Abstract

A train driving assistance method includes: pre-setting a train traveling line database (S 0 ); acquiring the position of a train (S 1 ); acquiring the position information about the next early-warning point (S 2 ); 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 (S 3 ); 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 (S 4 ); screening an optimal solution according to the train arrival time information and the number brake times of the train (S 5 ); and determining the driving information according to the optimal solution and displaying the determined driving information (S 6 ). Through the method, more driving reference information can be provided for the driver. Also provided is a train driving assistance system.
