The embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for tracking and controlling virtual marshalling trains, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, which is intended to balance the running safety and the utilization of the railway resources. In the present application, the running state data of the target train is obtained, the target control operation corresponding to the running state data is determined from the plurality of preset control operations based on the preset reinforcement learning model, and the control of the target train is implemented according to the target control operation. In addition, the reward value corresponding to the previous control operation of the target control operation is determined according to the distance contained in the running state data, and the reinforcement learning model is updated according to the reward value.

In one example, a wayside device monitoring system is provided. The system may include a wayside device and a controller. The wayside device may detect one or more operating parameters of a vehicle in a vehicle system moving over a route segment. The controller can receive information from the wayside device regarding at least the one or more operating parameters detected, and can control movement the vehicle directly or indirectly based at least in part on the received information.

A congestion rate calculation unit calculates a congestion rate in the cabin based on the number of recognized passengers. When the congestion rate is more than a predetermined congestion threshold, an in-vehicle display and an in-vehicle speaker are capable of giving an alighting notification that notifies the presence of a passenger who is alighting at the next stop and seat information of the passenger, and does not make an alighting notification when the congestion rate is less than or equal to the congestion threshold in the process of the passenger vehicle heading to the next stop.

A control system and method determine an energy demand associated with delivery of cargo in a trip. The energy demand represents how much electric energy is needed to move cargo vehicles that carry the cargo through the trip. Locations of energy tenders and states of charge of the energy tenders are determined. A schedule for the cargo vehicles to deliver the cargo to a delivery location within a delivery time slot is determined. This schedule is determined based on the energy demand, the locations of the energy tenders, and the states of charge of the energy tenders. The system and method direct which of the energy tenders that the cargo vehicles are to couple with, be powered by, and move with for powering the cargo along routes to the delivery location of the trip within the designated time slot.

A non-stop train system including a plurality of train cars in communication with one another and in communication with an electronic control module. The train system includes a track or any number of parallel tracks having a plurality of drop off and pick up locations. A prepositioned train car is stopped at one of the drop off and pick up locations. A non-stop express train approaches and passes by the drop off and pick up location on the track initiating the prepositioned train car to begin departure. The electronic control module is used to adjust the speed of the non-stop express train and the prepositioned train car based on a detected distance such that a rear coupler of the non-stop express train couples to the front coupler of the prepositioned train car while moving along the track.
