  • the road contains at least one crossing to the danger zone and consecutively one exit from the danger zone.
  • the crossing for vehicles before the danger zone is closed or opened using a safeguarding mechanism. If the flow of vehicles to the exit from the danger zone is measured, these measurements can be used to evaluate the traffic jam to the exit from the place where the danger zone ends and, when the approach of the end of the traffic jam to the danger zone which would close the exit from the danger zone is critical, the operational safeguarding on the level crossing can be improved.
  • the solution represents an extension to the conventional level crossing safeguarding equipment; it does not concern the essence of the solution of the actual safeguarding of the level crossing.

  • CZ 282 966 published on 12.11.1997, with the owner being A D PRAHA s.r.o.
  • CZ describes programmable level crossing safeguarding equipment, which is meant for controlling the output peripherals, i.e. warning board signal lights, sound warnings, barrier drives and barrage signal lights.
  • This equipment cooperates with a block of input commands, with a block of outdoor elements, with a power supply block and, if necessary, with a block of indication elements.
  • the block of input commands and the power supply block are connected through the first and second input block to the control block, which is connected to the comparator block, which is connected through the block of switching circuits to the block of outdoor elements.
  • the control block is a secure programmable control unit.
  • the first input block is a secure peripheral device for the secure entry of the input commands to the data memory.
  • the second input block is a secure peripheral device for the secure entry of the input commands to the data memory, independent of the first input block.
  • the comparator block is a secure coincidence circuit of critical control block outputs for the control of the block of switching circuits.
  • the block of switching circuits is comprised of a type-N switching relay in the sense of the international codex UIC 736. The switching relay contacts are connected both in the circuits of the block of outdoor elements and as feedback to both of the input blocks.
  • the programmable level crossing safeguarding equipment according to CZ 282 966 can be programmed for various types and configurations of control track and controlled outdoor elements with varied connections according to the requirements and philosophy of the safeguarding equipment, not only from the perspective of Czech standard No. 34 2600, but also in the sense of various norms of other national railways. It enables the use of a single- or double-processor unit in place of the control block without the need for synchronisation.
  • the disadvantage of this situation is the location of the control block either on the site where the railroad and road intersect or on the site of the level crossing safeguarding equipment.
  • the equipment uses a single-processor unit or double-processor unit, which does not result in getting or achieving a high availability of functionality of the safeguarding equipment.

  • CZ 297 617, priority 28.12.2005 CZ, with the owner being A D Praha s.r.o. CZ, is an intelligent LED light with LED diodes for outdoor light signalisation in railway safeguarding technology. This light is divided into three independent LED sections, while the shine from only two LED sections is sufficient for fulfilling the relevant standards for the optical characteristics of this light.
  • the functionality of each LED diode is controlled in three independent ways. The control of the functionality of the control and supervisory electronics of each section of the LED light is performed as is a control of the functionality of the electrical power supply. The continual and simultaneously performed control of the LED diodes ensures the secure monitoring of this LED light. The detection of a defect in one section is transferred to the parent system, where it is indicated and evaluated.
  • CZ PV 2008 - 369, priority 16.6.2008 CZ, with the applicant being A D Praha s.r.o, CZ introduces the method for the control of mechanical warnings at light safeguarding equipment through the electromechanical barrier drive.
  • the barrier lowers in a set interval after issuing a vital command signal to lower.
  • the lowering is performed simultaneously by two different mutually independent principles, passive and forced. Passive lowering is ensured by the weight of the barrier and forced lowering is performed by an electric motor.
  • the barrier is affixed in the upper terminal position using two mutually independent brake circuits with regular and automatic testing of their function and evaluation of their functionality. Secure information about the real terminal positions of the barrier is obtained simultaneously from two independent barrier position sensors with a comparison of their function.
  • the drive elements of the barrier drive being the drive shaft, electric motor, coupling and gears, are grouped into separate branches, independent of the brake circuits with the brakes and the free wheels on the brake shaft.
  • the advantage of this invention is that it ensures the safe operation and functioning of the mechanical warnings at light level crossing safeguarding equipment. This resolves the lowering of the barrier in the prescribed time interval, which is in most cases within 12 seconds from the issuing of the command to lower, as is specified in Czech Standard SN 342650 (within 10 seconds) and in other national railway specifications, i.e. 412 UPUTSTVO - the Bulgarian railway standard (within 12 seconds). Thus it achieves the high reliability of motorised and simultaneously gravitational lowering, especially in the case when there is a motor failure; or on the contrary, when adverse wind conditions, or strong winds, act against the gravitational lowering.
  • the disadvantage of this solution is the absence of a control subsystem in the barrier drive, which does not enable the distribution of the barrier drive intelligence to the remote peripheral.
  • the aforementioned disadvantages are removed or considerably limited with the programmable railway level crossing safeguarding equipment, with a communication coupling to an external intelligent peripheral, in accordance to this invention.
  • the essence of this invention consists in the level crossing safeguarding equipment containing a backed-up programmable control block, which is connected through a backed-up transfer of data to remote intelligent peripherals, that are located near the railroad lines on the site specified for the safeguarding of level crossings, and which are partially or fully backed up.
  • the backed-up programmable control block, backed-up data transfer and remote intelligent peripherals are connected to the backed-up power supply through the backed-up power line.
  • the backed-up programmable control block there are 1, 2 to M remote intelligent peripherals in one site for the safeguarding the level crossing and 1, 2 to J sites designated for the safeguarding of one level crossing.
  • the value of the number M remote intelligent peripherals in one site for the safeguarding of one level crossing and the value of the number J of sites specified for the safeguarding of one level crossing depends on the performance capacity of the backed-up programmable control block and on the transfer capacity of the backed-up data transfer.
  • the main advantage of the submitted invention is the increase in reliability, safety and functional availability of the level crossing safeguarding equipment in the sense of Czech Standard No. CSN EN 50 126 while lowering expenses, with regard to conventional level crossing safeguarding equipment in that a very high number of remote intelligent peripherals can be connected to one control system of the level crossing safeguarding equipment and one backed-up programmable control block can control several level crossings within reach of the communication equipment.
  • the conception of the system design secures this system's greater resistance against external influences, atmospheric, traction, etc.
  • a great strength is also the very high availability of the basic elements of the equipment according to this invention, specifically the backed-up programmable control block, remote intelligent peripherals and backed-up data transfer.
  • the remote intelligent peripherals can be distributed to a considerable distance from the backed-up programmable control block, and also share a joint backed-up programmable control block for a group of several level crossings in the given area of coverage.
  • the remote intelligent peripherals can be partially or fully backed up.
  • part of the intelligence of the level crossing safeguarding equipment in the form of functional algorithms is centralised into the backed-up programmable control block, part of the intelligence of the level crossing safeguarding equipment, relating to the warning signal, to the barrier drive, to the detection elements for determining the location of a train and to the feedback to the engine driver is distributed to the remote intelligent peripherals, then the functional requirements placed on the level crossing safeguarding equipment can be fully fulfilled while removing or significantly limiting the disadvantages specified in the background of the invention.
  • this solution can be applied advantageously as a remote intelligent peripheral of the level crossing safeguarding equipment.
  • the remote intelligent peripherals are situated along the railroad lines at an essentially unlimited distance, e.g. at a length on the order of kilometres, or tens or even hundreds of kilometres, from the backed-up programmable control block.
  • the backed-up programmable control block is bi-directionally connected through an interface to the station and/or track safeguarding equipment.
  • the maximum distance between the backed-up programmable control block and the remote intelligent peripherals is given by the technological level of the technical means of the backed-up transfer of data and the dimensioning of the pair of independent power sources, including the dimensioning of the power lines for covering the power performance balance of the backed-up programmable control block and all the remote intelligent peripherals.
  • Sharing the common backed-up programmable control block for a group of multiple level crossings saves some of the control technologies of the level crossings, which brings considerable savings. It is equipment that enables the control of remote intelligent peripherals at large distances, with the transfer of information from the backed-up programmable control block to the station and/or track safeguarding equipment through a specific interface.
  • Two arrangements are specified for the realisation of the isolated island variant of the level crossing safeguarding equipment.
  • Either the backed-up programmable control block is situated on the site of the level crossing in geographically remote areas for the realisation of the isolated island variant of the level crossing safeguarding equipment with a level crossing protection signal device such as a barrage signal board.
  • the backed-up programmable control block is situated in the site of the level crossing and the remote control and check block is connected to it bi-directionally over an interface for the realisation of the isolated island variant of the level crossing safeguarding equipment with the transfer of remote commands and remote indications to the site of operations.
  • the island variant enables the control of intelligent peripheries in remote areas by distant level crossings.
  • the island variant of the level crossing safeguarding equipment brings savings in the cabling for connecting the performance elements for the backed-up programmable control block.

  • warning board blocks and/or barrier drive blocks and/or blocks of on and off switching elements of automatic control and/or blocks of a level crossing protection signal mutually integrated within one site for the safeguarding of a level crossing into at least one common remote intelligent peripheral and/or into the backed-up programmable control block.
  • This combination of various blocks of technical means in one level crossing site represents the optimisation both from the perspective of better prices and from the perspective of lowering performance losses.
  • the variability of the solution for the backed-up programmable control block presents an arrangement where conventional barrier drives and/or conventional warning boards and/or conventional track circuits and/or axle counters and/or point elements in the function of on and off switching elements of the automatic control of the level crossing and/or conventional level crossing protection signal devices such as barrage signals boards in the function of the indication of the state of the level crossing safeguarding equipment towards the engine driver are connected to the backed-up programmable control block.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to use conventional technical means since it is suitable if the user requires a connection to the aforementioned conventional technical means for the backed-up programmable control block.
  • the backed-up transfer of data can be realised using an optical communications line and/or metallic communication line and/or wirelessly, which enables the variability of the use of the available media for the transfer of data in the given locality.

  • the use of the power supply that is already present in the given location enables such an arrangement of technical means of the power supply, where at least one source of power of the backed-up power supply is remote and thus decentralised from the location of the technical means of the backed-up programmable control block.
  • non-conventional power source represents at least one back-up power source comprised of a solar and/or wind generator.
  • the conventional power supply method presents at least one backed-up power supply, which uses batteries as the back-up element.
  • the optimal placement of the backed-up programmable control block ensures the use of existing and available resources, where the backed-up programmable control block is located in the technological cabinet in the interlocking room or in the mainframe in the site of the level crossing or in the technological cabinet located in the shed or cell in the site of the level crossing.
  • An interface comprised of a data output communication and/or a contact signal interface and/or a power input/output signal interface is used for the transfer of the control and indication signals between the backed-up programmable control block and the station safeguarding equipment and/or between the backed-up programmable control block and the track safeguarding equipment and/or between the backed-up programmable control block and the remote control and check block.

  • the use of these available technical resources thanks to the variability of the placement in the site of the level crossing, leads to an improvement of the lines of sight and thus to a secondary increase in traffic safety at the level crossing.
  • This arrangement is also very important because it provides considerable savings when controlling multiple level crossings. It is not necessary, for example, to build a shed or mainframe separately for each level crossing. It is not necessary to establish a backed-up power supply separately for each level crossing. Meanwhile the investment expenses work out to be far lower than in the case of building its own system with many of these technical means, required for each level crossing.
