Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
The invention is applied to a road traffic signal simulation system of a tram, integrates a road traffic signal control system (TSC, traffic signal controller for short, controlling road traffic signal lamp) on an industrial personal computer, realizes the external IO input and output of the industrial personal computer through a real DIO board card, and is used for butting a real tram track signal system (OLC for short, optimal level-crossing controller for controlling a signal lamp special for the tram) so as to completely simulate the real physical interfaces of two systems. In addition, the whole architecture of the road traffic signal system is integrated in the operating system of the industrial personal computer through an external interface of traffic flow simulation software by utilizing the prior art. The real road running environment of the tramcar can be completely simulated in software, elements such as speed, station, crossing, road traffic flow and the like of the tramcar in the environment are fully restored, and the simulation test can be closer to the actual scene as much as possible.
The UI interaction module in the simulation system also realizes acquisition, analysis and processing of the IO module signal quantity, outputs the signal quantity to the TSC system through a software interface after receiving the detector signal quantity from the OLC system, realizes the priority triggering of the tramcar crossing in the simulation scene, and the TSC system can operate the tramcar crossing priority strategy and adjust the road signal according to the priority signals, wherein the method comprises the modes of ending the previous red light phase in advance, prolonging the passing phase of the tramcar, inserting a special phase for the tramcar and the like, and different priority strategies are determined according to the road signal phase when the tramcar reaches the crossing in advance. After the simulation TSC system intersection is preferentially applied, when the signal wheel is turned to the tram priority communication phase, a corresponding track signal control instruction is output to the UI interaction module through the software interface, the UI interaction module analyzes and processes the track signal control instruction, and then the IO module outputs the control signal quantity of the track signal lamp to the OLC system, so that the implementation of the tram signal priority and the linkage of two systems of the road track are finally completed.
The simulation system can be well used for testing and verifying a tramcar real rail side signal system, can also be used as an evaluation tool for the influence of the tramcar on the road traffic flow along the line, and has very important practical significance.
The invention is characterized in that the simulation system comprises the following key points:
1. the system has a complete tramcar intersection priority system architecture, basically covers each component part in a real tramcar signal control system, furthest restores a real scene, reduces the complexity of the whole system, and has good operability, easy deployment and good expansibility. The simulation system of the invention can be mainly divided into a plurality of components, namely a road traffic signal control system TSC, a tramcar urban road simulation environment, a track signal control system OLC and a UI interaction module.
2. The interface between the TSC system and the OLC system in the actual application scene is realized by adopting components such as the data acquisition IO board card, the terminal strip, the hard wire, the relay and the like. The method realizes the interconnection of the real OLC system and the TSC system integrated on the PC, furthest reserves the real restoration of the interface, and plays a very important role in test verification and simulation. In addition, the simulation system of the invention can also provide an additional network interface, and the docking of the OLC system and the TSC system can be realized in the form of Ethernet. If multiple-intersection simulation test is needed, the invention can realize data interaction with the OLC system through the network under the condition that enough OLC cabinets cannot be provided, and can fully support the test and simulation scene of multiple intersections.
The UI interaction module can provide a manual input mode for a user, and the manual input mode can bring great testing freedom to the user, particularly when a simulation system needs to simulate some more complex tramcar intersection priority scenes. All the input of the trackside detector and the output of the signal lamp control instruction on the UI software interface can be operated by clicking of a user, so that the triggering of the input and the output of each path is realized, and the requirements of different testing scenes of the user are met. In addition, the simulation system supports both companion and priority requests for operation modes. When the software is in the companion mode, the UI software no longer responds to the advance notice and request detector signals input from the OLC, but controls the rotation of the tram-specific signals in accordance with the road signal light status output from the TSC system. When the software is in the priority request mode, the UI software normally forwards the forecast and request detector signals input from the OLC to the TSC system, and the TSC system needs to give a signal for the tramcar to pass preferentially according to the collected forecast and request signals.
The key point 1 is characterized in that the invention simulates a complete tram intersection priority system, and comprises a road traffic signal control system TSC, a tram urban road simulation environment, a UI interaction module and an externally-butted track signal control system OLC.
The main components of the TSC system are a road signal lamp, a road signal controller and a road signal control algorithm, and the system is mainly responsible for controlling the road traffic signal system and also has a tram priority control mode, when no tram arrives at an intersection, the road traffic signal is controlled in a conventional manner, when the tram approaches the intersection, the priority control mode is entered, the time of the train arriving at the intersection is estimated, and the road traffic signal is adjusted to be the tram priority open traffic phase. The system collects the priority forecast, request and occupation signals of the tram crossing from the OLC system, the input signals are all in the form of level signals, when the input signals are collected and the priority request of the tram is completed, the TSC operates the tram priority control algorithm, and after the signals are adjusted, the instruction of starting the signal lamp is output to the OLC system, the output signals are also in the form of level signals, and the output is completed to the OLC system through a hard wire. The interaction between the TSC system and the road traffic flow simulation software is realized through an external interface of the simulation software.
The urban road simulation environment of the tramcar refers to the actual running environment of the tramcar, and comprises various factors such as the length and trend of a running line, the running simulation of the tramcar, the arrangement mode of the track line, the arrangement mode of a station, the distribution of intersections along the line, the road traffic flow, the pedestrians crossing the street and the like, wherein the factors can bring a certain influence to the running of the tramcar. When the tramcar is simulated, the more perfect these factors are, the more the simulation result is close to the real situation. In the invention, the simulation of the urban road environment of the tramcar is realized by road traffic flow simulation software.
The main components of the OLC system are a track signal lamp, a trackside detector, a track signal controller and a track signal control algorithm, and the system is mainly responsible for controlling a track traffic signal system. The OLC system will arrange the trackside detectors at the tramway track adjacent to the intersection, each detector being arranged at a different location according to the function. The distance from the intersection can be divided into a preview, a request, an entering and an exiting detector in sequence from far to near. When the train passes through the detector, the trackside detector is excited and outputs a level signal to the OLC controller, and after the OLC receives the signal, the OLC outputs a corresponding signal to the TSC system according to control algorithm logic and drives a special signal lamp of the tramcar according to feedback of the TSC system. Thus, unified linkage of the tramcar signal and the road traffic signal is realized.
The UI interaction module is an interaction interface with a user, and can be divided into a DIO module, a UI interaction module and a traffic simulation module according to functions. The DIO module comprises a digital input/output board card, and the DIO module is in butt joint with an OLC system through a terminal block and a relay which are externally connected. The UI interaction module is an operation interface provided for a user, and the user can intuitively see states of each trackside detector, signal lamps, intersection priority notice, request, occupation and the like in the tramcar signal system on the UI interface; the states of all the detectors and the signal lamps in the signal system can be controlled through a manual input mode, so that different test scenes can be simulated; the simulation map can be loaded, and the real-time running state and key parameters of the train in the simulation scene are checked through an interface of the traffic flow simulation software. The traffic simulation module utilizes an interface of traffic flow simulation software, realizes the butt joint with a simulation scene in the background, can output various key parameters and traffic evaluation results in the road traffic flow simulation scene to the UI interaction interface, and the UI interface can also input control parameters of a track signal system to the simulation scene through the interface so as to finish the operation simulation of the tramcar in a real line.
The key point 2 is characterized in that a level signal acquisition mode is adopted between the simulation system and the OLC cabinet to restore the application scene in actual engineering. The industrial personal computer selected by the simulation system is provided with an extensible board card slot, and a user can install a corresponding number of IO board cards according to requirements. Through the driving and developing tool of the IO board card, the conversion of the semaphore of the operating system software and the semaphore of the physical level can be realized, and the input and the output from the software level to the hardware level can be realized. The board card can adapt to OLC systems with different input and output layout through the external terminal rows and the relay, and can support input and output signal acquisition under different voltages. By adopting the method, the real OLC and TSC system interface can be fully simulated on hardware and software, so that the test simulation process is more approximate to the real situation, the user can be helped to find problems in the test process, and the situation that the test passes due to imperfect test environment but escape problems occur in field application is reduced.
In addition, the simulation system not only supports the simulation of a single intersection priority system on a tramcar line, but also can support the simulation test of multiple intersections and even full lines. According to the scheme, the industrial personal computer and the IO board card can be expanded according to the quantity of intersections and semaphores required by users, and simulation test scenes of multiple intersections are provided for the users. Meanwhile, aiming at the test requirements of multiple intersections, the simulation system is further provided with an Ethernet interface and a communication mode, and when a user does not access the requirements of a large number of real OLC cabinets, the simulation system can realize data interaction with the outside through a network, and the acquired signal quantity is input and output in the form of the Ethernet.
The key point 3 is characterized in that the UI interaction module provides a graphical display interface and user-friendly interaction operation for a user, and an excitation signal output by a trackside detector, a level signal output by an OLC system to a TSC system, a lamp position control signal output by the TSC system to the OLC system and the like in an actual engineering application scene are intuitively presented in the UI interaction module. The UI interaction module provides two control modes, namely an automatic input mode and a manual input mode for a user. Under the automatic input mode, the simulation system can drive the TSC system and simulation software according to the detector signal quantity collected from the real OLC cabinet, and the control signal quantity of the signal lamp special for the tramcar is output to the OLC system in real time. The user can visually see the sending and receiving states of the signal quantities on the UI interaction module interface: advance notice, request, enter and leave detector status, tram specific signal light status, road traffic flow operating conditions, etc. In the manual input mode, all detectors and annunciators on the interface are changed into clickable states, and a user can manually complete input or output of the semaphore by clicking controls such as the detectors and annunciators on the interface. The manual mode can fully promote the degree of freedom of user testing, and the user can simulate complex scenes which are difficult to appear in actual operation or simulate abnormal input and output to evaluate the operation stability of the OLC system by clicking the control, so that the testing means of the user are enriched, and the comprehensive testing of the OLC system is facilitated for the user.
In addition, in the aspect of traffic simulation, the simulation system provides a user with two control modes of accompanying and prioritizing requests. In the accompanying mode, the simulation system will not collect the detector signal from clicking on the OLC system or UI interaction interface any more, the TSC system will keep its operation mode in the normal road traffic control mode, the simulation system will not open the junction priority signal for the tram, but will output the open traffic signal of the tram dedicated signal lamp to the OLC when the TSC system wheel turns to the phase belonging to the tram. In this mode, the tram will not pass through preferentially when arriving at the intersection, but will not have a major impact on the road traffic flow. In the priority request mode, the simulation system collects detector signals generated by clicking on an OLC system or a UI interactive interface, the TSC system corresponds to the collected forecast, request, entering and leaving signals, and when a tramcar arrives at an intersection, an open passing signal of a signal lamp special for the tramcar is output to the OLC according to a priority strategy to give signal priority to the tramcar.
For specific implementation of the key point 1, as shown in fig. 1, the tramcar road traffic signal simulation system in the embodiment of the invention comprises a UI interaction module, simulation traffic flow software, a TSC system and an external docking OLC system.
The OLC system can control the special signal lamp of the tram through IO signal quantity, and realize the forecast, request, entering and leaving detection of the tram in front of the intersection through the detector arranged beside the tram. The interface between the OLC system and the UI interaction module is a hard-wired level signal quantity. In implementation, the UI interaction module adopts a common PCI board card to collect level signals input and output by the IO port. The main content of the DI input signal includes detector excitation signals at different driving directions at the intersection in the OLC system, OLC system states, priority mode/accompanying mode switching, and other semaphores. The main content of the DO output signal comprises signals such as the lighting state of each lamp position, the TSC automatic/manual control mode, the TSC system state and the like of the special signal lamp of the tram fed back to the UI interaction module by the TSC.
And the DIO module realizes information interaction with the OLC system through a DIO board card. The UI interaction module comprises algorithm logic and a plurality of conventional functions, and can realize data interaction with the OLC system and the TSC system according to the switching of a manual/automatic mode and a priority request/accompanying mode.

The traffic simulation module adopts a com interface of traffic flow simulation software to realize the connection between the UI software and the traffic flow simulation software. The UI interaction module can transmit the acquired state information of each detector to the traffic flow simulation software through the interface, and acquire the state of each signal lamp group from the traffic flow simulation software so as to decide the output of control instructions of the signal lamp special for the tramcar in the OLC system. In addition, the UI interaction module is also provided with two additional communication interfaces, namely a serial port and an Ethernet.
The traffic flow simulation software can provide a perfect tramcar line operation environment construction for users, can construct a tramcar simulation operation model, relates to factors such as a line map, a line station, a driving plan, an operation speed, a road traffic flow, intersection signals, pedestrian crossing and the like, and can externally open simulation parameters such as a detector, a signal machine, a vehicle, a line and the like through a com interface. In the specific embodiment of the invention, the TSC system is implemented in the form of software, and basic parameters (such as intersection signal period and signal phase distribution) and operation logic thereof are loaded in the simulated traffic flow software.
