Abstract

The integration of railway signaling and communication realizes the bidirectional information transmission between trains and ground control centers In order to take full advantage of such information integration this paper presents the integration architecture of train scheduling and control based on the model predictive control with the hierarchical structure of top macroscopic middle mesoscopic and bottom microscopic levels The top level realizes the realtime train scheduling the middle level guarantees trains to run with safety distances and implement the realtime operation plans produced by the top level and the bottom level accomplishes the energy control and drives the trains to run according to the setpoints engendered by the middle level The proposed hierarchical feedback control can optimize the train operation shorten the departure interval improve the railway line density ensure the safety of railway transportation and eventually fulfill the Realtime Automatic Predictive Intelligent Scheduling and control for hIghSpeed Trains RAPISIST
