Description

Das (ETCS) European Train Control System stellt eine Komponente eines einheitlichen europäischen Eisenbahnverkehrsleitsystems dar, das auf längere Frist die Vielzahl der in den europäischen Ländern eingesetzten Zugsicherungssysteme ablösen soll. Dabei ist dieses System im Hinblick auf die vorhandenen nationalen Sicherungssysteme so ausgestaltet, dass es mit den derzeitigen nationalen Sicherungssystemen kompatibel ist. Dies wurde z.B. in dem folgenden Artikel beschrieben: MATHIEU THIBAULT ET AL: "L'equipement de securite bistandard ETRMS/KVB developpe pour le material roulant SNCF",REVUE GENERALE DES CHEMINS DE FER, CENTRALE DES REVUES DUNOD-GAUTHIER-VILLARS. PARIS, FR, Nr.231, 1. Oktober 2013, Seiten 40-45, XP001526257,ISSN: 0035-3183 .The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a component of a single European rail traffic management system, which will replace the large number of train protection systems deployed in European countries in the longer term. In terms of existing national security systems, this system is designed to be compatible with current national security systems. This has been described eg in the following article: MATHIEU THIBAULT ET AL: "L'equipement de securite bistre ETRMS / KVB developpe pour le roulant material SNCF", REVIEW GENERAL OF THE CHEMIN DE FER, CENTRAL OF THE REVUES DUNOD-GAUTHIER-VILLARS. PARIS, FR, No.231, October 1, 2013, pages 40-45, XP001526257, ISSN: 0035-3183 ,

Für das ETCS wurden nicht nur verschiedene Level 0 bis 3 sowie verschiedene NTC (National Train Control) festgelegt, um den Ansprüchen verschiedener Strecken, Nutzungsprofile und Eisenbahnverwaltungen gerecht zu werden, sondern es wurden für die verschiedenen Level auch eine Reihe von Modi definiert. Unter den verschiedenen Modi betrifft ein Modus einen sog. Sleeping Modus (SL), der der Situation gerecht wird, in der ein Schienenfahrzeug mit ETCS an ein anderes Schienenfahrzeug angekoppelt ist, das die Führung übernimmt. Das andere Schienenfahrzeug (Führungsfahrzeug) muss dabei nicht zwangsläufig auch über ETCS verfügen. Das geführte Fahrzeug ist in diesem Modus nicht mit einem Triebfahrzeugführer besetzt.Not only have different levels 0 to 3 and different National Train Control (NTC) been set for the ETCS to meet the needs of different routes, user profiles and railway administrations, but a number of modes have been defined for the different levels. Among the various modes, one mode involves a so-called Sleeping Mode (SL), which addresses the situation where a rail vehicle with ETCS is coupled to another rail vehicle that takes the lead. The other rail vehicle (leading vehicle) does not necessarily have to have ETCS. The guided vehicle is not manned by a driver in this mode.

Ein weiterer Modus des ETCS ist der so genannten No Power Modus (NP) und ist für den Fall vorgesehen, dass ein Schienenfahrzeug mit ausgeschaltetem ETCS betrieben wird.Another mode of the ETCS is the so-called no-power mode (NP) and is provided in the event that a rail vehicle is operated with switched off ETCS.

Schließlich gibt es beim ETCS unter anderem noch einen Non Leading Modus (NL), bei dem das Fahrzeug mit dem ETCS zwar mit einem Triebfahrzeugführer besetzt ist, sich jedoch nicht an der Spitze eines Zuges befindet und daher den Zug nicht führt.Finally, the ETCS also has a non-leading mode (NL), where the vehicle with the ETCS is indeed occupied by a driver, but not at the top of a train and therefore does not lead the train.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einer ETCS (European Train Control System)- Bordeinheit vorzuschlagen, mit der ein derart ausgestattetes Schienenfahrzeug in einem neuen (ergänzenden) Modus (eigener NTC Level) des ETCS betreibbar ist.The object of the invention is to propose a rail vehicle with an ETCS (European Train Control System) on-board unit with which a rail vehicle equipped in this way can be operated in a new (supplementary) mode (own NTC level) of the ETCS.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung von einem Schienenfahrzeug mit einer ETCS (European Train Control System)-Bordeinheit aus, die mit einer Schnittstelle für Steuerungsdaten von Streckeneinrichtungen nationaler Sicherungssysteme versehen ist, und sieht erfindungsgemäß vor, dass der ETCS-Bordeinheit eine Zusatzeinrichtung zugeordnet ist, die eingangsseitig mit einer Antenne und ausgangsseitig über eine eigene Schnittstelle für Steuerungsdaten von Streckeneinrichtungen nationaler Zugsicherungssysteme mit der Schnittstelle für Steuerungsdaten von Streckeneinrichtungen nationaler Zugsicherungssysteme der ETCS-Bordeinheit verbunden ist, wobei die eine Zusatzeinrichtung geeignet ist, auf eine virtuelle Ankopplung des Schienenfahrzeugs an ein weiteres Schienenfahrzeug signalisierende, über die Antenne empfangene Information sich wie ein nationales Zugsicherungssystem unter Übernahme von Steuerungsdaten der ETCS-Bordeinheit zu verhalten; der ETCS-Bordeinheit ist eine weitere Zusatzeinrichtung mit einer weiteren Antenne nachgeordnet, wobei die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung geeignet ist, ein Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung eines Schienenfahrzeugs über ihre Sendeantenne auszusenden.To achieve this object, the invention is based on a rail vehicle with a ETCS (European Train Control System) -Bord unit, which is provided with an interface for control data of track facilities national security systems, and provides according to the invention that the ETCS on-board unit is associated with an additional device connected on the input side with an antenna and on the output side via a separate interface for control data of track facilities of national train protection systems with the interface for control data of track facilities national train protection systems of the ETCS on-board unit, which is an additional device, to a virtual coupling of the rail vehicle to another Rail vehicle signaling information received via the antenna to behave like a national train protection system taking over control data of the ETCS on-board unit; the ETCS on-board unit is arranged downstream of a further additional device with a further antenna, wherein the further additional device is adapted to emit a signal for the virtual coupling of a rail vehicle via its transmitting antenna.

Es ist zwar bereits beim ETCS im Level 3 vorgesehen, von einer Streckenzentrale die Abstände der Züge fließend zu kontrollieren, wobei auch ein Fahren im relativen Bremswegabstand eingeschlossen ist, jedoch setzt das Fahren in einem solchen Abstand das Vorhandensein der Streckenzentrale voraus, wie der Literaturstelle "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Train_Control_System" auf Seite 7, vorletzter Absatz zu entnehmen ist.While it is already provided in the ETCS at level 3 to smoothly control the distances of the trains from a line center, including driving in the relative braking distance, driving at such a distance requires the presence of the line center, as in the reference "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Train_Control_System" on page 7, penultimate paragraph is shown.

Ferner ist es aus dem Buch von Jörn Pachl "Systemtechnik des Schienenverkehrs", 6. Auflage, 2011, Seiten 81 bis 83 insbesondere Seite 82, vorletzter Absatz bekannt, zur Regelung der Zugfolge ein Fahren im virtuellen Block vorzusehen. Hierbei werden im Streckenrechner der Zentrale virtuelle Blockabschnitte vorgegebener Länge definiert, und Standortmeldungen der Züge in zugewiesene und besetzte Fahrwegabschnitte umgesetzt. Durch Variation der Länge der virtuellen Blockabschnitte lässt sich die Abstandshaltung flexibel an die Leistungsanforderung der Strecke anpassen. Auch hier ist der Einsatz eines Streckenrechners erforderlich.Furthermore, it is from the book of Jörn Pachl "System Technology of Rail Traffic", 6th edition, 2011, pages 81 to 83 in particular page 82, penultimate paragraph known to provide for controlling the train sequence driving in the virtual block. In this context, virtual block sections of predetermined length are defined in the route computer of the center, and location messages of the trains are converted into allocated and occupied sections of track. By varying the length of the virtual block sections, the spacing can be flexibly adapted to the power requirement of the route. Again, the use of a route computer is required.

Darüber hinaus ist es aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 198 22 803 A1 bekannt, ein Schienenfahrzeug so auszustatten, dass es den Abstand zu einem vorausfahrenden Schienenfahrzeug ermitteln kann. Dazu ist es erforderlich, dass die Schienenfahrzeuge, die in einem relativen Bremsabstand fahren sollen, zu identifizieren und zwar hinsichtlich ihrer Fahrzeugkennung, was mittels einer Zugsteuerzentrale erfolgt. Sind zwei sich hintereinander bewegende Schienenfahrzeuge festgestellt, dann wird zwischen ihnen eine Funkverbindung aufgebaut, über die das vorausfahrende Schienenfahrzeug dem nachfolgenden Schienenfahrzeug neben seinem jeweiligen Ort zusätzlich auch seine Geschwindigkeit und seine Bremseigenschaften mitteilt. Das nachfolgende Schienenfahrzeug berechnet daraufhin den relativen Bremswegabstand, wodurch sich die Streckenkapazität optimieren lässt.In addition, it is from the German patent application DE 198 22 803 A1 It is known to equip a rail vehicle so that it can determine the distance to a preceding rail vehicle. For this purpose, it is necessary that the rail vehicles to drive in a relative braking distance to identify and that in terms of their vehicle identification, which is done by means of a train control center. If two consecutively moving rail vehicles are detected, then a radio link is established between them, via which the preceding rail vehicle informs the following rail vehicle in addition to its respective location additionally its speed and braking properties. The subsequent rail vehicle then calculates the relative braking distance, which can optimize the line capacity.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeugs besteht darin, dass mit ihm ohne Einschaltung einer Streckenzentrale nur durch Zuordnung einer Zusatzeinrichtung zur ETCS-Bordeinheit des Schienenfahrzeugs und durch Vorsehen einer weiteren Zusatzeinrichtung zur Abgabe eines Signals zur virtuellen Ankopplung auf diesem Schienenfahrzeug die Voraussetzung geschaffen ist, mindestens zwei Schienenfahrzeuge im Verband fahren zu lassen. Das folgende Fahrzeug ist dann nur logisch mit dem führenden Fahrzeug verbunden. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die eine und die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung ohne Weiteres an die jeweilige ETCS-Borde angeschlossen werden können, weil sie an die ETCS-Bordeinheit angepasst sind.A significant advantage of the rail vehicle according to the invention is that with him without the involvement of a line center only by assigning an additional device to the ETCS on-board unit of the rail vehicle and by providing a further option for delivering a signal for virtual coupling on this rail vehicle, the requirement is at least two Rail vehicles in Let bandage drive. The following vehicle is then only logically connected to the leading vehicle. Another advantage is that the one and the additional accessory can be readily connected to the respective ETCS shelves because they are adapted to the ETCS on-board unit.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeugs ist die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung geeignet, mit dem Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen zu erzeugen und auszusenden. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass das Schienenfahrzeug auch dazu geeignet ist, einem nachfolgenden Schienenfahrzeug Steuerinformationen zugehen zu lassen, wie sie zu einem sicheren Verkehr in einem Schienenfahrzeug-Verband erforderlich sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the rail vehicle according to the invention, the further additional device is suitable for generating and transmitting railway vehicle control information with the signal for virtual coupling. This ensures that the rail vehicle is also suitable for providing control information to a following rail vehicle, as required for safe traffic in a rail vehicle association.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeugs ist die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung geeignet, als ergänzende Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen Abstandsinformationen in Bezug auf ein leitendes Schienenfahrzeug zu erzeugen und mit den Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen vom leitenden Schienenfahrzeug zu korrelieren. Durch die Abstandsinformationen ist zusätzlich gesichert, dass im Falle eines Schienenfahrzeug-Verbands auf keinen Fall ein kritischer Abstand zwischen den Schienenfahrzeugen unterschritten wird.In a further advantageous embodiment of the rail vehicle according to the invention, the further auxiliary device is suitable for generating, as supplementary rail vehicle control information, distance information relating to a conductive rail vehicle and correlating with the rail vehicle control information from the conductive rail vehicle. Due to the distance information, it is additionally ensured that in the case of a rail vehicle association, there is in no case a critical distance between the rail vehicles.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen Schienenfahrzeug-Verband mit mindestens zwei Schienenfahrzeugen in einer Ausgestaltung, wie sie oben beschrieben ist.The invention further relates to a rail vehicle association with at least two rail vehicles in one embodiment, as described above.

Um einen solchen Schienenfahrzeug-Verband auf einfache Weise zu betrieben bzw. zu steuern, ist erfindungsgemäß ein Schienenfahrzeug das leitende Schienenfahrzeug, indem seine weitere Zusatzeinrichtung das Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung und die Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen zu der einen Zusatzeinrichtung eines weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs sendet, und die eine Zusatzeinrichtung des weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs durch die ETCS-Bordeinheit des weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs aktivierbar ist.In order to operate or control such a rail vehicle association in a simple manner, according to the invention, a rail vehicle transmits the conductive rail vehicle by sending its further auxiliary device the signal for virtual coupling and the rail vehicle control information to the additional device of another guided rail vehicle, and an additional device of the other guided Rail vehicle is activated by the ETCS on-board unit of the other guided rail vehicle.

An sich ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE-OS 10 2001 075 218 zwar ein Verfahren zum Betreiben spurgebundener Fahrzeuge bekannt, bei dem zwischen einem ersten Fahrzeug und einem zweiten Fahrzeug den zukünftigen Fahrbetrieb zumindest eines der Fahrzeuge betreffende Fahrinformationen übermittelt werden und die beiden Fahrzeuge ihren Fahrbetrieb anhand der übermittelten Fahrinformationen aufeinander abstimmen, jedoch erfolgt hier die Abstimmung im Fahrbetrieb hinsichtlich einer Optimierung des Energieverbrauchs, indem die von dem ersten Fahrzeug beim Bremsen zurückgespeiste Bremsenergie zumindest teilweise von dem zweiten Fahrzeug genutzt wird.In itself is from the German patent application DE-OS 10 2001 075 218 Although a method for operating track-bound vehicles is known in which the future driving operation of at least one of the vehicles is transmitted driving information between a first vehicle and a second vehicle and the two vehicles coordinate their driving on the basis of the transmitted driving information, but here is the vote in driving in terms of optimizing energy consumption by at least partially utilizing the braking energy returned by the first vehicle during braking by the second vehicle.

Vorteilhaft ist der erfindungsgemäße Schienenfahrzeug-Verband vor allem insofern, als er ohne Einwirken einer Streckenzentrale allein durch mit den genannten Zusatzeinrichtungen ausgerüsteten Schienenfahrzeugen mit jeweils einer ETCS-Bordeinheit betreibbar ist.The rail vehicle assembly according to the invention is advantageous in particular insofar as it can be operated alone with one ETCS on-board unit alone, without the intervention of a line center, by means of rail vehicles equipped with said additional devices.

Als vorteilhaft wird es bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeug-Verband angesehen, wenn die eine Zusatzeinrichtung eine kombinierte ATO(Automatic Train Operation)/ATC (Automatic Train Control)-Einrichtung und die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung eine ATO(Automatic Train Operation)-Einrichtung ist. Derartige Einrichtungen sind beispielhaft in den Internet-Veröffentlichungen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic train operation und http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW ATP beschrieben.It is regarded as advantageous in the rail vehicle association according to the invention if the one additional device is a combined ATO (Automatic Train Operation) / ATC (Automatic Train Control) device and the additional accessory device is an ATO (Automatic Train Operation) device. Such devices are described by way of example in the Internet publications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic train operation and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW ATP .

Der Erfindung liegt ferner die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Schienenfahrzeug-Verbands vorzuschlagen, das sich mit vergleichsweise wenigen Zusatzausstattungen an Bord der mit ETCS-Bordeinheiten Schienenfahrzeuge verwirklichen lässt.A further object of the invention is to propose a method for controlling a rail vehicle association, which can be implemented with comparatively few additional equipment on board the ETCS on-board units of rail vehicles.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird bei dem Verfahren zum Steuern eines Schienenfahrzeug-Verband erfindungsgemäß ein Schienenfahrzeug als das leitende Schienenfahrzeug verwendet, indem von seiner weiteren Zusatzeinrichtung das Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung und die Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen zu der einen Zusatzeinrichtung eines weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs gesendet werden und die eine Zusatzeinrichtung des weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs durch die ETCS-Bordeinheit des weiteren geführten Schienenfahrzeugs aktiviert wird.To achieve this object, in the method for controlling a rail vehicle association according to the invention, a rail vehicle is used as the conductive rail vehicle by the signal for virtual coupling and the rail vehicle control information is sent to the one additional device of another guided rail vehicle from its further accessory device and the an additional device of the further guided rail vehicle is activated by the ETCS on-board unit of the further guided rail vehicle.

Anstelle des Betreibens in einem Sleeping Modus, No Power Modus oder No Leading Modus kann das weitere geführte Schienenfahrzeug in vorteilhafter Weise durch den neuen Modus (eigener NTC Level) gemäß der Erfindung betrieben werden. Dabei bietet das Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, ohne eine Streckenzentrale zwei oder mehr Schienenfahrzeuge im Verband lediglich durch mit Zusatzeinrichtungen ausgestatteten Schienenfahrzeugen zu betreiben. Darüber hinaus ist es durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, Schienenfahrzeuge miteinander virtuell zu koppeln und zu entkoppeln und damit die Streckenkapazitäten durch das Befahren mit Schienenfahrzeug-Verbänden optimal zu nutzen. Dabei kann das Entkoppeln auch während der Fahrt erfolgen. Vorteilhaft ist ferner, dass sich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren Schienenfahrzeuge mit ETCS-Bordeinheit koppeln lassen, die weder physikalisch noch elektrisch koppelbar sind.Instead of operating in a sleeping mode, no power mode or no leading mode, the further guided rail vehicle can advantageously be operated by the new mode (own NTC level) according to the invention. In this case, the method according to the invention offers the advantageous possibility of operating two or more rail vehicles in a bandage only by rail vehicles equipped with additional equipment without a line center. In addition, it is advantageously possible by the method according to the invention to virtually couple and decouple rail vehicles with each other and thus to optimally utilize the line capacities by driving on rail vehicle assemblies. The decoupling can also be done while driving. It is also advantageous that with the method according to the invention rail vehicles can be coupled with ETCS on-board unit, which can not be coupled either physically or electrically.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren kommt als die eine Zusatzeinrichtung eine kombinierter ATO (Automatic Train Operation)/ATC (Automatic Train Control)- Einrichtung und als die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung eine ATO (Automatic Train Operation)- Einrichtung in Frage.In the method according to the invention comes as the one additional device, a combined ATO (Automatic Train Operation) / ATC (Automatic Train Control) - device and as the further option an ATO (Automatic Train Operation) - device in question.

Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung ist in der Figur schematisch ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeug-Verband dargestellt.To further explain the invention, an embodiment of the rail vehicle association according to the invention is shown schematically in the figure.

Jedes Schienenfahrzeug 2 und 3 des Schienenfahrzeug-Verbands 1 ist mit einer ETCS-Bordeinheit 4 beziehungsweise 5 ausgerüstet. Beide ETCS-Bordeinheiten 4 beziehungsweise 5 sind mit einer Schnittstelle 6 beziehungsweise 7 für Steuerungsdaten von nicht dargestellten Streckeneinrichtungen nationaler Zugsicherungssysteme versehen. Außerdem ist jedes Schienenfahrzeug 2 beziehungsweise 3 mit einer Zusatzeinrichtung 8 beziehungsweise 9 versehen, die mit einer Antenne 10 beziehungsweise 11 ausgerüstet sind.Each rail vehicle 2 and 3 of the rail vehicle association 1 is equipped with an ETCS on-board unit 4 or 5 respectively. Both ETCS onboard units 4 and 5 are provided with an interface 6 and 7, respectively, for control data of line units (not shown) of national train protection systems. In addition, each rail vehicle 2 or 3 is provided with an additional device 8 or 9, which are equipped with an antenna 10 and 11, respectively.

Jede Zusatzeinrichtung 8 beziehungsweise 9 ist mit einer Schnittstelle 12 beziehungsweise 13 versehen, die für Steuerungsdaten von Streckeneinrichtungen nationaler Zugsicherungssysteme ausgelegt ist; es lassen sich also unmittelbar die Schnittstellen 6 und 12 sowie 7 bis 13 miteinander verbinden.Each additional device 8 or 9 is provided with an interface 12 or 13, which is designed for control data of line facilities of national train protection systems; It is therefore possible to directly connect the interfaces 6 and 12 and 7 to 13 with each other.

Jede der Zusatzeinrichtungen 8 beziehungsweise 9 ist so ausgestaltet, dass sie sich wie ein nationales Zugsicherungssystem unter Übernahme von Steuerungsdaten der jeweiligen ETCS-Bordeinheit 4 beziehungsweise 5 verhalten kann, wenn sie - hier im Beispiel die ETCS-Bordeinheit 9 - eine virtuelle Ankopplung des jeweiligen Schienenfahrzeugs - hier des geführten Schienenfahrzeugs 3 - an das leitende Schienenfahrzeug - im Beispiel das Schienenfahrzeug 2 - signalisierende Informationen über ihre Antenne 11 empfängt. Dazu ist eine bidirektionale Funkverbindung 14 vorgesehen, die nachfolgend in ihrem Aufbau beschrieben ist:

  • Jeder ETCS-Bordeinheit 4 beziehungsweise 5 ist eine weitere Zusatzeinrichtung 15 beziehungsweise 16 nachgeordnet, die jeweils mit einer Antenne 17 beziehungsweise 18 ausgerüstet sind. Jede der weiteren Zusatzeinrichtungen 15 beziehungsweise 16 ist so ausgestaltet, dass sie ein Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung eines Schienenfahrzeugs über ihre jeweilige Antenne 17 beziehungsweise 18 aussenden kann. Dabei werden vorteilhafterweise mit dem Signal zur virtuellen Ankopplung Schienenfahrzeug-Steuerungsinformationen ausgesendet, die von der jeweiligen weiteren Zusatzeinrichtung 15 beziehungsweise 16 erzeugt sind.
Each of the additional devices 8 and 9 is designed such that it can behave like a national train protection system taking over control data of the respective ETCS on-board unit 4 or 5, if they - here in the example the ETCS on-board unit 9 - a virtual coupling of the respective rail vehicle - Here, the guided rail vehicle 3 - to the conductive rail vehicle - in the example, the rail vehicle 2 - receiving information via its antenna 11 receives. For this purpose, a bi-directional radio link 14 is provided, which is described below in its structure:
  • Each ETCS on-board unit 4 or 5 is followed by a further additional device 15 or 16, which are each equipped with an antenna 17 and 18 respectively. Each of the further ancillary devices 15 and 16 is designed so that it sends a signal to the virtual Coupling a rail vehicle via their respective antenna 17 and 18 can send out. In this case, rail vehicle control information, which is generated by the respective further auxiliary device 15 or 16, is advantageously emitted with the signal for virtual coupling.

Eine weitere Funkverbindung zwischen der Antenne 18 und der Antenne 10 ist nicht dargestellt, weil sie nur dann aktiviert ist, wenn das Schienenfahrzeug 3 das leitende Schienenfahrzeug und das Schienenfahrzeug 2 das geführte Schienenfahrzeug 2 ist.Another radio link between the antenna 18 and the antenna 10 is not shown because it is activated only when the rail vehicle 3, the conductive rail vehicle and the rail vehicle 2 is the guided rail vehicle 2.

Bei dem dargestellten Schienenfahrzeug-Verband 1 mit dem Schienenfahrzeug 2 als dem leitenden Fahrzeug wird von diesem Schienenfahrzeug 2 mittels seiner weiteren Zusatzeinrichtung ein Signal S über die Funkverbindung 14 zu der Antenne 11 der einen Zusatzeinrichtung 9 des geführten Schienenfahrzeugs 3 übertragen. Auf dieses Signal S hin, verhält sich die eine Zusatzeinrichtung 9 des geführten Schienenfahrzeugs 3 wie ein nationales Zugsicherungssystem, wobei es Steuerungsdaten/Steuerungsaufgaben seiner ETCS-Bordeinheit 5 übernimmt. Die weitere Zusatzeinrichtung 18 bleibt abgeschaltet.In the illustrated rail vehicle association 1 with the rail vehicle 2 as the conductive vehicle is transmitted from this rail vehicle 2 by means of its further auxiliary device, a signal S via the radio link 14 to the antenna 11 of an additional device 9 of the guided rail vehicle 3. In response to this signal S, the one additional device 9 of the guided rail vehicle 3 behaves like a national train protection system, taking over control data / control tasks of its ETCS on-board unit 5. The additional accessory 18 remains switched off.

Soll in einem Betriebsfall in des dargestellten Schienenfahrzeug-Verbands 1 das Schienenfahrzeug 3 das leitende Fahrzeug und das Schienenfahrzeug 2 das geführte Fahrzeug sein, dann wird von der weiteren Zusatzeinrichtung 16 des Schienenfahrzeugs 3 über eine nicht gezeigte Funkverbindung entsprechend der Zugverbindung 14 eine Information zur virtuellen Ankopplung an die eine Zusatzeinrichtung 8 des jetzt geführten Schienenfahrzeugs 2 übertragen, woraufhin dann das Schienenfahrzeug 2 so gesteuert wird, wie es oben im Zusammenhang in Bezug auf das Schienenfahrzeug 3 erläutert worden ist.If, in an operating case in the rail vehicle association 1 shown, the rail vehicle 3 is the guiding vehicle and the rail vehicle 2 is the guided vehicle, then information about the virtual coupling is provided by the further auxiliary device 16 of the rail vehicle 3 via a radio connection (not shown) corresponding to the train connection 14 to which an auxiliary device 8 of the now guided rail vehicle 2 is transmitted, whereupon the rail vehicle 2 is then controlled, as has been explained above in connection with respect to the rail vehicle 3.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren lassen sich drei Modi abdecken. In einem ersten Modus bewegen sich die Schienenfahrzeuge 2 und 3 des Schienenfahrzeug-Verbands 1 eng aneinander gekoppelt als ein virtuell und logisch gekoppelter Zugverband, dem jeweils eine Fahrerlaubnis zugeteilt wird. Aus der Sicht des ETCS stellt sich dies so dar, als wäre das geführte Fahrzeug - im obigen Beispiel das Schienenfahrzeug 3 - im Sleeping oder Non Leading Modus und die beiden Schienenfahrzeuge 2 und 3 wären physikalisch gekoppelt. Die beiden Schienenfahrzeuge 2 und 3 starten und stoppen gemeinsam und das Koppeln und entkoppeln kann nur im Stillstand erfolgen.With the method according to the invention, three modes can be covered. In a first mode, the rail vehicles 2 and 3 of the rail vehicle body 1 move close to each other coupled as a virtually and logically coupled train band, each assigned a driving license. From the point of view of the ETCS this is as if the guided vehicle - in the above example the rail vehicle 3 - was in Sleeping or Non Leading mode and the two rail vehicles 2 and 3 would be physically coupled. The two rail vehicles 2 and 3 start and stop together and the coupling and decoupling can only take place at a standstill.

Zusätzlich zu dem ersten Modus kann der Schienenfahrzeug-Verband 1 in einem weiteren Modus betrieben werden, bei dem das Abkoppeln des geführten Schienenfahrzeugs - im Beispiel das Schienenfahrzeug 3 - von dem leitenden Schienenfahrzeug 2 während der Fahrt erfolgen kann, wenn das geführte Schienenfahrzeug 3 beispielsweise an einem Bahnhof halten soll. Das Einleiten dieses Vorgangs kann entweder durch den Schienenfahrzeugführer oder durch eine ATO-Information erfolgen. Das bisher geführte Schienenfahrzeug 3 stoppt schließlich in dem Bahnhof und verlässt den einen NTC Level, während das bisher leitende Schienenfahrzeug 2 weiter fährt. Das bisher geführte Schienenfahrzeug setzt anschließend seine Fahrt eigenständig durch einen Schienenfahrzeugführer gesteuert fort.In addition to the first mode, the rail vehicle assembly 1 may be operated in a further mode in which the guided rail vehicle - in the example the rail vehicle 3 - can be uncoupled from the conductive rail vehicle 2 while the vehicle is running, for example when the guided rail vehicle 3 to hold a station. The initiation of this process can be done either by the railway driver or by ATO information. The previously run rail vehicle 3 finally stops in the station and leaves the one NTC level, while the previously conductive rail vehicle 2 continues. The previously run rail vehicle then continues its journey independently controlled by a railway driver.

In einem dritten Modus kann ein Schienenfahrzeug zu einem geführten Schienenfahrzeug werden, indem es ohne Abstand an ein (dann leitendes) Schienenfahrzeug heran geführt wird. Dazu werden die Schienenfahrzeuge zunächst streckenseitig gesteuert gefahren, bis eine Information zu den Schienenfahrzeugen dergestalt übertragen wird, dass die Schienenfahrzeuge nunmehr logisch bzw. virtuell gekoppelt fahren können. Kann sich dabei das nachfolgende Schienenfahrzeug sicher an das zum leitenden Schienenfahrzeug werdende Schienenfahrzeug annähern, dann wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wirksam und das geführte Schienenfahrzeug wird mittels seiner Zusatzeinrichtung unter die Steuerung vom leitenden Schienenfahrzeug aus gestellt. Der so gebildete Schienenfahrzeug-Verband verhält sich wie ein zusammen hängender Zug mit engem Abstand zwischen den Schienenfahrzeugen.In a third mode, a rail vehicle may become a guided rail vehicle by being fed without clearance to a (then conductive) rail vehicle. For this purpose, the rail vehicles are initially driven trackside controlled until information about the rail vehicles is transferred in such a way that the rail vehicles can now drive logically or virtually coupled. If the following rail vehicle can safely approach the rail vehicle becoming the conductive rail vehicle, then the method according to the invention becomes effective and the guided rail vehicle is placed under the control of the conductive rail vehicle by means of its auxiliary device. The rail vehicle dressing thus formed behaves like a train together with a narrow distance between the rail vehicles.
