Definitions

  • the invention relates to an additional system for increasing safety at a railway crossing, in which a traffic route for road vehicles crosses a rail track for rail vehicles.
  • the invention also relates to a method for increasing the safety of such a level crossing and a computer program for carrying out the method.
  • the leader of a road vehicle approaching a railroad crossing on a traffic route is obliged to look to see if a train is approaching the railroad crossing and to check whether a whistle signal from a rail vehicle can be heard.
  • the responsibility lies with the road users in approx. 95% of all accidents. Only 5% of accidents are due to human or technical failure on the part of the railway. Much of the accident caused by road users is due to road users' ignorance of the importance of the St Andrews Cross and the safety technology and the required behaviors.
  • Level crossing warning systems are z. B. from the AT 503 852 B1 or the WO 2010/124933 A1 known.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the safety at level crossings, especially in non-technically secured level crossings, with little effort significantly.
  • a level crossing can be made safer without major costs.
  • the structural and other technical effort for attaching the first and the second lighting device and possibly a sensor for detecting an approaching road vehicle is comparatively low.
  • the improvements in security are significant.
  • the arrangement of the first and the second lighting device at a certain minimum distance from the traffic route as well as the switching on of their light sources in response to an external event, but not whether a rail vehicle is at the railroad crossing or approaching it, can guide road vehicles to be directed to the left and right to look at the railroad crossing, to check whether a rail-bound vehicle on the railway line approaches the railroad crossing.
  • the additional system according to the invention is therefore advantageous for non-technically secured level crossings. But it can also be used advantageously at other technically secured level crossings. At each type of railroad crossing safety is increased.
  • the system according to the invention can thus be an additional system that operates autonomously by the control and safety technology of the railway. This can be it remain cheap and remain promising for use.
  • the additional system makes use of automatic processes of visual human perception for its advantageous mode of action.
  • the first and the second lighting device By arranging the first and the second lighting device at a certain minimum distance from the traffic route their light appears in the peripheral field of view of a driver of a road vehicle, so that it looks almost automatically in the direction of the switched-light source.
  • the first and the second light source are arranged close to the rail track, i. at a distance of a few meters.
  • the light of the light sources is automatically triggered, namely as a function of at least one external event, e.g. depending on a road vehicle approaching the railroad crossing, but still at a certain distance from it.
  • the gaze of the driver of the road vehicle is automatically directed in the direction from which the light comes. If a rail vehicle approaches the railroad crossing, its probability of detection would be increased by the driver of the road vehicle using the system. The correct behavior at the railroad crossing by the road user is thus automatically triggered, even if the driver of the road vehicle, for example, has a poor knowledge of the importance of the railroad crossing signage.
  • the first lighting device and / or the second lighting device may in particular be designed as a stationary lighting device, which is arranged at a fixed position with respect to the rail route and the traffic route for road vehicles.
  • the first and the second lighting device are arranged at least 20 meters away from the center of the traffic route.
  • the first and / or the second lighting device are at least 40 meters away from the middle of the traffic route, or at least 60 meters.
  • the distance of the first and / or the second lighting device from the middle of the traffic route is determined depending on the maximum speed allowed on the traffic route for road vehicles. The higher the permissible maximum speed, the greater the distance from which the first and / or the second lighting device are arranged from the traffic route.
  • the additional system for emitting pulsating light is set up by the light sources of the first and / or second lighting device.
  • the pulsating light may e.g. be generated by the fact that the light sources of the first and / or the second lighting device by means of the control means are switched on and off pulsating, or in that the light sources themselves are formed as pulsating light sources, e.g. as LED flash light.
  • the additional system for emitting light in different and / or changing colors of the first and / or the second lighting device set up can be achieved.
  • the color of a light source can be changed in temporal change. If a plurality of light sources are present in a lighting device, they can also be formed with different colors or controlled in different colors by the control device.
  • an external event by virtue of which the first and / or the second lighting device is switched on for the purpose of emitting light, is the approach of a road vehicle traveling on the traffic route to the railroad crossing.
  • the additional system may have at least one sensor. It is advantageous here if the sensor for detecting a road vehicle is set up at a distance of at least 20 meters from the level crossing, or at least 40 meters, or at least 70 meters. In any case, the approach of a road vehicle on the traffic route is thereby clearly detected before the time when the road vehicle reaches the railroad crossing. Thus, a timely switching on the light sources of the auxiliary system is possible, so that the attention of the leader of the road vehicle is directed sufficiently early in the direction of the peripheral areas of the railroad crossing and a timely braking response in response to the maximum speed allowed.
  • the distance of the road vehicle from the railroad crossing, in which the first and / or the second light emitting device is switched on for the delivery of light depending on the permissible on the roadway for road vehicles maximum speed set.
  • the sensor can be realized according to different physical principles, e.g. in the form of an induction loop embedded in the lane of the traffic route, as a radar, camera or ultrasonic sensor, e.g. is located at the edge of the traffic route, or in the form of a geolocation sensor (e.g., GPS) of the road vehicle so that the geoposition of the road vehicle e.g. can be transmitted via a Car2X system, a mobile network or any other communication system to the control device of the additional system according to the invention.
  • the controller may also detect the approach of a road vehicle on the traffic route as an external event.
  • the auxiliary system itself does not have the sensor, but an interface for communication with a sensor of the road vehicle or with an associated evaluation device of the road vehicle.
  • the additional system is adapted to turn on the occurrence of an external event, the light sources of the second lighting device at a different time than the light sources of the first lighting device.
  • the gaze of the leader of the road vehicle can be directed first in one direction and then in the other direction.
  • the additional system is adapted to turn on the occurrence of an external event, the light sources of the second lighting device at a later time than the light sources of the first lighting device.
  • the light sources of the light direction in the direction of travel left of the traffic route are first turned on, and only then the light sources arranged in the direction of travel right of the traffic signal. In this way, the correct behavior of the driver of the road vehicle when approaching the railroad crossing can be further promoted.
  • the distance of the first lighting device from the center of the traffic route substantially corresponds to the distance of the second lighting device from the middle of the traffic route.
  • the first and the second lighting device are arranged with respect to their spacing symmetrical to the traffic route.
  • substantially an equilateral triangle is formed between the position at which the presence or approach of a road vehicle on the traffic route is detected via the sensor, and the position of the first and the second lighting device.
  • the method can advantageously be developed further with the above-described functions of the additional system, for example the emission of pulsating light by the light sources, the emission of light in different and / or changing colors from the light sources or the staggered switching between the light sources of the first and the second lighting device.
  • the object mentioned at the outset is also achieved by a computer program having program code means, in particular program code means, which are stored on a machine-readable carrier, set up to carry out the method of the previously described type, when the computer program is executed on a computer.
  • the computer is a computer of the control device of the additional system according to the invention, ie for example a microprocessor or microcontroller of an electronic control device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a arranged at a railway crossing additional system from a bird's eye view.
  • the traffic route 5 has a lane 51 with a prescribed direction of travel 52, and a lane 50 for the opposite direction of travel.
  • On the lane 51 is a road vehicle 6, which moves in the prescribed direction 52.
  • a rail track 7 is shown for rail vehicles.
  • the rail track 7 crosses the traffic route 5 at a railroad crossing 8.
  • the railroad crossing 8 is e.g. a non-technically secured railroad crossing on which, for example, a signage 9 is present for securing.
  • the additional system has a first lighting device 1, a second lighting device 2, an electronic control device 3 and a sensor 4.
  • the sensor 4 and the first and the second lighting device 1, 2 are connected via electrical lines to the control device 3, which are shown in the drawing as dotted connecting lines between the components 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • the first and the second lighting device 1, 2 are clearly spaced from the traffic route 5, that is arranged at least 20 meters away from the center 53 of the traffic route 5. At traffic routes with relatively high approved Maximum speeds, eg highways or highways, are even greater distances than 20 meters advantageous.
  • the first and the second lighting device 1, 2 are arranged in the vicinity of the rail track 7 in order to direct the gaze of the driver of the road vehicle 6 in the direction of the rail track 7.
  • the lighting devices may be located on both sides of the rails, ie from the approach direction of the road vehicle in front of or behind the track body.
  • the lighting devices 1, 2 have one or more controllable light sources 10, 20 which can be switched on and off by the control device 3 and / or can be actuated to emit pulsating light.
  • the light sources 10, 20 need respect.
  • the respective lighting device 1, 2 does not radiate the light in a 360 ° angle, but it is sufficient if a radiation 11 or 21 is provided, which is aligned in the direction of the traffic route 5 and the it allows the driver of the road vehicle 6 to perceive the emitted light well before reaching the level crossing 8, for example, after passing the sensor. 4
  • the sensor 4 has a detection beam 40, over which a road vehicle 6 passing the detection beam 40 can be detected, e.g. in the form of reflected ultrasonic waves or interrupted or reflected light, e.g. in the form of a light barrier or a retro-reflective sensor.
  • the control device 3 for example, first switches on the light sources 10 immediately after receiving the signal from the sensor 4, and the light sources 20 a little later.
  • the lighting devices can be switched off again after a definable number of pulsations or a definable time interval, for example.
  • the light of the light sources 10 and 20 may be controlled, for example, such that it pulsates ten times alternately in different colors, for example in the colors pure white and pink.
  • the driver of the road vehicle 6, shortly after passing the detection beam 40, is caused by the light signals to look first toward the first lighting device 1, and then toward the second lighting device 2.
