Train operation control system

摘要

In accordance with a predetermined segment definition rule based on a point-switch protection section, a point switch control direction, and a train advancing direction, a plurality of segments are defined in advance with respect to a railway network. Segment competition information in which a competitive relationship between the plurality of segments is set in advance is prepared. A segment use permission setting part determines whether or not a competition for a use-requested segment in terms of a train operation occurs between the plurality of trains, by using segment competition information and segment use permission status information. A use-requested segment for which it is determined that no competition occurs is incorporated, as a use permission segment, into use permission segment information of the corresponding train. In accordance with a result of the competition determination, the segment use permission status information is updated.

主权项

1. A train operation control system that controls operations of a plurality of trains existing on tracks of a railway network, said train operation control system comprising:
a train control device mounted on each train and configured to obtain information of a current position of an own train; a segment competition information storage part that stores segment competition information prepared by: defining in advance a plurality of segments with respect to said railway network in accordance with a predetermined segment definition rule based on a point-switch protection section, a control direction of a point switch, and an advancing direction of a train; and setting in advance a competitive relationship between said plurality of segments; a use segment request device configured to, based on information of said current position, select a use-requested segment that is a segment for which a use permission is requested in order to operate a train, and prepare a use-requested segment information; a segment use permission status information storage part that stores segment use permission status information in which a use permission status of each segment is registered; and a segment use permission setting part configured to: obtain said use-requested segment information from each train; in accordance with a predetermined competition determination process using said segment competition information and said segment use permission status information, determine whether or not a competition for said use-requested segment in terms of the train operation occurs between said plurality of trains; cause said use-requested segment for which it is determined that no competition occurs to be incorporated, as a use permission segment, into use permission segment information of the corresponding train; and update said segment use permission status information in accordance with a result of a competition determination.
