WIRELESS TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM AND WIRELESS TRAIN CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A radio train control system 8 aims at suppressing increase in facility cost and reliably performing on-track control of trains 6A and 6B even when ground base devices 3A and 3B are out of order, controls the trains 6A and 6B on tracks on which track circuits are built, and includes: ground radio devices 4A and 4B that perform radio communication with the trains 6A and 6B and acquire position information of the trains 6A and 6B; field devices 5A and 5B that acquire track circuit state information indicating whether each of the track circuits is ON or OFF; ground base devices 3A and 3B that receive the position information and the track circuit state information and transmit control information to the trains 6A and 6B; and an on-track vehicle control device 1 that receives the position information and the track circuit state information and manages on-track information, wherein the ground radio devices 4A and 4B and the field devices 5A and 5B have transmission paths connected with the on-track vehicle control device 1 without using the ground base devices 3A and 3B, and the on-track vehicle control device 1 is capable of transmitting the control information to the trains 6A and 6B through the transmission paths when the ground base device 3A or 3B is out of order.
