Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de génération et d'édition d'un schéma de signalisation ferroviaire, du type comprenant un schéma de voies d'une portion d'un réseau ferroviaire et des équipements de voie disposés sur la portion du réseau, chaque équipement de voie comprenant des caractéristiques particulières, le procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes :

  • entrée par un utilisateur de données topologiques de la portion du réseau ferroviaire, et
  • génération automatique par des moyens de calcul d'un schéma de voies de la portion du réseau ferroviaire à partir des données topologiques.
The present invention relates to a method for generating and editing a railway signaling scheme, of the type comprising a track diagram of a portion of a railway network and track equipment disposed on the portion of the network, each equipment pathway comprising particular features, the method comprising the steps of:
  • entry by a user of topological data of the portion of the railway network, and
  • automatic generation by calculation means of a channel diagram of the portion of the railway network from the topological data.

L'invention concerne également un dispositif mettant en oeuvre le procédé de génération et d'édition d'un schéma de signalisation ferroviaire.The invention also relates to a device implementing the method of generating and editing a rail signaling scheme.

L'invention s'applique au domaine ferroviaire et plus particulièrement à la génération et l'édition de schémas de signalisation ferroviaire ou plans techniques pour une installation ferroviaire.The invention applies to the railway field and more particularly to the generation and editing of railway signaling schemes or technical plans for a railway installation.

Le schéma de signalisation d'une installation ferroviaire regroupe en plus du tracé ou plan des voies, des informations topologiques telles que la position des gares, rails, aiguilles, les dénivelés et les rayons de courbure ainsi que les équipements de voies tels que les feux, signaux, balises...The signaling scheme of a railway installation includes, in addition to the route or the plan of the tracks, topological information such as the position of the stations, rails, needles, elevations and curvature radii as well as track equipment such as fires. , signals, tags ...

Ils sont générés en respectant des contraintes exprimées par des normes et par un client, par exemple en termes de disponibilité de la voie, de vitesse de circulation des matériels pour obtenir un certain débit.They are generated in compliance with constraints expressed by standards and by a customer, for example in terms of the availability of the track, speed of movement of the equipment to obtain a certain flow.

Classiquement, pour réaliser un schéma de signalisation ferroviaire, il faut reproduire graphiquement le tracé de la portion de voie ferroviaire selon les informations topologiques. De façon connue, le tracé de la portion de voie ferroviaire est appelé schéma ou plan de voies.Conventionally, to achieve a rail signaling scheme, it is necessary to graphically reproduce the route of the rail section portion according to the topological information. In a known manner, the layout of the railway track portion is called a track plan or plan.

Ensuite, des équipements de voie tels que des éléments de signalisation, sont positionnés sur le plan de voie, en fonction du type de matériel qui va y circuler et des normes en vigueur dans le pays. Par exemple, les éléments de signalisation sont des garages francs, des signaux, des indications...Then, track equipment such as signaling elements, are positioned on the track plan, depending on the type of equipment that will circulate and the standards in force in the country. For example, the signaling elements are free garages, signals, indications ...

Enfin, des tables de contrôles et d'enclenchements applicables aux signaux et les itinéraires possibles sur la portion de voie ferroviaire sont générés. Ces tables sont très utiles au chef de gare afin de gérer le trafic ferroviaire. Par exemple, une table d'enclenchements pour un itinéraire donné comporte l'ensemble des actions réalisées par différents organes de commande d'équipements de voie ou de signaux dans le but de n'autoriser le passage dans un sens d'un véhicule ferroviaire que lorsque toutes les conditions de sécurité nécessaires à ce mouvement sont réalisées.Finally, control and interlocking tables applicable to the signals and the possible routes on the portion of the railway track are generated. These tables are very useful to the stationmaster to manage rail traffic. For example, an interlocking table for a given route comprises all the actions performed by different control devices of track equipment or signals for the purpose of authorize the passage in one direction of a railway vehicle only when all the necessary safety conditions for this movement are realized.

Ainsi, pour répondre aux conditions de sécurité, des règles de positionnement des différents équipements de voie connues par l'homme du métier sont utilisées pour générer chaque schéma de signalisation ferroviaire.Thus, to meet the safety conditions, positioning rules of the various track equipment known to those skilled in the art are used to generate each rail signaling scheme.

Par exemple, un train ne doit pas s'engager sur un tronçon de voie du réseau si les quatre tronçons suivants ne sont pas libres, c'est-à-dire si l'un d'eux est occupé par un autre véhicule ferroviaire. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire de positionner un panneau en amont du tronçon de voie signalant si le train peut s'y engager ou non. La position du panneau est déterminée entre autre par la vitesse des trains circulant sur le réseau afin de prévoir une distance d'arrêt pour le train si les tronçons suivants ne sont pas libres.For example, a train must not engage on a section of the track of the network if the following four sections are not free, that is to say if one of them is occupied by another railway vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to position a panel upstream of the section of track signaling whether the train can engage or not. The position of the panel is determined inter alia by the speed of trains running on the network to provide a stopping distance for the train if the following sections are not free.

Néanmoins, le schéma de signalisation ferroviaire est générer par plusieurs opérateurs en fonction de leur spécialité. Chaque opérateur implémente le schéma de signalisation ferroviaire avec des équipements de voies dont il a la charge et selon des règles de positionnement qui lui sont propres. Il peut modifier des équipements ajoutés par d'autres opérateurs.Nevertheless, the railway signaling scheme is generated by several operators according to their specialty. Each operator implements the railway signaling scheme with track equipment for which he is responsible and according to specific positioning rules. It can modify equipment added by other operators.

De plus, les règles utilisées pour la génération peuvent être différentes d'un opérateur à l'autre et ne sont pas mentionnées dans la version finale du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire.In addition, the rules used for generation may be different from one operator to another and are not mentioned in the final version of the railway signaling scheme.

En outre, classiquement le schéma de signalisation est implémenté successivement par les opérateurs sur une version papier du schéma des voies, entrainant un processus long de génération de la version complète et définitive du schéma de signalisation.In addition, the signaling scheme is conventionally implemented successively by the operators on a paper version of the channel diagram, resulting in a long process of generating the complete and definitive version of the signaling scheme.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé et un dispositif de génération et d'édition d'un schéma de signalisation ferroviaire de façon standardisée et automatique et permettant ainsi une génération fiable et rapide du schéma.The object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for generating and editing a rail signaling scheme in a standardized and automatic manner and thus enabling a reliable and rapid generation of the scheme.

En outre, le procédé comporte une étape 106 de choix par un opérateur d'une pluralité d'équipements de voie à disposer sur le plan de voies et des règles de positionnement associées à un ensemble prédéfini d'équipements de voies. Chaque équipement de voie est associé à des caractéristiques particulières telles que sa position, son état de fonctionnement en fonction de normes et de règles de sécurité, un icône standardisé dans le domaine ferroviaire... Toutes ces caractéristiques ont été stockées préalablement dans la deuxième base de données 12 de l'unité de stockage 6.In addition, the method includes a step 106 of an operator choosing from a plurality of channel equipment to be arranged on the channel plane and positioning rules associated with a predefined set of channel equipment. Each track equipment is associated with particular characteristics such as its position, its operating status according to standards and safety rules, an icon standardized in the railway field ... All these characteristics have been previously stored in the second database 12 of the storage unit 6.

Par exemple, l'opérateur sélectionne dans la deuxième base de données 12 une pluralité de règles en fonction des normes, des équipements à insérer et des contraintes imposées par le client.For example, the operator selects in the second database 12 a plurality of rules according to the standards, equipment to insert and constraints imposed by the client.

Ensuite, au cours d'une étape 108, l'opérateur choisit l'ordre d'exécution des règles choisies de positionnement des équipements de voie en les classant par séquences d'opérations à effectuer.Then, during a step 108, the operator selects the order of execution of the chosen rules for positioning the track equipment by classifying them by sequences of operations to be performed.

Par exemple, de façon connue la première séquence concerne les garages francs :

  1. 1. Calcul d'une distance pointe d'aiguille :garage franc pour un type d'aiguille donné et enregistrement de la valeur dans l'unité de stockage 6.
  2. 2. Positionnement d'un garage franc à la distance calculée de chaque aiguille du schéma
For example, in a known manner the first sequence concerns free garages:
  1. 1. Calculation of a needle tip distance: free garage for a given needle type and recording of the value in the storage unit 6.
  2. 2. Positioning a free garage at the calculated distance of each drawing needle

D'autres séquences de règles concernent la définition des points du réseau ferroviaire à protéger (garage franc, aiguille...), la génération des signaux d'arrêt et d'avertissement et le calcul de la position des panneaux de signalisation des signaux...Other sequences of rules concern the definition of points of the railway network to be protected (free garage, needle ...), the generation of stop and warning signals and the calculation of the position of the signal signs. ..

Au cours de cette étape l'opérateur peut modifier des caractéristiques de certaines règles enregistrées dans l'unité de stockage 6.During this step the operator can modify characteristics of certain rules recorded in the storage unit 6.

Le procédé comprend en outre une étape 110 de génération automatique par les moyens de calcul 14 du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire de la portion du réseau à partir des règles de positionnement choisies des équipements de voie et du plan de voies ferroviaires.The method further comprises a step 110 of automatic generation by the calculation means 14 of the rail signaling scheme of the portion of the network from the selected positioning rules of the track equipment and the railway track plan.

En particulier, les moyens de calcul 14 calculent la position de chaque équipement de voie au moyen d'une règle de positionnement choisie dans la deuxième base de données 12.In particular, the calculation means 14 calculate the position of each track equipment by means of a positioning rule chosen in the second database 12.

Les moyens de calcul 14 insèrent à l'échelle, dans le plan de voies les icônes de chaque équipement de voies relatifs à leurs signalisation en fonction de leur position calculée.The calculation means 14 scale, in the lane plan, the icons of each lane equipment relating to their signaling according to their calculated position.

Pour cela, les moyens de calcul 14 utilisent les règles de la deuxième base de données 12 pour détecter les points du schéma de voies à protéger et placer un signal devant celui-ci.For this, the calculation means 14 use the rules of the second database 12 to detect the points of the path scheme to protect and place a signal in front of it.

En outre, ils découpent la portion du réseau en zones entre deux signaux successifs.In addition, they cut the portion of the network into zones between two successive signals.

Le schéma de signalisation ainsi généré comporte alors le tracé des voies ferroviaires et les équipements de voies insérés sur celui-ci, par exemple : les points kilométriques, aiguillages, passages à niveau, ponts, tunnels..., ainsi que leurs éléments de signalisation tels que les signaux et panneaux de signalisation.The signaling scheme thus generated then comprises the layout of the railway tracks and the track equipment inserted on it, for example: the points kilometers, points, crossings, bridges, tunnels ..., as well as their signaling elements such as signals and signs.

Un autre opérateur modifie manuellement s'il le souhaite ou si nécessaire au moins une caractéristique particulière d'un équipement de voie du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire généré au cours d'une étape 112. Au cours de cette étape, la motivation de sa modification et la ou les règles utilisées lui sont demandées par les moyens de calcul 14. Ces dernières données sont enregistrées ainsi que leur date dans l'unité de stockage 6 du dispositif 2.Another operator manually modifies if he wishes or if necessary at least one particular characteristic of a track equipment of the railway signaling scheme generated during a step 112. During this step, the motivation of its modification and the rule or rules used are requested by the computing means 14. The latter data are recorded and their date in the storage unit 6 of the device 2.

Par la suite, une étape 114 est exécutée par les moyens de calcul 14 afin de vérifier automatiquement que la ou les modifications manuelles apportées sont conformes aux règles choisies et aux contraintes du client.Subsequently, a step 114 is executed by the calculation means 14 in order to automatically check that the manual modification or modifications made comply with the rules chosen and the constraints of the client.

Si les règles de positionnement ont été respectées, une étape 116 de sauvegarde du plan de signalisation généré est exécutée par l'ordinateur central dans l'unité de stockage 6. Au cours de cette étape, les règles utilisées pour générer le schéma de signalisation et les modifications éventuelles apportées sont également sauvegardées.If the positioning rules have been respected, a step 116 of saving the generated signaling plan is executed by the central computer in the storage unit 6. During this step, the rules used to generate the signaling scheme and any changes made are also saved.

Des étapes respectives 118 et 120 du procédé 100 permettent de générer automatique par les moyens de calcul 14 d'une part des itinéraires possibles sur la portion de voies ferroviaires à partir du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire généré et d'autre part une table d'enclenchements pour chaque itinéraire possible du réseau de voies ferroviaires.The respective steps 118 and 120 of the method 100 make it possible to generate automatically by the calculating means 14 on the one hand possible routes on the portion of railway tracks from the railway signaling scheme generated and on the other hand an interlocking table. for each possible route of the railway network.

Les moyens de calcul 14 calculent tous les itinéraires, c'est-à-dire tous les parcours entre deux signaux, de la portion du réseau en tenant compte des contraintes physiques, par exemple les équipements de voie rencontrés puis élimine les itinéraires impossibles.The calculation means 14 calculate all the routes, that is to say all the paths between two signals, of the portion of the network taking into account the physical constraints, for example the track equipment encountered and then eliminates the impossible routes.

La table d'enclenchements est calculée par les moyens de calcul 14 à partir des règles intégrées à la deuxième base de données 12, par déduction des conditions d'état des signaux pour chaque itinéraire possible des équipements de voie du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire.The interlock table is calculated by the calculation means 14 from the rules integrated in the second database 12, by deduction of the signal status conditions for each possible route of the track equipment of the railway signaling scheme.

Le procédé comporte en outre une étape 122 d'édition du schéma de signalisation ferroviaire par les moyens d'édition 20, par exemple le schéma est imprimé sur du papier.The method further comprises a step 122 of editing the railway signaling scheme by the editing means 20, for example the diagram is printed on paper.

Un des avantages du dispositif 2 est qu'il permet de s'assurer que tous les opérateurs travaillant sur un même schéma de signalisation ferroviaire à générer utilisent les mêmes règles. Il assure également une traçabilité de la modification des règles puisque les modifications manuelles sont enregistrées.One of the advantages of the device 2 is that it makes it possible to ensure that all the operators working on the same railway signaling scheme to be generated use the same rules. It also ensures traceability of rule changes as manual changes are recorded.

En outre, le dispositif permet aux différents d'opérateurs de visualiser le schéma de signalisation ferroviaire tout au long de sa conception pour valider et/ou modifier en temps réel les différentes étapes de sa génération. Cette visualisation permet de gérer les écarts entre les règles applicables et les choix du client.In addition, the device allows the various operators to view the railway signaling scheme throughout its design to validate and / or modify in real time the different stages of his generation. This visualization makes it possible to manage the differences between the applicable rules and the choices of the customer.

De plus, le dispositif permet de générer et d'éditer les tables d'enclenchements associées à chaque élément de signalisation en fonction des règles choisies de façon rapide, contrairement à l'état de la technique dans lequel ces tables ne peuvent pas être éditées avant que le schéma de signalisation ne soit imprimé à l'échelle.In addition, the device makes it possible to generate and edit the interlocking tables associated with each signaling element according to the rules chosen quickly, contrary to the state of the art in which these tables can not be edited before that the signaling scheme is printed on the scale.

En outre, le schéma de signalisation ferroviaire édité est complet et vérifié.In addition, the published railway signaling scheme is complete and verified.

Toutes ces données sont éditables dans un fichier du type RailmL, qui est un type de fichier d'échange connu du domaine ferroviaire entre une pluralité de dispositifs.All these data are editable in a RailmL type file, which is a type of swap file known in the railway domain between a plurality of devices.

Ce dispositif et le procédé associé permettent de centraliser et d'obtenir une grande disponibilité des données concernant un schéma de signalisation ferroviaire d'une même portion d'un réseau ferroviaire, engendrant ainsi un gain de temps et de fiabilité.This device and the associated method make it possible to centralize and obtain a high availability of data relating to a rail signaling scheme for the same portion of a railway network, thereby saving time and reliability.
