Verfahren zur Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements sowie be- triebsleittechnisches System Method for the auxiliary operation of a track element and operational control system
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements . The invention relates to a method for auxiliary operation of a track element.
Ein solches Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der veröffent- lichten europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 1 396 413 AI bekannt. Such a method is known, for example, from Published European Patent Application EP 1 396 413 A1.
Im Bereich der Bahnautomatisierung wird eine Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements, die auch als Kommandofreigäbe- beziehungsweise KF-Bedienung bezeichnet wird, insbesondere in sol- chen Fällen angewendet, in denen eine normale Bedienung vomIn the field of railway automation, an auxiliary operation of a guideway element, which is also referred to as a command-enabling or KF operation, is used, in particular in those cases in which a normal operation of the
Stellwerk aus Sicherheitsgründen abgewiesen werden würde. Ein typisches Szenario für den Einsatz einer Hilfsbedienung ist somit beispielsweise die Behebung von Störfällen. Da die Bedienung im Falle einer Hilfsbedienung an der signaltechnisch sicheren Stellwerkslogik vorbeigeht, liegt die Sicherheits- verantwortung in solchen Fällen in einem nicht unerheblichen Maße bei dem jeweiligen Bedienpersonal. Signal box would be rejected for security reasons. A typical scenario for the use of an auxiliary operation is thus, for example, the correction of incidents. Since the operator passes the signal-technically safe interlocking logic in the event of an auxiliary operation, the safety responsibility in such cases lies to a not inconsiderable extent with the respective operating personnel.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein eine besonders hohe betriebliche Sicherheit aufweisendes Verfahren zur Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements anzugeben. The present invention has for its object to provide a particularly high operational safety exhibiting method for auxiliary operation of a track element.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements, wobei durch ein be- triebsleittechnisches System auf zumindest ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug bezogene Fahrdaten von einer Steuereinrichtung eines Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen werden und die empfangenen Fahrdaten von dem betriebsleittechnischen System im Rahmen einer Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements berücksichtigt werden . According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method for auxiliary operation of a track element, wherein travel data relating to at least one track-bound vehicle are received by a control device of a train control system and the received driving data are received by the operational control system within the framework an auxiliary operation of the Fahrwegelements be taken into account.
Unter einem Fahrwegelement wird im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung ein im spurgebundenen Verkehr verwendetes Element verstanden, das üblicherweise in der Außenanlage angeordnet ist und zur Steuerung und/oder Überwachung des spurgebundenen Verkehrs unterschiedliche Zustände einnehmen beziehungsweise erfassen kann. Bei entsprechenden Fahrwegelementen kann es sich beispielsweise um Radsensoren, Achszähler, Weichen, Gleissperren oder auch Bahnübergangsanlagen handeln. Des Weiteren umfasst der Begriff des Fahrwegelements auch unter Zuhilfenahme von mehreren solchen Komponenten gebildete logische Einheiten, wie beispielsweise Gleisabschnitte oder Fahrstraßen . In the context of the present invention, a track element is understood to mean an element used in track-bound traffic, which is usually arranged in the outer area and can assume or record different states for controlling and / or monitoring the track-bound traffic. In the case of corresponding track elements, these may be, for example, wheel sensors, axle counters, switches, track barriers or also railroad crossing systems. Furthermore, the concept of the track element also includes logical units formed with the aid of several such components, such as track sections or driveways.
Gemäß dem ersten Schritt des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden durch ein betriebsleittechnisches System auf zumindest ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug bezogene Fahrdaten von einer Steuereinrichtung eines Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen.According to the first step of the method according to the invention, driving data relating to at least one track-bound vehicle are received by a control device of a train control system by an operational control system.
Dies kann sowohl im unmittelbaren zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit einer Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements, d.h. beispielsweise nach Auslösung beziehungsweise Start einer Hilfsbedienung durch eine Bedienperson, als auch zeitlich entkoppelt von der eigentlichen Hilfsbedienung, d.h. beispielsweise in regelmäßigen zeitlichen Abständen, erfolgen. Die derart empfangenen Fahrdaten werden entsprechend dem zweiten Schritt des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens von dem betriebsleittechni- schen System im Rahmen einer Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegele- ments berücksichtigt. Dies bedeutet, dass vor oder während des Durchführens der Hilfsbedienung, d.h. vor einer vollständigen Ausführung der Hilfsbedienung, eine Berücksichtigung der von der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangenen Fahrdaten erfolgt. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bietet den Vorteil, dass mit den auf zumindest ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug bezogenen Fahrdaten dem betriebsleittechnischen System über übliche Systemgrenzen hinweg zusätzliche Informationen zur Verfügung ge- stellt werden, die eine zuverlässigere und damit die betriebliche Sicherheit erhöhende Entscheidung darüber ermöglichen, ob eine angeforderte Hilfsbedienung in der jeweiligen Situation ausgeführt werden darf beziehungsweise sollte oder nicht. So kann dem jeweiligen Fahrdienstleiter - oder auch anderem Bedienpersonal des betriebsleittechnischen Systems - eine genauere Übersicht über die aktuelle Gefährdungslage während einer Hilfsbedienung gegeben werden. Neben einer Erhöhung der Sicherheit ist hiermit auch eine Entlastung der verantwortlichen Bedienperson verbunden. This can be done both in the immediate temporal context with an auxiliary operation of a guideway element, ie for example after triggering or start of an auxiliary operation by an operator, as well as temporally decoupled from the actual auxiliary operation, ie for example at regular time intervals. In accordance with the second step of the method according to the invention, the driving data thus received are taken into account by the operational control system as part of an auxiliary operation of the route element. This means that before or during the execution of the auxiliary operation, ie before a complete execution of the auxiliary operation, consideration is given to the travel data received from the control device of the train control system. The method according to the invention has the advantage that with the driving data relating to at least one tracked vehicle, additional information is made available to the operational control system beyond normal system limits, which makes a more reliable and thus operational safety-enhancing decision possible as to whether a requested auxiliary operation is required may or may not be executed in the respective situation. Thus, the respective dispatcher - or other operating personnel of the operational control system - a more accurate overview of the current vulnerability during an auxiliary operation can be given. In addition to an increase in safety, this also relieves the burden on the responsible operator.
Die empfangenen Fahrdaten können von dem betriebsleittechnischen System im Rahmen der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise berücksichtigt werden. Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden die empfangenen Fahrdaten von dem betriebsleittechnischen System im Rahmen der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements in der Form berücksichtigt, dass die Fahrdaten mittels zumindest einer Anzeigevorrichtung des be- triebsleittechnischen Systems visualisiert werden. Durch eine entsprechende Visualisierung ist es dem Bedienpersonal vorteilhafterweise möglich, zuverlässiger abzuschätzen, ob eine Hilfsbedienung eines bestimmten Fahrwegelements in der jeweiligen Situation möglich beziehungsweise zulässig ist oder nicht. So kann beispielsweise im Falle einer Hilfsbedienung einer Weiche mittels der Fahrdaten auf einer Anzeigevorrichtung des betriebsleittechnischen Systems angezeigt werden, ob ein Zug die betreffende Weise aktuell befährt oder sich zumindest in gefährlicher Nähe zu dieser Weiche aufhält. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu der zuvor genannten bevorzugten Weiterbildung kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren vorteilhafterweise auch derart ausgestaltet sein, dass die empfangenen Fahrdaten von dem betriebsleittechnischen System im Rah- men der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements in der Form berücksichtigt werden, dass das betriebsleittechnische System anhand der Fahrdaten eine Überprüfung in Bezug auf sich aus der Hilfsbedienung ergebende potenzielle Gefährdungssituationen vornimmt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da somit anhand der Fahr- daten durch das betriebsleittechnische System selbst eineThe received driving data can be taken into account by the operational control system in the context of the auxiliary operation of the track element in different ways. According to a particularly preferred development of the method according to the invention, the received driving data are taken into account by the operational control system as part of the auxiliary operation of the track element in the form that the driving data are visualized by means of at least one display device of the operational control system. By means of a corresponding visualization, it is advantageously possible for the operating personnel to more reliably estimate whether or not an auxiliary operation of a particular track element in the respective situation is possible or permissible. Thus, for example, in the case of an auxiliary operation of a switch by means of the driving data displayed on a display device of the operational control system, whether a train currently drives the relevant way or is at least in dangerous proximity to this switch. As an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned preferred development, the method according to the invention can advantageously also be designed such that the received driving data are taken into account by the operational control system as part of the auxiliary operation of the track element in such a form that the operational control system checks the driving data in relation to potential hazardous situations resulting from the auxiliary operation. This is advantageous because, on the basis of the driving data, this is the result of the operational control system itself
Überprüfung beziehungsweise Bewertung dahingehend erfolgt, ob sich aus einer ausgelösten beziehungsweise angeforderten Hilfsbedienung potenzielle Gefährdungssituationen ergeben können. Hierdurch wird das Bedien- beziehungsweise Betriebs - personal des betriebsleittechnischen Systems somit vorteilhafterweise in Bezug auf eine Auswertung der von Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangenen und gegebenenfalls auf der Anzeigevorrichtung des betriebsleittechnischen Systems visualisierten Fahrdaten entlastet. Checking or evaluating to that effect, whether from a triggered or requested auxiliary service potential hazardous situations may arise. As a result, the operating or operating personnel of the operational control system is thus advantageously relieved of an evaluation of the travel data received from the control device of the train control system and possibly visualized on the display device of the operational control system.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird von dem betriebsleittechnischen System im Falle des Feststellens einer sich aus der Hilfsbedienung ergebenden potenziellen Gefährdungssitua- tion ein Warnsignal ausgegeben. Dabei kann das Ausgeben desAccording to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, a warning signal is output by the operational control system in the event of the detection of a potential hazardous situation resulting from the auxiliary control. The outputting of the
Warnsignals einerseits beispielsweise durch eine entsprechende Visualisierung, etwa in Form einer blinkenden Anzeige und/oder durch das Einblenden von Warnzeichen, sowie andererseits alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu beispielsweise auch durch ein akustisches Warnsignal erfolgen. Warning signal on the one hand, for example, by a corresponding visualization, such as in the form of a flashing display and / or by the display of warning signs, and on the other hand, alternatively or additionally thereto, for example, also by an audible warning signal.
Vorzugsweise kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch derart weitergebildet sein, dass durch das betriebsleittechnische System auf den Ort, die Geschwindigkeit und/oder eine Fahrer- laubnis des zumindest einen spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bezogene Fahrdaten von der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen werden.

Depending on the type of the respective train control system, the location and speed of lane-bound vehicles can be reported by them, for example in corresponding position reports, which are also referred to as "position reports", to a stationary, central control device of the train control system Train control system, usually via information on driver licenses granted to the tracked vehicles monitored and secured by the train control system, in particular information known as the Movement Authority, to which place or point of departure the respective tracked
Fahrzeug basierend auf einer vorliegenden Fahrerlaubnis bewegen darf. Durch eine Übermittlung entsprechender Fahrdaten an das betriebsleittechnische System wird es diesem und/oder seinem Bedienpersonal ermöglicht, mögliche Risiken im Falle einer Hilfsbedienung zu erkennen beziehungsweise anhand der Fahrdaten gerade festzustellen, dass eine solche Hilfsbedienung risikofrei möglich ist. So kann durch eine Einbeziehung einer Fahrerlaubnis signalisiert beziehungsweise deutlich werden, dass für das Fahrweg- beziehungsweise Streckenele- ment, das bedient werden soll, eine Fahrerlaubnis eines Zuges vorliegt und eine solche Bedienung daher extrem risikoreich wäre. Umgekehrt ist es jedoch auch denkbar, dass anhand der Fahrerlaubnis deutlich wird, dass sich zwar ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug in einem Streckenabschnitt aufhält, die Fahrer- laubnis dieses Fahrzeug jedoch vor dem Fahrwegelement endet, das mittels der Hilfsbedienung betätigt werden soll. Vehicle may move based on a present driving license. By transmitting corresponding driving data to the operational control system, this and / or its operating personnel are enabled to recognize possible risks in the case of an auxiliary operation or to determine using the driving data that such auxiliary operation is possible without risk. Thus, by including a driving license, it can be signaled or clear that a driving license of a train is present for the route or route element which is to be operated, and such an operation would therefore be extremely risky. Conversely, however, it is also conceivable that the driving license makes it clear that, although a track-bound vehicle is present in a section of the route, the driver's However, this vehicle vehicle leaves before the Fahrwegelement that is to be actuated by means of the auxiliary operation.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden durch das betriebs- leittechnische System auf das zumindest eine spurgebundene Fahrzeug bezogene signaltechnische sichere Fahrdaten von der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen. Als signaltechnisch sicher werden dabei solche Daten bezeichnet, die den besonders hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen des Bahnbetriebs nach den für die jeweilige Zulassungsbehörde maßgebenden Vorschriften genügen. Dies bedeutet, dass bei signaltechnisch sicheren Daten vorteilhafterweise eine unerkannte Verfälschung mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit ausgeschlossen werden kann. Üblicherweise handelt es sich bei den von einer Steuereinrichtung eines Zugbeeinflussungssystems zur Steuerung und Sicherung der spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge verwendeten Fahrdaten um solche signaltechnisch sicheren Daten. Dies hat zur Folge, dass solche signaltechnisch sicheren Fahrdaten auch seitens des betriebsleittechnischen Systems im Rahmen einer signaltechnisch sicheren Hilfsbedienung verwendet werden können, wodurch sich somit die Sicherheit der Hilfsbedienung weiter erhöht. Im Rahmen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann es sich bei der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems grundsätzlich um eine Steuereinrichtung beliebiger Art handeln. Dies schließt ein, dass es sich bei der Steuereinrichtung um eine fahrzeugseitige Steuereinrichtung handeln kann, d.h. eine zu- sammen mit dem Fahrzeug mobile Steuereinrichtung, die in Form eines Fahrzeuggerätes auf dem jeweiligen spurgebundenen Fahrzeug angeordnet ist. In diesem Fall werden die Fahrdaten somit unmittelbar oder mittelbar - beispielsweise funkbasiert - direkt von dem jeweiligen spurgebundenen Fahrzeug an das be- triebsleittechnische System übermittelt. According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the traffic control system receives signal-based safe driving data relating to the at least one lane-bound vehicle from the control device of the train control system. In terms of signaling safety, such data are referred to which satisfy the particularly stringent safety requirements of railway operations according to the regulations applicable to the respective approval authority. This means that in the case of signal-technically secure data, it is advantageously possible to rule out an unrecognized adulteration with almost certainty. Usually, the driving data used by a control device of a train control system for controlling and securing the track-bound vehicles is such fail-safe data. This has the consequence that such fail-safe driving data can also be used on the part of the operational control system in the context of a fail-safe auxiliary operation, thereby further increasing the security of the auxiliary operation. In the context of the method according to the invention, the control device of the train control system can basically be a control device of any type. This includes that the control device can be a vehicle-side control device, ie a control device which is mobile together with the vehicle and which is arranged in the form of a vehicle device on the respective track-bound vehicle. In this case, the driving data are thus directly or indirectly - for example, radio-based - transmitted directly from the respective tracked vehicle to the operational control system.
Vorzugsweise kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch derart ausgestaltet sein, dass die auf das zumindest eine spurgebundene Fahrzeug bezogenen Fahrdaten durch das betriebsleittech- nische System von einer stationären Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen werden. Üblicherweise weisen Zugbeeinflussungssysteme stationäre, vorzugsweise in ei- ner Zentrale angeordnete Steuereinrichtungen auf, welche mit den überwachten und gesicherten spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen in Kommunikation stehen und in Bezug auf die Sicherung und Beeinflussung der spurgebundenen Fahrzeuge die Sicherheitsverantwortung tragen. Entsprechenden stationären Steuereinrich- tungen des Zugbeeinflussungssystems liegen somit in der Regel die Fahrdaten einer Mehrzahl von spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen vor, die an das betriebsleittechnische System weitergeleitet beziehungsweise übermittelt werden können. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass auf zusätzliche KommunikationsVerbindungen zwi- sehen den spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen und dem betriebsleittech- nischen System verzichtet werden kann, wodurch sich der Aufwand für eine Einführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens vorteilhafterweise reduziert. Die Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren ein betriebsleittechnisches System. Preferably, the inventive method may also be configured such that the driving data related to the at least one track-bound vehicle are received by the operational control system from a stationary control device of the train control system. Usually, train control systems have stationary control devices, preferably arranged in a central control station, which communicate with the monitored and secured track-bound vehicles and bear the safety responsibility with regard to securing and influencing the tracked vehicles. Corresponding stationary control devices of the train control system are therefore usually the driving data of a plurality of track-bound vehicles, which can be forwarded to the operational control system or transmitted. This offers the advantage that it is possible to dispense with additional communication links between the track-bound vehicles and the operational control system, as a result of which the outlay for introducing the method according to the invention is advantageously reduced. The invention further relates to an operational control system.
Ein betriebsleittechnisches System ist beispielsweise aus der Firmenveröffentlichung „Effizienter Schienenverkehr mit der Leitsystemfamilie VICOS OC - Wirtschaftliche Betriebsführung", Siemens AG 2008, Bestell-Nr. A19100-V100-B874-V1 bekannt . Hinsichtlich des betriebsleittechnischen Systems liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein betriebs- leittechnisches System anzugeben, das ein eine besonders hohe betriebliche Sicherheit aufweisendes Verfahren zur Hilfsbe- dienung eines Fahrwegelements unterstützt. An operational control system is known, for example, from the company publication "Efficient Rail Traffic with the Control System Family VICOS OC - Economic Management", Siemens AG 2008, Order No. A19100-V100-B874-V1. With regard to the operational control system, the object of the present invention is to provide a process control system which supports a method for auxiliary operation of a guideway element which has a particularly high operational safety.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein betriebs- leittechnisches System, das ausgebildet ist, von einer Steuereinrichtung eines Zugbeeinflussungssystems auf zumindest ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug bezogene Fahrdaten zu empfangen und die empfangenen Fahrdaten im Rahmen einer Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements zu berücksichtigen. This object is achieved according to the invention by an operational control system which is designed to receive travel data related to at least one track-bound vehicle from a control device of a train control system and to take into account the received driving data as part of an auxiliary operation of a track element.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das er- findungsgemäße betriebsleittechnische System ausgebildet, die empfangenen Fahrdaten im Rahmen der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements in der Form zu berücksichtigen, dass es die Fahrdaten mittels zumindest einer Anzeigevorrichtung des betriebsleittechnischen Systems visualisiert .

Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu kann das erfindungsgemäße betriebsleittechnische System auch derart weitergebildet sein, dass das betriebsleittechnische System ausgebildet ist, die empfangenen Fahrdaten im Rahmen der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements in der Form zu berücksichtigen, dass es anhand der Fahrdaten eine Überprüfung in Bezug auf sich aus der Hilfsbedienung des Fahrwegelements ergebende potenzielle Gefährdungssituationen vornimmt. Alternatively or additionally, the operational control system according to the invention can also be developed in such a way that the operational control system is designed to receive the received driving data in the context of the auxiliary control of the Track element in the form to take into account that it makes a check on the basis of the driving data with respect to potentially hazardous situations resulting from the auxiliary operation of the Fahrwegelements.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das erfindungsgemäße betriebsleittechnische System ausgebildet, im Falle des Feststellens einer sich aus der Hilfsbedienung ergebenden potenziellen Gefährdungssituation ein Warnsignal auszugeben. According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the operational control system according to the invention is designed to output a warning signal in the event of the detection of a potential hazard situation resulting from the auxiliary control.
Vorzugsweise kann das erfindungsgemäße betriebsleittechnische System auch ausgebildet sein, von der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems auf den Ort, die Geschwindigkeit und/oder eine Fahrerlaubnis des zumindest einen spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs bezogene Fahrdaten zu empfangen. Preferably, the operational control system according to the invention can also be designed to receive travel data related to the location, the speed and / or a driving permission of the at least one tracked vehicle from the control device of the train control system.
Die Erfindung umfasst des Weiteren eine Anordnung mit einem erfindungsgemäßen betriebsleittechnischen System beziehungs- weise einem betriebsleittechnischen System gemäß einer der zuvor genannten bevorzugten Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen betriebsleittechnischen Systems sowie mit der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems. Vorzugsweise ist die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung derart ausgestaltet, dass durch das betriebsleittechnische System auf das zumindest eine spurgebundene Fahrzeug bezogene signal- technisch sichere Fahrdaten von der Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems empfangen werden. The invention further comprises an arrangement with an inventive operational control system or an operational control system according to one of the aforementioned preferred developments of the operational control system according to the invention and with the control device of the train control system. Preferably, the arrangement according to the invention is configured such that signal-technically safe driving data related to the at least one track-bound vehicle is received by the control device of the train control system by the operational control system.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist die Steuereinrichtung eine stationäre Steuereinrichtung des Zugbeeinflussungssystems. Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbei - spielen näher erläutert. Hierzu zeigt die According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention, the control device is a stationary control device of the train control system. The invention will be explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments. This shows the
Figur zur Erläuterung eines Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens in einer schematischen Skizze eine Anordnung mit einem Aus- führungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen be- triebsleittechnischen Systems. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei der Darstellung der Figur um eine stark vereinfachte schematische Darstellung handelt, in welcher lediglich die zur Erläuterung der Ausführungsbeispiele des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sowie des erfindungsgemäßen betriebsleittechnischen Systems erforderli- chen Komponenten berücksichtigt sind. FIG. 1 shows a schematic sketch of an embodiment of the method according to the invention, showing an arrangement with an exemplary embodiment of the operational control system according to the invention. It should be pointed out that the representation of the FIGURE is a highly simplified schematic representation, in which only the components necessary to explain the exemplary embodiments of the method according to the invention and of the operational control system according to the invention are taken into account.
In der Figur ist ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug 10 in Form eines Schienenfahrzeugs erkennbar, das sich entlang einer Strecke beziehungsweise eines Gleises 20 bewegt. Das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 weist eine fahrzeugseitige Übertragungseinrichtung 30 auf, mittels derer es dem spurgebundenen Fahrzeug 10 möglich ist, mit einer streckenseitigen Übertragungseinrichtung 40 funkbasiert zu kommunizieren. Die streckenseitige Übertragungseinrichtung 40 ist über eine Kommunikationsver- bindung 50 an eine stationäre Steuereinrichtung 60 eines Zugbeeinflussungssystems angebunden. Hierdurch ist es der Steuereinrichtung 60 des Zugbeeinflussungssystems möglich, von dem spurgebundenen Fahrzeug 10 Daten, etwa in Form von Informationen zur Position und Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs 10, zu empfangen sowie Steuerbefehle an das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 zu übertragen. Bei entsprechenden Steuerbefehlen kann es sich beispielsweise um eine auch als „Movement Authority" bezeichnete Fahrerlaubnis handeln. Diese legt fest, bis zu welchem Ort beziehungsweise Streckenpunkt sich das spurgebun- dene Fahrzeug 10 basierend auf der vorliegenden Freigabe durch die Steuereinrichtung 60 bewegen darf. In the figure, a track-bound vehicle 10 in the form of a rail vehicle can be seen, which moves along a track or a track 20. The track-bound vehicle 10 has a vehicle-side transmission device 30, by means of which it is possible for the track-bound vehicle 10 to communicate radio-based with a track-side transmission device 40. The track-side transmission device 40 is connected via a communication link 50 to a stationary control device 60 of a train control system. This makes it possible for the control device 60 of the train control system to receive data from the track-bound vehicle 10, for example in the form of information on the position and speed of the vehicle 10, and to transmit control commands to the track-bound vehicle 10. Corresponding control commands may, for example, be a driving license, also referred to as a "movement authority", which determines up to which point or route point the tracked track The vehicle 10 may move based on the present release by the controller 60.
Neben den bereits genannten Komponenten ist in der Figur ein Stellwerk 70 angedeutet. Das Stellwerk 70 ist über Kommunikationsverbindungen 80 und 90 kommunikationstechnisch an Fahrwegelemente 100 beziehungsweise 110 in Form von zweikanali- gen, zur Fahrtrichtungserkennung ausgebildeten Radsensoren beziehungsweise Achszählern angebunden. Dabei ermöglichen es die KommunikationsVerbindungen 80 und 90 einerseits, dass von den Fahrwegelementen 100, 110 Informationen, etwa in Form von Achszählpulsen, an das Stellwerk 70 übermittelt und von diesem beispielsweise zur Detektion des Belegungszustands des durch die Fahrwegelemente 100, 110 gebildeten Streckenab- Schnitts verwendet werden können. Darüber hinaus kann es andererseits dem Stellwerk 70 über die Kommunikationsverbindungen 80, 90 auch möglich sein, Steuerbefehle an die Fahrwegelemente 100 beziehungsweise 110 zu übermitteln. Über eine weitere Kommunikationsverbindung 120 ist das Stellwerk 70 des Weiteren an ein betriebsleittechnisches System 130 angebunden. Das betriebsleittechnische System 130 dient der Bedienung und Beobachtung des Stellwerks 70 sowie der an diesem angebundenen Elemente der Außenanlage, d.h. der Fahr- wegelemente 100, 110. Hierzu weist das betriebsleittechnische System 130 - neben weiteren in der Figur nicht dargestellten Komponenten - eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung 140 sowie eine Anzeigevorrichtung 150 auf. Im Regelbetrieb des in der Figur dargestellten Systems werden Bedienhandlungen von einer Bedienperson mittels des betriebs - leittechnischen Systems 130 vorgenommen und nach Übertragung entsprechender Befehle beziehungsweise Daten über die Kommunikationsverbindung 120 durch das Stellwerk 70 ausgeführt. Dabei liegt die Sicherheitsverantwortung bei der signaltechnisch sicheren Stellwerkslogik, so dass Gefährdungen durch mögliche Fehlbedienungen üblicherweise ausgeschlossen werden können . In addition to the components already mentioned, an interlocking 70 is indicated in the figure. The interlocking 70 is connected via communication links 80 and 90 communication technology to guideway elements 100 and 110 in the form of two-channel, trained for direction detection wheel sensors or axle counters. On the one hand, the communication links 80 and 90 make it possible to transmit information, for example in the form of axle counting pulses, from the track elements 100, 110 to the interlocking 70 and use it, for example, to detect the occupancy state of the track section formed by the track elements 100, 110 can be. In addition, on the other hand, the interlocking 70 via the communication links 80, 90 may also be possible to transmit control commands to the guideway elements 100 and 110, respectively. Via a further communication link 120, the interlocking 70 is further connected to an operational control system 130. The operational control system 130 is used to operate and observe the interlocking 70 and the elements of the outdoor installation connected to it, ie the travel path elements 100, 110. For this purpose, the operational control system 130 comprises, in addition to other components not shown in the figure, a processing device 140 a display device 150. In the normal operation of the system shown in the figure, operator actions are performed by an operator by means of the operational control system 130 and executed by the interlocking 70 after transmission of appropriate commands or data via the communication link 120. In this case, the safety responsibility lies with the signaling technology-safe interlocking logic, so that hazards can be usually excluded by possible operating errors.
In der Praxis kann nun jedoch die Situation auftreten, dass in besonderen betrieblichen Situationen oder bei Störungen von dem Bedienpersonal des betriebsleittechnischen Systems 130 so genannte Hilfsbedienungen, die aufgrund ihres üblichen Bedienungsablaufs auch als Kommandofreigäbe- beziehungsweise KF-Bedienung bezeichnet werden, auszuführen sind. Hierbei liegt die sicherheitstechnische Verantwortung zu einem wesentlichen Teil bei dem Bedienpersonal des betriebsleittechnischen Systems 130, da bei entsprechenden Hilfsbedienungen die sichere Stellwerkslogik nicht involviert ist. Ursache hierfür ist, dass Hilfsbedienungen gerade in solchen Fällen angewendet werden, in denen eine normale Bedienung vom Stellwerk aus Sicherheitsgründen abgewiesen werden würde. Im Rahmen des beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels könnte dies bei- spielsweise den Fall betreffen, dass von einem Fahrdienstleiter mittels des betriebsleittechnischen Systems 130 das Fahrwegelement 110 in Form des Achszählers - oder ein an die Fahrwegelemente 100, 110 angebundenes weiteres Fahrwegelement in Form eines Achszählrechners - zurück gesetzt werden soll. Alternativ hierzu könnte es sich bei der betreffenden Hilfsbedienung beispielsweise auch um eine Fahrstraßenhilfsauflö- sung, eine Ersatzsignalstellung oder das Stellen einer gestörten Weiche handeln. In all den zuvor genannten Situationen ist es denkbar, dass das Ausführen der betreffenden Hilfsbedienung unmittelbar oder mittelbar zu einer GefährdungsSituation führt. Um nun den Fahrdienstleiter in dieser für ihn überaus schwierigen und beanspruchenden Situation zu entlasten sowie zusätzliche Informationen zur Entscheidung darüber, ob eine angedachte beziehungsweise ausgelöste Hilfsbedienung tatsächlich umgesetzt werden soll, bereitzustellen, ist das betriebsleittechnische System 130 über eine Kommunikationsverbindung 160 an die Steuereinrichtung 60 des Zugbeeinflussungssystems angebunden. Hierdurch wird es dem betriebsleittechnischen System 130 vorteilhafterweise ermöglicht, von der Steuereinrichtung 60 des Zugbeeinflussungssystems auf das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 bezogene Fahrdaten zu empfangen. Im Rahmen des be- schriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels sei hierbei angenommen, dass die betreffenden Fahrdaten Angaben zum Ort, zur Geschwindigkeit sowie zu einer Fahrerlaubnis, d.h. einer Movement Autho- rity, des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs 10 umfassen. Vorteilhafterweise handelt es sich dabei bei diesen übermittelten Fahr- daten um signaltechnische sichere Informationen, die somit eine sehr hohe Zuverlässigkeit aufweisen. In practice, however, the situation may arise that in special operational situations or in case of malfunctions by the operating personnel of the operational control system 130 so-called auxiliary operations, which are also referred to as Kommandofreigäbe- or KF operation due to their usual operation procedure. In this case, the safety-related responsibility lies to a substantial extent with the operating personnel of the operational control system 130, since the corresponding interlocking logic does not involve the safe interlocking logic. The reason for this is that auxiliary controls are used in cases where normal operation by the signal box would be rejected for safety reasons. Within the scope of the exemplary embodiment described, this could, for example, relate to the case that the track element 110 in the form of the axle counter - or a further track element connected to the track elements 100, 110 in the form of an axle counting computer - is reset by a dispatcher by means of the operational control system 130 should. As an alternative to this, the relevant auxiliary operation could also be, for example, a driveway assistance resolution, a replacement signal position or the setting of a faulty point. In all the aforementioned situations, it is conceivable that the execution of the relevant auxiliary operation leads directly or indirectly to a hazardous situation. In order to relieve the dispatcher in this for him extremely difficult and demanding situation and additional To provide decision-making information as to whether an intended auxiliary service is actually to be implemented, the operational control system 130 is connected to the controller 60 of the train control system via a communications link 160. This advantageously allows the plant control system 130 to receive travel data related to the track bound vehicle 10 from the control system 60 of the train control system. In the context of the described exemplary embodiment, it is assumed here that the relevant driving data include information about the location, the speed and a driver's license, ie a movement authorization, of the track-bound vehicle 10. Advantageously, these transmitted driving data are signal-technical, secure information which thus has a very high level of reliability.
In der Folge werden nun die von der Steuereinrichtung 60 des Zugbeeinflussungssystems an das betriebsleittechnische System 130 übermittelten Fahrdaten von diesem im Rahmen der Hilfsbedienung eines Fahrwegelements, d.h. beispielsweise des Fahrwegelements 110, verwendet beziehungsweise berücksichtigt. Dies kann einerseits dadurch geschehen, dass die Fahrdaten auf der Anzeigevorrichtung 150 des betriebsleittechnischen Systems 130 angezeigt beziehungsweise visualisiert werden.As a result, the driving data transmitted from the control system 60 of the train control system to the operational control system 130 will now travel therefrom as part of the auxiliary operation of a track element, i. For example, the Fahrwegelements 110, used or considered. On the one hand, this can be done by displaying or visualizing the driving data on the display device 150 of the operational control system 130.
Hierzu kann beispielsweise in einer Übersichtsdarstellung der Gleistopologie die Position des spurgebundenen Fahrzeugs 10 und/oder die für das spurgebundene Fahrzeug gültige Fahrerlaubnis angezeigt werden. Sofern seitens des betriebsleit- technischen Systems 130 zusätzlich auch Informationen bezüglich mittels anderer Methoden der Gleisfreimeldung ermittelter Zugstandorte vorliegen, so ist auch eine vergleichende Darstellung der betreffenden Informationen möglich. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Anwendung die seitens des Zugbeeinflussungssystems bereitgestellten Orts- beziehungsweise Positionsinformationen eine höhere Genauigkeit aufweisen können, als dies bei üblichen Gleisfreimeldesystemen der Fall ist. Dies bedeutet, dass das spurgebundene Fahrzeug 10 beispielsweise innerhalb des durch die Fahrwegelemente 100, 110 in Form der Achszähler gebildeten Gleisabschnitts präzise lokalisiert werden kann. Dies kann im Falle einer Hilfsbedienung einer Weiche beispielsweise dazu genutzt werden, dem Bedienpersonal anzuzeigen, ob ein Zug aktuell die betreffende Weiche befährt oder sich in unmittelbarer gefährlicher Nähe zu dieser Weiche befindet. For this purpose, the position of the track-bound vehicle 10 and / or the driving license valid for the track-bound vehicle can be displayed, for example, in an overview representation of the track topology. If, on the part of the operational control system 130, information is additionally available regarding train locations determined using other methods of track vacancy reporting, a comparative presentation of the relevant information is also possible. It should be noted that depending on the respective Application the provided by the train control system location or position information may have a higher accuracy than is the case with conventional train detection systems. This means that the track-bound vehicle 10 can be precisely located, for example, within the track section formed by the track elements 100, 110 in the form of the axle counters. This can be used in the case of an auxiliary operation of a switch, for example, to indicate to the operator whether a train is currently driving the switch in question or is in the immediate dangerous proximity to this switch.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ zu einer Visualisierung der Fahrdaten auf der Anzeigevorrichtung 150 des betriebsleittechni- sehen Systems 130 kann das betriebsleittechnische System 130 auch selbst anhand der empfangenen Fahrdaten eine Überprüfung in Bezug auf sich aus der Hilfsbedienung ergebende potenzielle Gefährdungssituationen vornehmen. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass erkannte Gefährdungssituationen durch das betriebsleit - technische System 130 signalisiert werden können. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass für den Fall, dass eine aktuelle Fahrerlaubnis eines Zuges bis zu der Weiche reicht, die im Rahmen deiner Hilfsbedienung umgestellt werden soll, diese Gefahr dem Fahrdienstleiter beispielsweise durch eine blin- kende Anzeige der Reichweite der Movement Authority in einer Darstellung der Netzwerktopologie und/oder durch das Einblenden entsprechender Warnzeichen, etwa in Form in auffälliger Weise hervorgehobener Symbole oder eines blinkenden Bildschirmrands, signalisiert werden. Neben einer Darstellung in einer Netzwerkübersicht können entsprechende Warninformationen darüber hinaus auch in anderen Diagrammen, wie beispielsweise Zeit -Weg-Linien-Diagrammen, eingeblendet werden oder aber in Form akustischer Warnmeldungen ausgegeben werden. Eine Auswertung der Fahrdaten seitens des betriebsleittechni - sehen Systems 130 führt somit insgesamt zu einer Erhöhung der Sicherheit von Hilfsbedienungen. Darüber hinaus kann jedoch hierdurch auch deutlich werden, dass gewünschte Hilfsbedie- nungen trotz auf eine mögliche Gefährdung hinweisender Informationen gefahrlos möglich sind. Dies betrifft beispielsweise den Fall, dass ein Achszähler, d.h. beispielsweise das Fahrwegelement 110, zurückgestellt werden soll, der zu einer aktuell gestellten Fahrstraße gehört. In diesem Fall wird bei ausschließlich auf Stellwerksinformationen basierenden Systemen üblicherweise die gesamte Fahrstraße als belegt angezeigt, ohne dass die genaue Position des Zuges in der Fahrstraße und der Teil der Fahrstraße, für den der Zug eine Movement Authority besitzt, für den Fahrdienstleiter erkennbar sind. Eine Einbeziehung dieser Informationen, d.h. der Fahrdaten, die von der Steuereinrichtung 60 des Zugbeeinflussungssystems sicher verwaltet werden, vereinfacht dem Fahrdienstleiter bei der Durchführung der Hilfsbedienung die Entscheidung dahingehend, ob die gewünschte Hilfsbedienung in der jeweiligen Situation möglich ist oder nicht. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass ein Zug eine Fahrstraße belegt, aber die Fahrerlaubnis beziehungsweise Movement Authority des Zuges nicht bis zu dem zu bedienenden Fahrwegelement reicht, so dass eine Bedienung gefahrlos möglich ist. In addition or as an alternative to a visualization of the driving data on the display device 150 of the operational control system 130, the operational control system 130 can also carry out a check with respect to the potential hazard situations arising from the auxiliary operation based on the received driving data. This offers the advantage that detected hazardous situations can be signaled by the operational control system 130. So it is conceivable, for example, that in the event that a current driving license of a train to the switch, which is to be converted as part of your auxiliary service, this danger to the dispatcher, for example, by a flashing display of the range of the Movement Authority in one Representation of the network topology and / or by the display of appropriate warning signs, such as in the form of conspicuous highlighted symbols or a flashing screen edge signaled. In addition to a representation in a network overview, corresponding warning information can also be displayed in other diagrams, such as time-travel-line diagrams, or output in the form of audible warning messages. An evaluation of the driving data on the part of the operational control system 130 thus leads overall to an increase in the safety of auxiliary operations. In addition, however, it can also be made clear that desired auxiliary operations are possible without danger despite information pointing to a possible hazard. This applies, for example, to the case where an axle counter, ie for example the track element 110, is to be reset, which belongs to a currently set route. In this case, in the case of systems based solely on interlocking information, the entire route is usually indicated as occupied, without the exact position of the train in the route and the part of the route for which the train has a movement authority being recognizable to the dispatcher. Incorporation of this information, ie the driving data, which is securely managed by the control system 60 of the train control system, makes it easier for the dispatcher to make the decision as to whether or not the desired auxiliary operation is possible in the particular situation when carrying out the auxiliary operation. So it is conceivable, for example, that a train occupies a driveway, but the driving license or movement authority of the train does not extend to the driver element to be operated, so that an operation is possible without danger.
Zusammenfassend ist somit zu sagen, dass entsprechend den vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sowie das erfindungsgemäße betriebs- leittechnische System durch die Bereitstellung von auf zumin- dest ein spurgebundenes Fahrzeug bezogenen Fahrdaten, die aus einem Zugbeeinflussungssystem stammen, die Sicherheit bei Hilfsbedienungen erhöht und das betroffene Bedienpersonal entlastet wird. Vorteilhafterweise sind das Verfahren sowie das betriebsleittechnische System hierbei in Verbindung mit unterschiedlichen Zugbeeinflussungssystemen sowie unterschiedlichen Arten von spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen einsetzbar. So kann es sich bei dem Zugbeeinflussungssystem, von dessen Steuereinrichtung die Fahrdaten an das betriebsleittechnische System übermittelt werden, beispielsweise um das europäische Zugbeeinflussungssystem ETCS (European Train Control System) Level 2 handeln. Gleichermaßen ist es auch denkbar, dass es sich bei dem Zugbeeinflussungssystem um ein im Nahverkehrsbereich, etwa für U-Bahnen und Metros, eingesetztes Zugbeeinflussungssystem handelt. Dementsprechend kann es sich auch bei den durch das jeweilige Zugbeeinflussungssystem überwachten und gesteuerten spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen um ganz unterschiedliche Arten von Fahrzeugen handeln. Dies schließt einerseits schienengebundene Fahrzeuge, etwa in Form von Zügen, U-Bahnen oder Metros, sowie andererseits auch andere Arten von spurgebundenen Fahrzeugen, etwa in Form von spurgeführten Fahrzeugen mit Gummibereifung, ein. In summary, it can thus be said that, in accordance with the exemplary embodiments described above, the method according to the invention and the process control system according to the invention increase the safety of auxiliary controls by providing driving data relating to at least one track-bound vehicle originating from a train control system affected operating personnel is relieved. Advantageously, the method and the operational control system are in conjunction with this different Zugbeeinflussungssystemen and different types of track-bound vehicles used. For example, the train control system from whose control device the driving data are transmitted to the operational control system can be, for example, the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2. Likewise, it is also conceivable that the train control system is a train control system used in the area of local traffic, for example for subways and metros. Accordingly, the tracked vehicles monitored and controlled by the respective train control system may also be quite different types of vehicles.
