Description

BACKGROUND ART
Automatic emergency stop systems have the potential to be more reliable and to have a better response time than manual systems employing an operator situated at the machinery. Moreover, automatic emergency stop systems are essential in the case of fully automated driver-less machinery, such as those used in some light rapid-transit systems.
However, known automated emergency stop systems have not proved to be effective. For example, existing level crossing systems, utilizing floating boards resting on an array of micro-switches which trigger depending upon the weight incident thereon, are very costly to maintain and prone to false alarms such as those caused by a gradual build up of snow.
Other systems, relying upon light beams or microwaves, have been proposed for use as emergency stop systems for driver-less trains, but these systems in many cases must be turned off as the train approaches the station, or while the train is in the station, to prevent false alarms caused by the train itself and passengers entering and exiting the train. As a result, such light beam or microwave systems tend to be ineffective in preventing accidental deaths resulting, for example, from visually-impaired passengers mistaking the gaps between adjacent passenger cars for the open car doors. Prior art systems also tend to be relatively ineffective at distinguishing between intrusions caused by human beings and other objects.

Preferably, the contact plates preferably are supported on a coil springs which are fastened to the top angle support structures. Preferably, the coil springs are stainless steel inversed con shape coil. The contact plates are fixed in position which is only allowed for downward movement. The springs installed underneath the contact plates, is designed to have significant compression if the weight of object on the contact plate is greater than a predefined weight, such as 7kg. The predefined weight is defined based on research and testing on the object weight or human weight or formula calculation as mentioned in the present application.
When the contact plates are compressed down with a weight of more than the predefined minimum object weight or human weight, the noisy cable will pick up the frequency generated by the intruder and will transmit the frequency signal to the signal analyzer.
Preferably, the contact plate is designed to be able to support heavy loads, such that when the load is removed, the contact plate may not or will not exhibit or show signs of permanent deflection. Preferably, the contact plates to be installed between the running rails in the station platform areas may be provided with an adjustment mechanism, for both vertical and horizontal adjustment, to allow for future modifications and any necessary adjustment that may be required.
Preferably, the signal analyzer comprises of bandpass filtering, measuring and alarm generating means. The bandpass filter is designed to filter out a predefined frequency range, for example below 1 Hz and above 15 Hz or any other refined frequency range which is more accurately to define it is a human intrusion based on the final and actual set up on the particular platform. The predefined frequency is calculated based on research and testing of the system with or without human intrusion.
The measuring means comprise of a Schmitt trigger and pulse length separator. The filtered signal will then pass through a Schmitt trigger reacts to the value of the slope of the leading edge of incoming signal. If the slope is above the preselected value, Schmitt trigger triggers and remain latched. A pulse length separator is uses to measure the length of time that the Schmitt trigger remains latched. If the latching time is greater than a preset time, an alarm signal is generated by a pulse length separator. The pulse length separator is use to eliminate error signal reading cause by a high frequency spikes which is typically very short duration. It has been found that a latching time of about 0.25 second is a good compromise for many applications. However, the latching time period can be adjusted by an adjustable resistor, which is field adjustable to suit the particular application. Preferably, the alarm signal is then fed into an alarm generating means to produce an appropriate signal for driving relays which interface with SCADA, Automatic Train Control System and any other external system. Preferably, the noisy cable is mount in the glove on the contact plate. This is to minimize the exposure of the noisy cable to other mechanical system which may get damaged.
Preferably, the noisy cable will be connected to a RG59 coaxial cable before exiting the track area. The RG59 cable will then be extended to the equipment room to connect to the signal analyzer. This able to eliminate the error signal generation during the extension from the platform to the signal analyzer
The inversed con shape spring is use to replace the conventional resilient block, as the new and inventive spring design able to eliminate the object which is lighter than a predefined weight, such as 7kg from triggering the alarm
Preferably, the steel structure supporting means with adjustment mechanism ease the adjustment for contact plates leveling and position for an accurate and appropriate set up.
