Development of the Reconnected Metro Train Control and Monitoring System

Abstract

Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS) is usually used to monitor the status of train and all the subsystem, to control the train-level functions and vehicle-level functions, including the control of the Propulsion Subsystem, the Braking Subsystem, the Passenger Information Subsystem, and so on. This paper mainly introduces the design of metro train control and monitoring system, including the designs of network structure, Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Portable Maintenance Unit (PTU), and summarizes the advantages of the new network system.
