Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Sperrung eines mit Achszählern ausgerüsteten Gleisabschnittes und Signalisierung der Sperrung an die in dem Gleisabschnitt arbeitsbedingt befindlichen Personen sowie eine entsprechende Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for blocking a track section equipped with axle counters and signaling the blockage to the persons in the track section as a result of work and to a corresponding device.

Der Sicherheit und dem Gesundheitsschutz von Personen, die sich arbeitsbedingt im Gefahrenbereich der Gleise von Schienenfahrzeugen aufhalten müssen, kommt eine große Bedeutung zu. Allein im Bereich der Deutschen Bahn AG werden täglich etwa 3000 Baustellen für Gleisbau- und Gleisreparaturarbeiten sowie für Wartungszwecke betrieben. Von Schienenfahrzeugen, die im Gegensatz zu Kraftfahrzeugen nicht ausweichen können und deren Bremswege extrem lang und schwer abschätzbar sind, geht naturgemäß eine erhebliche Gefahr aus. Hinzu kommt, dass durch die vergleichsweise geringe Geräuschemission moderner Schienenfahrzeuge deren akustische Wahrnehmbarkeit, insbesondere bei größerem Umgebungslärm, erheblich erschwert ist.The safety and health protection of people who have to work in the danger zone of railroad tracks is of great importance. In the area of Deutsche Bahn AG alone, about 3,000 construction sites are operated daily for track construction and track repair work as well as for maintenance purposes. From rail vehicles, which can not evade in contrast to motor vehicles and their braking distances are extremely long and difficult to estimate, naturally runs a considerable risk. In addition, due to the comparatively low noise emission of modern rail vehicles, their acoustic perceptibility, especially in the case of greater environmental noise, is made considerably more difficult.

Bisher werden für die sogenannte Rottenwarnung entweder organisatorische Maßnahmen ergriffen oder es erfolgt eine Sperrung des betreffenden Gleisabschnittes, wobei eine Signalisierung der Sperrung beziehungsweise eine sicherungstechnisch unterstützte Warnung erfolgt.So far, either organizational measures are taken for the so-called Rottenwarnung or there is a blocking of the relevant track section, with a signaling of the blocking or a fuse-technically supported warning takes place.

Das Sperren des Gleisabschnittes bewirkt, dass auf diesem Gleisabschnitt kein Zugverkehr stattfinden kann. Bei einer bekannten Befahrbarkeitssperre wird diese vom Fahrdienstleiter im Stellwerk eingetragen und daraufhin automatisch im Bahnbetrieb berücksichtigt. Für dieses Verfahren ist eine enge Abstimmung per mündlicher Kommunikation, insbesondere mittels Funk, zwischen den Personen im Gleisabschnitt und dem Fahrdienstleiter erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass der jeweils gesperrte Gleisabschnitt wirklich den tatsächlichen Aufenthaltsort der im Gleisbereich befindlichen Personen überdeckt. Hierbei sind jedoch Irrtümer durch menschliches Versagen nicht auszuschließen. Außerdem besteht eine Unsicherheit bezüglich der Ausdehnung und Lage der gegen Befahren gesperrten Gleisabschnitte, insbesondere wenn mehrere Gleise direkt nebeneinander verlaufen. Um den Bahnbetrieb möglichst wenig zu beeinträchtigen, werden zudem Befahrbarkeitssperren teilweise nur sehr kurzzeitig oder nicht durchgängig während des gesamten Zeitraumes der Gleisarbeiten vorgenommen, so dass immer wieder Zeiten ohne jegliche Sperrung, das heißt ohne wirksame technische Sicherung auftreten.The blocking of the track section causes that no train traffic can take place on this track section. In a known vulnerability barrier this is entered by the dispatcher in the signal box and then automatically considered in rail operations. For this procedure, close coordination by oral communication, in particular by radio, between the persons in the track section and the dispatcher is required to ensure that the section of track blocked in each case is actually the actual track Whereabouts of persons in the track area are covered. However, errors due to human error can not be ruled out. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding the extent and location of the track sections blocked off from traffic, especially if several tracks run directly next to each other. In order to affect the railway operations as little as possible, drivability barriers are sometimes made only very briefly or not consistently during the entire period of track work, so that time and again occur without any blocking, that is without effective technical backup.

Bei einer anderen Lösung, die das Vorhandensein von Gleiskreisen voraussetzt, werden Arbeiten in Gleisen durch Schienenklammern geschützt. Die Schienenklammer sind durch ein Kabel verbunden und schließen damit den Gleiskreis kurz, wodurch eine sichere Belegt-Meldung erzeugt wird, die stellwerkseitig ausgewertet wird. Eine solche Lösung zeigt das Dokument EP 2 206 635 A1 .In another solution, which requires the presence of track circuits, work in tracks is protected by rail clips. The rail clamps are connected by a cable and thus close the track circuit briefly, whereby a secure busy message is generated, which is evaluated by the interworking side. Such a solution shows the document EP 2 206 635 A1 ,

Nachteilig ist insbesondere, dass diese Lösung bei Gleisfreimeldesystemen mit Achszählern nicht funktioniert, weil Störungen von Achszählern von übergeordneten Systemen, insbesondere Stellwerk, ATP (Automatic Train Protection) und/oder ATO (Automatic Train Operation) und/oder ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), nicht notwendigerweise restriktiv, das heißt als Belegt -Meldung, ausgewertet werden.A particular disadvantage is that this solution does not work with train detection systems with axle counters, because faults of axle counters of higher-level systems, in particular interlocking, ATP (Automatic Train Protection) and / or ATO (Automatic Train Operation) and / or ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), not necessarily restrictive, that is as a busy message, to be evaluated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Gefährdung von in einem mit Achszählern ausgerüsteten Gleisabschnitt arbeitsbedingt befindlichen Personen zu reduzieren. Dabei ist insbesondere sicherungstechnische Funktionsweise bei möglichst geringem Aufwand anzustreben.The invention has for its object to reduce the risk of occupants in a equipped with axle meters track section work-related people. In particular, safety-related operation is desirable with the least possible effort.

Verfahrensgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass ein Ausgangssignal mindestens eines der den Gleisabschnitt begrenzenden Achszähler derart eingestellt oder konfiguriert wird, dass stellwerkseitig die Sperrung des Gleisabschnittes bewirkt wird, wobei die Sperrung an den Gleisabschnitt zurückgemeldet und signalisiert wird.According to the method, the object is achieved in that an output signal of at least one of the track section limiting axle counter is set or configured such that the locking side of the track section is effected, the blocking is reported back to the track section and signaled.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß Anspruch 7 auch durch eine Vorrichtung gelöst, bei der einer der Achszähler mit einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung eines sperrungsspezifischen Ausgangssignals verbunden ist.The object is achieved according to claim 7 also by a device in which one of the axle counter is connected to a device for generating a lock-specific output signal.

Auf diese Weise werden mittels Achszähler sichere Befahrbarkeitssperren erzeugt, welche, vorzugsweise permanent, optisch und/oder akustisch an die in den Gleisabschnitt befindlichen Personen signalisiert werden. Die bisher notwendige, überwiegend mündlich durchgeführte und damit fehleranfällige Kommunikation zwischen Personen im Gleisbereich und Fahrdienstleiter entfällt. Dadurch werden bestimmte Fehlerquellen, insbesondere falsche Ortsbestimmung der Personen, Sperrung eines falschen Gleises oder eines falschen Gleisabschnittes, ausgeschlossen. Durch die Achszähler können Gleisarbeiten durch eine Vor-Ort-Maßnahme gesichert werden. Vorlaufzeiten oder eine zeitlich längere Sperrung als tatsächlich notwendig entfallen. Außerdem wird weitgehend bestehende Technik genutzt. Lediglich das Ausgangssignal der Achszähler muss derart einstellbar oder konfigurierbar sein, dass ein sperrungsspezifisches Ausgangssignal erzeugt wird, welches stellwerkseitig immer als Belegt-Meldung interpretiert wird. Diese Art der Belegt-Meldung kann von den üblichen Belegt-Meldungen unterscheidbar ausgebildet sein.In this way, secure trafficability barriers are generated by means of axle counters which are signaled, preferably permanently, optically and / or acoustically to the persons located in the track section. The previously necessary, mainly verbally carried out and thus error-prone communication between people in the track area and Dispatcher deleted. As a result, certain sources of error, in particular incorrect location of the person, blocking a wrong track or a wrong track section, excluded. The axle counters allow track work to be secured by an on-site measure. Lead times or a longer period of time than actually necessary omitted. In addition, largely existing technology is used. Only the output signal of the axle counters must be adjustable or configurable in such a way that a lock-specific output signal is generated, which is always interpreted as a busy message on the standstill. This type of busy message can be made distinguishable from the usual busy messages.

Die Einstellung oder Konfiguration des Achszähler-Ausgangssignal kann beispielsweise auf Basis eines hinreichend langen Datentelegramms, das an das Stellwerk gesendet wird, oder mittels kryptografischer Schlüssel erfolgen, um die erforderliche signaltechnische Sicherheit zu erreichen. Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist vorgesehen, dass die Sperrung durch stellwerkseitige Ansteuerung einer Einrichtung des Achszählers rückgemeldet wird. Die Rückmeldung kann beispielsweise direkt am Achszähler durch eine LED angezeigt werden. Dadurch ist für die Personen im Gleisabschnitt sichergestellt, dass die Sperrung stellwerkseitig tatsächlich erfolgt ist. Entsprechend der Betriebsordnung des jeweiligen Bahnbetreibers kann die Befahrbarkeitssperre auch durch den Fahrdienstleiter an den Gleisabschnitt rückgemeldet werden. Das Vorhandensein eines Funksystems kann vorausgesetzt werden, da bei herkömmlichen Verfahren eine Abstimmung zwischen den im Gleisabschnitt befindlichen Personen und dem Fahrdienstleiter zwingend erforderlich ist. Vorzugsweise wird die erfolgreiche Einrichtung der Befahrbarkeitssperre an ein mobiles Bediengerät des Personals im Gleisabschnitt übermittelt und angezeigt. Auch das Nichtvorhandensein der gewünschten Befahrbarkeitssperre, beispielsweise aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen im Stellwerk, wird, gegebenenfalls mit Angabe zur Ursache, an den Gleisabschnitt übermittelt und dort signalisiert.The setting or configuration of the Achszähler output signal can be done, for example, based on a sufficiently long data message that is sent to the signal box, or by means of cryptographic key to achieve the required signaling security. According to claim 2 it is provided that the blocking is confirmed by the control unit side of a device of the axle counter. The feedback can be displayed, for example, directly on the axle counter by an LED. As a result, it is ensured for the persons in the track section that the blocking has actually occurred on the off-set side. In accordance with the operating regulations of the respective railway operator, the drivability lock can also be confirmed by the dispatcher to the track section. The presence of a radio system can be assumed, as in conventional methods a coordination between the persons in the track section and the dispatcher is absolutely necessary. Preferably, the successful establishment of the drivability lock is transmitted to a mobile control unit of the staff in the track section and displayed. Also, the absence of the desired drivability barrier, for example, for safety reasons in the signal box, is transmitted, possibly indicating the cause, to the track section and signaled there.

Eine weitere Alternative oder zusätzliche Rückmeldung der Sperrung erfolgt gemäß Anspruch 3 durch stellwerkseitiges Aktivieren einer automatischen Nachricht an dem Gleisabschnitt. Beispielsweise kann bei erfolgreicher Einrichtung der Befahrbarkeitssperre automatisch eine SMS-Nachricht an den Gleisabschnitt gesendet werden.A further alternative or additional feedback of the blockage is carried out according to claim 3 by actuating an automatic message on the track section. For example, upon successful establishment of the driveability lock, an SMS message may be automatically sent to the track section.

Vorzugsweise ist gemäß Anspruch 4 vorgesehen, dass das Achszähler-Ausgangssignal richtungsabhängig moduliert wird. Diese Verfahrensweise bietet sich insbesondere bei Achszählern in Form von Doppelsensoren an.Preferably, it is provided according to claim 4 that the axle counter output signal is modulated direction-dependent. This procedure is particularly suitable for axle counters in the form of double sensors.

Gemäß Anspruch 5 wird das Achszähler-Ausgangssignal zur Übertragung eines mehrere Achszählabschnitte umfassenden Gleisabschnittes an das Stellwerk moduliert. Dadurch können unterschiedlich lange Befahrbarkeitssperren auf einfache Weise und mit einem einzigen Datentelegramm, das von einem einzigen Achszähler an das Stellwerk gesendet wird, realisiert werden.In accordance with claim 5, the Achszähler output signal for transmitting a multiple Achszählabschnitte comprehensive track section is modulated to the interlocking. As a result, different-length traffic closures can be realized in a simple manner and with a single data telegram sent to the signal box by a single axle counter.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des Verfahrens besteht gemäß Anspruch 6 darin, dass das Achszähler-Ausgangssignal zur Übertragung einer Achszähleridentifikationsnummer und/oder einer Zeitinformation an das Stellwerk moduliert wird. Die Modulation dieser Achszähler-ID ist einem bestimmten Achszähler zugeordnet und ist in diesem hinterlegt, wodurch signaltechnische Sicherheit erreicht werden kann.A particularly advantageous development of the method according to claim 6 is that the Achszähler output signal for transmitting an axle counter identification number and / or a time information modulated to the interlocking becomes. The modulation of this axle counter ID is assigned to a specific axle counter and is stored in this, whereby signal safety can be achieved.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer figürlichen Darstellung näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a figurative representation.

Die Figur zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels zur Signalisierung einer Befahrbarkeitssperre an Arbeits-Personal 1, wobei streckenseitig 2 Achszähler 3 und 4 vorgesehen sind. Üblicherweise werden die Ausgangssignale der beiden Achszähler 3 und 4 über einen Achszählrechner 5 an ein Stellwerk 6 übertragen. Dem Stellwerk 6 ist dabei eine ATP-Einrichtung (Automatic Train Protection) 7 parallelgeschaltet und eine ATS-Einrichtung (Automatic Train Supervision) 8 nachgeschaltet. Ein Fahrdienstleiter 9 stellt durch Kommandofreigabe sicher, dass der zwischen den Achszählern 3 und 4 befindliche Achszählabschnitt 10 "frei oder belegt" 11 ist. Bei bestimmten Achszählfehlern gibt es außerdem den Zustand "gestört" 12, der nicht automatisch zu einer Belegt-Meldung führen muss.The figure shows a schematic representation of an embodiment for signaling a drivability barrier to work personnel 1, wherein the track side 2 axle counter 3 and 4 are provided. Usually, the output signals of the two axle counters 3 and 4 are transmitted via a Achszählrechner 5 to a signal box 6. The signal box 6 is an ATP device (Automatic Train Protection) 7 connected in parallel and an ATS device (Automatic Train Supervision) 8 downstream. A dispatcher 9 ensures by command release that the axle counting section 10 located between the axle counters 3 and 4 is "free or occupied" 11. For certain axis counting errors, there is also the status "disturbed" 12, which does not automatically lead to a busy message.

Eine sichere Sperrungs-Meldung ist aber erforderlich, wenn der Achszählabschnitt 10 gesperrt werden soll, da sich in diesem Achszählabschnitt 10 arbeitsbedingt Personen 1 befinden.A secure blocking message is required, however, if the Achszählabschnitt 10 is to be locked because there are people 1 in this Achszählabschnitt 10 due to work.

Dazu wird ein dritter Zustand "gesperrt" 13 erzeugt, der mittels einer den Achszähler 3 beaufschlagenden Modulationseinrichtung 14 eingestellt wird. Das Ausgangssignal des Achszählers 3 wird dabei von dem Arbeits-Personal 1 derart verändert, dass über den Achszählrechner 5 ein Signal an das Stellwerk 6 übertragen wird, welches stellwerkseitig als Sperrbefehl für den Achszählabschnitt 10 interpretiert wird. Diese Befahrbarkeitssperre wird automatisch oder durch den Fahrdienstleiter 9 an das Arbeits-Personal 1 rückgemeldet. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass der Achszählabschnitt 10 für Schienenfahrzeuge gesperrt ist, wobei die Sperrung optisch und/oder akustisch zur Information des Arbeits-Personals 11 signalisiert wird, solange an der Modulationseinrichtung 14 die Sperranforderung eingestellt bleibt. Dadurch ist eine zeitlich und örtlich exakt dem tatsächlichen Bedarf des Arbeits-Personals 1 entsprechende Sperrung des jeweiligen Gleisabschnittes möglich.For this purpose, a third state "locked" 13 is generated, which is adjusted by means of a the axis counter 3 acting on modulation device 14. The output signal of the axle counter 3 is thereby changed by the work staff 1 such that a signal is transmitted to the interlocking 6 via the Achszählrechner 5, which is interpreted as an interlocking command for the Achszählabschnitt 10. This driveability lock is automatically returned to the labor staff 1 or by the dispatcher 9. In this way, it is ensured that the axle counting section 10 is locked for rail vehicles, wherein the Blocking is optically and / or acoustically signaled to the information of the work personnel 11, as long as the lock request is set to the modulation device 14. As a result, a temporally and locally exactly corresponding to the actual needs of the work staff 1 blocking the respective track section is possible.

Außer der Sperranforderung können durch die Modulation des Ausgangssignals des Achszählers 9 auch Zusatzinformationen, beispielsweise bezüglich der Richtung und der Anzahl der zu sperrenden Achszählabschnitte 10 oder die Achszähler-ID oder auch eine Zeitinformation, an das Stellwerk 6 zwecks Auswertung und gegebenenfalls Initiierung entsprechender Reaktionen, übertragen werden. Die erreichbare Sicherheit wird dadurch nochmals verbessert, wobei vorhandene Komponenten lediglich durch die Modulationseinrichtung 14 zur Einstellung des dritten Zustandes "gesperrt" 13 erforderlich ist.In addition to the lock request, the modulation of the output signal of the axle counter 9 can also transmit additional information, for example with respect to the direction and the number of axle counting sections 10 or the axle counter ID or time information, to the interlocking 6 for the purpose of evaluation and, if appropriate, initiation of appropriate reactions become. The achievable security is thereby further improved, wherein existing components only by the modulation means 14 for setting the third state "locked" 13 is required.
