Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is that of rail safety installations as well as the emergency braking methods implemented by such installations.
  • the signaling of a railway includes signaling equipment of various kinds.
  • it comprises lateral signaling equipment which consist of visual signals, such as traffic lights, arranged on the edge of the track and giving visual information to the driver of the train.
  • Lateral signaling equipment may be in a "stop” state (eg a red light) indicating to the driver that he must stop the train before this equipment and not cross it. Lateral signaling equipment may be in a "passing” state (eg a green light) indicating to the driver that he can move his train past the signaling equipment. Finally, the lateral signaling equipment may be in a "caution” state (for example a yellow light) indicating to the driver that the next lateral signaling equipment he is going to cross is in the "off” state. The driver must then begin the braking procedure to stop his train at the next lateral signaling equipment in the "off” state.
  • railway safety devices on the track, in line with the lateral signaling equipment with which it is associated.
  • Such safety devices are capable of triggering a repetition in the driver's cab of the state in which the associated lateral signaling equipment is located. The repetition may for example consist of the emission of a sound signal.
  • the state of the associated lateral signaling equipment is "off"
  • such safety devices trigger an emergency braking of the train when crossing the associated lateral signaling equipment.
  • the "crocodile” device used in France in particular is an example of such a rail safety device. It is a device of elongated shape, placed between the two rows of rails to the right of the lateral signaling equipment with which he is associated. It has a pad on which is rubbed a brush attached to the locomotive. The friction between the pad and the brush produces a repetition of the signal in the cabin which consists, in France, of generating different ringtones depending on whether the signaling equipment is in the "off", "on” or "attention” state.
  • the friction of the pad and the brush also triggers an emergency braking of the train when lateral signaling equipment in the "off” state is crossed. It will be noted that the emergency braking being triggered at the signaling equipment, the train is effectively halted only after the lateral signaling equipment requiring the "stop" of the train.
  • ETCS European Train Control System
  • ETCS aims to supervise the conduct of a train throughout its course. For this the train receives information on the topology of the section of track on which it engages to optimize each moment its speed. The speed regulation of the train is done automatically by supervising the actions of the driver, and by replacing him in certain situations.
  • ETCS provides for the repetition in cab of the state of the lateral signaling equipment according to a European code common to all countries, so as to overcome the national signaling codes.
  • a driver can, in a completely transparent way, run a train from one country to another having different signals.
  • the ETCS standard provides for a device on board the train and ground devices, placed at the beginning of each section of track.
  • the on-board device comprises an antenna adapted to receive short-range radio signals emitted by a device on the ground, and a computing and control unit connected to the antenna, able to process the received radio signal and to actuate different adapted means. train components and, in particular, its braking system.
  • a ground device comprises a LEU, acronym for the word “Line Side Electronic Unit” for “lateral electronic unit”, which can be controlled from a remote control station, and a pair of beacons arranged on track and connected to LEU output.
  • LEU acronym for the word "Line Side Electronic Unit” for “lateral electronic unit”
  • a particular LEU is programmed, at the factory, with the topological parameters of the section of lane that it must equip. These topological parameters include, for example, the slope of the track section, the existence of a turn, a maximum safety speed, etc. It is able to generate a telegram comprising these topological parameters, the beacons connected to the LEU then emitting a radio signal including the telegram generated.
  • the ETCS standard defines the operation of the on-board equipment. It is summarized below.
  • a radio signal comprising a digital telegram for data exchange according to a particular protocol, defined by the ETCS standard.
  • This telegram is composed of the association of data packets having particular types. For example, a particular type of packet makes it possible to transfer to the onboard device the topological parameter relating to the slope of the section of track. Another type of package allows the exchange of a maximum value of the speed.
  • the calculation and actuation unit of the train determines a plurality of speed curves. Then, the calculation and actuation unit supervises the actions of the driver and possibly substitutes for him so that the instantaneous speed of the train actually follows one or the other of the speed curves so as to optimize, at each moment , the speed of the train.
  • EuroBalises operate by issuing both SIGNUM and ZUB data and ETCS Level 1 "Limited Supervision" data.
  • the trains running on the network are then equipped with a SIGNUM and ZUB on-board device equipped with a specific interface able to read the SIGNUM and ZUB data and / or an ETCS on-board device operating in ETCS level 1.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a rail safety installation and an emergency braking method enabling the replacement of conventional mechanical rail safety devices of the "crocodile" type, a simple function that is not part of the ETCS standard, while using an on-board ETCS-compliant on-board device, but without the complexity and cost of implementing a complete ETCS train supervision solution.
  • the invention relates to a railway safety installation for braking a train running along a track when crossing a lateral signaling equipment of the track, a state of said signaling equipment being controlled remotely from a control station, comprising: a ground device comprising an encoder comprising means for generating telegrams and at least one beacon disposed on the track in the vicinity of the lateral signaling equipment considered, connected to the encoder and comprising means for transmitting a radio signal corresponding to a telegram generated by the encoder; and an embedded device corresponding to the ETCS standard, comprising an antenna able to pick up a radio signal emitted by the beacon, and a computing and actuation unit connected to the antenna, able to process the received radio signal and comprising means actuating the braking system of the train.
  • the encoder generation means are adapted to generate, while the on-board device is in "ETCS Level 0" mode and the lateral signaling equipment is in the "off” state, a "stop” type telegram. , compatible with the ETCS standard, containing a "stop” parameter, and the unit for calculating and actuating the on-board device is capable of interpreting this "stop” parameter as a command for triggering a braking of the train, the on-board device remaining in "ETCS Level 0" mode.
  • the level 0 of the ETCS standard is for example described in the version 2.3.0 of the document "ETCS - System Requirements Specification (SRS) - Subset 026 System Requirement Specification” and more precisely in the paragraphs 2.6.3 of Chapter 2 "Basic System Description "and 4.4.10 of Chapter 4" Modes and transitions "This document is freely accessible on the ERA (European Railway Agency) website at http://www.era.europa.eu /Pages/Home.aspx The specifications given in this document must be observed by the manufacturers.
  • the present installation makes it possible to provide an emergency stop function for any train equipped with a standard ETCS on-board device.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an installation for implementing an emergency braking method.
  • a train 2 circulates along a railway line 4 which comprises two rows of rails 6 and 8.
  • the track 4 is signaled in a conventional manner by means, inter alia, of lateral signaling equipment, such as lights tricolores 10 and 110 arranged successively on the edge of the track 4.
  • the light 10 is at the right of a point M of the track 4 and the light 110 is at a point M '.
  • the traffic light 10, respectively 110 is intended to transmit a visual signal to the driver 12 of the train 2.
  • the change of state of the signaling equipment 10, 110 is controlled remotely from a control station 20.
  • the control station 20 is connected to the signaling equipment 10, 110 by a dedicated electrical line 22, 122, along which an electric signal for controlling the status of the signaling equipment 10, 110 may be communicated.
  • the power line 22, respectively 122 is coupled to the signaling equipment 10, 110, via a relay system 24, 124, for amplifying the electrical control signal to effect the change of state of the signaling equipment 10, 110.
  • the installation according to the invention comprises devices on the ground, each ground device being associated with a lateral signaling equipment, and an onboard device 31 on board the train 2.
  • a device on the ground such as the device 30 associated with the signaling equipment 10, comprises an encoder 32, an upstream beacon 34 and a downstream beacon 36.
  • the beacons 34 and 36 are arranged successively between the rail wires 6 and 8 of the channel 4.
  • the encoder 32 is connected to the relay system 24 of the link between the control station 20 and the signaling device 10.
  • the encoder 32 is connected to the upstream beacon 34.
  • the beacons respectively upstream 34 and downstream 36, are able to emit short-range radio signals.
  • the encoder 32 receives, from the relay system 24, a secondary electrical signal corresponding to the electrical signal for controlling the status of the signaling equipment 10.
  • the encoder 32 processes this secondary electrical signal and generates a bit frame corresponding to the signal. current state of the side signaling equipment 10 to which the encoder 32 is associated.
  • the frame is transmitted to the upstream beacon 34 which is able to transmit a radio signal corresponding to the frame generated by the coder 32.
  • the downstream beacon 36 is able to emit a radio signal whose frame has a constant pattern.
  • the presence of the second beacon 36, downstream of the first beacon 34, makes it possible to simply orient the lane 4 in a single direction of circulation corresponding to the order of the upstream and downstream beacons 36. For example, a train traveling on a track parallel to the track 4, but having a direction of opposite traffic does not take into account the radio signals emitted by the beacons 34 and 36 because it receives first the constant frame of the downstream beacon 36, then that of the upstream beacon 34.
  • ground device 130 associated with the traffic light 110 and comprising an encoder 132 and upstream and downstream 134 beacons 136.
  • the onboard device 31 comprises an antenna 42 able to receive the radio signals emitted by the beacons 34 and 36, 134 and 136, arranged on the channel 4.
  • the antenna 42 is connected to the input of a computing and control unit 44
  • the unit 44 is able to process the frame of the received radio signal so as to extract the data therefrom, and to suitably control various actuating means of the train 2, and in particular its braking system.
  • the onboard device 40 comprises a cabin repetition unit 46 connected at the output of the unit 44.
  • the repetition unit 46 comprises a screen for displaying textual information readable by the driver 12 of the train 2, as well as a speaker to emit different warning tones.
  • the encoders of the ground devices equipping the track are identical to each other and are configured at the factory in the same way. The cost of deploying the ground infrastructure is therefore reduced.
  • the coders do not comply with the ETCS standard in the sense that they do not allow the operation of the onboard device 31 on board the train 2 in "supervision" mode, that is to say according to level 1 of the ETCS standard. Indeed, the encoder 32, 132 does not include parameters relating to the topology of the section of track starting at the point M, M '.
  • the onboard device 31 is in a "sleep" mode corresponding to the level 0 defined by the ETCS standard.
  • the device on board the train can still operate the braking system of the train when the instantaneous speed of the latter is greater than a maximum speed of traffic on the track.
  • the packet 72 of the "attention" telegram generated by the encoder 32 comprises a confirmation time parameter equal to x seconds.
  • the driver 12 is then asked to confirm, by a predefined action, the repeated information message in the cabin in a time interval that starts during the repetition of the signal in the car (time t1) and whose length is equal to the parameter of confirmation. If the driver 12 does not confirm the information message before the end of the time interval (time t2), the computing and operating unit 44 of the onboard device 31 triggers an emergency braking of the train 2.
  • the upstream beacon 34, 134 is configured to transmit a radio signal comprising a default telegram complying with the ETCS standard containing at least one packet of the type 72 repetition signal in the cabin with a message of driver information indicating that the railway safety installation is not working; and, possibly, a type 3 packet with national channel parameters.
