Abstract

The invention relates to a method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system. The method comprises the following steps: S1, starting the system for offline message loading and reading; S2, obtaining message data to be scrambled; S3, sending the message to be scrambled to a scrambling operation board for scrambling; S4, performing inverse decoding processing on an operation board; S5, performing comparison after decoding; and S6, outputting effective message data. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages of being capable of guaranteeing the safety and reliability of message data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for guaranteeing a reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system, comprising the following steps:
step S1, starting a system for offline message loading and reading;
step S2, obtaining messages to be scrambled;
step S3, sending the messages to be scrambled to a scrambling operation board for scrambling;
step S4, performing an inverse decoding on an operation board;
step S5, performing a comparison after the inverse decoding, further comprising:
message data subjected to the inverse decoding are compared with originally selected message data, if the message data and the originally selected message data are consistent, it means that the scrambling is correct and scrambled messages are valid, and otherwise, the scrambled messages are invalid; and

step S6, outputting effective message data.

2. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein in the step S1,
the system is powered on to initialize and read offline template message data, and then store the same in a memory area.

3. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein in the step S2,
a logic operation board of a train control center selects the messages to be scrambled according to input conditions, and stores the same in a memory area.

4. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 3 , wherein the external input conditions include speed limit initialization state, route information and temporary speed limit information.

5. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein in the step S3,
after the logical operation board of the train control center completes message selection, the messages to be scrambled are sent to the scrambling operation board for scrambling, and after the scrambling operation board performs scrambling, scrambled message data are sent back to the logical operation board for the inverse decoding.

6. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein in the step S4,
after receiving the scrambled messages sent by the scrambling operation board, a logic operation board of the train control center performs the inverse decoding on the scrambled messages, and then stores the same in an inverse decoding memory area.

7. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 6 , wherein the logic operation board is a 2-out-of-2 system, dual-central processing unit synchronous inverse decoding is performed, and 2-out-of-2 comparison is performed for consistency verification.

8. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein in the step S6,
the train control center sends the scrambled messages to a balise only when the messages subjected to the inverse decoding are consistent with originally selected messages, and otherwise, the scrambled messages are directed to a safe side for processing instead of being sent to the balise.

9. The method for guaranteeing the reliability of real-time scrambling and message transmission by a train control center system according to claim 1 , wherein the scrambling and the inverse decoding are respectively performed on different central processing units.
