Train-installed wireless ad hoc network communication and train status real-time monitoring system
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of is main based on free space optical communication (FSO) technology, and any one in additional bluetooth (Bluetooth) equipment, WiMAX USB (WUSB) equipment, IEEE802.xx equipment, infrared communication (IrDA) equipment, Wi-Fi Mesh MANET equipment, the GPRS communication module made the train-installed wireless ad hoc network communication and the train status real-time monitoring system of backup.The present invention is mainly used on the railway setting up the network communication system of Radio Link between every adjacent two car bodies of the train with mutiple-unit engine vehicle automatically, can realize train traction, braking easily and alleviate control and the real-time monitoring of full train status etc. by this network system.
(2) background technology
Known railroad train motor vehicle braking system is by locomotive crew brake activation machine, the braking system of each rail vehicle is transmitted braking force one by one by the air pipe line that links to each other with locomotive, it is all inequality that rail vehicle produces the size of the moment, power of braking force, because the train pipe fills the wind regime of wind (alleviations) and leak informaton (braking) and the mouth that leaks informaton is positioned on the locomotive, so train pipe air damping (alleviation) ripple propagation law all is according to begin behind locomotive 1,2,3 from locomotive ... carry out the transmission of active force until the end vehicle.Like this, after the instruction that the driver controls full train braking and mitigation by the brake activation machine was sent, 1 just had very big time delay (reaching tens of seconds usually) to position, an end vehicle response behind the slave, greatly reduces the braking effect of train and has prolonged braking distance.This speed of service and capacity to train traffic safety and raising train is all totally unfavorable.Simultaneously, present goods train vehicle and passenger vehicle vehicle also have a great difference, the one, non-transformer power supply on the truck vehicle, the 2nd, generally all there are not special personnel on duty on the truck vehicle, can not monitor in real time for the vehicle-state in advancing, the 3rd, the goods vehicle marshalling is mobile big, the a certain rolling stock section (except the private car) of generally fixedly not attaching troops to a unit connects and hangs the ground infrared detection that the goods train vehicle-state of starting after the marshalling can only lean on segmentation along the line to arrange and wait operating vehicle technology states such as monitoring and forecast axle temperature, flange tread damage, derailing by phased manner.So, general present stage train can not implement the synchronous braking and the alleviation of train, can not real-time continuous, dynamically the state and the forecast of vehicle respectively organized into groups in monitoring.More the vehicle important information that jeopardizes train traffic safety can not be fed back in real time the unique locomotive crew there that can in time get measure.
For addressing the above problem, the railway system of China is on the relatively-stationary omnibus train of marshalling, and the gang socket that has begun to use cable and be fixed on the vehicle two ends couples together full train, carries out assigning of control commands such as simple train braking, alleviation.The unidirectional InfoLine of this simple train has very high reliability and Information Security, but its defective is 1, does not support the exchanges data of large information capacity; 2, when locomotive connects trailer row or train and organizes into groups again, all to connect or extract cable connector manually, take that the people takes a lot of work and time-consuming; 3, plug (pin) be through repeatedly also can causing loose contact to influence communication quality after plug or the oxidation, even complete failure; 4, under most of situation, organize into groups all extremely unfixed goods train, it is almost more impossible that the method that connects by cable is set up communication.
In addition, the patent No. is that 4682144 United States Patent (USP) discloses a kind of train communication link based on wired optical fiber in 1987, though optical fiber can provide the communication link of huge volume of transmitted data, but belong to wired mode after all, add work under bad environment through plug repeatedly regularly, a large amount of dust, smog, grease may pollute optical coupling apparatus connecting pin, influence the laser propagation effect of light.Simultaneously, extremely inconvenient again to the cleaning of plug-in pin.Will greatly influence its communication efficiency and effect like this, even complete failure.
The Andrew of Canadian. Martin is in the invention that proposed in 1996, a kind of train-installed network communication method of wireless electromagnetic microwave link is provided, though it is feasible that a pair of multiplexer/demultiplexer that utilizes radio electromagnetsm to be coupled is set up the method for Radio Link communication, also exists the some shortcomings part: 1, the frequency overwhelming majority of electromagnetic microwave communication will and will pay appreciable expense to the various places radio committee application occupancy permit every year.Exempt to apply for frequency range even frequency is chosen in, because the number of users of this frequency range is too many, and density is big, all shortcomings of radio communication: disturb equally and all can not avoid such as co-channel interference, monkey chatter, multipath; 2, electromagnetic communication is owing to be that omnidirectional propagates, the sub-district coverage mode, and will to set up effective connection and remove all kinds of obstacles be suitable difficulty to any two communication apparatus concerning the occasion of assembling with a large amount of rolling stocks.3, the running information fail safe also is to be difficult to guarantee, radio intercept and perturbation technique are to realize easily relatively.And this is for railways train operation department, and the fail safe of its message transmission is again extremely important.
Free space optical communication (FSO) technology is to be estimated a kind of solid infrared laser mechanics of communication high and that re-recognize and do one's utmost to develop by communication circle at the beginning of 21 century, it is considered to the two kind main information transmission modes of 21 century all-optical network communication backbone network in using, a kind of in optical-fibre communications and free space optical communication (FSO) technology.And from development trend, the two will be united from technical standard, constitutes the full optical switching network of a new generation that is considered to optimal network state-seamless link of 21 century together.Why free space optical communication (FSO) is " virtual fiber " by person, and its main cause is: wireless form, and the characteristic of optical fiber, the reliability height, fail safe is good, strong interference immunity, communication speed potentiality (bandwidth) are the same with optical fiber.In addition, the approximate linear propagation of infrared laser light beam is adopted in the communication of solid infrared laser, concentration of energy, and general power is all very little.Can be subjected to surrounding environment or equipment not to disturb other equipment hardly, especially consider to install two adjacent ON TRAINS compartments relatively near vehicle end, the emission with reception be closely level to looking (about 1m), because close proximity, even harsh weather-thick fog that optical communication is had the greatest impact, also very little to the influence of its communication effect.The influence of environment considers that mainly train stops and operate on the field, station or wilderness that dust and the grains of sand fly upward, and automatic blowing method is eliminated its influence and got final product in the time of can utilizing train manage-style compression set generally speaking.Also can formulate cleaned at regular intervals adhesive attachment thing system according to the train operation environmental change in addition guarantees.The train radio network communication system that utilizes the free space optical communication technology to make up has high reliability and fail safe, and supports the message transmission of big data quantity, and its bandwidth that can provide has reached 2.5G under the technology at present.Both can support data, voice, real-time propagation when video has compress mode in the present circumstance, be the all-optical network system that the main train network that makes up also can be supported to be upgraded to does not have electric end-end light exchange by FSO equipment simultaneously.That is to say that no matter up or descending the data of transmitting can be transmitted without the one-level level of locomotive or vehicle handset in the train radio net, can in free space and wired optical fiber, propagate by directly full light that the efficient and the reliability of transfer of data are higher.

Operation principle of the present invention is as follows:
First kind of situation, consider full train single bus traction, behind locomotive and marshalling coupling of vehicles during the communication MANET, in running order locomotive main frame is by " master-back " FSO equipment " before the 1#-" FSO equipment of 1 vehicle behind the beeper at first, 1 vehicle handset passback locomotive " is received " information behind the machine, 1 vehicle handset adds " 1 " to this machine " train marshalling list quantity register " and " grouped location register " simultaneously, " behind the 1#-" FSO equipment by 1 vehicle " before the 2#-" FSO equipment of 2 vehicles behind the beeper more then, 2 seat machines " are received " information by 1 vehicle of " before the 2#-" FSO equipment passback, 2 seat machines also add 1 with " train marshalling list quantity register " and " grouped location register ", this information is passed to 3 vehicle FSO equipment behind the machine after again ..., up to the end vehicle.End vehicle FSO equipment is owing to can not receive " receiving " information, just " train marshalling list quantity register " and " grouped location register " value with this car passes back to the locomotive main frame one by one as " train marshalling list is counted maximum " information, after main frame is received this " train marshalling list is counted maximum ", with " the train marshalling list number " in the input equipment be relatively in advance after the crew start, determine correctness, as correctly, illustrate that full train MANET finishes, and all are normal to have verified train radio ad-hoc network equipment.When data are verified when incorrect, following several situation is arranged:
1, return value n<actual marshalling value N: return value just in time illustrates it is n position vehicle " behind the n#-" FSO equipment fault or n+1 position vehicle communication link or equipment fault behind the machine, can notify the ground staff in time to check processing.
2, return value n>actual marshalling value N: illustrate behind the vehicle of end that with closely locating this train marshalling list outer locomotive or stoppage of vehicle in the station track, the processing method of locomotive main frame is: this train main frame is got rid of all locomotives or the vehicle above the N value from network.
Consider the Multiple driver communications within the same train situation for second kind, similar with first kind of situation, at first, as vehicle handset behind the main frame beeper of train locomotive and finish in the MANET process, when networking is connected to the cover locomotive, had both accused first network segment and finished.The cover locomotive is organized into groups vehicle simultaneously again and is done to call out and MANET work on the one hand to one's own job machine report " receiving " behind cover locomotive machine.And the like, also can conveniently finish MANET marshalling and network equipment failure detection for the Heavy Haul Freight Train of overlength Multiple driver communications within the same train.
As shown in Figure 4, after train passed through the marshalling of MANET network, to next one period of disintegrating before organizing into groups again, the network configuration of this train was formed and the control and the monitoring target of locomotive main frame are just decided.The data of transmitting in this network marshalling system are divided into two types by character: a kind of is downlink data, refer to by the locomotive main frame to the data of transmitting to all vehicles between assisting vehicle locomotive/end vehicle and assisting vehicle locomotive behind the machine, generally these data comprise networking commands data, train traction, braking, alleviation director data, timing network state self check order data etc.Another kind is a upstream data, generally refers to network and examines the result surely and reply various detection data of vehicle technology state behind data, the machine etc.
Under normal conditions, train marshalling list finish and networking success after, free space optical communication part (FSO) all be under the normal operating conditions, use light communication system transmission information, have only when optical link between two adjacent car bodies interrupts (can't hear when calling terminal light transceiver machine equipment and be judged to be optical link when responding and interrupt), the onboard wireless communication link backup incremental backup of two so adjacent car bodies starts automatically devotes oneself to work and transmits main communication link failure information to the locomotive main frame simultaneously.
Radio communication chain circuit backup (except that IrDA equipment) described in the present invention only just can start work in the operation way after the train network marshalling, free space optical communication part (FSO) equipment timer-controlled self-inspection in the train operation way, (hang such as paulin and to shut out the light or FSO equipment occurs damaging can not normal communication the time when finding between certain adjacent two car body that the contact of FSO equipment is unusual, the dsp processor of adjacent two car bodies is opened backup link equipment automatically and is devoted oneself to work, and to primary link failure between which car body and which car body behind the locomotive main frame transmitter, and standby radio communication chain circuit backs up the information of partly having devoted oneself to work; If, after a network is decided the overhaul period, the locomotive main frame is received when certain car body is beamed back contact information for " interruption " and train tube pressure value behind the machine, at this moment, should notify secondary driver to watch from a height or a distance backward immediately and whether analyze the train tube pressure value normal, to be determined to the end is that disconnected hook of car body or handset system failure take place, so that take corresponding measure.Because wireless telecommunications electromagnetic links alternate device is only enabled between two car bodies of FSO device fails, so concerning the wireless electromagnetic link backup equipment of enabling, only in the limited time period, devote oneself to work, so the probability of its suffered interference will be very low with the minute quantity alternate device.
When the infrared communication described in the present invention (IrDA) equipment is done backup, main consider is: IrDA equipment can connect in train marshalling list to be hung when finishing, and has the FSO of replacement equipment and realizes train MANET function, and ad hoc network method is the same with FSO equipment.But the shortcoming of IrDA equipment is, 1, under outdoor environment, be subjected to the interference of sunlight easily, so be not suitable for requiring stable for a long time, the communication occasion reliably of system; 2, be that the employed infraluminescence pipe of IrDA equipment is a kind of short-life device, in case after device works long hours heating, be easy to damage.
