[0001] The present application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No.
201711113006.X filed on November 13, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as part
of the present application.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a field of automatic control technologies, and
in particular, to an automatic releasing method for a locked route, and more particularly
to a method and apparatus for route release in Computer Interlock (CI), and a computer
storage medium.
BACKGROUND
[0003] With the rapid development of Chinese high-speed railway industry, the CTCS-2 and
CTCS-3 train control systems have been practically applied to many passenger lines,
which improves the automation level of train control and reduces a running interval
of trains.
[0004] In order to ensure safe running of the trains and avoid accidents of the trains due
to some reasons, factors such as braking distance and track are taken into full consideration;
and when a train runs in a switch section of station, in order to prevent accidents
of trailing, derailments and even rollover, all switches in the train running direction
have to be locked at specified positions, and the switches are not allowed to rotate
after being locked. In the CI process, the switches are locked in a mode of route
locking section, i.e., after a route is locked, the switches in the route section
are not allowed to rotate.
[0005] The length of section route locking time is closely related to the running interval
of the trains, and timely release of the route section can prepare routes for following
trains as soon as possible, so that the running interval can be greatly shortened.
In the prior art, in order to improve station transportation efficiency, route release
in CI is generally designed in a sectional release mode. When the sectional release
mode is adopted, the section in the locked route should be automatically released
along with normal running of the train, and the section which the train passes can
be immediately provided to other trains for use, so as to improve running efficiency.
However, in order to ensure driving safety, CI needs to determine by effective means
whether the train normally passes through the locked section. Therefore, those skilled
in the art urgently need to research and develop a method for accurately judging whether
a running train normally passes through the locked section so as to maximize driving
efficiency when ensuring driving safety.
SUMMARY
[0006] In view of this, the present disclosure is intended to solve the technical problem
of providing a method and apparatus for route release in CI and a computer storage
medium, and solves the problem in the prior art that a train is misjudged normally
passes through a locked section when some track circuits are abnormal.
[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, a specific embodiment of
the present disclosure provides a method for route release in CI, including: judging
whether a train normally drives into a current locked section; if a judging result
is yes, judging whether the train drives away from the current locked section; if
a judging result is yes, judging whether a rear section of the current locked section
is released; and if a judging result is yes, releasing the current locked section.
[0008] A specific embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a computer storage
medium including a computer executing instruction. When the computer executing instruction
is processed by a data processing device, the data processing device executes steps
of: judging whether a train normally drives into a current locked section; if a judging
result is yes, judging whether the train drives away from the current locked section;
if a judging result is yes, judging whether a rear section of the current locked section
is released; and if a judging result is yes, releasing the current locked section.
[0009] A specific embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an apparatus for
route release in CI, including: a first judging unit, which is used for judging whether
a train normally drives into a current locked section; a second judging unit, which
is used for judging whether the train drives away from the current locked section
when a judging result of the first judging unit is yes; a third judging unit, which
is used for judging whether a rear section of the current locked section is released
when a judging result of the second judging unit is yes; and a releasing unit, which
is used for releasing the current locked section when a judging result of the third
judging unit is yes.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned specific embodiments of the present disclosure,
it can be known that the method and apparatus for route release in CI and the computer
storage medium at least have following advantages: it is determined whether the train
normally passes through the locked section in a three-point section check mode, i.e.,
only when the train normally drives into the locked section and then drives away from
the locked section, the locked section can be allowed to be released, thereby avoiding
misjudgment when the track circuits are abnormal; and whether the train normally passes
through the locked section can be accurately determined by a state of front section
and states of the rear section and the current section (the current locked section),
thereby maximizing driving efficiency when ensuring driving safety.
[0011] It should be known that the general description above and the specific embodiments
below merely are exemplary and interpretive, and cannot make any limit to the scope
of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of
the disclosure apparent, the spirit of contents disclosed by the present disclosure
will be illustrated clearly by the drawings and detailed description. Those skilled
in any technical arts, after knowing the embodiments of the contents of the present
disclosure, can make changes and modifications by the technologies shown in the contents
of the present disclosure, without departure from the spirit and scope of the contents
of the present disclosure.
[0014] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of Embodiment I of a method for route release in CI, as provided
in detailed description of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, if a train
normally drives into a current locked section and drives away from the current locked
section, the current locked section is released.
[0015] In the specific embodiment shown in this drawing, the method for route release in
CI includes:
S101: judging whether the train normally drives into the current locked section. In
the specific embodiment of the present disclosure, in a normal case, the train sequentially
passes through a rear section, the current locked section and a front section. It
is determined whether the train normally drives into the current locked section from
the rear section.
S102: if a judging result is yes, judging whether the train drives away from the current
locked section. In the specific embodiment of the present disclosure, if the train
normally enters the current locked section, it is needed to determine whether the
train drives away from the current locked section (i.e., determine whether the train
drives away from the current locked section and enters the front section).
S103: if a judging result is yes, judging whether the rear section of the current
locked section is released. In the specific embodiment of the present disclosure,
after the rear section of the current locked section is released, the current locked
section can be immediately provided to other trains for use, thereby improving running
efficiency.
S104: if a judging result is yes, releasing the current locked section. In the specific
embodiment of the present disclosure, if the train normally drives into the current
locked section and drives away from the current locked section, after the rear section
of the current locked section is released, the current locked section is released.
[0016] With reference to FIG. 1, only when the train normally passes through the current
locked section and the rear section of the current locked section is released, the
current locked section can be released, thereby implementing automatic release of
the locked section, preventing misjudgment caused by abnormality of track circuits
and maximizing running efficiency when ensuring driving safety.
[0017] FIG. 2 is a flow chart of Embodiment II of a method for route release in CI, as provided
in detailed description of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, if the train
does not normally drive into the current locked section or the train does not normally
drive away from the current locked section, the current locked section is kept in
a locked state.
[0018] In the specific embodiment shown in this drawing, after the step S104, the method
for route release in CI further includes:

normally drive into the current locked section or the train does not normally drive
away from the current locked section, the current locked section still cannot be released
so as to avoid driving danger.
[0019] With reference to FIG. 2, in order to ensure driving safety of the train, only when
the train normally passes through the current locked section and the rear section
of the current locked section is released, the current locked section can be released.
[0020] FIG. 3 is a flow chart of Embodiment III of a method for route release in CI, as

the idle state, it shows that a train head has driven into the current locked section.
S1012: if a judging result is yes, judging whether the rear section is turned into
the idle state from the occupied state. In the specific embodiment of the present
disclosure, if the current locked section is a signal first internal section, the
rear section is also called as a route approaching section or a signal external section.
The state of the rear section includes the idle state and the occupied state, and
when the rear section is turned into the idle state from the occupied state, it shows
that a train rear end has driven away from the rear section, i.e., the train completely
enters the current locked section.
[0022] In the step S1012, if the judging result is yes, it is determined that the train
normally drives into the current locked section. In the specific embodiment of the
present disclosure, only when the current locked section is turned into the occupied
state from the idle state and the rear section is turned into the idle state from
the occupied state, it can be determined that the train completely drives into the
current locked section.
[0023] With reference to FIG. 3, when the current locked section is turned into the occupied
state from the idle state and the rear section is turned into the idle state from
the occupied state, it is accurately determined that the train completely drives into
the current locked section and misjudgment cannot occur.
[0024] FIG. 4 is a flow chart of Embodiment IV of a method for route release in CI, as provided
in detailed description of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, only when a
state of the front section is turned into an occupied state from an idle state and

idle state. In the specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the state of the
front section includes the idle state and the occupied state; and when the state of
the front section is turned into the occupied state from the idle state, it shows
that the train has driven into the front section.
S1022: if a judging result is yes, judging whether the current locked section is turned
into the idle state from the occupied state. In the specific embodiment of the present
disclosure, when the state of the current locked section is turned into the idle state
from the occupied state, it shows that the train rear end has driven away from the
current locked section.
[0026] In the step S1022, if the judging result is yes, it is determined that the train
normally drives away from the current locked section. In the specific embodiment of
the present disclosure, only when the front section is turned into the occupied state
from the idle state and the current locked section is turned into the idle state from
the occupied state, it can be determined that the train normally drives away from
the current locked section.
[0027] With reference to FIG. 4, only when the front section is turned into the occupied
state from the idle state and the current locked section is turned into the idle state
from the occupied state, it can be determined that the train normally drives away
from the current locked section, thereby accurately determining that the train normally
drives away from the current locked section and ensuring driving safety.
