Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of exchanging information between train-carried equipment, said equipment being provided for operation of the train, and a remote location external to said train, a method for enabling operation of a train, a method of implementing automatic train protection / operation for an automatic train protection / operation equipped train, a portable device for use with the method of any preceding claim, and train-carried equipment.
  • information may be gathered on the train during the course of operation which needs to be relayed to central systems such as fault management and maintenance systems.
  • Such information will typically include:
  • Fig. 1 a train is shown, comprising two carriages 1a, 1b, with train-carried equipment 2 being located in carriage 1a.
  • the train-carried equipment 2 communicates wirelessly with a remotely located control system 3 via a wireless communications link 4.
  • This wireless data exchange requires either 'hotspots' where data can be downloaded, or expensive radio backbones.
  • the cost of providing full radio bandwidth necessary for this information exchange may be prohibitive. This is particularly the case with so-called 'light' systems where a full featured radio system is not economically viable. In light rail systems, speed restrictions and track layouts may change on a very regular basis, but the cost of providing full radio bandwidth is disproportionate.
  • a portable data storage device which may for example be carried by a driver of the train, to enable information exchange between the train-carried equipment and a remote location.
  • a method of exchanging information between train-carried equipment, said equipment being provided for operation of the train, and a remote location external to said train comprising the steps of:
  • a method for enabling operation of a train comprising providing information to train-carried equipment of the train in accordance with the first aspect, wherein the information passed in step g) comprises identity information, and further comprising the steps of:
  • a method of implementing automatic train protection / operation for an automatic train protection / operation equipped train comprising providing information to train-carried equipment of the train in accordance with the first aspect, wherein the information comprises information required for the operation of a train-carried automatic train protection / operation system.
  • a fourth aspect of the present invention there is provided a method according to the first aspect, for obtaining information from the train-carried equipment, further comprising the steps of:
  • train-carried equipment for use with the method of any of the first to fourth aspects.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Where appropriate, similar items as in Fig. 1 have retained that numbering system. Therefore, as in Fig. 1 , a train is shown comprising two carriages 1a, 1b. Here, train-carried equipment 2' is located in carriage 1a.
  • a portable device 6 which includes a data storage means 7, such as an integrated memory unit, ROM, RAM, flash etc, or a removable unit such as an SD card or the like.
  • the portable device 6 further comprises, in this embodiment, a combined data input / output means 8, for inputting / outputting data from the data storage means 7, for example a universal serial bus (USB) connection, Bluetooth (RTM) transceiver, radio frequency transceiver.
  • a portable device 6 include a USB key, smartcard or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.
  • the train-carried equipment 2' must be adapted to communicate with the device, for example by provision of a USB connection, Bluetooth transceiver, radio frequency transceiver as appropriate.
  • the portable device 6 is adapted for data exchange with remotely located control system 3, in this case via a remote satellite location 5, which is in data communication with control system 3.
  • the satellite location 5 may be a location where train personnel attend at the beginning and end of their working shifts, e.g. a crew rostering area.
  • the portable device 6 is located at remote satellite location 5, for example within a docking station 9 including auxiliary connection means such as a USB / Bluetooth or Wifi connection.
  • auxiliary connection means such as a USB / Bluetooth or Wifi connection.
  • control system 3 via the data input / output means 8, which enables operation of the train and its ATP / ATO functioning. Examples of such information include:
  • This information is stored within data storage means 7.
  • the portable device 6 is assigned with a 'time validity', which specifies the time extent for which the information, particularly the driver ID information, will be valid.
  • the portable device 6, pre-loaded with this information, will be picked up by a train driver at the commencement of the shift.
  • the train driver should pick up the device which contains his unique driver identity information. This is equivalent to "checking-in”, and acts as proof that the driver has arrived for work.
  • the driver then transports the portable device 6 onto a train, the ID of which should correspond to the train number / ID stored at iv) above.
  • the data stored within storage means 8 may be outputted to the train-carried equipment 2', for example by physically connecting the portable device 6 to the train-carried equipment 2' via USB train connection means, or by being close enough to the train-carried equipment to enable RF or Bluetooth (RTM) communication to be established automatically via such train connection means.
  • RTM RF or Bluetooth
  • This step constitutes a first check, i.e. is the driver in the correct part of the train? For example, if the driver is incorrectly in carriage 1B, then such communication cannot occur, and therefore the train will remain inoperable.
  • portable device 6 outputs the driver and train ID information to the train-carried equipment 2', which correlates this information with corresponding information stored within it, and therefore checks that the correct driver is on board the correct train at the correct time. If the validation is successful, then the train-carried equipment 2' enables operation of the train.
  • required driver / train ID and data information may be input to the device 6 from the train-carried equipment 2' via the train connection means, and the device 6 itself correlates the information. If this is validated, i.e. the IDs and train data match, and fall within the validity period, then the device 6 outputs an enabling signal to the train-carried equipment 2' which causes the train to be operable, subject to the train data also being within the appropriate range.
  • the device 6 must contain suitable processing means (not shown), which enable the correlation to be performed. In alternative embodiments, such processing is carried out distributed between the portable device 6 and train-carried equipment 2'.
  • the driver confirmation can be sought by override means (not shown) If this confirmation is valid, then the train may be authorised to operate.
  • the ATP / ATP required information stored on portable device 6 is output to the train-carried equipment 2', such that ATP / ATO functionality is enabled.
  • the train-carried equipment 2' outputs monitored information to the portable device 6 via the data input / output means 8.
  • This information is gathered during the course of operation, and is useful for fault management and maintenance systems.
  • the information may include for example:
  • the information is stored in the data storage means 7.
  • the driver's shift removes the portable device 6 from the train, and returns it to the docking station 9 at satellite location 5. Once returned, the monitored information is output from portable device 6 and sent to control system 3, where it is processed as required. Return of the portable device 6 to the satellite location 5 is equivalent to "checking-out", and indicates that the driver has finished his shift. The portable device 6 may then be reset with new initialisation information for the next shift. The train meanwhile will be inoperable until a new portable device is located correctly within it.
  • the portable device is used for exchanging information including driver / train ID, map information, monitoring information etc
  • data may be downloaded to or from the train over a radio system.
  • Fixed map data may be stored on all trains, and each train visited individually when any map information changes, such as geographic changes to the railway layout, including addition of a new set of points, signals, permanent speed restrictions etc.
  • Data extracted from the portable device may be stored locally, e.g. at satellite location 5 and sent to control system 3 at regular intervals.
