A train driving assistance method includes: pre-setting a train traveling line database (S0); acquiring the position of a train (S1); acquiring the position information about the next early-warning point (S2); calculating an early-warning distance between the train and the next early-warning point according to the position of the train and the position information about the next early-warning point (S3); when the early-warning distance is calculated to be smaller than a pre-set value, displaying the early-warning information corresponding to the position information about the next early-warning point (S4); screening an optimal solution according to the train arrival time information and the number brake times of the train (S5); and determining the driving information according to the optimal solution and displaying the determined driving information (S6). Through the method, more driving reference information can be provided for the driver. Also provided is a train driving assistance system.
