The high-speed train control system is essential to the safety and efficiency of train operation. With the rapid increase of high-speed railway (HSR) operating mileage and development of information technology, the disposal flow and methods in emergency response are still based on dispatchers and drivers’ experience within the “layered” architecture of current system. There is a certain gap between current processing methods and effective resolution, which may even cause the spread of delay along with the railway networks. Therefore, we propose an integration system of operation control and online rescheduling to improve the recovery ability of HSR carrying capacity. We first describe the framework, information flow, and disposal process of the current system and analyze the shortcomings in handling emergencies. Then, the basic concept, system structure, and framework of the integration system are introduced. Finally, taking temporary speed restriction caused by strong wind as an example, we also analyze the principle of why and how the integration system can promote the recovery ability of HSR carrying capacity.
