Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for securing railway lines against collisions of trains with other trains or with other obstacles according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a system for the display and control of moving objects is known from European published patent application EP-A 0 509 775.
- the moving objects contain a GPS receiver (Global Positioning System - receiver), with the help of which they determine their location. They also contain a transmitter with which the location data are transmitted to a central control. In this central control, the position data of the individual moving objects are processed and displayed on a display unit together with a map of the area in question.
- GPS receiver Global Positioning System - receiver
- the disadvantage of the known arrangements is in particular that the information is only passed on in one direction, so that there is no efficient prevention of collisions.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an arrangement in which a collision on railway lines can be reliably prevented.
- the trains or potential obstacles are equipped with GPS receivers, each of which is connected to a radio station.
- the radio stations cyclically send out location information, which is obtained from the GPS signal, and identification signals.
- the identification signals contain information about the type of transmission station, for example fast train, local train or construction crew.
- the identification signal can also contain information about the speed of the train, the anticipated braking distance or the track used, etc.
- the radio stations are connected to evaluation units which, when receiving the location information of another radio station, show the distance to their own Determine your location and, if the distance falls below a specified minimum, issue a warning signal and / or call up a warning strategy automatically.
- the warning signal can be an acoustic or visual warning display.
- the warning strategy can consist, for example, of lowering the speed of the train and simultaneously actuating an optical or acoustic warning.
- the arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the individual radio stations are connected bidirectionally to one another, so that all the stations involved receive a danger message.
- a construction crew is warned of an approaching train by an acoustic signal, and at the same time a reference is made to the construction crew on the train.
- Another advantage of the invention is that both the location determination of the individual stations, the sending and receiving of the location information and the output of warning signals or the initiation of a warning strategy is carried out automatically, and errors due to human error are largely excluded.
- the minimum distance, below which an alarm signal is output is specified as a function of the transmitted identification signals. For example, this distance can be less if a train approaches a stationary obstacle than if two trains approach each other on the same track.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the radio stations transmit on a single frequency. In this way it is achieved that the transmitter and receiver of the overall arrangement need not be designed to be tunable to several frequencies.
- a field strength detection circuit can be used, for example, to determine whether a radio message is being received.
- a station is assigned to a construction team, for example, it is advantageous to provide further radio devices which are carried by the individual members of a construction team and which can receive a warning signal output by the station.
- electronic route transmitters are provided on route sections on which no GPS signals can be received, which enable the location of a station to be calculated even without a GPS signal. In this way, location determinations can also be made in tunnels in which GPS signals cannot be received, so that radio stations located there can also transmit location data.
- the current position can also be determined in such a way that position sensors are included in the evaluation unit, for example, which determine the current location data on the basis of the last GPS position determined. For example, the speed of the train can be used to determine the current location data. To increase the accuracy, changes in direction can, for example, be recorded and entered using a compass and thus be included in the determination of the current location.
- At least one interface is also provided for entering data, in particular identification data, via an external keyboard, a computer or the like.
- This figure shows an arrangement with two stations 1 and 10.
- the individual stations consist of a GPS receiver 2, 12, which is connected to a radio station 3, 13.
- the radio station is designed to send and receive messages.
- Stations 1 and 10 each further contain an evaluation unit 4, 14, which is connected to a warning signal generator 5, 15.
- the station radios 16, 17 and 18 are also assigned, which are designed to receive messages from the radio station 13.
- the GPS receivers 2, 12 receive data via antennas, not shown in the figure, with which they can determine the location in a known manner with relatively high accuracy.
- This position data is sent to the evaluation unit 4, 14 and the radio station 3, 13.
- the radio station 3, 13 sends the location information obtained in the GPS receiver 2, 12 to the other radio stations at predetermined cyclical intervals and also receives the signals which are transmitted cyclically by other radio stations and are passed on to the evaluation unit 4, 14.
- the received location data of other stations are compared with their own and the distance from the other station or stations is determined. If this distance falls below a predetermined limit value, a warning signal is issued or a warning strategy is initiated, which can be specified differently from station to station.
- a station that is arranged in a train can provide in its warning strategy that the train driver is made aware of the situation by an acoustic warning signal and that at the same time the speed of the train is reduced.
- an acoustic warning signal can also be output and an additional warning message can be automatically sent to the various handheld radios 16, 17, 18. In this way, each member of a construction team can be made aware of the danger.
- a predetermined status message can, for example, be assigned to a specific operating button. For example, after being warned of an approaching train and causing the danger zone to be cleared, the site manager can send a status message stating that the tracks are clear. A warning strategy that has already been initiated can then be aborted on the receiving train or it is not initiated at all.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Sicherung von Bahnstrecken gegen Kollisionen von Zügen mit anderen Zügen oder mit sonstigen Hindernissen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an arrangement for securing railway lines against collisions of trains with other trains or with other obstacles according to the preamble of
Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit von Bahnstrecken ist es notwendig, neben den bereits existierenden Sicherheitsvorrichtungen an besonders gefährdeten Stellen, beispielsweise Bahnübergängen oder Bahnhöfen, weitere Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu treffen, die ihre Wirkung auf der gesamten Strecke entfalten können.To increase the safety of rail routes, it is necessary to take additional safety precautions in addition to the existing safety devices at particularly vulnerable points, for example level crossings or train stations, which can have an effect on the entire route.
Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird hierbei auf die Kollisionsüberwachung gelegt, da Kollisionen von Zügen mit anderen Zügen oder mit sonstigen Hindernissen in aller Regel mit Personenschäden und hohen Sachschäden verbunden sind.
Insbesondere die Absicherung von Bautrupps auf Bahnstrecken stellt immer wieder ein Problem dar, da die bekannten Sicherheitsvorkehrungen infolge menschlichen Versagens häufig nicht greifen.Particular attention is paid to collision monitoring, since collisions of trains with other trains or with other obstacles are usually associated with personal injury and high property damage.
Securing construction crews on railway lines in particular is always a problem, since the known safety precautions due to human error often fail.
Aus diesen Gründen wird bei der Sicherung von Bahnstrecken nach Möglichkeiten gesucht, eine automatische Kollisionsüberwachung zu realisieren.For these reasons, ways of realizing automatic collision monitoring are being sought when securing railway lines.
Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE-A 39 15 466 ist ein Verfahren zur Aufnahme und Durchführung eines geregelten Funkbetriebes zur Kollisionsverhinderung zwischen Fahrzeugen bekannt, bei dem sich die beiteiligten Fahrzeuge zu erkennen geben, indem sie wiederholt Signale aussenden. Der Abstand der Fahrzeuge zueinander wird ermittelt, indem im nachfolgenden Fahrzeug die Empfangsfeldstärke des von einem vorausfahrenden Fahrzeug ausgesendeten Signales gemessen wird oder es werden jeweils vom vorausfahrenden Fahrzeug Standortdaten übermittelt, die mit den eigenen verglichen werden.
Aus dem Vergleich des Abstandes der Fahrzeuge und der Geschwindigkeiten wird die Höchtgeschwindigkeit des nachfolgenden Fahrzeuges ermittelt.From the German laid-open specification DE-A 39 15 466 a method for recording and carrying out a regulated radio operation for preventing collisions between vehicles is known, in which the involved vehicles reveal themselves by repeatedly sending signals. The distance of the vehicles from one another is determined by measuring the reception field strength of the signal emitted by a preceding vehicle in the following vehicle, or location data is transmitted from the preceding vehicle, which are compared with one's own.
The top speed of the following vehicle is determined by comparing the distance between the vehicles and the speeds.
Aus der europäischen Offenlegungsschrift EP-A 0 509 775 ist ein System zur Anzeige und Steuerung für bewegliche Objekte bekannt. Bei diesem System enthalten die beweglichen Objekte einen GPS-Empfänger (Global Positioning System - Empfänger), mit dessen Hilfe sie ihren Standort feststellen. Sie enthalten weiterhin einen Sender, mit dem die Standortdaten an eine zentrale Steuerung übermittelt werden. In dieser zentralen Steuerung werden die Positionsdaten der einzelnen beweglichen Objekte verarbeitet und zusammen mit einer Landkarte des betreffenden Gebietes auf einer Anzeigeeinheit dargestellt.A system for the display and control of moving objects is known from European published patent application EP-A 0 509 775. In this system, the moving objects contain a GPS receiver (Global Positioning System - receiver), with the help of which they determine their location. They also contain a transmitter with which the location data are transmitted to a central control. In this central control, the position data of the individual moving objects are processed and displayed on a display unit together with a map of the area in question.
Der Nachteil der bekannten Anordnungen besteht insbesondere darin, daß jeweils die Informationen nur in einer Richtung weitergegeben werden, so daß eine effiziente Verhinderung von Kollisionen nicht gegeben ist.The disadvantage of the known arrangements is in particular that the information is only passed on in one direction, so that there is no efficient prevention of collisions.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, eine Anordnung anzugeben, bei der eine Kollision auf Bahnstrecken sicher verhindert werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to provide an arrangement in which a collision on railway lines can be reliably prevented.
Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1 durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved on the basis of the features of the preamble of
Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Züge oder potentielle Hindernisse mit GPS-Empfängern ausgestattet, die jeweils mit einer Funkstation verbunden sind. Die Funkstationen senden zyklisch Standortinformationen, die aus dem GPS-Signal gewonnen werden, und Identifikationssignale aus. Die Identifikationssignale enthalten Informationen über die Art der Sendestation, beispielsweise Eilzug, Nahverkehrszug oder Bautrupp. Es können weiterhin Informationen über die Geschwindigkeit des Zuges, den voraussichtlichen Bremsweg oder das befahrene Gleis usw. im Identifikationssignal enthalten sein.According to the invention, the trains or potential obstacles are equipped with GPS receivers, each of which is connected to a radio station. The radio stations cyclically send out location information, which is obtained from the GPS signal, and identification signals. The identification signals contain information about the type of transmission station, for example fast train, local train or construction crew. The identification signal can also contain information about the speed of the train, the anticipated braking distance or the track used, etc.
Im weiteren sind die Funkstationen mit Auswerteeinheiten verbunden, die bei Empfang der Standortinformationen einer anderen Funkstation die Entfernung zum eigenen Standort bestimmen und bei Unterschreiten einer vorgegebenen Mindestentfernung ein Warnsignal ausgeben und/oder eine Warnstrategie automatisch abrufen.Furthermore, the radio stations are connected to evaluation units which, when receiving the location information of another radio station, show the distance to their own Determine your location and, if the distance falls below a specified minimum, issue a warning signal and / or call up a warning strategy automatically.
Das Warnsignal kann dabei eine akustische oder optische Warnanzeige sein. Die Warnstrategie kann beispielsweise in der Absenkung der Geschwindigkeit des Zuges und der gleichzeitigen Betätigung einer optischen oder akustischen Warnung bestehen.The warning signal can be an acoustic or visual warning display. The warning strategy can consist, for example, of lowering the speed of the train and simultaneously actuating an optical or acoustic warning.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung weist den Vorteil auf, daß die einzelnen Funkstationen bidirektional miteinander verbunden sind, so daß alle beiteiligten Stationen eine Gefahrenmeldung erhalten. So wird bei einer Anordnung gemäß der Erfindung beispielsweise ein Bautrupp durch ein akustisches Signal vor einem herannahenden Zug gewarnt und gleichzeitig erfolgt im Zug ein Hinweis auf den Bautrupp. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß sowohl die Standortbestimmung der einzelnen Stationen, das Senden und Empfangen der Standortinformationen sowie die Ausgabe von Warnsignalen bzw. die Initiierung einer Warnstrategie automatisch erfolgt und somit Fehler auf Grund von menschlichem Versagen weitgehend ausgeschlossen sind.The arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the individual radio stations are connected bidirectionally to one another, so that all the stations involved receive a danger message. In an arrangement according to the invention, for example, a construction crew is warned of an approaching train by an acoustic signal, and at the same time a reference is made to the construction crew on the train. Another advantage of the invention is that both the location determination of the individual stations, the sending and receiving of the location information and the output of warning signals or the initiation of a warning strategy is carried out automatically, and errors due to human error are largely excluded.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Mindestentfernung, bei deren Unterschreiten ein Alarmsignal ausgegeben wird, in Abhängigkeit von den übertragenden Identifikationssignalen vorgegeben. So kann beispielsweise diese Entfernung geringer sein, wenn ein Zug auf ein stehendes Hindernis zufährt als bei zwei auf dem gleichen Gleis aufeinander zufahrenden Zügen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the minimum distance, below which an alarm signal is output, is specified as a function of the transmitted identification signals. For example, this distance can be less if a train approaches a stationary obstacle than if two trains approach each other on the same track.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Funkstationen auf einer einzigen Frequenz senden. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, daß die Sender und Empfänger der Gesamtanordnung nicht auf mehrere Frequenzen abstimmbar ausgeführt sein müssen.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the radio stations transmit on a single frequency. In this way it is achieved that the transmitter and receiver of the overall arrangement need not be designed to be tunable to several frequencies.
Um sicherzustellen, daß nicht mehrere Funkstationen in einem Empfangsbereich gleichzeitig senden, ist es vorteilhaft, Sende-/Empfangszyklen vorzusehen, die eine Überlappung der Sendezeitpunkte zumindest weitestgehend ausschließen. Eine Überlappung der Sendezeitpunkte kann auch dadurch verhindert werden, daß die Funkstationen so ausgeführt sind, daß bei Eingehen einer Funkmeldung ein Absenden einer Meldung nicht möglich ist. Zur Festellung, ob gerade eine Funkmeldung eingeht, kann beispielsweise eine Feldstärkeerkennungsschaltung eingesetzt werden.In order to ensure that not several radio stations transmit in a reception area at the same time, it is advantageous to provide transmission / reception cycles which at least largely exclude an overlap of the transmission times. An overlap of the transmission times can also be prevented in that the radio stations are designed in such a way that a message cannot be sent when a radio message arrives. A field strength detection circuit can be used, for example, to determine whether a radio message is being received.
Wenn eine Station beispielsweise einem Bautrupp zugewiesen ist, ist es vorteilhaft, weitere Funkgeräte vorzusehen, die von den einzelnen Mitgliedern eines Bautrupps getragen werden und die ein von der Station ausgegebenes Warnsignal empfangen können.If a station is assigned to a construction team, for example, it is advantageous to provide further radio devices which are carried by the individual members of a construction team and which can receive a warning signal output by the station.
Im weiteren hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die einzelnen Funkstationen so auszuführen, daß Statusmeldungen abgesendet werden können, die von den übrigen Stationen empfangen werden können. Diese Statusmeldungen können beispielsweise angeben, daß ein Bautrupp die Gleise verlassen hat, eine Verminderung der Geschwindigkeit eines heranfahrenden Zuges also nicht notwendig ist.Furthermore, it has proven to be advantageous to design the individual radio stations in such a way that status messages can be sent which can be received by the other stations. These status messages can indicate, for example, that a construction crew has left the tracks, so it is not necessary to reduce the speed of an approaching train.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgesehen, daß auf Streckenabschnitten, auf denen keine GPS-Signale empfangen werden können, elektronische Weggeber angeordnet werden, die die Berechnung des Standortes einer Station auch ohne GPS-Signal ermöglichen. Auf diese Weise können auch in Tunnels, in denen GPS-Signale nicht empfangbar sind, Standortbestimmungen erfolgen, so daß auch dort befindliche Funkstationen Standortdaten absenden können.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that electronic route transmitters are provided on route sections on which no GPS signals can be received, which enable the location of a station to be calculated even without a GPS signal. In this way, location determinations can also be made in tunnels in which GPS signals cannot be received, so that radio stations located there can also transmit location data.
Die aktuelle Position kann auch in der Weise bestimmt werden, daß Positionsgeber beispielsweise in der Auswerteeinheit enthalten sind, die auf Grund der letzten ermittelten GPS-Position die aktuellen Standortdaten ermitteln. Zur Ermittlung der aktuellen Standortdaten kann beispielsweise die Geschwindigkeit des Zuges herangezogen werden. Zur Erhöhung der Genauigkeit können weiterhin z B. Richtungsänderungen mittels eines Kompasses erfaßt und eingegeben werden und somit in die Bestimmung des aktuellen Standortes eingehen.The current position can also be determined in such a way that position sensors are included in the evaluation unit, for example, which determine the current location data on the basis of the last GPS position determined. For example, the speed of the train can be used to determine the current location data. To increase the accuracy, changes in direction can, for example, be recorded and entered using a compass and thus be included in the determination of the current location.
Zur Eingabe von Daten, insbesondere von Identifikationsdaten über eine externe Tastatur, einen Computer oder ähnlichem ist weiterhin mindestens eine Schnittstelle vorgesehen.At least one interface is also provided for entering data, in particular identification data, via an external keyboard, a computer or the like.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand der Figur beschrieben.
Diese Figur zeigt eine Anordnung mit zwei Stationen 1 und 10. Die einzelnen Stationen bestehen aus einem GPS-Empfänger 2, 12, der mit einer Funkstation 3, 13 verbunden ist. Die Funkstation ist zum Senden und zum Empfang von Meldungen ausgelegt.The invention is described below with reference to the figure.
This figure shows an arrangement with two
Die Stationen 1 und 10 enthalten weiterhin jeweils eine Auswerteeinheit 4, 14, die mit einem Warnsignalgeber 5,15 verbunden ist.
Der Station 10 sind weiterhin die Betriebsfunkgeräte 16, 17 und 18 zugeordnet, die zum Empfang von Meldungen der Funkstation 13 ausgelegt sind.The
Die GPS-Empfänger 2, 12 erhalten über in der Figur nicht dargestellte Antennen Daten, mit denen sie in bekannter Weise den Standort mit relativ hoher Genauigkeit bestimmen können. Diese Positionsdaten werden an die Auswerteeinheit 4, 14 und die Funkstation 3, 13 gegeben. Die Funkstation 3, 13 sendet die im GPS-Empfänger 2, 12 gewonnenen Standortinformationen in vorgegebenen zyklischen Abständen an die übrigen Funkstationen und empfängt ebenso die von anderen Funkstationen zyklisch ausgesendeten Signale, die an die Auswerteeinheit 4, 14 weitergeben werden.
In der Auswerteeinheit 4, 14 werden die empfangenen Standortdaten anderer Stationen mit den eigenen verglichen und daraus der Abstand zu der oder den anderen Stationen ermittelt. Unterschreitet dieser Abstand einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert, wird ein Warnsignal ausgegeben oder es wird eine Warnstrategie eingeleitet, die von Station zu Station unterschiedlich vorgegeben werden kann.
So kann beispielsweise eine Station, die in einem Zug angeordnet ist in ihrer Warnstrategie vorsehen, daß der Zugführer durch ein akustische Warnsignal auf die Situation aufmerksam gemacht wird und daß gleichzeitig die Geschwindigkeit des Zuges vermindert wird.The
In the
For example, a station that is arranged in a train can provide in its warning strategy that the train driver is made aware of the situation by an acoustic warning signal and that at the same time the speed of the train is reduced.
Ist die Station einem Bautrupp zugeordnet, kann ebenfalls ein akustisches Warnsignal ausgegeben werden und zusätzlich automatisch eine Warnmeldung an die verschiedenen Handfunkgeräte 16, 17, 18 abgesendet werden. Auf diese Weise kann jedes Mitglied eines Bautrupps auf die Gefahr aufmerksam gemacht werden.If the station is assigned to a construction team, an acoustic warning signal can also be output and an additional warning message can be automatically sent to the various
In dem Fall, daß die Funkstation so ausgeführt ist, daß Statusmeldungen abgesendet und empfangen werden können, kann beispielsweise einer bestimmten Bedienungstaste ein vorgegebene Statusmeldung zugeordnet sein. So kann beispielsweise der Bautruppleiter, nachdem er vor einem herannahenden Zug gewarnt wurde und die Räumung des Gefahrenbereiches veranlaßt hat eine Statusmeldung absenden, die besagt, daß die Gleise frei sind. Im empfangenden Zug kann daraufhin eine bereits eingeleitete Warnstrategie abgebrochen werden oder sie wird erst gar nicht eingeleitet.In the event that the radio station is designed in such a way that status messages can be sent and received, a predetermined status message can, for example, be assigned to a specific operating button. For example, after being warned of an approaching train and causing the danger zone to be cleared, the site manager can send a status message stating that the tracks are clear. A warning strategy that has already been initiated can then be aborted on the receiving train or it is not initiated at all.
