Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Achszählerabschnitte werden zwischen Achszählpunkten gebildet, um den Belegungszustand der einzelnen Abschnitte zu ermitteln. Anhand des Belegungszustandes werden innerhalb eines Stellwerkes Entscheidungen über die Steuerung der Gleisanlage, beispielsweise bezüglich Signal- und Weichenstellungen, getroffen. Die Entscheidungsfindung und die Umsetzung in entsprechende Stellsignale erfolgen zunehmend automatisch. Derartig ferngesteuerte Betriebszentralen benötigen kein Bedienpersonal. Aus Sicherheitsgründen muss garantiert sein, dass die im Stellwerk beziehungsweise in der Betriebsleitzentrale zu verarbeitenden Informationen über den Belegungszustand von Achszählerabschnitten zu jedem Zeitpunkt korrekt und vollständig sind. Es kann jedoch vorkommen, dass ein Achszähler ausfällt oder fehlerhafte Signale liefert. Fehlzählungen, elektromagnetische Störungen, Sicherheitsreaktionen auf bestimmte Arten von Rangiervorgängen oder andere Einflussgrößen können die Funktionsfähigkeit des Stellwerkes und insbesondere der ferngesteuerten Betriebszentrale erheblich beeinträchtigen. Jegliche Art von Störungen führen ohne Zeitverzögerung zum Auslösen bestimmter Sicherheitsreaktionen. Alle auf der Strecke befindlichen Züge werden angewiesen zu stoppen, oder die Geschwindigkeit zu reduzieren, wenn nicht absolut sicher ist, dass ein vorausliegender Gleisabschnitt frei ist. Bei durchgehenden Bahnhofsgleisen kann die Fahrerlaubnis so lange nicht erteilt werden, wie nicht klar ist, ob ein vorausfahrender Zug den Bahnhof verlassen hat. Insbesondere bei sehr hohen Zugdichten, beispielsweise im S-Bahn-Verkehr, kommt es dadurch sehr häufig zu sicherheitsbedingten Verspätungen. Die Zugverspätungen könnten noch zunehmen, wenn die Strecken von Betriebszentralen aus ferngesteuert werden und nicht genügend Personal für eine augenscheinliche Prüfung des Belegungszustandes des Gleises zur Verfügung steht.The invention relates to a track vacancy detection device according to the Preamble of claim 1. Axle counter sections are between Axis counting points are formed to determine the occupancy status of each Identify sections. Based on the occupancy status within a signal box decisions about the control of the track system, for example with regard to signal and switch positions. The Decision making and the implementation in corresponding control signals are increasingly automatic. Such remote controlled operations centers do not require operating personnel. For security reasons it must be guaranteed be that in the signal box or in the operations control center processing information about the occupancy of Axle counter sections are correct and complete at all times. It However, an axle counter may fail or be faulty Delivers signals. Miscounts, electromagnetic interference, Security reactions to certain types of shunting operations or other influencing factors can affect the functionality of the signal box and especially the remote-controlled operations center considerably affect. Any kind of disturbances lead without delay to trigger certain security reactions. Everyone on the line trains are instructed to stop, or the Reduce speed if not absolutely certain that a track section ahead is free. With continuous station tracks the driver's license cannot be issued as long as it is not clear whether a train in front has left the station. Especially with very This results in high train densities, for example in S-Bahn traffic very often to safety-related delays. The train delays could increase if the routes from operations centers be remote controlled and not enough staff for one Apparent check of the occupancy of the track Available.

Um das Verspätungsproblem im Falle einer Achszählerstörung zu lösen, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, eine automatische Fehlerkorrektureinrichtung zu entwickeln. Eine solche Fehlerkorrektureinrichtung müsste in der Lage sein, möglichst viele Ursachen für Fehlfunktionen, wie beispielsweise elektromagnetische Störungen, oder rangierbedingte Störungen, zweifelsfrei zu dedektieren. Nachteilig bei der automatischen Fehlerkorrektur ist neben der Komplexität der Algorithmen vor allem die Erkenntnis, dass wichtige Funktionen nicht signaltechnisch realisierbar sind.To solve the delay problem in the event of an axle counter failure, An automatic error correction device has already been proposed to develop. Such an error correction device should be able to as many causes as possible for malfunctions, such as electromagnetic interference, or maneuver-related interference, beyond any doubt to dedicate. Another disadvantage of automatic error correction is the complexity of the algorithms especially the knowledge that important Functions cannot be implemented in terms of signal technology.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung der oben genannten Gattung anzugeben, die sich durch geringe Kosten sowohl hinsichtlich der Entwicklung, als auch der Projektierung beziehungsweise Realisierung auszeichnet, wobei eine möglichst hohe Zuverlässigkeit anzustreben ist.The invention has for its object a track vacancy detection device of the above-mentioned type, which is characterized by low costs both in terms of development and project planning or implementation, with the highest possible Reliability is the goal.

Die Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die Bildung übergeordneter Block-Achszählerabschnitte ergibt sich eine Verbesserung der betrieblichen Übersicht im Falle einer Achszählerstörung. Der Fahrdienstleiter ist nicht auf die Beobachtung der Teil-Achszählerabschnitte, deren Belegungszustand vom Stellwerk verarbeitet wird, angewiesen, um einen Gefahrenzustand zu erkennen. Wenn der Block-Achszählerabschnitt als frei erkannt wurde, kann mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit davon ausgegangen werden, dass die untergeordneten Teil-Achszählerabschnitte, wie vorgesehen, durchfahren wurden, auch wenn ein Achszählpunkt eines Teil-Achszählerabschnittes keine oder fehlerhafte Signale an das Stellwerk übermittelt hat. Eine Störung oder eine Unterbrechung des ordnungsgemäßen Betriebes lässt sich somit in vielen Fällen vermeiden. Letztlich wird Verspätungen wirkungsvoller vorgebeugt.The object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Through the formation of higher-level block axle counter sections an improvement in the operational overview in the event of a Achszählerstörung. The dispatcher is not on the observation of the Part axle counter sections, their occupancy status from the signal box processed, instructed to recognize a dangerous state. If the block axle counter section was recognized as free, you can use very high probability that the Drive through subordinate axle sub-sections as intended even if an axle counting point of a sub-axle counter section has transmitted no or faulty signals to the signal box. A Disruption or an interruption to normal operation avoid yourself in many cases. Ultimately there will be delays prevented more effectively.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 sind den Block-Achszählerabschnitten eigene Achszählpunkte zugeordnet, das heißt, es werden keine für die Teil-Achszählerabschnitte vorgesehenen Achszählpunkte quasi doppelt genutzt. Eine Doppelnutzung wäre jedoch auch möglich, wobei in einer weiteren Ausbaustufe die Anzahl der den Block-Achszählerabschnitt bildenden Teil-Achszählerabschnitte variabel gehandhabt werden könnte. Letzteres hätte den Vorteil, dass insbesondere bei akuter Havariegefahr oder bei dem Ausfall mehrerer Achszählpunkte von Teil-Achszählerabschnitten eine schneller Beurteilung der Gefahrensituation möglich wäre. Allerdings bietet sich die Bildung der Block-Achszählerabschnitte auf der Basis zugeordneter Achszählpunkte zumindest für die Einführung bei der Deutschen Bundesbahn AG an, da teilweise bereits derzeit nicht genutzte Achszählpunkte vorhanden sind.According to claim 2, the block axle counter sections are separate Axle counting points are assigned, i.e. there are none for the partial axle counter sections intended axle counting points are used almost twice. However, double use would also be possible, with another Expansion level the number of partial axle counter sections forming the block axle counter section could be handled variably. The latter would have been the advantage that in particular in the event of an acute accident or at Failure of several axle counting points of sub-axle counter sections one faster assessment of the dangerous situation would be possible. However, offers the formation of the block axle counter sections on the basis of assigned Axle counting points at least for the introduction to the German Bundesbahn AG, because some of them are not currently being used Axis counting points are available.

Vorzugsweise werden gemäß Anspruch 3 Streckenanfang und Streckenende der Block-Achszählerabschnitte von den topografischen Gegebenheiten bestimmt. Zur Überwachung der Zugfolge im Bahnhofsbereich sind dazu Block-Achszählerabschnitte über jedes durchgehende Bahnhofsgleis vorgesehen. Auch bei Verzweigungen innerhalb des Bahnhofsbereiches kann somit eindeutig beurteilt werden, ob das Schienenfahrzeug den Bahnhof - auf welchem Verzweigungsweg auch immer - verlassen hat, da dann der Zählpunkt am Ausfahrende des Block-Achszählerabschnittes ein Überfahren signalisiert hat.According to claim 3, the beginning and end of the route are preferred the block axle counter sections from the topographical conditions certainly. To monitor the train sequence in the station area are to Block axle counter sections over each continuous station track intended. Even with branches within the station area can thus be clearly assessed whether the rail vehicle is the Has left the station - no matter which branching route - there then the point of delivery at the exit end of the block axle counter section Signaled that the vehicle had been run over.

Gemäß Anspruch 4 sind die Block-Achszählerabschnitte als sogenanntes sicheres Meldebild grafisch dargestellt. Vorzugsweise werden die Block-Achszählerabschnitte zusätzlich zu den schon vorhandenen Teil-Achszählerabschnitten, Bahnhofsgleisen und Weichenabschnitten am Monitor sicher angezeigt. Im Falle einer Achszählerstörung kann der Fahrdienstleiter anhand der Anzeige der übergeordneten Block-Achszählerabschnitte feststellen, ob der Zug den gesamten Block beziehungsweise das gesamte durchgehende Bahnhofsgleis geräumt hat, ohne auf eine augenscheinliche Prüfung der Vollständigkeit des Zuges durch Personal vor Ort angewiesen zu sein.According to claim 4, the block axle counter sections as a so-called Safe message image is shown graphically. The block axle counter sections are preferred in addition to the existing partial axle counter sections, Station tracks and switch sections on Monitor safely displayed. In the event of an axle counter fault, the Dispatcher based on the display of the higher-level block axle counter sections determine if the train is the entire block or has cleared the entire continuous station track, without having to check the completeness of the train to be instructed by local staff.

Diese zusätzlichen Zählpunkte 4 werden nicht für Weichen- oder Signalstellzwecke, das heißt zur Signalgebung an das Stellwerk, sondern zur Visualisierung eines sicheren Meldebildes verwendet. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen verschiedene Meldebilder in vereinfachter Form. Der Fahrdienstleiter kann anhand der im Meldebild beispielsweise durch die Farbgebung oder durch Blinkeffekte den Aktivierungs- oder Deaktivierungszustand signalisierenden zusätzlichen Zählpunkt 4 erkennen, ob ein Schienenfahrzeug den Bahnhofsbereich verlassen hat. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, auf welchen der innerhalb der Bahnhofstopografie möglichen Gleisen 1a , 1b, 2 das Schienenfahrzeug gefahren ist.The station system illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises two continuous Tracks 1a and 1b and several branched tracks 2. On all Branches are close to the corresponding switches Metering points 3 are provided for signaling to at least one signal box. In addition, there are additional metering points 4 for each continuous track 1a, 1b in front of the station entrance and behind the station exit arranged. These additional metering points 4 are not used for switch or signal-setting purposes, i.e. for signaling to the signal box, but used to visualize a secure message picture. The Figures 1 and 2 show different report images in a simplified form.
