  • 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: 20240098681
    Abstract: A positioning system includes a target device and multiple base stations connected with the target device. The multiple base stations include a master base station and multiple slave base stations that include a first slave base station and a second slave base station and are serially connected based on a synchronization order. The master base station is connected with the first slave base station. The master base station transmits a first positioning information to the target device and transmits a synchronization message to the multiple slave base stations based on the synchronization order. Each of the slave base stations transmits a second positioning information to the target device. The target device obtains location information of the target device based on an inter-station delay, a base station location, a first time receiving the first positioning information, and a second time receiving the second positioning information.
