Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a safety protection method for a level crossing, which is used for realizing automatic safety protection of the level crossing. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises:
sending a closing command to a level crossing protection system;
determining the protection state of the level crossing according to the execution condition of a closing command, wherein the protection state comprises a protected state or an unprotected state;
acquiring the information of a level crossing, wherein when the protection state is an unprotected state, the information of the level crossing comprises a stop sign and the speed limit of the level crossing;
and when the protection state is an unprotected state, stopping the vehicle firstly and then passing through the level crossing or passing through the level crossing without stopping the vehicle according to the stop sign and the level crossing speed limit.
For example, the method for protecting a level crossing according to the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by a level crossing protection system as shown in fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the safety protection system for a level crossing comprises ground equipment, vehicle-mounted equipment, a signal system and the like. Specifically, the safety protection system for the level crossing comprises a level crossing protection system, an interlock (CBI), a Train Control Center (TCC), a Train-mounted system, and a signal system such as a Radio Block Center (RBC) and/or a track circuit, a trackside electronic unit, a transponder, etc. according to the road condition.
The level crossing protection system is used for automatically protecting a level crossing, can receive a crossing command to perform crossing protection actions, and automatically closes the crossing according to a closing command, enters a protected state or an unprotected state and automatically opens the crossing according to an opening command; the level crossing protection system also feeds back the crossing state according to the action result, namely the protection state of the level crossing in the embodiment of the invention. Specifically, the level crossing protection system is connected with the TCC, and reports the crossing state to the TCC, the TCC sends the crossing state to the CBI, and the CBI sends the level crossing state to the RBC.
In the embodiment of the invention, a closing command is sent to the level crossing protection system according to the position relation between the train and the level crossing, namely the closing command is sent to the level crossing protection system when the train enters the specified distance near the level crossing.
For lines that can use wireless transmission data, the onboard equipment on the train sends the train location to the RBC in real time by wireless. The RBC determines the time for sending the command to the level crossing according to the relation between the position of the train and the position of the crossing in front of the train, and the RBC sends the level crossing command to a level crossing protection system sequentially through CBI and TCC. In further embodiments, the RBC sends only the train position to the CBI, which sends the crossing command to the TCC based on the train position information, or the train position information to the TCC, which sends the crossing command to the level crossing protection system. The level crossing protection system executes a crossing command, transmits the latest level crossing information and crossing state to CBI through TCC, and then transmits the latest level crossing information and crossing state to RBC, and RBC transmits the level crossing information to vehicle-mounted equipment on a train in a wireless manner. In the embodiment of the invention, the level crossing information comprises a crossing state, namely a crossing protection state. In other embodiments, the corresponding level crossing information and crossing status may be sent separately. If the command executed by the level crossing protection system is successful, the crossing state of the level crossing is a protected state, and the level crossing information sent to the vehicle-mounted equipment by the RBC comprises the protected state of the level crossing. If the command executed by the level crossing protection system fails or the level crossing fails, the protection state in the level crossing information sent to the vehicle-mounted equipment by the RBC is an unprotected state.
For a line which cannot use wireless data transmission, the TCC sends a crossing command to a level crossing protection system when a train reaches a certain distance in front of the level crossing through the relationship between the train position detected by a track circuit and the like and the crossing position in front of the train. The level crossing protection system executes the crossing command and sends the latest crossing state to the TCC. The TCC transmits the information of the level crossing to a ground active transponder through the trackside electronic unit, and when a train passes through the active transponder, the information of the level crossing is received in an electromagnetic induction mode. If the command executed by the level crossing protection system is successful, the crossing state in the level crossing information sent to the vehicle-mounted equipment by the TCC through the active responder is the protected state. If the command executed by the level crossing protection system fails or the level crossing fails, the crossing state in the level crossing information sent to the vehicle-mounted equipment by the TCC through the active transponder is an unprotected state.
When a train approaches a level crossing, ground equipment (RBC or TCC) sends a level crossing closing command to a level crossing protection system to close the level crossing and prepare for the train to pass. After the train completely passes through the level crossing, the ground equipment (RBC or TCC) sends a level crossing opening command to the level crossing protection system to reopen the level crossing.
The following explains the safety protection process after the level crossing protection system receives the crossing command.
The level crossing protection system executes crossing closing according to the crossing closing command and feeds back crossing states.
If the level crossing protection system is successfully closed, the level crossing protection state is a protected state, the vehicle-mounted equipment does not need to carry out additional safety protection on the level crossing, the speed of the train is directly controlled according to the line data provided by the ground equipment, and the train can safely pass through the level crossing. Under the protection state of the level crossing, the information of the level crossing does not need to include speed limit information, information of a parking area in front of the level crossing, parking signs and the like.
And if the command executed by the level crossing protection system fails or the level crossing fails, feeding back the level crossing protection state as an unprotected state. The ground equipment feeds back the protection state and other information required by the train passing through the level crossing by itself through the level crossing information.
According to the embodiment of the invention, different types of level crossing information are provided for the train according to the protection state of the level crossing, and different levels of safety protection are realized.
In the embodiment of the invention, the road junction information sent to the vehicle-mounted equipment by the ground equipment comprises a road junction number, road junction area information, parking area information in front of the road junction, a road junction protection state, a parking sign and a road junction speed limit, namely the allowed speed of the road junction.
In one embodiment, the interlocking system can control a plurality of level crossings, trains can also pass through the plurality of level crossings, and the condition of continuously receiving the information of the level crossings exists, so that the level crossings are distinguished through the number of the level crossings, and the vehicle-mounted equipment updates the information of the corresponding level crossings according to the number of the level crossings. When the vehicle-mounted equipment receives a new piece of road junction information, the number of the newly received road junction is the same as that of the previously received road junction, and the newly received road junction information replaces the previously received road junction information.
The vehicle-mounted equipment also acquires the information of the intersection area and the corresponding parking area information. In the embodiment of the invention, the information of the area of the level crossing and the information of the parking area are represented by the starting point of the level crossing, the length of the level crossing and the length of the parking area in front of the level crossing. As shown in fig. 3, the end point of the level crossing = the start point of the level crossing + the length of the level crossing, the end point of the parking area = the start point of the level crossing, and the start point of the parking area = the start point of the level crossing-the length of the parking area. In another embodiment, the intersection information may be represented by an intersection start point (or parking area end point), an intersection end point, and a parking area start point. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific parameters for determining the two regions. Fig. 3 shows a parking area and a level crossing area when a train drives from one direction of the level crossing to the level crossing, and in the case that the train drives from the other direction of the level crossing to the level crossing, the relationship between the parking area and the level crossing area is symmetrical to this, and a person skilled in the art can obtain a safety protection scheme in the other direction according to the safety protection scheme in the one direction in the embodiment of the present invention.
When the vehicle-mounted equipment receives the information of the level crossing from the wireless or active transponder, no additional protection is added to the protected level crossing, the speed of the train is controlled according to the line data (containing the speed limit information of the level crossing) provided by the ground equipment, and the train can safely pass through the level crossing.
And after the vehicle-mounted equipment receives the road junction information, if the protection state of the road junction is not protected, the vehicle-mounted equipment uses the road junction information. When the level crossing is not protected, the vehicle-mounted equipment brings the speed limit of the level crossing into the most limited speed curve so as to monitor the running of the train, and the highest speed of the train passing through the level crossing cannot exceed the speed limit of the level crossing. The stop sign in front of the level crossing is used for indicating whether a train needs to stop before passing through the level crossing, so that two modes of passing through the level crossing without stopping and then passing through the level crossing after stopping exist.
For an unprotected level crossing, the vehicle-mounted equipment needs to determine whether the vehicle needs to be parked in front of the level crossing according to a parking sign in front of the level crossing. If the stop sign in front of the level crossing is stop, the vehicle-mounted equipment controls the train to stop in front of the level crossing and then passes through the level crossing. If the stop sign in front of the level crossing is not stopped, the vehicle-mounted equipment controls the speed of the train to be reduced, and the train passes through the level crossing at a low speed without stopping.
When the parking sign is parking, according to the parking sign and the speed limit of the level crossing, parking is firstly carried out and then the vehicle passes through the level crossing, comprising the following steps:
the vehicle-mounted equipment acquires the area information of the intersection and the parking area information in front of the intersection, and controls the train to park in the parking area; and then the vehicle-mounted equipment controls the train to pass through the region of the level crossing at a speed not exceeding the speed limit of the level crossing.
Specifically, the starting point of the intersection area, namely the terminal of the parking area, is used as the driving permission terminal of the train for monitoring, and the front end of the train is controlled to park in the parking area. Namely, when the train stops, the front end of the train is positioned in a stopping area in front of the level crossing. In the embodiment of the present invention, the train front end is specifically a train estimation front end, and in another embodiment, the train front end may also be a maximum safety front end or a minimum safety front end. The vehicle-mounted equipment does not monitor the starting point of the level crossing as the temporary driving permission end point any more, but starts from the estimated front end of the train and brings the limiting speed of the level crossing into the most limiting speed curve. The maximum limiting speed curve is obtained by fusing various speed limiting information such as line speed limit, temporary speed limit, maximum train running speed and the like by the vehicle-mounted equipment, and the minimum speed limit in each area is taken without loss of generality to form the maximum limiting speed curve. The speed-limiting area of the level crossing is used as a special temporary speed-limiting area, the starting point of the temporary speed-limiting area is the estimated front end of the train, the terminal point of the speed-limiting area is the terminal point of the area of the level crossing, and the allowable speed of the temporary speed-limiting area is the speed-limiting of the level crossing. The speed limit is given through the vehicle-mounted equipment, a driver is allowed to control the train to run according to the speed limit, and the vehicle-mounted equipment carries out safety protection on the train running according to the speed limit. If the train stops in the parking area before stopping in the parking area, the vehicle-mounted equipment does not bring the speed limit of the level crossing into the most limited speed curve. In this case, the train is controlled to continue to run according to the allowable speed, the train is stopped in the stopping area, and then the speed limit of the level crossing is brought into the most limited speed curve.
If the parking mark in front of the level crossing is not stopped, the vehicle-mounted equipment acquires the area information of the level crossing and the parking area information in front of the level crossing; the vehicle-mounted equipment or a driver decelerates the train, when the designated speed of the current position of the train reaches the speed limit of the level crossing before the starting point of the level crossing area, the vehicle-mounted equipment brings the speed limit of the level crossing into the most limited speed curve from the current position to the terminal area of the level crossing, and the vehicle-mounted equipment controls the train to pass through the level crossing area at the speed not exceeding the speed limit of the level crossing. In the embodiment of the invention, the maximum service braking speed is selected as a target for judging whether the train reaches the first stage, namely, the specified speed is reduced to the speed limit of the level crossing before the starting point of the level crossing area. When the first stage goal is met, the second stage is entered, i.e. the train passes through the level crossing area at a speed not exceeding the level crossing speed limit. The maximum service braking speed is used as the operation control target of the train in the parking area, so that the safety and controllability of the train passing through the level crossing can be guaranteed, and the efficiency of the train passing through the level crossing is improved.
Specifically, the on-board device monitors a start point of the level crossing, i.e., a stop area end point, as a temporary driving permission end point, and the on-board device, such as an ATP (Automatic Train Protection) or a driver, controls the Train to decelerate. When the maximum service braking speed of the train is reduced to the limit speed of the level crossing, the vehicle-mounted equipment does not monitor the starting point of the level crossing as a temporary driving permission end point any more, but brings the limit speed of the level crossing into a maximum limit speed curve from the front end of the train. At the moment, the level crossing is also used as a special temporary speed limiting area, the starting point of the speed limiting area is the estimated front end of the train, the terminal point of the speed limiting area is the terminal point of the area of the level crossing, the allowable speed of the speed limiting area is the speed limiting of the level crossing, the speed limiting of the level crossing is brought into the most limited speed curve, and the train is controlled to pass through the speed limiting area of the level crossing.
The embodiment of the invention can support the level crossing to safely, efficiently and automatically pass through the level crossing in a parking mode and a non-parking mode through the parking sign and the speed limit information. By arranging the train running monitoring point, the speed limit is brought into the most limited speed curve, and the efficiency of the train passing through the level crossing can be improved.
After the train crosses the terminal of the level crossing, the allowable speed is not influenced by the speed limit of the level crossing any more, but is determined by the most limited speed curve, and the train can run in an accelerated way.
If the level crossing in front of the train has a fault, the ground equipment sends level crossing information to the vehicle-mounted equipment, and marks the unprotected state of the level crossing, the vehicle-mounted equipment needs to abide by the speed limit of the level crossing, and the level crossing passes at a low speed. The speed of the train is reduced, or the train is stopped and then runs, or runs at a low speed, a driver observes the crossing in front of the train to carry out manual protection and other protection, and the train passes through the level crossing at a lower speed. Once the driver observes an accident, the driver can apply the brake to stop the train in time, since the train speed is very low. If the fault level crossing is recovered to be normal before the train passes over the level crossing, the ground equipment sends the level crossing information with the same number to the vehicle-mounted equipment and marks the level crossing as a protected state, namely the protected state is updated from an unprotected state to a protected state. The vehicle-mounted equipment receives the new level crossing information, and the new level crossing information replaces the old level crossing information. Because the new level crossing information represents the protected state of the level crossing, the vehicle-mounted equipment stops bringing the speed limit of the level crossing into the most limited speed curve, the speed is allowed to be raised, and the train can run in an accelerated manner. The invention is implemented to continuously receive the information of the level crossing at the stage that the train passes through the level crossing, monitor the protection state of the level crossing and improve the efficiency of the train passing through the level crossing on the premise of ensuring the safety.
For a level crossing without a level crossing protection system, the ground equipment sends the information of the level crossing in an unprotected state to the vehicle-mounted equipment on the train through RBC or TCC, and the vehicle-mounted equipment brings the speed limit of the level crossing into the most limited speed curve to actively carry out safety protection.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the invention also provides a safety protection system for the level crossing. As shown in fig. 4, the system includes:
the command sending module is used for sending a closing command to the level crossing protection system;
