Abstract

The invention relates to a method and arrangement for determining distances between points along a track, which are intended for the positioning of rail devices, in particular reference beacons on a beacon group. A distance measurement which is simple and can be handled flexibly in time is characterized in that reference marks are arranged adjacent to the rail points, are identified by means of a reading device travelling on the rail, and their distance is determined on the basis of the distance travelled between two reference marks.

Verfahren und Anordnung zur Ermittlung von Abständen zwischen Punkten entlang eines GleisesMethod and arrangement for determining distances between points along a track

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Anordnung zur Ermittlung von Abständen zwischen Punkten entlang eines Gleises, welche für die Positionierung von Gleiseinrichtungen, insbesondere Referenzbalisen einer Balisengruppe, vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining distances between points along a track, which are provided for the positioning of track devices, in particular Referenzbalisen a Balisengruppe.

Die Kenntnis exakter Abstände zwischen Gleispunkten ist in der Eisenbahnsicherungstechnik von besonderer Bedeutung. Abstände werden in der Stellwerkstechnik beispielsweise im Zu- sammenhang mit Gefahrenpunkten, Durchrutschwegen und Schutzstrecken sowie bei Bremskurvenbetrachtung, Signalabständen und bezüglich der Mindestsichtbarkeit von Signalen erforderlich. Für diese unterschiedlichen abstandsrelevanten Aufgabenstellungen gelten verschiedene Toleranzbereiche, die im jeweiligen Regelwerk vorgegeben und beschrieben sind.The knowledge of exact distances between track points is of particular importance in railway safety technology. Distances are required in interlocking technology, for example, in connection with danger points, landslides and protective distances, as well as when considering braking curves, signal distances and the minimum visibility of signals. For these different distance-relevant tasks different tolerance ranges apply, which are specified and described in the respective rules.

Mit der Einführung moderner Zugsicherungssysteme, beispiels¬ weise ETCS (European Train Control System) , kommt der Einhal¬ tung sehr enger Toleranzbereiche bei der Abstandsermittlung zwischen Referenzbalisen einer Balisengruppe eine entschei¬ dende Bedeutung zu. Als Referenzbalise wird dabei eine be¬ stimmte Balise einer Balisengruppe bezeichnet, auf die alle Informationen bezogen werden. Es ist erforderlich, dass der Gleispunkt, an dem die Referenzbalise montiert werden soll oder montiert ist, innerhalb eines vereinbarten Toleranzfens¬ ters liegt. Nicht im Toleranzfenster vorgefundene Balisen- gruppen werden von einem Schienenfahrzeug nicht erkannt, was zu einer vorher definierten Reaktion, beispielsweise Meldung oder Zwangsbremsung, führt. Grundlage für die Programmierung der Position von Referenzbalisen oder anderen Gleiseinrichtungen in einem Bordgerät des Schienenfahrzeugs ist eine Do¬ kumentation des Betreibers. Die theoretisch vorgesehenen Positionen gemäß der Betreiberdokumentationen stimmen häufig nicht mit den tatsächlichen Einbauorten der Gleiseinrichtungen überein. Diese Positionierungsfehler sind überwiegend unbekannt und auch nicht derart in Toleranzfenster eingrenzbar, dass für die Programmierung der Bordgeräte akzeptable Annah¬ men getroffen werden können.With the introduction of advanced train control systems, example ¬ as ETCS (European Train Control System), the Einhal ¬ comes tung very narrow tolerance ranges in the distance determination between Referenzbalisen a balise group a decisive ¬ Dende importance. This one be ¬ is true beacon called a balise group, related to the complete information as Referenzbalise. It is necessary that the track point at which the reference balise is to be mounted or mounted lies within an agreed tolerance window . Balancing groups not found in the tolerance window are not recognized by a rail vehicle, which leads to a previously defined reaction, for example, notification or emergency braking. Basis for the programming the position of Referenzbalisen or other track devices in an onboard unit of the rail vehicle is a Do ¬ documentation of the operator. The theoretical positions according to the operator documentation are often inconsistent with the actual installation locations of the track devices. This positioning errors are mostly unknown and not so in tolerance window be delimited, can be made that men for programming the onboard equipment acceptable Annah ¬.

Weiterhin kann sich eine Änderung des ursprünglich vorgesehenen Einbauortes der Balisen ergeben, beispielsweise aufgrund örtlicher Probleme, wie einer defekten Eisenbahnschwelle, die als Montagesockel nicht geeignet ist.Furthermore, a change of the originally intended installation location of the balises may result, for example due to local problems, such as a defective railway sleeper, which is not suitable as a mounting base.

Grundsätzlich lässt sich die Akzeptanz eines Positionierungs¬ fehlers erst prüfen, wenn erste Abnahmefahrten auf dem Streckenabschnitt stattgefunden haben und damit Ergebnisse zu Le¬ sefehlern von Referenzbalisen bzw. Balisengruppen vorliegen. Dazu ist eine nachträgliche Vermessung der tatsächlichen Ab¬ stände zwischen den Referenzbalisen erforderlich. Üblicherweise werden dazu Messverfahren mittels Bandmaß, Laufrad oder gleisgeometrischer Vermessung eingesetzt. Diese Verfahren sind zeit- und kostenaufwändig. Außerdem ist nicht sicherge- stellt, dass die ermittelten Daten den tatsächlichen Abstand widerspiegeln, da Ungenauigkeiten, insbesondere aufgrund von Längendifferenzen zwischen rechter und linker Schiene sowie Gleisbögen, mittels Bandmaß oder Laufrad kaum vermeidbar sind. Bei der gleisgeometrischen Vermessung werden Spezialis- ten benötigt, die ihrerseits auf Vermessungsdaten des Gleis¬ baus und auf die Bereitstellung von Festpunkten aus einem öffentlichen Netz angewiesen sind. Besonders nachteilig bei dem bekannten Verfahren ist der Zeitaufwand für die Ermittlung der korrekten Abstände, da diese erst nach dem Einbau der Gleiseinrichtungen, insbesondere Referenzbalisen, möglich ist. Die Inbetriebnahme eines neuen Streckenabschnitts kann dadurch verzögert werden.Basically, the acceptance of a positioning error ¬ can check first if the first acceptance runs have taken place on the stretch and results to Le ¬ sefehlern be of Referenzbalisen or balise 'groups. For this purpose, a subsequent measurement of the actual From ¬ stands required between the Referenzbalisen. Usually, measuring methods by means of tape measure, impeller or track geometry measurement are used. These procedures are time consuming and costly. In addition, it is not ensured that the data obtained reflect the actual distance, since inaccuracies, in particular due to differences in length between right and left rail and track curves, by tape measure or impeller are hardly avoidable. In the track geometry measurement specialists are required ten, which in turn are dependent on measurement data of the track ¬ construction and the provision of fixed points from a public network. Particularly disadvantageous in the known method is the time required for the determination of the correct distances, since this is possible only after the installation of the track devices, in particular Referenzbalisen. The commissioning of a new section can be delayed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung der gattungsgemäßen Art anzugeben, die eine exakte Vermessung der Abstände zwischen Gleispunkten, die für die Positionierung von Gleiseinrichtungen vorgesehen sind, ermöglicht .The invention has for its object to provide a method and an arrangement of the generic type, which allows an exact measurement of the distances between track points, which are provided for the positioning of track devices allows.

Verfahrensgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass an den Punkten Referenzmarken angeordnet werden, die mittels einer das Gleis abfahrenden Leseeinrichtung erkannt werden und deren Abstand anhand des abgefahrenen Weges zwischen zwei Refe¬ renzmarken ermittelt wird. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, Positionen für Gleiseinrichtungen abstandsmäßig auszumessen, bevor die Gleiseinrichtungen montiert werden. Daraus resultiert ein Zeitgewinn für die Inbetriebnahme des Gleisabschnittes .According to the method, the object is achieved in that reference marks are arranged at the points, which are detected by means of a track departing reading device and whose distance is determined on the basis of the traveled path between two Refe ¬ rence marks. In this way, there is the possibility to measure positions for track devices distance before the track devices are mounted. This results in a time saving for the commissioning of the track section.

Die Referenzmarken werden nur einmalig für den Abstandsmess- zweck verwendet. Abstandsmessungen zum Vergleich der tatsäch- liehen Abstände mit den theoretisch vorgesehenen Abständen gemäß vorhandener Dokumentationen im Anschluss an die Montage der Gleiseinrichtungen, insbesondere Referenzbalisen einer Balisengruppe, sind nicht mehr notwendig.The reference marks are only used once for the distance measurement purpose. Distance measurements for comparing the actual distances with the theoretically provided distances according to existing documentation following the installation of the track devices, in particular reference balises a balise group, are no longer necessary.

Andererseits kann bei einem bereits mit Gleiseinrichtungen ausgerüsteten Streckenabschnitt nachträglich mit Hilfe der Referenzmarken eine schnelle und genaue Nachmessung der Abstände zwischen den Gleiseinrichtungen durchgeführt werden. Die maschinenlesbaren Referenzmarken werden durch eine über das Gleis fahrende Leseeinrichtung, beispielsweise nach Art eines Scanners, erkannt und einem Punkt im Gleis zugeordnet, wobei eine Auswerteeinrichtung den Abstand zwischen zwei Re- ferenzmarken anhand des abgefahrenen Weges im Gleis ermit¬ telt.On the other hand, in the case of a track section already equipped with track devices, a quick and accurate remeasurement of the distances between the track devices can subsequently be carried out with the aid of the reference marks. The machine-readable reference marks are detected by a traveling over the track reading means, for example by way of a scanner, and associated with a point in the track, wherein an evaluation ermit the distance between two reference marks based on the worn path in the track ¬ telt.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 sind die Referenzmarken mit gleispunktspezi- fischen Codemustern versehen, die von der Leseeinrichtung gescannt werden. Denkbar ist aber auch eine anders artige ma¬ schinenlesbare Kennzeichnung der Referenzmarken auf der Eisenbahnschwelle, die für die Positionierung der Gleiseinrichtung vorgesehen ist oder auf der die Gleiseinrichtung bereits montiert ist.According to claim 2, the reference marks are provided with point-specific code patterns which are scanned by the reading device. Conceivable is also a different kind of ma ¬ schin readable identification of the reference marks on the railroad tie, which is provided for the positioning of the rail track or on the track the device is already mounted.

Zur Erhöhung der Genauigkeit der Abstandsermittlung ist gemäß Anspruch 3 vorgesehen, dass die Referenzmarken mittig zwischen den Schienen des Gleises angeordnet werden und dass schienenmittige Abstände ermittelt werden. Die resultierenden Genauigkeiten können damit gegenüber dem bekannten Laufrad auf einer Schiene des Gleises deutlich verbessert werden. Ei¬ ne für die Positionierung von Referenzbalisen für ETCS anzustrebende maximale Abweichung von 1 m auf 2500 m ist damit erreichbar .To increase the accuracy of the distance determination is provided according to claim 3, that the reference marks are arranged centrally between the rails of the track and that rail center distances are determined. The resulting accuracies can thus be significantly improved compared to the known impeller on a track of the track. Eg ¬ ¬ ne for the positioning of Referenzbalisen for ETCS aspired maximum deviation of 1 m to 2500 m is thus achievable.

Vorzugsweise werden die Referenzmarken gemäß Anspruch 4 vor der Positionierung der Gleiseinrichtungen entfernt. Die Referenzmarken dienen nur dem Zweck der einmaligen Lesbarkeit beim Überfahren durch die Leseeinrichtung. Anschließend kön- nen die Referenzmarken entfernt und vernichtet werden. Denkbar ist jedoch auch eine Wiederverwendung, sofern Verwechslungen des zugeordneten Gleispunktes ausgeschlossen werden können. Dieser Aspekt ist zu beachten, wenn eineindeutiger Bezug der gelesenen Referenzmarke in automatisierter Form zu einem schematisierten Lageplan hergestellt werden soll.Preferably, the reference marks are removed according to claim 4 before the positioning of the track devices. The reference marks are only for the purpose of one-time readability when driving over the reading device. Subsequently, the reference marks can be removed and destroyed. However, it is also conceivable reuse, if confusion of the assigned track point can be excluded. This aspect should be considered when one-to-one Reference the read reference mark in automated form to a schematic site plan to be produced.

Die Referenzmarken können aber auch im Gleis verbleiben, da sie durch die später zu montierende Gleiseinrichtung sowieso verdeckt werden.However, the reference marks can also remain in the track, as they will anyway be concealed by the later-to-install track device.

Eine Anordnung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 5, wobei vorgesehen ist, dass an den Gleispunk- ten Referenzmarken angeordnet sind, die mittels einer das Gleis abfahrenden Leseeinrichtung erkennbar sind und deren Abstand anhand des abgefahrenen Weges zwischen zwei Referenzmarken ermittelbar ist.An arrangement for carrying out the method is the subject matter of claim 5, wherein it is provided that reference marks are arranged at the track points, which are recognizable by means of a reading device departing the track and whose distance can be determined on the basis of the traveled path between two reference marks.

Die Verwendung von Referenzmarken - vor oder nach der Montage von Gleiseinrichtungen - ist bei dichter Anordnung von Gleiseinrichtungen besonders vorteilhaft, da zeitsparend. Bei¬ spielsweise bei einem Bahnhof mit einfacher Gleistopologie können 20 und mehr Referenzmarken erforderlich sein. The use of reference marks - before or after the installation of track devices - is particularly advantageous in a dense arrangement of track devices, as time-saving. In ¬ play, in a train station with a simple track topology 20 or more reference marks may be required.
