Proposing a Train Speed Profile Generation Method in Railway Signalling Systems Based on Internet of Things (IoT): Performance and Stability Assurance

Abstract

In the past years, the Internet of Things has created tremendous changes in various industries, including transportation systems and especially railway signalling systems. One of the issues that is very important in signalling systems is the design of trains speed profiles to control the movement of trains based on the defined headway and line conditions such as other trains positions. Information packet loss is one of the issues that should be considered in the field of Internet of Things and if this issue occurs, effective solutions should be adopted in the system for optimal performance. In this article, a method for generating speed profiles for moving block signalling systems in case of packet loss is proposed and the stability of the system is checked using the proposed method. Finally, we will implement the proposed method on a part of a railway line and examine the results.
