  • Typical route and train control systems are for example interlocking systems, radio-block-centers or similar systems.
  • Traffic management systems comprise human machine interfaces for operating route and train control systems by a human operator.
  • the route and train control system receives commands from the traffic management system concerning regular operation as well as concerning safety critical operations.

  • the operator workstation comprises at least one basic integrity indication component with safety level SIL0 for indicating information with a basic integrity on the display.
  • An indication server is provided comprising a safe state indication component with safety level SIL>0, in particular SIL4, for indicating safety-related information concerning the state of elements of the route and train control system on the display of the operator workstation, wherein the safe state indication component is functionally independent of the operator workstation.
  • a safe channel is provided connecting the safe state indication server and the display for safe transmission of safety-related information about the state of elements of the route train control system.
  • the basic integrity indication components and the safe state indication component are software components, i.e. encapsulated building blocks of software.

  • This embodiment is advantageous in cases where existing route and train control system (for example from different suppliers) shall be controlled, since no further functions have to be integrated in the route and train control system.
  • Control centers are known e.g. from DB "Betriebswin” or “Steuerdog” respectively and handle the tasks of controlling, securing and dispositioning of railway operations.
  • the indication server is integrated in a remote computer center (remote from the display). This allows the usage of thinclients for the operator workstation (to reduce the amount of needed energy, noise and space in the control center).
  • the remote computer center can be part of the control center.
  • the indication server is procedure-protected, i.e. the necessary safety integrity level is achieved by a procedure that, on the one hand, integrates the human user (operator) and, on the other hand, is controlled by a component of the route and train control system.
  • Common industrial computer can be used as indication server.
  • the indication server can be a composite fail-safety server.
  • the indication server is a multi-channel server having a 2002 or 2003 architecture.

  • the safe channel is routed through the operator workstation.
  • no further computer is required for transmission of the safety-related information.
  • state data are transmitted and processed in the workstation leading to an overall safety integrity SIL>0 for the workstation itself
  • the present invention uses the workstation only as a "grey channel" which is secured by a procedure leading to no additional safety integrity needs for the workstation itself. This reduces the development costs.

  • a preferred variant provides that the displayed indication data are read back, in particular by generating pixmap data.
  • the safe state indication component generates a first checksum of the indication data
  • the browser generates a second checksum of the read back data and transmits the second checksum to the safe state indication component via the safe channel
  • the safe state indication component compares the first checksum and the second checksum.
  • the checksum comparison is carried out remote from the operator workstation to separate the safety related comparison from the SIL0 operator workstation.
