Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for track-side detection approaching rail vehicles and to warn people and related devices.
  • Organizational measures include, for example, track closures, setting-up of slow-moving traffic, driving on sight or visual recording of dangerous situations by marshals.
  • Signal-dependent systems and sensor systems are widely used in the backup-technically assisted vigil warning.
  • FIG. 1 shows the typical structure of a signal-dependent warning system.
  • a signal-dependent warning system Here is a fixed cabling with existing route safety technology 1, z. B. interlocking technology, provided.
  • route safety technology 1 z. B. interlocking technology
  • an input device 3 is looped into the line cabling.
  • the responsible for the route security agency signaled the completed evacuation of the danger area after announcing a trip.
  • Only after activation of the input device 3 receives a rail vehicle 4, for example by driving a signal 5, driving license or far-drive permission.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the principle of a sensor-controlled warning system.
  • the rail vehicle 4 is detected here by means of inductive or mechanical sensors 6 during the crossing.
  • the sensor signal is connected via an evaluation unit 7 with an acoustic and / or optical signal generator 8 in the danger area.
  • the sensor signal can also be generated on the rail vehicle side by means of a motion sensor and transmitted by radio to the signal generator 8 for the warning signal, as in the EP 1 775 192 A1 described.
  • the safety in loading and unloading areas of freight trains can be improved in this way.
  • the invention has for its object to ensure an early warning of workers working on the track in a simple manner, so that they can leave the track in time with all tools, machines and equipment or that effectively prevents rail vehicles retract into the work area.
  • the object is achieved in that the vehicle side continuously radiated RFID (radio frequency identification) signals received trackside and evaluated for danger potential.
  • a vehicle-side RFID transmitter is provided for this purpose, which cooperates with a track-side RFID receiver.
  • the RFID reader / transponder technology allows compared to those in the Figures 1 and 2 sketched warning systems increased flexibility.
  • the components required for continuous wireless signal transmission are characterized by well-engineered, well-proven technology combined with reliability and miniaturization.
  • the track-side receiver can be placed at any track-local place and connected to the usual acoustic and / or optical signal transmitter.
  • the trackside cabling complexity is significantly reduced, since at discrete locations to be installed mechanically or inductively acting sensors are not required.
  • a continuous location of the approaching rail vehicle is possible, whereas by means of sensors locating only at discrete points along the route is possible.
  • a change of direction can be detected by the continuous location, with the result that a warning can possibly be withdrawn.
  • the evaluation device connected to the RFID receiver can determine from the received RFID signals at least the position, direction of travel and speed of the vehicle.
  • the distance and speed measurement is a temporal optimization of the evacuation of the track area possible.
  • Conventional warning systems are designed for the fastest vehicle. If a slower vehicle drives in the area of the workplace, there are usually long waiting times for those involved in the construction. Thanks to the time-optimized warning, the construction processes can be better planned and optimized.
  • With appropriate coding of the RFID signals further information, for example, with regard to the type of vehicle, can be transferred to the workplace.
  • RFID-signals which are received on the vehicle side, are also radiated on the track side.
  • the completed evacuation of the danger zone can be acknowledged by the individual employees, with an evaluation device checking the presence of all acknowledgments and only when the vehicle is complete granting a transit permission.
  • an emergency brake command can be sent to the vehicle.
  • a possibly received warning or a received brake command can be displayed or implemented by a vehicle-side train protection device.
  • the position or the distance to the working crew can be determined by the received RFID signals.
  • the claims 4 and 5 indicate an additional or alternatively usable trackside RFID communication.
  • an RFID signal generated in the event of danger is received by the person to be warned by means of a personal, ie worn on the body, RFID receiver.
  • This individual warning system transmits the warning signals acoustically, visually or tactile, ie by means of vibration elements, to each and every employee of the workplace.
  • the RFID receiver is part of the personal protective equipment of the employee. Particularly noteworthy in this application is the very high technical reliability of the transponder / reader technology.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a warning system based on the transponder / reader technology.
  • the rail vehicle 4 is equipped with a RFID transmitter / receiver 9 radiating continuously RFID signals. This cooperates with a track side as needed in the vicinity of the vulnerable persons 2 temporarily set up RFID transmitter / receiver 10 together.
  • the received RFID signal is forwarded via an evaluation device 11 to the signal generator 8 for audible and / or visual warning of the persons 2.
  • an RFID signal radiated from the trackside transmitter / receiver 10 can also be transmitted to the RFID transmitter / receiver 9 on the rail vehicle 4 as a warning or a brake command.
  • FIG. 4 shows a functional extension of the configuration according to FIG. 3 ,
  • Each vulnerable person 2 carries his own RFID transmitter / receiver 12, which results in a further increase in security.
  • This individualized warning device can also be used with conventional warning systems, for example according to FIG. 1 or 2 , be combined.
