Design and realization of integrated operation and maintenance platform of train operation dispatching command system (TDCS)

Based on in-depth research on the structure of train operation dispatching command system (TDCS) and its operation maintenance status, a TDCS integrated operation and maintenance platform is designed in this paper. This platform realizes real-time monitoring of the computers, network equipment, databases, software and hardware and other infrastructure based on the businesses, effective pre-alarm for business, hardware and other aspects and analysis of malfunctions and emergencies. It ensures standardized and institutionalized daily operation maintenance and management of the TDCS by establishing reasonable electronic processes, assists fault analysis, identification, investigation and elimination through technical means and helps with the accumulation of aid decision-making knowledge base for troubleshooting and forms a complete TDCS operation and maintenance process management system.

I. Introduction

The train operation dispatching command system (TDCS) has experienced rapid development in recent years by the aid of information technology and it has covered China Railway Corporation, 18 railway bureaus and nearly 8000 stations and realized transparent command, real-time adjustment and centralized control of train operation [1]. The train operation density is gradually increasing and tracking intervals gradually decreasing along with the train speed-raise for multiple times. As services and functions of the TDCS are constantly extended and strengthened, dispatching command is increasingly depending on TDCS and it becomes difficult to fulfill train dispatch without the system. Consequently, it requires a higher level of stability, reliability and security of the TDCS [2] [3].
