Study on distributed railway signal control system based on multi-agent all electronic intelligence

A safe and efficient railway signal control is an important guarantee of a safe railway transportation. Based on the current problems of over-concentration of signal control, increasingly complexed system under the situation of railway transportation developing into high-speed and heavy-loaded one with shortening time in maintainence, this paper has put forward a distributed raiway signal intelligence system based on multi-agent, fully discussed its component parts and their respective functions and suggested a communication method among multi agents and their cooperation mechanism. With introducing multi-agent into railway signal control system, a brand new control structure can be used to better railway signal control pattern and improve the reliability and availability of the whole signal control system accordingly.
