System and method for vehicle movement modeling in a railway network

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for vehicle movement modeling in a network. The modeling may be characterized by vehicle related intelligence gathering, processing and dissemination thereof for an adaptive rescheduling of the vehicle movement in the railway network. Predefined data associated with the vehicle in the railway network is acquired and is further processed to resolve one or more conflicts associated with the vehicle movement. The processing may include allocating resources, developing plans for voyages, and continuously gathering deviation data. The vehicle movement modeling may also include generating detailed layouts of vehicle movements for particular time-periods over the railway network.

1. A method for vehicle movement modeling in a railway network based on vehicle related intelligence gathering, processing and dissemination thereof for an adaptive rescheduling of the vehicle movement in the railway network, the method comprising:
acquiring, predefined data related to a type, a position, a movement and a schedule associated with vehicles in railway networks with respect to changes at regular intervals; processing the predefined data to ensure an absence of resource usage conflicts in the railway networks, the processing further comprising:
allocating one or more resources for one or more voyages of one or more vehicles,developing plans for the voyages, wherein the plans are intended to minimize deviations of scheduled vehicles from published timetables and maximize a throughput of non-timetabled vehicles; andcomputing one or more occupations, wherein the occupations include consideration of inter-vehicle safety gap over and above the headway clearance by a previous vehicle and inter-vehicle start gap to accommodate power consumption, wherein the power consumption includes surges when the vehicle accelerates; and generating one or more visual depictions of the plans in form of train graphs and detailed layouts of past, present and future vehicular movements on a plurality of sections of the railway networks, over a defined time horizon.
