Optimization Design of Rail Station Signal Monitoring System Based on Role Autonomous Decentralized System

摘要

Online-expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance are vital functions of rail signal monitoring system, which can guarantee the system always in working status and satisfy the sustainable development of rail transit. Due to the limitations of traditional centralized system structure, it is necessary to optimize the design of rail station signal monitoring system to make the system possess these functions. In this research, the novel concept of Role on Autonomous Decentralized System (RoADS) is adopted to optimize the design of rail signal monitoring system. On the one hand, RoADS has the characteristic of role dynamic conversion which is essential to realize the special function of online-expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance. On the other hand, RoADS also can support the basic function of data collection. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, a case study has been performed on ZPW-2000 track circuit monitoring system which is the subsystem of rail signal system mainly responsible to monitor the track circuit. The results clearly indicate that the optimized system based on RoADS can not only realize the function of data collection, but also possess the function of online-expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance. Consequently, the proposed method based on RoADS can improve the safety level of rail transit and reduce the cost operation which is of great significance for maintaining the sustainable urban development of rail transit.
