Organization units provide an address for common access of subsystems. Sub functions and services of the organization units are integrated by the address in the subsystems to access the organization units. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a method for operating a traffic management system (B) a machine readable storage medium, on which a program is stored (C) a computer program that enables a data processing device.

Description

The The invention relates to a traffic management system, method of operation such and a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which in particular can be used in Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) systems.

In Today's ATS systems is the information content of the presentation of an object "train" mostly limited to the occupied sections and the train number. Also is the Access to the train or its subsystems - if at all possible - to different operating systems distributed.

in the operational operation - in particular at UTO (Unattended Train Operation, automatic driving with little Staff) - needed that Staff in the ATS, however, a wealth other directly or indirectly related information available today for example, plans be read or queried by phone, such as current train position (mostly only available in blocks), current Operating status (for example, "parked"), currently running services (for example Zugrestaurant), current speed, current Energy reserves, current utilization (for example, number of passengers) or similar.

• – Kommunikation mit dem Zugpersonal via Train Radio;
• – Durchsage an Fahrgäste via Zugpersonal und Train Radio;
• – ferngesteuertes Schließen der Fahrzugtüren im Bahnhof;
• – betriebliche Anweisung an Fahrer (zum Beispiel "im nächsten Bahnhof nicht halten");
• – Zugnummerndurchsage an Fahrer, zur Eingabe in zugseitige ATP (= Automatic Train Protection).

In today's ATS systems, access to train-side facilities, such as Passenger Information, is usually not supported. For this reason, the ATS personnel indirectly access the resources available to them during operation, for example

• - communication with the train crew via Train Radio;
• - Announcement to passengers via train staff and train radio;
• - Remote controlled closing of the vehicle doors in the station;
• - operational instruction to driver (for example, "do not hold in the nearest station");
• - Train number announcement to driver, for entry into ATP on the train (= Automatic Train Protection).

Especially The disadvantage here is that the train-related data or interfaces in the ATS are not available respectively that the train-related data or interfaces are not related being represented. Another disadvantage is that the train-related data or interfaces can not be influenced by the train.

The Object "train" is therefore present in the ATS bad to handle. Operational relevant train-related information or interfaces are difficult to access for staff in the ATS. By the different systems and the different playback respectively presentation of the information can be operationally important train-related Easily overlooked information become.

The same problems crop up in other organizational units Environment of traffic management systems, in particular railway operations, on; in train stations, for example, Maintenance equipment or the like.

The The object of the invention is therefore to provide a traffic management system, a method of operating a traffic management system as well a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable To provide storage medium, which eliminate the disadvantages mentioned and in particular the integration of train-related or other organizational units allow related information and / or functions in higher-level systems.

2 an exemplary embodiment of an HMI with representation of Augmented Reality of a selected train.

aim The invention is the integration and visualization of the operational relevant train related data and mechanisms in the ATS into one or more train-related views and in the same way in more Systems.

For this becomes the object 'train' (but also, station ', 'Maintenance company' or similar) uniformly recorded in all applications. Access to detailed functions or subsystems of a train takes place in such a way that first the concrete train (with an address) addressed and afterwards is branched to the various functions. An object becomes therefore uniformly described in all systems and is thus uniformly addressable, and completely with both the logical Addressing as Zugumlaufsnummer, as well as physically with the underlying hardware. This functionality leads to a Unified management of objects in subsystems of the ATS system. Thus, an error message of a train at patency equal the necessary diagnostic steps and maintenance schedules for maintenance initiate.
