Description

  The present invention relates to a train security information device including an automatic train control device for each of a leading vehicle and a trailing vehicle.

  One automatic train control system (hereinafter abbreviated as ATC) is installed in each of the front and rear cabs, and power is supplied to only one ATC installed in the top car during train operation. In general, power is not supplied to the ATC of the car, and information is not directly shared between the ATCs of the leading car and the trailing car (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

3A to 3C are explanatory diagrams showing this relationship. That is, when the train 100 enters in the direction of the arrow A, as shown in FIG. 3A, power is supplied only to the ATC 21 mounted on the leading car 11, and power is supplied to the ATC 29 mounted on the tail car 19. Is not supplied, only the ATC 21 of the leading car 11 calculates and stores the security information. When replacing the cab when the train 100 turns back at the terminal station, the driver removes the driving handle that has been worn by the driver (the ATC power supply is turned off). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, since both the ATC 21 and the ATC 29 are turned off, the security information of the ATC 21 is reset. After the end exchange, that is, when the driver attaches the steering wheel to the cab of the tail wheel 19, the tail wheel 19 becomes the leading car 19 traveling in the direction of arrow B, and as shown in FIG. Power is turned on.

  In the above-described conventional security information device, the ATC power is turned off when the cab end is exchanged at the terminal station, etc., so the security information is reset, and the information valid for the ATC of the vehicle that becomes the leading car by the end exchange. Even if there was, I could not use it.

  For example, if the ATC had the function of outputting the correct direction of the platform, the ATC could realize the door release output in the correct direction when entering the line by calculating the track circuit information from the ground and the current position. To do. However, the current position is reset when control is transferred to the ATC of the rear car due to end replacement, which causes a problem that output in the door opening direction cannot be performed.

  In general, the ground signal of ATC is often not transmitted on the vehicle until just before departure. Therefore, when replacing the end, the track circuit information cannot be obtained for a while even if the power is turned on at the rear wheel. There was also a problem that the opening direction could not be determined.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a train that can transmit effective security information to the ATC installed in the leading vehicle even when the power of the ATC is cut off. It is to provide a security information device.

  According to the train security information device of the present invention, even if the ATC power is cut off at the time of end replacement or in the situation of restarting in the same direction as when the line was entered without end replacement, Effective security information can be transmitted to the ATC installed.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. FIGS. 1A to 1C are diagrams for explaining a schematic configuration and operation of a first embodiment of a train security information device according to the present invention, and FIG. The same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. FIG. 1 (a) shows a leading car 11 and a trailing car 19 when a vehicle in the middle of the train 100 is omitted and the vehicle enters the direction indicated by the arrow A. FIG. This embodiment is applied to the case where all the vehicles of the train 100 are equipped with a security information auxiliary device (On-Board Computer, hereinafter abbreviated as OBC) 41 to 49 as the second device. The OBCs 41 to 49 are connected via a LAN 50 and are always operated to calculate and store auxiliary security information and share stored data.

  Then, when one of the ATCs as the first device of the present invention, for example, the ATC 31 mounted in the leading car 11 is in operation, the data stored here is transferred to the OBC 41 and stored, and either one of them is stored. ATC, for example, the data stored in the OBC 49 when the power of the ATC 39 mounted on the rear wheel 19 is turned on, is stored in the ATC 39, and is stored in the data transfer and storage means (an arrow is added in the figure and the details are omitted) The configuration differs from that of the conventional apparatus. Thereby, the security information from the ATC 31 can be held. Further, the safety information (for example, the brake state of the vehicle body) calculated by the OBC 41 while the ATC 31 is in the power-off state can be transmitted as valid security information to the ATC 39 after the end exchange. Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described more specifically.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1A, it is assumed that the ATC 31 that is in operation at the time of incoming line has executed a door release output in the correct direction based on the track circuit information from the track and the current position calculation. Information at this time, for example, the permitted direction (close) for the left door and the disallowed direction (open) for the right door. Is transmitted to the OBC 41.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), when the driver pulls out the driving handle that has been mounted until the end replacement, the ATC 31 is turned off. The OBCs 41 to 49 are always in a power-on state, and at this time, the OBCs 41 to 49 continue to calculate the kilometer and record, for example, the brake state of the vehicle body. Further, since the OBCs 41 to 49 are connected via the LAN 50 and share the stored data, the security data transferred from the ATC 31 to the OBC 41 is also stored in the OBC 49.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), when the vehicle is traveling in the direction of arrow B after end replacement, the ATC 39 is turned on when the driving handle is attached to the leading car 19. At this time, the information at the time of the previous entry stored in the OBC 49 and the additional information of the OBCs 41 to 49 are transferred from the OBC 49 to the ATC 39. Therefore, the ATC 39 is on the condition that the vehicle is braked and the stopping kilometer is not moving, that is, the same information as when entering the line, that is, the permitted direction (close) with respect to the left door, and the right door Outputs information indicating that the direction is not permitted (open).

  Thus, according to the first embodiment, when the OBCs 41 to 49 provided in each vehicle are always operated to calculate and store auxiliary security information, and are connected via the LAN 50 to share stored data. Even if the ATC power supply is shut off during end exchange by providing data transfer and storage means for mutual data transfer and storage between ATC31 and OBC41, and between ATC39 and OBC49, the head after end exchange Effective security information can be transmitted to the ATC mounted on the vehicle.

  FIGS. 2A to 2C are diagrams for explaining the schematic configuration and operation of the second embodiment of the train security information device according to the present invention, and show the first embodiment in the figure. The same elements as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 2A shows only the leading car 11 when the train 100 enters in the direction of arrow A, and FIG. 2B shows the ATC 31 when the driver stops the platform and the driver removes the driving handle. Indicates that the vehicle is in a power-off state, and FIG. 3C shows a case where the vehicle travels again in the direction of arrow A, which is the same as the incoming line direction. In this case, it is not necessary to share security information between the OBCs of the leading vehicle and the trailing vehicle, and the data transfer and storage means for mutually transferring and storing data between the ATC 31 and the OBC 41 in the leading vehicle 11 is provided. By providing, even if the power of the ATC 31 is cut off, effective security information can be transmitted to the ATC 31.

  By the way, in each embodiment mentioned above, ATC transfers and memorize | stores the security information at the time of a connection in OBC which is not made into a power-off state. At this time, when the OBC is positioned as not a security device, that is, when the safety level of the OBC is not as important as the ATC, the safety level of information transmission is lowered by passing through the OBC. In order to prevent this, when the ATC adds a CRC code to perform the calculation, the OBC uses a highly secure model that can perform error correction according to the information with the CRC code added. There is a need to. In other words, it is indispensable to have a security function equivalent to that of ATC in the transmission and storage of information.

  On the other hand, as described in the second embodiment, if the ATC power is cut off in a situation where the line is restarted in the same direction as when the line was entered without end exchange, data sharing may be performed. The present invention can be applied to non-OBCs.
