So in case of failure, from a station a noria to only five or even four stations will not affect system performance. In theory, the minimum number of stations for one noria to work is three. Indeed, given a speed of the tamping machine of the order of 5 m / min, the runway operator still has about 20 minutes to make a displacement of 300 meters. However, with a three-station noria, any operational incident of a station will cause stopping the progress of the site.
- the system also provides the benefit of allowing all staff assigned to the yard to stay out of the danger zone for the duration of the building site.
- the runway personnel only have to move at the posts catenaries to manage the rotation of stations, it never has to be near immediate of the tamper in work.

La description théorique de ces opérations d'entretien de voie est donnée dans l'ouvrage de référence LA VOIE FERREE, Jean ALIAS, EYROLLES PARIS 1984.Theoretical description of these lane maintenance operations is given in the reference book LA VOIE FERREE, Jean ALIAS, EYROLLES PARIS 1984.
Par ailleurs, il est connu du brevet EP 0 293 015 un dispositif de commande d'une machine à niveler et riper une voie de chemin de fer dans lequel des récepteurs portés par la machine pilotent le travail à effectuer à partir de données définissant l'état de la voie. Lesdites données sont déterminées par l'examen de portions de voie illuminées par deux faisceaux laser émis par un système émetteur installé sur un chariot stationné sur la voie.Furthermore, it is known from patent EP 0 293 015 a control device of a leveling and skimming machine a railroad track in which receivers carried by the machine control the work to be performed from data defining the state of the way. Said data are determined by the examination of portions of illuminated by two laser beams emitted by a transmitter system installed on a trolley parked on the way.
La présente invention vise à répondre aux nouvelles contraintes imposées aux entreprises de travaux ferroviaires par les exploitants des voies lors des travaux de bourrage dits "en base absolue stricte".The present invention aims to meet the new constraints imposed railway undertakings by track operators during stuffing called "strict absolute basis".
Ces contraintes sont principalement les suivantes :
- la machine doit avoir un rendement d'environ 900 m/h ;
- aucune intervention extérieure ne doit avoir pour conséquence de faire pénétrer des personnels et/ou des engins dans la portion de voie en cours de traitement par la machine, ni sur la voie contiguë circulée ;
- les valeurs typiques de la voie doivent être maintenues en base absolue stricte tous les dix mètres avec référence aux poteaux qui supportent la caténaire ;
- avoir dans la même passe de travail un relevé numérique des travaux réalisés ;
- vérifier en temps réel que la machine ne dérive pas entre deux repères caténaires.
- the machine must have a yield of about 900 m / h;
- no external intervention shall result in the entry of personnel and / or machinery into the portion of the track being treated by the machinery, nor on the contiguous track circulated;
- the typical values of the track must be maintained in strict absolute base every ten meters with reference to the posts supporting the catenary;
- have in the same workflow a digital record of the work done;

Pour parvenir à ces résultats, l'invention propose un procédé qui repose sur l'utilisation d'une batterie d'appareils de mesure capables de poursuivre une cible mouvante en calculant instantanément sa position topographique et de transmettre à une station de calcul des signaux numérisés caractéristiques de cette position topographique, cette batterie d'appareils formant une chaíne fonctionnant comme une noria au fur et à mesure du déplacement de la bourreuse sur la voie en cours d'entretien.To achieve these results, the invention proposes a method based on the use of a battery of measuring devices capable of tracking a target moving by instantly calculating its topographic position and transmitting to a station for calculating digitized signals characteristic of this topographic position, this battery of devices forming a chain running like a noria as and when measuring the movement of the tamper on the track being serviced.
La prise de références topographiques selon trois axes XYZ à l'aide de théodolites à faisceau laser pointant une mire est bien connue des géomètres. Il existe sur le marché des stations de ce type munies de moyens d'orientation motorisés et équipés d'émetteurs-récepteurs radio permettant de transmettre sous forme numérisée les données mesurées au théodolite à une unité de calcul.Taking topographic references along three XYZ axes using Laser theodolites pointing a target is well known to surveyors.

- les apparareils de mesure sont placés sur les poteaux caténaires de la piste bordant la voie à entretenir selon un pas de trois et sur les poteaux caténaires intermédiaires sont disposés des prismes nécessaires à l'acquisition par chaque station théodolite de sa position topographique de référence,

Le procédé de bourrage de voie ferrée selon l'invention met en oeuvre de façon avantageuse les opérations suivantes :
- le chantier est divisé en tronçons unitaires correspondant à un intervalle de trois poteaux caténaires, deux poteaux adjacents portant un prisme de référence et de mesure topographique et le troisième poteau portant une console amovible pour supporter une station théodolite automatisée,
- il est disposé sur les poteaux caténaires le long de la voie à travailler, six stations théodolites dans six tronçons unitaires contigus de telle sorte que chaque station soit séparée de ses voisines par deux poteaux caténaires portant chacun un prisme de référence,
- il est disposé sur la bourreuse deux prismes de référence et de mesure, l'un à l'avant, l'autre à l'arrière,
- avant l'arrivée de la bourreuse sur le chantier, les stations théodolites exécutent une procédure d'acquisition de leur position topographique de référence à l'aide des prismes disposés sur les poteaux caténaires intermédiaires puis sont mis en attente de l'arrivée de la bourreuse sur la voie à travailler,
- à l'entrée de la bourreuse (1) sur la voie à travailler un opérateur embarqué commande le calage de la première station théodolite sur le prisme arrière porté par la bourreuse et le calage de la deuxième station théodolite sur le prisme avant,
- les deux premières stations théodolites transmettent en continu les valeurs des coordonnées topographiques des prismes arrière et avant aux moyens de calcul embarqués sur la bourreuse, lesdits moyens de calcul produisent les coordonnées topographiques réelles de la voie et les adressent par une interface au système de bourrage assisté par ordinateur de la bourreuse,
- ces coordonnées sont comparées avec le modèle théorique de la voie préenregistré dans le système de bourrage assisté par ordinateur et les organes de bourrage de la bourreuse sont commandés en fonction de la différence entre ce modèle théorique et la position topographique réelle de la voie définie à partir des mesures des stations théodolites actives,
- les stations théodolites actives poursuivent les prismes arrière et avant jusqu'à l'approche de la fin du premier tronçon unitaire du chantier,
- l'opérateur embarqué commande alors le calage de la station théodolite suivante sur le prisme avant tout en maintenant le calage de la station théodolite précédente sur le même prisme avant,
- à l'arrivée de la bourreuse au droit du poteau caténaire portant la station théodolite précédente, l'opérateur embarqué commande le calage de ladite station théodolite sur le prisme arrière et désactive la première station théodolite,
- la première station théodolite est transportée et réinstallée sur un poteau caténaire en avant de la dernière station théodolite du tronçon unitaire en cours de travail, où elle est mise en attente après ré-acquisition de sa nouvelle position topographique de référence à l'aide des prismes portés par les poteaux caténaires adjacents,
- les étapes ci-dessus d'activation et de déplacement des stations théodolites se reproduisent continûment jusqu'à la fin du chantier au fur et à mesure de la progression de la bourreuse.
- the site is divided into unitary sections corresponding to an interval of three catenary poles, two adjacent posts carrying a reference prism and topographic measurement and the third post carrying a removable console to support an automated theodolite station,
- it is arranged on the catenary poles along the way to work, six theodolite stations in six contiguous unitary sections so that each station is separated from its neighbors by two catenary posts each carrying a reference prism,
- two reference and measuring prisms are arranged on the tamper, one at the front and the other at the rear,
- before the arrival of the tamper on the construction site, the theodolite stations perform a procedure of acquisition of their reference topographical position using the prisms arranged on the intermediate catenary poles then are put on hold of the arrival of the tamper on the way to work,
- at the entry of the tamper (1) on the working track an on-board operator controls the setting of the first theodolite station on the rear prism carried by the tamper and the setting of the second theodolite station on the front prism,
- the first two theodolite stations continuously transmit the values of the topographic coordinates of the front and back prisms to the calculation means on board the tamper, said calculation means produce the actual topographic coordinates of the track and address them by an interface to the assisted stuffing system by the computer of the tamper,
- these coordinates are compared with the theoretical model of the pre-recorded lane in the computer-assisted tamping system and the tamping devices of the tamper are controlled according to the difference between this theoretical model and the actual topographic position of the lane defined from measurements of active theodolite stations,
- the active theodolite stations continue the prisms behind and before until the approach of the end of the first unitary section of the site,
- the onboard operator then controls the setting of the next theodolite station on the prism before maintaining the setting of the previous theodolite station on the same prism before,
- at the arrival of the tamper at the catenary post bearing the previous theodolite station, the onboard operator controls the setting of said theodolite station on the rear prism and deactivates the first theodolite station,
- the first theodolite station is transported and reinstalled on a catenary pole in front of the last theodolite station of the unitary section during work, where it is put on hold after re-acquisition of its new reference topographic position using the prisms carried by adjacent catenary poles,
- the above steps of activation and relocation of the theodolite stations recur continuously until the end of the work site as the tamper progresses.
En variante ce procédé présente les caractéristiques avantageuses suivantes :
- lors du déplacement d'un station théodolite vers sa nouvelle position d'attente, les prismes disposés en arrière de la station considérée sont également déplacés et reposés sur les poteaux caténaires précédant celui où est réinstallée la station considérée,
- sur leurs poteaux caténaires respectifs, les stations théodolites sont déportées en direction de la voie, par rapport à la file de poteaux caténaires, d'une distance suffisante pour leur permettre de viser les prismes sur les poteaux caténaires adjacents avec une distance angulaire suffisante lors de la routine d'acquisition de leur nouvelle position topographique de référence.
- le déport de position d'une station théodolite par rapport au poteau caténaire qui le porte est de l'ordre de 30 à 35 cm tandis que le déport des prismes par rapport aux poteaux adjacents est de l'ordre de 6 cm.
- when moving a theodolite station to its new standby position, the prisms placed behind the station in question are also moved and rested on the catenary poles preceding the one where the station in question is reinstalled,
- on their respective catenary poles, the theodolite stations are deported towards the track, with respect to the line of catenary poles, of a sufficient distance to enable them to aim the prisms on the adjacent catenary poles with a sufficient angular distance during the acquisition routine of their new reference topographic position.
- the positional offset of a theodolite station relative to the catenary pole which carries it is of the order of 30 to 35 cm while the offset of the prisms relative to the adjacent posts is of the order of 6 cm.
L'invention permet la réalisation en une seule phase du travail fini par rapport au projet théorique, en effet le système positionne la voie en coordonnées XYZ avec une acquisition en continu des valeurs de correction selon un pas qui peut aller de 10 cm à 150 m et qui en pratique sera le plus souvent fixé à 10 m. Ainsi, les défauts de petite ou grande longueur d'onde peuvent être corrigés instantanément et l'enregistrement simultané du travail effectué autorise un contrôle et un guidage de la bourreuse en temps réel.The invention allows the realization in a single phase of the finished work compared to the theoretical project, indeed the system positions the channel in XYZ coordinates with a continuous acquisition of the correction values according to a step which can range from 10 cm to 150 m and which in practice will most often be fixed at 10 m. Thus, the defects of small or large wavelength can be corrected instantly and simultaneous recording of the work carried out allows control and guidance of the tamper in real time.
La prise en charge des stations s'effectue dès l'arrivée de la bourreuse sur le chantier, celle-ci devient immédiatement opérationnelle, la phase de pré-enregistrement de la voie est supprimée.The stations are taken over as soon as the tamping machine arrives on the site, it becomes immediately operational, the pre-registration phase the track is deleted.

Ils sont tous équipés de dispositifs permettant l'accrochage d'appareils divers en des points dont les coordonnées topographiques sont connues à l'avance et font partie des données du modèle théorique de la voie communiqué par l'entreprise exploitant la voie à l'entreprise de travaux ferroviaires chargée de l'opération d'entretien de la voie.Currently, catenary poles arranged along a railway electrified are spaced a distance of 50 meters.

La bourreuse 1 est en outre équipée de deux émetteurs-récepteurs d'ondes
radio, l'un R1 dédié à la réception des valeurs transmises par les stations théodolites
avant le travail, et l'autre R2 dédié à la réception des valeurs transmises par les
stations théodolites après le travail.The
Elle comporte également un équipement de traitement informatique qui comprend :
- une unité de calcul C1 recevant les données de l'émetteur-récepteur R1 qu'elle compare au projet théorique pour obtenir les valeurs de correction en relevage et en dressage et générer les instructions correspondantes par l'intermédiaire du système de bourrage assisté par ordinateur (BAO) qui commande les organes de travail de la machine,
- une unité de calcul C2 qui reçoit les données de l'émetteur-récepteur R2 qu'il compare au projet théorique pour obtenir si nécessaire les valeurs de correction en relevage et en dressage après le travail (recollement) ;
- une interface dédiée à la transition des valeurs de correction entre l'unité C1 et le système de (BAO) de la bourreuse 1.
- a calculation unit C1 receiving the data from the transceiver R1 which it compares to the theoretical project to obtain the correction values in lifting and training and generate the corresponding instructions via the computer-assisted tamping system ( BAO) which controls the working elements of the machine,
- a calculation unit C2 which receives the data of the transceiver R2 which it compares to the theoretical project to obtain if necessary the correction values in lifting and training after work (recollement);
- an interface dedicated to the transition of the correction values between the unit C1 and the system (BAO) of the
tamper 1.
Avantageusement, la bourreuse sera également équipée d'une imprimante pour l'édition sur papier des listages graphiques et numériques des valeurs enregistrées par les unités de calcul C1 et C2 avant et/ou après le travail. Elle pourra également comporter tout dispositif de stockage des données de travail sous un format pré-établi permettant la reprise ultérieure de ces données par d'autres logiciels.Advantageously, the tamper will also be equipped with a printer for the paper edition of the graphic and numerical listing of the values recorded by calculation units C1 and C2 before and / or after work. She will be able to also include any data storage device working under a pre-established format allowing the subsequent recovery of these data by other software.
Le long de la piste jouxtant la voie, les poteaux caténaires 4 disposés avec un
intervalle de 50 mètres recevront, par groupes de trois, deux prismes 5 de référence
et de mesure identiques aux prismes P1 et P2 portés par la bourreuse 1 (prismes
360°) et une station théodolite robotisée 7 comportant un système de localisation
automatique, un système de reconnaissance automatique de cible et un émetteur-récepteur
capable de transmettre sous forme numérisée les signaux représentatifs des
coordonnées topographiques calculées par l'appareil et de recevoir les commandes de
visée en provenance du poste de commande embarqué sur la bourreuse 1. Pour éviter
tout risque d'interférence, chaque station dispose d'une fréquence séparée. Les
prismes 5 sont installés sur des supports fixes 6, tandis que les stations 7 sont posées
sur des consoles amovibles 8 fixées provisoirement aux poteaux 4 par des moyens
d'attache rapide (Figure 2).Along the track adjoining the track, the catenary posts 4 arranged with a
interval of 50 meters will receive, in groups of three, two
Typiquement, les stations 7.1, 7.2, 7.3..... 7.n sont donc espacées de 150
mètres les unes des autres et les deux poteaux intermédiaires 4 portent les prismes 5
(Figure 3). Le dispositif complet comportera de manière idéale six stations 7.1 à 7.n
sur un tronçon de voie de 900 m correspondant à une durée de travail d'une heure. Typically, the stations 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 ..... 7.n are therefore spaced 150
meters from each other and the two
Comme indiqué plus haut, dès l'interception de la voie à traiter, un opérateur
installe les prismes 5 et les stations 7.1 à 7.n sur les poteaux caténaires avant l'arrivée
de la bourreuse 1 au début du chantier. Les six stations 7.1 à 7.n sont initialisées par
une routine automatique au cours de laquelle elles acquièrent les coordonnées
topographiques de leur position par visées successives d'au moins trois des quatre
prismes 5 immédiatement adjacents à chaque station. Une fois cette position de
référence acquise et mémorisée, la station est mise en attente de la bourreuse 1.As indicated above, as soon as the path to be treated is intercepted, an operator
install
A l'arrivée de celle-ci, l'opérateur embarqué syntonise les fréquences radios
de sorte que la première station 7.1 soit calée sur le prisme arrière P2 et la seconde
station 7.2 soit calée sur le prisme avant P1 (figure 4). Une fois calée, chaque station
poursuit le prisme P1 et P2 auquel elle est associée tout au long de l'avancement de la
bourreuse 1 et transmet en continu les coordonnées topographiques dudit prisme à
l'unité de calcul correspondante C1 ou C2 embarquée sur la bourreuse.At the arrival of this one, the on-board operator tunes the radio frequencies
so that the first station 7.1 is wedged on the rear prism P2 and the second
station 7.2 is wedged on the prism before P1 (Figure 4). Once set, each station
pursues the P1 and P2 prism with which it is associated throughout the progress of the
tamping
Ces valeurs après leur traitement par les unités de calcul C1 et C2 permettent à l'opérateur embarqué de choisir le pas de correction adressé au système de BAO : par exemple acquisition d'une valeur tous les 10 centimètres et transmission au système BAO tous les 10 mètres, ce qui permet d'effectuer des filtrages pour éviter des incohérences de valeurs entre deux points espacés de 10 mètres.These values after their treatment by calculation units C1 and C2 allow the onboard operator to choose the correction step addressed to the BAO system: for example acquisition of a value every 10 centimeters and transmission to BAO system every 10 meters, allowing filtering to avoid inconsistencies in values between two points spaced 10 meters apart.
La combinaison d'une mesure relevée à l'avant de la bourreuse 1 avec une
mesure relevée à l'arrière de celle-ci permet de réaliser un recollement instantané du
travail effectué et de corriger immédiatement toute dérive constatée entre deux
poteaux caténaires.The combination of a measurement taken from the front of the
Lorsque la bourreuse parvient à proximité de la station 7.2, l'opérateur
embarqué cale la station suivante 7.3 sur le prisme avant P1 de sorte qu'il obtient
pendant cette phase de transition une superposition des valeurs émises par les
stations 7.2 et 7.3 et donc un contrôle du relais entre ces stations. En pratique cette
superposition sera mise en oeuvre environ 30 mètres avant l'arrivée de la bourreuse
au droit du poteau 4 qui porte la station 7.2 (Figures 5 et 6).When the tamper arrives near station 7.2, the operator
boarded shims the next station 7.3 on the prism before P1 so it gets
during this transition phase a superposition of the values issued by the
stations 7.2 and 7.3 and therefore a relay control between these stations. In practice this
superposition will be implemented approximately 30 meters before the arrival of the tamper
at the right of the
Lorsque la bourreuse 1 est parvenue au droit du poteau qui porte la station
7.2, l'opérateur cale cette dernière sur le prisme arrière P2 et coupe la réception de la
station 7.1. Cette dernière est alors désactivée par un opérateur circulant à proximité
de la piste et transportée par ce dernier à l'avant de la chaíne ou elle est remise en
attente après avoir exécuté la routine d'acquisition de sa nouvelle position
topographique de référence.When the
Le cycle se reproduit comme une noria sur toute la longueur du chantier.The cycle is like a noria throughout the length of the yard.
Le système permet une prise en charge continue des valeurs (dix prises par seconde pour une vitesse d'avancement de 900 mètres par heure soit une acquisition de 400 valeurs pour 1 valeur en sortie tous les 10 mètres).The system allows for continuous support of values (ten taken by second for a forward speed of 900 meters per hour or an acquisition 400 values for 1 output value every 10 meters).
Une noria à six stations procure une grande souplesse d'utilisation avec une relative indifférence aux pannes. En effet, l'opérateur qui est chargé de déplacer les stations de l'arrière vers l'avant dispose en moyenne d'environ 50 minutes pour effectuer les 750 mètres qui le séparent de la position suivante de la station qu'il déplace. Ainsi en cas de panne, d'une station une noria à seulement cinq, voire quatre stations n'affectera pas le rendement du système. En théorie, le nombre minimal des stations pour qu'une noria puisse fonctionner est de trois. En effet compte-tenu d'une vitesse d'avancement de la bourreuse de l'ordre de 5 m/mn, l'opérateur de piste dispose encore d'environ 20 minutes pour effectuer un déplacement de 300 mètres. Cependant, avec une noria à trois stations, tout incident de fonctionnement d'une station entraínera l'arrêt de la progression du chantier.A six-station noria provides great flexibility of use with a relative indifference to breakdowns. Indeed, the operator who is responsible for moving the stations from the back to the front has an average of about 50 minutes to make the 750 meters that separate it from the next position of the station it moves. So in case of failure, from a station a noria to only five or even four stations will not affect system performance. In theory, the minimum number of stations for one noria to work is three. Indeed, given a speed of the tamping machine of the order of 5 m / min, the runway operator still has about 20 minutes to make a displacement of 300 meters. However, with a three-station noria, any operational incident of a station will cause stopping the progress of the site.
Le système procure également l'avantage de permettre à tout le personnel affecté au chantier de rester en dehors de la zone dangereuse pendant toute la durée du chantier. En effet, le personnel de piste n'a à se déplacer qu'au niveau des poteaux caténaires pour gérer la rotation des stations, il n'a jamais à se trouver à proximité immédiate de la bourreuse en travail.The system also provides the benefit of allowing all staff assigned to the yard to stay out of the danger zone for the duration of the building site. In fact, the runway personnel only have to move at the posts catenaries to manage the rotation of stations, it never has to be near immediate of the tamper in work.
