Eine derartige Anordnung, nachfolgend auch Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung genannt, ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 44 20 214 A1 bekannt. Diese vorbekannte Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung weist als Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Zugbeeinflussung einen in einem Gleisabschnitt angebrachten Linienleiter auf, der in Fahrtrichtung betrachtet vor einer Lichtsignaleinrichtung angeordnet ist. In Fahrtrichtung vor dem Gleisabschnitt und damit vor dem Linienleiter ist bei der bekannten Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung eine Sendeeinrichtung zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung vorgesehen, die ein Steuersignal abgibt, mit dem ein vorbeifahrendes Schienenfahrzeug die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung ermitteln kann; das Steuersignal enthält die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung. Such an arrangement, hereinafter also called train control device, is from the German Laid-open publication 44 20 214 A1. This previously known Train control device as a device for line-shaped train control one in a track section attached line conductor, looking in the direction of travel is arranged in front of a light signal device. In the direction of travel in front of the track section and thus in front of the line manager is a transmission device in the known train control device intended for punctiform information transmission, which emits a control signal with which a passing vehicle Rail vehicle the signal identifier of the light signal device can determine; the control signal contains the signal identifier the light signaling device.

Die vorbekannte Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung wird wie folgt betrieben: In den Linienleiter wird mit der Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Zugbeeinflussung ein Datensignal eingespeist, das die jeweilige Zustandsinformation und die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung enthält. Das Datensignal wird von einem in dem Gleisabschnitt auf die Lichtsignaleinrichtung zufahrenden Schienenfahrzeug empfangen und ausgewertet, wobei die empfangene Signalkennung mit der vorab durch die Sendeeinrichtung zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung übertragenen und von dem Schienenfahrzeug abgespeicherten Signalkennung verglichen wird: Stimmen beide Signalkennungen überein, wird mit der Auswertung des Datensignals fortgefahren, anderenfalls wird das Datensignal verworfen; damit ist sichergestellt, daß das Schienenfahrzeug nur solche Datensignale verwertet, die tatsächlich auch für das Schienenfahrzeug relevant sind. Anschließend wird von dem Schienenfahrzeug die in dem Datensignal enthaltende Zustandsinformation ausgewertet; hierdurch erhält das Schienenfahrzeug die Information, ob die in Fahrtrichtung nächste Lichtsignaleinrichtung auf "rot" oder "grün" steht, und kann dementsprechend seine Fahrtgeschwindigkeit wählen.The known train control device becomes as follows operated: In the line manager with the facility for line-shaped train control fed a data signal, that the respective status information and the signal identifier contains the light signal device. The data signal is from a approaching the light signal device in the track section Rail vehicle received and evaluated, with the received Signal identification with the transmitter in advance transmitted for punctiform information transmission and compared to the signal identifier stored by the rail vehicle is: If both signal identifiers match, is with continue evaluating the data signal, otherwise the data signal is discarded; this ensures that the rail vehicle only uses data signals that are actually relevant for the rail vehicle. Subsequently is from the rail vehicle in the data signal containing status information evaluated; hereby the rail vehicle receives the information whether the in the direction of travel next light signal device to "red" or "green" stands, and can accordingly its speed choose.

In den Linienleiter der vorbekannten Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung wird zusätzlich ein weiteres Datensignal einer weiteren Signaleinrichtung eingespeist, worauf an dieser Stelle jedoch nicht näher eingegangen werden soll.In the line conductor of the known train control system is another data signal of another Signaling device fed, whereupon at this point but should not be discussed in more detail.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art dahingehend fortzuentwickeln, daß Datensignale auch dann von einem Schienenfahrzeug auswertbar sind, wenn dieses die relevante Signalkennung der jeweils in Fahrtrichtung nächsten Lichtsignaleinrichtung nicht ermitteln kann, beispielsweise deshalb nicht, weil es in dem Gleisabschnitt mit der Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung - d. h. in Fahrtrichtung räumlich nach der Sendeeinrichtung zur punktförmigen Informationsübetragung - neu in Betrieb genommen wurde.The invention has for its object a train control device of the type specified in that regard evolve that data signals even from a rail vehicle can be evaluated if this is the relevant signal identifier the next light signal device in the direction of travel can't determine, for example not because because it is in the track section with the facility for linear Information transfer - d. H. in the direction of travel spatially after the transmission device for punctiform information transmission - has been put into operation again.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Zugbeeinflussung der eingangs angegebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in dem Gleisabschnitt mindestens eine Hilfseinrichtung zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung angebracht ist, die an das Schienenfahrzeug ein weiteres Steuersignal überträgt, mit dem die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung ermittelbar ist.This task is done when the train is influenced specified type according to the invention solved in that in the Track section at least one auxiliary device for punctiform Information transfer is appropriate to the Rail vehicle transmits another control signal with which the signal identifier of the light signal device can be determined.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung besteht darin, daß diese auch dann zuverlässig arbeitet, wenn Schienenfahrzeuge in dem Gleisabschnitt und damit im Bereich der Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung neu in Betrieb genommen werden. In der Praxis kann es nämlich dazu kommen, daß Datensignale verschiedener Signaleinrichtungen zu einem Schienenfahrzeug übertragen werden, beispielsweise durch ein ungewolltes Übersprechen von Datensignalen parallel benachbarter Gleise, oder auch dann, wenn - wie bei der eingangs erwähnten Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung - gewollt verschiedene Datensignale in den Linienleiter eingespeist werden. In einem solchen Fall kann ein im Gleisabschnitt neu in Betrieb genommenes Schienenfahrzeug nämlich nicht ohne weiteres erkennen, welches Datensignal wirklich das "richtige" ist, da dem Schienenfahrzeug nicht bekannt ist, auf welche Signalkennung es bei dem empfangenen Datensignal achten muß. Bevor ein in dem Gleisabschnitt neu in Betrieb genommenes Schienenfahrzeug Datensignale der Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung überhaupt erst empfangen bzw. auswerten darf, muß es also auf anderem Wege Kenntnis von der relevanten Signalkennung bzw. von der Signalkennung der nächsten Lichtsignaleinrichtung nehmen; dies erreicht das neu in Betrieb genommene Schienenfahrzeug dadurch, daß es Fahrt aufnimmt und beim Passieren der nächsten Hilfseinrichtung zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung das weitere Steuersignal empfängt. Hat das Schienenfahrzeug aus dem weiteren Steuersignal die Signalkennung ermittelt, so kann es anschließend mit dem Auswerten der Datensignale der Einrichtung zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung beginnen, da ihm nun bekannt ist, welche Signalkennung die in Fahrtrichtung nächste Lichtsignaleinrichtung tatsächlich hat.A major advantage of the train control device according to the invention is that this is reliable even then works when rail vehicles in the track section and thus in the area of the device for linear information transmission be put into operation again. In the In practice, it can happen that data signals are different Signaling devices for a rail vehicle are transmitted, for example by an unwanted crosstalk of data signals from parallel adjacent tracks, or even if - as with the train control device mentioned at the beginning - wanted different data signals in the line conductor are fed. In such a case can be a newly commissioned rail vehicle in the track section namely not easily recognize which data signal really the "right" thing is because the rail vehicle it is not known which signal identifier it is for received data signal must pay attention. Before one in the track section newly commissioned rail vehicle data signals the device for linear information transmission It must be received or evaluated in the first place in other ways, knowledge of the relevant signal identifier or from the signal identifier of the next light signal device to take; this achieves the newly put into operation Rail vehicle in that it picks up speed and when passing the next auxiliary device for punctiform information transmission receives the further control signal. Has the Rail vehicle from the further control signal the signal identifier determined, it can then with the evaluation of the data signals of the device for line-shaped information transfer begin now because of him it is known which signal identifier is the next in the direction of travel Light signal device actually has.

Um zu gewährleisten, daß bei einer neuen Inbetriebnahme eines Schienenfahrzeugs auf dem Gleisabschnitt dieses die Datensignale der Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung möglichst schnell verwerten kann, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß die Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung im Gleisabschnitt mehrere zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung ausgebildete Hilfseinrichtungen aufweist, die in regelmäßigen Abständen im Gleisabschnitt angebracht sind und das weitere Steuersignal abgegeben; je mehr Hilfseinrichtungen vorgesehen sind, um so schneller läßt sich nämlich die erforderliche Übertragung des weiteren Steuersignal zu dem neu in Betrieb genommenen Schienenfahrzeug erreichen.To ensure that when starting up again a Rail vehicle on the track section this the data signals use the train control system as quickly as possible can, it is proposed according to the invention that the train control device several in the track section point-shaped information transmission trained auxiliary facilities has at regular intervals in the track section are attached and emitted the further control signal; the more auxiliary facilities are provided, the more the required transmission of the another control signal to the newly commissioned rail vehicle to reach.

Zur Erläuterung der Erfindung ist in einer Figur ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine erfindungsgemäße Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung dargestellt.A figure is used to explain the invention Embodiment for an inventive Train control device shown.

Die Figur zeigt eine Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung 5 mit einer Einrichtung 10 zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung. Diese Einrichtung 10 enthält einen neben einem Gleis angeordneten Linienleiter 15, der in einem Gleisabschnitt 20 einer Gleisanlage 25 angebracht ist; selbstverständlich kann der Linienleiter 15 statt neben dem Gleis auch in dem Gleis bzw. Gleisbett angebracht sein. Der Gleisabschnitt 20 befindet sich vor einer Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30, die in Fahrtrichtung betrachtet - die Fahrtrichtung ist in der Figur durch einen Pfeil 35 gekennzeichnet - räumlich hinter dem Linienleiter 15 und damit auch hinter der Einrichtung 10 zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung angeordnet ist. In Fahrtrichtung betrachtet vor dem Gleisabschnitt 20 und damit vor dem Linienleiter 15 befindet sich eine Sendeeinrichtung 40 zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung. In dem Gleisabschnitt 20 sind darüber hinaus mehrere Hilfseinrichtungen 50 in regelmäßigen Abständen angebracht.The figure shows a train control device 5 with a Device 10 for linear information transmission. This device 10 contains one arranged next to a track Line conductor 15, one in a track section 20 Track system 25 is attached; of course the Line conductor 15 instead of next to the track also in the track or Track bed may be attached. The track section 20 is located in front of a light signal device 30 in the direction of travel considered - the direction of travel is in the figure by a Arrow 35 marked - spatially behind the line conductor 15 and thus also behind the device 10 for linear Information transmission is arranged. In the direction of travel considered in front of the track section 20 and thus before Line conductor 15 is a transmission device 40 for punctiform information transfer. In the track section 20 are also several auxiliary devices 50 in attached at regular intervals.

Prinzipiell können Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtungen wie die Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung 5 auch in den in Fahrtrichtung betrachtet vor und hinter dem Gleisabschnitt 20 befindlichen Gleisabschnitten angebracht sein; dies ist in der Figur durch eine weitere Sendeeinrichtung 40' zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung und eine weitere Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30' angedeutet. Dabei gehört die weitere Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30' zu einer in dem vor dem Gleisabschnitt 20 liegenden Gleisabschnitt angeordneten Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung und die weitere Sendeeinrichtung 40' zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung zu einer in dem hinter dem Gleisabschnitt 20 liegenden Gleisabschnitt angeordneten Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung.In principle, train control devices like that Train control device 5 also in the direction of travel considered in front of and behind the track section 20 Track sections may be attached; this is through in the figure a further transmission device 40 'for punctiform information transmission and a further light signal device 30 'is indicated. The further light signal device 30 'belongs to one in the track section lying in front of the track section 20 arranged train control device and the other Transmitter 40 'for punctiform information transmission to one in the one behind the track section 20 Track section arranged train control device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung wird wie folgt betrieben. Einem in Fahrtrichtung an der Sendeeinrichtung 40 zur punktförmigen Informationsübertragung vorbeifahrenden Schienenfahrzeug wird von der Sendeeinrichtung 40 ein Steuersignal übertragen, aus dem die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30 ermittelbar ist. Bei diesem Steuersignal kann es sich um ein Hilfssignal handeln, aus dem die Fahrtrichtung des Schienenfahrzeuges und damit sozusagen nur indirekt die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30 ermittelbar ist, oder es kann sich um ein Hilfssignal handeln, das die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30 direkt enthält. Nachdem das Schienenfahrzeug also an der Sendeeinrichtung 40 vorbeigefahren ist, liegt in dem Schienenfahrzeug die Information vor, welche die in Fahrtrichtung betrachtet nächste Signaleinrichtung auf der Gleisanlage 25 ist. Anschließend fährt das Schienenfahrzeug in den Gleisabschnitt 20 mit dem Linienleiter 15 und der Einrichtung 10 zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung ein. Mit diesem Linienleiter 15 werden von der Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung 5 zur dem Schienenfahrzeug Datensignale übertragen, die die Signalkennung sowie die jeweilige Zustandsinformation der Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30 enthalten. Das Schienenfahrzeug kann nach dem Empfang des Datensignals die in dem Datensignal enthaltene Signalkennung mit der aus dem Steuersignal der Sendeeinrichtung 40 gewonnenen Signalkennung vergleichen: Stimmen die beiden Signalkennungen überein, so ist das von dem Linienleiter 15 übertragene Datensignal für das Schienenfahrzeug bestimmt, so daß das Schienenfahrzeug dieses Datensignal auswerten und die jeweilige Zustandsinformation für die weitere Bestimmung der Fahrtgeschwindigkeit heranziehen darf. Stimmen die Signalkennungen des Datensignals und des Steuersignals jedoch nicht überein, so wird das empfangene Datensignal verworfen und nicht ausgewertet.The train control device according to the invention is like follows operated. One in the direction of travel on the transmitter 40 passing by for punctiform information transmission Rail vehicle is a from the transmitter 40 Control signal transmitted from which the signal identifier of Light signal device 30 can be determined. With this control signal it can be an auxiliary signal from which the direction of travel of the rail vehicle and thus only indirectly, so to speak the signal identifier of the light signal device 30 can be determined is, or it can be an auxiliary signal that the Contains signal identifier of the light signal device 30 directly. After this the rail vehicle thus drove past the transmission device 40 the information is in the rail vehicle which the next signal device viewed in the direction of travel is on the track 25. Subsequently the rail vehicle moves into the track section 20 with the Line conductor 15 and the device 10 for linear information transmission on. With this line 15 will be from the train control device 5 to the rail vehicle Transfer data signals that the signal identifier as well as the contain respective status information of the light signal device 30. The rail vehicle can after receiving the data signal the signal identifier contained in the data signal that obtained from the control signal of the transmitter 40 Compare signal identifier: Are the two signal identifiers correct? match, is the data signal transmitted by the line conductor 15 destined for the rail vehicle, so that Rail vehicle evaluate this data signal and the respective Status information for the further determination of the Speed can be used. Are the signal identifiers correct? However, the data signal and the control signal are not match, the received data signal is discarded and not evaluated.

Wird ein in dem Gleisabschnitt 20 befindliches Schienenfahrzeug neu in Betrieb genommen, beispielsweise deshalb, weil der Gleisabschnitt 20 ein Abstellgleis oder ein Gleis im Bahnhofsbereich ist, so ist dem Schienenfahrzeug nach dem Einschalten nicht bekannt, welche Signalkennung für das Schienenfahrzeug relevant ist. Aus diesem Grunde darf das Schienenfahrzeug empfangene Datensignale des Linienleiters 15 nicht ohne weiteres auswerten. In einem solchen Fall wird das Schienenfahrzeug seine Fahrt zunächst aufnehmen. Fährt das Schienenfahrzeug dann an einer Hilfseinrichtung 50 vorbei, so empfängt es ein von den Hilfseinrichtungen 50 abgestrahltes, die Signalkennung der Lichtsignaleinrichtung 30 enthaltendes weiteres Steuersignal; nach dem Empfang dieses weiteren Steuersignals kann es dann anschließend zum Empfang der Datensignale der Einrichtung 10 zur linienförmigen Informationsübertragung übergehen.If a rail vehicle located in the track section 20 put into operation again, for example because the track section 20 a siding or a track in Station area, so is the rail vehicle after Turn on not known which signal identifier for the Rail vehicle is relevant. For this reason Data signals of the line conductor 15 received by the rail vehicle do not evaluate easily. In such a case it will Rail vehicle first start its journey. Does that Rail vehicle then past an auxiliary device 50, see above it receives a radiation emitted by the auxiliary devices 50, the signal identifier of the light signal device 30 further containing Control signal; after receiving this further control signal it can then be used to receive the data signals the device 10 for linear information transmission pass.

Die in dem Gleisabschnitt 20 angebrachten Hilfseinrichtungen 50 dienen also dazu, einem in dem Gleisabschnitt 20 neu in Betrieb genommenen Schienenfahrzeug - also einem Schienenfahrzeug, das die Signalkennung der jeweils nächsten Lichtsignaleinrichtung nicht kennen kann - sozusagen nachträglich diese Signalkennung zu übermitteln.The auxiliary devices installed in the track section 20 50 thus serve to re-insert one in the track section 20 Commissioned rail vehicle - i.e. a rail vehicle, that is the signal identifier of the next Light signal device can not know - so to speak, retrospectively to transmit this signal identifier.
