Metro Depot Integrate Automation System (MDIAS)

Background

Currently, most metro depots in China rely on outdated production dispatching methods, with low levels of informatization and automation, inefficient planning, poor business coordination, and weak safety control.

Driven by relevant policy documents such as the “Guidelines for Requirements and Implementation of Metro Depot Integrated Automation Management System inUrban Rail Transit”, the productfacilitates the intelligent and automated upgrade of depots. It complies with the automation management requirements outlined in GB/T 51268-2017Regulation for Metro Depot Engineering ofUrban Rail Transit, and aligns with the spirit issued in the “Smart Urban Rail Development Outline” by the China Association of Metros.

Product Features

  • Intelligent Planning

    By adopting AI-based algorithms that automatically generate plans for train reception and dispatch, shunting, and maintenance, the system reduces the planning time from 4 hours to 0.5 hours, with support for dynamic adjustments, significantly improving planning efficiency.

  • Integrated Operation Data

    Consolidating data from signaling, PHM, and other systems, the product enables coordinated management of maintenance, train operation, and materials, enhancing service synergies.

  • SIL2 Safety Control

    The system reduces human error risks by automatic route triggering and conflict detection (e.g., checks for construction zones, power outages, and interlocking conditions). The system meets SIL2 safety standards, ensuring operational safety.

  • Mileage-Based Intelligent Linkage

    The system automatically estimates train mileage and links it with maintenance plans based on operation diagrams and maintenance regulations, completing a closed-loop management of "prediction → execution → optimization", thereby improving utilization efficiency.

  • Efficient Collaborative Operation

    The system enables seamless coordination across maintenance planning, maintenance operations, train utilization, and train operations, improving overall efficiency and quality.
