  • Publication number: 20240116551
    Abstract: A method for a degraded train emergency rescue includes: obtaining a communication status of a private communication network that connects a train to a ground system, to a front train, and to a rear train; determining whether the private communication network fails based on the communication status; in response to determining that the private communication network fails, restarting an on-board private network switch of the train; determining whether the private communication network is recovered after the on-board private network switch is restarted; in response to determining that the private communication network is not recovered, starting an on-board public network switch of the train, and establishing public network communication between the train and each of the front train and the rear train; and performing an emergency rescue through a public network.

  • Publication number: 20240116553
    Abstract: A method for preventing a turnout conflict of a railway is applicable to a railway controller and includes: receiving a first request from a first train and a second request from a second train for using a turnout within a time period; determining whether a first distance between a current position of the first train and the turnout is equal to a second distance between a current position of the second train and the turnout; and in response to determining that the first distance is equal to the second distance, determining a priority user based on first arrival information of the first train and second arrival information of the second train, where the arrival information includes whether the train arrives at a next parking station on schedule, ahead of schedule, or behind schedule when running at a maximum running speed.

  • Publication number: 20230278609
    Abstract: A method of consisting a train, includes: by a first vehicle, receiving the train consist control instruction transmitted by the train control device, where the train consist control instruction is configured to instruct the first vehicle for consisting the train; determining a second vehicle for consisting the train according to the train consist control instruction; detecting a first inter-vehicle distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle; receiving a second inter-vehicle distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle transmitted by the second vehicle, where the second inter-vehicle distance comprises a distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle detected by the second vehicle; and in response to that a difference between the first inter-vehicle distance and the second inter-vehicle distance is less than or equal to a first distance threshold, controlling the first vehicle to couple to the second vehicle to consist the train.

  • Publication number: 20230278559
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle, includes: acquiring current first vehicle state information of a first vehicle; determining a target vehicle distance according to the current first vehicle state information, where the target vehicle distance includes an inter-vehicle distance between the first vehicle and a second vehicle to enable synchronous control of the first vehicle and the second vehicle; determining a first target operating condition corresponding to the first vehicle according to the target vehicle distance and the current first vehicle state information; and receiving second vehicle operation information transmitted by the second vehicle, and adjusting the inter-vehicle distance to the target vehicle distance by controlling an operation of the first vehicle according to the first target operating condition and the second vehicle operation information.
