Definitions

  • the invention relates to systems and methods for managing the movement of a vehicle on a railway network.
  • vehicle means any guided vehicle capable of traveling on a railway network, such as for example a train, a tram or a metro.
  • a railway network is composed of different elementary resources, such as a section of track with two end points, a section of track with three end points (or switching), a signaling element, etc.
  • each resource is in a state of engagement taking a value among a set of possible values.
  • An interlock function is used to manage the safe movement of a vehicle on a route along the network.
  • a route is constituted by a plurality of resources, the state of engagement of each resource taking a predefined value.
  • the interlocking function was centralized. It was implemented at a central switching, or engagement, able to control and control the state of engagement of all the constituent resources of the network.
  • the engagement uses a route table. The latter presents, for each possible route, the values of the interlocking states of the resources constituting this route. These values must be simultaneously checked to allow the safe movement of the vehicle on the corresponding route. It is the engagement which, at any moment, selects a route for a given vehicle, modifies the state of engagement of the resources constituting this route, then, after checking the respect of the engagement values of the various resources, authorizes the movement of the vehicle.
  • the engagement thus manages the movement of all the vehicles circulating on the rail network at a given moment.

  • the engagement function is decentralized at each of the vehicles in circulation.
  • Each vehicle traveling on the network is equipped with an onboard controller that receives a mission from a planning center. Depending on this mission and the instantaneous position of the vehicle, the onboard controller determines a route to follow.
  • the Onboard controller reserves and snaps the required resource.
  • the on-board controller After checking the state of engagement of each resource of the road, the on-board controller authorizes the movement of the vehicle on the road. Once the road is crossed, the controller releases the various resources, in order to make them available for the circulation of other vehicles.
