Definitions

  • the invention relates to a railway warning device for warning road users before the approach of railway vehicles to hazard zones with built-in railway vehicles respectively proximity signaling devices having a data radio unit for sending a proximity warning signal via radio directly or indirectly to other road users, and with warning signal devices for installation in vehicles of other road users a data radio unit for receiving proximity warning signals.
  • the invention further relates to an approach signal device and a warning signal device for this purpose.
  • railroad crossings as intersections between railway lines and roadways have a high risk potential. They are currently protected by optical and acoustic signals as well as by barrier systems. Specially secured level crossings are checked for obstacles to avoid collisions and only released for the train if there are no obstacles located on the railroad crossing. However, this is not the case at all secured level crossings.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved railway warning device, with a simple and inexpensive way without interference with the control technology of the railway network, a warning of road users from hazards in hazardous zones by approaching railway vehicles is made possible.
  • the proximity signal devices have access to a current location position of the railway vehicle and a list of location positions of hazardous zones and has a signal control unit to function of the position of the next listed in the list hazard zone repeatedly sending a proximity warning signal to the radio station and having the warning signal devices in the vehicle-mounted state access the current location of the respective vehicle to receive the proximity warning signal upon receipt of the proximity warning signal in response to the current location of the vehicle and the location of the vehicle Hazard zone to generate a warning signal.
  • the uni-directional emission of an approach warning signal from the railway vehicle as a broadcasting signal when approaching a hazardous zone, such as a railroad crossing has the advantage that can be done without interference with control and control systems of the railway network in a simple way warning of equipped with warning signal devices road users.
  • the transmission of the approach warning signal is carried out as a function of the distance between the current location position of the railway vehicle and the position of the next listed in a list hazard zone, so that of the other road users in a simple way a possible collision on the relevant Hazardous zone can be estimated.
  • the proximity warning signal here denotes a current potential risk of collision.
  • the generation of a warning signal by the warning signal device is not carried out in coordination with the approach signal device in the railway vehicle, but self-sufficient on the basis of the current position of the vehicle and the position of the respective hazard zone.
  • a current proximity warning signal should be constantly transmitted repeatedly.
  • a traffic signal center which transmits current approach warning signals as part of broadcast signals comparable to known TMC traffic reports in the traffic message channel analog broadcast signals or preferably in the TPEG protocol (Transport Protocol Experts Group) of a digital broadcast signal in the DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) standard.
  • TPEG protocol Transport Protocol Experts Group
  • DAB Digital Audio Broadcast
  • the spatial position of the hazardous zone can be transmitted, for example, as hazard zone identification in the proximity warning signal.
  • hazard zone identification in the proximity warning signal.
  • only one hazard zone identification in the proximity warning signal is transmitted to the road users.
  • On the basis of a digital map can then be read from the warning signal device from the hazard zone identification, the associated location position.
  • these location locations may be uniquely identifiable in the WGS 84 coordinate system.
  • the approach signal device and / or the warning signal device is preferably connectable to a satellite positioning module for determining the current position of the associated vehicle.
  • the satellite positioning module can be completely or partially self-contained or integrated in the corresponding signaling device.
  • the minimum distance between the railway vehicle and hazard zone, upon reaching the approach warning signal is emitted, for example, can be entered by the driver in the approach signal device. It can also be variably calculated based on control parameters. Such control parameters can, for. As the speed of the railway vehicle and the weather. The speed of the railway vehicle and the minimum distance to be set results in a time until the hazardous zone is reached. From the weather, braking distances can be derived for typical vehicles. The longest assumed braking distance determines the minimum warning time, which in turn determines the minimum distance with a factor.
  • a railway warning device 1 which is constructed as a system of a plurality of approach signal devices 2 and warning signal devices 3.
  • the approach signal devices 2 are here installed in railway vehicles. The degree of expansion can be increased gradually, without affecting the functionality of the system itself.
  • the approach signal devices 2 can be connected to satellite positioning modules 4, which are often already present in railway vehicles, for determining the current spatial position of the railway vehicle.
  • satellite positioning module 4 can be completely or partially integrated into the approach signal device 2.
  • a signal control unit 5 of the proximity signal device 2 is stored with data memory 6 in which a digital map with hazardous zones.
  • hazard zones can be, for example, railroad crossings, which are identified with identifiers and location positions, for example in WGS 85 coordinates.
  • the transmission of an approach warning signal via a data radio module 7 of the proximity signal device 2 is triggered by the control unit 5 when a predetermined minimum distance is reached.
  • This proximity alert signal is unidirectional directly to the environment of the railway vehicle or transmitted for indirect distribution to a traffic control center (V).
  • the warning signal devices 3 which can be installed in motor vehicles of other road users have a data radio unit 8 tuned to the transmission frequency of the radio data modules 7 of the approach signal devices 2 or to the reception of proximity warning signals for directly receiving the proximity warning signals in the vicinity of the hazardous zone or for indirect reception.
  • the traffic control center (V) causes a transmission of the current proximity warning signals in the TPEG protocol of a DAB broadcast signal.
  • the warning signal devices 3 also have a control unit 9, which is connected to the data radio unit 8 and an internal or external satellite positioning module 10 for determining the current position of the motor vehicle. From the current spatial position and an identifier sent in the proximity warning signal of the hazardous zone is then determined in the control unit 9 of the warning signal device 3, whether a hazard exists. Then an audible or visual warning signal is output and possibly even actively intervened in the vehicle control.
  • the current spatial position of the hazard zone can be transmitted as part of the approach warning signal from the approach signal devices 2. But it is also conceivable that the warning signal devices 3 have access to data storage 11, in which also identifiers of hazardous zones, such. B. are stored only local positions. This can be realized, for example, in conjunction with a conventional navigation system. For this case, it is only necessary that the request warning signal transmits a unique identifier of the hazardous zone, such as a railroad crossing.
  • the approach warning signal transmits both a spatial position of the hazardous zone and another identifier and the warning signal devices 3 optionally evaluate one of these information or redundancy both information.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sketch of a railway train 12 which moves on a railway track 13 in the direction of a railroad crossing 14.
  • the railroad crossing 14 forms an intersection with a road 15, on which motor vehicles 16 approach the railroad crossing 14.
  • the signal control unit 5 of the approach signal devices 2 determines the distance to the next railroad crossing 14, that is to the next hazardous zone. This is done, for example, by means of position determination and comparison with a digital map on which the position or positions of hazardous zones are stored.
  • the signal control unit 5 of the approach signal devices 2 starts from the maximum necessary braking distance. It is assumed that the brakes of a motor vehicle 16 are working properly and the tires of the motor vehicle 16 of the season is appropriate. In addition to cars and buses and trucks and motorized two-wheelers should be included in the consideration, so that the warning signal device 3 can also be implemented in these vehicles.
  • the control unit 9 of the warning signal devices 3 in the motor vehicles also determines the spatial position of the motor vehicle.
  • the received identification of the level crossing 14 is to be compared with the distance ahead of the motor vehicle 16. If the level crossing 14 in the probable route of the motor vehicle, it is checked by the control unit 9 of the warning signal device 3, if the vehicle speed of the motor vehicle of the situation that a train 12 approaches the level crossing 14, and the distance of the motor vehicle 16 to the danger point is appropriate. When the speed is excessive for the situation, the control unit 9 of the warning signal device 3 generates a warning signal which indicates to the driver both visually and acoustically the potential danger at the level crossing 14. For the output of the warning signal or complete or partial realization of the warning signal device 3, a possibly existing navigation system or car radio can be used.
  • the warning signal only becomes active when the motor vehicle 16 approaches the level crossing 14 at a speed inadequate for the situation, that is to say when comfortable braking, as expected by an attentive, responsible driver, is no longer possible.
  • the driver can then initiate emergency braking in good time, but is not unnecessarily irritated or even annoyed by the acoustic message.
  • warning signal device 3 has an optionally usable interface for connecting navigation devices for data exchange or is integrated in such a navigation device.
