Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren für zuggesteuerten Erlaubniswechsel bei
eingleisigem Bahnbetrieb mit schwachem oder mäßigem Verkehr, sowie eine
Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens gemäß dem Oberbegriff der
Patentansprüche 1 und 9.
Steuereinrichtungen für eingleisigen Bahnbetrieb sind wesentlicher Bestandteil von
Systemen des schienengebundenen Verkehrs. Kennzeichnend für die bekannten
Lösungen ist, daß die Steuereinrichtungen der an die eingleisige Strecke
angrenzenden Bahnhöfe / Ausweichstellen zur Prüfung der Vorbedingungen für
einen Erlaubniswechsel, Wechsel der zugelassenen Fahrtrichtung, miteinander über
Leitungen elektrisch verbunden sind. Eine wesentliche Vorbedingung im
Eisenbahnbetrieb ist, daß vor Zulassung einer Fahrt sich die Weichen in der
erforderlichen Lage befinden müssen und gegen Umstellen zu sichern sind
(Signalabhängigkeit), was üblicherweise durch die Stellwerkstechnik gewährleistet
wird.
Weiterhin ist zu sichern, daß sich in dem zu befahrenden Streckenabschnitt (Block)
keine Fahrzeuge befinden. Dazu sind eine Vielzahl von Lösungsvorschlägen
bekannt.
Die Gleisfreimeldung erfolgt dabei üblicherweise über Gleisstromkreise, in
zunehmendem Maße aber auch mittels Achszählern (DE-Zeitschrift:
Eisenbahningenieur, 1988, H. 8 S. 370; Uebel: Signaltechnik für SMV-Strecken)
bzw. durch andere Zählvorrichtungen, die auch die einfahrenden und die
ausfahrenden Züge selbst zählen, wie beispielsweise in der DE-PS 909 464
beschrieben.
Eine weitere Methode der Streckensicherung, insbesondere von eingleisigen
Strecken ist in der WO 91/12163 beschrieben. Hier wird eine Signalanlage
vorgeschlagen, bei der jeweils an den Blockgrenzen zwei ein Schienenfahrzeug
erfassende, ein Paar bildende Geber angeordnet sind, die mit den Eingängen einer
Flip-Flop-Schaltung verbunden sind, durch die in geeigneter Weise Zählimpulse
derart ausgewertet werden, daß eine Kollision im eingleisigen Abschnitt verhindert
werden kann. The invention relates to a method for train-controlled permission changes in single-track railway operation with light or moderate traffic, and a device for carrying out the method according to the preamble of
Control devices for single-track rail operations are an integral part of rail-bound traffic systems. It is characteristic of the known solutions that the control devices of the train stations / alternative stations adjoining the single-track line for checking the preconditions for a change of permit, change of the approved direction of travel are electrically connected to one another via lines. An essential prerequisite in railway operations is that the points must be in the required position before a journey is approved and must be secured against changeover (signal dependency), which is usually guaranteed by the signal box technology.
It must also be ensured that there are no vehicles in the section of the route to be traveled (block). A large number of proposed solutions for this are known.
The track vacancy detection usually takes place via track circuits, but increasingly also with axle counters (DE-Zeitschrift: Eisenbahningenieur, 1988, H. 8 p. 370; Uebel: signaling technology for SMV lines) or by other counting devices that also detect the incoming and the departing trains themselves, as described for example in DE-PS 909 464.
Another method of securing routes, in particular of single-track routes, is described in WO 91/12163. Here, a signal system is proposed, in which two block sensors detecting a rail vehicle and forming a pair are arranged at the block boundaries, which are connected to the inputs of a flip-flop circuit, by means of which counting pulses are evaluated in a suitable manner such that a collision can be prevented in the single-track section.
Zur Feststellung, ob ein zu befahrender Streckenabschnitt frei ist, wird in der EP 0 076 672 ein Sicherungssystem beschrieben, bei dem einem Fahrzeug beim Einfahren in einen Streckenabschnitt ein elektronisches Kennzeichen übergeben wird, welches durch das Fahrzeug bei Verlassen des Streckenabschnittes wieder zurückgegeben wird. Die Kennzeichenvergabe und -rückgabe kann durch den Einsatz von schienenmontierten Transpondern automatisiert werden. Eine weit verbreitete Methode der Streckensicherung besteht darin, daß die Weichensteuerung bzw. die Fahrwegeinstellung vom Stellwerk aus erfolgt (DE 32 19 366). Die Kommandos an die Weichenantriebe werden vom Stellwerk aus signaltechnisch sicher übertragen, wobei die dazugehörenden Gleis-Frei-Meldungen berücksichtigt werden und eine Stell-Zustandsmeldung der Weiche, ebenfalls signaltechnisch sicher, an das Stellwerk übertragen wird.To determine whether a section of the route to be traveled is free, the EP 0 076 672 describes a security system in which a vehicle is Pass an electronic license plate into a section of the route which is caused by the vehicle when leaving the route section again is returned. License plates can be assigned and returned by the Use of rail-mounted transponders can be automated. A widespread method of route protection is that the Turnout control or route setting from the signal box (DE 32 19 366). The commands to the point machines are from the signal box transmitted safely in terms of signaling, with the associated track-free messages are taken into account and a control status message of the switch, also signal-safe, is transmitted to the signal box.
Auf Strecken der Eisenbahn mit schwachem oder mäßigem Verkehr wird auf Grund der hohen Ausrüstungs- und Instandhaltungskosten für die bekannten Systeme der Stellwerkstechnik und des Streckenblocks die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Schienenverkehrs zu anderen Verkehrsträgern erheblich eingeschränkt. Systeme des Nahverkehrs, die nicht den hohen Anforderungen der Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung unterliegen, müssen nur bedingt die Anforderungen der Signalabhängigkeit erfüllen. Unabhängig davon benötigen sie für die Überprüfung der anderen Vorbedingungen für den Erlaubniswechsel Verbindungen zwischen den Steuereinrichtungen der Ausweichstellen.On lines of the railway with light or moderate traffic is aground the high equipment and maintenance costs for the known systems of Signal box technology and the route block the competitiveness of the Rail traffic to other modes of transport considerably restricted. Systems of local transport, which do not meet the high requirements of the railway construction and Operational regulations are subject to the requirements of Fulfill signal dependency. Regardless, you need for the review of the other preconditions for the change of permit connections between the Control devices of the alternative locations.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung anzugeben, die es ermöglichen auf eingleisigen Strecken mit schwachem bzw. mäßigem Verkehr einen störungsfreien Zugbetrieb in beiden Richtungen ohne herkömmliche Stellwerkstechnik zu gewährleisten.The object of the invention is a method and a device to be specified, which make it possible on single-track routes with weak or moderate traffic a trouble-free train operation in both directions without to ensure conventional signal box technology.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das im Patentanspruch 1 angegebene Verfahren bzw. mit
der im Patentanspruch 9 beschriebenen Einrichtung gelöst. This object is achieved by the method specified in claim 1 or by
the device described in
Erfindungsgemäß wird durch das Verfahren für einfache Betriebsbedingungen mit gleichmäßiger Zugfolge ermöglicht, daß jeweils nach Ausfahrt eines ersten Zuges aus einem ersten Bahnhof bzw. Ausweichstelle die überfahrene Weiche umgestellt wird, um eine folgende Zugfahrt in der Gegenrichtung vorzubereiten. Nach Einfahrt in einen nächsten Bahnhof bzw. Ausweichstelle, nach Überfahren einer Weiche durch den ersten Zug, wird diese zweite Weiche ebenfalls umgestellt, wodurch eine Zugfahrt in der Gegenrichtung möglich wird und die Ausfahrt für den zweiten Zug freigegeben wird.According to the invention, the method for using simple operating conditions Even train order enables that after each exit of a first train from a first station or alternative, the switch that was run over was changed to prepare a subsequent train journey in the opposite direction. After entry to a next train station or alternative, after crossing a switch by the first move, this second switch is also changed over, resulting in a Train journey in the opposite direction becomes possible and the exit for the second train is released.
Durch ein entsprechendes Kommando, das
durch den Zugleiter bzw. den betreffenden
Triebfahrzeugführer an die
Steuereinrichtung gegeben wird, kann die zuggesteuerte Umstellung der Weichen
gesperrt werden, so daß mehrere Züge in der gleichen Richtung verkehren können,
bis die Sperrung aufgehoben wird.
Um eine Zugfahrt zu verhindern, sofern sich die Weichen nicht in der erforderlichen
Stellung befinden, können Streckeneinrichtungen einer Zugbeeinflussung
vorgesehen werden.The train-controlled changeover of the switches can be blocked by a corresponding command which is given to the control device by the train manager or the driver concerned, so that several trains can run in the same direction until the block is released.
In order to prevent a train journey if the switches are not in the required position, route devices can be provided to influence the train.
Die Umstellung der Weichen erfolgt durch Weichenantriebe, die durch die Steuereinrichtungen angesteuert werden. In der Auswerte- und Steuereinheit wird die Endlage der zugehörigen Weiche festgestellt und in Abhängigkeit vom Zustand der nachgeschalteten Freigabe- und Sperreinheit wird ein Steuersignal an die Weichenantriebe ausgegeben, sobald die Gleisschalteinrichtung das Verlassen der Ausweichstelle durch einen Zug in einer vorgegebenen Richtung signalisiert. Geht über die Funkeinheit eine Abforderung über die Weichenlage ein, wird durch eine Datenauswerte- und Datenaufbereitungseinheit eine entsprechende Information an die nachfolgende Datenein- und Datenausgabeeinheit gegeben, die diese zu einem Datentelegramm zusammenstellt und über die Funkeinheit aussendet. The changeover of the turnouts is done by turnout drives by the control devices can be controlled. In the evaluation and control unit, the End position of the associated switch determined and depending on the state of the downstream enable and disable unit is a control signal to the Point machines are issued as soon as the track switching device leaves the escape point by a train in a given direction signals. A request about the turnout position goes over the radio unit a, is a data evaluation and data processing unit corresponding information to the subsequent data input and output unit given, which compiles this into a data telegram and via the Sends radio unit.
Geht dagegen ein Datentelegramm für die Sperrung der Weiche an der Funkeinheit ein, so wird dieses, über die Datenein- und Datenausgabeeinheit, durch die Datenauswerte- und Datenaufbereitungseinheit aufbereitet und durch die nachgeschaltete Freigabe- und Sperreinheit eine Sperrung der Auswerte- und Steuereinheit bewirkt, so daß keine Umstellung der Weiche bewirkt werden kann bis die Sperrung aufgehoben wird. Die Energieversorgung wird durch eine Stromversorgungseinrichtung gewährleistet.On the other hand, there is a data telegram for blocking the turnout on the radio unit one, so this is, via the data input and output unit, by the Data evaluation and data processing unit prepared and by the downstream release and blocking unit blocking the evaluation and Control unit causes so that no changeover of the switch can be effected until the block is lifted. The energy supply is through a Power supply device guaranteed.
Damit keine Freigabe an unterschiedliche Züge erfolgt, solange die Weichenstellung dies zulassen würde, werden nach einer Abforderung der Weichenlage durch einen Zug, bei einer Abforderung durch einen weiteren Zug, keine Informationen durch die Datenauswerte- und Datenaufbereitungseinheit sowie die nachfolgende Datenein- und Datenausgabeeinheit beider Steuereinrichtungen, die als logische Einheit zusammenwirken, ausgegeben, die eine Fahrtfreigabe für den weiteren Zug ermöglichen würden.So that there is no release to different trains as long as the course is set this would allow, after a request for the switch location by a Train, if requested by another train, no information by the Data evaluation and data processing unit as well as the following data import and Data output unit of both control devices, which acts as a logical unit cooperate, issued a release for the further train would enable.
Weitere vorzugsweise Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are set out in the subclaims remove.
Die Erfindung soll anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden. In
den zugehörigen Zeichnungen sind dargestellt:
Das Verfahren wird anhand der Fig. 1 für zwei Bahnhöfe/Ausweichstellen A und B
und eine dazwischenliegende eingleisige Strecke verdeutlicht, auf der zwei Züge T1
und T2 verkehren. Verläßt der Zug T1 den ersten Bahnhof A in Richtung eines
zweiten Bahnhofs B, so erfaßt die Gleisschalteinrichtung 1.1, vorzugsweise ein
doppelter Achsindikator, ggf. überlagert durch einen kurzen Gleisstromkreis,
Richtung und Geschwindigkeit des Zuges T1 sowie das Freifahren der Weiche A2
und steuert richtungs- und geschwindigkeitsabhängig über die Auswerte- und
Steuereinheit 4 den elektrischen Weichenantrieb 2 an, sofern durch die Freigabe- und
Sperreinheit 5 keine Sperrung erfolgt. Die Weiche A2 wird umgestellt, so daß
ein Zug T2 in der Gegenrichtung in den Bahnhof A einfahren könnte. Ist der Zug T1
über die Weiche E1 in den Bahnhof B eingefahren und hat die
Gleisschalteinrichtung 1.3 dies signalisiert, wird analog zur Weiche A2 ebenfalls die
Weiche E1 umgestellt.The method is based on FIG. 1 for two stations / alternative stations A and B.
and an intermediate single-track line on which two trains T1
and T2 operate. The train T1 leaves the first station A in the direction of a
second station B, the track switching device 1.1, preferably detects one
double axis indicator, possibly overlaid by a short track circuit,
Direction and speed of train T1 as well as moving switch A2 clear
and controls direction and speed depending on the evaluation and
Auf Abforderung erhält der Zug T2 durch beide Steuereinrichtungen 3.1 und 3.2, die
als logische Einheit zusammenwirken und eine gemeinsame
Teilnehmeridentifikation in einem Kommunikationssystem, z. B. Mobilfunknetz,
haben, eine Fahrtfreigabe in Richtung A. Die abgeforderten Informationen der
beiden Steuereinrichtungen 3.1 und 3.2 werden somit immer gemeinsam mit einem
fest programmierten zeitlichen Versatz ausgegeben, so daß für den Abfordernden,
Zugleiter oder Triebfahrzeugführer,
eine einheitliche Information mit beliebiger Verschlüsselung / Redundanz als Antwort
entsteht. Dabei könnte eine Antwort in fest programmierter Form beispielsweise
lauten:
Damit keine Fahrtfreigabe an den Zug T2 gegeben wird, nachdem der Zug T1 eine
Freigabe erhalten hat, aber noch nicht abgefahren ist, und die Weichenstellung der
Weichen A2 und E1 theoretisch (bei fehlerhafter Interpretation) eine Zugfahrt
gestatten würden, werden nach einer ersten Abfrage für eine fest programmierte
Zeitdauer keine weiteren Informationen durch die Datenauswerte- und
Datenaufbereitungseinheit sowie die nachfolgende Datenein- und
Datenausgabeeinheit beider Steuereinrichtungen, die als logische Einheit
zusammenwirken, ausgegeben, die eine Fahrtfreigabe für den Zug T2 ermöglichen
würden.
Die beiden Steuereinheiten 3.1 und 3.2, die an einen gemeinsamen eingleisigen
Streckenabschnitt angrenzen und als logische Einheit zusammenwirken haben in
dem Kommunikationsnetz das gleiche Teilnehmeridentfikationskennzeichen.
Damit eine Zugfahrt verhindert wird, sofern sich nicht alle erforderlichen Weichen in
der erforderlichen Stellung befinden, kann eine Streckeneinrichtung zur
Zugbeeinflussung mit der Steuereinrichtung verbunden sein. So that train T2 is not released after train T1 has received a release but has not yet left, and the setting of switches A2 and E1 would theoretically allow a train journey (if interpreted incorrectly), after a first query for a fixedly programmed period of time no further information is output by the data evaluation and data processing unit and the subsequent data input and data output unit of both control devices, which work together as a logical unit, which would enable the train T2 to be released for travel.
The two control units 3.1 and 3.2, which adjoin a common single-track section and interact as a logical unit, have the same subscriber identification identifier in the communication network.
In order to prevent a train journey, provided that not all of the required switches are in the required position, a route device for influencing the train can be connected to the control device.
In der Fig. 2 ist eine Ausführung der Einrichtung, bestehend aus
Gleisschalteinrichtungen 1, Weichenantrieben 2 und der Steuereinrichtung 3
dargestellt. Die Gleisschalteinrichtung 1, vorzugsweise ein doppelter Achsindikator,
ist derart an einer Weiche A2 angeordnet, daß er die Richtung und die
Geschwindigkeit eines Zuges T1 erfaßt und feststellt, daß die Weiche freigefahren
ist. Hat der Zug T1 den ersten Bahnhof A in Richtung des zweiten Bahnhofs B
verlassen, so meldet dies die entsprechende Gleisschalteinrichtung 1 an die
Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 4, die eine Ansteuerung des Weichenantriebs 2
bewirkt, sofern durch die Freigabe- und Sperreinheit 5 keine Sperrung erfolgt. Es
erfolgt eine Umstellung der Weiche A2. In analoger Weise wird die Weiche E1
umgestellt.
Wird über die Funkeinheit 8 eine Information über die Weichenlage abgefordert,
wird die durch die Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 4 ermittelte Weichenlage durch eine
nachgeordnete Datenauswerte- und Datenaufbereitungseinheit 6 mit weiteren Daten
zu einem Datentelegramm zusammengestellt und über eine Datenein- und
Datenausgabeeinheit 7 sowie über die Funkeinheit 8 ausgesendet.2 shows an embodiment of the device, consisting of track switching devices 1,
If information about the turnout position is requested via the
Geht dagegen ein Datentelegramm, von einem berechtigten Absender, für die
Sperrung der Weiche an der Funkeinheit 8 ein, so wird dieses über die Datenein- und
Datenausgabeeinheit 7, die Datenauswerte- und Datenaufbereitungseinheit 6
aufbereitet und durch die nachgeschaltete Freigabe- und Sperreinheit 5 eine
Sperrung der Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 4 bewirkt, so daß keine Umstellung der
Weiche erfolgen kann, bis die Sperrung aufgehoben wird.
Das Kommando über die Aufhebung der Sperrung ist nicht sicherheitsrelevant, ein
unzeitiger Empfang führt ggf. nur zu Betriebsbehinderungen.If, on the other hand, a data telegram is received from an authorized sender for blocking the switch on the
