A method performs a mixed operation of a track-bound line section. Trains that are equipped with a train protection system run there. In order to guide trains that are not equipped with the train protection system through the line section, provision is made for switches to be set as a protecting switch for the purpose of following-move protection. However, the switch is reset again before the passage of the unequipped train, wherein the respective block section of the line section must be free again at this time point. The method therefore allows mixed operation of equipped and unequipped trains while at the same time requiring limited component expense for lineside train protection apparatus.

An apparatus for sensing and optimizing the stopping-point accuracy of a vehicle. The apparatus includes at least one sensor unit, which can be arranged on the vehicle, and at least one evaluation unit connected to the sensor unit. The at least one sensor unit is configured to measure a distance relative to a gap profile arranged at a stopping point to which the vehicle travels and to transmit the measurement result to the evaluation unit connected to the sensor unit. There is also described a corresponding system including the apparatus and the distance profile, and also a vehicle with such an apparatus.

The present disclosure relates to a portable safety terminal based method for processing rail transit resources, and a system for the method. The method includes: in a degradation mode, performing interaction between a portable safety terminal and a wayside controller; providing a driver with safety display of an environment where a train is located, and obtaining a location of the train and information of a relationship between a front train and a rear train; and providing the driver with a means to apply for line resources, such that the driver can, according to the train environment, autonomously apply for the line resources, and release the resources for use by subsequent trains after driving the train to pass through a zone. Compared to the prior art, the present disclosure has the advantages of improving the safety of train driving and field maintenance operation, etc.

A train management method includes sending a registration request to a takeover zone controller (ZC) in response to determining that the train enters an area of co-management, so that the takeover ZC calculates a second movement authority (MA) of the train according to the registration request and exchanges information with a handover ZC, determining a target MA according to a first MA of the handover ZC for the train and the second MA of the takeover ZC for the train, and traveling according to the target MA within the area of co-management. The area of co-management is composed of a part of an area of management of the handover ZC and a part of an area of management of the takeover ZC.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for waking up a train which in four carriages coupling mode from sleep state on double-track-line, a system, an electronic apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises steps of: receiving a static test request transmitted by a train in four carriages coupling mode on the track B1 or the track B2, determining whether a test environment of the train satisfies a static test condition, and transmitting a static test permission instruction to the train; receiving a dynamic test request transmitted by the train, determining whether a test environment of the train satisfies a dynamic test condition, and transmitting a dynamic test permission instruction to the train; and receiving information, indicating that the train can be woken up, transmitted by the train, and controlling the train to wake up from sleep state.

A train control device including a control logic generation unit that uses an environmental model defined by the number of a plurality of closed sections constituting a track included in a predetermined control target region, a connection configuration of the closed sections, and the number of trains present on the track, a state of the environmental model being changed discretely according to a combination of a position of one control target train that is the train to be controlled, positions of zero or more other trains, and the presence or absence of reservation for each of the closed sections, and generates a control logic that is a logic for transitioning the state of the environmental model depending on the state of the environmental model so as to satisfy a predetermined condition, and a regeneration instruction unit that instructs the control logic generation unit to regenerate the control logic.

A method operates a track-bound traffic system which carries out a determination that a first track section part lying between a track-bound vehicle and a second track section is free of vehicles. A track-side device disposed in a first track section at a distance to an adjacent second track section, transmits status information which characterizes the second track section as being free of track-bound vehicles, and the transmitted status information is received by a vehicle traversing the first track section. The distance is measured such that no other track-bound vehicle fits in a first track section part lying between the track-bound vehicle and the second track section when the track-bound vehicle receives the status information, and the first track section part lying between the track-bound vehicle and the second track section is identified as being free of other track-bound vehicles by the track-bound vehicle based on the received status information.

A method for geolocating an interference source in a communication-based transport system, wherein the communication-based transport system comprises: —a plurality of interference sources, distributed in a space and respectively emitting signal, —a vehicle, moving along a known trajectory, receiving the signal from the interference sources, and measuring the signal strength of the signal of only one interference source at a time instance; the method comprising: —separating the interference sources by clustering the signal strength of the signal with a clustering method; —estimating the locations of the interference sources in the space based on the separated interference sources.

A method and an apparatus for a train control system are disclosed, and are based on virtualization of train control logic and the use of cloud computing resources. A train control system is configured into two main parts. The first part includes physical elements of the train control system, and the second part includes a virtual train control system that provides the computing resources for the required train control application platforms. The disclosed architecture can be used with various train control technologies, including communications based train control, cab-signaling and fixed block, wayside signal technology. Further, the disclosure describes methodologies to convert cab-signaling and manual operations into distance to go operation.

A temporary speed restriction safe management method for a multi-mode train control system. The method comprises: step 101, issuing a temporary speed restriction setting instruction by means of a line network dispatching system; step 102, performing a validity check on a set temporary speed restriction, and setting a first mark-drawing up after the check is successful; step 103 setting a second mark-verification; step 104, feeding a verification state or verification failure of the set temporary speed restriction back to the dispatcher; step 105, an auxiliary dispatcher issuing an execution instruction for the verified temporary speed restriction; step 106, determining that the temporary speed restriction is successfully executed; step 107, feeding an execution state or execution failure of the temporary speed restriction back to the dispatcher; and step 108, sending the temporary speed restriction to a train of a corresponding system that passes through a speed restriction zone.
