Variable-position System for Balises in Automated Vehicle Depot
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 10
Abstract
Objective The restriction and impact of balises in the maintenance trench of automated vehicle depots on vehicle maintenance grow increasingly prominent. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a research on the variable-position scheme of self-resetting weight-driven pulling type in balise variable-position system. Method Based on the actual requirements of vehicle maintenance processe, a three-level architecture for the balise variable-position system is designed, comprising master control console, electric control cabinet, and variable-position mechanism. The system supports multiple control modes, including manual direct control, interlinked control with intelligent vehicle inspection robots, and automatic interlinked control with signaling system SPKS (staff protection key switch), ensuring operational flexibility and precision. Additionally, the system is equipped with safety redundancy measures such as built-in laser positioning detection and manual locking to meet the stringent reliability requirements of the signaling system. Result & Conclusion In practical application within vehicle depots, the balise variable-position system effectively utilizes the spatial gaps between track bridge support columns, enabling the transition from fixed to variable-position balise mounting. This revolution not only ensures precise and efficient FAO (fully automatic operation) train dispatching and receiving, but also significantly facilitates convenience in the work of depot inspection personnel and intelligent inspection robots, effectively addressing the limitations imposed on maintenance operations by fixed balise mounting.
