摘要: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed, railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs. and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.

摘要: A controller outputs, to a transport vehicle, a forward movement command for moving in the forward direction along a transport path toward a destination, and a reverse movement command for moving in a reverse direction along the transport path toward the destination. When a target task occurs, the controller determines a transport vehicle to execute the target task among a plurality of transport vehicles, while also including, as a candidate, a transport vehicle located on a downstream side of the transport path relative to the destination at a timing when the target task occurs.

摘要: A method for extracting and analyzing spatial information of a control and protection zone of rail transit with multiple threshold constraints, including the following steps: 1, performing format conversion on a data file and extracting a plurality of coordinate points; 2, selecting key points from the plurality of coordinate points for data simplification to obtain a simplified limit line, a simplified outer structure edge line and a simplified boundary line of construction; 3, programming the simplified limit line, the simplified outer structure edge line, and the simplified boundary line of construction, calling a database, and reading data therefrom for spatial relationship comparison; 4, determining whether the construction of a rail-involved construction project intrudes into a control and protection zone of rail transit according to a result of the spatial relationship comparison, thus completing the extraction and analysis of the spatial information of the control and protection zone of rail transit.

摘要: Methods and systems for real-time detection and reporting of trains is described. A system includes two train detection units (TDUs) for each railroad track intersecting a municipality boundary. Each TDU including a proximity sensor to sense a presence of an object on the railroad track, a camera to capture an image of a detected object when the object is within a detection zone, a radar to measure speed when the detected object is classified as a train, and a processor to classify the detected object, generate a timestamp corresponding to when the train entered and exited the detection zone, and determine a train length from the speed and time delta between entrance timestamp and exit timestamp. A train detection controller to receive at least the train length and a TDU identification from one of the two TDUs, and determine estimated time of arrivals for the train at different municipality locations.

摘要: A first on-board device installed on a first train controls an emergency brake unit. When it is determined that an actual deceleration value is insufficient in comparison with a predetermined emergency brake reference deceleration value, the first on-board device predicts a first stop location based on the actual deceleration value, and sends, to a ground control device, a first signal indicating insufficient deceleration and a first stop location signal representing the first stop location predicted. The ground control device sends the first signal and the first stop location signal to a second on-board device of a second train traveling ahead of the first train. The second on-board device invalidates a preset first run curve, over a range from a second train location representing an on-track location of the second train to a stop limit location of the second train, and generates a second run curve to control the second train.

摘要: A train control system includes a ground control device installed on a first route; a wireless base station connected to the ground control device; a ground control device installed on a second route that is adjacent to the first route; and a wireless base station connected to the ground control device. The ground control device performs handover reservation between with all the wireless base stations installed between a first station installed on the first route and a second station that is installed on the second route and is adjacent to the first station, and the ground control device transmits, to the ground control device, a handover reservation request between with all the wireless base stations disposed between the first station and the second station. The ground control device transmits, to the ground control device, a result of the handover reservation request between with all the wireless base stations.
