The invention discloses a control method and
system for automatic
pantograph descending of a
train in a joint area of an insulation anchor section of a
contact network, and the control method comprises the steps: arranging an
image processing mechanism on the
train, collecting
pantograph-
catenary images at different times through the
image processing mechanism, and judging whether the
train is stopped or not; judging whether the train
pantograph is located in an insulation anchor section joint area of the line or not; when it is confirmed that the train is parked and the pantograph of the train is located in the joint area of the insulated anchor section of the line, the
image processing mechanism outputs a pantograph descending
signal to the train; judging whether the speed of the
traction control system is 0 or not; when it is confirmed that the speed of the
traction control system is zero and the train receives a pantograph descending
signal, the train outputs a pantograph descending instruction; and starting to execute the pantograph descending operation. According to the method, pantograph descending control can be automatically achieved, the requirement that the pantograph descends mistakenly when a single device and a single
system break down is avoided, related hazards are prevented from being generated, and it is further ensured that subway
operation safety is the urgent demand of all operation units of
urban rail transit.
