Description

The automated carriage turnover accounting complex (KAU-V) is intended for use at railway facilities, at enterprises, and structural units using railway communication, within the framework of the technological process of which reliable information is needed about the trains arriving and departing.

The use of automated systems with the possibility of recognizing wagon numbers is necessary for solving urgent problems for railway transport enterprises, since rolling stock numbers contain the most important information for domestic and interstate transportation processes. Wagon numbers allow monitoring the progress of goods, searching for “lost” transport units and represent a common means of communication between enterprises.

A known system for automatically controlling the position of moving objects, comprising at least one code plate made with retroreflective code strokes, and an information reading unit made in the form of a directional radiation source sequentially located on the optical axis, a scanning unit and a beam splitter, as well as a photodetector optically paired with a beam splitter and connected to the processing unit, characterized in that it is equipped with an additional photodetector located in the plane of the scan code bars on each code plate are arranged in columns and are made in width corresponding to zero or a unit of binary code, and the processing unit is made in the form of series-connected code bar value determination unit, the first input of which is connected to the output of the photodetector, digit code recognition unit, and correction block , register, random access memory and interface unit, as well as a control unit, the corresponding outputs of which are connected to the control inputs of the information reading unit, re Istra, random access memory and interface unit, and a signal driver of the beginning and end of reading, the input of which is connected to the second output of the block for determining values of code strokes, and the output to the corresponding input of the control unit, while the output of the additional photodetector is connected to the second inputs of the determination block stroke detection code values of numbers of codes and correction block unit (patent №2007693, publication date 15.02.1994, IPC ⁵ G01C 22/00, B61L 25/00, "automatic position control system mobility x objects ").

The disadvantages of the known system include the need to equip the entire wagon fleet with additional equipment for identifying wagons, namely, code plates. Such a unification of wagon designations is a significant practical problem when the wagon fleet of passing controlled wagons belongs to various owners, both public and private, and part of the wagons not equipped with such code plates remains unidentified.

There is also a system of automatic identification for double-track sections of railways, consisting of many code on-board sensors and at least one reading point, which contains antennas connected to the outputs of the antenna switch, the control input of which is connected to the first output of the control unit, while the signal input the antenna switch is connected to the bi-directional output of the circulator, the output of which is connected to the first input of the receiver, the second input and output of which are connected respectively to the second the output and the first input of the control unit, the third output and the second input of which are connected respectively to the first input and the first output of the transmitter, the second output of which is connected to the input of the circulator, and the bi-directional output of the control unit is connected to the first bi-directional output of the modem, the second bi-directional output of which is connected to the network data transmission, characterized in that the system contains four antennas located two on the outer sides of each path of a two-track road section connected to the first, second, third and the fourth outputs of the antenna switch, and four axis counters, one in front of each antenna on the path closest to it, and connected by their outputs to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth inputs of the control unit, to the seventh input and fourth outputs of which the first output is connected and the first input of the signal processing unit, the second input of which is connected to the second output of the receiver, and the second output is connected to the modem input [patent for invention RU 2314955, publication date 01/20/2008, IPC B61L 25/02, “Automatic identification system for a double-track railway sections "),

The use of the known system is impossible without the use of identification elements installed on the sides of the cars, in particular, the presence of many code on-board sensors. Due to the fact that part of the cars may not be equipped with such code sensors, either they have become unusable or have been removed from the side of the cars, the process of accounting for carriage is disrupted, and the efficiency of the process of recording freight transportation is sharply reduced.

In addition, this automatic identification system requires the length of its placement at the maximum possible length of the train, the distance between the antennas installed on one side of the track should be greater than the maximum allowable length of the train passing through this section of the track.

The problem to which the claimed technical solution is directed is to increase the efficiency of the automated carriage accounting complex (KAU-V) by ensuring the versatility of its use, high reliability of recognition of inventory numbers of cars, while ensuring high speeds of trains passing through reading points of car numbers, as well as Ensuring the integration of the complex with the enterprise ACS

The problem is solved due to the fact that the complex of automated carriage accounting (KAU-V) at the enterprise contains a system for reading car numbers, a system for processing and transmitting read data; car number recognition system; a system for centralized data collection, transmission and long-term storage; the administrator’s automated workstation [AWP], wherein the wagon number reading system contains at least one reading point made in the form of two supports mounted on both sides of the monitored railway track onto which an optical recording unit equipped with television cameras is mounted, and a lighting unit formed by LED lights, as well as containing a sensor positioning subsystem of a car, consisting of sensors placed on poles and magnetic sensors placed on one rail on different sides of the axis connecting the opposing cameras; a system for processing and transmitting read data is connected to a car number reading system, equipped with a local server and contains a controller, a local data transmission module and a remote data transmission module located in the container; the wagon number recognition system is associated with a system for processing and transmitting read data and at each of the reading points it contains a video server, software modules for wagon counting, video capture, wagon number recognition, an online video archive and a train archive; The centralized data collection, transmission and long-term storage system is a central post containing a long-term data storage, consisting of storage modules, a database management software module and a central control server connected to Ethernet reading and recognition systems and equipped with a software module for integration with ACS enterprises;

The administrator’s automated workstation (AWP) contains a software module for monitoring the status of the complex [KAU-V) and a software module for controlling the reading system.

The automated carriage accounting system (KAU-V) provides the receipt, processing and storage of the image of moving units in trains following in any direction, and automatically reads and recognizes the inventory numbers of cars with the subsequent transfer of the processed data to the infrastructure network of the corresponding unit of the enterprise. The work of KAU-V, based on the optical reading of inventory numbers printed on the surface of wagons, tanks, platforms, provides the versatility of the complex for the mobile units of all participants in the transportation process on railways both within the country and for interstate transport, while identifying mobile There is no need for a laborious and complicated process of equipping a rolling stock with additional equipment for identifying wagons, for example, radio frequency tags, which can be damaged or intentionally dismantled.

At the same time, the exclusion from the process of reading wagon numbers of the use of manual billing of numbers by the operator can significantly increase the efficiency of the enterprise’s personnel and reduce the number of employees involved in the processing of trains.

The use of an optical reading system that interacts with the car number recognition system provides a significant increase in the speed of reception and departure of trains, the possibility of parallel reception and departure of trains by simultaneously reading from several paths, and also provides reading numbers of cars in a static position, for example, when their commercial inspection, weighing, loading - unloading.

The system for processing and transmitting read data ensures uninterrupted round-the-clock automation of the process of collecting and recording data on mobile units under any meteorological conditions, except extreme, sharply worsening visibility, and also provides simultaneous processing and transmission of information from several paths.

Centralized collection and storage of information is carried out using a reliable system for the collection, transmission and long-term storage of data, designed to ensure archiving of information about all trains that passed through reading points for long periods.

The most important role in improving the efficiency of the KAU-V is played by the integration of the central control server with the enterprise’s ACS, which monitors the progress of goods, searches for lost transport units, and also provides general communication between the central post and the infrastructure operators of the enterprise, government bodies.

The developed integration capabilities allow the effective use of KAU-V, regardless of which control system is installed at the enterprise, KAU-V is a scalable complex and has the ability to use it at own enterprises of any configuration, including at the input and output sections of the tracks of the sorting railway stations . The integration capabilities of the complex make it possible to control the passage of mobile units — wagons and locomotives — across the borders of access roads of commercial enterprises or across the borders of zones of responsibility of various railway enterprises, for example, stations and locomotive depots.

The presence in KAU-V of the workstation of the administrator provides remote monitoring, control and tuning of all systems of the complex, during its installation and during operation.

The presence of distinctive features in the claimed technical solution allows us to conclude that it meets the condition of patentability “novelty”.

The patentability condition "industrial applicability" is confirmed by the example of a specific implementation.

The automated carriage accounting complex (KAU-V) is located in the inspection area of the rolling stock of a railway station or other enterprise using railway transport. The installation site of the complex is determined by the technological conditions of the railway station and the size of the approximation of buildings. KAU-V can be used to work with cars, tanks or open platforms.

The complex automated carriage accounting (KAU-B) at the enterprise contains a system 1 (Fig. 1) for reading the numbers of cars 2, a system 3 for processing and transmitting read data; system 4 recognition of numbers of cars 2; system 5 of centralized data collection, transmission and long-term storage; automated workstation 6 (AWP) of the administrator, automated control system 7 (ACS) of the enterprise.

The system 1 for reading the numbers of cars 2 contains at least one reading point 8 made in the form of two supports 9 (Figs. 2, 3) installed on both sides of the controlled railway track 10 onto which an optical recording unit 11 is mounted, equipped with cameras 12, and a lighting unit 13 formed by LED lights 14.

In this case, the inventory numbers marked on the wagons must comply with the requirements for signs and inscriptions on the wagons of the freight fleet of the railways. The degree of pollution, types of pollution of the wagon number do not lead to unreadable numbers.

The speed of passage of the train through the reading point 8 can be up to 200 km per hour for passenger trains, the reading of the numbers of freight cars or tanks is carried out at a speed of up to 60 km / h. In addition, KAU-V allows reading the numbers of cars in their static position, necessary, for example, when weighing cars, when loading or unloading them.

In the presented embodiment, the optical recording unit 11 consists of four television cameras 12 located in thermocases and mounted in pairs on supports 9 on both sides of the controlled composition.

The lighting unit 13 consists in this case of six LED lamps 14 located on the supports 9.

In addition, the system 1 for reading the numbers of cars 2 contains a sensor subsystem 15 for positioning the car 2, consisting of sensors 16 located on the supports, and magnetic sensors 17 located on one rail 18 on different sides from axis AA (Fig. 4), connecting the opposite cameras 12. Sensors 16 (figure 2), placed on the supports 9, can be made in the form of one or two-position optical sensors placed on opposite supports 9 on either side of the controlled path 10, or, for example, can be performed in the form of radar sensors .

The on-off optical sensor 16 (Fig. 5) consists of a radiator and a receiver located on opposite supports 9 at the level of the coupling axis of the cars 2 trains passing along the railway line 10.

The system 3 for processing and transmitting read data (FIG. 1) is connected to the system 1 for reading the numbers of cars 2, is equipped with a local server 19 and contains a controller 21, a local data transmission module 22, a remote transmission module 23, located in the container 20 (FIG. 8) data, as well as the patch panel 24, and in this embodiment is equipped with a control console 25.

The system 4 (figure 1) for recognizing the numbers of cars 2 is connected to a system 3 for processing and transmitting read data and at each of the points 8 for reading contains a video server 26, a software module 27 for counting cars, a software module 28 for video capture, a software module 29 for recognizing the numbers of cars 2, operational archive of 30 video data and archive of 31 compositions. The wagon number recognition software module 29 also contains an auxiliary re-recognition program for determining numbers that are not recognized normally.

The local server 19 has a processor, the power of which provides simultaneous current recognition, in real time, and the solution of problems associated with the analysis of archive data.

The system 5 for the centralized collection, transmission and long-term storage of data (Fig. 1) is a central post (Fig. 9) containing a long-term data storage 32, consisting of storage modules 33, a database maintenance program module 34, included in the central control server 35 associated with the recognition system 4 through a local Ethernet network 36 (Fig.1) and equipped with a software module 37 for integration with the ACS 7 of the enterprise.

The automated workstation 6 (AWP) (Fig. 1) of the administrator comprises a software module 38 for monitoring the status of the complex (KAU-V) and a software module 39 for controlling the reading system 1.

The life support system of the local server 19 and the equipment for transmitting read data located in the thermostabilized container 20 (Fig. 8) consists of a fan, convector, electrical panel, switchboard, voltage regulator, power filter and fire extinguishing system (not shown in Fig.).

KAU-V may include one or more reading points 8, depending on the task set at the enterprise. On the support 9, installed in the area between the railway tracks 10, it is possible to fix the reading equipment designed to control the tracks located on both sides of the support 9, which is then called bilateral. When placing KAU-V on a multi-track section of the track, in order to rationally use the equipment, two-way supports are installed and one container serving several supports can be installed (Fig.6, 7).

The optical registration unit 11 of the reading point 8 consists in this case of four cameras 12, designed for visual control of the passing trains and the issuance of video signals to the monitor (figure 10).

Each of the cameras 12 is installed in a thermal casing with a built-in heater that protects the cameras 12 from adverse environmental influences, the operating temperature range is selected depending on the climatic zone into which KAU-V is installed.

In order for the complex to fulfill one of its main functional purposes - automatic number recognition - the optical registration units 11 are set and configured in such a way that a minimum level of optical distortion is achieved, a sufficient view of the side of the car 2 is provided with the necessary overlap of the frames of the lower and upper cameras 12, it is ensured sufficient frame width, timely recording of video images and their correct processing is ensured.

In this regard, both the hardware setting of the cameras 12 and the software settings for each camera 12 are carried out. Installation and hardware setting of the cameras 12 are carried out in the following directions: placement of the cameras 12 relative to the level of the rail head 18 and their position in the horizontal plane, setting focal length and focusing of cameras 12, adjusting the position of cameras 12 in the vertical plane, adjusting the horizontal frame.

The input data received from the cameras 12 is organized in the form of a stream of graphic data that subsequently enters the car number recognition system 4. When the conditions of insufficient visibility are met, the lighting unit 13, which is part of the train, is intended to illuminate the train passing through the reading point 8 systems 1 reading the number of wagons KAU-V.

The automatic inclusion of the lighting unit 13 with a decrease in natural illumination below the threshold level is carried out by a relay for automatically switching on the illumination, interacting with a light sensor (not shown in the figures), which generates a signal corresponding to the level of illumination. To set the threshold level, the relay is adjusted.

To position the car 2 during the movement of the train through the control zone of the reading point 8, magnetic sensors 17 mounted on the rail 18 are used. The signals from the magnetic sensors 17 are determined and recorded the time of passage of each car 2 through the reading point 8, as well as the direction of movement and speed of the composition. To fix the fact of the composition at the reading point 8, an optical sensor 16 is used, which in this case consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The emitter and the receiver are mounted on opposing supports 9 at the level of the coupling axis (Fig. 5) of the passing cars 2 (Fig. 2).

When mounting the sensor 16, the exact orientation of the emitter to the receiver (their alignment) is important, in which the maximum amount of luminous flux from the emitter should go directly to the receiver. If the alignment is set, then the LED on the back of the receiver lights up. If the composition is located at reading point 8, the light beam coming from the emitter to the receiver is always blocked by car 2 and the LED on the back of the receiver goes out, which makes it possible to fix the fact that car 2 is in the zone of operation of the reading point.

One controller 21 allows you to connect up to four sensors 17 magnetic and up to four sets of optical sensors 16. KAU-V has two operating modes: “standby” - in the absence of moving units [cars, tanks, platforms) at the reading point 8, and “work” - when moving units enter the reading point.

When the train passes along the railway line 10 through the reading point 8, a signal is sent to the controller 21 to start operation. The controller 21 removes the signals from the sensors of the positioning subsystem 15, transmits it to the local data transmission module 22, to the local server 19. The video signals from the optical recording unit 11 are transmitted through the patch panel 24 and the local data transmission module 22. Using the control console 25, control the actions of the equipment and access to the software of the reading point 8. The module 23 of the remote data transfer transmits the output data to the central post, to the central control server 35.

If necessary, the conversion of analog signals from the reading system 1 into a digital video stream, a video signal processing unit (not shown in the figures) functions.

System 4 recognition of the numbers of cars 2 processes, stores information received from a controlled railway track 10, and also manages the received data.

The software of KAU-V, in addition to the automatic mode, in which the software of the complex, after it is put into operation, continuously collects and processes data, and when generating the results, automatically sends the data to the ACS 7 of the enterprise, it may additionally have manual mode, with the participation of the operator.

Under the control of the video server 26, a software module 29 for recognizing the numbers of cars 2, a software module 27 for counting the cars, and data stores are filled.

The software module 27 counting cars is designed to process information coming from the sensor subsystem 15 through the controller 21. As a result, the fact of travel and the start and end times of each car through the reading point 8 are determined.

The carriage account module 27 controls the recording of the video capture software module 28 and the export of the received video information to the online archive

30 video data. The signal to start operation of the software module 27 counting cars is issued by the controller 21.

Video server 26 provides detailed logging of the KAU-V. Messages displayed in the administrator's workstation monitor window allow you to see at what stage the complex is currently operating. Video server 26 starts the replication process - copying recorded photos of read trains, video cars, as well as text information from the archive 31 compositions of the software module 29 recognition of the reading point 8 in a long-term storage 32 data. Ready-to-copy information is queued in descending order of priority. The priority in the process of copying is the photo and video images of the cars for which partial recognition of numbers was made or for some reason the recognition was not made. Copy results are recorded in the replication logs. A “log” is a text file in which each event corresponds to one line with time and some additional information. For the convenience of users, log files are often grouped by date, which makes it easier to find the necessary information ”(“ Hosting Encyclopedia ”, www.book.majordomo.ru).

The video server 26 gives the command to transfer to the ACS 7 of the enterprise file from the archive 31 compositions containing a list of recognized numbers.

In the configuration files of the video server 26, the following settings are made: determining the number of cars 2 in the packages of the archive of 31 trains, setting the parameters for automatic cleaning of the archive of 31 trains, removing the locomotive from the resulting file containing the list of cars 2 and inventory numbers for the whole train and files containing the list of numbers in format intended for sending to ACS 7 enterprises, and also set the start-end time of natural daylight hours. Sets and changes the settings of the video server 26 software administrator.

The software module 27 counting cars as data arrives from the sensors 17 magnetic begins to form a list of past cars 2. The software module 27 counting cars processes the information coming from the sensor subsystem 15, as a result of which the fact of travel and the start and end time of travel of each car 2 through reading point 8;

the software module for counting 27 cars controls the recording of the software module 28 for video capture and the export of the received video information to the online archive 30 of video data. The video capture software module 28 records data from the cameras 12 and generates an online video archive 30.

The video capture software module 28 records the video images of the trains into the online video archive 30 and provides for their receipt from the online video archive 30 created on the basis of information about the start and end times of cars 2; as a result, separate files with video images of the passage of the cars through the reading point 8 for each camera 12 are created.

With the beginning of the formation of lists of cars 2, the processing of recorded data is started. By exporting video from the online archive of 30 video data, a composition folder is created. Then, the recognition program module 29 is automatically launched, which, using the files of the composition folder, recognizes numbers.

As a result of the operation of the car number recognition system 4, information on each car 2 and on the train as a whole is recorded in the composition folder.

The software module for recognizing 29 numbers of wagons 2 is automatically launched when the software module 28 creates video capture of video files of each of the cameras 12 for each wagon 2 and recognizes the numbers of wagons using these files. The results of the operation of the module 29 recognition of numbers are recorded in the archive folders for each package (one or more) wagons; the composition file also contains the resulting file; decryption of the contents of the files is presented in the archive of 31 compositions; To identify unrecognized numbers, an additional auxiliary recognition program is used.

The online video archive 30 is intended for short-term storage of video information recorded by the cameras 12 when the magnetic positioning sensors 17 are triggered.

An archive of 31 trains stores in the folders of trains the collected and processed information about the trains passed on the working disk of the local server 19. Each train folder has its own unique number, and packages of cars are grouped in it. The composition folder also contains files containing information on the composition as a whole: a list of recognized numbers in a format intended for sending to ACS 7 of the enterprise; the resulting file containing a list of cars, serial numbers and inventory numbers for the entire train; a file with data on the fixed standard time of the beginning and completion of the passage of each car through the reading point 8.

The name of the package means the serial numbers of cars, the range of numbers for which information is in this package. The number of cars in the package can be changed in the settings of the video server 26.

If necessary, at the request of the operator, the saved photo or video images are sent to the ACS 7 of the enterprise. The list of car numbers is sent to the automated control system of 7 enterprises every time after the end of the processing of composition data.

Video for the entire composition from each camera 12 can be viewed in the export folder, also located in the composition folder.

The online video archive 30 automatically cleans up the data after a predetermined period, for example, after three days for a railway station.

The central post of KAU-V carries out the collection, transmission and long-term storage of data, provides the operator with the opportunity to work with the user interface of the software component of the KAU-V complex, as well as organizes information interaction with external KAU-V systems.

The centralized long-term data storage 32 is part of the equipment of the KAU-V central post. The centralized long-term data storage 32 consists of storage modules 33, which are used as storage devices and are the main data storage devices. Storage modules 33 provide automatic storage of information in the event of failure of one of the storage modules 33 and its recovery on the storage module installed in place of the storage module that failed.

The storage module 33 of the long-term centralized data storage 32, the volume of which, for example, is equal to one terabyte, has an archive of recorded data, including video images, which can contain records for approximately five thousand trains or three hundred thousand wagons. The amount of data storage depends on the speed of trains, the availability of stops, the video compression codec and can average about three megabytes per wagon.

The centralized long-term data storage 32 uses a central data storage management server 35 connected to the reading system 1 via an Ethernet 36 local network. Filling a centralized long-term data storage 32 occurs under the control of a video server 26.

The software module 37 for integration with ACS 7 of an enterprise, for example, a railway station, is designed to transfer output data to the ACS 7 system of a railway station, transmit images on demand, obtain mismatch lists that are generated by the ACS 7 software of a railway station when comparing the output results of KAU-V with full-scale sheets of compounds. “The full-scale sheet is the main technological document used to organize the process of processing car flows at railway stations” (“Instructions for the compilation of the full-scale sheet of the train”),

Comparison of the numbers of actually received wagons with the data of full-scale sheets helps to avoid errors in the formation of trains, allows you to achieve tangible savings in time and money. The number is counted and the erroneous location of the wagons in the train is detected, the numbers of arriving and departing wagons match the data of full-scale sheets, and issuance of mismatch lists.

The KAU-V equipment installed at the inlet section of the enterprise automatically reads the numbers of the train cars and, through the channels of the data transmission network, provides this information for accounting in the ACS database of 7 enterprises. In the event of inconsistency of the data on the train actually received at the station by its full-scale sheet, the differences will be taken into account in the preparation of all technological operations. This will prevent improper processing of the train and, as a result, avoid unnecessary time and material costs. To additionally control the results of train processing operations and to avoid sending incorrectly formed trains, KAU-V equipment can also be installed behind a sorting park at the outlet of the enterprise.

Workstation 6 of the administrator contains a personal computer, network equipment, allows you to configure and configure the hardware and software modules of the entire complex, and also provides access to archive information about past trains.

The software module 38 for monitoring the status of the complex provides remote monitoring, diagnostics, monitoring of the KAU-V complex, - provides a view of the current status of all systems of the complex, and provides access to a centralized long-term data storage.

The reader control system software module 39 monitors the reader equipment and has the ability to remotely configure KAU-V software. Workstation 6 of the administrator displays information about recorded passages, video views of selected wagons, provides access to archived information about past passages.

Thus, KAU-V provides efficient automatic 24-hour video recording of rolling stock; automatic reading and recognition of car numbers with high accuracy in any meteorological conditions; consolidation of data on rolling stock with enterprise control systems requiring its static position, and also provides the ability to record car traffic at passenger speeds of up to 200 km / h and freight trains up to 60 km / h.

The inventive utility model is a highly efficient complete technical solution that does not require the use of identification devices and provides the universal application of KAU-V for all participants in rail transportation, increases the efficiency of its use at enterprises of any scale, integrates with the enterprise’s ACS and external structural units of the transportation process due to which the efficiency of automated metering of carriages is increased ota.
