On-rail train management system, ground apparatus, and train management method
When there is a train entering a building of a rail yard, a ground apparatus stores vehicle-formation-set IDs of respective vehicle-formation-sets of the train in the entering order by a FILO method. Additionally, when there is the train leaving the building, the vehicle-formation-set IDs are sequentially read by the FILO method, an inquiry addressed to the vehicle-formation-set IDs is transmitted in the order of the reading to obtain the train information from the on-board apparatus of each of the vehicle-formation-sets forming the train. When the on-board apparatus does not respond to the inquiry, and obtaining of the train information fails, the ground apparatus performs a predetermined alarm output control.
1. An on-rail train management system comprising an on-board apparatus and a ground apparatus,
wherein wireless communication between the on-board apparatus and the ground apparatus being impossible or difficult when a train enters a building of a rail yard, but possible in commercial operation,
the train being formed by one or more vehicle-formation-sets,
the on-board apparatus
being mounted on each of the vehicle-formation-sets, and executing
storing IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets,
transmitting train information including the IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets to the ground apparatus in response to an inquiry from the ground apparatus, and
performing a predetermined emergency stop control when determining that there is not the inquiry from the ground apparatus after leaving the building, and
the ground apparatus executing,
when there is the train entering the building, storing the IDs of the respective vehicle-formation-sets of the train in an entering order by a FILO (First-In-Last-Out) method,
when there is the train leaving the building, sequentially reading the IDs by the FILO method, performing the inquiry based on the IDs in the order of the reading to obtain the train information from the on-board apparatus of each of the vehicle-formation-sets forming the train, and
performing a predetermined alarm output control when the on-board apparatus does not respond to the inquiry, and obtaining of the train information fails.
2. The on-rail train management system according to claim 1 , wherein, at the time of the commercial operation, out of the most inbound-side vehicle-formation-set forming the train and the most outbound-side vehicle-formation-set forming the train, the on-board apparatus of either one of the vehicle-formation-sets is defined as a parent apparatus, and the parent apparatus notifies the ground apparatus of the ID of each of the vehicle-formation-sets forming the train, in association with a coupling order of the vehicle-formation-sets, included in the train information together with position information of the train.
3. A ground apparatus of an on-rail train management system comprising an on-board apparatus and the ground apparatus,
wireless communication between the on-board apparatus and the ground apparatus being impossible or difficult when a train enters a building of a rail yard, but possible in commercial operation,
the train being formed by one or more vehicle-formation-sets,
the on-board apparatus being mounted on each of the vehicle-formation-sets, and executing storing IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets, transmitting train information including the IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets to the ground apparatus in response to an inquiry from the ground apparatus, and performing a predetermined emergency stop control when determining that there is not the inquiry from the ground apparatus after leaving the building,
when there is the train entering the building, storing the IDs of the respective vehicle-formation-sets of the train in an entering order by a FILO (First-In-Last-Out) method,
when there is the train leaving the building, sequentially reading the IDs by the FILO method, performing the inquiry based on the IDs in the order of the reading to obtain the train information from the on-board apparatus of each of the vehicle-formation-sets forming the train, and
performing a predetermined alarm output control when the on-board apparatus does not respond to the inquiry, and obtaining of the train information fails.
4. A train management method in an on-rail train management system comprising an on-board apparatus and a ground apparatus,
wireless communication between the on-board apparatus and the ground apparatus being impossible or difficult when a train enters a building of a rail yard, but possible in commercial operation,
the train being formed by one or more vehicle-formation-sets,
the on-board apparatus being mounted on each of the vehicle-formation-sets, and storing IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets,
the train management method comprising:
transmitting, by the on-board apparatus, train information including the IDs of the vehicle-formation-sets to the ground apparatus in response to an inquiry from the ground apparatus,
when there is the train entering the building, storing, by the ground apparatus, the IDs of the respective vehicle-formation-sets of the train in an entering order by a FILO (First-In-Last-Out) method,
when there is the train leaving the building, sequentially reading, by the ground apparatus, the IDs by the FILO method, performing the inquiry based on the IDs in the order of the reading to obtain the train information from the on-board apparatus of each of the vehicle-formation-sets forming the train,
performing, by the ground apparatus, a predetermined alarm output control when the on-board apparatus does not respond to the inquiry and obtaining of the train information fails, and
performing, by the on-board apparatus, a predetermined emergency stop control when determining that there is not the inquiry from the ground apparatus after leaving the building.
