TRAIN CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF

To provide a train control device which can perform control with a first control type first calculation unit even if it is impossible to receive a first control signal in a first control type dedicated region.SOLUTION: A train control device for performing train control by speed-checking a difference between an actual speed and a speed limit pattern according to an inter-vehicle distance comprises: a speed detection unit which outputs a speed signal by detecting the actual speed of a vehicle to use it for speed checking; an information transmission unit which receives position information; a first reception unit which receives a first control signal from the ground to use it as on-vehicle element information; a first calculation unit which calculates first control information based on the speed signal and the first control signal to associate it with the speed limit pattern; a second reception unit which receives a second control signal from the ground; and a second calculation unit which calculates second control information based on the speed signal and the second control signal, associates it with the speed limit pattern and properly converts the second control information into the first control information. The device converts CBTC into ATC and controls the train with ATC if it is impossible to receive ATC.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 第１制御方式専用領域において第１制御信号が受信不能でも、第１制御方式の第１演算部により制御できる列車制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】 車間距離による速度制限パターンと、実速度との差を速度照査して列車制御する列車制御装置であって、車両の実速度を検出した速度信号を出力して速度照査に供する速度検出部と、位置情報を受信する情報伝送部と、地上からの第１制御信号を受信して車上子情報とする第１受信部と、速度信号と第１制御信号に基づく第１制御情報を演算して速度制限パターンに関連付ける第１演算部と、地上からの第２制御信号を受信する第２受信部と、速度信号と第２制御信号に基づく第２制御情報を演算して速度制限パターンに関連付けるとともに、第２制御情報を第１制御情報に適宜変換する第２演算部と、を備えた。ＡＴＣが受信不能なら、ＣＢＴＣをＡＴＣに変換し、ＡＴＣで列車制御する。【選択図】 図１
