METHOD FOR INTERVAL REGULATION OF TRAIN TRAFFIC Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B61L23/16 

FIELD: train traffic interval regulation methods.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for interval regulation of train traffic. In the method, at adjacent stations, in real time, according to the data of the hardware-software complex of the stationary equipment of the automatic blocking system, information is collected on the number of free track circuits, on the basis of which a data packet is formed about the train situation at the circulation section and the location is determined in the area of operation of the automatic blocking system for trains. Based on the results of information exchange over a radio channel with locomotive train safety devices, trains are registered in the auto-blocking system coverage area and cyclically at least once every three seconds, a generated data packet about the train situation in the train circulation section is transmitted over the radio channel in broadcast mode. The locomotive safety device of each train calculates in real time the distance to the first occupied track circuit in the direction of travel and generates an allowable speed based on the lengths free track circuits according to the electronic map of the locomotive safety device. Wherein the locomotive safety device operates in the mode of receiving and simultaneously processing data from the radio channel and data from the channel of automatic locomotive signaling of continuous operation, and the data from the radio channel are priority.

EFFECT: increase in traffic safety and reduction of the inter-train interval by increasing the discreteness of interrogation of signaling devices and data on the train situation in the circulation section via the radio channel.
