Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeuggerät für ein System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung mit zumindest einem Generator zum Erzeugen eines Wechselstroms und zum Speisen zumindest eines Schwingkreises zumindest eines Fahrzeugmagneten mit dem erzeugten Wechselstrom sowie zumindest einer Überwachungseinrichtung zum Detektieren einer durch zumindest einen Streckenmagneten verursachten Rückwirkung auf den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten, wobei das Fahrzeuggerät derart ausgebildet ist, dass es konfigurierbar ist und in Abhängigkeit von seiner jeweiligen Konfiguration für unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendbar ist.The invention relates to a vehicle device for a system for point-shaped inductive train control with at least one generator for generating an alternating current and for feeding at least one resonant circuit at least one vehicle magnet with the generated alternating current and at least one monitoring device for detecting a caused by at least one distance magnet reaction to the at least one Oscillatory circuit of the vehicle magnet, wherein the vehicle device is designed such that it is configurable and depending on its respective configuration for different track magnets of different systems for point-shaped inductive train control is used.

Fahrzeuggeräte für Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung sind beispielsweise aus den veröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldungen DE 197 58 365 A1 und DE 102 23 116 A1 bekannt, wobei letztere ein Fahrzeuggerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschreibt.Vehicle devices for systems for punctiform inductive train control are known, for example, from the published German patent applications DE 197 58 365 A1 and DE 102 23 116 A1 known, the latter describes a vehicle device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Generell dienen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, die auch unter dem Begriff "Indusi" bekannt und beispielsweise in Form der Zugbeeinflussungssysteme Indusi I 54, Indusi I 60 R, PZ 80 oder PZB 90 realisiert sind, der Erkennung streckenseitig vorgegebener Signale und Informationen. Dabei erzeugt üblicherweise mindestens ein Generator des Fahrzeuggerätes einen Wechselstrom und speist diesen in einen Schwingkreis eines Fahrzeugmagneten ein. In Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Realisierung kann der Fahrzeugmagnet hierbei als eigenständige Komponente oder auch als Bestandteil des Fahrzeuggerätes betrachtet werden. Der Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten erzeugt ein elektromagnetisches Feld, das beim Überfahren eines Streckenmagneten, der in Zusammenhang mit schienengebundenen Fahrzeugsystemen häufig auch als Gleismagnet bezeichnet wird, in diesem eine Spannung induziert. Im wirksam geschalteten Zustand des Streckenmagneten führt dies für die Dauer der Kopplung zu einer Pegelabsenkung im Speisekreis des Fahrzeugmagneten, die mittels einer Überwachungseinrichtung detektiert werden kann. Voraussetzung hierfür ist, dass der Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten, der üblicherweise in Resonanz betrieben wird, auf die Resonanzfrequenz des Streckenmagneten abgestimmt ist. In Deutschland sind Streckenmagnete mit einer Resonanzfrequenz von 500 Hz, 1000 Hz und 2000 Hz gebräuchlich, die jeweils einer bestimmten Informationen, nämlich Geschwindigkeitskontrolle, Vorsignal und Hauptsignal, zugeordnet sind. Folglich weisen entsprechende Fahrzeugmagnete üblicherweise drei jeweils auf die entsprechende Resonanzfrequenz abgestimmte Schwingkreise auf, die von einem Generator oder mehreren Generatoren gespeist werden.In general, systems for point-shaped inductive train control, which are also known by the term "Indusi" and implemented, for example, in the form of the train control systems Indusi I 54, Indusi I 60 R, PZ 80 or PZB 90, serve to identify track-side predetermined signals and information. Typically, at least one generator of the vehicle device generates an alternating current and feeds it into a resonant circuit of a vehicle magnet. Depending on the particular implementation of the vehicle magnet can hereby be considered as an independent component or as part of the vehicle unit. The resonant circuit of the vehicle magnet generates an electromagnetic field which, when driving over a section magnet, which is often referred to as a track magnet in connection with rail-mounted vehicle systems, induces a voltage in the latter. In the effectively switched state of the track magnet this leads for the duration of the coupling to a level reduction in the feed circuit of the vehicle magnet, which can be detected by means of a monitoring device. The prerequisite for this is that the resonant circuit of the vehicle magnet, which is usually operated in resonance, is tuned to the resonant frequency of the track magnet. In Germany, track magnets with a resonant frequency of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz are commonly used, which are each assigned to a specific information, namely speed control, pre-signal and main signal. Consequently, corresponding vehicle magnets usually have three tuned to the corresponding resonant frequency resonant circuits, which are fed by one generator or multiple generators.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes Fahrzeuggerät der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide an improved vehicle device of the type mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Fahrzeuggerät für ein System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung mit zumindest einem Generator zum Erzeugen eines Wechselstroms und zum Speisen zumindest eines Schwingkreises zumindest eines Fahrzeugmagneten mit dem erzeugten Wechselstrom sowie zumindest einer Überwachungseinrichtung zum Detektieren einer durch zumindest einen Streckenmagneten verursachten Rückwirkung auf den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten, wobei das Fahrzeuggerät derart ausgebildet ist, dass es konfigurierbar ist und in Abhängigkeit von seiner jeweiligen Konfiguration für unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendbar ist, wobei das Fahrzeuggerät durch Änderung der Stromstärke des durch den zumindest einen Generator erzeugten und in den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten eingespeisten Wechselstroms konfigurierbar ist.This object is achieved by a vehicle device for a system for point-inductive train control with at least one generator for generating an alternating current and for feeding at least one resonant circuit of at least one vehicle magnet with the generated alternating current and at least one monitoring device for detecting a caused by at least one distance magnet retroactivity the at least one resonant circuit of Vehicle magnet, wherein the vehicle unit is designed such that it is configurable and is usable depending on its configuration for different track magnets of different systems for point inductive train control, wherein the vehicle unit by changing the amperage of the generated by the at least one generator and in the at least a resonant circuit of the at least one vehicle magnet injected alternating current is configurable.

Entsprechend den diesbezüglichen vorstehenden Ausführungen ist es bei einem System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung üblicherweise erforderlich, dass die an den Fahrzeugen angeordneten Fahrzeugmagnete sowie die an der Strecke installierten Streckenmagnete aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Dies hat zur Folge, dass bei einem Einsatz eines Fahrzeugs in unterschiedlichen Gebieten oder Ländern, in denen unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung mit unterschiedlichen Streckenmagneten verwendet werden, fahrzeugseitig für jedes Land beziehungsweise jedes Gebiet bislang jeweils eine eigene punktförmige Zugbeeinflussungseinrichtung installiert wird, die insbesondere jeweils ein separates Fahrzeuggerät und auf die entsprechenden Streckenmagnete abgestimmte Fahrzeugmagnete aufweist. Als Beispiel hierfür sei ein Fahrzeug genannt, das zwischen Deutschland und Polen verkehrt. Da sich das in Deutschland verwendete System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, d.h. beispielsweise Indusi I 60 R, LZB 80 oder PZ 80, von dem in Polen verwendeten System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, SHP, hinsichtlich der Streckenmagnete unterscheidet, waren hierbei fahrzeugseitig bislang für jedes der beiden Systeme ein Fahrzeuggerät sowie entsprechende Fahrzeugmagnete vorzusehen. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die Fahrzeugmagnete üblicherweise in Fahrtrichtung rechts angeordnet sind, so dass für jede Fahrtrichtung üblicherweise ein eigener Fahrzeugmagnet erforderlich ist.Corresponding to the relevant above statements, it is usually necessary in a system for point-shaped inductive train control that arranged on the vehicles vehicle magnets and the track magnets installed on the track are matched. This has the consequence that when using a vehicle in different areas or countries in which different systems are used for point inductive train control with different track magnets, the vehicle side for each country or each area so far each have their own punctiform train control device is installed, in particular each a separate vehicle device and matched to the appropriate track magnets vehicle magnets. An example of this is a vehicle called, which operates between Germany and Poland. Since the system used in Germany for point-inductive train control, ie, for example Indusi I 60 R, LZB 80 or PZ 80, differs from the system used in Poland for point inductive train control, SHP, with respect to the distance magnets, were on the vehicle side so far for each of the two systems to provide a vehicle device and corresponding vehicle magnets. It should be noted that the vehicle magnets usually arranged in the direction of travel right are, so that usually a separate vehicle magnet is required for each direction.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät ist vorteilhaft, da es ermöglicht, per Konfiguration eine Anpassung in Bezug auf unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung vorzunehmen. Hierdurch wird es ermöglicht, dass dasselbe Fahrzeuggerät in Abhängigkeit von seiner jeweiligen Konfiguration für unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete und damit für unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendet werden kann.The vehicle device according to the invention is advantageous because it makes it possible to make an adjustment by means of configuration with respect to different track magnets of different systems for point-shaped inductive train control. This makes it possible that the same vehicle device can be used depending on its configuration for different track magnets and thus for different systems for point-shaped inductive train control.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät bietet somit den Vorteil, dass die Anzahl der Geräte an Bord des Fahrzeugs verringert wird. So ist vorteilhafterweise unabhängig von der Anzahl der unterstützten Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung lediglich ein Fahrzeuggerät erforderlich. Dadurch, dass sich die fahrzeugseitigen Einrichtungen vereinfachen beziehungsweise reduzieren, wird darüber hinaus auch eine Reduktion der Entwicklungs-, Investitions-, Montage- und Instandhaltungsaufwände ermöglicht, womit unmittelbar eine entsprechende Kostenersparnis verbunden ist.The vehicle device according to the invention thus offers the advantage that the number of devices on board the vehicle is reduced. Thus, advantageously, regardless of the number of supported systems for point-shaped inductive train control only a vehicle device is required. The fact that the vehicle-side facilities simplify or reduce, moreover, a reduction of development, investment, installation and maintenance costs is possible, which is directly associated with a corresponding cost savings.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Konfigurierbarkeit des Fahrzeuggerätes softwaretechnisch und/oder hardwaretechnisch realisiert werden.In the context of the present invention, the configurability of the vehicle device can be realized by software technology and / or hardware technology.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass das Fahrzeuggerät erfindungsgemäß derart konfigurierbar sein kann, dass es in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Konfiguration zur Verwendung für zwei oder auch mehr unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung ausgebildet ist.It should be noted that the vehicle device according to the invention can be configured such that it is designed as a function of the respective configuration for use for two or more different systems for point-shaped inductive train control.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät ist derart ausgeprägt, dass das Fahrzeuggerät durch Änderung der Stromstärke des durch den zumindest einen Generator erzeugten und in den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten eingespeisten Wechselstroms konfigurierbar ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da somit in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweiligen System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung beziehungsweise den in diesem System verwendeten Streckenmagneten Wechselströme unterschiedlicher Stromstärke in den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten eingespeist werden können. So verwendet beispielsweise das in Deutschland gebräuchliche System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung PZB 90 die Frequenzen 500, 1000 und 2000 Hz, wobei die Sendeleistung im Ruhezustand, d.h. im unbeeinflussten Zustand, für jede der Frequenzen ca. 6 W beträgt. Hingegen verwendet beispielsweise das in Polen gebräuchliche System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung SHP ausschließlich eine Frequenz von 1000 Hz zur Übertragung der Informationen, wobei die Sendeleistung im Ruhezustand hier deutlich unter 1 W liegt.The vehicle device according to the invention is so pronounced that the vehicle device can be configured by changing the current intensity of the alternating current generated by the at least one generator and fed into the at least one resonant circuit of the at least one vehicle magnet. This is advantageous since alternating currents of different current intensity can thus be fed into the at least one resonant circuit of the at least one vehicle magnet as a function of the particular system for point-shaped inductive train influencing or the system magnet used in this system. For example, PZB 90, the common point inductive train control system used in Germany, uses the frequencies 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz, with the transmission power at rest, i. in the uninfluenced state, for each of the frequencies is about 6 W. On the other hand, for example, the system for point-shaped inductive train control SHP, which is customary in Poland, exclusively uses a frequency of 1000 Hz for the transmission of the information, with the transmission power being considerably below 1 W in the idle state here.

Vorzugsweise ist das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät derart weitergebildet, dass das Fahrzeuggerät derart konfigurierbar ist, dass mit dem zumindest einem Fahrzeugmagnet die durch unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verursachten Rückwirkungen auf den zumindest einen Schwingkreis des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten erfassbar sind. In diesem Fall können somit für unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung vorteilhafterweise fahrzeugseitig dieselben Fahrzeugmagnete verwendet werden. Dies bedeutet, dass aufgrund der Konfigurationsmöglichkeit des Fahrzeuggerätes ein Fahrzeugmagnet beziehungsweise ein Fahrzeugmagnettyp für das Auslesen von zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Typen von Streckenmagneten unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung geeignet beziehungsweise verwendbar ist. Im Idealfall wird somit fahrzeugseitig je Fahrtrichtung lediglich ein Fahrzeugmagnet benötigt. Hierdurch wird nicht nur der Kostenaufwand reduziert, sondern darüber hinaus auch die Sicherheit durch eine verbesserte Übertragung der Informationen von dem jeweiligen Streckenmagnet an den jeweiligen Fahrzeugmagnet verbessert. Ursache hierfür ist, dass unabhängig von dem jeweils zum Einsatz kommenden System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung der Fahrzeugmagnet für jede Fahrtrichtung jeweils am bestmöglichen Einbauort am Fahrzeug montiert werden kann. Nachteile dadurch, dass je Fahrtrichtung eine größere Anzahl von Fahrzeugmagneten zu montieren ist, werden somit vorteilhafterweise vermieden.Preferably, the vehicle unit according to the invention is developed such that the vehicle unit is configurable such that with the at least one vehicle magnet caused by different distance magnets different systems for point inductive train feedback effects on the at least one resonant circuit of the at least one vehicle magnet can be detected. In this case, the same vehicle magnets can thus advantageously be used on the vehicle side for different track magnets of different systems for point-shaped inductive train control. This means that due to the configuration possibility of the vehicle device, a vehicle magnet or a vehicle magnet type for reading of at least two different types of track magnets of different systems for point-shaped inductive train control suitable or usable. Ideally, only one vehicle magnet is needed on the vehicle side depending on the direction of travel. This not only reduces the cost, but also improves the security by an improved transmission of information from the respective link magnet to the respective vehicle magnet. The reason for this is that, regardless of the particular system used for point-shaped inductive train control, the vehicle magnet can be mounted on the vehicle at the best possible installation location for each direction of travel. Disadvantages in that depending on the direction of travel a larger number of vehicle magnets is to be mounted, are thus advantageously avoided.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass neben einer Konfiguration durch Änderung der Stromstärke des durch den Generator erzeugten Wechselstromes zusätzlich auch weitere Konfigurationsmaßnahmen denkbar sind beziehungsweise erforderlich sein können. Dies kann insbesondere auch hardwaretechnische Umschaltungen dahingehend beinhalten, dass beispielsweise durch einen Schaltvorgang von einem Betrieb des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten mit einem Reihen-Resonanzkreis zu einem Betrieb des zumindest einen Fahrzeugmagneten mit einem Parallel-Resonanzkreis umgeschaltet wird.It should be noted that in addition to a configuration by changing the current strength of the alternating current generated by the generator in addition, further configuration measures are conceivable or may be required. This may include, in particular, hardware-related switching to the effect that, for example, by a switching operation of an operation of the at least one vehicle magnet with a series resonant circuit to an operation the at least one vehicle magnet is switched with a parallel resonant circuit.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät durch Änderung zumindest eines Betriebsparameters der zumindest einen Überwachungseinrichtung konfigurierbar. Dabei kann eine entsprechende Änderung des zumindest einen Betriebsparameters der zumindest einen Überwachungseinrichtung zusätzlich oder alternativ zur Änderung zumindest eines Betriebsparameters des zumindest einen Generators erfolgen.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the vehicle device according to the invention is configurable by changing at least one operating parameter of the at least one monitoring device. In this case, a corresponding change of the at least one operating parameter of the at least one monitoring device can take place additionally or alternatively to the change of at least one operating parameter of the at least one generator.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät derart ausgestaltet, dass das Fahrzeuggerät durch Änderung zumindest eines Schwellenwertes der zumindest einen Überwachungseinrichtung konfigurierbar ist. Bei einem entsprechenden Schwellenwert kann es sich insbesondere um einen Schwellenwert für die Stromstärke in dem jeweiligen Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten handeln. Ein aktivierter Streckenmagnet wird somit anhand einer durch den Streckenmagnet beziehungsweise seinen Schwingkreis verursachten Absenkung des Wechselstroms unter den Schwellenwert detektiert. Sofern der Fahrzeugmagnet mehrere Schwingkreise aufweist, können die Schwellenwerte vorzugsweise separat für jeden Schwingkreis des Fahrzeugmagneten vorgegeben werden. Neben der Festlegung eines absoluten Schwellenwertes kann dies beispielsweise auch durch Vorgabe einer prozentualen Absenkung der Stromstärke des Wechselstroms des Schwingkreises erfolgen.According to a further particularly preferred development, the vehicle device according to the invention is configured such that the vehicle device can be configured by changing at least one threshold value of the at least one monitoring device. A corresponding threshold value may in particular be a threshold value for the current intensity in the respective resonant circuit of the vehicle magnet. An activated line magnet is thus detected by means of a caused by the track magnet or its resonant circuit lowering of the alternating current below the threshold. If the vehicle magnet has a plurality of resonant circuits, the threshold values may preferably be specified separately for each resonant circuit of the vehicle magnet. In addition to the definition of an absolute threshold value, this can also be done, for example, by specifying a percentage reduction of the current intensity of the alternating current of the resonant circuit.

Vorzugsweise kann das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät auch derart ausgeprägt sein, dass in einem Speicherbereich des Fahrzeuggerätes für die unterschiedlichen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung spezifische Daten abgelegt sind. Bei entsprechenden Daten kann es sich neben für das jeweilige System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung spezifischen Betriebsparametern insbesondere um für das jeweilige System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung spezifische Betriebsprogramme des Fahrzeuggerätes handeln. Hierdurch wird es somit vorteilhafterweise ermöglicht, dass dasselbe Fahrzeuggerät in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweils vorliegenden beziehungsweise zu unterstützenden System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung mit zumindest teilweise unterschiedlicher Software betrieben werden kann.Preferably, the vehicle device according to the invention may also be so pronounced that stored in a memory area of the vehicle device for the different systems for point-inductive train control specific data are. In the case of corresponding data, the operating parameters specific to the particular system for point-shaped inductive train control may be, in particular, operating programs of the vehicle device specific to the respective system for point-shaped inductive train control. As a result, it is thus advantageously made possible that the same vehicle device, depending on the respective present or to be supported system for point-shaped inductive train control with at least partially different software can be operated.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät zum Ändern seiner Konfiguration während des Fahrtbetriebs ausgebildet. Dies kann beispielsweise derart geschehen, dass dem Fahrzeuggerät signalisiert wird, dass nach einer Fahrstrecke von z.B. 100 m eine Umschaltung von einem System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung auf ein anderes System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung erfolgen soll. Durch eine Änderung der Konfiguration des Fahrzeuggerätes während des Fahrtbetriebs wird es hierbei vorteilhafterweise ermöglicht, dass auch beim Wechsel von einem System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung zu einem anderen System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, d.h. beispielsweise an einer Ländergrenze, ein Halt des Fahrzeugs zur Umstellung auf das andere System nicht erforderlich ist.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the vehicle device according to the invention is designed to change its configuration during the driving operation. This can be done, for example, in such a way that the vehicle device is signaled that after a journey of e.g. 100 m switching from a system for point-inductive train control to another system for point-shaped inductive train control should be made. By changing the configuration of the vehicle device during the driving operation, it is hereby advantageously made possible that also when changing from a system for point-shaped inductive train control to another system for point-shaped inductive train control, i. For example, at a country border, a stop of the vehicle to switch to the other system is not required.

Vorteilhafterweise kann das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät auch derart weitergebildet sein, dass das Fahrzeuggerät als STM (Special Transmission Module) für das europäische Zugsicherungssystem ETCS (European Train Control System) ausgebildet ist. Bei einem STM handelt es sich um üblicherweise zur Anpassung von nicht ETCS kompatiblen nationalen Zugsicherungssystemen an ein ETCS-Fahrzeuggerät eingesetzte Module. Um die Weiterbenutzung des jeweiligen nationalen Zugsicherungssystems in einer Übergangsphase zu ermöglichen, übersetzen die STM beziehungsweise STM-Module hierbei Informationen des jeweiligen alten Zugsicherungs- beziehungsweise Zugbeeinflussungssystems, so dass ein mit einem ETCS-Fahrzeuggerät und einem entsprechenden STM ausgestattetes Triebfahrzeug Strecken mit der entsprechenden länderspezifischen Funktionalität befahren kann. Durch die bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes wird es hierbei nun ermöglicht, dass ein und dasselbe STM für unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendet werden kann. Hierdurch ergeben sich somit auch im Zusammenhang mit ETCS die im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerät genannten Vorteile. Vorzugsweise ist das Fahrzeuggerät hierbei derart ausgebildet, dass es an einem ETCS-Fahrzeuggerät lediglich eine STM-Schnittstelle belegt. Dies bedeutet, dass sich das Fahrzeuggerät unabhängig von der Anzahl der von ihm unterstützten Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung gegenüber dem ETCS-Fahrzeuggerät als lediglich ein STM beziehungsweise lokales (Alt-)System darstellt.Advantageously, the vehicle device according to the invention can also be further developed in such a way that the vehicle device is designed as STM (Special Transmission Module) for the European Train Control System (ETCS). An STM is commonly used to adapt non-ETCS compliant national train protection systems to ETCS vehicle equipment. In order to enable the further use of the respective national train protection system in a transitional phase, the STM or STM modules in this case translate information of the respective old train protection or train control system, so that a train vehicle equipped with an ETCS vehicle device and a corresponding STM trains routes with the corresponding country-specific functionality can drive. Due to the preferred development of Vehicle device according to the invention, it is now possible that one and the same STM can be used for different systems for point-shaped inductive train control. This also results in connection with ETCS the advantages mentioned in connection with the vehicle device according to the invention. Preferably, the vehicle device is in this case designed such that it occupies only one STM interface on an ETCS vehicle device. This means that the vehicle device, regardless of the number of systems it supports for the point-shaped inductive train control over the ETCS vehicle device, represents only one STM or local (old) system.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät mehrere Generatoren auf und ist zum Abschalten von für das jeweilige System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung nicht benötigten Generatoren ausgebildet. Dies ist in all den Fällen vorteilhaft, in denen die unterschiedlichen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, die seitens des Fahrzeuggerätes unterstützt werden, eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Frequenzen nutzen. So kann beispielsweise bei einem Fahrzeug, dass von Deutschland nach Polen fährt, im Bereich des polnischen Systems SHP eine Abschaltung der Generatoren für 500 Hz und für 2000 Hz erfolgen, da SHP lediglich die Frequenz 1000 Hz nutzt. Eine entsprechende Abschaltbarkeit der Generatoren ist darüber hinaus insbesondere auch für den Fall vorteilhaft, dass das Fahrzeuggerät als STM für ETCS ausgebildet ist, da hier im ETCS-Betrieb eine Abschaltung der in diesem Fall nicht benötigten Generatoren des durch das Fahrzeuggerät in seiner Funktion als STM unterstützten Altsysteme ermöglicht wird.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the vehicle device according to the invention comprises a plurality of generators and is designed to switch off generators not required for the respective system for point-shaped inductive train control. This is advantageous in all cases in which the different systems for point-shaped inductive train control, which are supported by the vehicle device, use a different number of frequencies. For example, in the case of a vehicle traveling from Germany to Poland, the generators for 500 Hz and 2000 Hz are switched off in the area of the Polish system SHP, since SHP only uses the frequency 1000 Hz. A corresponding turn-off of the generators is also particularly advantageous for the case that the vehicle unit is designed as STM for ETCS, since here in ETCS operation a shutdown of the not required in this case generators of supported by the vehicle unit in its function as STM Old systems is made possible.

Die Erfindung umfasst darüber hinaus ein Schienenfahrzeug mit zumindest einem erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerät beziehungsweise zumindest einem Fahrzeuggerät gemäß einer der zuvor beschriebenen bevorzugten Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes sowie mit zumindest einem an das zumindest eine Fahrzeuggerät angebundenen Fahrzeugmagneten.The invention further includes a rail vehicle with at least one vehicle device according to the invention or at least one vehicle device according to one of the previously described preferred developments of the vehicle device according to the invention and with at least one vehicle magnet connected to the at least one vehicle device.

Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeugs entsprechen im Wesentlichen denjenigen des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes beziehungsweise seiner bevorzugten Weiterbildungen, so dass diesbezüglich auf die entsprechenden vorstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen wird.The advantages of the rail vehicle according to the invention essentially correspond to those of the vehicle device according to the invention or its preferred developments, so that in this regard reference is made to the corresponding explanations above.

Die Erfindung umfasst weiterhin auch ein System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung mit zumindest einem Streckenmagneten, zumindest einem erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerät beziehungsweise zumindest einem Fahrzeuggerät gemäß einer der zuvor beschriebenen bevorzugten Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes sowie mit zumindest einem an das zumindest eine Fahrzeuggerät angebundenen Fahrzeugmagneten.The invention further includes a system for point-inductive train control with at least one link magnet, at least one vehicle device according to the invention or at least one vehicle device according to one of the previously described preferred developments of the vehicle device according to the invention and with at least one connected to the at least one vehicle device vehicle magnet.

Auch hinsichtlich der Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Systems zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung sei auf die entsprechenden Ausführungen im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerät sowie seinen bevorzugten Weiterbildungen verwiesen.Also with regard to the advantages of the system according to the invention for point-shaped inductive train control reference is made to the corresponding statements in connection with the vehicle device according to the invention and its preferred developments.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Hierzu zeigt die

Figur
in einer schematischen Darstellung ein Blockschaltbild mit einem Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes sowie einem Fahrzeugmagnet.
In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. This shows the
figure
in a schematic representation of a block diagram with an embodiment of a vehicle device according to the invention and a vehicle magnet.

In der Figur ist ein Fahrzeuggerät 10 gezeigt, das eine Steuereinrichtung 20 sowie eine Speichereinrichtung 30 für beziehungsweise mit Softwareprogrammen und Daten aufweist.In the figure, a vehicle device 10 is shown, which has a control device 20 and a memory device 30 for or with software programs and data.

Die Steuereinrichtung 20 umfasst eine Rechnerbaugruppe 21, eine Sende-/Empfangsbaugruppe 22, ein Register 23, eine Bremsausgabebaugruppe 24, eine Eingabe-/Ausgabebaugruppe 25 sowie eine Stromversorgung 26.The control device 20 comprises a computer module 21, a transmitting / receiving module 22, a register 23, a brake output module 24, an input / output module 25 and a power supply 26.

Gemäß der Darstellung der Figur ist die Rechnerbaugruppe 21 derart an die Speichereinrichtung 30 angebunden, dass die Rechnerbaugruppe 21 auf Betriebsprogramme 31a, 31b und 31c zugreifen kann. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit ist hierbei auf die Darstellung einer Verbindung zwischen der Rechnerbaugruppe 21 und dem Betriebsprogramm 31c verzichtet worden. Bei dem Betriebsprogramm 31a kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Betriebsprogramm für das Fahrzeuggerät 10 zur Verwendung mit einem System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung in Form der Indusi, d.h. beispielsweise dem System PZB 90, handeln. Dementsprechend kann das Betriebsprogramm 31b beispielsweise ein zur Verwendung mit dem polnischen System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung SHP vorgesehenes Betriebsprogramm handeln. Entsprechend der Darstellung in der Figur können darüber hinaus Betriebsprogramme für beliebige weitere Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung vorgesehen sein, die in der Darstellung der Figur lediglich durch entsprechende Punkte sowie das Betriebsprogramm 31c angedeutet sind.As shown in the figure, the computer module 21 is connected to the memory device 30 in such a way that the computer module 21 can access operating programs 31a, 31b and 31c. For reasons of clarity, the representation of a connection between the computer module 21 and the operating program 31c has been dispensed with here. The operating program 31a may be, for example, an operating program for the vehicle unit 10 for use with a Inductive inductive locus train system, i. For example, the system PZB 90, act. Accordingly, the operating program 31b may, for example, be an operating program intended for use with the Polish point inductive train control system SHP. According to the illustration in the figure, operating programs for any further systems for point-shaped inductive train control can be provided beyond that, which are indicated in the illustration of the figure only by corresponding points and the operating program 31c.

Die Rechnerbaugruppe 21 steht darüber hinaus mit dem Register 23 der Sende-/Empfangsbaugruppe 22 in Verbindung. Neben dem Register 23 umfasst die Sende-/Empfangsbaugruppe 22 Generatoren 27a, 27b, 27c sowie Überwachungseinrichtungen 28a, 28b, 28c. Entsprechend der Darstellung der Figur ist die Sende-/Empfangsbaugruppe 22 an einen Fahrzeugmagneten 40 angebunden, der Schwingkreise 41a, 41b und 41c aufweist. Dabei dienen die Generatoren 27a, 27b, 27c zum Erzeugen jeweils eines Wechselstroms und zum Speisen des jeweiligen Schwingkreises 41a, 41b, 41c des Fahrzeugmagneten 40 mit dem jeweiligen erzeugten Wechselstrom. Mittels der Überwachungseinrichtungen 28a, 28b, 28c ist es hierbei in für sich bekannter Art und Weise möglich, anhand einer durch zumindest einen Streckenmagneten verursachten Rückwirkung auf zumindest einen der Schwingkreise 41a, 41b, 41c des Fahrzeugmagneten 40 einen Strecken- beziehungsweise Gleismagneten sowie dessen Zustand zu detektieren, wodurch eine Informationsübertragung von der Strecke auf das betreffende Fahrzeug möglich ist.The computer module 21 is also connected to the register 23 of the transmitting / receiving module 22 in connection. In addition to the register 23, the transmitting / receiving module 22 comprises generators 27a, 27b, 27c and monitoring devices 28a, 28b, 28c. As shown in the figure, the transmitting / receiving assembly 22 is connected to a vehicle magnet 40 having oscillation circuits 41a, 41b and 41c. In this case, the generators 27a, 27b, 27c are used to generate an alternating current and to feed the respective resonant circuit 41a, 41b, 41c of the vehicle magnet 40 with the respective generated alternating current. By means of the monitoring devices 28a, 28b, 28c, it is possible in a manner known per se to apply a track or track magnet and its state to at least one of the resonant circuits 41a, 41b, 41c of the vehicle magnet 40 by means of a return magnet detect, whereby an information transfer from the track to the vehicle in question is possible.

Um eine flexible Anpassung an unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung zu ermöglichen, ist das Fahrzeuggerät 10 derart ausgebildet, dass es konfigurierbar ist und in Abhängigkeit von seiner Konfiguration für unterschiedliche Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendbar ist. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur wird dies insbesondere dadurch realisiert, dass neben den unterschiedlichen Betriebsprogrammen 31a, 31b, 31c für die unterschiedlichen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung ein Parameterspeicher 22 vorgesehen ist, in dem für die unterschiedlichen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung die jeweils erforderlichen beziehungsweise zur Anwendung kommenden Betriebsparameter abgelegt sind. Dies ist in der Figur durch eine Tabelle schematisch angedeutet, in der für unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, die beispielhaft mit INDUSI und SHP bezeichnet sind, verschiedene Betriebsparameter aufgeführt sind. Dabei steht IFM für die Stromstärke des in dem Fahrzeugmagneten 40 eingespeisten Wechselstroms, IS für einen seitens der Überwachungseinrichtungen 28a, 28b, 28c zum Detektieren der durch den zumindest einen Streckenmagneten verursachten Rückwirkung auf den zumindest einen Schwingkreis 41a, 41b, 41c des Fahrzeugmagneten 40 verwendeten Schwellenwert der Stromstärke, MMI für Parameter, die das bei dem jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystem zum Einsatz kommende "Man Machine Interface", d.h. die jeweiligen Eingabe- und Ausgabeeinrichtungen, angeben sowie BrA für Parameter, welche sich auf die in dem jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystem vorgesehene beziehungsweise erforderliche Einwirkung auf die Bremse, d.h. die Bremsausgabe, beziehen.In order to enable a flexible adaptation to different systems for point-shaped inductive train control, the vehicle device 10 is designed such that it is configurable and can be used depending on its configuration for different track magnets of different systems for point-shaped inductive train control. In the exemplary embodiment of the figure, this is realized in particular by the fact that, in addition to the different operating programs 31a, 31b, 31c, a parameter memory 22 is provided for the different systems for point-shaped inductive train control, in which the respectively required or for the different systems for point-shaped inductive train control Application are stored operating parameters. This is schematically indicated in the figure by a table in which various operating parameters are listed for different systems for point-shaped inductive train control, which are designated by way of example with INDUSI and SHP. Here, I FM stands for the current intensity of the vehicle magnet 40 fed AC, I s for a part of the monitoring means 28a, 28b, 28c for detecting the caused by the at least one stretch magnet feedback to the at least one resonant circuit 41a, 41b, 41c of the vehicle magnet 40 used threshold value of the current, MMI for parameters that in the specify respective "Man Machine Interface", ie the respective input and output devices, as well as BrA for parameters which relate to the respectively provided in the respective Zugbeeinflussungssystem or required action on the brake, ie the brake output.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass im Falle eines Systems zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, das Streckenmagnete unterschiedlicher Frequenz verwendet, wie dies beispielsweise bei Indusi mit Streckenmagneten der Frequenz 500, 1000 sowie 2000 Hz der Fall ist, die Parameter IFM sowie IS in dem Parameterspeicher 32 spezifisch für den jeweiligen fahrzeugseitigen Schwingkreis 41a, 41b beziehungsweise 41c vorgegeben sein können.It should be noted that in the case of a system for point-shaped inductive train influence, the distance magnets used different frequency, as is the case for example with 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz, the parameters I FM and I S in the parameter memory 32 may be specified specifically for the respective vehicle-side resonant circuit 41a, 41b and 41c.

Durch die Betriebsprogramme 31a, 31b, 31c sowie dem Parameterspeicher 32 mit den Betriebsparametern für die unterschiedlichen Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung wird es dem Fahrzeuggerät somit ermöglicht, seine Konfiguration beziehungsweise Parametrierung bezogen auf die jeweiligen Streckenmagnete, d.h. bezogen auf das jeweils zu unterstützende System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, anzupassen beziehungsweise zu ändern. Hierzu kann beispielsweise nach einer Signalisierung, dass ein Übergang zu einem anderen Zugbeeinflussungssystem ansteht, ein Auslesen der für das betreffende Zugbeeinflussungssystem gültigen Betriebsparameter aus dem Parameterspeicher 32 sowie ein Einlesen des jeweiligen Betriebsprogramms 31a, 31b beziehungsweise 31c in die Rechnerbaugruppe 21 erfolgen, wobei die Betriebsparameter bei dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels nachfolgend von der Rechnerbaugruppe 21 an das Register 23 der Sende-/Empfangs-Baugruppe 22 übertragen werden. Hierdurch wird es ermöglicht, dass die entsprechenden Betriebsparameter der Generatoren 27a, 27b sowie 27c und der Überwachungseinrichtungen 28a, 28b, 28c per Konfiguration an das jeweilige System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung angepasst werden können.By operating programs 31a, 31b, 31c and the parameter memory 32 with the operating parameters for the different systems for point-inductive train control it is the vehicle unit thus allows its configuration or parameterization based on the respective distance magnets, ie based on the respective system to be supported for punctiform inductive train control, adapt or change. For this purpose, for example, after signaling that a transition to another train control system is pending, a reading of the valid for the train control system concerned operating parameters from the parameter memory 32 and a reading of the respective operating program 31a, 31b or 31c into the computer module 21, wherein the operating parameters in the described exemplary embodiment are subsequently transmitted from the computer module 21 to the register 23 of the transceiver module 22. This makes it possible that the corresponding operating parameters of the generators 27a, 27b and 27c and the monitoring devices 28a, 28b, 28c can be adapted by configuration to the respective system for point-shaped inductive train control.

Neben den bereits genannten Komponenten weist das Fahrzeuggerät 10 in der Speichereinrichtung 30 eine Softwarekomponente 33 auf, die als Transitions- und/oder STM-Manager bezeichnet werden kann. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Steuerungssoftware, die einerseits dazu dient, beim Übergang von einem System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung zu einem anderen System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung, d.h. beispielsweise an einer Landesgrenze, eine Änderung der Konfiguration des Fahrzeuggerätes 10 während des Fahrtbetriebs zu ermöglichen. Hierzu kann der Transitions- und/oder STM-Manager 33 auf die Betriebsprogramme 31a, 31b, 31c zugreifen. Eine Auswahl des jeweils zur Anwendung vorgesehenen Zugbeeinflussungssystems kann dabei beispielsweise mittels eines an das Fahrzeuggerät 10 übertragenen Signals erfolgen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu ist es auch denkbar, dass seitens des Fahrzeugführers des betreffenden Triebfahrzeugs hardwaretechnisch, d.h. beispielsweise mittels eines Schalters, eine Auswahl des jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystems vorgenommen wird.In addition to the components already mentioned, the vehicle device 10 has a software component 33 in the memory device 30, which can be referred to as a transition and / or STM manager. This is a control software which, on the one hand, is used in the transition from a point-inductive train control system to another point-inductive train control system, i. For example, at a national border to allow a change in the configuration of the vehicle device 10 during the driving operation. For this purpose, the transition and / or STM manager 33 can access the operating programs 31a, 31b, 31c. A selection of the train application system provided for each application can be made, for example, by means of a signal transmitted to the vehicle device 10. As an alternative or in addition to this, it is also conceivable that the driver of the relevant traction vehicle may use hardware technology, i. For example, by means of a switch, a selection of the respective Zugbeeinflussungssystems is made.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei der Darstellung der Figur lediglich um eine schematische Darstellung handelt, die insbesondere nicht alle für eine Funktion des Fahrzeuggerätes 10 erforderlichen Verbindungen zwischen den dargestellten Komponenten zeigt. So wird beispielsweise in der Regel eine unmittelbare Zugriffsmöglichkeit der Rechnerbaugruppe 21 auch auf den Transitions- und/oder STM-Manager 33 bestehen. Darüber hinaus wird das Fahrzeuggerät 10 üblicherweise weitere Komponenten umfassen, die in der Figur aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt sind.It should be noted that the representation of the figure is merely a schematic representation, in particular not all for a function of the vehicle device 10 shows required connections between the components shown. For example, as a rule, an immediate accessibility of the computer module 21 to the transition and / or STM manager 33 will also exist. In addition, the vehicle device 10 will usually include other components, which are not shown in the figure for reasons of clarity.

Neben der Steuerung des Übergangs zwischen unterschiedlichen Zugbeeinflussungssystemen oder auch alternativ hierzu kann der Transitions- und/oder STM-Manager auch den Fall steuern, dass das Fahrzeuggerät 10 als STM (Special Transmission Module) für das europäische Zugsicherungs- beziehungsweise Zugbeeinflussungssystem ETCS (European Train Control System) ausgebildet ist. In diesem Fall kann somit durch den Transitions- und/oder STM-Manager eine steuerungstechnische Anbindung des Fahrzeuggerätes 10 an ein ETCS-Fahrzeuggerät erfolgen.In addition to controlling the transition between different Zugbeeinflussungssystemen or alternatively, the Transitions- and / or STM manager can also control the case that the vehicle unit 10 as STM (Special Transmission Module) for the European train control or train control system ETCS (European Train Control System) is formed. In this case, a control-technical connection of the vehicle device 10 to an ETCS vehicle device can thus be effected by the transition and / or STM manager.

Neben dem Fahrzeuggerät 10 sowie dem Fahrzeugmagneten 40 sind in der Figur weiterhin Eingabe-/Ausgabeeinrichtungen 50 und 51 sowie eine Bremswirkgruppe 52 angedeutet. Hierdurch soll verdeutlicht werden, dass in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweils vorliegenden System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung durch eine entsprechende Konfiguration des Fahrzeuggerätes 10 auch Einfluss auf die Art der Informationsein- und -ausgabe sowie die Art der Einwirkung auf die Bremsen des Fahrzeugs möglich ist. So kann es sich bei der Eingabe-/Ausgabeeinrichtung 50 beispielsweise um Komponenten zur Informations- beziehungsweise Signalein- und -ausgabe für das System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung Indusi und bei der Ausgabeeinrichtung 51 beispielsweise um Komponenten zur Informations- beziehungsweise Signalein- und -ausgabe für das punktförmige induktive Zugbeeinflussungssystem SHP handeln. Neben der Ausgabe von Informationen kann hierbei insbesondere auch die Eingabe von Informationen gesteuert beziehungsweise ausgewählt werden. Somit können die Eingabe-/Ausgabeeinrichtungen 50 und 51, die auch als "Man Machine Interface (MMI)" bezeichnet werden können, insbesondere Tasten, Schalter, Lampen, akustische Signalgeber sowie Mittel zur Eingabe der Zugart umfassen. Mittels der Eingabe-/Ausgabebaugruppe 25 kann hierbei in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystem, d.h. in Abhängigkeit von der jeweils gültigen Konfiguration beziehungsweise Parametrierung des Fahrzeuggerätes 10, eine den Vorgaben des jeweiligen Systems entsprechende Ansteuerung der Eingabe-/Ausgabeeinrichtungen 50, 51 beziehungsweise eine den entsprechenden Vorgaben entsprechenden Kommunikation mit den Eingabe-/Ausgabeeinrichtungen 50, 51 erfolgen.In addition to the vehicle unit 10 and the vehicle magnet 40, input / output devices 50 and 51 and a brake active group 52 are also indicated in the figure. This is to clarify that, depending on the particular system for point-shaped inductive train influencing by a corresponding configuration of the vehicle device 10, influence on the type of information input and output as well as the type of action on the brakes of the vehicle is possible. For example, the input / output device 50 can be components for information or signal input and output for the system for punctiform inductive train influencing Indusi and the output device 51 for example components for information or signal input and output for the point-shaped inductive train control system SHP act. Besides the output of information here can In particular, the input of information controlled or selected. Thus, the input / output devices 50 and 51, which may also be referred to as "Man Machine Interface (MMI)", may include, in particular, buttons, switches, lamps, sounders and means for entering the train type. By means of the input / output module 25 in this case depending on the respective Zugbeeinflussungssystem, ie depending on the respective valid configuration or parameterization of the vehicle unit 10, a corresponding to the requirements of the respective system control of the input / output devices 50, 51 or a corresponding According to specifications corresponding communication with the input / output devices 50, 51 done.

In ähnlicher Weise ist mittels der Bremsausgabebaugruppe 24 eine Einwirkung auf die Bremswirkgruppe 52 möglich, wobei die Art der Einwirkung jeweils wieder konfigurierbar und spezifisch für das jeweilige System zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung ausgebildet sein kann.Similarly, by means of the brake output assembly 24, an action on the brake active group 52 is possible, wherein the type of action can be configured in each case again and configured specifically for the respective system for point-shaped inductive train control.

Gemäß den vorstehenden Ausführungen bietet das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeuggerätes in der Praxis erhebliche Vorteile. So kann die Anzahl der Fahrzeuggeräte an Bord eines Fahrzeugs verringert und gleichzeitig die zur Unterstützung unterschiedlicher Systeme zur induktiven Zugbeeinflussung erforderliche Anzahl von Fahrzeugmagneten verringert werden. Dadurch, dass dieselben Fahrzeugmagnete für unterschiedliche Systeme zur punktförmigen induktiven Zugbeeinflussung verwendet werden können, werden darüber hinaus Einschränkungen hinsichtlich des Einbauorts der Fahrzeugmagnete sowie die damit verbundenen Nachteile bei der Informationsübertragung vermieden.According to the above statements, the described embodiment of the vehicle device according to the invention offers considerable advantages in practice. Thus, the number of vehicle devices on board a vehicle can be reduced while at the same time reducing the number of vehicle magnets required to support different inductive train control systems. By virtue of the fact that the same vehicle magnets can be used for different systems for point-shaped inductive train control, restrictions with regard to the installation location of the vehicle magnets and the associated disadvantages in the transmission of information are furthermore avoided.

Des Weiteren wird durch das beschriebene Fahrzeuggerät die Voraussetzung dafür geschaffen, dass über Ländergrenzen hinweg eine "fahrende Transition", d.h. ein Übergang ohne erforderlichen Halt des Fahrzeugs, sowohl mit als auch ohne ETCS erfolgen kann. Vorteilhafterweise ist hierbei im Falle von ETCS nur ein STM für alle zu unterstützenden Altsysteme erforderlich.Furthermore, the vehicle unit described provides the prerequisite for a "traveling transition" across national borders, i. a transition can be made without requiring the vehicle to stop, both with and without ETCS. Advantageously, in the case of ETCS, only one STM is required for all legacy systems to be supported.

Insgesamt ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeuggerät beziehungsweise das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel desselben somit eine deutliche Reduktion von Aufwänden und Kosten und bringt darüber hinaus in der betrieblichen Praxis erhebliche Vorteile mit sich.Overall, the vehicle device according to the invention or the described embodiment of the same thus allows a significant reduction of expenses and costs and also brings in operational practice considerable advantages.
