Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a vehicle, a vehicle control system, a computer program and a computer-readable medium.
- a design-related maximum speed of a vehicle results from the design of the vehicle and the maximum possible performance of its weakest subsystem.
- a subsystem can be, for example, a drive, a vehicle brake or a bogie or chassis.
- the maximum permissible speed of the vehicle can be reduced by a circumstance relating to the current operating status of a subsystem. For example, if increased temperatures occur during the operation of bearings, the drive or components of a vehicle brake, the relevant subsystem can limit the design-related maximum speed to a permissible maximum speed of the vehicle.
- the object of the invention is to provide a low-wear and operationally reliable control of a vehicle's speed.
- This task is solved with a method for controlling a vehicle according to the features of claim 1. Furthermore, this task is solved by a vehicle control according to the features of the independent device claim as well as by a computer program according to the features of claim 14 and by a computer-readable medium according to the features of the independent claim 15.
- a limit speed of the first type and/or a limit speed of the second type is determined for several subsystems of the vehicle.
- a smallest limit speed is selected as a control parameter from a set of limit speeds of the first type and limit speeds of the second type determined in this way.
- a speed of the vehicle is controlled on the basis of the control parameter selected in this way.
- Each of the vehicle subsystems mentioned are functional subunits of the vehicle. These are preferably used to implement the essential vehicle functions.
- a subsystem can concern, for example, an energy supply, an energy conversion, a drive, a vehicle brake, a bogie, room air conditioning or access areas such as doors, tail lifts or loading ramps.
- the functional subsystems can each have components and/or assemblies that are arranged locally distributed in the train.
- each subsystem determines on the basis of measured values, such as a temperature, a pressure, a running speed Stability or oscillations, a limit speed of the first type and/or a limit speed of the second type.
- control parameter based on various limit speeds can be made possible.
- an easily comprehensible and transparent method for determining the control parameter is provided. Errors when determining the control parameters can be easily avoided.
- control of the speed of the vehicle can be provided in this way, adapted to the needs of the subsystems.
- the limit speed of the first type is determined by a subsystem of the vehicle for the purpose of reducing wear.
- the vehicle speed can be adjusted in advance before a speed that affects the safety of the vehicle or a subsystem of the vehicle is reached. For example, if the temperature of the drive or the vehicle brake increases, the speed can be reduced at an early stage without the need for a braking process using a braking device in the vehicle. In addition, this can result in maintenance and repair work be reduced . This means vehicle downtime can be further reduced.
- the limit speeds of the first type and limit speed of the second type determined by the several subsystems are transmitted to a central control device.
- the control device mentioned is set up to store, read, write, transmit and/or manage data.
- the control device can be a computer, a microcontroller or a comparable programmable hardware component.
- the central management of the limit speeds by means of a control device enables simple and cost-effective implementation of the control method. This also enables simplified maintenance and care of the control process.
- a speed of the vehicle is controlled by means of a central control device on the basis of the selected control parameter.
- the aforementioned central control device is to be understood as the previously designated control device. This makes it possible to provide a robust control method.
- a clearly predetermined control parameter can be used for the purpose of control. Control errors due to a large number of predetermined control parameters, as can be the case in particular in the case of a decentralized control, can thus be avoided simply and inexpensively.
- Another advantageous development provides that in the event of a predetermined exceedance of a second type of limit speed specified by a subsystem of the vehicle, this subsystem initiates braking of the vehicle by means of a vehicle brake.
- this subsystem initiates braking of the vehicle by means of a vehicle brake.
- the vehicle can still be prevented from exceeding a maximum permissible speed specified by a subsystem. Consequently, the reliability and fail-safe nature of the control process can be further increased in this way.
- a further advantageous development is proposed in which a first threshold value is determined on the basis of the control parameter. If the first threshold value is exceeded by the actual speed of the vehicle, an acoustic signal is emitted. Alternatively or additionally, if the first threshold value is exceeded by the actual speed of the vehicle, an optical signal is emitted.
- the threshold value mentioned can be an absolute value or a value dependent on the value of the control parameter.
- a predetermined value is added to the value of the control parameter to determine the threshold value.
- the acoustic and/or optical signal can be used to easily signal to the driver, for example, that a permissible maximum speed has been exceeded. The driver can then adapt his driving style to the specifications of the control parameter and control the vehicle speed accordingly. Heavy loads on the vehicle, such as those that occur in particular in the case of emergency braking, can thus be prevented at low cost. Furthermore, this promotes a forward-looking and efficient driving style.
- a second threshold value is determined based on the control parameter.
- the threshold value mentioned is a threshold value of the type described above.
- the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value.
- a driving lock is provided.
- the driving lock mentioned is to be understood as meaning that a traction setpoint, which affects the drive of the vehicle, is specified with the value zero. Acceleration of the vehicle by its drive to a speed which is greater than the second threshold value mentioned is prevented in this way. This also makes it possible to reduce the speed of the vehicle with little wear.
- a limit value is determined based on the control parameter.
- the limit value can be an absolute value or a relative value dependent on the value of the control parameter, which is added to the value of the control parameter.
- the limit value is greater than the first threshold value.
- the limit value is particularly preferably greater than the second threshold value.
- an advantageous embodiment variant provides that the limit value is determined on the basis of a control parameter selected as a limit speed of the second type. Braking the vehicle using the vehicle brake can thus be reduced to those cases in which damage to the vehicle is to be expected. Furthermore, this makes it possible to provide efficient control of the speed of the vehicle.
- an advantageous development provides that, in addition to a control parameter formed by a smallest limit speed of the first type, a smallest limit speed of the second type is also taken into account for the purpose of controlling the speed of the vehicle. In this way, the operational reliability of the control can be improved.
- the vehicle speed is controlled on the basis of a limit speed of the first type selected as a control parameter of the second type
- no braking by means of the vehicle brake is initially provided.
- the speed of the vehicle can continue to increase despite a driving lock provided as an example. In rare cases, this can lead to the actual speed of the vehicle potentially exceeding a safety-critical speed without braking being provided.
- the limit speed of the second type taken into account in this way can be used by a driver or an automated driving control and braking control as an additional specification for driving the vehicle.
- the method according to the invention can be carried out using the vehicle control system according to the invention.
- the vehicle control according to the invention has a control device which is set up to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the control device is in particular the control device already described in connection with the method according to the invention.
- the method for controlling the speed can be implemented inexpensively and reliably.
- a vehicle is proposed which has the vehicle control according to the invention. It is also proposed that this vehicle has several subsystems. In particular, this vehicle is a rail-bound vehicle with the vehicle control according to the invention. In this way, wear and tear on the vehicle's subsystems can be reduced in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the operational safety of the vehicle can be increased.
- a computer program which comprises commands which, when the computer program is executed by the control device, cause the vehicle control according to the invention to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the control device mentioned is in particular the control device already described above.
- the invention also provides a computer-readable medium.
- This has instructions which, when executed by a control device, cause the vehicle control according to the invention to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the control device mentioned is in particular the control device already described above.
- the computer-readable medium can be, for example, a CD-ROM, a DVD, a USB or flash memory or a non-physical medium such as a data stream and/or a data carrier signal.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of an example of a method for controlling a speed of a vehicle
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a vehicle which has a vehicle control by means of which the example of the method illustrated in FIG. 1 can be carried out.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in a schematic representation an example of a method 100 for controlling a speed of a vehicle 10.
- the vehicle 10 and associated subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 are shown schematically by way of example in FIG.
- the vehicle 10 has various subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16, each subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 relating to a functional subunit of the vehicle 10.
- the method 100 is illustrated by way of example using a vehicle brake 12, a bogie 13, a current collector 14 and a drive 16 as subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 of the vehicle 10.
- FIG. 2 illustrates in a schematic representation an example of a method 100 for controlling a speed of a vehicle 10.
- the vehicle 10 and associated subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 are shown schematically by way of example in FIG.
- the vehicle 10 has various subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16, each subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 relating to a functional subunit of the vehicle 10.
- the method 100 is illustrated by way of example using a vehicle brake 12, a bogie 13, a current collector 14 and a drive 16 as subsystems 12, 13,
- an associated recommended speed and/or an associated maximum speed is determined 102 by the subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 mentioned.
- the maximum speed is determined.
- Speed is determined 102 by the respective subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 for the purpose of preventing damage to this subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16. For example, if a temperature of the vehicle brake 12, the bogie 13 or the drive 16 reaches a critical value, a maximum speed will be specified by the corresponding subsystem 12, 13, 16 in order to prevent a further increase in temperature and associated damage or danger. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the bogie 13 is caused to vibrate and thus running stability is impaired. In order to prevent a possible derailment of the vehicle 10 caused by this, a maximum speed is then specified by this subsystem 13.
- the recommended speed is determined 102 by a respective subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 for the purpose of reducing wear. If a subsystem 12, 13, 16, for example, records a temperature increase which, if the driving style remains unchanged, will foreseeably lead to a critical temperature value of the vehicle brake 12, parts of the bogie 13 or the drive 16 being reached, a recommended speed of this can be set before this critical temperature value is reached respective subsystem 12, 13, 16 are specified in order to prevent a further increase in temperature. Furthermore, it is conceivable that an oscillation frequency of the current collector 14 approaches a natural frequency in a foreseeable manner.
- a target speed can be specified before a critical oscillation frequency is reached, so that the current collector 14 is not set into oscillation at all.
- a driving style is made possible in which a wear reserve of the subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 is retained.
- a wear reserve of the vehicle brake 12 in particular can be preserved.
- a smallest speed is selected as a control parameter 106. It is conceivable that individual subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16, depending on their operating status, have both a reference speed and a maximum speed or only one of the speeds mentioned or none at all of a design-related maximum speed of the respective subsystem 12, 13, 14. 16 determine different speed 102 .
- the subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16 of the vehicle 10 in the example of the method 100 described here transmit the determined 102 speeds to a central control device 18 of the vehicle 10. Furthermore, in the present example of the method 100, the speed of the vehicle 10 is controlled 108 and/or monitored by means of the control device 18 on the basis of the 106 control parameter selected in the aforementioned manner.
- a first threshold value S 1 and a second threshold value S2 are determined 110, 112 on the basis of the control parameter.
- the first threshold value S 1 is determined by adding a predetermined value to the value of the control parameter 110.
- the second threshold value S2 is determined 112 in the same way, but in such a way that it is greater than the first threshold value S1.
- a limit value G is determined 118 based on the control parameter.
- a distinction is made as to whether the control parameter was selected 106 based on a target speed or a maximum speed.
- the limit value G is determined 118 solely on the basis of the control parameter.
- the limit value becomes G determines 118 by adding a predetermined value to the value of the control parameter.
- the limit value G determined in this way is greater than the first threshold value S 1 and greater than the second threshold value S2.
- the determination 118 of the limit value G is based on a smallest maximum speed specified by the subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16.
- the limit value G in the present example of the method 100 is determined 118 by adding the predetermined value and the value of the smallest maximum speed specified by the subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16. In the present example of method 100, the limit value G determined in this way is greater than the first threshold value S 1 and greater than the second threshold value S2.
- the vehicle speed is controlled 108 by means of the control device 18 in accordance with the method 100 described in connection with FIG. 1, for example in the manner set out below.
- an acoustic and/or an optical signal is output 114 to a vehicle driver (not shown in detail).
- the vehicle driver is informed, for example, about the value of the control parameter or a type of speed to be aimed for. It is also conceivable that the vehicle driver can be issued 114 with instructions for the purpose of controlling 108 the vehicle speed. The vehicle driver can then take appropriate measures to reduce the vehicle speed 108. If the measures taken by the vehicle driver have no effect or the vehicle driver does not take any measures, a driving lock is imposed if the second threshold value S2 is exceeded by the actual speed I of the vehicle 10. give 116 . Using the driving lock, the traction setpoint of the drive 16 is set to zero. In this way, the vehicle driver is, for example, prevented from using the drive 16 to accelerate the speed of the vehicle 10 beyond a value of the control parameter.
- the vehicle 10 is actively braked 120 by means of the vehicle brake 12.
- the example of the method 100 described in connection with FIG. 1 for the purpose of controlling the vehicle speed 108 also provides that, in addition to the control device 18, the vehicle 10 is braked by means of the Vehicle brake 12 is requested 122 by that subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 directly from vehicle brake 12, which has specified the lowest maximum speed. In this way, a particularly safe method 100 for controlling the vehicle speed is made possible, since a maximum permissible speed specified by a subsystem 12, 13, 14, 16 is monitored by two instances.
- the vehicle 10 is designed as a rail-bound vehicle and has several subsystems 12, 13, 14, 16.
- the vehicle 10 has a vehicle control 20.
- This vehicle control 20 in turn has a control device 18 which is set up to carry out the method 100 described in connection with FIG. 1.
