6 results about "Automatic train control" patented technology

Automatic train control (ATC) is a general class of train protection systems for railways that involves a speed control mechanism in response to external inputs. For example, a system could effect an emergency brake application if the driver does not react to a signal at danger. ATC systems tend to integrate various cab signalling technologies and they use more granular deceleration patterns in lieu of the rigid stops encountered with the older automatic train stop technology. ATC can also be used with automatic train operation (ATO) and is usually considered to be the safety-critical part of the system.

System and method for railroad personnel safety assurance

A system for enhancing personnel safety on a railroad track is presented. The system can receive data from sensors and / or a PTC system to determine positions of clients / worker and / or vehicles, and further utilize such data to determine if a vehicle is within a certain proximity of the client / worker location. The system can further generate geofences around clients / vehicles to and determine when such geofences intersect one another. Additionally, the present disclosure can assign severity levels and generate alerts with the assigned severity levels, and such severity levels can indicate how close a vehicle is to a particular location. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for generating alerts to notify personnel when they much retreat to a place of safety.

Traffic network and method for operating rail vehicles in a traffic network consisting of a combination of line sections with train protection and line sections without train protection

ActiveUS12643585B2Automatic systemsManual systemsAutomatic train controlAutomatic train protection
A method for operating rail vehicles in a traffic network, which includes a reserved operating area that is reserved for the rail vehicles and a shared operating area which is shared with traffic participants other than the rail vehicles. A computer-assisted method for train control is performed automatically in the reserved operating area. The method for automatic train control is also performed in a computer-assisted manner in the shared operating area, wherein automatic train protection does not take place but automatic operation and supervision do take place. Using a range of functions modified thus, continuous train tracking is advantageously realized. There are also described a traffic network for operating rail vehicles, a rail vehicle for operation in a traffic network, and a computer program and an associated delivery device.

Rail transit hub emergency control method and system based on real-time simulation

ActiveCN120954216BDetection of traffic movementForecastingAutomatic train controlReal-time simulation
This invention discloses a real-time simulation-based emergency control method and system for rail transit hubs, relating to the fields of intelligent transportation and rail transit emergency management. The method includes: synchronizing real-time passenger flow data with train operation status data to generate a hub status dataset; constructing a multi-level simulation model to simulate the evolution of passenger flow distribution by pre-setting passenger evacuation behaviors and train operation constraints; based on the output of the multi-level simulation model, using a bottleneck identification algorithm to locate capacity-limiting nodes in each evacuation path, calculating passenger flow carrying capacity, and generating optimal path control parameters with the goal of minimizing evacuation time; converting the optimal path control parameters into train automatic control system commands and passenger flow guidance display commands, which are then distributed to each line control unit through the hub centralized dispatching system to adjust train operation frequency and passenger evacuation direction. This invention achieves intelligent and collaborative emergency control of rail transit hubs.
