- the present invention relates to a method and system for operating a self-contained track area having a number of switches disposed therein.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and a system for operating a delimited track area with a number of points arranged therein, which allow to guarantee a certain degree of security and at the same time a degree of flexibility offer the conversion of points in the demarcated track area.
- the second signaling elements it is apparent, for example, for the shunting personnel, if one or more points are currently set for a desired vehicle or are. It is then in the responsibility of the person acting in the track area staff, if the position of a switch is changed, if at the same time is signaled by the second signaling elements that this switch is changed for a set route.
- the first and the second signaling element can also be integrated, for example, in a single light source and signal the desired statement by encoding the display, such as fast or slow flashing.
- the staff in the track area can be signaled already in advance of the construction of the guideway that a stress on this at least one turnout for a guideway to be set is imminent. It is also at the discretion of the staff to decide in the track area, whether this at least one turnout is now still to be changed, or whether first the stress on the track is waited and then the change is made only after the dissolution of this track.
- At least one in the Way integrated switch optically and / or acoustically signaled that this at least one turnout for the set route is no longer to be taken and thus the infrastructure can be at least partially resolved.
- the staff in the track area receives the information here that a turnout is now more available for an individual, self-responsible changeover once it has been used for a roadway.
- this color code could also be used in the first signaling elements which signal the position of the switch.
- the position "DISCONTINUED” could, for example, be shown in red color in order to indicate the load of the diverter in the deflected position for a set route. Analogously, with the other o.g. Color codes are moved.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a switch W in undeflected position (a) and deflected position (b).
- the position of the switch W is indicated by two first display elements 2a, 2b.
- These first display elements 2a, 2b are located directly next to the switch W in the ballast track 4.
- These first display elements 2a, 2b are known in the art as dwarf signals and / or switch signals.
- a second display element 6 is now arranged in the immediate vicinity of the first display elements 2a, 2b in the track ballast 4 that, in the case of the flare shown here signals that this switch W is currently claimed for a provision of a guideway and thus a manual changeover as can be done by shunting personnel, for example, can lead to a security problem.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a track area 8, in which a plurality of points (registered are only the points W1 to W6) integrated.
- Each switch is, however, in principle equipped with the first and second display elements 2a, 2b, 6 shown in FIG. With a thicker line is in the FIG. 2 now a route 10 drawn and set by an actuator 12 under stress the points W1 to W6. For this reason, the second display elements 6 have been drawn as a glowing light bulb symbol. This indicates that the associated switch is claimed for the set route 10.
- the shunting staff working in the track area 8 is reliably signaled that when adjusting one of the points W1 to W6 the currently set track 10 is no longer guaranteed (safe). It is therefore at the discretion of the marshalling personnel, whether a possible switch circulation should take place.
- a check unit also integrated into the setting unit 12 can check the current positions of the points required for the route.
- the second display elements of the corresponding turnouts can already be made to flash. If the test has been completed and all switches have been brought into the switch positions required for this route, the corresponding second display elements 6 light up permanently. Only when the track 10 can be resolved again, the second display elements 6 can go back to the flashing mode to signal that the corresponding turnout is no longer used for a set route. With a different blinking frequency it is also possible to signal whether the associated switch is in the phase of the travel path 10 to be set or to be resolved.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren und ein System zum Betreiben eines in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereichs mit einer Anzahl von darin angeordneten Weichen.The present invention relates to a method and system for operating a self-contained track area having a number of switches disposed therein.
In sich abgrenzte Gleisbereiche bestehen beispielsweise in Form von Rangierbereichen, Depot-Bereichen, bestimmten Bereichen eines Bahnhofs und dergleichen. In derartigen in sich abgrenzten Gleisbereichen befindet sich in der Regel eine Vielzahl von Weichen, für die das Bedürfnis besteht sie flexibel umstellen zu können, zum Beispiel vor Ort durch das Rangierpersonal. Daneben gibt es aber auch den Bedarf, zum Beispiel regelmässig wiederkehrende Fahrwege innerhalb des in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereichs unter Inanspruchnahme von mehreren Weichen und der für den Fahrweg entsprechend vorbestimmten Weichenlage einstellen zu können. Bei kleineren Bahnunternehmungen und in kleinen Rangierbereichen wird das Einstellen der Weichen lokal durch das Rangierpersonal in eigener Verantwortung durchgeführt. Es besteht daher das Bedürfnis die Weichen auf zwei grundlegende Arten stellen zu können:
- a) einzelne Weichen individuell durch das Rangierpersonal umstellen zu können; und
- b) mehrere Weichen in Folge einstellen zu können, um einen geschlossenen Fahrweg durch den Gleisbereich bzw. eines Teils davon zu bilden.
- a) to be able to individually change individual points by the shunting personnel; and
- b) to be able to set several points in sequence to form a closed track through the track area or a part thereof.
Heutzutage ist es möglich, bei grösseren Gleisbereichen durch ein Stellwerk vorbestimmte Fahrwege zuzulassen. Die am Fahrweg beteiligten Weichen werden dann vom Stellwerk derart gestellt, dass Kollisionen mit anderen Fahrzeugen ausgeschlossen werden. So sind zum Beispiel Rangiersignale vorgesehen, die von einem Lokführer ein Halten verlangen. Sind jedoch derartige Fahrwege eingestellt, lässt das Stellwerk keine Weichenumstellung für jede der am Fahrweg beteiligten Weichen zu. Natürlich ist es leicht ersichtlich, dass hierdurch die Flexibilität der betrieblichen Abläufe unterbunden wird. Gleichzeitig bietet diese Vorgehensweise jedoch eine maximale Sicherheit zur Vermeidung von Kollisionen oder Entgleisungen und dergleichen.Today it is possible to allow for larger track areas through a signal box predetermined routes. The points involved in the route are then placed by the interlocking so that collisions with other vehicles are excluded. For example, shunting signals are provided which require a driver to stop. However, if such routes are set, the interlocking does not allow changeover points for each of the turnouts involved in the route. Of course, it is easy to see that this prevents the flexibility of the operational processes. At the same time, however, this approach offers a maximum Safety to avoid collisions or derailments and the like.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und ein System zum Betreiben eines in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereichs mit einer Anzahl von darin angeordneten Weichen anzugeben, welche es erlauben, ein gewisses Mass an Sicherheit zu garantieren und gleichzeitig auch ein gewisses Mass an Flexibilität bei der Umstellung von Weichen in dem in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereich anzubieten.The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and a system for operating a delimited track area with a number of points arranged therein, which allow to guarantee a certain degree of security and at the same time a degree of flexibility offer the conversion of points in the demarcated track area.
Diese Aufgabe wird bezüglich des Verfahrens erfindungsgemäss durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereichs mit einer Anzahl von darin angeordneten Weichen, welches die folgenden Verfahrensschritte umfasst:
- a) Einstellen eines Fahrweges unter Inanspruchnahme der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen und einer für die Weichen dieses Fahrwegs vorbestimmten Weichenlage;
- b) Überprüfen der aktuellen Lage der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen und ggfs. Verstellen der Weichen in die für diesen Fahrweg vorbestimmten Weichenlagen;
- c) Anzeigen der Weichenlage jeweils an jeder der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen; und
- d) Optisches und/oder akustisches Signalisieren an mindestens einer in den Fahrweg integrierten Weiche, dass diese mindestens eine Weiche für einen eingestellten Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen ist.
- a) setting a route using the integrated in the track switches and a predetermined for the points of this track switch location;
- b) checking the current position of the points integrated in the route and, if necessary. Adjusting the points in the predetermined for this route switch points;
- c) displaying the point location on each of the points integrated into the track turnouts; and
- d) visual and / or acoustic signaling on at least one integrated in the guideway switch, that this at least one turnout for a set route is taken.
Bezüglich des Systems wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäss durch ein System zum Betreiben eines in sich abgegrenzten Gleisbereichs mit einer Anzahl von darin angeordneten Weichen gelöst, umfassend:
- a) eine Stelleinrichtung zum Einstellen eines Fahrweges unter Inanspruchnahme der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen und zum Einstellen einer für die Weichen dieses Fahrwegs vorbestimmten Weichenlage;
- b) eine Prüfeinrichtung zum Überprüfen der aktuellen Lage der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen und ggfs. Verstellen der Weichen in den für diesen Fahrweg vorbestimmten Weichenlagen durch die Stelleinrichtung;
- c) erste Signalisierungselemente zum Anzeigen der Weichenlage jeweils an jeder der in den Fahrweg integrierten Weichen; und
- d) zweite Signalisierungselemente zum optischen und/oder akustischen Signalisieren an einer in den Fahrweg integrierten Weiche, dass diese Weichen für einen eingestellten Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen sind.
- a) an adjusting device for adjusting a route using the integrated into the track turnouts and setting a predetermined for the switches of this track switch location;
- b) a test device for checking the current position of the integrated in the track turnouts and, if necessary. Adjusting the points in the predetermined for this track switch positions by the adjusting device;
- c) first signaling elements for displaying the point location each on each of the integrated in the driveway points; and
- d) second signaling elements for optical and / or acoustic signaling on a switch integrated in the travel turnout that these switches are taken for a set route.
Auf diese Weise wird nun eine sehr gute Balance zwischen den Sicherheitsanforderungen und den Wünschen nach Flexibilität bei der Weichenumstellung erzielt. Dank der zweiten Signalisierungselemente ist es beispielsweise für das Rangierpersonal ersichtlich, wenn aktuell eine oder mehrere Weichen für einen gewünschten Fahrzeug eingestellt ist bzw. sind. Es liegt dann in der Verantwortungsgewalt des im Gleisbereich agierenden Personals, ob die Lage einer Weiche umgestellt wird, wenn gleichzeitig durch die zweiten Signalisierungselemente signalisiert ist, dass diese Weiche für eine eingestellten Fahrweg verändert wird. Das erste und das zweite Signalisierungselement können auch beispielsweise in eine einzige Lichtquelle integriert sein und durch die Codierung der Anzeige, wie zum Beispiel schnelles oder langsames Blinken, die gewünschte Aussage signalisieren.In this way, a very good balance is now achieved between the safety requirements and the wishes for flexibility in the switchover. Thanks to the second signaling elements, it is apparent, for example, for the shunting personnel, if one or more points are currently set for a desired vehicle or are. It is then in the responsibility of the person acting in the track area staff, if the position of a switch is changed, if at the same time is signaled by the second signaling elements that this switch is changed for a set route. The first and the second signaling element can also be integrated, for example, in a single light source and signal the desired statement by encoding the display, such as fast or slow flashing.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass an mindestens einer in den Fahrweg integrierte Weiche optisch und/oder akustisch signalisiert wird, dass diese mindestens eine Weiche für einen einzustellenden Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen werden soll. Auf diese Weise kann dem Personal im Gleisbereich bereits im Vorfeld des Aufbaus des Fahrwegs signalisiert werden, dass eine Beanspruchung dieser mindestens einen Weiche für einen einzustellenden Fahrweg unmittelbar bevorsteht. Auch liegt es dann im Ermessen des Personals im Gleisbereich zu entscheiden, ob diese mindestens eine Weiche nun noch umgestellt werden soll, oder ob zunächst die Beanspruchung für den Fahrweg abgewartet und die Umstellung dann erst nach der Auflösung dieses Fahrwegs vorgenommen wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it may be provided that is visually and / or acoustically signaled on at least one integrated in the track turnout that this is to be taken at least one turnout for a track to be set. In this way, the staff in the track area can be signaled already in advance of the construction of the guideway that a stress on this at least one turnout for a guideway to be set is imminent. It is also at the discretion of the staff to decide in the track area, whether this at least one turnout is now still to be changed, or whether first the stress on the track is waited and then the change is made only after the dissolution of this track.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass an mindestens einer in den Fahrweg integrierten Weiche optisch und/oder akustisch signalisiert wird, dass diese mindestens eine Weiche für den eingestellten Fahrweg nicht länger in Anspruch genommen werden soll und somit der Fahrweg zumindest teilweise aufgelöst werden kann. Damit erhält das Personal im Gleisbereich hier die Information, dass eine Weiche nun mehr nach einer Beanspruchung für einen Fahrweg nun wieder für eine individuelle eigenverantwortliche Umstellung zur Verfügung steht.In a further advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it may be provided that at least one in the Way integrated switch optically and / or acoustically signaled that this at least one turnout for the set route is no longer to be taken and thus the infrastructure can be at least partially resolved. In this way, the staff in the track area receives the information here that a turnout is now more available for an individual, self-responsible changeover once it has been used for a roadway.
In der Regel sind die ersten und zweiten Signalisierungselemente optischer Art, damit beispielsweise auch aus mässiger Entfernung, wie z.B. von einem Führerstand einer Lok aus, die Lage der Weiche und ggfs. ihre Beanspruchung für einen Fahrweg erkennbar ist. Im Besonderen die zweiten Signalisierungselemente können unterschiedlich ausgestaltet sein. So kann beispielsweise eine einfache zusätzliche Lichtquelle vorgesehen sein, deren Leuchten die Beanspruchung einer Weiche für einen Fahrweg anzeigt. Es könnte aber auch ein Ampelsystem vorgesehen sein, wobei mit:
- a) "GRÜN" signalisiert wird, dass die Weiche frei ist; und/oder
- b) "ROT" signalisiert wird, dass die Weiche für einen Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen ist; und/oder
- c) "GELB" signalisiert wird, dass die Weiche für einen Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen wird; und/oder
- d) "GELB blinkend" signalisiert wird, dass die Weiche für einen Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen war und nun wieder frei wird.
- a) "GREEN" is signaled that the switch is free; and or
- b) "RED" is signaled that the turnout has been used for a track; and or
- c) "YELLOW" is signaled that the switch is used for a track; and or
- d) "YELLOW flashing" signalizes that the switch was used for a track and is now free again.
Falls zusätzliche Leuchtelemente für diese Signalisierung vermieden werden sollen, könnte dieser Farbcode auch in den ersten Signalisierungselementen, die die Lage der Weiche signalisieren, zum Einsatz kommen. Die Stellung "ABGELENKT" könnte beispielsweise mit roter Farbe dargestellt sein, um die Beanspruchung der Weiche in abgelenkter Stellung für einen eingestellten Fahrweg anzuzeigen. Analog könnte mit den übrigen o.g. Farbcodes verfahren werden.If additional light elements for this signaling should be avoided, this color code could also be used in the first signaling elements which signal the position of the switch. The position "DISCONTINUED" could, for example, be shown in red color in order to indicate the load of the diverter in the deflected position for a set route. Analogously, with the other o.g. Color codes are moved.

Während dieser Prüfdauer können die zweiten Anzeigeelemente der entsprechenden Weichen bereits zum Blinken gebracht werden. Ist die Prüfung abgeschlossen und sind alle Weichen in die für diesen Fahrweg erforderlichen Weichenlagen gebracht worden, leuchten die entsprechenden zweiten Anzeigeelemente 6 dauerhaft auf. Erst wenn der Fahrweg 10 wieder aufgelöst werden kann, können die zweiten Anzeigeelemente 6 wieder in den Blinkbetrieb gehen, um zu signalisieren, dass die entsprechende Weiche nicht mehr für einen eingestellten Fahrweg in Anspruch genommen wird. Mit einer unterschiedlichen Blinkfrequenz kann auch noch signalisiert werden, ob sich die zugehörige Weiche in der Phase des einzustellenden oder aufzulösenden Fahrwegs 10 befindet.After the
