Description

Technical field

The proposed solution concerns the area of monitoring, control and management of traffic on traffic arteries at selected monitored objects, such as crossing of road and railway traffic routes. Background Art

Currently, two basic ways of crossing road and rail routes are being addressed. On the one hand, their direct construction solution by means of the so-called railway crossing, where the level road crosses the railway, and the construction of the grade-separated type. Nowadays, with regard to financial, time and other costs for the acquisition of second-type buildings, level crossings are clearly prevailing. These devices are labeled and secured according to applicable legislation. Depending on the way and the level of security, crossings are distinguished into crossings secured by simple information alerts, or without level crossing interlocking, and secured crossings that are equipped with different types of alerts, alarms or barriers. Despite this, these equipment is often a source of collision between road transport operators and rail transport operators with often very serious consequences. In the vast majority of cases, this is to disregard warning devices or to disobey signaling.

The task of the system of control and operation of selected monitored objects of transport routes is to improve the safety comfort at selected objects of level crossings by way of feedback and multistage solutions.

The essence of the technical solution

The above-mentioned disadvantages are solved by the system of control and operation of selected monitored objects of traffic routes, especially crossing of road and railway transport routes, consisting of sensing elements, evaluation elements and control elements, the principle of which is that the system includes camera and photographic devices located from the access roads to a railroad track track body on elevation holders, preferably columns or masts, further comprising a system of speed and distance sensors for approaching vehicles in multiple distance zones from the actual crossing and sensor sensors directly on the track superstructure, further comprising a signaling device for feeding information located directly on the track body at a specified distance from the crossing point, eg light traffic lights, all of which camera and photographic devices, sensor system the speeds and distances of the approaching vehicles, the body sensors on the track superstructure and the signaling device for the information on the track body are bi-directionally interconnected by the communication network with the central evaluation unit connected to the information means of the railway body manager, police and emergency services. It is preferred that the camera and photographic devices are for license plate or other designated minutiae.

The advantage of this system is the interconnection of the sequence of all emergencies that may occur, eg in the case of arbitrary and involuntary entry of a vehicle onto a railway body at a time when signaling does not allow this. The interconnection of the individual stages of the process is in the evaluation of the situation, in case of a possible problematic occurrence a subsequent warning of both the moving train and the alert of the emergency services, but also in case of non-collision situation allowing registration of the vehicle committing an offense, evaluation of social danger and provision of documents for deduction driver's responsibility. Not an insignificant advantage is the saving of funds when they are spent on the construction of grade-separated bypasses or crossings, which, due to their number, is not only very costly and long-term, but also demanding for example on administrative work in dealing with land ownership, etc. Examples a technical solution

The system of control and operation of selected tracked objects of traffic routes composed of sensing elements, evaluation elements and control elements, especially in the case of road intersections and that of road railways, includes camera and photographic devices located from the access roads to the railroad track track on height holders, preferably pillars or masts, further comprising a system of speed and distance sensors for approaching vehicles in multiple distance zones from the actual crossing and sensor body directly on the track superstructure, further comprising a signaling device for providing information located directly on the track bodies at a specified distance from the point of crossing, such as traffic lights, all of which camera and photographic devices, the speed sensor system and the distance approaching the sounders, body sensors on the track superstructure and the signaling device for the information on the rail body are connected in both directions by a communication network with a central evaluation unit connected to the information means of the railway body manager, police and rescue services. The central evaluation unit is equipped with all databases of topographic and information on the state of the roads (eg on the bypass routes or other obstacles on the roads), as well as information from the meteorological sensors (evaluation of the road condition from the point of view of road traffic).

A concrete example is the "classic" crossing of a normal two-track railway line with a road, that is, "crosswise". Sensing speed sensors and other vehicle parameters are located at a minimum of one distance at predetermined distances, in addition to the safety and security signals and road markings used (road markings on road signs, barriers, audible signals, etc.). these values are sent to the central evaluation unit, and there is a camera and photographic system directly in the crossing area, sensing the arriving vehicles and their identification marks, as well as a sensor evaluating the entry of the vehicle on the railway body when signaling a vehicle entry ban. All scanned quantities are processed in the central evaluation unit, which evaluates the situation, in case of collision avoidance it only sends the information to the police file with the violation data and provides the basis for the criminal liability. In the event that the situation is judged to be collision, eg in the event of a vehicle stopping on a railway body due to engine extinguishing or in the event of a high speed of an approaching vehicle at the time of train passing and thus a direct impact risk, the central evaluation unit shall primarily provide emergency services and, through both the signaling elements on the track and, for example, the radio links will make arrangements for stopping the train.

Industrial use

The device enables to check selected monitored objects of traffic routes, eg railway crossings and on the basis of set parameters evaluation of situation or status and eventual action to remove unwanted state, eg unauthorized entry on rail body.
