Gemäß Figur 1 ist ein Streckennetz SN in Streckenbereiche SB1, SB2, SB3 gegliedert, wobei jedem der Streckenbereiche SB1, SB2, SB3 jeweils eine erste Streckenzentrale RBC11 bzw. RBC21 bzw. RBC31 und eine zweite Streckenzentrale RBC12 bzw. RBC22 bzw. RBC32z einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung A zugeordnet ist. Die Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC12, RBC21, RBC22, RBC31, RBC32 sind als Funkblockzentralen (in Englisch: Radio Block Center), insbesondere als ETCS-Funkblockzentralen, ausgebildet.According to figure 1 a route network SN is divided into route areas SB1, SB2, SB3, with each of the route areas SB1, SB2, SB3 being assigned a first route center RBC11 or RBC21 or RBC31 and a second route center RBC12 or RBC22 or RBC32z of an arrangement A according to the invention . The routing centers RBC11, RBC12, RBC21, RBC22, RBC31, RBC32 are designed as radio block centers (in English: radio block centers), in particular as ETCS radio block centers.

Dabei sind die mit RBC11 und RBC12 bezeichneten zwei Funkblockzentralen dem mit SB1 bezeichneten Streckenbereich zugeordnet. Die mit RBC21 und RBC22 bezeichneten zwei Funkblockzentralen sind dem mit SB2 bezeichneten Streckenbereich zugeordnet und die mit RBC31 und RBC32 bezeichneten zwei Funkblockzentralen sind dem mit SB3 bezeichneten Streckenbereich zugeordnet.The two radio block centers labeled RBC11 and RBC12 are assigned to the route area labeled SB1. The two radio block centers denoted RBC21 and RBC22 are assigned to the route area denoted SB2 and the two radio block centers denoted RBC31 and RBC32 are assigned to the route area denoted SB3.

Die Funktionsweise der paarweise einem der Streckenbereiche SB1, SB2, SB3 zugeordneten Funkblockzentralen RBC11 und RBC12 bzw. RBC21 und RBC22 bzw. RBC31 und RBC32 wird später anhand der beiden dem Streckenbereich SB2 zugeordneten Funkblockzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 erläutert. Die beiden einem jeweiligen Streckenabschnitt zugeordneten Funkblockzentralen sind an räumlich getrennten Orten installiert. So ist beispielsweise die Funkblockzentrale RBC21 am Ort 021 und die Funkblockzentrale RBC22 am vom Ort 021 räumlich getrennten Ort 022 installiert.The mode of operation of the radio block centers RBC11 and RBC12 or RBC21 and RBC22 or RBC31 and RBC32 assigned in pairs to one of the route areas SB1, SB2, SB3 is explained later using the two radio block centers RBC21 and RBC22 assigned to the route area SB2. The two radio block centers assigned to a respective route section are installed at separate locations. For example, the RBC21 radio block center is installed at location 021 and the RBC22 radio block center is installed at location 022, which is spatially separate from location 021.

In dem mit SB2 bezeichneten Streckenbereich SB2 befindet sich ein spurgeführtes Fahrzeug T in Form eines Schienenfahrzeugs, für dessen Fahrbetrieb zum einen die mit RBC21 bezeichnete erste Funkblockzentrale aber redundant auch die mit RBC22 bezeichnete Funkblockzentrale verantwortlich ist.In the route area SB2 labeled SB2 there is a track-guided vehicle T in the form of a rail vehicle, for the driving operation of which the first radio block control center labeled RBC21 but redundantly the radio block control center labeled RBC22 is also responsible.

Hierzu sind die beiden dem Streckenbereich SB2 zugeordneten Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 hinsichtlich ihrer für die Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 geeignet ausgebildeten datentechnischen Verbindungen D211 bzw. D221, D212 bzw. D222, D213 bzw. D223, D214 bzw. D224, D215 bzw. D225, D216 bzw. D226, D217 bzw. D227, D218 bzw. D228 mit weiteren Streckenkomponenten KMC, OCS, EI, MSC und mit den Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC12, RBC31, RBC32, welche den benachbarten Streckenbereichen SB1, SB3 zugeordneten sind, redundant vorkonfiguriert bereitgestellt.For this purpose, the two route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 assigned to the route area SB2 are D211 or D221, D212 or D222, D213 or D223, D214 or D224, D215 or D225 with regard to their suitably designed data connections for the implementation of the driving operation in the route area SB2 , D216 or D226, D217 or D227, D218 or D228 with further route components KMC, OCS, EI, MSC and with the route control centers RBC11, RBC12, RBC31, RBC32, which are assigned to the adjacent route areas SB1, SB3, redundantly preconfigured .

Die beiden dem Streckenbereich SB2 zugeordneten Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 sind also hinsichtlich der Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 statisch fest vorprojektiert, wobei die Vorkonfiguration bzw. Vorprojektierung im Betrieb nicht mehr änderbar ist. Die beiden dem Streckenbereich SB2 zugeordneten Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 besitzen auch einen gleichen Streckenatlas für den Streckenbereich SB2, in dem erforderliche statische Informationen zu möglichen Fahrwegen im Streckenbereich SB2 abgelegt sind.The two route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 assigned to the route area SB2 are therefore statically pre-configured with regard to the implementation of the driving operation in the route area SB2, with the pre-configuration or pre-project planning no longer being able to be changed during operation. The two route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 assigned to the route area SB2 also have the same route atlas for the route area SB2, in which the required static information on possible routes in the route area SB2 is stored.

Von den weiteren Streckenkomponenten zeigt die Figur 1 eine Schlüsselmanagementzentrale KMC (in Englisch: Key Management Center), ein Betriebsleitsystem (Bedienplatz) OCS (in Englisch: Operation Control System), ein elektronisches Stellwerk EI (in Englisch: Elektronik Interlocking) sowie eine Mobilfunkvermittlungsanlage MSC (in Englisch: Mobile Switching Center).From the other route components shows the figure 1 a key management center KMC (in English: Key Management Center), an operations control system (operating station) OCS (in English: Operation Control System), an electronic interlocking EI (in English: Electronics Interlocking) and a mobile radio switching system MSC (in English: Mobile Switching Center) .

Die Mobilfunkvermittlungsanlage MSC steht ihrerseits in datentechnischer Verbindung mit einer streckenseitigen Basisstationssteuerung BSC (in Englisch: Base Station Controller).The mobile radio switching system MSC is in turn in data-technical connection with a route-side base station controller BSC (in English: Base Station Controller).

Außerdem steht die Basisstationssteuerung BSC in datentechnischer Verbindung mit einer streckenseitigen Basisfunkstation BTS (in Englisch: Base Transmission Station), welche über eine angeschlossene Funkübertragungseinheit BA in Form einer streckenseitigen Sende- und Empfangs-Antenneneinheit über als Ganzes mit K1 bezeichnete Funkkanäle Informationen zu dem Fahrzeug T senden und von dem Fahrzeug F empfangen kann.In addition, the base station controller BSC is in data communication with a trackside base radio station BTS (Base Transmission Station), which transmits information about the vehicle T can send and receive from the vehicle F.

Das Fahrzeug T weist seinerseits ein Fahrzeugfunkmodul TTM (in Englisch: Train Transmission Modul) auf, welches über eine angeschlossene Funkübertragungseinheit TA in Form einer fahrzeugseitigen Sende- und Empfangs-Antenneneinheit Informationen zu der Basisfunkstation BTS senden und von der Basisfunkstation BTS empfangen kann.The vehicle T in turn has a vehicle radio module TTM (Train Transmission Module) which can send information to the base radio station BTS and receive it from the base radio station BTS via a connected radio transmission unit TA in the form of a vehicle-side transmitting and receiving antenna unit.

Das Fahrzeugfunkmodul TTM steht in datentechnischer Verbindung mit einem Fahrzeuggerät EVC (in Englisch: European Vital Computer).The vehicle radio module TTM has a data connection with an on-board device EVC (European Vital Computer).

An das Fahrzeuggerät EVC sind eine Balisenantenneneinheit BA, ein Raddrehzahlsensor S sowie ein Führerstandsdisplay DMI (in Englisch: Driver Machine Interface) angeschlossen.A balise antenna unit BA, a wheel speed sensor S and a driver's cab display DMI (in English: Driver Machine Interface) are connected to the on-board unit EVC.

Die Balisenantenneneinheit BA empfängt über zumindest einen einen Funkkanal K2 Informationen, beispielsweise Ortsinformationen, von streckenseitig installierten Balisen B, wobei in der Figur 1 nur eine der Balisen B gezeigt ist.The beacon antenna unit BA receives information, for example location information, via at least one radio channel K2. of trackside installed beacons B, where in the figure 1 only one of the balises B is shown.

Durch Vorkonfigurieren bzw. Vorprojektieren der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 sind zum einen zwischen jeder der weiteren Streckenkomponenten KMC, OCS, EI, MSC und einer jeweiligen der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 jeweils ein Datenübertragungspfad D211 bzw. D221, D212 bzw. D222, D213 bzw. D223, D218 bzw. D228 vorkonfiguriert. Die Streckenkomponenten KMC, OCS, EI, MSC stellen jeweils zumindest einen Teil von für die Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes erforderliche Fahrbetriebsinformationen I2 oder weitere zur Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes notwendige oder hilfreiche Informationen bereit.By preconfiguring or pre-planning the two route control centers RBC21, RBC22, on the one hand, a data transmission path D211 or D221, D212 or D222, D213 or D223, D218 or D228 preconfigured. The route components KMC, OCS, EI, MSC each provide at least part of the driving operation information I2 required for carrying out the driving operation or other information necessary or helpful for carrying out the driving operation.

So stellt die Schlüsselmanagementzentrale KMC beispielsweise als weitere Informationen elektronische Schlüssel ES21, ES22 bereit, welche für die Funkkommunikation notwendig sind, da sie der Authentifizierung zwischen dem Streckenbereich S2 und dem Fahrzeug T dienen.For example, the key management center KMC provides electronic keys ES21, ES22 as further information, which are necessary for radio communication since they are used for authentication between the route area S2 and the vehicle T.

Das Betriebsleitsystem OCS stellt beispielsweise einen Teil statischer der Fahrbetriebsinformationen, insbesondere Restriktionsinformationen IR2 bereit. Zu den Restriktionsinformationen IR2 zählen beispielsweise Informationen über Langsamfahrstellen.The operations control system OCS provides, for example, part of the static driving operation information, in particular restriction information I R 2 . The restriction information I R 2 includes, for example, information about speed restrictions.

Die Mobilfunkvermittlungsanlage MSC stellt dynamische der Fahrbetriebsinformationen bereit - also beispielsweise eine Information über den aktuelle Ort Io2 und eine Information über die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit Iv2 des Fahrzeuges T im Streckenbereich SB2, welche das Fahrzeug T über die Sende- und Empfangs-Antenneneinheit TA seines Fahrzeugfunkmoduls TTM an die Sende- und Empfangs-Antenneneinheit BA der Basisfunkstation BTS ausgibt. Seinen aktuelle Ort und seine aktuelle Geschwindigkeit ermittelt das Fahrzeug T in bekannter Weise selbst, mit Hilfe von Ortsangaben der überfahrenen Balisen B und mit Hilfe von Messwerten zumindest eines Raddrehzahlsensors S.The mobile radio switching system MSC provides dynamic driving operation information - for example information about the current location I o 2 and information about the current speed I v 2 of the vehicle T in the route area SB2, which the vehicle T via the transmitting and receiving antenna unit TA outputs his vehicle radio module TTM to the transmitting and receiving antenna unit BA of the base radio station BTS. The vehicle T determines its current location and its current speed itself in a known manner, with the aid of location information from the beacons B that it has driven over and with the help of measured values from at least one wheel speed sensor S.

Das elektronische Stellwerk EI stellt beispielsweise dynamische Fahrbetriebsinformationen in Form von Informationen über die in dem Streckenbereich SB2 von den Fahrzeugen zu befahrenden Fahrwegelementen bereit - also insbesondere die hier als Ganzes mit Is2 bezeichneten Informationen über die jeweilige aktuelle Stellung von in dem Streckenbereich SB2 von den Fahrzeugen zu befahrenden Weichen und Signalen.The electronic interlocking EI provides, for example, dynamic driving information in the form of information about the route elements to be traveled by the vehicles in the route area SB2 - i.e. in particular the information referred to here as a whole with I s 2 about the respective current position of in the route area SB2 of the Points and signals to be passed by vehicles.

Durch das Vorkonfigurieren bzw. Vorprojektieren der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 sind auch zwischen jeder der einem benachbarten Streckenbereich SB1 oder SB2 zugeordneten Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC12 bzw. RBC31, RBC32 und einer jeweiligen der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 jeweils ein Datenübertragungspfad D214 bzw. D224, D215 bzw. D225, D216 bzw. D226, D217 bzw. D227 vorkonfiguriert um Informationen auszutauschen, welche eine Fahrt unter Führung über die Grenzen G1, G2 zwischen den Streckenbereichen SB1 und SB2 bzw. SB2 und SB3 zu ermöglichen. Diese Informationen geben beispielsweise einen Fahrweg an, welcher zu dem Fahrzeug T in dem in Fahrtrichtung R zu dem Streckenbereich SB2 benachbarten Streckenbereich SB3 bereits eingestellt wurde. In der Figur 1 sind diese Informationen als Ganzes mit ISB12 bzw. ISB32 bezeichnet.Due to the preconfiguration or pre-planning of the two route control centers RBC21, RBC22, a data transmission path D214 or D224, D215 or D225, D216 or D226, D217 or D227 preconfigured in order to exchange information which enable driving under guidance across the borders G1, G2 between the route areas SB1 and SB2 or SB2 and SB3. This information indicates, for example, a route that has already been set for the vehicle T in the route area SB3 that is adjacent to the route area SB2 in the direction of travel R. In FIG. 1, this information is denoted as a whole by I SB1 2 or I SB3 2 .

Die datentechnischen Verbindungen sind also bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung A in bevorzugter Weise als Datenübertragungspfade D211, D221, D212, D222, D213, D223, D214, D224, D215, D225, D216, D226, D217, D227, D218, D228 in einem ersten Datenübertagungsnetz DN1, insbesondere als Ethernetverbindungen in einem ersten Ethernet, ausgebildet.In the exemplary embodiment of arrangement A according to the invention shown, the technical data connections are preferably in the form of data transmission paths D211, D221, D212, D222, D213, D223, D214, D224, D215, D225, D216, D226, D217, D227, D218, D228 a first data transmission network DN1, in particular as Ethernet connections in a first Ethernet.

Zum anderen ist durch das Vorkonfigurieren der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 zumindest ein anderer Datenübertragungspfad D2, welcher die beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 datentechnisch verbindet, vorkonfiguriert. Der andere Datenübertragungspfad D2 ist vorzugsweise in einem anderen Datenübertagungsnetz DN2, insbesondere als Ethernetverbindung in einem anderen Ethernet, ausgebildet.On the other hand, at least one other data transmission path D2, which connects the two route centers RBC21, RBC22 connects in terms of data technology, preconfigured. The other data transmission path D2 is preferably in another data transmission network DN2, in particular as an Ethernet connection in another Ethernet.

Außerdem ist den beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 durch das Vorkonfigurieren bzw. Vorprojektieren jeweils eine Schalteinrichtung SE1 bzw. SE2 zugeordnet.In addition, the two control centers RBC21, RBC22 are each assigned a switching device SE1 or SE2 as a result of the preconfiguration or preproject planning.

Die Schalteinrichtung SE1 schließt beim Überführen in eine EIN-Stellung die Datenpfade D212, D213, D214, D215, D216, D217, D218 und sie unterbricht diese Datenpfade beim Überführen in eine AUS-Stellung.When switched to an ON position, the switching device SE1 closes the data paths D212, D213, D214, D215, D216, D217, D218 and interrupts these data paths when switched to an OFF position.

Die Schalteinrichtung SE2 schließt beim Überführen in eine EIN-Stellung die Datenpfade D222, D223, D224, D225, D226, D227, D228 und sie unterbricht diese Datenpfade beim Überführen in eine AUS-Stellung.When switching to an ON position, the switching device SE2 closes the data paths D222, D223, D224, D225, D226, D227, D228 and interrupts these data paths when switching to an OFF position.

Hierzu umfasst jede der Schalteinrichtungen SE21, SE22 einen manuell betätigbaren Schalter S21 bzw. S22, eine im Zuge einer an eine Spannungsversorgung U21 bzw. U22 angeschlossenen Versorgungsleitung L21 bzw. L22 angeordnete Relaisspule A21 bzw. A22 und mehrere von der jeweiligen Relaisspule geschaltete Kontakte K21S2, K21S3, K21S4, K21S5, K21S6, K21S7, K21S8 bzw. K22S2, K22S3, K22S4, K22S5, K22S6, K22S7, K22S8 in Form von Schließern.For this purpose, each of the switching devices SE21, SE22 comprises a manually operable switch S21 or S22, a relay coil A21 or A22 arranged in the course of a supply line L21 or L22 connected to a voltage supply U21 or U22 and several contacts K21 or S2 switched by the respective relay coil , K21 S3 , K21 S4 , K21 S5 , K21 S6 , K21 S7 , K21 S8 or K22 S2 , K22 S3 , K22 S4 , K22 S5 , K22 S6 , K22 S7 , K22 S8 in the form of make contacts.

Die beiden für die Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes in dem Streckenabschnitt SB2 redundant, insbesondere identisch, vorkonfigurierten Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie jeweils zumindest einen aktiven Betriebsmodus oder einen passiven Betriebsmodus einnehmen können und dass im Falle, dass sich von diesen beiden redundant vorkonfigurierten Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 eine in ihrem aktiven Betriebsmodus und die andere in ihrem passiven Betriebsmodus befindet, Fahrbetriebs-Informationen 12, welche der im aktiven Betriebsmodus befindliche Streckenzentrale RBC21 bereitgestellt werden, von dieser an die im passiven Betriebsmodus befindliche Streckenzentrale RBC22 übervermittelt werden.The two redundant, in particular identical, route control centers RBC21, RBC22 for carrying out the driving operation in the route section SB2 are designed in such a way that they can each assume at least one active operating mode or one passive operating mode and that in the event that these two are redundantly preconfigured Route centers RBC21, RBC22 one is in its active operating mode and the other in its passive operating mode, driving information 12, which is located in the active operating mode route center RBC21 are provided, are transmitted from this to the route control center RBC22 located in the passive operating mode.

Dabei ist eine jeweilige der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21, RBC22 derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie bei der EIN-Stellung der ihr zugeordneten Schalteinrichtung SE21 bzw. SE22 ihren aktiven Betriebsmodus und bei der AUS-Stellung der ihr zugeordneten Schalteinrichtung ihren passiven Betriebsmodus einnimmt.Each of the two routing centers RBC21, RBC22 is designed such that it assumes its active operating mode when the switching device SE21 or SE22 assigned to it is in the ON position and its passive operating mode when the switching device assigned to it is in the OFF position.

Hierzu werden beispielsweise die Stellungen der Schalter S21 bzw. S22 durch die jeweilige Streckenzentrale RBC21 bzw. RBC22 sicher eingelesen.For this purpose, for example, the positions of the switches S21 and S22 are reliably read in by the respective control center RBC21 and RBC22.

Durch das bzw. nach dem Einlesen der Stellung des jeweiligen Schalters S21 bzw. S22 entscheidet die jeweilige Streckenzentrale RBC21 bzw. RBC22, ob sie den aktiven oder den passiven Betriebsmodus einnehmen muss und setzt diese Entscheidung dann um. Beide Streckenzentralen tauschen dann Informationen über ihren jeweiligen Betriebsmodus aus.By or after reading in the position of the respective switch S21 or S22, the respective control center RBC21 or RBC22 decides whether it has to adopt the active or the passive operating mode and then implements this decision. Both routing centers then exchange information about their respective operating mode.

Alternativ zur sicheren Erfassung der Stellung der Schalter S21 und S22 könnte jedoch auch sicher erfasst werden, ob an der jeweiligen Relaisspule A21 bzw. A22 Spannung anliegt oder nicht anliegt, um zu entscheiden, ob der altive oder der passive Betriebsmodus eingenommen werden muss.As an alternative to the reliable detection of the position of the switches S21 and S22, however, it could also be reliably detected whether or not voltage is present at the respective relay coil A21 or A22, in order to decide whether the active or the passive operating mode must be adopted.

Ist der Schalter S21 - wie dargestellt - betätigt und damit geschlossen, so werden die Kontakte K21S2, K21S3, K21S4, K21S5, K21S6, K21S7, K21S8 unter Einwirkung der mit der Spannungsversorgung U21 verbundenen Relaisspule A21 geschlossen und die Streckenzentrale RBC21 nimmt ihren aktiven Betriebsmodus ein.If the switch S21 - as shown - is actuated and thus closed, the contacts K21 S2 , K21 S3 , K21 S4 , K21 S5 , K21 S6 , K21 S7 , K21 S8 are closed under the action of the relay coil A21 connected to the voltage supply U21 and the Route control center RBC21 assumes its active operating mode.

Wäre der Schalter S21 unbetätigt und damit offen, so blieben die Kontakte K21S2, K21S3, K21S4, K21S5, K21S6, K21S7, K21S8 of-fen, da die Relaisspule A21 von der Spannungsversorgung U21 getrennt wäre. Die Streckenzentrale RBC21 nähme dann ihren passiven Betriebsmodus ein.If the switch S21 were not actuated and thus open, the contacts K21 S2 , K21 S3 , K21 S4 , K21 S5 , K21 S6 , K21 S7 , K21 S8 would remain open, since the relay coil A21 is powered by the voltage supply U21 would be separated. The route control center RBC21 would then assume its passive operating mode.

Gezeigt ist, dass der Schalter S22 unbetätigt und damit offen ist. Daher bleiben die Kontakte K22S2, K22S3, K22S4, K22S5, K22S6, K22S7, K22S8 offen, da die Relaisspule A22 von der Spannungsversorgung U22 getrennt ist. Die Streckenzentrale RBC22 hat ihren passiven Betriebsmodus eingenommen.It is shown that the switch S22 is not actuated and is therefore open. The contacts K22 S2 , K22 S3 , K22 S4 , K22 S5 , K22 S6 , K22 S7 , K22 S8 therefore remain open since the relay coil A22 is disconnected from the voltage supply U22. The route control center RBC22 has assumed its passive operating mode.

Die mit RBC21 bezeichnete Funkblockzentrale befindet sich also aktuell in ihrem aktiven Betriebsmodus, in welchem sie die Durchführung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 kontrolliert und sichert - also hinsichtlich der Kontrolle und Sicherung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 aktiv ist. Die mit RBC22 bezeichnete Funkblockzentrale befindet sich aktuell in ihrem passiven Betriebsmodus und ist damit bezüglich der Kontrolle und der Sicherung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 inaktiv.The radio block center designated RBC21 is currently in its active operating mode, in which it controls and secures the implementation of the driving operation in the route area SB2 - ie is active with regard to the control and protection of the driving operation in the route area SB2. The radio block center designated RBC22 is currently in its passive operating mode and is therefore inactive with regard to the control and safeguarding of the driving operation in the route area SB2.

Da sich von den Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC12 in analoger Weise auch eine - nämlich die Streckenzentrale RBC11 - in ihrem aktiven Betriebsmodus und die andere RBC12 in ihrem passiven Betriebsmodus befindet und demnach die Datenübertragungspfade 215 und 225 seitens der Streckenzentrale RBC12 - hier durch gestrichelte Linien verdeutlicht - unterbrochen sind, sendet auch nur die im aktiven Betriebsmodus befindliche Streckenzentrale RBC11 die Informationen ISB12 aus.Since one of the route control centers RBC11, RBC12 is in an analogous manner - namely the route control center RBC11 - in its active operating mode and the other RBC12 in its passive operating mode and therefore the data transmission paths 215 and 225 on the part of the route control center RBC12 - illustrated here by dashed lines - are interrupted, only the track control center RBC11, which is in the active operating mode, sends out the information I SB1 2 .

Gleiches gilt für die Streckenzentralen RBC31, RBC32, wobei die Datenübertragungspfade 217 und 227 seitens der Streckenzentrale RBC32 - hier wiederum durch gestrichelte Linien verdeutlicht - unterbrochen sind, so dass nur die Streckenzentrale RBC31 die Informationen ISB32 aussendet.The same applies to the route control centers RBC31, RBC32, the data transmission paths 217 and 227 being interrupted by the route control center RBC32--again illustrated here by dashed lines--so that only the route control center RBC31 transmits the information I SB3 2 .

Die im aktiven Betriebsmodus befindliche erste Streckenzentrale RBC21 sendet über den anderen Datenübertragungspfad D2 jede der von den aktuell angeschlossenen Streckenelementen OCS, EI, MSC und den benachbarten Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC31, erhaltenen Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiteren Information zumindest bei einer Änderung der jeweiligen Information an die im passiven Betriebsmodus befindliche zweite Streckenzentrale RBC22 weiter.The first route control center RBC21, which is in the active operating mode, sends via the other data transmission path D2 each of the currently connected route elements OCS, EI, MSC and the neighboring route control centers RBC11, RBC31, driving operation information received and further information at least when the respective information changes to the second routing center RBC22 located in the passive operating mode.

Die im passiven Betriebsmodus befindliche zweite Streckenzentrale RBC22 speichert die von der ersten Streckenzentrale RBC21 übermittelten Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiteren Informationen remanent - also wiederanlauffest - in einem Speicher M22. Auch die im aktiven Betriebsmodus befindlich Streckenzentrale verfügt über einen derartigen Speicher M21.The second route control center RBC22, which is in the passive operating mode, stores the driving operation information and other information transmitted by the first route control center RBC21 retentively—that is, restart-proof—in a memory M22. The route control center that is in the active operating mode also has such a memory M21.

Der mit RBC21 bezeichneten Funkblockzentrale ist durch das Vorkonfigurieren bzw. Vorprojektieren bezüglich der mit D212, D213, D214, D215, D216, D217, D218 bezeichneten Datenpfade eine Adresse in Form einer Internetprotokoll-Adresse (kurz IP-Adesse) IPA2 zugewiesen. Der mit RBC21 bezeichneten Funkblockzentrale ist durch das Vorkonfigurieren bezüglich der mit D222, D223, D224, D225, D226, D227, D228 bezeichneten Datenpfade die gleiche Internetprotokoll-Adresse IPA2 zugewiesen.The radio block center designated RBC21 is assigned an address in the form of an internet protocol address (IP address for short) IPA2 by preconfiguration or preprojecting with respect to the data paths designated D212, D213, D214, D215, D216, D217, D218. The radio block center designated RBC21 is assigned the same internet protocol address IPA2 by preconfiguration with regard to the data paths designated D222, D223, D224, D225, D226, D227, D228.

Zum anderen ist der Funkblockzentrale RBC21 durch das Vorkonfigurieren bezüglich des anderen Datenübertragungspfades D2 eine andere Adresse in Form einer Internetprotokoll-Adresse IPA21 zugeordnet. Und der Funkblockzentrale RBC22 ist durch das Vorkonfigurieren bezüglich des anderen Datenübertragungspfades D2 auch eine andere Adresse in Form einer Internetprotokoll-Adresse A22 zugeordnet. Die beiden anderen Adressen IPA21 und IPA22 sind verschieden, um Adresskonflikte zu vermeiden. Die Einstellung der beiden Adressen IPA21 und IPA22 erfolgt jeweils über einen Auswahlschaler A21 bzw. A22 einer jeweiligen der beiden Funkblockzentralen RBC21 bzw. RBC22.On the other hand, a different address in the form of an internet protocol address IPA21 is assigned to the radio block center RBC21 due to the preconfiguration with regard to the other data transmission path D2. And the radio block center RBC22 is also assigned a different address in the form of an Internet protocol address A22 as a result of the preconfiguration with regard to the other data transmission path D2. The other two addresses IPA21 and IPA22 are different to avoid address conflicts. The two addresses IPA21 and IPA22 are each set via a selection switch A21 or A22 of one of the two radio block centers RBC21 or RBC22.

Somit ist auf einfache Weise sichergestellt, dass Eingaben von Restriktionen, beispielsweise Eingaben von Informationen über Langsamfahrstellen, in beiden RBCs identisch sind und nach einem Umschalten der beiden Funkblockzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 müssen die Restriktionen nicht erst neu eingegeben werden.It is thus ensured in a simple manner that entries of restrictions, for example entries of information about speed restrictions, are identical in both RBCs and after a switchover of the two radio block centers RBC21 and RBC22, the restrictions do not have to be re-entered.

Außerdem ist das Fahrzeug T, beziehungsweise auch jedes andere Fahrzeug, welches sich in dem Streckenbereich SB2 befindet, über die Mobilfunkvermittlungszentrale MSC immer nur an einem der beiden Funkblockzentralen aktiv angemeldet, wobei dies sicherungstechnisch sehr vorteilhaft ist.In addition, the vehicle T, or any other vehicle located in the route area SB2, is always actively registered via the mobile radio switching center MSC at only one of the two radio block centers, which is very advantageous in terms of security.

Nach einem Verbindungsaufbau zwischen den beiden Funkblockzentralen RBC21, RBC22, welcher insbesondere nach einem Einschalten der beiden Funkblockzentralen RBC21, RBC22 oder bei nach einer Unterbrechung der Verbindung zwischen den beiden Funkblockzentralen RBC21, RBC22 stattfindet, synchronisiert sich die im passiven Betriebsmodus befindliche Funkblockzentrale RBC22 auf den Stand der Informationen der im aktiven Betriebsmodus befindlichen Funkblockzentrale RBC21.After a connection has been established between the two radio block centers RBC21, RBC22, which takes place in particular after the two radio block centers RBC21, RBC22 have been switched on or after the connection between the two radio block centers RBC21, RBC22 has been interrupted, the radio block center RBC22, which is in the passive operating mode, synchronizes to the status the information from the RBC21 radio block center in the active operating mode.

Beispielsweise löscht die im passiven Betriebsmodus befindliche Funkblockzentralen RBC22 die abgespeicherten Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiteren Informationen und lässt sich von dem im aktiven Betriebsmodus Funkblockzentralen RBC21 die Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiteren Informationen, welche dieser bereitgestellt sind, übersenden; lässt sich also neu "aufrüsten".For example, the radio block center RBC22 in the passive operating mode deletes the stored driving operation information and other information and has the driving operation information and other information provided to it by the radio block center RBC21 in the active operating mode; can therefore be "upgraded" again.

Falls jede der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 der jeweils anderen meldet, dass sie sich im passiven Betriebsmodus befindet oder falls jede der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 der jeweils anderen meldet, dass sie sich im passiven Betriebsmodus befindet, so behält jeder der Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 ihre Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiteren Informationen und es erfolgt keine Synchronisierung neuer, geänderter oder gelöschter Fahrbetriebsinformationen und weiterer Informationen.If each of the two route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 reports to the other that it is in passive operating mode or if each of the two route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 reports to the other that it is in passive operating mode, then each of the route control centers RBC21 and RBC22 retains their driving information and other information and there is no synchronization of new, changed or deleted driving information and other information.

Ein Austausch der als Ganzes mit RBC21 und RBC22 bezeichneten elektronischen Schlüssel, welche für die Funkkommunikation notwendig sind, erfolgt nicht zwischen den Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22. Die beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 sind also beide jederzeit mit der Schlüsselmanagementzentrale KMC verbunden, um die elektronische Schlüssel ES21 bzw. ES22 laden zu können. Alternativ hierzu können die elektronischen Schlüssel aber auch offline, beispielsweise mittels eines USB-Sticks, in die RBCs eingebracht werden.An exchange of the electronic keys, designated as a whole with RBC21 and RBC22, which are used for radio communication are necessary, does not take place between the route control centers RBC21 and RBC22. The two routing centers RBC21 and RBC22 are both connected to the key management center KMC at all times in order to be able to load the electronic keys ES21 and ES22. As an alternative to this, the electronic keys can also be introduced into the RBCs offline, for example using a USB stick.

Analog zu den Streckenzentralen RBC21 und RBC22 werden auch die Streckenzentralen RBC11 und RBC12 bzw. die Streckenzentralen RBC31 und RBC32 paarweise redundant, insbesondere identisch, vorkonfiguriert bzw. vorprojektiert bereitgestellt und betrieben.Similar to the route control centers RBC21 and RBC22, the route control centers RBC11 and RBC12 or the route control centers RBC31 and RBC32 are provided and operated redundantly in pairs, in particular identically, preconfigured or preplanned.

Da beide Streckenzentralen - also RBC 11 und RBC 12; RBC21 und RBC22; RBC31 und RBC32 - jederzeit alle für ihren Streckenbereich relevanten Fahrbetriebsinformationen, insbesondere alle Restriktionsinformationen enthalten, kann innerhalb von wenigen Minuten eine Umschaltung der Betriebsmodi der beiden jeweiligen Streckenzentralen erfolgen und der Fahrbetrieb kann entsprechend schnell wieder aufgenommen werden. Die Aufnahme des Fahrbetriebes nach einem Ausfall einer der ersten Streckenzentralen RBC11, RBC21, RBC31, die sich - wie gezeigt - aktuell im aktiven Betriebsmodus befinden, ist damit weder von Reparaturarbeiten noch von der Konfiguration bzw. Projektierung einer zusätzlich bereitgestellten Streckenzentrale abhängig.Since both route centers - ie RBC 11 and RBC 12; RBC21 and RBC22; RBC31 and RBC32 - contain all driving operation information relevant to their route area at all times, in particular all restriction information, the operating modes of the two respective route control centers can be switched within a few minutes and driving operation can be resumed accordingly quickly. The start of driving operations after a failure of one of the first route control centers RBC11, RBC21, RBC31, which - as shown - are currently in active operating mode, is therefore dependent neither on repair work nor on the configuration or project planning of an additionally provided route control center.

Fällt beispielsweise die Streckenzentrale RBC21 aus, so könne sehr schnell die Schalter S21 und S22 betätigt und damit die Versorgungsleitung L21 unterbrochen und die Versorgungsleitung L22 geschlossen werden. Damit übernimmt die Streckenzentrale RBC22 aktiv die Kontrolle und Sicherung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2. Die Streckenzentrale RBC21, welche hinsichtlich der Kontrolle und Sicherung des Fahrbetriebes im Streckenbereich SB2 nicht mehr aktiv ist, kann ausgeschaltet, repariert und dann wieder eingeschaltet werden und würde sich nach ihrem Einschalten auf den Stand der Informationen der zweiten Streckenzentrale RBC22 synchronisieren.If, for example, the routing center RBC21 fails, the switches S21 and S22 can be actuated very quickly and the supply line L21 can thus be interrupted and the supply line L22 closed. The route control center RBC22 thus actively takes over the control and security of the driving operation in route area SB2. The route control center RBC21, which is no longer active with regard to the control and security of the driving operation in the route area SB2, can be switched off, repaired and then switched on again and would update itself to the status of the information after it was switched on synchronize with the second route control center RBC22.

Die Figur 2 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel A* der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung, welche sich dahingehend von dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel A unterscheidet, dass statt dem einen Datenübertragungskanal D218 bzw. D228 (vgl. Figur 1) nunmehr zwei redundante Datenübertragungskanäle D218a und D218b bzw. D228a und D228b zwischen einer jeweiligen der beiden Streckenzentralen RBC21 bzw. RBC22 und der Mobilfunkvermittlungszentrale MSC vorgesehen sind.the figure 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment A* of the arrangement according to the invention, which differs from the first exemplary embodiment A in that instead of the one data transmission channel D218 or D228 (cf. figure 1 ) Now two redundant data transmission channels D218a and D218b or D228a and D228b are provided between one of the two routing centers RBC21 or RBC22 and the mobile switching center MSC.

Auch hier erfolgt kein Austausch der für die Funkkommunikation notwendigen elektronischen Schlüssel ES21 bzw. ES22.Here, too, there is no exchange of the electronic keys ES21 or ES22 required for radio communication.

Vielmehr ist vorgesehen, dass die mit ES21 bezeichneten elektronischen Schlüssel einerseits über den Datenübertragungspfad D211, eine Diagnoseserviceeinheit DSU21 (in Englisch: Diagnostic Service Unit) und ein Kommunikationsbasissystem CBS21a (in Englisch: Communication Base System) und dem Datenübertragungspfad D218a und andererseits über den Datenübertragungspfad D211, die Diagnoseserviceeinheit DSU21 und ein Kommunikationsbasissystem CBS21b und dem Datenübertragungspfad D218b bereitgestellt bzw. ausgetauscht werden.Rather, it is provided that the electronic keys designated ES21 are transmitted on the one hand via the data transmission path D211, a diagnostic service unit DSU21 (in English: Diagnostic Service Unit) and a communication base system CBS21a (in English: Communication Base System) and the data transmission path D218a and on the other hand via the data transmission path D211 , the diagnostic service unit DSU21 and a communication base system CBS21b and the data transmission path D218b are provided or exchanged.

In gleicher Weise ist vorgesehen, dass die mit ES22 bezeichneten elektronischen Schlüssel einerseits über den Datenübertragungspfad D221, eine Diagnoseserviceeinheit DSU22 und ein Kommunikationsbasissystem CBS22a und dem Datenübertragungspfad D228a und andererseits über den Datenübertragungspfad D221, die Diagnoseserviceeinheit DSU22 und ein Kommunikationsbasissystem KBS22b und dem Datenübertragungspfad D228b bereitgestellt bzw. ausgetauscht werden.In the same way, provision is made for the electronic keys designated ES22 to be made available or available on the one hand via the data transmission path D221, a diagnostic service unit DSU22 and a basic communication system CBS22a and the data transmission path D228a and on the other hand via the data transmission path D221, the diagnostic service unit DSU22 and a basic communication system KBS22b and the data transmission path D228b . be replaced.

Außerdem sind die Datenpfade D218a und D218b über die ... KBS21a bzw. KBS21b mit einem Streckenzentralen-Master RBCM21 verbunden. Die übrigen Datenpfade D212, D213, D214, D215, D216 und D217 sind direkt mit dem Streckenzentralen-Master RBCM21 verbunden.In addition, the data paths D218a and D218b are connected to a routing center master RBCM21 via the ... KBS21a or KBS21b. The remaining data paths D212, D213, D214, D215, D216 and D217 are directly connected to the route center master RBCM21.

In gleicher Weise sind die Datenpfade D228a und D228b über die Kommunikationsbasissysteme CBS22a bzw. CBS22b mit einem Streckenzentralen-Master RBCM22 verbunden. Die übrigen Datenpfade D222, D223, D224, D225, D226 und D227 sind direkt mit dem Streckenzentralen-Master RBCM22 verbunden.In the same way, the data paths D228a and D228b are connected to a routing center master RBCM22 via the communication base systems CBS22a or CBS22b. The remaining data paths D222, D223, D224, D225, D226 and D227 are connected directly to the routing center master RBCM22.
