Description

Im Rahmen des Betriebs beziehungsweise der Steuerung spurgebundener Fahrzeuge, bei denen es sich neben Schienenfahrzeugen beispielsweise um spurgeführte Fahrzeuge mit Gummibereifung oder Magnetschwebefahrzeuge handeln kann, kann für unterschiedliche Arten von Fahrzeugen eine unterschiedliche Behandlung durch Steuereinrichtungen zweckmäßig sein. So kann beispielsweise im Falle von spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen in Form von Schienenfahrzeugen seitens eines Stellwerks im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs ein Gefahrpunktabstand und/oder ein Durchrutschweg für das jeweilige Fahrzeug in Abhängigkeit von der unterschiedlichen Bremsweglänge von Güter- und Nahverkehrszügen bedarfsgerecht bestimmt beziehungsweise eingestellt werden.As part of the operation or the control of track-bound vehicles, which may be, for example, track-guided vehicles with rubber tires or magnetic levitation vehicles, different treatment by control devices may be appropriate for different types of vehicles. For example, in the case of track-bound vehicles in the form of rail vehicles on the part of an interlocking in the context of securing the travel of the respective vehicle, a danger point distance and / or a Durchrutschweg for each vehicle depending on the different braking distance of goods and local trains determined or adjusted as needed become.

Üblicherweise werden die Zugarten hierbei bei Mischverkehr, d.h. beispielsweise bei einem gleichzeitigen Betrieb von Güter- und Nahverkehrszügen, im Rahmen der Leittechnik durch eine Zuglenkung mittels Zuglauf- und Zugnummernverfolgung unterschieden. Dies weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass es sich bei dieser Vorgehensweise um ein nicht sicheres Verfahren gemäß Sicherheitsanforderungsstufe (SIL, Safety Integrity Level) 0 bis 2 handelt. Im Falle einer Störung der Zuglenkung ergibt sich hierbei aus Sicherheitsgründen die Notwendigkeit, die Fahrstraßen für alle Züge mit langen Durchrutschwegen beziehungsweise großen Gefahrpunktabständen zu bestimmen beziehungsweise einzustellen. Hierdurch kann sich beispielsweise für Stadtbahnzüge eine Vergrößerung der Zugfolgezeit, d.h. eine Verringerung der Anzahl der Fahrzeuge pro Zeiteinheit, die eine Strecke befahren können, ergeben, wodurch erhebliche Störungen des Betriebsablaufs verursacht werden können.Usually, the types of trains here in mixed traffic, ie, for example, in a simultaneous operation of freight and local trains, distinguished in the context of the control technology by a Zuglenkung means train and train number tracking. However, this has the disadvantage that this procedure is a non-safe method according to safety integrity level (SIL) 0 to 2. In the case of a disturbance of the train steering arises here for safety reasons, the need to determine the routes for all trains with long landslide or large danger point intervals or set. As a result, for example, for light rail trains an increase in the train following time, ie a reduction in the number of vehicles per unit time, which can travel a route result, which can cause significant disruption of the operation.

Ein Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der veröffentlichten europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 1 693 271 A1 bekannt. Hierbei wird im Falle einer Detektion einer aktivierten in Fahrtrichtung linken Zustandsübertragungseinrichtung ein Zwangsbremssignal in Bezug auf das betreffende Fahrzeug ausgesendet.A method according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the published European patent application EP 1 693 271 A1 known. In this case, in the case of detection of an activated in the direction of travel left state transmission device, an emergency brake signal is transmitted with respect to the relevant vehicle.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein besonders zuverlässiges und zugleich vergleichsweise einfach realisierbares Verfahren zum Betreiben eines spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide a particularly reliable and at the same time relatively easy to implement method for operating a track-bound vehicle.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs, wobei von einer streckenseitigen Vorrichtung durch Erfassen eines von einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs abgestrahlten Signals das Vorhandensein der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung detektiert wird, von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung ein die Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung angebendes Informations-Signal an eine Steuereinrichtung übertragen wird und das Informations-Signal von der Steuereinrichtung im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bei einer Bestimmung eines Gefahrpunktabstandes und/oder eines Durchrutschweges für das spurgebundene Fahrzeug berücksichtigt wird.This object is achieved by a method for operating a track-bound vehicle, wherein the presence of the vehicle-side train-influencing device is detected by a track-side device by detecting a radiated from a vehicle-side train-influencing device of the track-bound vehicle, the detection of the trackside device the information signal indicative of the vehicle-mounted train control device is transmitted to a control device and the information signal is taken into account by the control device during the securing of the travel path of the tracked vehicle when determining a danger point distance and / or a slipping path for the tracked vehicle.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass eine streckenseitige, d.h. beispielsweise mit Komponenten der Außenanlage eines elektronischen Stellwerks vorgenommene Unterscheidung unterschiedlicher Arten spurgebundener Fahrzeuge in der betrieblichen Praxis erhebliche Vorteile mit sich bringt. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt dabei eine Unterscheidung vorteilhafterweise dahingehend, dass von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung durch Erfassen eines von einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs abgestrahlten Signals das Vorhandensein der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung detektiert wird. Dies ermöglicht es, das Vorhandensein beziehungsweise Nichtvorhandensein der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung in der Folge im Rahmen des Betriebs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs als Kriterium für die Art des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs zu berücksichtigen. Zu diesem Zweck wird von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung das die Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung angebende Informations-Signal an die Steuereinrichtung übertragen. Dabei kann es sich bei der Steuereinrichtung insbesondere um eine zentrale Steuereinrichtung, beispielsweise in Form eines Stellwerks oder einer Leitstelle, handeln. Seitens der Steuereinrichtung besteht anhand des empfangenen Informations-Signals die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Fahrzeug- beziehungsweise Zugarten in Form von mit beziehungsweise nicht mit einer Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung ausgestatteten Fahrzeugen zu unterscheiden. Dadurch, dass fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtungen üblicherweise in Abhängigkeit von der zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeit des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs vorgeschrieben sind, sind hieraus gegebenenfalls weitere Informationen ableitbar, die ebenfalls im Rahmen des weiteren Betriebs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs berücksichtigt werden können. So sind beispielsweise im Bereich des Schienenverkehrs üblicherweise Güterzüge und Fernverkehrszüge mit fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtungen ausgerüstet, während dies für vergleichsweise niedrige Höchstgeschwindigkeiten aufweisende Nahverkehrszüge in Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten unter Umständen oder auch regelmäßig nicht der Fall ist.The present invention is based on the finding that a trackside, ie, for example, made with components of the outdoor installation of an electronic interlocking differentiation of different types track-bound Vehicles in operational practice brings significant benefits. According to the invention, a distinction advantageously takes place in that the track-side device detects the presence of the vehicle-side train-influencing device by detecting a signal radiated from a vehicle-side train-influencing device of the track-bound vehicle. This makes it possible to consider the presence or absence of the on-board train control device as part of the operation of the tracked vehicle as a criterion for the type of tracked vehicle. For this purpose, the information signal indicating the detection of the vehicle-side train-influencing device is transmitted to the control device by the trackside device. In this case, the control device can in particular be a central control device, for example in the form of a signal box or a control station. On the part of the control device, based on the received information signal, it is possible to distinguish different types of vehicles or trains in the form of vehicles equipped with or not equipped with a train control device. Due to the fact that on-board train-control devices are usually prescribed as a function of the permissible maximum speed of the respective vehicle, additional information can optionally be derived therefrom which can also be taken into account in the further operation of the track-bound vehicle. For example, in the field of rail transport, freight trains and long-distance trains are usually equipped with on-board train control facilities, while local trains operating at comparatively low speeds depend on the particular circumstances or even regularly is not the case.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist vorteilhaft, da es mittels der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung eine automatische Erkennung von solchen spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen ermöglicht, die mit einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung ausgestattet sind. Vorteilhafterweise wird hierzu das von der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahlte Signal erfasst, so dass auf zusätzliche fahrzeugseitige Komponenten vorteilhafterweise verzichtet werden kann. So wird bei einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Zugbeeinflussungssysteme, insbesondere Systemen zur punktförmigen Zugbeeinflussung, zwecks Kommunikation mit einer streckenseitigen Einrichtung, bei der es sich beispielsweise um einen Gleisschwingkreis oder eine Balise handeln kann, von einer fahrzeugseitigen Einrichtung ein Signal abgestrahlt. Dieses Signal kann beispielsweise eine vorgegebene Frequenz oder auch mehrere vorgegebene Frequenzen aufweisen. Unabhängig von der Art des abgestrahlten Signals ist die fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung vorzugsweise ohnehin bereits gemäß der höchsten Sicherheitsanforderungsstufe SIL 4 ausgeführt, so dass bei einer entsprechenden Realisierung der streckenseitigen Komponenten insgesamt höchste Sicherheitsanforderungen erfüllt werden können. Darüber hinaus reagiert das spurgebundene Fahrzeug im Falle einer defekten fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung vorteilhafterweise dahingehend zur sicheren Seite, dass es entsprechend langsamer fährt, wodurch mögliche Gefährdungen aufgrund des Nichterkennens des Vorhandenseins einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung zuverlässig vermieden werden.The method according to the invention is advantageous because it enables automatic recognition of track-bound vehicles equipped with a vehicle-side train-influencing device by means of the track-side device. For this purpose, the signal emitted by the vehicle-side train-influencing device is advantageously detected, so that it is advantageously possible to dispense with additional vehicle-mounted components. Thus, in a plurality of different train control systems, in particular systems for punctiform train control, for purposes of communication with a trackside device, which may be, for example, a track resonant or a balise, a signal emitted by a vehicle-mounted device. This signal may, for example, have a predetermined frequency or also a plurality of predetermined frequencies. Regardless of the nature of the radiated signal, the vehicle-side train-influencing device is preferably already designed in accordance with the highest safety requirement level SIL 4, so that a corresponding realization of the track-side components overall highest safety requirements can be met. Moreover, in the case of a defective on-board train control device, the tracked vehicle advantageously reacts to the safe side so that it drives correspondingly slower, thereby reliably avoiding potential hazards due to the failure to recognize the presence of an on-board train control device.

Erfindungsgemäß wird das Informations-Signal von der Steuereinrichtung im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs berücksichtigt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da insbesondere bei der Sicherung des Fahrwegs spurgebundener Fahrzeuge eine Unterscheidung von solchen Fahrzeugen, die eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen, und solchen Fahrzeugen, die nicht über eine entsprechende fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung verfügen, zweckmäßig ist. So gilt für nicht mit einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung ausgestattete Schienenfahrzeuge in der Regel eine reduzierte zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit, die beispielsweise bei 60 km/h oder 100 km/h liegen kann. Die entsprechende Information kann somit vorteilhafterweise im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs berücksichtigt werden.According to the invention, the information signal from the control device in the context of securing the infrastructure of the track-bound Vehicle considered. This is advantageous since, in particular when securing the track of track-bound vehicles, it is expedient to distinguish those vehicles which have a vehicle-side train-influencing device and those vehicles which do not have a corresponding vehicle-side train-influencing device. For example, rail vehicles not equipped with an on-board train control device generally have a reduced maximum permissible speed, which may be, for example, 60 km / h or 100 km / h. The corresponding information can thus be considered advantageously in the context of securing the travel path of the respective vehicle.

Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird das Informations-Signal von der Steuereinrichtung im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bei einer Bestimmung eines Gefahrpunktabstandes und/oder eines Durchrutschweges für das spurgebundene Fahrzeug berücksichtigt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da somit anhand des Informations-Signals Gefahrpunktabstände und/oder Durchrutschwege in Abhängigkeit von der unterschiedlichen Bremsweglänge beispielsweise von Güter- und Nahverkehrszügen bedarfsgerecht bestimmt beziehungsweise eingestellt werden können. Hierdurch ist vorteilhafterweise unabhängig von der Funktionsfähigkeit und der Zuverlässigkeit einer zur Zuglenkung verwendeten Komponente eine Erhöhung der Zugfolge möglich, wodurch sich insgesamt eine Optimierung der Verkehrsströme ergibt.According to the method according to the invention, the information signal is taken into account by the control device in the course of securing the travel path of the track-bound vehicle when determining a danger point distance and / or a slipping path for the track-bound vehicle. This is advantageous since the information signal enables danger point distances and / or slip distances to be determined or set as required as a function of the different braking distance length, for example of freight and local trains. As a result, it is advantageously possible to increase the train sequence independently of the functionality and the reliability of a component used for train guidance, resulting in an overall optimization of the traffic flows.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren derart ausgeführt, dass von der Steuereinrichtung das Informations-Signal dem jeweiligen spurgebundenen Fahrzeug zugeordnet wird und hierauf basierend von der Steuereinrichtung solche spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge, die eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen, von solchen weiteren spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen unterschieden werden, die keine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen. Hierbei kann die Zuordnung des Informations-Signals zu dem jeweiligen spurgebundenen Fahrzeug beispielsweise unter zusätzlicher Verwendung einer Information zum Ort des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs erfolgen. Bei einer entsprechenden Information kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Belegungsinformation handeln, welche angibt, dass ein bestimmtes spurgebundenes Fahrzeug einen Streckenabschnitt belegt beziehungsweise befährt, in dem die streckenseitige Vorrichtung angeordnet ist. So sind beispielsweise einer Steuereinrichtung in Form eines Stellwerks beziehungsweise einer Leitstelle üblicherweise die jeweiligen Positionen der überwachten beziehungsweise gesteuerten spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge bekannt. Hierdurch wird somit seitens der Steuereinrichtung vorteilhafterweise eine Unterscheidung von Fahrzeugen mit und ohne fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung ermöglicht, so dass auch für solche spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge, die keine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen, anhand des Ausbleibens eines Informations-Signals eine eindeutige Aussage der Art "keine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung vorhanden" möglich ist.According to a particularly preferred development, the method according to the invention is embodied such that the information signal is assigned to the respective track-bound vehicle by the control device and, based thereon, by the control device such track-bound vehicles, which have a vehicle-side train control device, are distinguished from such other track-bound vehicles that have no vehicle-side train control device. In this case, the assignment of the information signal to the respective track-bound vehicle can be effected, for example, with the additional use of information about the location of the track-bound vehicle. Such information may, for example, be an allocation information indicating that a particular track-bound vehicle is occupying or driving a route section in which the track-side device is arranged. Thus, for example, a control device in the form of an interlocking or a control center usually the respective positions of the monitored or controlled track-bound vehicles known. As a result, a distinction between vehicles with and without vehicle-side train control device is thus advantageously made possible by the control device, so that even for those track-bound vehicles that have no vehicle-side train control device based on the absence of an information signal a clear statement of the kind "no on-board train control device present "is possible.

Grundsätzlich kann es sich im Rahmen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bei der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung um eine Komponente eines beliebigen Zugbeeinflussungs- beziehungsweise Zugsicherungssystems handeln. Im Sinne einer zuverlässigen Detektion des Vorhandenseins der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung ist hierbei grundsätzlich lediglich eine dauerhafte beziehungsweise zumindest im Wesentlichen dauerhafte Abstrahlung des Signals erforderlich. In Abhängigkeit von dem jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystem kann sich hierbei auch die jeweilige Art der Realisierung der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung unterscheiden.Basically, in the context of the method according to the invention, the vehicle-side train-influencing device can be a component of any train-influencing or train-securing system. In the sense of a reliable detection of the presence of the vehicle-side train-influencing device, basically only a permanent or at least substantially permanent radiation of the signal is required. Depending on the respective train control system, the respective type of implementation may be used distinguish the on-board train control device.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung ein von zumindest einem Fahrzeugschwingkreis, insbesondere zumindest einem Indusi-Fahrzeugschwingkreis, der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahltes Signal erfasst. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da bekannte Zugbeeinflussungssysteme häufig mit fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtungen arbeiten, die mittels zumindest eines Fahrzeugschwingkreises ein Signal vorgegebener Frequenz beziehungsweise mehrere Signale vorgegebener Frequenzen abstrahlen. Bei entsprechenden Zugbeeinflussungssystemen kann es sich beispielsweise um die Systeme Integra-Signum, ETCS (European Train Control System) oder KVB (Contrôle de vitesse par balises) handeln. Darüber hinaus kann es sich bei der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung vorteilhafterweise insbesondere um einen Indusi-Fahrzeugschwingkreis handeln, d.h. einen Fahrzeugschwingkreis des induktiven Zugsicherungs- beziehungsweise Zugbeeinflussungssystems Indusi. Bei diesem System, das beispielsweise im Fern- und Güterverkehr in Deutschland, Österreich und in den Nachfolgeländern Jugoslawiens im Einsatz ist, strahlt die fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung in Form eines Fahrzeugschwingkreises, der auch als Fahrzeugmagnet bezeichnet wird, Signale der Frequenz 500 Hz, 1000 Hz und 2000 Hz dauerhaft ab. Durch ein Erfassen beziehungsweise Erkennen eines oder mehrerer dieser Signale ist es somit vorteilhafterweise möglich, die fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung in Form des zumindest einen Fahrzeugschwingkreises zu erkennen und in der Folge spurgebundener Fahrzeuge mit und ohne entsprechende fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung zu unterscheiden.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the track-side device detects a signal emitted by at least one vehicle resonant circuit, in particular at least one Indusi vehicle resonant circuit, of the vehicle-side train influencing device. This is advantageous because known train control systems often work with on-board train control devices which emit a signal of predetermined frequency or a plurality of signals of predetermined frequencies by means of at least one vehicle resonant circuit. Corresponding train control systems can be, for example, the systems Integra-Signum, ETCS (European Train Control System) or KVB (Controle de vitesse par balises). In addition, the vehicle-side train-influencing device may advantageously be, in particular, an Indusi vehicle resonant circuit, ie a vehicle resonant circuit of the inductive train control or train influencing system Indusi. In this system, which is used for example in long-distance and freight traffic in Germany, Austria and the successor countries of Yugoslavia, the vehicle-side train control device in the form of a vehicle resonant circuit, which is also referred to as a vehicle magnet, the frequency 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz permanently off. By detecting or recognizing one or more of these signals, it is thus advantageously possible to identify the vehicle-side train-influencing device in the form of the at least one vehicle resonant circuit and to differentiate it in the wake of track-bound vehicles with and without corresponding vehicle-side train-influencing device.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren derart weitergebildet, dass das von der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahlte Signal durch eine zumindest eine Spule aufweisende streckenseitige Vorrichtung erfasst wird. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da entsprechende streckenseitige Vorrichtungen vergleichsweise kostengünstig realisierbar sind und eine zuverlässige Erfassung des von der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahlten Signals ermöglichen. Vorzugsweise kann es sich dabei bei der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung um eine im Rahmen des jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystems zur Kommunikation mit der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung verwendete und somit ohnehin vorhandene streckenseitige Komponente handeln. So kann die streckenseitigen Vorrichtung beispielsweise einen auch als Gleismagnet bezeichneten Gleisschwingkreis aufweisen, wie er etwa im Rahmen des Zugbeeinflussungssystems Indusi zur Informationsübertragung an die fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung verwendet wird. Alternativ hierzu ist es jedoch auch möglich, dass es sich bei der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung um eine sonstige, nicht darüber hinaus auch im Rahmen des jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystems verwendete Komponente handelt. In diesem Fall kann die Spule beispielsweise als Bestandteil einer auch als Schaltmagnet bezeichneten Detektionseinrichtung der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung ausgebildet sein.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the method according to the invention is developed in such a way that the signal emitted by the vehicle-side train-influencing device is detected by a track-side device having at least one coil. This is advantageous since corresponding track-side devices can be realized comparatively inexpensively and enable reliable detection of the signal emitted by the vehicle-side train-influencing device. In this case, the trackside device may preferably be a trackside component that is used within the scope of the respective train control system for communication with the vehicle-side train-influencing device and thus already exists anyway. Thus, the trackside device may for example have a track resonant circuit, also referred to as a track magnet, as used in the context of the train control system Indusi for transmitting information to the vehicle-side train-influencing device. Alternatively, however, it is also possible for the trackside device to be another component which is not also used in the context of the respective train control system. In this case, the coil may be formed, for example, as part of a detection device, also referred to as a switching magnet, of the trackside device.

Hinsichtlich der Anordnung liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung anzugeben, die ein besonders zuverlässiges und zugleich vergleichsweise einfach realisierbares Verfahren zum Betreiben eines spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs unterstützt.With regard to the arrangement, the present invention has the object to provide an arrangement that supports a particularly reliable and at the same time comparatively easy to implement method for operating a track-bound vehicle.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Anordnung mit einer Steuereinrichtung sowie einer streckenseitigen Vorrichtung mit einer Detektionseinrichtung zum Detektieren des Vorhandenseins einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung eines spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs durch Erfassen eines von der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahlten Signals und einer Übertragungseinrichtung zum Übertragen eines die Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung angebenden Informations-Signals an die Steuereinrichtung, wobei die Steuereinrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie das Informations-Signal im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bei einer Bestimmung eines Gefahrpunktabstandes und/oder eines Durchrutschweges für das spurgebundene Fahrzeug berücksichtigt.This object is achieved by an arrangement with a control device and a trackside device with a detection device for detecting the presence of a vehicle-side train control device of a track-bound vehicle by detecting a radiated from the vehicle-side train control device signal and a transmission device for transmitting a detection of the on the vehicle-side train control device indicating information signal to the control device, wherein the control device is designed such that it takes into account the information signal in the context of securing the track of the track bound vehicle in a determination of a danger point distance and / or a slip path for the tracked vehicle.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung entsprechen im Wesentlichen denjenigen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, so dass diesbezüglich auf die entsprechenden vorstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen wird. Gleiches gilt hinsichtlich der im Folgenden genannten bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung im Hinblick auf die jeweiligen entsprechenden bevorzugten Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, so dass auch diesbezüglich auf die entsprechenden vorstehenden Erläuterungen verwiesen wird.The advantages of the arrangement according to the invention essentially correspond to those of the method according to the invention, so that in this regard reference is made to the corresponding explanations above. The same applies with regard to the preferred developments of the arrangement according to the invention mentioned below with regard to the respective corresponding preferred developments of the method according to the invention, so that reference is also made in this regard to the corresponding explanations given above.

Vorzugsweise kann die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung derart weitergebildet sein, dass die Detektionseinrichtung zum Erfassen eines von zumindest einem Fahrzeugschwingkreis, insbesondere zumindest einem Indusi-Fahrzeugschwingkreis, der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung abgestrahlten Signals ausgebildet ist.Preferably, the arrangement according to the invention can be further developed such that the detection device is designed to detect a signal emitted by at least one vehicle resonant circuit, in particular at least one Indusi vehicle resonant circuit, the vehicle-side train influencing device.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Anordnung weist die Detektionseinrichtung zumindest eine Spule auf.According to a particularly preferred development of the arrangement, the detection device has at least one coil.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung derart ausgestaltet, dass die Steuereinrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie das Informations-Signal dem jeweiligen spurgebundenen Fahrzeug zuordnet und hierauf basierend solche spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge, die eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen, von solchen weiteren spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen unterscheidet, die keine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung aufweisen.According to a particularly preferred development, the arrangement according to the invention is configured such that the control device is designed such that it assigns the information signal to the respective track-bound vehicle and based on such track-bound vehicles, which have a vehicle-side train control device of such other track-bound vehicles differs that have no on-board train control device.

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

Figur
zur Erläuterung eines Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens in einer schematischen Skizze ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung.
In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. This shows the
figure
for explaining an embodiment of the method according to the invention in a schematic sketch of an embodiment of the inventive arrangement.

Die Figur zeigt ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug 10 in Form eines Schienenfahrzeugs. Das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 weist eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 auf, bei der es sich im Rahmen des beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels um einen Fahrzeugschwingkreis beziehungsweise einen Fahrzeugmagneten des Zugbeeinflussungssystems Indusi handeln soll.The figure shows a track-bound vehicle 10 in the form of a rail vehicle. The track-bound vehicle 10 has a Vehicle-side train-influencing device 20, which in the context of the exemplary embodiment described should be a vehicle resonant circuit or a vehicle magnet of the train control system Indusi.

Während seiner Fahrt entlang des Gleises beziehungsweise der Strecke 100 strahlt die fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 dauerhaft ein Signal beziehungsweise mehrere Signale S ab. Im Rahmen des Zugbeeinflussungssystems Indusi handelt es sich hierbei um ein Signal mit den Frequenzen 500 Hz, 1000 Hz und 2000 Hz.During its journey along the track or the route 100, the vehicle-side train-influencing device 20 radiates permanently a signal or a plurality of signals S from. As part of the train control system Indusi this is a signal with the frequencies 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz.

Das von der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 abgestrahlte Signal S wird von einer streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 mittels einer Detektionseinrichtung 41, die beispielsweise zumindest eine Spule zum Erfassen einer oder mehrerer der von dem fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 abgestrahlten Frequenzen aufweisen kann, erfasst und hierdurch somit das Vorhandensein der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 detektiert. Dies bedeutet, dass anhand des Signals S von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 erkannt wird, dass das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 aufweist.The signal S radiated from the vehicle-side train influencing device 20 is detected by a trackside device 40 by means of a detection device 41, which may comprise, for example, at least one coil for detecting one or more of the radiated from the vehicle-side train control device 20 frequencies, and thus thus the Presence of the on-board train control device 20 detected. This means that the track-side device 40 recognizes that the track-bound vehicle 10 has a vehicle-side train-influencing device 20 on the basis of the signal S.

Auf das Detektieren der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 hin wird von einer kommunikationstechnisch mit der Detektionseinrichtung 41 verbundenen Übertragungseinrichtung 42 der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 ein eine Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 angebendes beziehungsweise anzeigendes Informations-Signal IS über eine Kommunikationsverbindung 50 an eine Steuereinrichtung 60 übertragen. Dabei kann es sich bei der Kommunikationsverbindung 50 sowohl um eine drahtlose als auch um eine drahtgebundene Verbindung handeln. Um unerwünschte Beeinflussungen zwischen unterschiedlichen Baugruppen zu vermeiden, kann die Übertragung des Informations-Signals IS im Falle einer drahtgebundenen Übertragung hierbei beispielsweise mittels eines potenzialfreien Kontakts eines Relais erfolgen. Dabei kann der entsprechende Kontakt des Relais über die Außenverkabelung zu der Steuereinrichtung 60, bei der es sich im Rahmen des beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels um eine zentrale Steuereinrichtung in Form eines Stellwerks handeln soll, geführt werden. Im Falle einer Steuereinrichtung 60 in Form eines Relaisstellwerks kann hierbei zur weiteren Verarbeitung des Informations-Signals IS eine Einbindung in das Relaisstellwerk erfolgen während im Falle eines elektronischen Stellwerks ein Einlesen des Informations-Signals IS in die Stellwerkslogik beispielsweise über eine digitale I/O-Baugruppe erfolgen kann. Alternativ zur Verwendung eines potenzialfreien Kontakts eines Relais kann die Übertragung des Informations-Signals IS von der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 an die Steuereinrichtung 60 beispielsweise auch mittels eines Optokopplers erfolgen.Upon detecting the vehicle-side train-influencing device 20, an information signal IS indicating or indicating a detection of the vehicle-side train-influencing device 20 is transmitted to a control device 60 via a communication link 50 by a transmission device 42 connected to the detection device 41 , In this case, the communication connection 50 may be both a wireless and a wired connection. To unwanted influences To avoid between different modules, the transmission of the information signal IS in the case of a wired transmission in this case, for example, by means of a potential-free contact of a relay. In this case, the corresponding contact of the relay via the external wiring to the control device 60, which should be in the context of the described embodiment is a central control device in the form of a signal box, are performed. In the case of a control device 60 in the form of a relay interlocking this can be done for further processing of the information signal IS integration into the relay interlocking while in the case of an electronic interlocking reading the information signal IS in the interlocking logic, for example via a digital I / O module can be done. As an alternative to the use of a potential-free contact of a relay, the transmission of the information signal IS from the trackside device 40 to the control device 60 can also take place, for example, by means of an opto-coupler.

In der Folge kann das empfangene Informations-Signal IS von der Steuereinrichtung 60 im Rahmen der Sicherung des Fahrwegs des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs 10 berücksichtigt werden. Dies betrifft insbesondere eine Verwendung des Informations-Signals IS bei einer Bestimmung eines Gefahrpunktabstandes und/oder eines Durchrutschweges für das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10. Die entsprechenden "Reserve-Gleislängen", die umgangssprachlich auch einheitlich als Durchrutschweg bezeichnet werden, werden üblicherweise in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen zulässigen Geschwindigkeit eines spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bestimmt beziehungsweise stellwerksseitig eingestellt. Da in der Regel für spurgebundene Fahrzeuge ab einer bestimmten zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeit das Vorhandensein einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung vorgeschrieben ist, erlaubt das Detektieren dieser fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung eine entsprechende Einstellung des Gefahrpunktabstandes beziehungsweise des Durchrutschweges für das jeweilige spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10. So ist es bei einer entsprechenden sicherungstechnischen Auslegung der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 möglich, für den Fall, dass für ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug 10 keine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 detektiert wird, einen kürzeren Durchrutschweg einzustellen als für den Fall, dass eine solche fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 anhand des abgestrahlten Signals erkannt worden ist.As a result, the received information signal IS can be taken into account by the control device 60 as part of securing the travel path of the tracked vehicle 10. This relates in particular to a use of the information signal IS in a determination of a danger point distance and / or a slip path for the track-bound vehicle 10. The corresponding "reserve track lengths", which are colloquially also referred to uniformly as a slip path, are usually dependent on the respective permissible speed of a track-bound vehicle determines set or on the side of the circuit. As a rule, for track-bound vehicles above a certain permissible maximum speed, the presence of an on-board train control device is required Detecting this on-board train control device allows a corresponding adjustment of the danger point distance or the slip path for the respective tracked vehicle 10. Thus, it is possible with a corresponding fuse-technical design of the trackside device 40, in the case that for a track-bound vehicle 10 no Vehicle-mounted train control device 20 is detected to set a shorter slip path than in the event that such an on-board train control device 20 has been detected on the basis of the radiated signal.

Insbesondere im Falle des Mischverkehrs von Fahrzeugen beziehungsweise Zügen mit und ohne fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtungen 20 besteht hierbei somit vorteilhafterweise die Möglichkeit, standardmäßig von kurzen Gefahrpunktabständen beziehungsweise Durchrutschwegen für die auf der betreffenden Strecke verkehrenden spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge 10 auszugehen. Lediglich für den Fall, dass der Steuereinrichtung 60 anhand des empfangenen Informations-Signals IS die Information vorliegt, dass das betreffende spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 über eine fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 verfügt und somit für höhere Geschwindigkeiten zugelassen ist, kann bei der Bestimmung des Gefahrpunktabstands beziehungsweise des Durchrutschweges dieser mit einer entsprechend größeren Länge angesetzt werden.In particular, in the case of mixed traffic of vehicles or trains with and without on-board train control devices 20, it is thus advantageously possible to start by default from short danger point distances or slip-roads for the rail-bound vehicles 10 running on the relevant route. Only in the event that the control device 60 on the basis of the received information signal IS is the information that the relevant track-bound vehicle 10 has a vehicle-side train control device 20 and thus is approved for higher speeds, can in the determination of the danger point distance or Sliding this way be set with a correspondingly longer length.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass auch ein Ausfall der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 sicherungstechnisch unkritisch ist, da fahrzeugseitige Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtungen 20 üblicherweise ohnehin gemäß Sicherheitsanforderungsstufe SIL 4 ausgeführt sind und das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 damit im Falle eines Defekts der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 zur sicheren Seite hin reagiert und dementsprechend mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit fährt. Durch eine Ausbildung der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40, der Kommunikationsverbindung 50 sowie der Steuereinrichtung 60 gemäß dieser Sicherheitsanforderungsstufe kann somit eine Gefährdung durch die Einstellung einer Fahrstraße mit einem zu kurzen Durchrutschweg auch in Störungsfällen zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden.It should be noted that even a failure of the vehicle-side train control device 20 is technically uncritical security, since vehicle-side train control devices 20 are usually executed anyway according to safety requirement level SIL 4 and the track-bound vehicle 10 so that in case of failure of the vehicle side Train control device 20 responds to the safe side and accordingly runs at reduced speed. By forming the track-side device 40, the communication link 50 and the control device 60 according to this safety requirement level can thus be reliably excluded by setting a driveway with a too short slip path even in cases of failure.

Durch das automatische Erkennen solcher spurgebundener Fahrzeuge 10, die mit einer fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 ausgestattet sind, wird somit beispielsweise im Mischbetrieb zwischen Güterverkehr und Nahverkehr eine Erhöhung der Zugfolge sowie insgesamt eine Optimierung der Verkehrsströme ermöglicht. Vorteilhafterweise geschieht dies, ohne dass hierfür auf ein nicht sicheres Verfahren der Leittechnik, d.h. beispielsweise eine Zuglauf- und Zugnummernverfolgung, zurückgegriffen wird. Stattdessen erfolgt vorteilhafterweise durch die streckenseitige Vorrichtung 40, d.h. durch eine Komponente der Außenanlage, eine aktive Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20, wobei es sich bei der streckenseitigen Vorrichtung 40 entweder um eine beispielsweise im Rahmen des jeweiligen Zugbeeinflussungssystems verwendete, ohnehin vorhandene oder auch um eine sonstige, gegebenenfalls ausschließlich zur Detektion der fahrzeugseitigen Zugbeeinflussungs-Einrichtung 20 vorgesehene Komponente handeln kann.Due to the automatic recognition of such track-bound vehicles 10, which are equipped with a vehicle-side train control device 20, an increase in the train sequence and overall optimization of the traffic flows is thus possible, for example, in the mixed mode between freight traffic and local traffic. Advantageously, this is done without relying on a non-secure process of the control technology, i. For example, a train running and train number tracking is used. Instead, the trackside device 40, i. by a component of the outdoor installation, an active detection of the vehicle-side train-influencing device 20, wherein the track-side device 40 either an example used in the context of the respective Zugbeeinflussungssystems, already existing or any other, possibly exclusively for the detection of the vehicle-side train control Device 20 may be provided component.

Entsprechend den vorstehenden Ausführungen im Zusammenhang mit dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ergeben sich durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sowie die erfindungsgemäße streckenseitige Vorrichtung in der betrieblichen Praxis somit erhebliche Vorteile, wobei die Sicherheit des Betriebs hierbei nicht beeinträchtigt beziehungsweise sogar erhöht wird.According to the above statements in connection with the described embodiment, the method according to the invention and the trackside device according to the invention thus result in considerable advantages in operational practice, the safety of the operation not being impaired or even increased in this case.

Des Weiteren ist eine vergleichsweise kostengünstige Realisierung möglich, da insbesondere fahrzeugseitig keinerlei Änderungen - weder hardwaretechnisch noch softwaretechnisch - erforderlich sind.Furthermore, a comparatively cost-effective implementation is possible because in particular no changes on the vehicle side - neither hardware technology nor software technology - are required.
