A train control manager (5) is provided for checking authorization of configuration of the control system. The control manager activates the control system based on the information and has a register.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schienenfahrzeug mit mindestens einem Zugsicherungssystem.The invention relates to a rail vehicle with at least one train protection system.

Bisher wurden Lokomotiven und Züge mit länderspezifischen Zugsicherungssystemen ausgerüstet und in die Länder geliefert, in denen die Fahrzeuge grundsätzlich fahren sollen. Diese Zugsicherungssysteme bilden mit dem Fahrzeug eine feste, zugelassene Einheit.So far, locomotives and trains have been equipped with country-specific train protection systems and delivered to the countries in which the vehicles should in principle run. These train protection systems form a fixed, approved unit with the vehicle.

Da zunehmend Fahrzeuge von Leasinggesellschaften gekauft werden, ist nicht von vornherein klar, in welchen Ländern der jeweilige Betreiber die Fahrzeuge einsetzen wird, so dass entweder zu viele Zugsicherungssysteme on board sind oder Zugsicherungssysteme fehlen und aufwändig nachgerüstet werden müssen. Aber auch staatliche Bahngesellschaften operieren zunehmend international und müssen flexibel auf Transportbedarfe reagieren können. Die Fahrzeuge selber sind aufgrund ihrer Antriebskonzepte - bis zu vier unterschiedliche Stromabnehmersysteme oder Dieselantrieb - im wesentlich nur durch die Zugsicherung in ihrer Einsetzbarkeit begrenzt.Since vehicles are increasingly being bought by leasing companies, it is not clear from the outset in which countries the respective operator will use the vehicles, so that either too many train protection systems are on board or train control systems are missing and expensive retrofitting is required. But state railway companies are also increasingly operating internationally and must be able to react flexibly to transport requirements. The vehicles themselves are due to their drive concepts - up to four different pantograph systems or diesel drive - essentially limited only by the Zugsicherung in their applicability.

Eine systemische Betrachtung der mit der europäischen Zugsicherung verbundenen Prozesse, Systeme und Regeln bezogen auf Hersteller, Betreiber und Behörden zeigt, dass das System Zugsicherung, d. h. die Summe aller alten Zugsicherungssysteme - nachfolgend Altsysteme genannt - sowie ETCS - European Train Control System - neu konzipiert werden muss, um zukünftigen Anforderungen zu genügen und dass hierfür die technischen Voraussetzungen fehlen.A systemic analysis of the processes, systems and rules related to the European train control system with regard to manufacturers, operators and authorities shows that the system train protection, ie the sum of all old train protection systems - hereafter referred to as legacy systems - as well as ETCS - European Train Control System - are redesigned in order to meet future requirements and that the technical prerequisites are missing.

Das Problem ist die starre Kombination von verschiedenen, nationalen Zugsicherungssystem mit einem speziellen Fahrzeugtyp.The problem is the rigid combination of different, national train protection system with a special vehicle type.

Dies führt zu erheblichem Platzbedarf - bis zu drei 19"-Schränke - und erheblichem Fahrzeuggewicht, verbunden mit Achslastproblemen, sowie hohen Lifecycle- und Investitionskosten - bis zu 30% des Gesamtfahrzeugpreises.This leads to considerable space requirements - up to three 19 "cabinets - and considerable vehicle weight, combined with axle load problems, as well as high lifecycle and investment costs - up to 30% of the total vehicle price.

Dieses Problem wird durch die Einführung von ETCS weiter verschärft, da ein zusätzliches System in diesen starren Verbund eingefügt wird. Erst langfristig werden Altsysteme durch ETCS abgelöst. Bis dahin müssen die Fahrzeuge doppelt ausgerüstet werden.This problem is further exacerbated by the introduction of ETCS as an additional system is being added to this rigid composite. Only in the long term will legacy systems be replaced by ETCS. Until then, the vehicles must be equipped twice.

Bisher wurde auf den Fahrzeugen der Maximalausbau mit Altsystemen realisiert, um alle vorstellbaren Einsatzfälle abzudecken oder es wurden die befahrbaren Länder beschränkt oder aufwändige Nachrüstungen wurden durchgeführt.Up to now, the vehicles have been equipped with a maximum of old systems to cover all imaginable applications, or the passable countries have been limited or expensive retrofits have been carried out.

In Einzelfällen wird versucht, Altsysteme mit dem zusätzlich benötigten ETCS zu kombinieren - Bi-Lösungen. Beispielsweise mit USSB - Universal STM Safe Box - wird die Weiternutzung alter Zugsicherungssysteme ermöglicht, indem STMs - Specific Transmission Modules - für den ETCS-Betrieb verwendet werden. Dies führt aber nicht zur Reduktion von Systemen auf dem Fahrzeug und dient nicht dem flexiblen Einsatz von Altsystemen je nach Fahrauftrag.In individual cases an attempt is made to combine legacy systems with the additionally required ETCS - bi-solutions. For example, USSB - Universal STM Safe Box - enables the reuse of old train protection systems by using STMs - Specific Transmission Modules - for ETCS operation. However, this does not lead to the reduction of systems on the vehicle and does not serve the flexible use of legacy systems depending on the driving order.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Zusammenspiel aller Altsysteme auf dem Fahrzeug zu verbessern. Die Altsysteme sollen flexibel eingesetzt oder abgelöst werden können. Starre Kopplung Zugsicherungssysteme/Fahrzeug sollen vermieden werden.The invention has for its object to improve the interaction of all legacy systems on the vehicle. The legacy systems should be able to be used flexibly or replaced. Rigid coupling train protection systems / vehicle should be avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird durch Einführung einer Schnittstelle "Train Control Manager" - TCM - gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Der TCM wird fester Bestandteil des Fahrzeugs und ermöglicht als Plattform den flexiblen Ein- und Ausbau von Altsystemen, d. h. von sogenannten Class B-Zugsicherungssystemen. Der TCM ist vorzugsweise eine signaltechnisch sichere Funktion auf einer SIL4-HW, die vorhandene Class B-Zugsicherungssysteme und den Fahrzeugtyp sicher erkennt und mit den erlaubten Konfigurationen Schienenfahrzeugtyp/Zugsicherungssystem automatisch vergleicht. Der TCM prüft, ob die gewählte Konfiguration zugelassen ist und ermöglicht oder verweigert dem Triebfahrzeugführer über ein Driver-Machine Interface - DMI - mittels plug&play Funktionalität die Aktivierung und Bedienung der verschiedenen Systeme.The object is achieved by introducing an interface "Train Control Manager" - TCM - according to claim 1. The TCM becomes an integral part of the vehicle and, as a platform, enables the flexible installation and dismantling of legacy systems. H. of so-called Class B train protection systems. The TCM is preferably a fail-safe function on a SIL4-HW that reliably detects existing Class B train protection systems and the vehicle type and automatically compares with the allowed configurations of the rail vehicle type / train protection system. The TCM checks whether the selected configuration is approved and allows or denies the driver via a driver-machine interface - DMI - using plug & play functionality, the activation and operation of the various systems.

Durch die Trennung der Einheit Zugsicherungssysteme/Fahrzeug und da nicht alle möglichen Kombinationen von Altsystemen zu einer Zeit gebraucht werden, müssen nur die tatsächlich benötigten Systeme mitgenommen werden. Daraus resultieren insbesondere folgende Vorteile:

  • geringerer Einbauraum im Fahrzeug,
  • geringeres Fahrzeuggewicht,
  • Fahrzeughersteller können das Fahrzeug ohne eingebaute Zugsicherung verkaufen - keine Kettengeschäfte,
  • Fahrzeugbetreiber können einen Pool von Altsystemen anlegen,
  • Leasinggeschäft und 2nd-hand-markt wird für Altsysteme möglich,
  • Der Mehraufwand durch den TCM und die zusätzlichen Kassetten für die Altsysteme wird durch die Einsparungen ungenutzter Altsysteme um ein Mehrfaches übertroffen sowie
  • alle TEN-T-Korridore werden befahrbar mit nur einem Schrank.
By separating the unit train control systems / vehicle and not all possible combinations of legacy systems are needed at a time, only the systems actually required need to be taken. This results in particular the following advantages:
  • less installation space in the vehicle,
  • lower vehicle weight,
  • Vehicle manufacturers can sell the vehicle without built-in train protection - no chain stores,
  • Vehicle operators can create a pool of legacy systems
  • Leasing business and 2nd-hand-market becomes possible for legacy systems,
  • The extra work done by the TCM and the additional cassettes for the legacy systems is exceeded many times over by the savings of unused legacy systems
  • All TEN-T corridors are passable with just one cupboard.

Die unabhängige Betrachtung verschiedener nationaler Altsysteme durch die jeweilige Zulassungsbehörde ermöglicht eine beschleunigte Markteinführung neuer Fahrzeuge, da nicht alle Zulassungen sofort vorhanden sein müssen und nach Erweiterung mit zusätzlichen Altsystemen keine Wiederzulassung nach Bauartänderung bei den Behörden der anderen schon zugelassenen Altsysteme erforderlich ist.The independent examination of different national legacy systems by the respective approval authority enables an accelerated market introduction of new vehicles, since not all approvals must be present immediately and after extension with additional legacy systems no readmission after modification is required with the authorities of the other already approved legacy systems.

Durch das Wissen über die - temporär - eingebauten Altsysteme an zentraler Stelle mit Hilfe des TCM ergeben sich insbesondere folgende Vorteile:

  • Synergiemöglichkeiten für Displays und Sensoren/Antennen, indem der TCM als "Peripherieweiche" fungiert,
  • komfortablere Bedienerführung im Umgang mit den Altsystemen via TCM-Dislpay,
  • der TCM kapselt die temporär vorhandenen Altsysteme gegenüber einem optionalen EVC und stellt diesem die Altsystemkonfiguration dynamisch zur Verfügung - Wegfall der EVC-Projektierung bzgl. der Altsysteme und
  • automatische Transition von Altsystemen in Abhängigkeit von Streckeninformationen via Eurobalisen.
The knowledge about the - temporarily - installed old systems at a central location with the help of the TCM results in particular the following advantages:
  • Synergy possibilities for displays and sensors / antennas, in that the TCM functions as a "peripheral switch",
  • more comfortable user guidance when dealing with legacy systems via TCM Dislpay,
  • the TCM encapsulates the existing legacy systems in relation to an optional EVC and dynamically makes the legacy system configuration available to it - elimination of the EVC configuration with regard to the legacy systems and
  • Automatic transition of legacy systems depending on route information via Eurobalises.

Möglich ist eine "ETCS-ready" Eigenschaft, da die TCM-Hardware EVC-geeignet ist und umgekehrt. Daraus ergeben sich vor allem kommerzielle Vorteile.An "ETCS-ready" feature is possible, as the TCM hardware is EVC-compatible and vice versa. This results mainly in commercial advantages.

Möglich ist darüberhinaus die Verwendung nur einer Systembasis mit ETCS-Antenne für verschiedene nationale P44-Systeme, wodurch eigenständige P44-Rechner eingespart werden können. Das TCM unterstützt nationale Migrationspläne zu ETCS über den Zwischenschritt der P44-Lösung.In addition, it is possible to use only one system base with ETCS antenna for different national P44 systems, whereby independent P44 computers can be saved. The TCM supports national ETCS migration plans through the intermediate step of the P44 solution.

Alternativ zu manueller Auswahl des Zugsicherungssystems durch den Triebfahrzugführer kann der TCM gemäß Anspruch 2 die Aktivierung der Zugsicherungssysteme in Abhängigkeit von Streckeninformationen auch automatisch durchführen.As an alternative to manual selection of the train protection system by the train driver, the TCM according to claim 2 can also automatically activate the train protection systems as a function of route information.

Gemäß Anspruch 3 ist ein Konfigurationenspeicher vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise ist ein Einbauschrank mit dem Fahrzeug fest verbunden und trägt u. a. den Speicher, der eine MD5-codierte Tabelle mit allen zugelassen Altsystemkombinationen umfasst. Dieser Speicher kann vom TCM über ein Profinet/-bus-IO-Modul gelesen werden.According to claim 3, a configuration memory is provided. Preferably, a built-in closet is firmly connected to the vehicle and carries u. a. the memory that includes an MD5-encoded table with all approved legacy system combinations. This memory can be read by the TCM via a Profinet / Bus IO module.

Durch die sichere Speicherung der erlaubten Konfigurationen im Einbauschrank auf dem Fahrzeug ergeben sich folgende Vorteile:

  • Der TCM muß nicht projektiert werden, sondern bildet seine Projektierung dynamisch aus den Codes.
  • Durch die flexible Erweiterung um zusätzliche Konfigurationen werden weitere Länder befahrbar, ohne das Schrankkonzept ändern zu müssen.
  • Das TCM bildet die Grundlage für intelligentes Konfigurations- und Asset-Management der Hersteller, Behörden und Betreiber.
The secure storage of the permitted configurations in the built-in cabinet on the vehicle offers the following advantages:
  • The TCM does not have to be configured, but forms its configuration dynamically from the codes.
  • Due to the flexible extension with additional configurations, further countries can be driven without having to change the cabinet concept.
  • The TCM forms the basis for intelligent configuration and asset management of manufacturers, authorities and operators.

Der Einbauschrank nimmt gemäß Anspruch 4 außer dem fahrzeugtypspezifischen Speicher vorzugsweise auch Altsystem-Kassetten auf. Dabei ist jedes Altsystem fest in einer Kassette eingebaut, die ebenfalls einen Speicher mit einer eindeutigen elektronischen MD5-Codierung trägt, die vom TCM über ein Profinet/-bus/-IO-Modul gelesen werden kann. Die Kassetten können in den Einbauschrank gesteckt werden und ermöglichen alle notwendigen elektrischen Verbindungen zu der Peripherie des Altsystemes, z. B. galvanisch oder per Funk, insbesondere per WLAN. Die nationale Zulassung wird auf die jeweilige Kombination des nationalen Altsystems in seiner Kassette mit dem TCM und dem Fahrzeug beschränkt. Die sichere Eigenschaft des TCM gewährleistet, dass andere nationale Altsysteme rückwirkungsfrei auf die jeweilige nationale Lösung mitgeführt werden dürfen. Die zugelassene Konfiguration wird von der Behörde codiert und mit einem privaten Schlüssel signiert. Diese "Erlaubnis" wird in die Schrankspeicher übertragen. Der TCM prüft mit einem öffentlichen Schlüssel die Signatur.The built-in cabinet according to claim 4 except the vehicle type-specific memory preferably also old system cassettes. Each legacy system is built into a cassette that also carries a memory with unique MD5 electronic coding that can be read by the TCM via a Profinet / Bus / IO module. The cassettes can be plugged into the built-in cupboard and allow all necessary electrical connections to the periphery of the legacy system, eg. B. galvanically or by radio, in particular via WLAN. The national approval is limited to the respective combination of the national legacy system in its cassette with the TCM and the vehicle. The secure feature of the TCM ensures that other national legacy systems can be carried without hindrance to the respective national solution. The approved configuration is coded by the authority and signed with a private key. This "permission" is transferred to the cabinet memory. The TCM checks the signature with a public key.

Durch den Einbau bestehender Altsysteme in Kassetten mit Profinet/-bus -Anschluss ergeben sich folgende Vorteile:

  • Kassetten ermöglichen verteilte Einbauräume,
  • Kassetten ermöglichen bessere Wartungskonzepte - kleinste tauschbare Einheit,
  • Profinet/-bus ermöglicht auch die flexible Verwendung von STMs anstelle des Altsystems am TCM mit EVC - Vermeiden eines starren, zentralen USSB und Auflösung der USSB-Funktion auf einzelne Kassetten,
  • Altsystem-Recycling derart, dass vorhandene Altsysteme, z.B. von stillgelegten Fahrzeugen, in eine Kassette eingebaut werden und wieder der flexiblen Verwendung zugeführt werden.
The installation of existing legacy systems in cassettes with Profinet / Bus connection offers the following advantages:
  • Cassettes allow distributed installation spaces,
  • Cassettes enable better maintenance concepts - smallest exchangeable unit,
  • Profinet / Bus also allows the flexible use of STMs instead of the legacy TCM with EVC - avoiding a rigid, central USSB and dissolving the USSB function on individual cartridges,
  • Old system recycling such that existing legacy systems, eg of disused vehicles, are installed in a cassette and fed back to the flexible use.

Es entsteht ein 3rd party Markt rund um das Kassettengeschäft, insbesondere hinsichtlich Zusammenbau, Zertifizierung, Verkauf und Vermietung. Der Preis für Altsysteme sinkt, da er Angebot- und Nachfrage unterliegt.The result is a 3rd party market around the cassette business, especially with regard to assembly, certification, sales and leasing. The price of legacy systems is falling as it is subject to supply and demand.

Der TCM ist ausserhalb des Schrankes montiert und liest nach dem Hochlauf die erlaubten Altsystemkonfigurationen aus dem Schrankspeicher und vergleicht sie mit den Codes der eingesteckten Kassetten. Wenn eine unzulässige Kombination ermittelt wird, wird der Triebfahrzeugführer entsprechend informiert, ansonsten wird die Präsenz der eingebauten Altsysteme am DMI angezeigt. Der Triebfahrzeugführer wählt über das TCM-DMI das zu aktivierende Altsystem aus - manuelle Transition. Alternativ können über entsprechend projektierte Eurobalisen zu aktivierende Altsysteme angekündigt und vom TCM empfangen werden - automatische Transition. Der TCM aktiviert / deaktiviert daraufhin das jeweilige Altsystem über das Profinet/- bus/-IO-Modul der Kassette.The TCM is mounted outside the cabinet and after booting it reads the permitted old system configurations from the cabinet memory and compares them with the codes of the inserted cassettes. If an improper combination is detected, the driver is informed accordingly, otherwise the presence of the installed legacy systems is displayed on the DMI. The driver selects the old system to be activated via the TCM-DMI - manual transition. Alternatively, legacy systems to be activated can be announced and received by the TCM via automatically configured Eurobalises - automatic transition. The TCM then activates / deactivates the respective legacy system via the Profinet / bus / IO module of the cassette.

In der einfachsten Form ist der TCM ein betriebliches Overlay-System zu den bisher parallel und unabhängig voneinander fest eingebauten Altsystemen, welches nun die Einbauflexibiltät ermöglicht. Sobald der TCM ein Altsystem aktiviert hat, bedient der Triebfahrzeugführer dieses wie gewohnt. Der TCM kann dann die Transitionsbedingungen überwachen, z. B. hinsichtlich Einschränkung der Umschaltung zwischen Altsystemen oder Mehrfachaktivierung.In the simplest form, the TCM is an operational overlay system to the previously parallel and independently installed legacy systems, which now allows the Einblexlexiltiltät. As soon as the TCM activates a legacy system, the driver will continue to operate as usual. The TCM can then monitor the transition conditions, e.g. For example, with regard to restricting switching between legacy systems or multiple activation.

Wenn ein EVC - European Vital Computer - vorhanden ist, aktiviert der Triebfahrzeugführer diesen über den TCM und überlässt dem EVC die Transitionen. Die TCM-Funktionalität steht dann auch dem EVC zur Verfügung.If an EVC - European Vital Computer - is present, the driver activates it via the TCM and leaves the transitions to the EVC. The TCM functionality is then also available to the EVC.

Die TCM-Funktionalität kann stand-alone auf einer SIL4-HW realisiert werden oder als Applikation zusammen mit einem EVC auf einer gemeinsamen HW laufen.The TCM functionality can be implemented stand-alone on a SIL4 HW or run as an application together with an EVC on a common HW.

Vorzugsweise ist der TCM mit einer ETCS-Antenne ausgestattet und bildet somit eine frei programmierbare Plattform für die Implementierung von P44-Systemen. Dabei handelt es sich um ETCS-Komponenten-basierte nationale Systeme, die das ETCS-Telegramm Nr. 44 verwenden, um national gültige Zugsicherungsinformationen zu übertragen.Preferably, the TCM is equipped with an ETCS antenna and thus forms a freely programmable platform for the implementation of P44 systems. These are ETCS component-based national systems that use the ETCS telegram number 44 to transmit nationally valid train information.

Mit einem Application Programmers Interface - API - wird der Zugriff auf die Peripherie, insbesondere Antennen, Sensoren, Displays und Fahrzeugschnittstellen, durch nationale Applikationen ermöglicht.With an Application Programmer Interface - API - access to the peripherals, in particular antennas, sensors, displays and vehicle interfaces, is made possible by national applications.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines figürlich dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown figuratively.

Die Figur zeigt in stark vereinfachter und schematisierter Darstellungsweise wesentliche Komponenten einer Schienenfahrzeugausstattung. Innerhalb des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 ist ein Einbauschrank 2 angeordnet, welcher einen Speicher 3 aufnimmt, der Informationen über den Fahrzeugtyp beinhaltet. Der Einbauschrank 2 ist weiterhin zur Aufnahme verschiedener nationaler Zugsicherungssysteme 4 ausgebildet. Jedes Zugsicherungssystem 4 ist mit einem Speicher versehen, der Informationen zur Identifizierung des Zugsicherungssystems 4 beinhaltet. Diese Identifizierungsspeicher und der fahrzeugtypspezifische Speicher 3 sind mit einen TCM - Train Control Manager - 5 verbunden, welcher das von einem Triebfahrzeugführer 6 oder durch externe Streckeneinrichtungen 7 ausgewählte Zugsicherungssystem 4 auf Zulässigkeit überprüft. Dazu enthält das TCM 5 ein Register, welches die den nationalen Gegebenheiten entsprechenden Konfigurationen Schienenfahrzeugtyp/Zugsicherungssystem beinhaltet. Dieses Register kann auch Bestandteil des fahrzeugtypspezifischen Speichers 3 sein, so dass der TCM 5 nur noch Vergleichsfunktionen ausführt und keiner Projektierung mehr bedarf. Der TCM 5 wird dadurch universell, d. h. für jeden Fahrzeugtyp und jede Konfiguration Schienenfahrzeugtyp/Zugsicherungssystem - auch bei deren Änderungen - einsetzbar.The figure shows in a highly simplified and schematic representation of essential components of a rail vehicle equipment. Within the rail vehicle 1, a built-in wardrobe 2 is arranged, which receives a memory 3, which contains information about the vehicle type. The built-in wardrobe 2 is further designed to accommodate various national train protection systems 4. Each train protection system 4 is provided with a memory containing information for identifying the train protection system 4. These identification memories and the vehicle-type-specific memory 3 are connected to a TCM - Train Control Manager - 5, which checks the train control system 4 selected by a driver 6 or by external route devices 7 for admissibility. Includes the TCM 5 is a register containing the rail vehicle type / train control system configurations according to national circumstances. This register can also be part of the vehicle-type-specific memory 3, so that the TCM 5 only performs comparison functions and requires no more configuration. The TCM 5 is thus universal, ie for each vehicle type and configuration rail vehicle / train control system - even in their changes - used.
