Abstract

The invention relates to a method for route control in relay control units by means of a remote control, wherein, it is possible, in particular for temporal bridging of tracks which are to be worked on, to install road blocks for certain elements, in particular tracks and point switches, communication tracks comprising control routes and diversions. In order to safely prevent a route control for the road blocks the routes are projected as diversions in the relay control unit such that the elements of the possible communication track are projected for each route in the remote control and that road blocks used on the elements of the route which is to be controlled are tested by means of remote control and the position of the point switches which are to be driven to a point are tested and, optionally, adapted for the communication track. A deviation command is transmitted to the relay control unit when no road blocks are used for said communication track and the position of the points switches which are to be driven are adapted to the position of projection in the remote control.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Fahrstraßeneinstellung bei Relaisstellwerken gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for route setting in relay interlocking according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus betrieblichen Gründen ist es gelegentlich erforderlich, insbesondere zum Schutz von Gleisbauarbeitern, sicherzustellen, dass das entsprechende Gleis nicht befahren wird. Dazu werden Befahrbarkeitssperren gesetzt, welche als Relaisgruppen im Relaisstellwerk nachgerüstet werden und auf die Spur des Spurplanstellwerkes wirken. Diese Befahrbarkeitssperren können mittels einer Fernbedienung von außerhalb des Relaisstellwerkes bedient werden. Bei der üblichen Start-Ziel-Projektierung sucht das Stellwerk aus den möglichen Fahrwegen zwischen Start und Ziel nach einer hierarchischen Ordnung einen geeigneten Fahrweg heraus. Dieser Fahrweg darf nicht durch ein anderes Fahrzeug belegt oder quasi vorbestellt sein und auf keinem seiner Gleiselemente Befahrbarkeitssperren aufweisen. Die Befahrbarkeitssperren in Form der oben genannten Relaisgruppen müssen nachgerüstet werden. Dazu ist ein kostenintensiver und problematischer Umbau unter "rollendem Rad", d. h. im laufenden Betrieb erforderlich. Häufig ist eine Nachrüstung auch aus Platzgründen nicht möglich. Um eine Nachrüstung im Relaisstellwerk zu sparen, können die Befahrbarkeitssperren außerhalb des Relaisstellwerks in der Fernsteuerung installiert werden, die ihrerseits die Ausgabe eines Fahrstraßenkommandos verhindert, wenn die Befahrbarkeitssperre in der Fernsteuerung gesetzt ist. Bei Relais-Spurplanstellwerken ist davon auszugehen, dass die Fahrstraßenwahl nicht sicherungstechnisch erfolgt und im Fehlerfall bei bedienter Regelfahrstraße vom Relaisstellwerk eine Umfahrstraße eingestellt wird. Ist für ein Gleis dieses abweichenden Fahrweges eine Befahrbarkeitssperre außerhalb des Relaisstellwerks gesetzt, hindert diese das Relaisstellwerk nicht, den Fahrweg über das gesperrte Gleis einzustellen.For operational reasons, it is sometimes necessary, especially for the protection of railroad workers, to ensure that the corresponding track is not used. For this purpose, drivability barriers are set, which are retrofitted as relay groups in the relay interlocking and act on the track of Spurplanstellwerkes. These drivability barriers can be operated by remote control from outside the relay interlocking. In the usual start-destination configuration, the interlocking seeks a suitable route out of the possible routes between start and destination according to a hierarchical order. This track must not be occupied by another vehicle or virtually pre-ordered and have on any of its track elements verhufbarkeitssperren. The drivability barriers in the form of the above-mentioned relay groups must be retrofitted. This is a costly and problematic conversion under "rolling wheel", ie during operation required. Often retrofitting is not possible, even for reasons of space. To save retrofitting in the relay interlocking, the drivability locks can be installed outside the relay interlocking in the remote control, which in turn prevents the output of a driveway command when the drivability lock is set in the remote control. In the case of relay track layout interlocking systems, it must be assumed that the route choice is not made in terms of safety and, in the case of an error, if the service is operated Regelfahrstraße from the relay interlocking a Umfahrstraße is set. If, for a track of this deviating track, a drivability lock is set outside the relay interlocking, this does not prevent the relay interlocking station from setting the track over the blocked track.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Fahrstraßeneinstellung der gattungsgemäßen Art anzugeben, welches den sicherungstechnischen Anforderungen genügt, wobei ein Einbau von zusätzlichen Relaisgruppen in das Stellwerk zu vermeiden ist.The invention has for its object to provide a method for driving route adjustment of the generic type, which satisfies the safety requirements, with an installation of additional relay groups in the interlocking is to be avoided.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Anstelle der Start-Ziel-Projektierung werden die Fahrstraßen im Relais-Stellwerk als Umfahrstraßen projektiert. Das bedeutet in der Praxis, dass die im Allgemeinen vorhandene Start-Ziel-Projektierung deaktiviert, d. h. ausgebaut wird. Dadurch erfolgt das Einstellen von Zug- und Rangierfahrstraßen immer als Umfahrstraßenbedienung. Das bedeutet, dass Weichen nicht mehr automatisch umgestellt werden und somit vor der Ausgabe des Umfahrstraßenkommandos in die gewünschte Lage gestellt werden müssen. In der Fernbedienung werden für jede Fahrstraße die möglichen Fahrwege mit dem erforderlichen Meldezustand der spitz zu befahrenden Weichen projektiert. Dadurch ist die Fernbedienung in der Lage, nicht nur die Elemente der einzustellenden Fahrstraße auf gesetzte Befahrbarkeitssperren zu prüfen, sondern auch die Lagezustände der Weichen auf korrekte Lage zu überprüfen. Ein Umfahrstraßenkommando wird erst dann an das Relaisstellwerk ausgegeben, wenn für einen bestimmten Fahrweg die Einstellbedingungen erfüllt sind, d. h., wenn für diesen Fahrweg keine Befahrbarkeitssperren gesetzt sind und die Weichenlagezustände mit den in der Fernbedienung gespeicherten Weichenlagezuständen übereinstimmen.According to the invention the object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Instead of the start-destination configuration, the routes in the relay interlocking are configured as bypass routes. In practice, this means that the generally available start-destination configuration is deactivated, ie expanded. As a result, the setting of train and maneuvering roads is always done as Umfahrstraßenbedienung. This means that turnouts no longer have to be changed over automatically and thus have to be set to the desired position before the circulation road command is issued. In the remote control, the possible routes with the required message status of the turnouts are planned for each route. As a result, the remote control is able to check not only the elements of the driveway to be set to set driveability barriers, but also to check the position states of the points on correct position. A Umfahrstrassenkommando will only be issued to the relay interlocking, if the setting conditions are met for a particular route, ie, if for this route no verhreibbarkeitssperren are set and the points state conditions match the points stored in the remote control switch state.

Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass in fernzusteuernden Relaisstellwerken keine zusätzlichen Umbaumaßnahmen erforderlich werden. Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten zusätzlichen Relaisgruppen entfallen. Die Fahrstraßenbedingungen werden in der Fernsteuerung per Projektierung eingegeben, so dass auch hier kein zusätzlicher Hardwareaufwand entsteht.In this way, it is achieved that in fernzuscheuverernden relay interlocks no additional conversion measures are required. The additional relay groups known from the prior art are eliminated. The route conditions are entered in the remote control by configuration, so that no additional hardware effort arises here.

Eine eventuell vorhandene automatische Zuglenkung ist dahingehend zu erweitern, dass sie vor Ausgabe eines Umfahrstraßenkommandos die zu befahrenden Weichen überprüft und gegebenenfalls in die gewünschte Lage stellt.Any existing automatic train steering is to be extended to the extent that it checks the course to be traveled before issuing a Umfahrstrassenkommandos and possibly places in the desired position.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer figürlichen Darstellung näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a figurative representation.

Die Figur zeigt einen Mustergleisplan.The figure shows a sample track plan.

Es ist ersichtlich, dass zwischen dem Signal S1 -Start - und dem Signal S2 - Ziel- zwei verschiedene Fahrwege einstellbar sind, nämlich ein Regelfahrweg von dem Signal S1 über die Weiche W1, das Gleis G11 und die Weiche W2 zum Signal S2 oder ein Umfahrweg von dem Signal S1 über die Weiche W1, das Gleis G12, die Weiche W3 und die Weiche W2 zum Signal S2.It can be seen that two different travel paths can be set between the signal S1 -start and the signal S2-target-namely a control path from the signal S1 via the switch W1, the track G11 and the switch W2 to the signal S2 or a detour path from the signal S1 via the shunt W1, the track G12, the shunt W3 and the shunt W2 to the signal S2.

Wenn das Gleis G12 mit einer Befahrbarkeitssperre belegt ist, darf nur der Regelfahrweg über das Gleis G11 eingestellt werden. Bei der bekannten Start-Ziel-Projektierung könnte bei einer Störung im Relaisstellwerk dennoch der Umfahrweg über das Gleis G12 eingestellt werden. Die Befahrbarkeitssperre in der Fernbedienung für das Gleis G12 würde diese Fahrstraßeneinstellung über Gleis G12 nicht verhindern.If track G12 is assigned a driveability barrier, only the standard track may be adjusted via track G11. In the case of a fault in the relay interlocking, in the known start-destination configuration the detour path could still be set via track G12. The drivability barrier in the remote control for track G12 would not prevent this route setting via track G12.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Start-Ziel-Projektierung, d. h. die Regelfahrstraßeneinstellung deaktiviert. Bei einer Befahrbarkeitssperre auf Gleis G12 wird hierbei zunächst die Weiche W1 in Linkslage gestellt und überprüft, ob dieser Weichenlagezustand vorhanden ist und anschließend wird von der Fernbedienung ein Umfahrstraßenkommando von Signal S1 nach Signal S2 über das Gleis G11 ausgegeben. Ein Ignorieren dieser Fahrwegeinstellung ist nicht möglich, da die automatische Fahrwegwahl mit automatischer Weichenumstellung deaktiviert wurde.According to the invention, the start-destination configuration, i. H. deactivated the standard route setting. In the case of a drivability lock on track G12, the switch W1 is first placed in the left-side position and it is checked whether this switch-track state is present and subsequently a detour road command is issued by the remote control from signal S1 to signal S2 via track G11. It is not possible to ignore this route setting because automatic route selection with automatic switchover has been deactivated.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird erreicht, dass das Relaisstellwerk infolge einer Unterbrechung der Verbindung zwischen der Fernbedienung und dem Relaisstellwerk kein Umfahrstraßenkommando empfangen würde, so dass sich keine Fahrstraße einstellen kann und jede weitere Fahrstraßeneinstellung quasi blockiert ist. Diese Art von Fehler ist leichte detektierbar und kann nicht zu Fehlinterpretationen oder gefährlichen Fahrstraßeneinstellungen führen.By the method according to the invention it is achieved that the relay interlocking would receive no Umfahrstrassenkommando due to an interruption of the connection between the remote control and the relay interlocking, so that no route can be set and any further route setting is virtually blocked. This type of error is easily detectable and can not lead to misinterpretations or dangerous driveway settings.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich nicht auf das vorstehend angegebene Ausführungsbeispiel. Vielmehr ist eine Anzahl von Varianten denkbar, welche auch bei grundsätzlich anders gearteter Ausführung von den Merkmalen der Erfindung Gebrauch machen. The invention is not limited to the embodiment given above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable, which make use of the features of the invention even with fundamentally different type of execution.
