Abstract

The device has elements to visualize axle counter sections. These are axle counter section blocks, with part sections, which charge several signal boxes. The blocks have associated axle counter points (4), which are axle counter points (3) for the part axle counter sections. The blocks correspond to tracks (2) between two stations and/or to continuous non-stop station tracks (1a,b). The device has a monitor for graphic presentation of a safe signal.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Achszählerabschnitte werden zwischen Achszählpunkten gebildet, um den Belegungszustand der einzelnen Abschnitte zu ermitteln. Das Dokument DE 197 06 021 A1 offenbart ein derartiges System. Anhand des Belegungszustandes werden innerhalb eines Stellwerkes Entscheidungen über die Steuerung der Gleisanlage, beispielsweise bezüglich Signal- und Weichenstellungen, getroffen. Die Entscheidungsfindung und die Umsetzung in entsprechende Stellsignale erfolgen zunehmend automatisch. Derartig ferngesteuerte Betriebszentralen benötigen kein Bedienpersonal. Aus Sicherheitsgründen muss garantiert sein, dass die im Stellwerk beziehungsweise in der Betriebsleitzentrale zu verarbeitenden Informationen über den Belegungszustand von Achszählerabschnitten zu jedem Zeitpunkt korrekt und vollständig sind. Es kann jedoch vorkommen, dass ein Achszähler ausfällt oder fehlerhafte Signale liefert. Fehlzählungen, elektromagnetische Störungen, Sicherheitsreaktionen auf bestimmte Arten von Rangiervorgängen oder andere Einflussgrößen können die Funktionsfähigkeit des Stellwerkes und insbesondere der ferngesteuerten Betriebszentrale erheblich beeinträchtigen. Jegliche Art von Störungen führen ohne Zeitverzögerung zum Auslösen bestimmter Sicherheitsreaktionen. Alle auf der Strecke befindlichen Züge werden angewiesen zu stoppen, oder die Geschwindigkeit zu reduzieren, wenn nicht absolut sicher ist, dass ein vorausliegender Gleisabschnitt frei ist. Bei durchgehenden Bahnhofsgleisen kann die Fahrerlaubnis so lange nicht erteilt werden, wie nicht klar ist, ob ein vorausfahrender Zug den Bahnhof verlassen hat. Insbesondere bei sehr hohen Zugdichten, beispielsweise im S-Bahn-Verkehr, kommt es dadurch sehr häufig zu sicherheitsbedingten Verspätungen. Die Zugverspätungen könnten noch zunehmen, wenn die Strecken von Betriebszentralen aus ferngesteuert werden und nicht genügend Personal für eine augenscheinliche Prüfung des Belegungszustandes des Gleises zur Verfügung steht.The invention relates to a Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung according to the Preamble of claim 1. Achszählerabschnitte be between Achszählpunkten formed to the occupancy state of each Identify sections. The document DE 197 06 021 A1 discloses such a system. Based on the occupancy state are within a signal box decisions about the control of the track system, for example, with regard to signal and switch positions taken. The Decision making and implementation in appropriate control signals are increasingly automatic. Such remotely controlled operation centers do not need any operating personnel. For security reasons must be guaranteed be that in the signal box or in the control center to processing information about the occupancy state of Axle counter sections are correct and complete at all times. It However, it may happen that an axle counter fails or faulty Signals. Miscounting, electromagnetic interference, Safety reactions to certain types of maneuvering or other influencing factors can be the functionality of the interlocking and especially the remote-controlled operation center considerably affect. Any kind of interference will result in no time delay to trigger certain safety reactions. All on the track located trains are instructed to stop, or the Reduce speed, if not absolutely sure that one preceding track section is free. At continuous railway tracks the license can not be issued as long as it is not clear if a preceding train has left the station. Especially at very high train densities, for example, in the S-Bahn traffic, it comes through very often for safety-related delays. The train delays could still increase if the routes from operations centers be remotely controlled and not enough staff for one apparent check of the condition of the track to the track Available.

Um das Verspätungsproblem im Falle einer Achszählerstörung zu lösen, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, eine automatische Fehlerkorrektureinrichtung zu entwickeln. Eine solche Fehlerkorrektureinrichtung müsste in der Lage sein, möglichst viele Ursachen für Fehlfunktionen, wie beispielsweise elektromagnetische Störungen, oder rangierbedingte Störungen, zweifelsfrei zu dedektieren. Nachteilig bei der automatischen Fehlerkorrektur ist neben der Komplexität der Algorithmen vor allem die Erkenntnis, dass wichtige Funktionen nicht signaltechnisch realisierbar sind.To solve the delay problem in case of axle counter failure, has already been proposed, an automatic error correcting device to develop. Such an error correcting device would have to be able be as many causes of malfunction as possible electromagnetic disturbances, or disturbances due to shunting, no doubt to dedicate. The disadvantage of automatic error correction is in addition the complexity of the algorithms especially the realization that important Functions are not signal-technically feasible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung der oben genannten Gattung anzugeben, die sich durch geringe Kosten sowohl hinsichtlich der Entwicklung, als auch der Projektierung beziehungsweise Realisierung auszeichnet, wobei eine möglichst hohe Zuverlässigkeit anzustreben ist.The invention is based on the object, a Gleisfreimeldeeinrichtung specify the above type, which is characterized by low cost both in terms of development and project planning or realization, with the highest possible Reliability is to be striven for.

Die Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die Bildung übergeordneter Block-Achszählerabschnitte ergibt sich eine Verbesserung der betrieblichen Übersicht im Falle einer Achszählerstörung. Der Fahrdienstleiter ist nicht auf die Beobachtung der Teil-Achszählerabschnitte, deren Belegungszustand vom Stellwerk verarbeitet wird, angewiesen, um einen Gefahrenzustand zu erkennen. Wenn der Block-Achszählerabschnitt als frei erkannt wurde, kann mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit davon ausgegangen werden, dass die untergeordneten Teil-Achszählerabschnitte, wie vorgesehen, durchfahren wurden, auch wenn ein Achszählpunkt eines Teil-Achszählerabschnittes keine oder fehlerhafte Signale an das Stellwerk übermittelt hat. Eine Störung oder eine Unterbrechung des ordnungsgemäßen Betriebes lässt sich somit in vielen Fällen vermeiden. Letztlich wird Verspätungen wirkungsvoller vorgebeugt.The object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. By forming parent block axle counter sections results an improvement of the operational overview in case of Achszählerstörung. The dispatcher is not on the observation of Part axle counter sections, their occupancy state of the signal box is instructed to recognize a hazardous condition. If the block axis counter section was recognized as free, can with very high probability can be assumed that the Subordinate sub-axle counter sections, as intended, drive through even if an axle counting point of a partial axle counter section has transmitted no or faulty signals to the interlocking. A Disruption or interruption of proper operation thus avoiding in many cases. Ultimately, delays more effectively prevented.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 sind den Block-Achszählerabschnitten eigene Achszählpunkte zugeordnet, das heißt, es werden keine für die Teil-Achszählerabschnitte vorgesehenen Achszählpunkte quasi doppelt genutzt. Eine Doppelnutzung wäre jedoch auch möglich, wobei in einer weiteren Ausbaustufe die Anzahl der den Block-Achszählerabschnitt bildenden Teil-Achszählerabschnitte variabel gehandhabt werden könnte. Letzteres hätte den Vorteil, dass insbesondere bei akuter Havariegefahr oder bei dem Ausfall mehrerer Achszählpunkte von Teil-Achszählerabschnitten eine schneller Beurteilung der Gefahrensituation möglich wäre. Allerdings bietet sich die Bildung der Block-Achszählerabschnitte auf der Basis zugeordneter Achszählpunkte zumindest für die Einführung bei der Deutschen Bundesbahn AG an, da teilweise bereits derzeit nicht genutzte Achszählpunkte vorhanden sind.According to claim 2, the block axle counter sections are unique Achszählpunkte assigned, that is, there are none for the Teil-axle counter sections provided axle counts virtually used twice. A double use, however, would also be possible, in another Expansion stage, the number of the partial axle counter sections forming the block axle counter section could be handled variably. The latter would have the advantage that in particular in acute Havariegefahr or in the Failure of several axle counting points of partial axle counter sections one faster assessment of the dangerous situation would be possible. However, offers the formation of the block axle counter sections associated with the base Axle counting points at least for the introduction at the German Bundesbahn AG, partly already unused Axes counting points are available.

Vorzugsweise werden gemäß Anspruch 3 Streckenanfang und Streckenende der Block-Achszählerabschnitte von den topografischen Gegebenheiten bestimmt. Zur Überwachung der Zugfolge im Bahnhofsbereich sind dazu Block-Achszählerabschnitte über jedes durchgehende Bahnhofsgleis vorgesehen. Auch bei Verzweigungen innerhalb des Bahnhofsbereiches kann somit eindeutig beurteilt werden, ob das Schienenfahrzeug den Bahnhof - auf welchem Verzweigungsweg auch immer - verlassen hat, da dann der Zählpunkt am Ausfahrende des Block-Achszählerabschnittes ein Überfahren signalisiert hat.Preferably, according to claim 3 track start and end of the route the block axle counter sections from the topographic conditions certainly. To monitor the train sequence in the station area are to Block axle counter sections over each through-the-rail track intended. Also with branches within the station area Thus, it can be clearly assessed whether the rail vehicle the Station - on whatever branching way - has left, since then the point of delivery at the exit end of the block axle counter section Overrun signaled.

Gemäß Anspruch 4 sind die Block-Achszählerabschnitte als sogenanntes sicheres Meldebild grafisch dargestellt. Vorzugsweise werden die Block-Achszählerabschnitte zusätzlich zu den schon vorhandenen Teil-Achszählerabschnitten, Bahnhofsgleisen und Weichenabschnitten am Monitor sicher angezeigt. Im Falle einer Achszählerstörung kann der Fahrdienstleiter anhand der Anzeige der übergeordneten Block-Achszählerabschnitte feststellen, ob der Zug den gesamten Block beziehungsweise das gesamte durchgehende Bahnhofsgleis geräumt hat, ohne auf eine augenscheinliche Prüfung der Vollständigkeit des Zuges durch Personal vor Ort angewiesen zu sein.According to claim 4, the block axle counter sections are so-called secure message picture displayed graphically. Preferably, the block axle counter sections become in addition to the already existing partial axle counter sections, Railway tracks and turnouts at the Monitor displayed safely. In the case of an axle counter failure, the Dispatcher based on the display of the parent block axle counter sections Determine if the train is the entire block or has cleared the entire continuous railway siding, without looking for the completeness of the train to be instructed by local staff.

Darüber hinaus sind zusätzliche Zählpunkte 4 für jedes durchgehende Gleis 1a, 1b vor der Bahnhofseinfahrt und hinter der Bahnhofsausfahrt angeordnet. Diese zusätzlichen Zählpunkte 4 werden nicht für Weichen- oder Signalstellzwecke, das heißt zur Signalgebung an das Stellwerk, sondern zur Visualisierung eines sicheren Meldebildes verwendet. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen verschiedene Meldebilder in vereinfachter Form. Der Fahrdienstleiter kann anhand der im Meldebild beispielsweise durch die Farbgebung oder durch Blinkeffekte den Aktivierungs- oder Deaktivierungszustand signalisierenden zusätzlichen Zählpunkt 4 erkennen, ob ein Schienenfahrzeug den Bahnhofsbereich verlassen hat. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, auf welchen der innerhalb der Bahnhofstopografie möglichen Gleisen 1a, 1b, 2 das Schienenfahrzeug gefahren ist.The station system illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises two continuous stations Tracks 1a and 1b and several branched tracks 2. At all Branching points are close to associated turnouts Counting points 3 provided for signaling to at least one interlocking. In addition, additional metering points are 4 for each continuous track 1a, 1b in front of the station entrance and behind the station exit arranged. These additional metering points 4 will not be used for turnouts. or Signalstellzwecke, that is to signal to the interlocking, but used to visualize a secure message picture. The Figures 1 and 2 show various message images in a simplified form. The dispatcher can, for example, by in the message picture by the coloring or by blinking the activation or Detect deactivation state signaling additional counting point 4, whether a rail vehicle has left the station area. It plays it does not matter which one within the station's topography possible tracks 1a, 1b, 2 the rail vehicle is driven.
