Abstract

A train dispatching control method includes obtaining a train marshalling instruction, determining target carriages corresponding to a marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on to-be-dispatched parking lines, and controlling all the target carriages to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to a marshalling dispatch parking line, to form a target train. The train marshalling instruction includes the marshalling quantity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A train dispatching control method, comprising:
obtaining a train marshalling instruction, the train marshalling instruction comprising a marshalling quantity;
determining target carriages corresponding to the marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on to-be-dispatched parking lines; and
controlling the target carriages to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to a marshalling dispatch parking line, to form a target train,
wherein the to-be-dispatched carriages comprise at least one head carriage, at least one tail carriage, and at least one middle carriage, and the to-be-dispatched parking lines comprise a first parking line for parking the head carriage and the tail carriage and a second parking line for parking the middle carriage, one head carriage and one tail carriage being a group; and
the determining target carriages corresponding to the marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines comprises:
determining an outermost group of head carriage and tail carriage on the first parking line based on the carriage positioning information corresponding to the to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines; and
determining N-2 outermost middle carriages on the second parking line based on the carriage positioning information corresponding to the to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines, N being the marshalling quantity, and
the target carriages comprising the outermost group of head carriage and tail carriage on the first parking line and the N-2 outermost middle carriages on the second parking line.

2. A train dispatching control method, comprising:
obtaining a train marshalling instruction, the train marshalling instruction comprising a marshalling quantity;
determining target carriages corresponding to the marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on to-be-dispatched parking lines; and
controlling the target carriages to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to a marshalling dispatch parking line, to form a target train,
wherein the marshalling dispatch parking line and the to-be-dispatched parking lines intersect at a parking line intersection, and the marshalling dispatch parking line comprises a first parking region and a second parking region formed based on the parking line intersection; and
the controlling the target carriages to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to a marshalling dispatch parking line, to form a target train comprises:
obtaining a train length corresponding to the target carriages and a region length corresponding to the first parking region;
obtaining, based on a comparison result of the train length and the region length, a marshalling dispatch sequence and a driving control instruction corresponding to the comparison result; and
sequentially controlling, based on the marshalling dispatch sequence, the target carriages to execute the driving control instruction to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to the marshalling dispatch parking line, to form the target train.

3. The train dispatching control method according to claim 2 , wherein the driving control instruction comprises a target driving route, and the sequentially controlling the target carriages to execute the driving control instruction comprises:
sending the driving control instruction to carriage control platforms assembled on the target carriages, so that the carriage control platforms control the target carriages to drive according to the target driving route, acquire obstacle detection information and carriage positioning information in real time, and control the target carriages to perform obstacle avoidance driving control based on the obstacle detection information and the carriage positioning information until a driving destination is reached.

4. The train dispatching control method according to claim 3 , wherein the controlling the target carriages to perform obstacle avoidance driving control based on the obstacle detection information and the carriage positioning information comprises:
obtaining, if the obstacle detection information is that an obstacle exists, an obstacle duration corresponding to the obstacle; and
forming obstacle prompt information based on the obstacle detection information and the carriage positioning information if the obstacle duration is greater than a preset duration threshold, and sending the obstacle prompt information to a system control platform.

5. The train dispatching control method according to claim 3 , wherein the target driving route comprises a starting driving route and an ending driving route, and the starting driving route and the ending driving route intersect at the parking line intersection; and
the controlling the target carriages to drive automatically according to the target driving route comprises:
determining, if the target driving route is of a target route type, whether the target carriages cross the parking line intersection based on the carriage positioning information acquired in real time when the target carriages are controlled to drive automatically on the starting driving route; and
generating a reversing instruction if the target carriages cross the parking line intersection, to control the target carriages to drive automatically on the ending driving route.

6. A system control platform, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the processor, when executing the computer program, performing a train dispatching control method to:
obtain a train marshalling instruction, the train marshalling instruction comprising a marshalling quantity;
determine target carriages corresponding to the marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on to-be-dispatched parking lines; and
control the target carriages to drive from the to-be-dispatched parking lines to a marshalling dispatch parking line, to form a target train,
wherein the to-be-dispatched carriages comprise at least one head carriage, at least one tail carriage, and at least one middle carriage, and the to-be-dispatched parking lines comprise a first parking line for parking the head carriage and the tail carriage and a second parking line for parking the middle carriage, one head carriage and one tail carriage being a group; and
to determine target carriages corresponding to the marshalling quantity based on carriage positioning information corresponding to to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines, the processor performs:
determining an outermost group of head carriage and tail carriage on the first parking line based on the carriage positioning information corresponding to the to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines; and
determining N-2 outermost middle carriages on the second parking line based on the carriage positioning information corresponding to the to-be-dispatched carriages parked on the to-be-dispatched parking lines, N being the marshalling quantity, and
the target carriages comprising the outermost group of head carriage and tail carriage on the first parking line and the N-2 outermost middle carriages on the second parking line.

7. The system control platform according to claim 6 , wherein the system control platform is connected to at least one intelligent carriage of a train dispatching control system, and the system control platform communicates with a carriage control platfo
