1Productivity
If current simulation tools (RailSys, SysTra, OpenTrack) are used for rail transit system analysis, then demand analysis, operation capability analysis, train behavior analysis, train schedule optimization, signaling system analysis, system fault and delay simulation, and energy consumption analysis can be performed, but energy efficiency, rapidity, and utilization of transport capacity cannot be integrated into a unified efficiency index to simulate the efficiency status of the rail transit system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple evaluation dimensions (energy efficiency, rapidity, transport capacity utilization) into a unified global efficiency index. The simulation system integrates micro-subject behavior simulation with macro-efficiency evaluation, combining previously separate analysis capabilities into a unified framework that can simultaneously assess multiple performance aspects and identify key elements affecting global efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation system achieves multi-functionality by enabling both micro-level behavior simulation of individual rail transit elements and macro-level global efficiency evaluation. The system can perform demand analysis, operation capability analysis, train behavior analysis, schedule optimization, signaling system analysis, fault simulation, energy consumption analysis, and now integrated global efficiency assessment, making it a universal tool for comprehensive rail transit system evaluation.
2Reliability
If micro-subjects in the rail transit system interact, restrict and cooperate with each other in spatio-temporal behaviors to achieve optimal global efficiency, then the emergence of efficiency manifests as a macro behavioral characteristic that exceeds the sum of individual intelligence and abilities, but the technological ability to simulate the behavior evolution and interaction of such micro-subjects as a control center, control sub-centers, lines, stations and trains under complex road network conditions needs to be enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the rail transit system into discrete micro-subjects (control centers, control sub-centers, lines, stations, trains) that can be independently modeled and simulated. Each micro-subject is represented as an autonomous agent with specific behaviors, allowing the system to simulate complex interactions while maintaining manageable model complexity through modular decomposition of the overall system.
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation system implements feedback mechanisms where micro-subjects respond to dynamic environmental factors and spatio-temporal distribution of transportation tasks. The system captures how individual agent behaviors feed back into collective system performance, enabling the emergence of global efficiency patterns from local interactions while allowing real-time adaptation to changing conditions.
