Abstract

The present invention relates to a pushing rescue train management method in a zone controller (ZC), a device, and a medium. The method includes the following steps: step A: activating a train rescue zone in the ZC; step B: updating, by the ZC, “automatic rescue train protection” to a going-to-rescue state; step C: calculating, by the ZC, going-to-rescue movement authority (MA) for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state to “automatic rescued train protection”; step D: updating, by the ZC, the “automatic rescue train protection” to a performing-rescue state; and step E: calculating, by the ZC, pushing rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection”. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has advantages of a highly abstract processing mechanism, applicability to various train rescue scenarios, and the like.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pushing rescue train management method in a zone controller (ZC), comprising the following steps:
 step A: activating a train rescue zone in the ZC;   step B: updating, by the ZC, “automatic rescue train protection” to a going-to-rescue state;   step C: calculating, by the ZC, going-to-rescue movement authority (MA) for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state to “automatic rescued train protection”;   step D: updating, by the ZC, the “automatic rescue train protection” to a performing-rescue state; and   step E: calculating, by the ZC, pushing rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection”.   
     
     
         2 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein the activating the train rescue zone in the ZC in step A is used to complete pushing rescue by the “automatic rescue train protection” for the “automatic rescued train protection”. 
     
     
         3 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein an activated train rescue zone in step A needs to comprise a section of a train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection”. 
     
     
         4 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step A, the ZC calculates ineffective MA for all non-rescue “automatic train protection” that intersects with an activated train rescue zone, to prevent the non-rescue “automatic train protection” outside the activated train rescue zone from entering the activated train rescue zone. 
     
     
         5 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step B, the ZC sets the “automatic rescue train protection” to the going-to-rescue state based on the going-to-rescue state of a rescue train corresponding to the “automatic rescue train protection”. 
     
     
         6 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step B, the ZC calculates effective MA in an activated train rescue zone for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state that intersects with the activated train rescue zone; and
 the ZC calculates the effective MA for entering the activated train rescue zone for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state outside the activated train rescue zone. 
 
     
     
         7 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step C, the ZC calculates the going-to-rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state to perform coupling rescue on the “automatic rescued train protection”, wherein the going-to-rescue MA comprises going-to-rescue collision-allowable MA and a going-to-rescue collision-allowable speed. 
     
     
         8 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step C, the going-to-rescue MA calculated by the ZC for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state comprises a going-to-rescue coupling deceleration point and a going-to-rescue coupling safety limit point. 
     
     
         9 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 8 , wherein when a rescued train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection” is a communication-positioned train, the ZC calculates the going-to-rescue coupling deceleration point for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state in consideration of a positioning error of the rescued train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection”. 
     
     
         10 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 8 , wherein when a rescued train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection” is a non-communication train or a position-lost train, the ZC calculates the going-to-rescue coupling deceleration point for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state in consideration of an occupied state of a secondary detection device and a hanging distance of the rescued train in a zone in which the “automatic rescued train protection” is located, wherein the secondary detection device is an axle counter or a track circuit. 
     
     
         11 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step C, the ZC calculates ineffective MA for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the going-to-rescue state with a head in a non-coupled state. 
     
     
         12 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step D, the ZC sets the “automatic rescue train protection” to the performing-rescue state based on the performing-rescue state of a rescue train corresponding to the “automatic rescue train protection”. 
     
     
         13 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step D, the ZC calculates effective pushing rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the performing-rescue state with a head in a non-coupled state in an activated train rescue zone. 
     
     
         14 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step E, the effective pushing rescue MA calculated by the ZC for the “automatic rescue train protection” in the performing-rescue state with a head in a non-coupled state in an activated train rescue zone is not beyond the activated train rescue zone. 
     
     
         15 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step E, if an identity of a rescued train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection” is determined, the ZC calculates a starting point of the pushing rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection” as minimum head coordinates of a rescue train corresponding to the “automatic rescue train protection” with the length of the rescued train in front. 
     
     
         16 . The pushing rescue train management method in the ZC according to  claim 1 , wherein in step E, if an identity of a rescued train corresponding to the “automatic rescued train protection” is unknown, the ZC calculates a starting point of the pushing rescue MA for the “automatic rescue train protection” as minimum head coordinates of a rescue train corresponding to the “automatic rescue train protection” with a default length of the rescued train in front, wherein the length of a longest rescued train in a line is considered for the default length of the rescued train. 
     
     
         17 . An electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and when the processor executes the program, the method according to  claim 1  is implemented. 
     
     
         18 . A computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein when the program is executed by a processor, the method according to  claim 1  is implemented.
