Train control method based on mobile authorization verification

1 . A train control method based on mobile authorization verification, the method comprising:

calculating, by a vehicle-mounted device, a first mobile authorization according to line data, trackside resource allocation and locking situation, and position information of a train in front;

calculating, by a resource management unit (RMU) in a ground trackside device, a second mobile authorization according to the line data, the trackside resource allocation and locking situation, and the position information of trains in front and behind, and sending the second mobile authorization to the vehicle-mounted device; and

comparing, by the vehicle-mounted device, the first mobile authorization with the second mobile authorization, and selecting a stricter one of the first and second mobile authorizations to control train operation;

wherein the trackside resources comprise fixed resources and movable resources, wherein the fixed resources comprise section track zones and tracks and can be used by trains after being allocated, and wherein the movable resources comprise track zones with turnouts and can be used only when allocated and locked by the current train; and

wherein calculating the first mobile authorization comprises searching forward from a position of the vehicle-mounted device's own train to determine an end point of the mobile authorization based on whether resources are occupied by other trains, and for unoccupied resources, based on whether the resources have been allocated to the current train and, if the resources are movable resources, locked by the current train.

2 . The train control method based on mobile authorization verification according to claim 1 , wherein the comparison of the mobile authorization information follows the principles below:

(1) if an end point of the mobile authorization calculated by the vehicle-mounted device is greater than an authorized end point calculated by the RMU, the vehicle-mounted device will reduce an end point of driving permission to the authorized end point calculated by the RMU;

(2) if an end point of the mobile authorization calculated by the vehicle-mounted device is less than an authorized end point calculated by the RMU, the vehicle-mounted device will calculate an authorized end point according to the mobile authorization calculated by the vehicle-mounted device;

(3) if communication between the vehicle-mounted device and the RMU is normal in the case of a communication failure between front and back trains, the vehicle-mounted device will calculate the mobile authorization according to resource allocation obtained from the RMU and compare the same with the mobile authorization sent by the RMU; and

(4) if the vehicle-mounted device cannot obtain the usage situation of ground resources in the case of a vehicle-to-ground communication failure, vehicle control is conducted in a degraded mode of CTCS-2 or driving is conducted in a mode of manual OnSight driving.

3 . The train control method based on mobile authorization verification according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle-mounted device and the RMU have line data with consistent results; the vehicle-mounted device applies to the RMU for resource occupation and locking of the movable resources, and obtains the resource allocation and movable resource locking situation from the RMU; and the vehicle-mounted device sends an application for resource sharing to the train in front through vehicle-to-vehicle communication and obtains the position of the train in front and the resource sharing status from the train in front, and the RMU obtains corresponding position information and resource sharing information from the trains in front and behind respectively according to vehicle-to-ground communication.

4 . The train control method based on mobile authorization verification according to claim 1 , wherein when calculating the mobile authorization, the RMU calculates the mobile authorization of all trains within the RMU, and can obtain the resource situation of the current train from an adjacent RMU.

5 . The train control method based on mobile authorization verification according to claim 1 , wherein when communication between the trains in front and behind in the system is interrupted or there is a non-communication vehicle, the process of calculating and comparing the mobile authorization by the vehicle-mounted device of a train with normal vehicle-to-ground communication and the RMU is normally conducted.
