Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung nach dem
Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device according to the
Preamble of
Eine solche Einrichtung ist beispielsweise aus Signal + Draht 84(1992)6, Seiten 158 bis 164 bekannt. Dort wird u. a. über die Eigenortung eines spurgeführten Fahrzeugs berichtet, das zur Ortungs- und/oder Informationsübertragung mit vorzugsweise mehreren Antennen an einen in der Fahrspur verlegten Linienleiter angekoppelt ist. Über die Fahrzeugantennen können beim Befahren der Linienleiterabschnitte von den Linienleitern ausgehende magnetische Felder empfangen werden, die durch in den Linienleiter eingespeiste Signal ströme erzeugt worden. Die Ortung geschieht dadurch, daß der Linienleiter in vorgegebenen Abständen mit Markierungsstellen versehen ist, bei deren Passieren sich das von der oder den Fahrzeugantennen detektierte Magnetfeld markant ändert. Wenn die Markierungsstellen in bekannter Weise durch Kreuzungsstellen von Linienleitern definiert sind, kehrt sich beim Passieren dieser Kreuzungsstellen die Phasenlage der Empfangsspannungen in den Fahrzeugantennen um, wodurch das Passieren einer Kreuzungsstelle für das Fahrzeug erkennbar wird. Das Fahrzeug erkennt das Passieren einer Kreuzungsstelle durch Vergleich der Phasenlage der Empfangsspannung im gerade befahrenen Abschnitt mit der Phasenlage der Empfangsspannung im zurückliegenden Abschnitt. Such a device is made of signal + wire, for example 84 (1992) 6, pages 158 to 164. There u. a. about the self-location of a track-guided vehicle reports that for location and / or information transmission with preferably several antennas to one laid in the lane Line conductor is coupled. Can via the vehicle antennas when driving on the line conductor sections from the line conductors outgoing magnetic fields are received that generated by signal currents fed into the line conductor been. The location happens because the line manager in is provided with marking points at predetermined intervals, when they pass this is from the vehicle antenna or antennas detected magnetic field changes significantly. If the markers in a known manner by crossing points of Line conductors are defined, reverses when passing them Intersection points the phase position of the received voltages in around the vehicle antennas, thereby passing an intersection becomes recognizable to the vehicle. The vehicle recognizes the passing of an intersection by comparison the phase position of the receiving voltage in the section just traveled with the phase position of the received voltage in the past Section.
In der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung (internes Aktenzeichen GR 96 P 4084 DE) wird über die Eigenortung eines Eisenbahnfahrzeugs berichtet, das über nur eine oder zwei in einer Ebene quer zum Gleis verlaufend angeordnete Fahrzeugantennen an einen Linienleiter angekoppelt ist. Hier ist das Fahrzeuggerät dazu eingerichtet, über einen Oszillator auf die Frequenz und Phasenlage des gerade befahrenen Abschnittes einzurasten und diese für den späteren Vergleich mit der dann gewechselten Phase im folgenden Abschnitt bereitzustellen.In the unpublished German patent application (internal file number GR 96 P 4084 DE) is about the self-location of a railway vehicle that reports only one or two arranged in a plane running across the track Vehicle antennas is coupled to a line conductor. Here the vehicle device is set up via a Oscillator on the frequency and phase position of the vehicle being driven on Section and snap this for later comparison with the then changed phase in the following section to provide.
Wenn ein Eisenbahnfahrzeug in einen mit einem Linienleiter ausgerüsteten Streckenbereich einfährt oder wenn die Ortungsfunktion auf dem Fahrzeug erst aktiviert wird, nachdem das Fahrzeug in den Linienleiter-Streckenabschnitt eingefahren ist, dann kann das Fahrzeug zwar das Passieren von Linienleitermarkierungen erkennen; es weiß aber häufig nicht konkret, welche Markierung es jeweils passiert hat und kann daher seinen Fahrort nicht zuverlässig bestimmen.If a railway vehicle gets into one with a line conductor equipped route area or when the location function is activated on the vehicle only after the Vehicle entered the line section of the line the vehicle can pass line markings detect; but it often doesn't know which marking it has passed and can therefore not reliably determine his driving location.

des Patentanspruches 1 so weiterzubilden, daß das
Fahrzeug die Möglichkeit erhält, nach dem Eindringen in einen
Linienleiter-Streckenbereich oder nach dem Aktivieren seiner

seinen jeweiligen Fahrort zuverlässig zu
bestimmen.The object of the invention is the device according to the preamble

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention Facility are specified in the subclaims.

Für einander entsprechende Einrichtungen sind in den Figuren die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet worden.Corresponding devices are in the figures the same reference numerals have been used.
Der dargestellte Streckenausschnitt wird aus den Schienen 1
und 2 eines Gleises gebildet. Im Gleis ist ein Linienleiter L
verlegt, der mit Markierungsstellen M z. B. in Form von
Linienleiterkreuzungsstellen versehen ist. Die Strecke wird
von einem Fahrzeug F befahren, das beim Befahren des Linienleiter-Streckenbereiches
über mindestens eine Sende- und/oder
Empfangsantenne A mit dem Linienleiter koppelt. Das Fahrzeug
kann ferner zur Informationsübertragung mit den Schienen 1
und 2 koppeln.The section of the route shown is made from the
Für eine optimale Fahrzeugsteuerung ist es erforderlich, daß das Fahrzeug Bescheid weiß über seinen jeweiligen Fahrort. Dies geschieht regelmäßig mittels Wegimpulsgebern, deren Ergebnisse aber schlupfbehaftet sind und daher nach einer gewissen Fahrstrecke zu Fehlergebnissen führen. Aus diesem Grunde ist es erforderlich, die fahrzeugseitigen Wegmeßeinrichtungen in gewissen Abständen auf die tatsächlichen Fahrorte zu synchronisieren. Dies kann z. B. unter Verwendung eines Linienleiters geschehen, der entweder nur zu Ortungszwecken vorgesehen ist oder zusätzlich auch zur Informationsübertragung zwischen Fahrzeug und Strecke. Durch Zählen der passierten Kreuzungsstellen weiß das Fahrzeug, an welcher Stelle innerhalb eines Linienleiter-Streckenbereiches es sich gerade befindet. Beim Erkennen einer Kreuzungsstelle synchronisiert das Fahrzeug seinen Wegimpulszähler und bestimmt fortan seinen Feinfahrort nach der augenblicklichen Position seines Wegimpulszählers; an der folgenden Linienleiterkreuzungsstelle wird der Wegimpulszähler wieder auf die dann aktuelle Position synchronisiert.For optimal vehicle control, it is necessary that the vehicle knows its location. This is done regularly by means of displacement sensors, whose Results are slippery and therefore after one lead to error results on a certain route. For this Basically, it is necessary to measure the vehicle on the vehicle periodically on the actual To synchronize driving locations. This can e.g. B. using done by a line manager, either for location purposes only is provided or in addition for the transmission of information between vehicle and route. By counting the The vehicle knows at any intersection where it passes Place it within a line section is currently located. Synchronized when it detects an intersection the vehicle determines its distance pulse counter henceforth its fine driving location according to the current position its path pulse counter; at the following line crossing point the path pulse counter is then back on the current position synchronized.
Voraussetzung für das Erkennen seines jeweiligen Fahrortes ist, daß das Fahrzeug weiß, welche Kreuzungsstelle es zuletzt passiert hat. Wenn auf dem Fahrzeug, wie in Figur 1 angenommen, die Ortungsfunktion an einem Fahrort a außerhalb des Linienleiter-Streckenbereiches aktiviert wird, dann mag das Fahrzeug über seinen Wegzähler zwar mehr oder weniger genau über seinen Fahrort Bescheid wissen; eine die Mißweisung des Wegzählers eliminierende Feinortung ist dort aber nicht möglich.Prerequisite for recognizing his respective driving location is that the vehicle knows which intersection it last happened. If on the vehicle, as assumed in Figure 1, the location function at a location a outside of Line conductor route area is activated, then like that Vehicle with its odometer more or less accurate know about his driving location; a the refusal of the But Wegzers eliminating fine location is not there possible.
Frühestens beim Passieren des Fahrortes b erkennt das Fahrzeug das Eindringen in den Linienleiter-Streckenbereich. Ob dieses Eindringen aber tatsächlich erkannt wird, ist fraglich, weil die Empfangsspannung am Fahrort b zwar einen Amplituden- aber keinen Phasensprung macht. Das Erkennen einer Linienleiterkreuzungsstelle schon beim Eindringen eines Fahrzeugs in einen Linienleiter-Streckenbereich ist vielfach davon abhängig, ob dort ein in Figur 1 schematisch angedeuteter Schienenverbinder SV vorhanden ist oder nicht. Das Fahrzeug reagiert dann gelegentlich auf den im Schienenverbinder fließenden Triebrückstrom wie auf einen Linienleiterstrom und erkennt durch Phasenänderung beim Eindringen in den Linienleiter-Streckenbereich das Passieren einer ersten Kreuzungsstelle, obgleich es diese tatsächlich erst sehr viel später passiert. Erst an der folgenden Markierungsstelle, am Fahrort c, ist das Passieren einer Kreuzungsstelle zuverlässig erkennbar. Wenn das Fahrzeug jedoch bereits beim Eindringen in den Linienleiter-Streckenbereich irrtümlich eine Markierung erkannt hat, wähnt es sich bereits am Fahrort c*, obgleich es sich tatsächlich am Fahrort c befindet.The vehicle detects at the earliest when it passes the driving location b penetration into the line section of the line. If this intrusion is actually recognized, is questionable because the receiving voltage at location b is indeed one Amplitude - but no phase jump. The cognition a line crossing point already when a Vehicle in a line route section is multiple depends on whether there is a schematically indicated in Figure 1 Rail connector SV is present or not. The vehicle then occasionally reacts to that in the rail connector flowing drive reverse current as on a line conductor current and recognizes by phase change when entering the line section passing a first crossing, although it actually took much later happens. Only at the following marking point, at the driving location c, passing an intersection is reliable recognizable. However, if the vehicle is already entering a mistake in the line section of the route has recognized, it already feels at the driving location c *, although it is actually located at location c.
Ganz ähnlich verhält es sich, wenn ein Fahrzeug F seine Ortungsfunktion erst aktiviert, während es einen Linienleiter-Streckenabschnitt befährt. In Figur 2 ist angenommen, daß dies - veranlaßt durch das Fahrzeug selbst oder eine strekkenseitige Anweisung - zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt geschieht, zu dem sich das Fahrzeug an dem ihm nicht bekannten Streckenpunkt d befindet. Zwar erkennt das Fahrzeug das Passieren der am Streckenpunkt e gelegenen folgenden Markierungsstelle zuverlässig; es weiß aber nicht, um welche Kreuzungsstelle es sich handelt und kann daher nicht mit der Eigenortung beginnen.The situation is very similar when a vehicle F has its Locating function only activated while there is a line section drives. In Figure 2 it is assumed that this - caused by the vehicle itself or a route-side Instruction - happens at any time to which the vehicle is known to him Waypoint d is located. The vehicle recognizes the passage the following marker at route point e reliable; but it does not know which crossing point it is and can therefore not with the Start localization.
Hier setzt die Erfindung ein. Nach der Lehre der Erfindung ist der zu Ortungszwecken im Gleis verlegte Linienleiter L außerhalb des Einflußbereiches eines etwaigen Schienenverbinders mit vom Fahrzeug F erkennbaren Markierungsstellen versehen, deren Abstand voneinander verschieden ist von dem üblicherweise vorhandenen Abstand der Markierungsstellen, vgl. Figur 3. Der Bereich dieser Markierungsstellen wird nachfolgend als Grobortungsstelle GO bezeichnet; seine relative oder absolute Lage im Gleis ist dem Fahrzeug bekannt. Das Fahrzeug beginnt grundsätzlich erst dann mit der Synchronisierung seines Wegzählers, wenn es die Grobortungsstelle GO passiert und erkannt hat.This is where the invention comes in. According to the teaching of the invention is the line conductor L laid in the track for locating purposes outside the sphere of influence of a possible rail connector provided with marking points recognizable by vehicle F, their distance from each other is different from that usually existing distance of the marking points, cf. Figure 3. The area of these marker locations is as follows referred to as a rough location GO; its relative or absolute position in the track is known to the vehicle. The vehicle Basically, it only begins to synchronize its odometer when it passes the rough location GO and has recognized.
Für das zuverlässige Erkennen einer Grobortungsstelle GO ist es möglich, den Abstand der Markierungsstellen größer zu machen als auf der übrigen Strecke. Ferner ist es möglich, den Abstand der Markierungsstellen innerhalb der Grobortungsstelle in einer vorgegebenen Weise zu variieren, also z. B. stetig enger oder weiter zu machen; vorteilhaft ist die Anordnung der Markierungsstellen in jeweils gleichem, kürzerem Abstand als auf der übrigen Strecke, weil dann das Passieren der Grobortungsstelle relativ schnell, einfach und zuverlässig erkannt werden kann. For the reliable detection of a rough location GO is it is possible to increase the distance between the marking points do than on the rest of the route. It is also possible the distance of the marking points within the rough location to vary in a predetermined manner, e.g. B. to make it ever tighter or wider; The arrangement is advantageous of the marking points in the same, shorter Distance than on the rest of the route, because then passing the rough location relatively quickly, easily and reliably can be recognized.
Es ist auch möglich, innerhalb einer Linienleiterschleife mehrere Grobortungsstellen vorzusehen, insbesondere dann, wenn diese Grobortungsstellen unterschiedlichen Fahrrichtungen von Fahrzeugen zuzuordnen sind. Die eine Grobortungsstelle befindet sich dann in der Nähe des einen Endes, die andere in der Nähe des anderen Endes eines Linienleiter-Streckenbereiches. Es ist aber auch möglich, daß alle Fahrzeuge unabhängig von ihrer jeweiligen Fahrrichtung die gleiche Grobortungsstelle erkennen und zur Synchronisierung ihrer fahrzeugseitigen Wegzähler verwenden.It is also possible within a line loop to provide several rough location points, especially if if these rough location points different driving directions to be assigned by vehicles. The one rough location is then near one end, the others near the other end of a line section. But it is also possible that all vehicles the same regardless of their direction of travel Recognize rough location and synchronize it Use the on-board odometer.
Für die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung ist es ohne belang, wie die Markierungsstellen des Linienleiters gebildet werden, wo der Linienleiter im Gleis angeordnet ist und ob über ihn auch eine Informationsübertragung stattfinden soll. Ferner spielt es keine Rolle, ob die Fahrzeuge mit jeweils einer einzigen Antenne ausschließlich zu Ortungszwecken oder mit mehreren Antennen versehen sind. Auch spielt es keine Rolle, ob über diese oder anderen Antennen eine Informationsübertragung in der einen oder anderen Richtung oder in beiden Richtungen stattfindet.For the device according to the invention it is irrelevant how the marking points of the line conductor are formed where the line conductor is arranged in the track and whether over it too an information transfer is to take place. Furthermore plays it doesn't matter if the vehicles are each with a single one Antenna for location purposes only or with several Antennas are provided. It also doesn't matter whether over this or other antennas transmit information in one way or the other, or both takes place.
