The invention relates to a
train protection system and method based on
laser detection. The
train protection system comprises a
laser sensor module used for emitting
laser pulses to the front side of a current
train and receiving echo pulse information, an
electronic map positioning module used for acquiring the current position of the train, information whether the train is located at a curve and curve curvature information when the train is located at the curve, an
information acquisition and storage module acquiring and storing the above echo pulse information in real time, and a
data processing and analysis module used for acquiring
distance measurement data, the current position of the current train and / or the curve curvature information to adjust the running speed of the current train. By the adoption of the
system, only corresponding equipment needs to be installed at the front portion of the train, ground equipment does not need to be installed on each
station, dependence on the normal working states of other trains is not needed, the occupied train-mounted space is small, and installation is easy and convenient. Meanwhile, the
system can serve as an
auxiliary system for an ATP
system, the train collision possibility is reduced, and the train traveling safety is improved.
