Abstract
The present invention includes an on-board control apparatus that generates train position information using ground coil position information and train speed information and outputs the train position information, and a ground control apparatus that receives the train position information outputted by the on-board control apparatus, identifies a position of a train using the train position information and stored track information, generates train control data having a size corresponding to the identified position of the train, and outputs the train control data toward the train.
Claims12
A train control system comprising:
- an on-board control apparatus to generate train position information using ground coil position information and train speed information and to output the train position information;
- and
- a ground control apparatus to receive the train position information outputted by the on-board control apparatus, to identify a position of a train using the train position information and stored track information, to generate train control data having a size corresponding to the identified position of the train, and to output the train control data toward the train.

A ground control apparatus comprising:
- an input unit to which train position information outputted from an on-board control apparatus mounted on a train is inputted;
- a position information acquisition unit to acquire the train position information inputted to the input unit;
- a storage unit having track information stored therein;
- a ground data generation unit to identify a position of a train using the train position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and the track information stored in the storage unit, and to generate train control data having a size corresponding to the identified position of the train;
- and
- an output unit to output the train control data generated by the ground data generation unit toward an on-board control apparatus.
An on-board control apparatus provided in a train including a tacho-generator and a pickup coil, the apparatus comprising:
- a train control unit to calculate a position of the train using ground coil information transmitted from a ground coil disposed on a track along which the train travels and received by the pickup coil and train speed information detected by the tacho-generator, and to control the train;
- a storage unit having track information on the track stored therein;
- and
- an on-board data generation unit to identify the position of the train using the position of the train calculated by the train control unit and the track information stored in the storage unit, and to generate and output train position information having a size corresponding to the identified position of the train.
