Description
- The present invention concerns railway vehicles that are equipped with one or more data buses for exchanging data between numerous components of the railway vehicle.
- The article " Informations- und Steuerungstechnik auf Schienenfahrzeugen - Bussysteme im Zug" by Barbara Schmitz, published in the journal "elektronik industrie ", 8/9 2008, InnoTrans Special: Bahnelektronik, describes various known bus system architectures for railway vehicles.
- These known bus systems are inter alia used to transmit status and diagnosis data from the railway vehicle's subcomponents, such as traction or braking units, to a central diagnosis system, which is located for example in the driver's cab. The driver of the railway vehicle can then visualise the diagnosis data in his cab via a corresponding display unit. For further details, reference is made to the book "Schienenfahrzeugtechnik" by J. Janicki et al., 2nd edition, Bahn Fachverlag, p. 375.
- Document
WO 2014/129107 A1 discloses an information processing device provided in a railway car comprising an unidirectional security gateway relying a control secure bus and an information Ethernet bus. - Lately, train operators have requested train manufacturers to develop a communication system for transmitting said diagnosis data from the railway vehicle to a remote back office. By transmitting the diagnosis data out of the railway vehicle to a back office, the train operator is aware of the railway vehicle's current condition in real time. Hence, the train operator can anticipate necessary repairs and already prepare in advance the maintenance workflow for the railway vehicle's next maintenance stop, thus saving time and increasing efficiency.
- However, by providing a communication system for transmitting diagnosis data from the railway vehicle to a remote back office, one creates a point of access for an outsider to the railway vehicle's safety relevant components, such as the traction motors or brakes. As a consequence, the railway vehicle becomes vulnerable to a potential attack from a hacker trying to take over the control of the railway vehicle. This is a serious security risk.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a railway vehicle with tamper proof capabilities for the remote transmission of diagnosis data.
- According to the present invention, this object is achieved with a railway vehicle according to claim 1.
- By having a unidirectional security gateway between the safety relevant data network and the information data network, it is impossible for a hacker to remotely send control signals to the railway vehicle's safety relevant components and thus to take over control of the railway vehicle. Thanks to the unidirectional security gateway, malicious control signals cannot cross from the information data network to the safety relevant data network.
- According to the invention the inventive railway vehicle comprises the following features:
- said unidirectional security gateway includes a Field-Programmable Gate Array or FPGA that is programmed to allow only unidirectional data communication from the safety relevant data network to the information data network;
- the unidirectional security gateway further includes a dedicated physical FPGA access port, which is the only way to reprogram the FPGA;
- a receiving device; and
- a diagnosis data requests relaying device interconnecting the receiving device and the safety relevant data network; said diagnosis data requests relaying device being adapted to relay a request for diagnosis data received by the receiving device from the back office to the processing and diagnosing device via the safety relevant data network;
- the diagnosis data requests relaying device is only able to send predefined and fixed messages, of which there only is a limited number of different ones, to the processing and diagnosing device via the safety relevant data network;
- the diagnosis data requests relaying device includes a dedicated physical programming access port, which is the only way to reprogram the diagnosis data requests relaying device;
- the safety relevant data network includes a Multifunction Vehicle Bus or MVB and the information data network is an Ethernet network.
- According to preferred embodiments:
- the transmitting device and/or the receiving device are adapted to communicate wirelessly with the back office, in particular via radio waves using e.g. the GSM standard;
- the railway vehicle is an electric multiple unit, preferably for passenger transport.
- A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the only drawing, which is a block diagram of a communication network according to the invention, including a railway vehicle's wired communication network, a wireless network and a plurality of remote back offices.
- The figure represents a communication network 1 comprising a
wired communication network 3, a wireless network 5 and anarray 7 ofremote back offices - The wireless network 5 may for example be a radio network using e.g. the GSM standard.
- The remote back offices are preferably implemented in the form of
remote servers remote server wired communication network 3 via the wireless network 5, as indicated by the arrows A. Eachremote server remote server 9 may for example manage the seat reservation in the railway vehicle and exchange reservation data with thewired communication network 3. The remote servers 10 (top and bottom of the figure) are diagnosis servers that receive or request diagnosis data from thewired communication network 3. - The reference sign U designates a common wireless interface with a single antenna and modem that is shared by four of the five
remote servers - The
wired communication network 3 is located in a railway vehicle. The boundaries of the railway vehicle are represented by thedashed line 11. The railway vehicle may for example be an electric multiple unit, preferably for passenger transport. - The
wired communication network 3 includes a safety relevant data network 13 (identified by the solid line) and an information data network 15 (identified by the chain-dotted line). - The safety
relevant data network 13 has a safetyrelevant data bus 17. The safetyrelevant data bus 17 is a Multifunction Vehicle Bus or MVB. - Several safety
relevant components 19 for safely operating the railway vehicle, such as a traction or braking unit, are connected to the MVB 17. At least some of the safetyrelevant components 19 are adapted to provide status data about their operation. This status data is sent over theMVB 17. - A processing and
diagnosing device 21 for controlling said safetyrelevant components 19, for receiving and processing said status data and for generating diagnosis data about the condition of the railway vehicle is also connected to theMVB 17. The processing anddiagnosing device 21 includes a main processing unit or MPU 21.1 and a driver display unit or DDU 21.2. Both the MPU 21.1 and the DDU 21.2 are connected to the MVB 17 via anMVB card 23. - The
information data network 15 is used to distribute information data, such as traffic or seat reservation data, inside the railway vehicle. It preferably has a star topology with acentral switch 25. Theinformation data network 15 is implemented in the form of an Ethernet network. Theswitch 25 is a central hub managing the communication between the various elements of theinformation data network 15. These elements are all connected to theswitch 25, as indicated by the arrows F. Some of these elements areterminal information equipment 27, such as a dynamic passenger information unit or a video camera. - The
information data network 15 also includes atransmitting device 29 that is connected to theswitch 25. Preferably, thetransmitting device 29 is a transceiver with amodem 31. Thetransceiver 29 is connected to aradio antenna 33 so that it can communicate wirelessly with one of theremote diagnosis servers 10. - The
information data network 15 also includes areceiving device 35 that is connected to theswitch 25. Preferably, thereceiving device 35 is a Passenger Information System controller or PIS controller. ThePIS controller 35 is configured for bidirectional radio communication with one of theremote diagnosis servers 10 and theremote servers 9. For this purpose, thePIS controller 35 has amodem 37 and is connected to aradio antenna 39. - A diagnosis data
requests relaying device 41, such as a specially modified MVB card, interconnects thePIS controller 35 and the safetyrelevant data network 13. The MVBcard 41 is adapted to relay a request for diagnosis data received by thePIS controller 35 from theremote diagnosis server 10 to the MPU 21.1 via the safetyrelevant data network 13, as indicated by the arrows P. - The MVB
card 41 has a special design such that it is only able to send predefined and fixed messages, of which there only is a limited number of different ones, to the MPU 21.1 via the safetyrelevant data network 13. - In order to prevent any remote hacking of the
MVB card 41, the same includes a dedicated physical programming access port, which is the only way to reprogram the MVBcard 41. - A
unidirectional security gateway 43 interconnects the DDU 21.2 and the Ethernetnetwork 15. As indicated by the arrows K, theunidirectional security gateway 43 allows data communication from the DDU 21.2 to theinformation Ethernet network 15 but prevents any data communication from theinformation Ethernet network 15 to the DDU 21.2. - The function of the
