Abstract
An urban rail transit train control system based on vehicle-vehicle communications, comprising an intelligent train supervision (ITS) system, a train manage center (TMC), a data communication system (DCS), and an intelligent vehicle on-board controller (IVOC) provided on each of trains, the ITS system. The TMC and the IVOC are communicatively coupled by the DCS, and IVOCs of the trains communicatively coupled by the DCS. IVOCs of all the trains report first train operation information to the ITS system and second train operation information to the TMC in accordance with a predetermined period. The TMC sends the received second train operation information to the ITS system. The ITS system determines a following train that needs a virtual coupling operation and a head train corresponding to the following train, and dispatch a virtual coupling operation instruction to the head train IVOC to perform a virtual coupling operation of trains.
