In an embodiment, the driving dispatch control system 1A includes a plurality of sensing devices 80. Each sensing device 80 can be arranged on a track close to a station, and respectively transmit an identification signal. The identification signal of each sensing device 80 is different, which is used for identification.

When the train TR is traveling and approaches a station (for example, less than a predetermined distance), the train dispatching device 70 of the train TR receives the identification signal of the sensing device 80 of the station. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sensing devices 80 near different stations have different identifiers, so the train dispatching device 70 can confirm which station the train TR is about to enter based on the received identification signal. For example, the traffic dispatch control system 1A can use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for identification, and the present invention is not limited.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, each sensing device 80 has a different identifier, and the train dispatching device 70 stores an identifier list. The train dispatching device 70 can use the received identification signal to look up the table to determine which station is about to be entered.

In addition, the train dispatching device 70 can also transmit the message that the train is about to enter the station via the communication network 40 by voice broadcast, such as the message "Taipei Station 101 is approaching" to the train crew, station attendant, or nearby construction personnel using the same radio communication group. The radio communication device of relevant staff will send out voice messages so that they can know that the train is about to enter the station and make preparations in advance, so that relevant staff can wait for the train to pass and improve the safety of relevant staff. In addition, the relevant service personnel in the station can also prepare related work for travel services after receiving the voice message.

This mechanism has many advantages for automated driving, driving scheduling, and driving safety. Taking automated train driving as an example, once the train dispatching device 70 determines that the train is about to enter the station but there is no sign of deceleration within a certain period of time, the train dispatching device 70 can take the initiative to report to the central console 10, the dispatching station 20, the station control device 30 or Communication device 50 and other warnings. In some cases, if there is still no sign of deceleration, the train dispatching device 70 can actively decelerate or even activate the braking mechanism.

Taking train dispatching as an example, once the train dispatching device 70 determines that it is about to enter a station, the train dispatching device 70 can actively notify the central console 10, the dispatching station 20, and the station control device 30 to ensure that no other vehicles are parked on the track, or use This message dispatches the platform where the train can stop.

In terms of traffic safety, in the past, there was no call response mechanism for trains to enter the station. For example, station staff or construction personnel are equipped with communication equipment that can communicate with the communication network 40. Once the train dispatching device 70 determines that the train is about to enter a certain At the station, the message can be sent via the communication network 40 to the communication equipment held by the relevant staff or construction personnel of the station for warning. In this way, accidents caused by people staying near the track can be avoided.
