Abstract: The notification time for train approaching and the length of the train approaching notification section for the level crossing are determined on the basis of the time when the automatic driving container truck normally passes through the level crossing. Two information collection points for train approaching are set within the length of the approach section. The first information collection point of approaching section is set at the entrance of the approaching notification section, while the second information collection point of approaching section is set at the entrance of the emergency braking section of the level crossing. On the basis of the horizontal transportation system (VMS) and level crossing signaling system of the railway loading and unloading station of automated container terminals, a new signaling system of automated level crossing is installed for each railway level crossing. As a subsystem of the VMS system of the container terminals, it can enhance the safety control of the automated VMS system of the container freight yards on the traffic of the automated loading and unloading station, to ensure the traffic safety of the level crossings. Moreover, it can significantly improve the transport efficiency of roads and railways within the loading and unloading station.

Key words: signaling system of level crossing, train approaching notification, port-railway combined transport, automated container terminal, railway loading and unloading line, AGV, VMS system

摘要： 根据自动驾驶集卡车辆正常运行通过道口的时间确定道口列车接近通知时间及列车接近通知区段长度，在接近区段长度内设置两处列车的接近信息采集点，在接近通知区段入口端设置第一接近区段信息采集点，在距道口紧急制动区段入口端设置第二接近区段信息采集点。在自动化集装箱码头铁路装卸站水平运输系统和道口信号系统的基础上，为每一处铁路道口新设一套自动化道口信号系统，作为码头水平运输系统（VMS）的子系统，不仅能增强集装箱货场自动化水平运输系统对自动化装卸站交通的安全管控能力，保证道口交通安全，还可以显著提高装卸站内道路和铁路的交通运输效率。
