A train operation control system and method based on train-ground coordination are provided. The system includes a dispatching center server, a resource management unit (RMU) for ground train control equipment, and on-board train control equipment (CC), wherein the dispatching center server is connected via communication to the on-board CC, and the on-board CC is connected via communication to the RMU for the ground train control equipment; and the RMU for the ground train control equipment and the on-board CC coordinatively complete resource management and implement train operation control, wherein the resource management is divided into two levels, at a first level, the RMU is responsible for performing the resource management in the unit of section, and at a second level, a preceding train and a succeeding train interact with each other via direct train-to-train communication, such that finer resource sharing in a section is achieved between the trains.

An implementation method for an independent multimode train control system based on a trackside platform is provided. According to the implementation method, a trackside train control system and an interlocking system are provided independently to meet requirements of hybrid operation of trains having different systems; and at the same time, during operation of a train in a moving block mode, once a trackside control system fails or an on-board system fails, the multimode train control system can ensure that the train is degraded automatically and operates according to a degraded mode.

Electric railway systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, the electric railway system includes a continuous conductor, access points, connections, and a microwave link. The continuous conductor runs along the railway track for supplying high-voltage power to trains travelling on the railway system, and supplies high-voltage power to trains travelling on the electric railway systems. The continuous conductor is arranged as an overhead line suspended from poles or towers distributed along the railway track. The access points provide data communication with trains travelling on the railway system, and are arranged on the poles or towers above the railway track. The connections connect the electric railway system to an electric low-voltage power cable. The microwave link connects the access points.
