Abstract

From the view of Transportation Organization (TO) and Zone Control (ZC), business process of modern tram system was firstly analyzed. Furthermore, functional requirements of modern tram Operation Control System (OCS) were analyzed, and then an integrated design scheme of TO and ZC was proposed. On this basis, structure, interfaces, and software of novel Central Operation Control System (COCS) were designed. Based on industrial computer and Windows operation system, human–computer interaction software and dispatching management software were developed, and based on PC104 hardware platform and VxWorks embedded operation system, security protection software was developed. Finally, the test of the elementary prototype was completed. The test results show that the design of COCS is reasonable and feasible. The COCS elementary prototype realizes functions correctly and completely.
