Abstract

This chapter introduces a train unmanned driving system and its comprehensive performance evaluation system, which is called the automatic train control (ATC) system. ATC refers to the use of a control device to keep a controlled object running and changing according to a predetermined process without the direct participation of people. The ATC system is a commonly used signaling system for railway vehicles that realizes automatic protection and automatic control to effectively ensure the normal and safe operation of the vehicles. The ATC system includes three subsystems, namely an automatic train protection (ATP) system, an automatic train operation (ATO) system, and an automatic train supervision (ATS) system. ATO, ATP, and ATS jointly complete the automatic control of train operation. This chapter first explores the development, structure, and application of the ATC system. Then for three different subsystems, the corresponding performance indices are introduced. Finally, three types of comprehensive performance evaluation method for the train unmanned driving system are described in detail, including the comprehensive evaluation function, the analysis of the ATO hierarchical structure, and the comprehensive weight determination method based on AHP-entropy.
