method of controlling the hybrid operation of trains with different forming lengths and communication-based train control system

摘要

a method of controlling the hybrid operation of trains of varying lengths and a communication-based train control (cbtc) system. the method comprises: before a train travels to a cbtc area, determining, according to a predetermined filter area, whether there is any other vehicle in front of the train in a direction of travel (s100); If there is no other vehicle ahead of the train in its direction of travel, determine a train formation length according to the filter area (s200); determine, according to train formation length and filter area, whether there is any other vehicle behind the train in the direction of travel of the train, and whether there is another vehicle behind the train in the direction of travel of the train, providing a train movement permit (s300). The solution can determine if any other vehicle exists in front of a train through a predefined filter area, determine a train formation length through the filter area, and then determine if there is another vehicle behind the train to quickly provide the train with permitting movement in time and also to support the hybrid operation of trains of varying lengths.
