Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur drahtlosen Verbindung von Fahrzeugbussystemen mindestens zweier in einen Zugverband eingestellter Fahrzeuge über Koppeleinrichtungen beiderseits des zwischen diesen Fahrzeugen zu überbrückenden Zwischenraumes unter Verwendung eines diese Fahrzeuge verbindenden Steuerbusses sowie mindestens eines je Fahrzeug an diesen Steuerbus angeschlossenen Steuergerätes, welches unter Verwendung von auf dem Steuerbus ausgetauschter Daten in an sich bekannter Weise Reihenfolge und Orientierung der Fahrzeuge im Zugverband ermittelt.The invention relates to a method and a device for wireless connection of vehicle bus systems of at least two vehicles set in a train via coupling devices on both sides of the bridge between these vehicles Interspace using a connecting these vehicles Steuerbusses and at least one per vehicle connected to this control bus Control unit, which exchanged using on the control bus Data in a known manner order and orientation of the vehicles determined in the train.
Es ist allgemeiner Stand der Technik, zur Übertragung von Informationen zwischen
mehr als zwei Teilnehmern Bussysteme einzusetzen. Insbesondere in der Schienfahrzeugtechnik
erfolgt einerseits eine Datenkommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Fahrzeugen
eines Zugverbandes unter Verwendung eines Zug- oder Steuerbusses; die
Datenkommunikation innerhalb eines Fahrzeuges erfolgt über einen Fahrzeugbus. Unter
dem Begriff "Fahrzeugbus" ist im folgenden Fall sowohl ein Wagenbus, der zum
Austausch einfacher Steuersequenzen üblicherweise mit relativ geringen Übertragungsraten
bzw. -bandbreiten arbeitet (z.B. Multifunction-Vehicle-Bus (MVB), IBIS...), als
auch ein eher breitbandiger Informationsbus, wie er üblicherweise zur Anbindung der
Anlagen zur Fahrgastinformation zum Einsatz kommt, zu verstehen. Unter dem Begriff
"Steuerbus" wird im Folgenden ein durch alle Fahrzeuge, die miteinander zu einem
Zugverband zusammengschlossen sind, durchgängig verlaufendes Übertragungsmedium
zur bidirektionalen Übertragung von Steuerbefehlen zwischen mindestens einem im
Zugverband eingestellten übergeordneten Fahrzeug ("Master) und den übrigen Fahrzeugen
im Zugverband ("Slave") verstanden.
Nach dem Stand der Technik werden zur Verbindung eines solchen fahrzeugübergreifenden
Bussystems steckbare Kabelkupplungen eingesetzt, so dass in beliebiger Weise
Fahrzeuge aus dem Zugverband herausgelöst oder in den Zugverband eingestellt werden
können. Eine derartige Verbindungsart ist z.B. für die europäischen Bahnen im
UIC-Merkblatt 558 (UIC = Union internationale des chemins de fer) als Normvorgabe
beschrieben, so dass eine europaweit freizügige Einsetzbarkeit des Wagenmaterials
gewährleistet ist. Über derartige Steuerbusse werden auch die Zugtaufen zur Bestimmung
von Reihenfolge und Orientierungen der Wagen eines Zugverbandes durchgeführt.
Beispielsweise beschreibt DE 198 58 922 ein derartiges Verfahren. Ferner sind
aus dem Stand der Technik Ansätze bekannt, die Zugtaufe zur Gewinnung dieser Informationen
unter Verzicht auf einen derartigen Steuerbus durchzuführen. Als Beispiel
hierfür sei DE 198 30 053 genannt, das die Verwendung eines manuellen Datenerfassungsgerätes
lehrt, mittels dessen ein manueller Bediener den Zugverband abschreiten
kann und die interessierenden Informationen manuell erfassen und einer zentralen Logik
verfügbar machen kann.
Bei der Einführung zusätzlicher, wagenübergreifender Bussysteme oder Bustechnologien
muss nach diesem Stand der Technik entweder die Kontaktzahl des bestehenden
Stecksystems erhöht oder die Neuverlegung zusätzlicher Kabelsysteme mit einem separaten
Stecksystem durchgeführt werden. Beide Lösungen treiben sowohl die Investitionskosten
für die Fahrzeuge als auch den betrieblichen Aufwand bei der Zusammenstellung
der Fahrzeuge zu Zugverbänden in die Höhe. Zudem erweisen sich die begrenzte
Leistungsfähigkeit und die starkem Verschleiss unterliegenden, stör- bzw.
schadanfälligen elektrischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Steckkupplung als
begrenzende Faktoren beim verstärkten Einsatz zugbasierter Informationstechnologien.
Desweiteren sind Verfahren als Stand der Technik bekannt, bei denen die Datenübertragung
auf bestehende, aber bereits anderweitig belegte Steuerleitungen, z.B. dem
Einschaltsignal für die Innenbeleuchtung, aufmoduliert wird. Bei Schienenfahrzeugen ist
die Menge der derart verwendbaren Steuerleitungen sehr stark eingeschränkt. Zudem
dürfen sich die angewendeten Verfahren nicht gegenseitig beeinflussen, wodurch sich
Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der erreichbaren Übertragungsbandbreite und Verfügbarkeit
ergeben. Ausserdem können mit dieser Methode keine hohen Datenraten übertragen
werden.
Zur Erweiterung des vorhandenen UIC-Steuerbus beziehungsweise zur Umgehung der
begrenzten Möglichkeiten einer leitungsgebundenen Kopplung von Bussystemen sind
Vorrichtungen zur kontaktlosen Kopplung von Bussystemen bekannt, die durch an jeweils
beiden Wagenenden angebrachten Sende- und Empfangseinrichtungen eine wagenübergreifende
Datenübertragung über eine Luftschnittstelle ermöglichen. Als Problem
hat sich hierbei insbesondere herausgestellt, dass beim Verbindungsaufbau nicht
einwandfrei gewährleistet werden kann, dass die Verbindung ausschliesslich zum gewünschten
Fahrzeug aufgebaut wird. Bedingt durch die im betrieblichen Alltag stark
wechselnden Empfangsverhältnisse lassen sich Sendeleistung und Ausbreitungsrichtung
nicht so beeinflussen, dass das Überspringen von Fahrzeugen, die Verwechslung
der Verbindungsreihenfolge oder das Einbinden zugfremder Fahrzeuge (z.B. auf benachbarten
Gleisen) sicher ausgeschlossen werden kann. Des weiteren kann bei dieser
Art der rein funktechnischen Übertragung nicht sicher unterschieden werden, ob die
Verbindung gestört ist bzw. das angesprochene Fahrzeug überhaupt vorhanden ist. It is general state of the art to use bus systems for transmitting information between more than two subscribers. In particular, in the rail vehicle technology, on the one hand, data communication takes place between the individual vehicles of a train formation using a train or control bus; the data communication within a vehicle takes place via a vehicle bus. The term "vehicle bus" in the following case, both a car bus, which usually works with relatively low transmission rates or bandwidths for the exchange of simple control sequences (eg Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB), IBIS ...), as well as a more broadband information bus, as it is usually used to connect the systems for passenger information used to understand. The term "control bus" is hereinafter used by all vehicles, which are combined together to form a train, continuously extending transmission medium for bidirectional transmission of control commands between at least one set in the train superior vehicle ("Master") and the other vehicles in the train (" Slave ") understood.
According to the prior art, pluggable cable couplings are used to connect such a vehicle-overlapping bus system, so that vehicles can be removed from the train or set in the train in any way. Such a type of connection is described, for example, for European railways in UIC leaflet 558 (UIC = Union international des chemins de fer) as a standard specification, so that a permissive Europe-wide applicability of the car material is guaranteed. About such tax buses and the Zugtaufen are carried out to determine the order and orientation of the car of a train. For example, DE 198 58 922 describes such a method. Furthermore, approaches are known from the prior art to perform the Zugtaufe for obtaining this information waiving such a control bus. An example of this is DE 198 30 053, which teaches the use of a manual data acquisition device by means of which a manual operator can step off the train and manually capture the information of interest and make it available to a centralized logic.
When introducing additional, cross-carriage bus systems or bus technologies, either the contact number of the existing plug-in system must be increased or the relocation of additional cable systems with a separate plug-in system must be carried out according to this state of the art. Both solutions drive both the investment costs for the vehicles as well as the operating costs in the compilation of vehicles to train associations in the air. In addition, the limited performance and the heavy wear, susceptible to damage or damage to electrical and mechanical properties of the plug-in coupling prove to be limiting factors in the increased use of train-based information technologies. Furthermore, methods are known as the prior art, in which the data transfer to existing, but already occupied elsewhere control lines, such as the turn-on signal for the interior lighting, is modulated. In rail vehicles, the amount of such usable control lines is very limited. In addition, the methods used must not interfere with each other, which results in limitations on the achievable transmission bandwidth and availability. Moreover, this method can not transfer high data rates.
To expand the existing UIC control bus or to circumvent the limited possibilities of a wired coupling of bus systems devices for contactless coupling of bus systems are known, which allow by attached to both ends of the car transmitting and receiving devices a cross-carriage data transmission via an air interface. In particular, it has proven to be a problem here that it is not possible to guarantee perfectly when establishing the connection that the connection is established exclusively to the desired vehicle. As a result of the reception conditions, which vary greatly in everyday operations, the transmission power and direction of propagation can not be influenced in such a way that the skipping of vehicles, the confusion of the connection order or the inclusion of vehicles with foreign trains (eg on adjacent tracks) can be reliably ruled out. Furthermore, it can not be reliably distinguished in this type of purely radio transmission, whether the connection is disturbed or the addressed vehicle is even present.
Hierauf aufbauend sind weitergehende Systeme bekannt, bei denen die am Gateway ankommenden Daten durch die Übertragungseinrichtung analysiert und geeignete Format- und/oder Adresstransformationen durchgeführt werden. Ein derartiges System ist z.B. von der Ascom AG unter dem Produktnamen "Interlex" publiziert worden. Hierbei verfügt jedes Fahrzeug über ein Gateway mit zwei Antennenanschlüssen für die beiden Wagenenden. Über die Antenen werden bidirektional modulierte Daten ausgetauscht. Es hat sich jedoch als nachteilig erwiesen, dass - neben den zum Datenaustausch ohnehin notwendigen Fahrzeugbussystemen - zusätzliche Antennenkabel über die gesamte Fahrzeuglänge verlegt werden müssen.Building on this, further systems are known, in which the at the gateway incoming data analyzed by the transmission device and suitable Format and / or address transformations are performed. Such a system is e.g. published by Ascom AG under the product name "Interlex". in this connection Each vehicle has a gateway with two antenna connections for the both wagon ends. The antennas exchange bi-directionally modulated data. However, it has proved to be disadvantageous that - in addition to the data exchange anyway necessary vehicle bus systems - additional antenna cable via the entire vehicle length must be laid.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur drahtlosen Verbindung von Fahrzeugbussystemen mindestens zweier in einen Zugverband eingestellter Fahrzeuge über Koppeleinrichtungen zu entwickeln, die eine bidirektionale und transparente Informationsübertragung zwischen den Fahrzeugen ermöglicht. Unter "transparent" ist hierbei eine bedingungslose Übertragung zu verstehen, bei der vor Übertragung eines anstehenden Datenpaketes keinerlei zu erfüllende Kriterien abgeprüft werden und auch keine Veränderung an Aufbau und Inhalt der Datenpakete vorgenommen wird. Zur Verringerung des fahrzeugseitigen Aufwandes muss der Übertragungsweg der in Funksignale umgewandelten Informationseinheiten möglichst kurz sein und es darf kein weiterer Konfigurations-, Bearbeitungs- oder Steuerungsaufwand erforderlich sein. Der Verbindungsaufbau muss wagenselektiv und in Übereinstimmung mit der Anordnung der Fahrzeuge im Zugverband möglich sein.The invention is based on the object, a method and an apparatus for wireless connection of vehicle bus systems at least two in a train set vehicles via coupling devices to develop a bidirectional and transparent information transfer between the vehicles allows. Under "transparent" here is an unconditional transfer to understand the before transmission of a pending data packet no criteria to be met be checked and no change to the structure and content of the data packets is made. To reduce the vehicle-side effort, the transmission path the information units converted into radio signals as short as possible be and there may be no further configuration, processing or control effort to be required. The connection establishment must be car-selective and in agreement be possible with the arrangement of the vehicles in the train.
Diese Aufgabe wird in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 erfindungsgemäß
dadurch gelöst, dass in jeder Koppeleinrichtung eines Fahrzeuges aus
den im Steuergerät dieses Fahrzeuges abgespeicherten Informationen über die Reihenfolge
und Orientierung der Fahrzeuge im Zugverband eine für die Verbindung zwischen
den Fahrzeugbussystemen eindeutige eigene Adressierung sowie eine eindeutige
Adressierung der in Richtung der drahtlosen Übertragungsstrecke nächstgelegenen
Koppeleinrichtung des benachbarten Fahrzeuges generiert wird und diese Adressierung
für die drahtlose Übertragung von Daten an diese benachbarte Koppeleinrichtung
verwendet wird. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, durch ungerichtete Übertragung eine
transparente und wagenselektive Kommunikation zu realisieren.
Da der erfinderische Gedanke diese Informationen über die Reihenfolge und Orientierung
der Fahrzeuge im Zugverband lediglich im Sinne einer Eingangsgrösse benötigt,
deckt die Erfindung selbstverständlich sämtliche Anwendungsfälle ab, bei denen Reihenfolge
und Orientierung der Fahrzeuge unter Verzicht auf einen derartigen Steuerbus
mit anderweitigen Methoden ermittelt werden.This object is achieved in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1 according to the invention that in each coupling device of a vehicle from the stored in the control unit of this vehicle information about the order and orientation of the vehicles in a train for the connection between the vehicle bus systems unique addressing and a unambiguous addressing of the closest to the wireless transmission link coupling device of the adjacent vehicle is generated and this addressing is used for the wireless transmission of data to this adjacent coupling device. In this way, it is possible to realize a transparent and car-selective communication by non-directional transmission.
Since the inventive idea requires this information about the order and orientation of the vehicles in the train only in the sense of an input variable, the invention naturally covers all applications in which the order and orientation of the vehicles are determined by dispensing with such a control bus with other methods.
Der Erfindungsgedanke wird wirksam unterstützt, wenn ein anliegendes Datenpaket ohne Durchführung eines Selektionsmechanismus von der einen Koppeleinrichtung zur benachbarten, ihr jenseits der Luftschnittstelle gegenüberliegenden Koppeleinrichtung übertragen wird, sobald dieses Datenpaket an der fahrzeugbusseitigen Schnittstelle der sendenden Koppeleinrichtung anliegt. Unter diesem Verzicht auf einen Selektionsmechanismus ist das bedingungslose Aussenden im Sinne einer transparenten Kommunikation zu verstehen. Wie beispielsweise von Repeatern her bekannt, wird die Übertragung eines an der Koppeleinrichtung anliegenden Datenpaketes also nicht von der Erfüllung eines irgendwie gearteten Kriteriums abhängig gemacht. Ein solches System ist einfach und damit kostengünstig und für den Eisenbahnbetrieb hinreichend robust darstellbar.The inventive concept is effectively supported when an attached data packet without performing a selection mechanism of the one coupling device for adjacent, opposite her beyond the air interface coupling device is transmitted as soon as this data packet at the vehicle bus side interface of sending coupling device is applied. Under this waiver of a selection mechanism is the unconditional sending in the sense of a transparent communication to understand. For example, as known from repeaters her, the transmission a voltage applied to the coupling device data so not from the fulfillment of some kind of criterion. Such a system is simple and therefore inexpensive and sufficiently robust for railroad operation.
Alternativ dazu ist es auch denkbar, dass in der sendenden Koppeleinrichtung die an der fahrzeugbusseitigen Schnittstelle anliegenden Datenpakete anhand ihrer Zieladresse unter Verwendung von an sich bekannten Selbstlern-Mechanismen adressselektiv ausgewertet werden und eine Weiterleitung an Empfänger unterdrückt wird, die nicht in dem über die drahtlose Verbindungsstrecke anzusprechenden Teil des Zugverbandes angeordnet sind. Dadurch wird in wirksamer Weise der über den drahtlosen Übertragungsweg abzuwickelnde Datenverkehr reduziert.Alternatively, it is also conceivable that in the sending coupling device to the vehicle bus side interface data packets based on their destination address using address-selective self-learning mechanisms be evaluated and a forwarding to recipients is suppressed, not in the to be addressed via the wireless link part of the train are arranged. This effectively over the wireless transmission path reduced data traffic.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen in den Unteransprüchen genannten Merkmalen.Further preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the remaining in the subclaims mentioned features.
Der Erfindungsgedanke wird anhand eines in Figur 1 (Schemadarstellung der Buskopplung zweier Fahrzeuge) dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben.The idea of the invention is based on a in Figure 1 (schematic representation of the bus coupling two vehicles) described embodiment described.
Ein Zugverband mit mindestens zwei Fahrzeugen (1.1, 1.2) besitzt in jedem Fahrzeug
einen Fahrzeugbus (2), der zur Datenkommunikation mehrerer unterschiedlicher informationstechnischer
Einrichtungen wie beispielsweise Informationsdisplays und / oder
Video-Servern dient. Die Einbindung der über den Fahrzeugbus (2) kommunizierenden
Busteilnehmer ist grundsätzlich bekannt und wird hier nicht weiter dargestellt. In jedem
Fahrzeug befindet sich ausserdem ein Steuerbus (3.1) mit jeweils einem Steuergerät
(7), der an den Fahrzeugenden durch Verbindungskabel über eine Steckkupplung (5)
zum Steuerbus (3.2) des benachbarten Wagens weitergeführt ist. Die als "Zugtaufe"
bezeichnete Initialisierung der Steuergeräte wird üblicherweise nach einer Neuzusammenstellung
oder Trennung des Zuges bzw. nach einem Wechsel der Zugnummer eines
Zuges angestossen.
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich an jedem Fahrzeugende ein Koppelelement
(6.1.1 und 6.1.2 bei Fahrzeug 1.1 bzw. 6.2.1 und 6.2.2 bei Fahrzeug 1.2).
Jedes dieser Koppelelemente (6) ist mit dem Fahrzeugbus (2) des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs
(1) verbunden. Das Steuergerät (7) verfügt über ein Verbindungsglied (4) an den
Fahrzeugbus (2). Die Koppelelemente (6) sind nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über
den Fahrzeugbus (2) mit dem Steuergerät (7) verbunden.
Vor dem Start der Verbindungsphase sind die Fahrzeugbusse (2.1, 2.2) voneinander
getrennt. Die Kommunikation über den Fahrzeugbus kann in diesem Stadium nur zwischen
Busteilnehmern erfolgen, die sich innerhalb desselben Fahrzeuges befinden.
Nach Bestimmung der physischen Fahrzeugreihenfolge im Zugverband (1.1, 1.2) durch
die Steuergeräte (7) und über den Steuerbus (3) wird während einer Verbindungsphase
in jedem Fahrzeug die Information über benachbarte Fahrzeuge (1.2) vom Steuergerät
(7.1) an das Koppelelement (6.1.1) übertragen. Dabei erhält jedes Koppelelement
(6.1.1) aus dem Steuergerät (7.1) des eigenen Fahrzeuges (1.1) Informationen über
das Koppelgerät (6.2.2) im unmittelbar benachbarten Fahrzeug (1.2).
Die Übertragung dieser Information wird entweder vom Steuergerät oder von den Koppelelementen
selbst angestossen. Nachdem die einander gegenüberliegenden Koppelelemente
(6.1.1, 6.2.2) mit jeweils eindeutiger Information über die Zuordnung zum
Trägerfahrzeug (1.1, 1.2) und dessen Positionierung und Orientierung im Zugverband
versehen sind, können diese eine drahtlose, bidirektionale und eindeutige Kommunikation
(8) aufbauen, z.B. mittels elektromagnetischer Wellen wie Funk oder Licht.
Ab diesem Zeitpunkt werden alle Daten, die von einem Teilnehmer am Fahrzeugbus
(2.1) zum Koppelelement (6.1.1) geschickt werden, von diesem über eine drahtlose
Kommunikationsverbindung (8) an das benachbarte Koppelelement (6.2.2) übertragen,
das dann die Daten auf den dortigen Fahrzeugbus (2.2) weiterleitet. Somit sind nach
Beeendigung eventueller Verbindungsaufbauphasen die Fahrzeugbusse (2.1, 2.2) der
einzelnen Fahrzeuge (1.1, 1.2) über die Koppelelemente (6.1.1, 6.2.2) zu einem einzigen,
den gesamten Zugverband umfassenden Bus gekoppelt. Die Kommunikation über
die Koppelelemente hinweg ist für die Busteilnehmer transparent. A train with at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2) has in each vehicle a vehicle bus (2), which is used for data communication of several different information technology facilities such as information displays and / or video servers. The integration of the via the vehicle bus (2) communicating bus subscribers is basically known and will not be shown here. In each vehicle is also a control bus (3.1), each with a control unit (7), which is continued at the vehicle ends by connecting cable via a plug-in coupling (5) to the control bus (3.2) of the adjacent car. The initialization of the control devices, referred to as "train baptism", is usually initiated after a new compilation or separation of the train or after a change in the train number of a train.
In the illustrated embodiment is located at each end of the vehicle a coupling element (6.1.1 and 6.1.2 in the vehicle 1.1 or 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 in the vehicle 1.2). Each of these coupling elements (6) is connected to the vehicle bus (2) of the respective vehicle (1). The control unit (7) has a connecting member (4) to the vehicle bus (2). The coupling elements (6) are connected according to this embodiment via the vehicle bus (2) with the control unit (7).
Before starting the connection phase, the vehicle buses (2.1, 2.2) are separated from each other. Communication via the vehicle bus at this stage can only take place between bus subscribers who are located within the same vehicle. After determining the physical order of the train in the train (1.1, 1.2) by the control units (7) and the control bus (3) during a connection phase in each vehicle, the information about adjacent vehicles (1.2) from the control unit (7.1) to the coupling element (6.1 .1). Each coupling element (6.1.1) from the control unit (7.1) of the own vehicle (1.1) receives information about the coupling device (6.2.2) in the immediately adjacent vehicle (1.2).
The transmission of this information is triggered either by the control unit or by the coupling elements themselves. After the opposing coupling elements (6.1.1, 6.2.2) are each provided with clear information about the assignment to the carrier vehicle (1.1, 1.2) and its positioning and orientation in the train, they can wireless, bidirectional and unique communication (8) build up, eg by means of electromagnetic waves such as radio or light.
From this point in time, all data sent by a subscriber on the vehicle bus (2.1) to the coupling element (6.1.1) is transmitted by the latter via a wireless communication link (8) to the adjacent switching element (6.2.2), which then transmits the data on the local vehicle bus (2.2) forwards. Thus, after completion of any connection establishment phases, the vehicle buses (2.1, 2.2) of the individual vehicles (1.1, 1.2) via the coupling elements (6.1.1, 6.2.2) coupled to a single, the entire train comprehensive bus. Communication across the coupling elements is transparent to the bus subscribers.
