This invention discloses an
edge computing-based autonomous decision-making and real-time communication
system and method for loading depots, relating to the field of railway freight
automation. The
system includes: deploying
edge computing nodes to construct an end-to-end distributed
processing architecture, collecting real-
time data and performing localized
processing; utilizing an autonomous decision-making module to construct a closed-loop mechanism of "state awareness - strategy reasoning - instruction output" based on uploaded multi-
source data, autonomously generating material unloading control instructions and multi-device collaborative strategies; and employing a real-time communication protocol integrating Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and 5G URLLC technologies to ensure real-time communication between
edge computing nodes, between edge computing nodes and the autonomous decision-making module, and when equipment executes instructions, achieving synchronization between locomotive arrival and material unloading
initiation, and seamless connection between leveling
machine operation and material unloading completion. This invention can improve the unmanned, highly collaborative, and low-latency capabilities of loading operations, thereby better adapting to the needs of the "heavy-load" transportation mode in railway freight transport.
