- At present, trains usually operate in a marshalling mode, and a peer-to-peer communication mode or a train-to-ground-to-train communication mode is usually used as a communication mode.
- The peer-to-peer communication mode is as follows:
a train A, after receiving a command from a ground control center, needs to perform peer-to-peer communication with a train B, then the train A establishes communication connection with the train B via a peer-to-peer communication, the train A provides speed and position coordinates information to the train B, and the train B generates a respective train control curve of the train B by combining the respective position and speed information to control the train operation, based on the received information of the train A. By analogy, each of the train C and the train D will generate a respective train control curve to control the respective train operation. - Such method depends upon the ground center equipment, each train must receive a control common for which train to communication with before establishing communication, and cannot form a formation by itself. The train cannot directly obtain how many trains are in the group and what train it is. Each train needs to calculate a respective movement authority in real time.

- The embodiment of the present invention discloses a train group control method based on an ad-hoc network. As shown in
FIG. 1 , the method includes: searching for, by ad-hoc network equipment on a train, communication equipment of another train within a preset distance; determining whether the train is on the same track as another train; if the train is on the same track as another train, determining whether a networking condition is satisfied; if the networking condition is satisfied, establishing an ad-hoc network by the trains satisfying the networking condition; and controlling, by the train set in the ad-hoc network, the train operation in the ad-hoc network by means of the ad-hoc network. The networking condition includes: ad-hoc network equipment is provided in a target train; the target train is allowed to establish the ad-hoc network; and the target train is in stable communication with a local train. The train receives track condition information, the track condition information includes: route information, track information, temporary speed restriction information, and movement authority. - The current train communication ways are train-to-ground communication and train-to-train communication. The train-to-ground communication refers to that the train communicates with ground equipment. The train-to-train communication is also divided into train-to-ground-to-train communication and train-to-train communication. The train-to-ground-to-train communication refers to that a plurality of trains perform communication by means of the ground equipment, or perform communication by means of information of the ground equipment. The train obtains the information of another train by means of the ground equipment, such as a data interaction center, and then communicates with another train according to the obtained information, which belongs to the train-to-ground-to-train communication. The train-to-train communication refers to that the communication connection is established between trains, and the communication and the disconnection of communication are completely completed by train equipment without relying on the ground equipment. The communication involved in the present invention is the train-to-train communication; the establishment of the ad-hoc network, the use of the ad-hoc network communication and the disconnection of communication are all completed by on-board equipment without relying on the ground equipment. The present invention is mainly used in the field of heavy wagons, and can also be used in the field of another train. All trains in the ad-hoc network are controlled by the ad-hoc network, all trains in the ad-hoc network are called group trains, and are also called a train set. The group trains refer to a train group consisting of two or more real trains, the ground equipment controls control the train group by one train, and various trains in the train group are subjected to coordinated control.
- Specifically, the train receives the track condition information, the track condition information includes: route information, track information, temporary speed restriction information, and movement authority.
- Illustratively, the train operation requires a series of authorities and relevant data, and can be performed only after these authorities and data are obtained. Such data include: the route information, the temporary speed restriction information, and the track information. The authority includes the movement authority. These data may be transmitted to the train using, but not limited to, the following ways: the train receives the data by using on-board ATP (automatic train protection) equipment; a station data server (SDS), which has the function of storing basic data of the station and section track, may complete real-time framing and verification of a wireless message according to the track information stored by itself and information provided by equipment such as CBI (computer-based interlocking) and TSRS (temporary speed restriction server). The station data server sends the information to all trains in the wireless coverage area by means of train-to-ground communication, and may also send the information to a specified train as required. The station data server receives interlocking route information, temporary speed restriction information of the temporary speed restriction server and the track information, generates messages such as the route information, the track information and temporary speed restriction, and provides, within the scope of the station, the in-station messages and section message to the on-board ATP. A track circuit (TC) sends the movement authority information to the on-board ATP. The train can receive the track condition information by means of such way.
- Specifically, the ad-hoc network equipment on the train searches for communication equipment of another train within a preset distance to determine whether the train is on the same track as another train.
- Illustratively, the ad-hoc network equipment on the train searches for communication equipment of another train within the preset distance. When a front train and a rear train operate according to normal tracking, the communication range of the ad-hoc network equipment on the train is large enough, so that the front train and the rear train can normally communicate with each other. The train-to-train communication of the ad-hoc network equipment is performed by means of two radios that are both original train equipment, without adding hardware equipment. One of the radios is configured for long-distance communication, and the other of the radios is configured for short and medium-distance communication. The switching of the two radio stations is completed by the ad-hoc network equipment. After communication is established between two or more ad-hoc network equipment and the networking condition is satisfied, a local wireless broadband communication private network may be established within a short time in an ad-hoc manner. All ad-hoc network equipment in the wireless broadband communication private network communicates with one another by using the wireless broadband communication private network. After the wireless broadband communication private network has been established, new ad-hoc network equipment is communicatively connected to any ad-hoc network equipment in the wireless broadband communication private network, and when networking condition is satisfied, the new ad-hoc network equipment will automatically join the wireless broadband communication private network to form a new wireless broadband communication private network. The communication between the new ad-hoc network and all ad-hoc network equipment under the jurisdiction of the original wireless broadband communication private network is achieved by means of the new wireless broadband communication private network. The ad-hoc network equipment on the train searches for communication equipment of another train within the preset distance, the preset distance, such as the shortest distance between a front train and a rear train in normal tracking operation, the longest distance of long-distance communication of the radio station, may be appointed in advance.
- The ad-hoc network equipment is arranged at a head of the train. When ad-hoc network equipment on the train sends a wireless signal to the periphery, and communication equipment of end of train (EOT) of this train, communication equipment of head of train (HOT) of another train within the preset distance, communication equipment of EOT of another train and the ad-hoc network equipment of another train can all receive the signal. The ad-hoc network equipment has a function of identifying communication equipment of HOT and communication equipment of EOT of a neighboring-line train, thereby preventing the head of the train or the end of the train of neighboring line train from being included in the wireless communication network. The identification may be performed using, but not limited to, the following ways: the ad-hoc network equipment sends networking request information to the periphery and informs the track where it is located; the train on the same track, after receiving the networking request information, replies its corresponding information, and the train on different track does not reply or replies information including the respective track information. The ad-hoc network equipment may determine which trains are on the same track as itself according to the received information.
- Specifically, whether the networking condition is satisfied is determined, if the networking condition is satisfied, the trains satisfying the networking condition establish the ad-hoc network, and the train set in the ad-hoc network controls the train operation in the ad-hoc network by means of the ad-hoc network. The networking condition includes: ad-hoc network equipment is provided in a target train; the target train is allowed to establish the ad-hoc network; and the target train is in stable communication with a local train.
- Illustratively, the establishment of the ad-hoc network between the trains needs to satisfy the networking condition, the networking condition includes: ad-hoc network equipment is provided in the target train, the target train is allowed to establish the ad-hoc network; and the target train is in stable communication with a local train. The train can join the ad-hoc network only when being provided with the ad-hoc network equipment. Any train provided with the ad-hoc network equipment has a function of permitting or prohibiting the itself to establish or join the ad-hoc network. When a certain train is set to permit itself to establish or join the ad-hoc network by itself, after another train sends an ad-hoc network establishing request or an ad-hoc network joining request to this train, this train establishes an ad-hoc network or joins the ad-hoc network when all networking conditions are satisfied. The train establishing the ad-hoc network needs to maintain stable communication. The communication equipment of EOT of the train plays a communication relay role. When the train is in a tunnel or a cave, the head of the train may communicate with another train via the communication equipment of EOT, and another train may communicate with the head of the train via the communication equipment of EOT of this train. During the establishment of the ad-hoc network, two sets of ad-hoc network equipment may communicate with each other via the communication equipment of EOT, and the stable communication is also considered to be stable communication between the target train and the local train. During the establishment of the ad-hoc network, there may be a plurality of trains in the ad-hoc network, and the ad-hoc network equipment also plays a role of communication relay. When any train in the ad-hoc network communicates with the target train, regardless of direct communication or communication by means of the relay of other one or a plurality of trains in the ad-hoc network, the communication between the target train and the current train is considered to be stable as long as the communication is stable.
- When the networking condition is satisfied, the ad-hoc network equipment on the train determines whether there is an ad-hoc network at present. If no ad-hoc network exists, all trains satisfying the networking condition are configured to establish the ad-hoc network with the original train. If the ad-hoc network already exists, all the trains satisfying the networking conditions join the original ad-hoc network to form a new ad-hoc network.
- After the ad-hoc network is established, the train sets in the ad-hoc network control the train operation in the ad-hoc network by means of the ad-hoc network.
- Specifically, controlling, by a train set in the ad-hoc network, the train operation in the ad-hoc network by means of the ad-hoc network includes: a first train control and a following train control. The first train control is used in the ad-hoc network to enable the first train to control the operation of another train in the ad-hoc network; the following train control is used in the ad-hoc network to enable the following train to control itself to operate following a front train.
- Illustratively, the train set in the ad-hoc network controls the operation of trains in the ad-hoc network by means of the ad-hoc network in two ways: one is the first train control, that is, in the ad-hoc network, the first train controls the operation of another train in the ad-hoc network; one is the following train control, that is, in the ad-hoc network, the following train controls itself to operate following the front train. An operator may select the specific control way according to actual situations.
