Abstract:
Even when a radio communication disabled section occurs so as to include a part or all of an interlocking control section, an operation such as overtaking and waiting is enabled in this section at low cost. In a train control method which has a ground radio communication unit that communicates with an on-board communication unit provided in a train, and a ground coil that is installed at a predetermined stop position at which the train stops, and is communicable with the train, calculates a stop limit position to be given to the train, based on information through the ground radio communication unit, and performs operation control of the train in a predetermined section, when the radio communication between the on-board radio communication unit and the ground radio communication unit is disrupted, a calculated radio communication disruption section including a section in which the radio communication is disrupted is set, with respect to a train traveling through the calculated radio communication disruption section, an on-rail state of the train is estimated, based on a first stop limit position so that the train reaches up to a position of the ground coil, or a second stop limit position that is ahead of the calculated radio communication disruption section, and a lastly received train position, and operation control of the train is performed, based on the estimated on-rail state of the train.
Abstract:
An operation plan creation device according to an embodiment includes an operation plan creation unit. The operation plan creation unit includes an operation plan condition setting module, a run-curve condition setting module, a run-curve creation module, and an operation plan creation module. The run-curve creation module is configured: to acquire a first run-curve and a first energy consumption in respective inter-stop sections; to correct, when a total extension time length is set, run time lengths of the respective inter-stop sections based on the total extension time length; and to acquire a second run-curve based on the corrected run time lengths. The operation plan creation module is configured to create an operation plan based on the second run-curve.
Abstract:
A train control method which utilizes a ground radio communication unit which communicates with an onboard communication unit installed on a train and a balise which is installed at a predetermined stop position where the train stops and capable of communicating with the train and is used to calculate a stop limit position to be given to the train on the basis of information obtained via the ground radio communication unit in order to control the operation of the train in a predetermined section. When the radio communication between the onboard communication unit and the ground radio communication unit is disrupted a radio communication disruption setting section is set with the inclusion of the section where the radio communication is disrupted; the on track state of a train which is traveling inside the radio communication disruption setting section is estimated on the basis of a first stop limit position which causes the train to travel to the position of the balise or a second stop limit position which is set ahead of the communication disruption setting section and the last received position of the train; and the operation of the train is controlled on the basis of the estimated on track state of the train.
Abstract:
An operation control system according to an embodiment includes a ground system and an on-train system. The ground system is configured to be able to communicate with trains running on tracks and includes a first generation unit, a second generation unit, and a third generation unit. The first generation unit generates one or more first run curves predicted for one or more second trains each likely to be a preceding train or a following train with respect to a first train. The second generation unit generates a second run curve for the first train based on the first run curves, the second run curve preventing the first train from being influenced by and influencing running of the second trains. The third generation unit generates navigation for causing the first train to run in accordance with the second run curve. The on-train system is installed on each of the trains and includes a presentation unit configured to present the navigation.
Abstract:
