined based on the logical calculation results.

[0005] However, existing linkage technologies have been studied less for train linkage in motion, or the objects included in scene linkage are not comprehensive enough, and the actions are not flexible enough. Moreover, many existing linkage technologies cannot give dispatchers more initiative in handling false alarm information. Once the alarm information source is unreliable, there are insufficient means to filter or reconfirm. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an ATS dynamic linkage control system, method, device and medium based on a multi-dimensional information matrix.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an ATS dynamic linkage control system is provided, comprising a multi-channel information source module, a multi-dimensional information matrix module, a dynamic linkage engine, and an interactive management module;

[0009] The multi-channel information source module receives external information source data and outputs the received information source to the multi-dimensional information matrix module. The multi-dimensional information matrix module establishes a multi-dimensional information matrix and outputs it to the dynamic linkage engine. The dynamic linkage engine triggers a linkage trigger based on the changes in the multi-dimensional information matrix. The interaction management module outputs the operator's feedback on the information to be confirmed to the linkage trigger.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the multi-channel information source is an abstract information source.

[0020] Step S5: The dynamic linkage engine acquires the changes in the multidimensional data matrix, retrieves the relationship between the action object, action range, action type and action sequence of the changed information source in the multidimensional information matrix and establishes a link, then executes step S6.

[0021] Step S6: Obtain the reliability setting of the change information source according to the local media definition. If the reliability setting is direct output, the dynamic linkage engine will output the link established in step S5; if the reliability setting is confirmation required, then execute step S7.

[0022] Step S7: The interaction management module obtains the information source that needs to be confirmed and outputs it to the operation terminal, and waits for a response.

[0023] Step S8: If the operation terminal selects to ignore, the interaction management module will not take any action; if the operation terminal selects to confirm, the information source will be used as the input of the dynamic linkage engine.

[0024] Step S9: If the source of information that needs to be confirmed is confirmed again after the option to ignore is selected, the operation will provide confirmation feedback again.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S201: Establish a dual-connection information source acquisition channel between the external interface and the internal module, and preprocess the acquired information source to meet the object format of the information matrix;

[0035] Step S504: Poll the action set of the trigger. If there is no action, return to step S501. If there is an action, execute step S505.

[0036] Step S505: Output the action of the object collection, and then return to step S501.

[0049] 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.

[0050] refer to Figure 1-5 This describes the technical solution of the present invention. Figure 1 Used to describe the inter-module logic. Figure 2-5 Describe the different components or logic within each module.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the four modules of dynamic linkage management are introduced: multi-channel information source, multi-dimensional information matrix, dynamic linkage engine, and interactive management module:

[0052] Step S001: The multi-channel information source mainly establishes and maintains the channels of the external information source, is responsible for receiving data from the external information source, and outputs the received information source to the multi-dimensional information matrix.

[0053] Step S002, Multidimensional Information Matrix, mainly handles the validity of information sources, classifies information sources, establishes topological link information, associates information source triggers, and establishes a matrix relationship table of action objects, action types, action sequences, and action ranges.

[0054] Step S003: The dynamic linkage engine triggers the corresponding linkage trigger based on the changes in the multi-dimensional information matrix, and applies the corresponding specific action type to the specific action object within the specific action range in a certain action sequence.

[0055] Step S004: The interaction management module determines whether to confirm the information source based on the customized reliability of the information source, outputs the information to be confirmed to the operator, receives feedback from the operator, and outputs the confirmation link to the outside.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-channel information source processing logic is introduced, including the following steps:

[0057] Step S101: Check if the information source channel is healthy. If yes, proceed to step S102; otherwise, proceed to step S103.

[0058] Step S102: Establish a multi-information source channel, and then repeat step S101.

[0059] Step S103: Start receiving multi-channel data;

[0060] Step S104: Redundancy filtering is performed on the received multi-channel data to obtain a single data set;

[0061] Step S105: According to the data definition, check the validity of the data. If invalid, proceed to step S106; if valid, proceed to step S107.

[0062] Step S106: Invalid data is discarded and an alarm is recorded;

[0063] Step S107: Output the valid data;

[0064] Step S108: After the data processing is complete, proceed to S101.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the definition of a multidimensional information matrix is ​​introduced, including the following parts:

[0066] Step S401: Information sources are obtained from multi-source information channels. Multiple sources can be defined. Each information source, in addition to defining its own basic attributes, will contain a set of triggers.

[0067] Step S402: The set of triggers can be one or more, and each trigger will define the triggering conditions and the set of actions;

[0068] Step S403: The action set consists of one or more actions of different types. Depending on the coordinates of the information source, the action will contain a set of objects.

[0069] In step S404, the object collection consists of one or more objects of different types that may be subject to actions, and these objects define their own attributes according to different categories.

[0070] like Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the processing logic of the dynamic linkage engine. It includes the following processing steps (pseudocode):

[0071] While (information source is not empty) / / Step S501

[0072] {

[0073] Match the type of information source; / / Step S502

[0074] While (the trigger in the information source is not empty) / / Step S503

[0075] {

[0076] While (action in trigger is not empty) / / Step S504

[0077] {

[0078] Output the action to all objects; / / Step S505

[0079] }

[0080] }

[0081] }

[0082] like Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the interaction between the interactive management module and the operator. It includes the following steps:

[0083] Step S701: The interaction management module sends the information source to be confirmed to the operator and waits for feedback;

[0084] In step S702, the operator can choose to ignore the feedback and send it to the interaction management module. At this time, the interaction management module does not take any action.

[0085] In step S703, the operator can choose to confirm and send the feedback to the interaction management module. At this time, the interaction management module executes step S704.

[0086] Step S704: After receiving the confirmation feedback, the information source is used as the input to the linkage engine, and the linkage engine is activated to enter the linkage logic, and then the process ends.

[0087] In summary, the first objective of this invention is to propose a multidimensional information matrix, specifically:

[0088] Step S1: Define a multi-dimensional information source through local media and establish a relationship matrix between multi-dimensional information sources, then proceed to step S2;

[0089] Step S2: Establish a multi-dimensional information input channel and acquire the input information in real time, identify the type of information, and if it is a valid information type, proceed to step S3.

[0090] Step S3: Establish objects from the identified information units, map them in the multidimensional information matrix, and associate them with other information, then proceed to step S4;

[0091] Step S4: Establish the output channel of the multi-dimensional information matrix and output the current information change source to the dynamic linkage engine.

[0092] The second objective of this invention is to propose a dynamic linkage engine, specifically:

[0093] Step S5: Obtain the information source of the multidimensional data matrix, retrieve the relationship between the action object, action range, action type, and action sequence of the information source in the multidimensional information matrix table, and establish links;

[0094] Step S6: Based on the definition obtained from the local medium, output the action link in step S5 in real time, or wait for confirmation.

[0095] To achieve the second objective, the third objective of this invention is to establish an interactive management module for information sources and operators, specifically as follows:

[0096] Step S7: Obtain the alarm input source from the multidimensional information table and output it to the operator, while waiting;

[0097] Step S8: If operator feedback is received, confirm or ignore it depending on the type of feedback.

[0098] Step S9: After ignoring the previous feedback, since the alarm input source has been determined, the operation can perform a second confirmation feedback.

[0099] The specific steps of step S2 are as follows:

[0100] S201. Establish a dual-connection information source acquisition channel between external interfaces and internal modules, and preprocess the acquired information sources to meet the object format of the information matrix;

[0101] S202. Preprocessing of information sources, including identifying and classifying information source objects; discarding invalid information sources and further processing valid information sources.

[0102] The specific steps of step S3 are as follows:

[0103] S301. Based on the local medium, generate a specific object with the information source as the smallest unit, and find the coordinates of the object from the multidimensional information matrix.

[0104] S302. Based on the coordinates of the information source, associate the linkage trigger of the object. The linkage trigger includes the action object, action type, action sequence, and the range of action applied by the action object.

[0105] The specific steps of step S6 are as follows:

[0106] S601. Obtain the reliability setting of the current information source, which is divided into "direct output" and "requires confirmation";

[0107] S602. When the reliability is set to "direct output", the trigger is automatically executed by the linkage engine according to the trigger definition associated with the information source.

[0108] S603. When the reliability is set to "requires confirmation", the information source is output to the outside and confirmation is awaited. The corresponding trigger is executed by the linkage engine only when confirmation feedback is received.

[0109] The above is an introduction to the method embodiments. The following system embodiments will further illustrate the solution of the present invention.
