METHOD OF REMOVING SUSPECTED SECTION OF TRACK BACKGROUND

摘要

A method of removing a suspected section from a record includes obtaining an estimated distance between a communicating vehicle and a block boundary of a first block and a second block of a track. The suspected section is defined as a section of the first block between a communicating vehicle and a block boundary of the first block and the second block. An occupancy status of the second block is obtained. The suspected section is removed from the record after, for a predetermined time period, (a) the estimated distance remains less than a predetermined threshold distance and (b) the occupancy status of the second block remains a vacant state, the predetermined time period being a non-zero time period.

1. A method of removing a suspected section of track from a record, the suspected section being defined as a section of a first block of a track between a communicating vehicle and a block boundary of the first block and a second block of the track, the method comprising:
determining, by a hardware processor, an estimated distance between the communicating vehicle and the block boundary; determining, by the processor, an occupancy status of the second block; and removing the suspected section from the record after, for a predetermined time period, (a) the estimated distance remains less than a predetermined threshold distance and (b) the occupancy status of the second block remains a vacant state, the predetermined time period being a non-zero time period.
