Description

A train entering guide system and a train entering guide control method using a same}

The present invention relates to a train entry guide system and a method for controlling a train entry guide using the same, and more specifically, when a train enters a predetermined driving track, the visibility of the driving direction of the engine is increased through LED light on the track to derail the train. It relates to a train entry guide system and a train entry guide control method using the train entry guide system to prevent a safety accident in advance.

A branch point in a railroad track refers to a line switching unit that connects a branch line to a stock rail, and connects a branch line to the base line and opens the direction of the train in the direction of the main line or the branch line (tongue rail) ) Is installed at the junction of railroad tracks. Such a tongue rail is assembled to a track changer, and the track changer drives the tongue rail according to a control signal to change the combined state of the track to a positive or negative state to change the direction of travel of the train. The track changer 1 is installed on one side of the track as shown in FIG. 1, and it is possible to change the course of the train while connecting and leaving the tread rail installed on the basic track with respect to the basic track. In the steady state, the empty rail is operated so that the railroad cars on the main line continue to run the main line through the junction without changing the line, and the counter state allows the railroad cars on the main line to change direction from the branch point to the branch line. The tow rail is operated, and the handling of the track changer 1 that determines the course of the train is handled by the controller of the control room (or command room) or the operator of the field history.

The above-mentioned railway line junction is provided on a line that is finished after the vehicle is operated and is received as a railway vehicle base, and the control room is operated while changing the track of the train traveling along the basic line through the signal control of the standing signal installed at one side of the railway junction. Put the train in the designated garage. As shown in FIG. 1, when a train (not shown) enters from the direction A, the engineer sees the progress signal of the standing signal and drives the train. When the train proceeds from A to C (or B or D), the driving path is driven by the signal. When is judged and the train passes the insulation, the beeper changes to a stop signal to stop the train once.

On the other hand, in spite of the signal display of the beacon, if the engineer passed the junction insulation region in a state in which the signal of the beacon was misjudged at any discretion, or when the control station made a mistake in the control of train entry due to inadequate handling or misinformation Can go in the wrong direction, not on a fixed track. In particular, in the case of dark at night or around the track, it is difficult for the engineer to visually check the correct driving track, so the train may enter the wrong path, and this may cause a safety accident such as train derailment.
