    摘要: A method for train positioning includes: periodically transmitting, by a balise transmission module (BTM), balise data to a vehicle on-board controller (VOBC) according to a rule; periodically receiving, by the VOBC, the balise data transmitted by the BTM, and periodically obtaining a data frame, the data frame comprising a current traveling time tn, a current traveling speed vn, and a current traveling distance sn of a train; and determining, by the VOBC based on the received balise data and the obtained data frame, a location of the train when the train passes a balise.

    摘要: A method for controlling train operation, includes: receiving an instruction indicating permission to enter a train autonomous circumambulation system (TACS) control level; in response to the train satisfies a condition for entering the TACS control level, controlling the train to enter the TACS control level and transmitting a TACS control notification to a ground device in a route section in which the train is located, the ground device communicating with the train through the TACS control notification based on a TACS control level protocol; and operating the train based on the TACS control level.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method for a degraded train emergency rescue includes: obtaining a communication status of a private communication network that connects a train to a ground system, to a front train, and to a rear train; determining whether the private communication network fails based on the communication status; in response to determining that the private communication network fails, restarting an on-board private network switch of the train; determining whether the private communication network is recovered after the on-board private network switch is restarted; in response to determining that the private communication network is not recovered, starting an on-board public network switch of the train, and establishing public network communication between the train and each of the front train and the rear train; and performing an emergency rescue through a public network.
