A disclosure relates to a degradation management method for a versatile signal system, a device and a medium. The versatile signal system supports both the CTCS system for the national railway and the CBTC system for the urban railway; the method controls the safety of trains equipped with the CTCS system or the CBTC system on the same line, and effectively conducts degraded operation management; and the management method comprises switching between normal operation modes of the CTCS system and the CBTC system, switching between degraded operation modes, and switching between normal operation modes and degraded operation modes in a shared area. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has the advantage that effective degradation operation mode management on trains running on a line under a CTCS+CBTC signal system is realized.

The method S100 can include: determining a remote operation request Silo; optionally determining a priority of the remote operation request S120; providing vehicle data to a remote operator S130; responding to the remote operation request S140; and optionally training a model based on the response S150. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method S100 functions to facilitate remote assistance of a vehicle operating within a rail network (e.g., operation of unmanned vehicles within restricted track regions). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate remote validation/verification of vehicle operations and/or rail infrastructure status.
