20220355842 · 2022-11-10 ·

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.

SWITCH CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
20230031803 · 2023-02-02 ·

A switch control method and apparatus, and a storage medium are provided, which relate to the field of urban rail transit technologies. The method includes: in a process that a train requests a target object for a switch resource, determining that the train is a train before and nearest a switch in combination with switch information sent from an object controller; when the switch is in an idle state, requesting the object controller to move the switch if it is determined that a current switch orientation of the switch is inconsistent with a switch orientation required by the train for the switch, so that the object controller controls to move the switch, and adjusts a status of the switch to a locked state after the switch is moved; and controlling the train to pass through the switch according to a response message returned by the object controller.

Interface Adapter for Controlling a Track-Side Object of a Railway Installation
20230192162 · 2023-06-22 ·

An interface adapter for controlling a track-side object of a railway installation includes an analog input from an external source and an analog output to drive an electromechanical relay circuit. A bidirectional digital communication interface communicates digital data including first digital data transmitted and second digital data received. An analog-to-digital converter coupled to the analog input is configured to generate a first digital signal representing the electrical input. A digital-to-analog converter coupled to the analog output is configured to generate the electrical output in response to a second digital signal. A power supply supplies electrical power to the digital-to-analog converter. A programmable logic control circuit includes a control program configured to produce the first digital data from the first digital signal, transmit the first digital data using the digital communication interface, process the second digital data, and produce the second digital signal in response to the second digital data.

INTERLOCKING DEVICE

An interlocking device performs route control for trains based on: first operation diagram information as train operation diagram information on a train which runs between stations; second operation diagram information as train operation diagram information on a train which moves in a station yard; and on-track position information on the trains. The interlocking device performs control with time on a signal and/or a switch on a route of a train based on different information according to whether a predetermined condition is satisfied.

Activation apparatus of railway vehicle and railway vehicle having activation apparatus

Disclosed are an activation apparatus of a railway vehicle and a railway vehicle having activation apparatus. The activation apparatus being disposed in each carriage of the railway vehicle containing a plurality of marshallings, the activation apparatus comprising: a target power supply, connected with an activation busbar through a first branch, wherein the activation busbar runs through the railway vehicle containing the plurality of marshallings; and a circuit switch, configured to control a state of the first branch, wherein the state comprising one of the followings: a disconnection state and a connection state. The present disclosure solves the technical problem in the related art in which a current railway vehicle activation mode cannot allow all control carriages to activate and control a corresponding railway vehicle.
