Abstract

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: method of performing shunting operations includes transmitting to a locomotive information on the readiness of a shunting route and displaying said information on the locomotive display panel, taking into account distance from the shunting rolling stock to an obstacle and direction of movement. The distance and direction are determined using GPS sensors installed on the locomotive, a locomotive computer, a receiver which continuously tracks the position of a portable tracking device, and given coordinates of a group of carriages.

EFFECT: high efficiency of shunting operations.

Description

The invention relates to railway equipment, namely to railway automation and telemechanics, and can be used to regulate the movement of trains.

A known method of auto-adjustment of speed [Track lock and auto-adjustment / N.F. Kotlyarenko [et al.] - M .: Transport, 1983. - 408 p.]. The method is intended only to maintain program speed and does not allow to determine the optimal speed of the train.

A known method of regulating shunting movements [Kazakov A.A. Station Automation and Telemechanics Systems / A.A. Kazakov, V.D. Bubnov, E.A. Cossacks. - M .: Transport, 1990. - 432 p. (P. 46)], which consists in the fact that the locomotive receives information about the readiness of the shunting route due to the indications of shunting traffic lights

The disadvantages of the method are the presence of outdoor traffic lights, the lack of indicators for the length and complexity of the route, the complexity of the process of regulating shunting movements.

This technical solution is selected as a prototype.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of shunting due to optimization of management.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the method of controlling shunting movements without shunting traffic lights, which consists in the fact that the locomotive receives information about the readiness of the shunting route, according to the invention, information about the readiness of the route is displayed on the locomotive display taking into account the distance from the shunting train to the obstacle and the direction of movement which are determined using the GPS system without shunting traffic lights.

In FIG. 1 shows the track development of a station with a dead end 1, locomotive 2, on which a receiver 3 and a GPS sensor 4 (beacon) are mounted, the first group of wagons 5, a mobile sensor 6 (portable compiler sensor), turnout 7, first shunting route 8 (dashed arrow) ), the second group of wagons 9, the pick-up route 10.

In FIG. 2-4 are additionally provided for: a second shunting route 11, a third group of cars 12, a fourth group of cars 13.

The method is implemented as follows. At a dead end 1 (Fig. 1) there is a locomotive 2 with a receiver 3 and a sensor 4 and the first group of cars 5 with a portable sensor 6 (which is located at the originator, the originator is not shown in Fig. 1-4). The portable beacon 6 is continuously turned on and the locomotive computer (not shown in FIGS. 1-4) due to the receiver 3 continuously monitors its location, and therefore the distance to the obstacle. The distance to the obstacle is determined by the computer by subtracting the coordinates of the mobile sensor 6 from the coordinate of the border of the second group of cars 9 (fixed at the time they were put on the way). Taking into account the direction of travel and the distance to the obstacle, a shunting route is formed and, when ready, is displayed on the locomotive (navigator) the dotted arrow shows the route 8 of the shunting train (locomotive 2 and the first group of cars 5). This is the initial state of the rolling stock.

Shunting work consists in the fact that part of the wagons from the first group 5 must be attached to the second group of wagons 9, which are on the way 10, and the remaining wagons should be returned to a dead end 1. For this, the driver moves along the first route 8 (Fig. 1), stops the composition of the second group of cars 9 (Fig. 2). The compiler interlocks the first 5 and second 9 groups of wagons, proceeds with a beacon to the point of uncoupling of the first group of wagons 5, disengages them (Fig. 3), forming a third group of wagons 12 to return to the dead end 1 and the fourth group of wagons 14 to leave on the way. On the locomotive display, taking into account the distance to the obstacle (dead end 1) and the direction of movement, a second shunting route 11 is established. When it is ready, the train starts moving. As a result, the locomotive with the third group of cars 12 is at an impasse, and the fourth group of cars 13 is on the pick-and-drop track 10 (Fig. 4). Arrow 7 is designed to separate the path from the dead end.

The proposed method optimizes the process of managing shunting movements, reduces capital costs and the cost of repairs and maintenance, which increases the efficiency of shunting.

Claims (1)

The method of shunting without shunting traffic, which consists in the fact that the locomotive receives information about the readiness of the shunting route, characterized in that information about the readiness of the route is displayed on the locomotive display taking into account the distance from the shunting train to the obstacle and the direction of movement, which is determined by means of on the locomotive of a GPS sensor, a locomotive computer, a receiver continuously tracking the location of a portable beacon, and a given coordinate of a group of wagons.
