CAF的信号部门与荷兰铁路公司合作,完成了一个专注于在荷兰实施 GOA4 级(完全自主)自动列车运行(ATO)的雄心勃勃的技术创新项目。这是西班牙铁路自动化技术领域的一个重要里程碑,巩固了这家西班牙公司作为国际技术创新标杆的地位。
该项目包括两个关键行动方针。第一个是 ATO Endurance(耐久性),包括对 GoA2 级别的 ATO 系统(司机在驾驶室自动驾驶)进行详尽的测试,在整个荷兰铁路网络上运行,无论是否存在自动列车保护 (ATP) 系统,无论是ETCS(欧洲标准)、国家 ATB 系统或两者的组合。目标是评估能源效率、准点率和运力方面的改进,覆盖超过 40,000 公里的行程。
第二条研究重点是远程/自主调车,即在真实的车辆段环境中执行远程和自动化操作,包括车辆段到首末站之间的路线,即使是混合行车。测试包括远程模式操作(GoA1 和 GoA2;分别为手动和自动)和完全自主操作(GoA4,无人驾驶)。
该项目的成功已在德福克仓库与格罗宁根主站之间的演示中得到体现。完成了两次远程驾驶(GoA1)的远程连接和断开操作,以及一次 GoA4 级别的运行。后者包括激活驾驶室、与其他列车连接和断开、在遵守侧向信号、检测障碍物(车挡、列车和假人)列车运行等高级任务。尽管存在不利天气条件,如夜间的大雨和雪,感知系统已证明其可靠性,确保了成功的运行。
该项目于 2022 年 4 月(CAF 与 NS 签署协议)正式启动,但与 NS 在自动驾驶和 ATOoverETCS 方面的合作始于 2019 年,当时在 SNG 列车上进行了首次 ATO over ETCS 测试。
本项目旨在探索ATO(自动列车操作系统)、远程驾驶和自动驾驶对 NS(荷兰国家铁路公司)能提供什么,为此配备了一列 SNG 列车。将继续在欧洲 R2DATO 项目下,EURail 计划中作为一部分开发这些技术。
CAF consolidates its position as a technological pioneer in the automation of railway operations
Remote, automatic and autonomous driving tests have been carried out in the Netherlands
The Spanish company collaborates with the railway operator Nederlandse Spoorwegen in this project
CAF's signalling division has completed an ambitious technological innovation project focused on the implementation of Automatic Train Operation (ATO) up to GoA4 level (fully autonomous). in the Netherlands, in collaboration with the railway operator Nederlandse Spoorwegen.
This is an important milestone in the field of railway automation and consolidates the Spanish company as a benchmark in technological innovation at international level.
This project included two key lines of action. The first, ATO Endurance, consisted of carrying out exhaustive tests of the ATO system at GoA2 level (automatic driving with driver in cab), operating on the entire Dutch railway network regardless of the automatic train protection (ATP) system present, whether it is ETCS (European standard), the national ATB system or a combination of both. The objective was to evaluate improvements in energy efficiency, punctuality and capacity covering more than 40,000km travelled.
The second line of research focused on Remote/Autonomous Shunting, i.e., remote and automated operations were executed in a real depot environment, including the route between the depot and the first/last station, even with mixed traffic. The tests included maneuvers in remote mode (GoA1 and GoA2; manual and automatic, respectively) and fully autonomous operations (GoA4, driverless).
The success of the program has been shown in a demonstration between the De Vork depot and the main station in Groningen (in the Netherlands). During this exhibition, two runs in remote driving (GoA1) with remote-controlled coupling and uncoupling were completed, as well as one run at GoA4 level. The latter included advanced tasks such as activating cabs, coupling and uncoupling with other trains, driving while respecting lateral signalling and detecting obstacles, including track buffers stops, trains and dummies.
Despite adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain and snow at nightfall, the perception systems have proven their reliability, ensuring successful operations.
“These achievements underline CAF's leadership in the development of railway signalling and automation technologies. Initiatives of this nature are a demonstration of our commitment to the modernization of rail transport and to a more efficient, safe and sustainable future for our clients.素材来源:综合自CAF
