  • Concurrently supplying power to the first main control unit and the second main control unit as described above specifically is: separate power supply modules may be used to concurrently supply power to the first main control unit and the second main control unit, or the same power supply module may be used to synchronously supply power to the first main control unit and the second main control unit.
  • Maintaining the input signals of the first main control unit and the second main control unit to be consistent as described above may be implemented specifically by adopting the following two schemes.
  • Scheme 1, as shown in FIG. 3:
    • S1: the first main control unit receives a current first input signal, and the second main control unit receives a current second input signal;
    • S2: the first main control unit transmits the first input signal to the second main control unit;
    • S3: the second main control unit compares signal content of the first input signal and signal content of the second input signal; if signal contents thereof are consistent, the first main control unit is notified to use the currently collected first input signal as input and the second main control unit is notified to use the currently collected second input signal as input; if signal contents thereof are inconsistent, the first main control unit is notified to discard the first input signal and the second main control unit is notified to discard the second input signal, the first main control unit and the second main control unit maintain previous consistent signals as input.
  • It should be noted that the "signal contents being consistent" here refers to commands being consistent. Taking signal activation as an example, the first main control unit and the second main control unit simultaneously receive an activation signal transmitted by the train interface or simultaneously receive a non-activation signal transmitted by the train interface, it means that the signal contents are consistent.
  • As a preferred way, in Scheme 1, in the case where signal contents of the first input signal and the second input signal are inconsistent, if signal contents of the first input signal and the second input signal are inconsistent for too long, exceeding a set time length, the second main control unit determines that the first main control unit and the second main control unit are not synchronized in operation, the second main control unit is controlled to enter a fault mode, the first main control unit continues to operate.
  • Scheme 2, as shown in FIG. 4:
    the first main control unit receives the current input signal, and then transmits the input signal to the second main control unit; the second main control unit receives the input signal transmitted by the first main control unit, and uses the received input signal as its own input signal.
  • Regarding the output signal transmitted to the train interface, when the second main control unit makes hot backup with respect to the first main control unit and power is supplied to the first main control unit and the second main control unit concurrently, in order to ensure driving safety, different situations need to be addressed so as to determine the transmission measures to be taken to transmit the signal.
  • The output signal includes a safety command, the safety command includes a speed control command, the speed control command includes, but not limited to, a braking command, the braking command includes, but not limited to, an emergency braking command and a full service breaking command.
