    Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an iterative learning control (ILC) method for a multi-particle vehicle platoon driving system, and relates to the field of ILC. The method includes: firstly, discretizing a multi-particle train dynamic equation using a finite difference method to obtain a partial recurrence equation, and then transforming the partial recurrence equation into a spatially interconnected system model; secondly, transforming the spatially interconnected system model into an equivalent one-dimensional dynamic model using a lifting technology, and in order to compensate input delay, designing an ILC law based on a state observer; and thirdly, transforming a controlled object into an equivalent discrete repetitive process according to the ILC law, and converting a controller combination problem into a linear matrix inequality based on stability analysis of the repetitive process. The method is simple and easy to implement, considers structure uncertainty of the system, and has a good control performance and robustness.

    Abstract: A controller outputs, to a transport vehicle, a forward movement command for moving in the forward direction along a transport path toward a destination, and a reverse movement command for moving in a reverse direction along the transport path toward the destination. When a target task occurs, the controller determines a transport vehicle to execute the target task among a plurality of transport vehicles, while also including, as a candidate, a transport vehicle located on a downstream side of the transport path relative to the destination at a timing when the target task occurs.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a train-ground interlocking method and system for rail transit train operation control. In the train-ground interlocking method, a train is taken as a subject of wayside and carborne resource management, and the train actively calculates a required resource according to a “movement mission”, applies to a wayside at an appropriate time and location, uses the resource after obtaining a resource use authority, and actively releases the resource after use of the resource; and once the wayside allocates the resource to one of other trains, the resource cannot be reallocated without being released by the train. Compared to the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: interlocking control of integration of the train and wayside equipment is achieved, rail transit is improved from original passive and indirect interlocking control of the train to active and direct interlocking control of the train, the train safety protection function and the utilization efficiency of wayside resources are further improved, and safe, timely and appropriate match between a movement behavior of the train and a status of the wayside equipment is truly realized.
