10 results about "Automatic train operation" patented technology

Automatic train operation (ATO) is an operational safety enhancement device used to help automate operations of trains. This is achieved according to the Grade of Automation (GoA) present, up to GoA 4 level, where the train is automatically controlled without the presence of staff on board. Mainly, it is used on automated guideway transits and rapid transit systems which are easier to ensure safety of humans. Most systems elect to maintain a driver (train operator) to mitigate risks associated with failures or emergencies.

Automatic train operation system and method

This invention provides an automatic train operation system and method that enables safe automated operation by accurately switching control methods corresponding to different automation levels through a simple and low-cost configuration. [Solution] The automatic train operation device 1 can selectively switch between an automatic operation mode M2 ​​for automatic operation of train T and a driver assistance mode M1 for driver assistance, which allows manual intervention in the operation of train T by the driver during automatic operation. Driver assistance mode M1 is selected only when the insertion of a master controller key into the master controller key insertion section 6 by the driver is detected.

A scenario-adaptive ATO control system for rail transit

This invention proposes a scenario-adaptive ATO (Automatic Train Operation) control system for rail transit, comprising an operation information acquisition module 201, a scenario-adaptive control module 202, and a train traction / braking execution module 203. The scenario-adaptive control module 202 receives information input from the operation information acquisition module 201, and after learning, prediction, and optimization, generates control commands which are then input to the train traction / braking execution module 203. In this system, the parameter tuning module performs self-tuning of the five controller parameters of the sliding mode PID controller, achieving higher efficiency and accuracy compared to manual parameter tuning, and saving more time spent tuning controller parameters during train trial runs. The system prediction module effectively suppresses excessive overshoot that easily occurs when the train switches operating conditions, avoiding emergency braking triggered by overshoot exceeding the maximum overshoot threshold during operation, while also improving the accuracy of the train ATO controller in tracking the target curve.

A wireless network signal channel intelligent switching method and system

PendingCN122340564ATelecommunicationsAutomatic train operation
This invention discloses a method and system for intelligent switching of wireless network signal channels, relating to the field of wireless communication technology. The method involves sensing at least one other channel besides the current working channel while maintaining communication on the current working channel, identifying and marking at least one inferior channel. This inferior channel meets preset low-quality conditions and is different from the current working channel. This invention does not rely on external positioning information such as GPS / BeiDou; it can complete channel sensing and coding detection using only communication gaps. It can still function normally in tunnel scenarios, fundamentally solving the switching problem when trains pass through tunnels. Furthermore, by using a timing coupling mechanism that first eliminates inferior channels and then performs binary coding detection, the globally optimal channel can be deterministically locked. Theoretical analysis and simulation verification show that the switching success rate can reach over 99.5%, and the switching delay is controlled within 30ms, fully meeting the stringent requirements of 5G-R systems for high-reliability services such as automatic train operation.

Train protection speed curve optimization method based on traction level limit proportion

PendingCN121716766AAutomatic systemsAutomatic train protectionControl theory
The invention provides a train protection speed curve optimization method based on a traction level limit proportion, and the method comprises the steps: transmitting a traction limit mode instruction and the traction level limit proportion to an ATO (automatic train operation) by an ATP (automatic train protection) when a train enters a preset traction limit area in an electronic map and the running directions of the train are consistent; and the ATO periodically feeds back a traction control state after receiving, the ATP performs condition inspection in real time, and the traction limiting mode is confirmed to be effective after the inspection is passed. The ATP dynamically calculates a train protection speed curve according to the traction level limiting proportion, and the ATO synchronously calculates an optimized running speed curve and limits an output traction level instruction. Once the condition is not satisfied or the train travels away from the restricted area, the system exits the restricted mode. According to the method, by introducing the traction level limit proportion, the difference between the protection speed and the line civil engineering speed limit when the train laterally passes through the turnout is reduced, so that the running speed of the train passing through the limited area is increased on the premise of ensuring safety, and the running efficiency of the train is improved.
