Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum koordinierten Betrieb von Fahrzeugtüren schienen- oder spurgebundener Fahrzeuge und korrespondierenden Bahnsteigleitsystemen, insbesondere Bahnsteigtüren, die jeweils durch mindestens ein zentrales Steuergerät für ein Fahrzeug und mindestens ein zentrales Steuergerät für einen Bahnsteig gesteuert werden, für Fahrzeugsysteme mit funkgestützter Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtung. Ein derartiges Türensteuerungssystem, bei dem die Türen des Fahrzeuges und die Bahnsteigtüren am jeweils nächsten Bahnsteig durch bidirektionale Übertragung der Türenverfügbarkeitsdaten koordiniert werden, ist aus der DE-C-196 25 193 bekannt.The invention relates to a method and a device for the coordinated operation of vehicle doors rail- or track-bound vehicles and corresponding platform guidance systems, especially platform screen doors, which are each controlled by at least one central control unit for a vehicle and at least one central control unit for a platform, for vehicle systems with radio-supported vehicle controller. Such a door control system, in which the doors of the vehicle and the platform doors are coordinated at the respectively next platform by bidirectional transmission of the door availability data is from the DE-C-196 25 193 known.

Es ist bekannt, die Türen von schienengebundenen Fahrzeugen so lange geschlossen zu halten, bis das Fahrzeug zum Stillstand gekommen ist, und dann erst die Türen durch eine zentrale Steuereinheit öffnen zu lassen oder eine Öffnung freizugeben. Bei modernen Zugsystemen, insbesondere solchen mit hohem Fahrgastaufkommen und/oder einem Betrieb mit wenig oder sogar gar keinem Zug- und Bahnsteigpersonal (automatischer Zugbetrieb), ist es darüber hinaus bereits üblich geworden, die Fahrgäste auf dem Bahnsteig vor einem einfahrenden Zug durch Bahnsteigtüren zu schützen. Am Bahnsteigrand befindet sich dann eine mit Türen versehene Wand. Gefahren durch den einfahrenden Zug sowie Belästigungen der Fahrgäste durch den entstehenden Luftzug, Geräusche etc. können so ausgeschlossen werden. Bekannt ist auch das Vorsehen von "immateriellen" Bahnsteigtüren durch spezielle Kennzeichnung einer Linie im Abstand von der Bahnsteigkante, die nicht übertreten werden darf, sowie besonders beleuchtete oder anderweitig gekennzeichnete Bereiche, an denen nach dem Halt des Fahrzeugs die Fahrzeugtüren erreichbar sind.It is known to keep the doors of rail-bound vehicles closed until the vehicle has come to a standstill, and then to first open the doors by a central control unit or to release an opening. In modern train systems, especially those with a high passenger volume and / or an operation with little or no train and platform personnel (automatic train operation), it has also become common practice to protect the passengers on the platform in front of an entering train through platform screen doors , At the platform then there is a wall with doors. Dangers due to the incoming train as well as the annoyance of the passengers due to the draft, noise etc. can be excluded. Also known is the provision of "intangible" Platform doors by special marking of a line at a distance from the edge of the platform which must not be crossed, and specially illuminated or otherwise marked areas where the vehicle doors can be reached after the vehicle has stopped.

Es sind verschiedene Lösungen bekannt, um flexible Bahnsteigtürensysteme bereit zu halten und so eine Anpassung an die Toleranzen der Türabstände oder an wechselnde Türabstände verschiedener Fahrzeugverbände vornehmen zu können. Aus EP 1 386 813 A1 ist beispielsweise ein Bahnsteigtürsystem bekannt mit einer Reihe von Bahnsteigtüren. Mit einem Öffnungskommando vom Zug aus können die korrespondierenden Bahnsteigtüren geöffnet werden, indem zugleich mit dem Öffnungskommando ein Zugkennungssignal übertragen wird, mit dem die Auswahl der zu öffnenden Bahnsteigtüren und deren Öffnungsbreite bestimmt wird.There are various solutions known to keep flexible platform door systems ready and to make an adjustment to the tolerances of Türabstände or changing door distances of various vehicle associations. Out EP 1 386 813 A1 For example, a platform door system is known with a series of platform screen doors. With an opening command from the train, the corresponding platform screen doors can be opened by simultaneously transmitting a train detection signal with the opening command, with which the selection of the platform screen doors to be opened and their opening width is determined.

Außerdem sind Systeme bekannt, die ein zielgenaues Halten des Fahrzeugs ermöglichen sollen und die ein Öffnen der Fahrzeugtüren sowie der Bahnsteigtüren nur erlauben, wenn die zielgenaue Position erreicht wurde. Entsprechende Kontrollgeräte an jeder Tür arbeiten entweder mit Lichtschranken ( JP 01311951 A ), Ultraschallübertragung ( JP 07112663 A ), Induktionsschleifen ( JP 2000071975 A ) oder Funk ( JP 54047207 A , JP 2002362367 A ).In addition, systems are known which are intended to enable precise positioning of the vehicle and which only allow the vehicle doors and the platform screen doors to be opened when the precise position has been reached. Appropriate control devices on each door work either with light barriers ( JP 01311951 A ), Ultrasound transmission ( JP 07112663 A ), Induction loops ( JP 2000071975 A ) or radio ( JP 54047207 A . JP 2002362367 A ).

Bekannt sind auch bereits Systeme, bei denen über die Übertragungsstrecke zwischen jeweils einer Fahrzeugtür und einer Bahnsteigtür der intakte oder gestörte Zustand einer Tür vom Fahrzeug zum Bahnsteig und umgekehrt übertragen werden kann ( JP 2001328531 A ). Die Fahrgäste an der jeweils gestörten Tür können so bereits vorher auf den Zustand der Tür hingewiesen werden, die an der korrespondierenden Tür unmittelbar nach dem Halt des Fahrzeugs ebenfalls. So können unnötiges Warten vor einer defekten Türanlage und unnötige Betätigungs- und Entriegelungsversuche, die immer mit der Gefahr der Beschädigung einer Tür verbunden sind, vermieden werden. Wünschenswert wäre allerdings eine Information bereits eine gewisse Zeit vor dem Eintreffen des Zuges, um so die Fahrgäste bereits gezielt an eine andere Tür lenken zu können.Systems are also already known in which the intact or disturbed state of a door can be transmitted from the vehicle to the platform and vice versa via the transmission link between in each case one vehicle door and one platform door ( JP 2001328531 A ). The passengers at the respectively disturbed door can thus already be informed beforehand of the state of the door, which immediately after at the corresponding door the stop of the vehicle as well. Thus, unnecessary waiting for a faulty door system and unnecessary attempts and unlocking attempts, which are always associated with the risk of damaging a door, can be avoided. However, information would be desirable a certain amount of time before the arrival of the train in order to be able to steer the passengers directly to another door.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bisher bekannten Fahrzeug-/Bahnsteigtür-Systeme bezüglich ihrer Komfortabilität und Flexibilität entscheidend weiterzuentwickeln, wobei frühzeitig sowohl den Fahrgästen an Bord des Zuges als auch am Bahnsteig Informationen bezüglich der Verfügbarkeit der Türen angeboten werden sollen.The object of the invention is to further develop the previously known vehicle / platform door systems in terms of their comfort and flexibility, with early on both the passengers on board the train and on the platform information regarding the availability of the doors should be offered.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 8. Zweckgemäße Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claims 1 and 8. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Danach werden die von den jeweiligen Steuergeräten erfasste Türverfügbarkeit des Fahrzeugs und die Verfügbarkeit der Elemente des korrespondierenden Bahnsteigleitsystems vor dem Halt am jeweils nächsten Bahnsteig bidirektional über einen funkgestützten Übertragungskanal über größere Entfernungen zwischen Fahrzeug und Bahnsteig übertragen, in den Steuergeräten aufbereitet und den Fahrgast-Informationssystemen im Fahrzeug und am Bahnsteig übermittelt.Thereafter, the detected by the respective control devices door availability of the vehicle and the availability of the elements of the corresponding platform control system before stopping at the next platform bidirectional transmitted over a radio-based transmission channel over greater distances between the vehicle and platform, processed in the control units and the passenger information systems in Vehicle and transmitted at the platform.

In bevorzugter Weise ist vorgesehen, dass - sofern bereits vorhanden - zur Übertragung der Übertragungskanal zwischen einer zugseitigen und einer streckenseitigen Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtung mitbenutzt wird.In a preferred manner, it is provided that, if already present, the transmission channel is shared between a train-side and a track-side vehicle control device for transmission.

Statt auf Bahnsteigtüren kann sich die Vorausmeldung auch auf andere Fahrgastleitsysteme richten, bei denen zum Beispiel auf dem Bahnsteig an den Bereichen einer Tür des nächst einfahrenden Zuges eine optische Kennzeichnung durch im Bahnsteig eingelassene Leuchtmittel (LED-Leisten) vorgesehen ist oder eine Beleuchtung des entsprechenden Bahnsteigrandbereiches von oben, Ampeln über den Türbereichen etc. Eine nicht verfügbare Fahrzeugtür könnte dann durch spezielle Farbgebung (rot) der Beleuchtung und/oder Blinken angezeigt werden.Instead of on platform screen doors, the advance notification can also be directed to other passenger guidance systems, in which, for example, on the platform at the areas of a door of the next incoming train optical identification by sunken in the platform lamps (LED strips) is provided or illumination of the corresponding platform area from above, traffic lights over the door areas, etc. An unavailable vehicle door could then be indicated by special coloration (red) of the illumination and / or flashing.

Durch die rechtzeitige, gegenseitige Information über eventuell defekte Fahrzeug- oder Bahnsteigtüren beziehungsweise Bahnsteigleitsysteme ist es möglich, auch bei personallosem Betrieb den Fahrbetrieb aufrechtzuerhalten, da sich die Fahrgäste wegen der rechtzeitigen Fahrgastinformation frühzeitig umorientieren können und so kaum erhöhte Aufenthaltszeiten an den Bahnhöfen auftreten. Die Fahrgäste werden außerdem davon abgehalten, nicht öffnende Türen manuell entriegeln zu wollen.Due to the timely, mutual information on any defective vehicle or platform doors or platform control systems, it is possible to maintain the driving even in unpowered operation, since the passengers can reorient early because of the timely passenger information and so hardly increased residence times at the stations occur. Passengers are also prevented from manually unlocking non-opening doors.

Unterschiedliche zugkonfigurationen können rechtzeitig angekündigt werden, so dass flexible Bahnsteigtürsysteme oder flexible Bahnsteigleitsysteme bereits lange vor Ankunft des Zuges entsprechend vorbereitet werden können und die Fahrgäste frühzeitig beispielsweise nur an die Bahnsteigtüren gelenkt werden, die später auch nach dem Eintreffen des Zuges geöffnet werden.Different train configurations can be announced in time, so that flexible platform door systems or flexible platform guidance systems can be prepared well before the train arrives and passengers are directed early, for example, only to the platform screen doors, which are later opened even after the train arrives.

Bei größeren Defekten, zum Beispiel wenn alle Türen eines Wagens betroffen sind, lässt sich ein automatischer, reduzierter Zugbetrieb aufrechterhalten, indem neben der Sperrung der Bahnsteigtüren in diesem Bereich durch eine automatisch abgerufene Ansage auf den geschlossenen Wagen hingewiesen wird.For larger defects, for example, when all the doors of a car are affected, an automatic, reduced Zugbetrieb can be maintained by noting in addition to the blocking of the platform screen doors in this area by an automatically retrieved announcement on the closed car.

Die Vorausmeldung kann überdies an Transporteinrichtungen im Vorfeld des Bahnsteigs weitergegeben werde, so an die Bahnhofshalle, an Rolltreppen und an Zubringerbusse. Die Vorausmeldung kann auch personenbezogen sein durch Mitteilung auf Handys, PDA oder SmartCards.The advance notification may also be forwarded to transport facilities in the run-up to the platform, such as the station concourse, escalators and shuttle buses. The advance notice can also be personal by message on mobile phones, PDA or SmartCards.

Die Vorausmeldung kann neben der Information über die verfügbaren Türen weitere zugspezifische beziehungsweise türspezifische Merkmale beinhalten, unter anderem die zughöhe über der Bahnsteigkante, so dass - gegebenenfalls durch automatisch abgerufene akustische Ansage - auf Besonderheiten beim Ein- und Ausstieg hingewiesen werden kann.In addition to the information about the available doors, the advance notification can contain further train-specific or door-specific features, including the train height above the platform edge, so that - if necessary by automatically retrieved acoustic announcement - special features when entering and exiting can be pointed out.

Weitere Fahrgasthinweise, wie bevorzugt zu benutzende Türen für Fahrräder, Kinderwagen, Rollstühle oder Reisegruppen, können rechtzeitig erfolgen. Erforderliche Einstieghilfen (zum Beispiel Rampen für Rollstuhlfahrer) können frühzeitig in Position gebracht werden. Der Zugang zu den Fahrzeugtüren, die zu einem Bordrestaurant oder Bordbistro führen, kann durch automatisch abgerufene Ansage oder anders ebenso besonders gekennzeichnet werden wie der Zugang zu verschiedenen Reiseklassen (1. Klasse, VIP-Wagen).Other passenger information, such as preferred to use doors for bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs or travel groups, can be timely. Required access aids (for example ramps for wheelchair users) can be positioned early. Access to the vehicle doors that lead to an on-board restaurant or on-board bistro may be indicated by an automatically retrieved announcement or otherwise as well as access to various travel classes (1st class, VIP car).

Die Vorausinformation eröffnet auch die Möglichkeit, die Türen bei bestimmten Ereignissen und Gelegenheiten selektiv zu steuern, um so Ein- und Ausstiegsvorgänge räumlich und/oder zeitlich zu separieren, zum Beispiel um den Passagierwechsel zu beschleunigen. Die zentralen Türsteuergeräte können dabei auch Informationen verwerten, die von der zentralen Betriebsleittechnik kommen, zum Beispiel Informationen über ein zeitweise zu erwartendes besonders hohes Fahrgastaufkommen an zentralen Veranstaltungen. Wenn nur Personal ein- oder aussteigt, besteht die Möglichkeit, nur eine einzelne Tür zu öffnen und entsprechende Fahrgasthinweise automatisch abzurufen.The advance information also provides the ability to selectively control the doors for certain events and occasions, so as to separate entry and exit processes spatially and / or temporally, for example, to speed up the passenger change. The central door control units can also utilize information coming from the central operating control system, for example information about a temporarily expected particularly high passenger volume at central events. If only staff enters or exits, it is possible to open only a single door and automatically retrieve appropriate passenger information.

Die individuelle Türöffnung/-schließung wird zusätzlich in der bereits bekannten Weise vor Ort gehandhabt, das heißt nach dem Halt des Zuges durch Einrichtungen an den Türen selbst, mit denen Türöffnungs- oder -schließkommandos und weitere Informationen übertragen werden, wie die aktuelle Türgeschwindigkeit, Einklemmen von Gegenständen oder Fahrgästen und andere aktuelle Fehlerzustände. Hier werden die bekannten Medien wie Infrarottechnik, Transponder oder Datenfunk genutzt.The individual door opening / closing is additionally handled locally in the manner already known, that is to say after the train has been stopped by means on the doors themselves, with which door opening or closing commands and other information are transmitted, such as the current door speed, jamming of objects or passengers and other current fault conditions. Here, the known media such as infrared technology, transponder or radio data transmission are used.

Eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens setzt voraus, dass die zentralen Steuergeräte für die Türen beziehungsweise die Elemente eines entsprechenden Bahnsteigleitsystems jeweils geeignet sind, Daten über den Zustand der Türen oder der Elemente des Bahnsteigleitsystems zu verarbeiten und die Daten bidirektional über einen funkgestützten Übertragungskanal über größere Entfernungen zwischen dem Fahrzeug und dem jeweils nächsten Bahnsteig auszutauschen.A device for carrying out the method according to the invention presupposes that the central control devices for the doors or the elements of a corresponding platform guidance system are respectively suitable for processing data on the state of the doors or the elements of the platform guidance system and the data bidirectionally over a radio-controlled transmission channel over larger ones To exchange distances between the vehicle and the nearest platform.

Der Übertragungskanal muss dazu bidirektional ausgelegt sein. Die Türsteuergeräte sind außerdem mit entsprechenden Fahrgastinformationssystemen verbunden.The transmission channel must be designed to be bidirectional. The door control units are also connected to appropriate passenger information systems.

In bevorzugter Weise ist vorgesehen, dass die zentralen Steuergeräte für die Türen beziehungsweise die Elemente eines entsprechenden Bahnsteigleitsystems jeweils mit einer zugseitigen und einer streckenseitigen Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtung verbunden sind, das heißt mit diesen kommunizieren können und in der Lage sind, von der Gegenseite empfangene Daten zu verarbeiten, und einen ohnehin vorhandenen Übertragungskanal zwischen der zugseitigen und der streckenseitigen Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtung mitbenutzen.In a preferred manner, it is provided that the central control devices for the doors or the elements of a corresponding platform guidance system are respectively connected to a train-side and a track-side vehicle control device, that is to say they can communicate with them and are able to process data received from the opposite side, and share an already existing transmission channel between the train side and the trackside vehicle control device.

anhand eines in einer Prinzipzeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels sollen die Datenwege, die sich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ergeben, aufgezeigt werden.Based on an embodiment shown in a schematic drawing, the data paths resulting from the method according to the invention are to be shown.

Sowohl auf der Streckenseite als auch auf der Fahrzeugseite ist eine Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtung ATP (Automatic Train Protection - ATP) vorhanden, mit der grundsätzliche Funktionen des Zuges, zum Beispiel der Halt an einer bestimmten Bahnsteigposition, gesteuert werden. Die Fahrzeugtüren 3 des Zuges werden zentral von einer Türsteuereinheit 1 (Train Door Control - TDC) angesteuert, die auf dezentrale Türsteuereinheiten 2 (Door Control Unit - DCU) jeder Fahrzeugtür 3 zugreifen. In gleicher Weise steuert eine bahnsteigseitige Türsteuereinheit 4 (Platform Screen Door Control - PSDC) dezentrale Türsteuereinheiten 5 an korrespondierenden Bahnsteigtüren 6.Both on the track side and on the vehicle side there is an ATP (Automatic Train Protection - ATP), with which basic functions of the train, for example stopping at a certain platform position, are controlled. The vehicle doors 3 of the train are controlled centrally by a door control unit 1 (Train Door Control - TDC), which access decentralized door control units 2 (Door Control Unit - DCU) of each vehicle door 3. In the same way, a platform-side door control unit 4 (Platform Screen Door Control - PSDC) controls decentralized door control units 5 at corresponding platform screen doors 6.

Bereits vor Erreichen eines Bahnsteiges kommunizieren die beiden Türsteuereinheiten 1 und 4 miteinander, indem sie den Übertragungskanal 7 zwischen den Fahrzeugsteuerungseinrichtungen ATP mitbenutzen. Auf diese Weise werden somit Informationen über den Zustand der Türen, Fahrzeugtüren 3 und Bahnsteigtüren 6, gegenseitig übermittelt und können in den Türsteuereinheiten 1 und 4 verarbeitet und jeweils an ein fahrzeugseitiges und ein bahnsteigseitiges Fahrgastinformationssystem 8 (Passenger Information System - PIS_ts; PIS_ws) gemeldet werden. Dabei kann die streckenseitige Türsteuereinheit 4 auch Informationen aus der zentralen Betriebsleittechnik ATS (Automatic Train Supervision - ATS), zu der ebenfalls ein Übertragungskanal 9 besteht, berücksichtigen.Even before reaching a platform, the two door control units 1 and 4 communicate with each other by sharing the transmission channel 7 between the vehicle control devices ATP. In this way, thus information about the state of the doors, vehicle doors 3 and platform doors 6 are transmitted to each other and can be processed in the door control units 1 and 4 and reported respectively to an on-board and a platform-side passenger information system 8 (PIS_ts; PIS_ws) , In this case, the track-side door control unit 4 and information from the central operating control technology ATS (Automatic Train Supervision - ATS), which also includes a transmission channel 9, take into account.

Nach dem Eintreffen des Zuges am Bahnsteig kommunizieren die dezentralen Türsteuereinheiten 2 und 5 auch miteinander auf direktem, das heißt lokalem Wege miteinander, zum Beispiel über eine Infrarot-Schnittstelle 10.After the arrival of the train at the platform, the decentralized door control units 2 and 5 also communicate with each other on direct, that is to say local, paths, for example via an infrared interface 10.
