Abstract

A vehicle assembly (VB) comprises at least one separate vehicle (EF) which can be identified individually. The configuration (AKON) of a vehicle assembly (VBx) currently observed is determined and checked for conformity with relevant train-announcement data sets (VM). If there is conformity with precisely one train-announcement data set, this set is allocated to the vehicle assembly (VBx). If several or no data sets are in conformity, the train-announcement data set (VM4) to be allocated to the vehicle assembly (VBx) is determined by identifying the separate vehicle (EF4).

Dazu können Vormeldedatensätze vom Ort der ursprünglichen Fahrzeugver¬ bandsbildung über die Stationen, die der Fahrzeugverband auf seinem Weg zum Rangierort durchläuft, weitergegeben werden oder in einer vorgeordneten Station ermittelt werden.

Eine we¬ sentliche Voraussetzung für eine korrekte Zerlegung und Ver- bandsneubildung besteht u. a. nun darin, dem jeweils aktuell einlaufenden Fahrzeugverband aus der Vielzahl von Vormelde¬ datensätzen denjenigen Datensatz zuzuordnen, der tatsächlich die Konfiguration des Fahrzeugverbandes repräsentiert.Locomotive), a sub-group of free running wagons and the smallest unit to be handled consists of a single vehicle (wagon).

Zur gattungsartigen Identifizierung einzelner Schwappwagen ist es aus der DE-Al-30 36 472 bekannt, einen Vergleich des Ist-Regelspiels mit dem Normal-Regelspiel einer Gleisbremse durchzuführen. Mit dieser Methode ist zwar grundsätzlich eine Erkennung von Wagen, die ein Schwappverhalten zeigen, ög- lieh; eine individuelle Identifizierung eines bestimmten Wagens oder Wagenverbandes ist jedoch nicht möglich. Die DE-Al-29 31 085 beschreibt eine Einrichtung zum Feststel¬ len der Achszahl von nicht mit einem wirksamen Kennungsgeber ausgerüsteten Fahrzeugen in einem Verband mit weiteren, mit wirksamen Kennungsgebern ausgerüsteten Fahrzeugen. Die Be¬ stimmung der Achszahl eines Fahrzeugverbandes ist ein erstes wesentliches Kriterium zur Identifizierung eines Fahrzeugver¬ bandes. Für sich allein erlaubt dieses Verfahren jedoch nur eine eingeschränkte Identifizierung, so daß ein erhebliches Restrisiko einer Fehlidentifizierung bestehen bleibt. Fehli¬ dentifizierten Verbänden kann jedoch ein unzutreffender Vor¬ meldedatensatz zugeordnet werden, der dann eine inkorrekte Zerlegung verursacht . Eine dann notwendige Korrektur ist mit erheblichem Kosten- und Zeitaufwand verbunden.For the generic identification of individual sloshing wagons, it is known from DE-Al-30 36 472 to carry out a comparison of the actual control game with the normal control game of a track brake. With this method, detection of wagons which show sloshing behavior is fundamentally possible; however, an individual identification of a specific wagon or wagon association is not possible. DE-Al-29 31 085 describes a device for determining the number of axles of vehicles not equipped with an effective identifier in a group with other vehicles equipped with effective identifiers.

Aus der DD-Al-229 657 ist ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Fahrzeuganzahl, der Achsabstände, der Einzelfahrzeuglängen und der Gesamtlänge eines Fahrzeugverbandes bekannt. Dabei werden mittels zweier Gleisschaltgeräte, die in einem klei- neren Abstand als dem kleinsten Achsabstand eines Drehge¬ stells angeordnet sind, aus den mittleren Achsgeschwin¬ digkeiten und den Zeitabständen zwischen dem Passieren der Gleisschaltgeräte die Achsabstände bestimmt. Die so ermit¬ telten Achsabstände werden zur Fahrzeugtypbestimmung mit vorgegebenen typspezifischen Referenzwerten verglichen.From DD-Al-229 657 a method for determining the number of vehicles, the center distances, the individual vehicle lengths and the total length of a vehicle group is known. The center distances are determined by means of two track switching devices, which are arranged at a smaller distance than the smallest center distance of a bogie, from the average axis speeds and the time intervals between passing the track switching devices. The center distances determined in this way are compared with predetermined type-specific reference values for determining the vehicle type.
Aus der EP-A2-0 433 756 ist ein System zur Kontrolle und Überwachung von Güterwagen bekannt, wobei jeder einzelne Gü¬ terwagen mit einem individuellen Identifizierungskennzeichen ausgestattet ist. Dieses System erlaubt zwar eine eindeutige Identifizierung der kleinsten Untereinheit (Einzelfahrzeug) und damit eine sehr hohe Identifizierungswahrscheinlichkeit, jedoch ist die Ausrüstung aller Fahrzeuge eines bestehenden Wagenparks mit geeigneten individuellen Identifizierungskenn- zeichen unter wirtschaftlichen Aspekten nicht vertretbar und auch nicht schlagartig möglich. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher in der Bereitstellung eines Verfahrens zum Überprüfen von Vormeldedatensätzen, das hinsichtlich seiner ZuordnungsSicherheit von in Frage kommen- den Vormeldedaten zu dem jeweils betrachteten Fahrzeugverband erheblich verbessert und mit einer geringen Anzahl von indi¬ viduell identifizierbaren Einzelfahrzeugen praktikabel ist, insbesondere während einer Einführungs- und Umrüstungsphase auf individuelle Identifizierungskennzeichen oder im Fall häufigen Versagens anderer geeigneter Identifizierungsverfah¬ ren. Das Verfahren soll außerdem eine Kontrolle der Vormelde¬ datensätze erlauben.A system for checking and monitoring freight wagons is known from EP-A2-0 433 756, each individual freight wagon being equipped with an individual identifier. Although this system allows a clear identification of the smallest sub-unit (single vehicle) and thus a very high probability of identification, equipping all vehicles in an existing vehicle fleet with suitable individual identification marks is not justifiable from an economic point of view and is also not possible suddenly. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for checking pre-registration data records, which considerably improves the reliability of assignment of pre-registration data in question to the vehicle association under consideration and is practicable with a small number of individually identifiable individual vehicles, in particular during an introductory and retrofitting phase to individual identification marks or in the event of frequent failure of other suitable identification methods. The method should also allow the pre-registration data records to be checked.

- bei dem die Konfiguration eines aktuell beobachteten Fahr¬ zeugverbandes ermittelt und mit der jeweiligen Konfiguration gemäß in Frage kommender Vormeldedatensätze auf Übereinstim¬ mung geprüft wird, wobeiin which the configuration of a vehicle group currently being observed is determined and checked for compliance with the respective configuration in accordance with the pre-registration data records in question, wherein
-- bei Übereinstimmung mit genau einem Vormeldedatensatz die¬ ser dem beobachteten Fahrzeugverband zugeordnet und -- bei fehlender Übereinstimmung eine Fehlermeldung generiert wird,- if there is agreement with exactly one pre-registration data record, this is assigned to the observed vehicle group and - if there is no agreement, an error message is generated
- bei dem bei mehrfacher oder bei fehlender Übereinstimmung der Vormeldedatensatz dem beobachteten Fahrzeugverband zuge¬ ordnet wird, der das individuell indentifizierte Einzelfahr¬ zeug umfaßt, und - bei dem eine Fehlermeldung generiert wird, wenn der auf¬ grund genau einer Übereinstimmung zugeordnete Vormeldedaten¬ satz das individuell identifizierte Einzelfahrzeug nicht um¬ faßt.- in which, in the event of multiple matches or if there is no match, the pre-registration data record is assigned to the observed vehicle group comprising the individually identified individual vehicle, and - in which an error message is generated if the pre-registration data record assigned to exactly one match does individually identified individual vehicle is not included.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens be¬ steht darin, daß die ermittelte Konfiguration des aktuell be- obachteten Fahrzeugverbandes durch die zusätzliche Identifi¬ zierung zumindest eines Einzelfahrzeuges des Fahrzeugverbands sowohl zur Kontrolle und/oder rückwirkender Korrektur bei bereits zugeordnetem Vormeldedatensatz als auch zur Ent- Scheidung bei zwei- oder mehrdeutigen Zuordnungsmöglichkeiten dient. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt damit eine schrittweise Einführung einer individuellen Identifizierung, wobei bereits ein geringer Ausrüstungsgrad eine erhebliche Steigerung der Sicherheit der Identifizierung eines Fahrzeug- Verbandes erlaubt. Er erlaubt auch die Einführung von Verfah¬ ren zur Identifizierung von Einzelfahrzeugen, deren typische Fehlerquote eine alleinige Anwendung ausschließt. Die Einzel¬ fahrzeuge sind vorzugsweise mit individuellen Identifizie¬ rungskennzeichen ausgestattet und automatisch identifizier- bar.A major advantage of the method according to the invention is that the configuration determined for the currently the vehicle association under observation serves by the additional identification of at least one individual vehicle of the vehicle association both for checking and / or retrospectively correcting an already assigned registration data record and for making a decision in the case of ambiguous or ambiguous assignment options. The method according to the invention thus allows a step-by-step introduction of an individual identification, even a low level of equipment allowing a considerable increase in the security of the identification of a vehicle association. It also allows the introduction of methods for the identification of individual vehicles, the typical error rate of which precludes use alone. The individual vehicles are preferably equipped with individual identification marks and can be identified automatically.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Möglichkeit der Konfigurationser¬ mittlung besteht darin, daß die Konfiguration hinsichtlich der Achsanzahl und der Achsabstände ermittelt wird. Die dar- aus ableitbaren Erkennungskriterien lassen sich nach einer vorteilhaf en Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dadurch weiter verbessern, daß zusätzlich die Wagenreihung bestimmt und be¬ nutzt wird.A particularly advantageous possibility of the configuration determination consists in that the configuration is determined with regard to the number of axles and the axle spacings. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the recognition criteria that can be derived from this can be further improved by additionally determining and using the carriage order.
Eine besonders robuste und zuverlässige Identifizierung der Einzelfahrzeuge ist nach einer vorteilhaften Fortbildung der Erfindung dadurch möglich, daß als fahrzeugspezifisches Iden¬ tifizierungskennzeichen ein Oberflächenwellenreflektor ver¬ wendet wird, der für sich aus dem Aufsatz "DER INTELLIGENTE GUTERWAGEN", R. Grolms und M. Jung in Transport- und Umschlag¬ technik, 54-1994 bekannt ist. Ein alternatives Iden¬ tifizierungsprinzip ist die Videoidentifizierung der individuellen Wagennummern, wobei vorteilhafterweise bereits eine Identifizierbarkeit einer z. B. wegen Verschmutzung der Wagennummern) vergleichsweise geringen Anzahl von Einzel¬ fahrzeugen ausreichend ist. Dadurch sind bereits (an sich be- kannte) Video-Identifizierungsverfahren mit Fehlerquoten von ca 50 % anwendbar, die bei alleiniger Anwendung zur sicheren Identifizierung eines Fahrzeugverbandes ungeeignet wären.A particularly robust and reliable identification of the individual vehicles is possible, according to an advantageous further development of the invention, in that a surface wave reflector is used as the vehicle-specific identification identifier, which for its part is based on the essay "DER INTELLIGENTE GUTERWAGEN", R.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Vielzahl von Fahrzeugverbänden VB1, VB2, VB3, VB4 bis VBn, deren Konfigurationen zuvor verbandsweise bestimmt und jeweils in Form von VormeldedatensätzenFIG. 1 shows a large number of vehicle groups VB1, VB2, VB3, VB4 to VBn, the configurations of which have previously been determined in groups and each in the form of pre-registration data records
VM1,VM2,VM3,VM4 bis VMn repräsentiert werden. Die Konfigura¬ tionen können bei der ursprünglichen Bildung der Fahrzeugver¬ bände erfaßt und gemäß dem Weg der Fahrzeugverbände von Sta¬ tion zu Station weitergereicht werden oder beispielsweise in einer Erfassungsstation, die einer Rangieranlage RA vorgela¬ gert ist, aufgenommen werden. Jeder Fahrzeugverband VB1 bis VBn enthält an beliebiger Stelle zumindest ein Einzelfahrzeug EF1,EF2,EF3,EF4 bis EFn, das durch ein individuelles Identi¬ fizierungskennzeichen IK1 bis IKn individuell identifizierbar ist. Das Identifizierungskennzeichen (z. B. IK1) enthältVM1, VM2, VM3, VM4 to VMn are represented. The configurations can be recorded when the vehicle groups are originally formed and forwarded from station to station in accordance with the route of the vehicle groups, or can be recorded, for example, in a recording station which is upstream of a shunting system RA. Each vehicle group VB1 to VBn contains at least one individual vehicle EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 to EFn at any point, which can be individually identified by an individual identification identifier IK1 to IKn. Contains the identifier (e.g. IK1)
Angaben über den Wagentyp und die Wagennummer, so daß jedes Einzelfahrzeug EF eindeutig spezifiziert ist. Zusätzlich kann das Identifizierungskennzeichen weitere Angaben z. B. über den Inhalt, den Startort und das Ziel des Einzelfahrzeugs (z.B. EF1) oder seines Fahrzeugverbandes (z.B. VB1) enthal¬ ten.Information about the wagon type and the wagon number, so that each individual vehicle EF is clearly specified. In addition, the identifier can further information such. B. about the content, the starting point and the destination of the individual vehicle (e.g. EF1) or its vehicle association (e.g. VB1).
Die Vormeldedatensätze VM1 bis VMn enthalten Angaben zum Achsabstand AA. Diese Angaben sind in Figur 1 vereinfacht als Maßzahlen angegeben, die den jeweiligen relativen Abstand benachbarter Achsen angeben. Beispielsweise beträgt der Ab- stand der ersten Achsen All, A12 des ersten Fahrzeugs Fll im Fahrzeugverband VBl "3" und der Abstand der letzten Achse A12 des ersten Fahrzeugs zur ersten Achse A13 des folgenden Fahr¬ zeugs F12 "2". In entsprechender Weise sind die übrigen Achs- abstände für den Fahrzeugverband VBl und für alle weiteren Fahrzeugverbände bestimmt. Zusätzlich werden die Wagenenden WE (Wagenreihung) in Fahrtrichtung A ermittelt und im jewei¬ ligen Satz der Vormeldedaten angegeben. Dies ist vereinfacht in Figur 1 dadurch dargestellt, daß jeweils die Achsabstände zwischen Achsen unterstrichen sind, die wagenendseitige Ach¬ sen sind. Demgemäß ist z. B. der Achsabstand "2" zwischen den Achsen A12, A13 des Fahrzeugverbandes VBl unterstrichen. Al¬ ternativ können bei einer fortlaufenden Achsnumerierung auch jeweils die Achsen für sich gekennzeichnet sein, die wa- genendsei ige Achsen sind. Außerdem umfassen die Vormeldeda¬ tensätze VMn jeweils die Gesamtanzahl Σ der Achsen des jewei¬ ligen Fahrzeugverbandes. Die Achskonfigurationen werden vorab beim Vorbeilauf der Fahrzeugverbände an einer vorgeordneten Aufnahmeeinheit AE z. B. gemäß der DD-Al-229 657 ermittelt, wie beim Fahrzeugverband VMn angedeutet.The pre-registration data records VM1 to VMn contain information on the center distance AA. This information is given in simplified form in FIG. 1 as dimension figures which indicate the relative distance between adjacent axes. For example, the stood the first axes All, A12 of the first vehicle F1 in the vehicle association VBL 1 "3" and the distance between the last axis A12 of the first vehicle and the first axis A13 of the following vehicle F12 "2". The remaining center distances are determined in a corresponding manner for the vehicle association VBl and for all other vehicle associations. In addition, the wagon ends WE (wagon sequence) in the direction of travel A are determined and specified in the respective record of the pre-registration data. This is shown in simplified form in FIG. 1 in that the center distances between axes are underlined, which are axles on the end of the carriage. Accordingly, e.g. B. the center distance "2" between the axes A12, A13 of the vehicle association VBL underlined. Alternatively, in the case of a continuous numbering of the axes, the axes that are wagon-end axes can also be identified individually. In addition, the pre-registration data records VMn each include the total number Σ of the axles of the respective vehicle association. The axle configurations are checked in advance as the vehicle groups pass by an upstream recording unit AE. B. determined according to DD-Al-229 657, as indicated by the vehicle association VMn.

Die Auswerteeinheit ermittelt bei einem aktuell betrachteten Fahrzeugverband VBx in entsprechender Weise die Achskon¬ figuration, indem jeweils die Gesamtanzahl der Achsen, die Achsabstände AA und die jeweiligen wagenendseitigen Achsen bestimmt werden. Dabei möge sich die in Figur 1 mit AKON be¬ zeichnete aktuelle Konfiguration 3 151.32141 3 (Gesamtzahl Σ: 14) ergeben. Außerdem ist eine Erkennungseinrichtung EK für die individuellen Identifizierungskennzeichen IK vorgesehen.The pre-registration data VMn are transmitted to the shunting system RA, which has an evaluation and comparison unit AV. The evaluation unit determines the axle configuration in a corresponding manner for a vehicle association VBx currently being considered, in that the total number of axles, the axle spacings AA and the respective axles on the end of the carriage are determined. The current configuration 3 151.32141 3 (total number Σ: 14), designated AKON in FIG. 1, may result. In addition, a recognition device EK is provided for the individual identification marks IK.
Wie Figur 2 zeigt, wird in der Vergleichseinrichtung AV (Figur 1) anschließend die aktuelle Konfiguration AKON je- weils mit in Frage kommenden Vormeldedaten VM verglichen. Da¬ bei ergibt sich zwar im Vergleich der Gesamtzahl Σ der Achsen eine Übereinstimmung (jeweils 14 Achsen) zwischen der aktu¬ ellen Konfiguration AKON des Fahrzeugverbandes VBx und dem ersten Satz von Vormeldedaten VM1, jedoch unterscheidet sich die aktuelle Konfiguration von dem Vormeldedatensatz VM1 hin- sichtlich der Achsabstände und der Wagenenden (Wagenreihung) erheblich. Die Vormeldedaten VMl werden daher als für den Fahrzeugverband VBx unzutreffend verworfen. Auch der (in Fi¬ gur 2 nicht explizit dargestellte) Vergleich der Vormeldeda¬ ten VMn mit der aktuellen Konfiguration ergibt schon hin- sichtlich der Gesamtzahl (12/14) der Achsen eine erhebliche Abweichung. In Figur 2 sind nur noch die beiden Vormeldeda¬ tensätze VM2 und VM4 dargestellt, die beide hinsichtlich der Gesamtachsanzahl, der Achsabstände und der Wagenenden eine vollständige Übereinstimmung mit der aktuellen Konfiguration AKON ergeben. Sofern nur die Konfiguration des aktuell beob¬ achteten Fahrzeugverbandes zur Verfügung stände, müßte nun von Hand vor Ort festgestellt werden, um welchen Fahrzeug¬ verband VM2 oder VM4 es sich tatsächlich handelt. Durch zu¬ sätzliche Auswertung des Identifizierungskennzeicheήs IKx des ersten Wagens EF des beobachteten Fahrzeugverbandes VBx wird nicht nur der erste Wagen individuell identifiziert, sondern läßt sich auch auf den gesamten Fahrzeugverband VBx rückzu¬ schließen. Das Einzelfahrzeug EF4 (Figur 1) läßt nämlich auf¬ grund der eindeutig identifizierten Wagennummer und Wagenpo- sition den Schluß zu, daß es sich nur um den Fahrzeugverband VB4 gemäß dem Vormeldedatensatz VM4 handeln kann. Nur dieser Fahrzeugverband VM4 umfaßt nämlich an seiner ersten Stelle das Einzelfahrzeug EF4, das nicht nur hinsichtlich seiner Achskonfiguration, sondern auch seiner Wagennummer dem ersten Fahrzeug EFx des Fahrzeugverbandes VBx entspricht. Zur indi¬ viduellen Identifizierung können an sich bekannte Oberflä- chenwellenreflektoren als Identifizierungskennzeichen IK ver¬ wendet werden. Alternativ kann eine Videoerkennung zur opti¬ schen Abtastung und Identifizierung der individuellen Wagen- nummern vorgesehen werden. Bei einer nachfolgend zur weiteren Erläuterung angenommenen alternativen Fallgestaltung sollen die Vormeldedatensätze die Vormeldedaten VM4 nicht umfassen. In diesem Fall wäre gemäß dem im Zusammenhang mit Figur 2 beschriebenen VergleichAs FIG. 2 shows, the current configuration AKON is then compared in each case in the comparison device AV (FIG. 1) with pre-registration data VM in question. This does result in a comparison of the total number Σ of axes a correspondence (14 axes in each case) between the current configuration AKON of the vehicle association VBx and the first set of pre-registration data VM1, but the current configuration differs considerably from the pre-registration data record VM1 with regard to the center distances and the wagon ends (wagon row). The pre-registration data VM1 are therefore rejected as being incorrect for the vehicle association VBx. Even the comparison of the pre-registration data VMn with the current configuration (not explicitly shown in FIG. 2) already results in a considerable deviation with regard to the total number (12/14) of the axes. In FIG. 2 only the two pre-registration data sets VM2 and VM4 are shown, both of which result in a complete agreement with the current configuration AKON with regard to the total number of axles, the axle spacings and the car ends. If only the configuration of the vehicle group currently being observed was available, it would now have to be determined by hand on site which vehicle group VM2 or VM4 is actually involved. By additionally evaluating the identification mark IKx of the first car EF of the observed vehicle group VBx, not only is the first car individually identified, but the entire vehicle group VBx can also be deduced. The individual vehicle EF4 (FIG. 1), on the basis of the uniquely identified car number and car position, allows the conclusion that it can only be the vehicle association VB4 according to the pre-registration data record VM4. Only this vehicle group VM4 comprises in its first place the single vehicle EF4, which not only corresponds to the first vehicle EFx of the vehicle group VBx in terms of its axle configuration but also its car number. For individual identification, known surface wave reflectors can be used as identifiers IK. Alternatively, video recognition can be provided for optically scanning and identifying the individual car numbers. In an alternative case design adopted below for further explanation, the pre-registration data records should not include the pre-registration data VM4. In this case it would be according to the comparison described in connection with FIG. 2
(mangels Alternative) der Vormeldedatensatz VM2 dem Fahrzeug¬ verband VBx zugeordnet worden, der in der Achskonfiguration und der Gesamtachsanzahl der aktuellen Konfiguration AKON entspricht. Bei der Überprüfung des Identifizierungskennzei- chens IKx wäre jedoch aufgefallen, daß offenbar in dem Fahr¬ zeugverband VBx nicht das Einzelfahrzeug EF2, sondern ein an¬ deres Einzelfahrzeug EFx identifiziert worden ist. Demgemäß würde eine Fehlermeldung FEH2 generiert werden, die auf eine Fehlidentifizierung aufmerksam macht und dadurch eine nach- folgende Fehlbehandlung des Fahrzeugverbandes VBx verhindert.(for lack of an alternative) the pre-registration data record VM2 has been assigned to the vehicle association VBx, which corresponds to the current configuration AKON in the axle configuration and the total number of axles. When checking the identification mark IKx, however, it would have been noticed that apparently not the single vehicle EF2, but a different single vehicle EFx, was identified in the vehicle association VBx. Accordingly, an error message FEH2 would be generated, which draws attention to incorrect identification and thereby prevents subsequent incorrect handling of the vehicle association VBx.
Die zuvor beschriebenen Zusammenhänge sind in Figur 3 in ei¬ nem Ablaufdiagramm nochmals schematisch zusammengefaßt. In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt wird die jeweils aktuell er- mittelte Konfiguration AKON des aktuellen FahrzeugverbandesThe relationships described above are again schematically summarized in FIG. 3 in a flow chart. In a first procedural step, the currently determined configuration AKON of the current vehicle association becomes
VBx (dargestellt als AKON(VBx) ) mit in Frage kommenden, vorab gemeldeten Vormeldedaten VMl bis VMn verglichen. Ergibt die¬ ser Vergleich genau eine Übereinstimmung (1), wird dem Fahr¬ zeugverband VBx zunächst der entsprechende Vormeldedatensatz VMi zugeordnet (AKON(VBx) = VMi) . Wird dagegen überhaupt keine (0) Übereinstimmung oder eine mehrfache (n) Überein¬ stimmung [(AKON(VBx)) ≠ VMI bis VMn oder AKON(VBx) = VM2 und VM4] festgestellt, wird die dem beobachteten Fahrzeugverband VBx zuzuordnende Vormeldung durch individuelle Identifizie- rung eines Einzelfahrzeuges bestimmt. Wäre eine Zuordnung nicht möglich, weil in keinem der in Frage kommenden Vormel¬ dedatensätze VM2 und VM4 das identifizierte Einzelfahrzeug EFx enthalten ist, wird ebenso wie bei fehlender Übereinstim¬ mung (0) eine Fehlermeldung FEH1 generiert. Gemäß der in Fi- gur 2 gezeigten Fallgestaltung wird dem Fahrzeugverband VBx der Vormeldedatensatz VM4 zugeordnet. Bei eindeutiger Über- einstimmung wird zusätzlich geprüft, ob das gemäß dem Identi¬ fizierungskennzeichen IKx in dem Fahrzeugverband VBx zu er¬ wartende Einzelfahrzeug EFi auch tatsächlich im Fahrzeugver¬ band VBx enthalten ist. Ist dies der Fall (J) , kann mit einer überraschend hohen Sicherheit auf eine korrekte Identifizie¬ rung des aktuellen Fahrzeugverbandes und auf eine entspre¬ chend korrekte Zuordnung der Vormeldedaten geschlossen werden (OK) . Andernfalls (N) wird eine Fehlermeldung FEH2 ausgege¬ ben, aufgrund derer eine FehlZerlegung des Fahrzeugverbandes VBx verhindert oder nachfolgend aufgespürt und rückwirkend korrigiert werden kann. VBx (shown as AKON (VBx)) is compared with the pre-registered pre-registration data VM1 to VMn in question. If this comparison gives exactly one match (1), the vehicle association VBx is first assigned the corresponding pre-registration data record VMi (AKON (VBx) = VMi). If, on the other hand, no (0) match or a multiple match [(AKON (VBx)) ≠ VMI to VMn or AKON (VBx) = VM2 and VM4] is found, the pre-notification assigned to the observed vehicle association VBx is determined by individual Identification of a single vehicle determined. If an assignment were not possible because none of the pre-registration data sets VM2 and VM4 in question contains the identified individual vehicle EFx, an error message FEH1 is generated, just as in the event of a lack of agreement (0). According to the case design shown in FIG. 2, the pre-registration data record VM4 is assigned to the vehicle association VBx. If there is a clear Attention is additionally checked whether the single vehicle EFi to be expected in accordance with the identification identifier IKx in the vehicle association VBx is actually contained in the vehicle association VBx. If this is the case (J), it can be concluded with a surprisingly high degree of certainty that the current vehicle association has been correctly identified and that the pre-registration data has been assigned correctly (OK). Otherwise (N) an error message FEH2 is output, on the basis of which incorrect dismantling of the vehicle association VBx can be prevented or subsequently detected and corrected retrospectively.
