Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur fahrrichtungsbezogene Streckenpunktprüfung für ETCS-Systeme gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie zur Durchführung des Verfahrens auf ein portables Gerät gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 6.The present invention relates to a method for driving direction-related route point check for ETCS systems according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and for carrying out the method on a portable device according to the preamble of patent claim 6.

Das Systems ERTMS - weiterführende Information siehe [1] - verwendet für die Informationsübertragung zwischen Gleis und Fahrzeug wenigstens zwei Balisen, die logisch und örtlich in einer Balisengruppe zusammengefasst sind. Für die weiteren Ausführungen wird auf die FIG 1 Bezug genommen. Balisen 6 können als stets gleiche Telegramme aussendende Festdatenbalisen F oder als steuerbare Transparentbalisen T ausgeführt sein. Transparent-balisen T übertragen den Inhalt, das ist ein Signalbegriff, eines von einem Adapter LEU 8 entstammenden Telegramms an ein Fahrzeug. Die wenigstens paarige Anordnung von Balisen 6 in Balisengruppen ist erforderlich, um bei Überfahrt mittels einer festen Kennung in einem Telegramm die Fahrrichtung A oder B des überfahrenden Zuges zu erkennen.The system ERTMS - for further information see [1] - uses at least two balises, which are combined logically and locally in a balise group, for the information transfer between track and vehicle. For further comments will be on the FIG. 1 Referenced. Balises 6 can be designed as fixed data balises F which always send the same telegrams or as controllable transparent balises T. Transparent balises T transmit the content, that is a signal concept, of a telegram originating from an adapter LEU 8 to a vehicle. The at least paired arrangement of balises 6 in balise groups is required in order to recognize the direction of travel A or B of the crossing train when crossing by means of a fixed identifier in a telegram.

Im Rahmen von Streckenpunktabnahmen kann bis heute erst bei einer Überfahrt eines Fahrzeuges sichergestellt werden, dass die Balisen-Reihenfolge (Fahrrichtung) und die Balisen -Verlinkung (Reihenfolge der Nummerierung der Balisen innerhalb der Gruppe) mit der Projektierung übereinstimmt. Die einzelnen Balisen 6 können zwar ausgelesen werden, jedoch kann nicht sichergestellt werden, dass die projektierten Daten über zwei bzw. mehreren Balisen 6 konsistent sind oder sich keine Verwechslung ergeben hat. Dieser Sachverhalt birgt das Risiko, dass erst bei der ersten Fahrzeugüberfahrt der Fehler bemerkt wird. Dadurch resultieren Nachfolgekosten und Umprojektierungsarbeiten. Die DE 10 2007 019 035 A1 offenbart eine Funktionspritung von Streckenpunkten.In the context of distance point acceptances, it is only possible to ensure that the balise sequence (direction of travel) and the balise transfer (order of the numbering of the balises within the group) matches the configuration until the vehicle is crossed. Although the individual balises 6 can be read out, it can not be ensured that the projected data on two or more balises 6 are consistent or that no confusion has resulted. This situation carries the risk that the error will be noticed only at the first vehicle crossing. This results in follow-up costs and reconfiguration work. The DE 10 2007 019 035 A1 discloses a function of waypoints.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und ein Gerät anzugeben, die auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise erlauben, eine Streckenpunktabnahme durchführen zu können, um Fehler zwischen den projektierten Daten und der tatsächlichen Installation im Gleisbereich sehr frühzeitig erkennen zu können.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method and a device that allow a simple and cost-effective way, a distance point decrease To be able to detect errors between the configured data and the actual installation in the track area very early.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in weiteren Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the features specified in the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

So ergeben sich die folgenden Vorteile:

  • i) Durch die Prüfung mit einem portablen Rechner lassen sich Fahrten mit einem Eisenbahntestzug vermeiden und somit sind auch die betrieblichen Einschränkungen weit weniger gravierend. Dies gilt insbesondere bei Umrüstungen von Strecken auf das System ETCS.
  • ii) In einer besonderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einer Teleskopantenne kann ein Streckenpunkt abgegangen werden, dass sich dadurch eine direkte Personengefährdung ergibt, da sich die den Rechner tragende Person ausserhalb Gefahrenbereichs bewegt. Zusätzlich kann für diesen Fall eine Sollbruchstelle in der Teleskopantenne vorgesehen werden, so dass in einem Ereignisfall die betreffende Person von der durch einen Bauzug erfassten Antenne nicht mitgerissen wird.
  • iii) Vorgängig der Prüfung vor Ort können in einer Weiterbildung geographische Daten zu den zu prüfenden Streckenpunkte zusätzlich übertragen werden, um einen zusätzlichen Plausibilitätscheck für den zu prüfenden Streckenpunkt vornehmen zu können. Es gilt, nicht nur die korrekte Fahrrichtung so auch die korrekte Zuordnung Balisengruppe zu Gleis zu prüfen.
  • iv) Mit diesem Verfahren und mit dem portablen Gerät könne auch nicht sichtbare Balisen aufgespürt werden, z.B. mit Schnee zugedeckte Balisen oder Balisen die mit Beton/Pflastersteinen etc. abgedeckt bzw. zugedeckt sind.
This results in the following advantages:
  • i) Testing with a portable calculator makes it possible to avoid driving with a train train and thus the operational restrictions are far less serious. This is especially true when upgrading routes to the ETCS system.
  • ii) In a particular embodiment of the invention with a telescopic antenna, a route point can be omitted, thereby resulting in a direct personal danger, since the person carrying the computer moves outside the danger zone. In addition, a predetermined breaking point in the telescopic antenna can be provided for this case, so that in an event, the person concerned is not entrained by the detected by a train antenna.
  • (iii) Prior to the on-site inspection, geographic data on the route points to be tested may be additionally transmitted in a further training in order to carry out an additional plausibility check for the route point to be inspected. It is important to check not only the correct direction of travel, but also the correct allocation of the balancing group to the track.
  • iv) With this method and with the portable device also non-visible balises can be detected, eg with snow covered balises or balises that are covered or covered with concrete / paving stones etc.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

  • Figur 1 Streckenausschnitt mit je einer Balisengruppe vor einem Signal;
  • Figur 2 Anordnung an einer Balisengruppe mit einem Gerät zur Durchführung der Streckenabnahme.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, for example. Showing:
  • FIG. 1 Route section with one balise group each in front of a signal;
  • FIG. 2 Arrangement on a balise group with a device for carrying out the route inspection.

Die Balisengruppen, die gemäss der FIG 1 angeordnet sind, kommen nur für die Fahrrichtung B in Funktion. Dies ist wie eingangs erwähnt durch die von der Balise 6 empfangbaren Daten durch Rücklesen der Balisendaten mit dem Test- und Programmiergerät sichergestellt.The balise groups, which according to the FIG. 1 are arranged, come only for the direction of travel B in function. As already mentioned, this is ensured by the data receivable by the balise 6 by reading back the balis data with the test and programming device.

Für die konkrete Abnahme eines Streckenpunktes vor einem Signal 7 wird nun auf die FIG 2 Bezug genommen. Ein Streckenpunkt wird durch wenigstens zwei im Gleis angeordnete Balisen 6 gebildet. Gemäss der FIG 2 sind zwei Balisen 6 vor dem Signal 7 angeordnet. Die Angabe «vor» bezieht sich auf die Fahrtrichtung d. Der Streckenpunkt hat nur eine Funktion bezüglich dieser Fahrtrichtung d. Die Distanz zwischen der ersten und zweiten Balise6 liegt typischerweise im Bereich von 2m bis etwa 12m. Von einer Person wird ein mobiler Rechner 4 getragen, deshalb auch der Begriff «portabler Rechner» 4. Dieser Rechner 4 hat die übliche Struktur mit Prozessor, Bus, Speicher und peripheren Anschlüssen. Einer dieser peripheren Anschlüsse wird benutzt, um diesen Rechner über einen Balisendetektor 3 mit einer mobilen magnetischen Antenne 1, 2 zu verbinden. Der Balisendetektor 3 hat eine Schnittstellenfunktion zwischen empfangenem Signal/Telegramm von einer Balise 6 und der weiteren transparenten Zuführung an den Rechner, z.B. über eine USB-Schnittstelle. Diese Antenne ist einerseits eine «mobile magnetische Aktivierungsantenne» 1 und andererseits in eine «mobile magnetische Empfangsantenne für den Uplink» 2 gegliedert. Mit dem von der «mobilen magnetische Aktivierungsantenne» 1 ausgesendeten Feld 9 wird eine darunterliegende Balise 6 aktiviert, die daraufhin ein Telegramm 9 aussendet, das von der «mobilen magnetische Empfangsantenne» 2 empfangen wird und über den Balisendetektor 3 in decodierter Form vom mobilen Rechner verarbeitbar und darstellbar ist. Dieser Rechner 4 ist vorgängig mit den Projektierungsdaten geladen worden.For the concrete decrease of a waypoint before a signal 7 is now on the FIG. 2 Referenced. A waypoint is formed by at least two in-track balises 6. According to the FIG. 2 two balises 6 are arranged in front of the signal 7. The indication "before" refers to the direction of travel d. The waypoint has only one function with respect to this direction d. The distance between the first and second balises 6 is typically in the range of 2m to about 12m. One person carries a mobile computer 4, hence the term "portable computer" 4. This computer 4 has the usual structure with processor, bus, memory and peripheral connections. One of these peripheral ports is used to connect this computer via a balise detector 3 to a mobile magnetic antenna 1, 2. The balise detector 3 has an interface function between the received signal / telegram from a balise 6 and the further transparent feeder to the computer, eg via a USB interface. These Antenna is on the one hand a "mobile magnetic activation antenna" 1 and on the other hand divided into a "mobile magnetic receiving antenna for the uplink" 2. With the field 9 emitted by the "mobile magnetic activation antenna" 1, an underlying balise 6 is activated, which then emits a telegram 9 which is received by the "mobile magnetic receiving antenna" 2 and can be processed by the mobile computer via the balise detector 3 in decoded form and is representable. This computer 4 has been previously loaded with the configuration data.

Mechanisch ist die Antenne 1, 2 als Teleskop-Antenne ausgebildet, um zwischen der Antenne selber und der Halterung/Griff eine verstellbare Distanz zu schaffen, dass die betreffende Person ausserhalb des Gleisbereich und somit ausserhalb des Gefahrenbereiches (z.B. durch Bauzüge) sich frei bewegen kann.Mechanically, the antenna 1, 2 is designed as a telescopic antenna to create an adjustable distance between the antenna itself and the holder / handle that the person concerned outside the track area and thus outside the danger zone (eg by trains) can move freely ,

Das Verfahren für die Streckenpunktabnahme läuft mit den folgenden Schritten ab:

  • i) Positionierung der mobilen Aktivierungsantenne ca. 2m vor der ersten Balise;
  • ii) Rechner 4 einschalten;
  • iii) Auf dem Display/Screen des Rechners 4 erscheint eine Anweisung für diesen Streckenpunkt aufgrund der vorgängig geladenen Projektierungsdaten. Die Anweisung beinhaltet, dass die Richtung d zum Signal 7 vom Punkt I zum Punkt II abgelaufen werden soll. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass diese Anweisung aus einer Text-to-Speech Konversion akustisch über einen Lautsprecher ausgegeben wird;
  • iv) Ablaufen der Strecke vom Punkt I zum Punkt II, also in der Richtung d zum Signal 7, es sind auch Streckenpunkte möglich, die kein Signal aufweisen, sondern durch lediglich zwei Fixdatenbalisen gebildet werden um z.B. eine Information über eine höchstzulässige Geschwindigkeit vor einer Kurve zu signalisieren.
  • v) «Stopp Taste» am Rechner 4 drücken. Diese hier «Stopp Taste» genannte Taste kann besonders auf dem Rechner angeordnet sein, um eine Bedienung auch mit Handschuhen zu ermöglichen. Ebenso ist es möglich, für diese Funktion STOPP eine Taste der Tastatur oder eine auf einem Touchscreen ausgebildete "Taste" vorzusehen.
  • vi) Mit den im Rechner 4 vorgängig gespeicherten Projektierungsdaten werden die empfangenen Balisentelegramme 9 ausgewertet. Diese Auswertung gilt als Streckenpunktabnahme und berücksichtigt folgende Aspekte:
    • Konsistenzprüfung Balisengruppe, Fahrrichtungsbezogene Telegramme, Nutzinhalte der Telegramme sowie die zughörigen Signalbilder.
    • Der automatisch Generierte Bericht dient als Abnahmeprotokoll des Streckenpunktes. Dieses Verfahren kann auch bei der Fehlersuche im Unterhaltsprozess angewendet werden.
The method for the waypoint decrease takes place with the following steps:
  • i) positioning the mobile activation antenna about 2m before the first balise;
  • ii) turn on computer 4;
  • iii) On the display / screen of computer 4, an instruction for this route point appears on the basis of the previously loaded configuration data. The instruction involves that the direction d to signal 7 from point I to point II should be expired. Alternatively, it is also possible that this instruction is emitted acoustically via a loudspeaker from a text-to-speech conversion;
  • iv) running the route from the point I to the point II, ie in the direction d to the signal 7, there are also ways points possible that no signal but are formed by only two fixed data balises to signal, for example, information about a maximum speed before a curve.
  • v) Press «Stop button» on the computer 4. This button, called "Stop Button", can be arranged especially on the computer to allow operation even with gloves on. It is also possible to provide a keyboard key or a "key" formed on a touch screen for this STOP function.
  • vi) With the previously stored in the computer 4 configuration data, the received Balisentelegramme 9 are evaluated. This evaluation is considered a distance point decrease and takes into account the following aspects:
    • Consistency check of the balancing group, direction-related telegrams, useful contents of the telegrams as well as the associated signal images.
    • The automatically generated report serves as acceptance protocol of the waypoint. This procedure can also be used during troubleshooting in the maintenance process.

Die Zuordnung und Identifikation der vorgefundenen Balisengruppe kann zusätzlich noch sichergestellt und dokumentiert werden, indem mit einem Ortungsmodul 5 die Position des Rechners 4 zusätzlich festgestellt wird. Die Projektierungsdaten beinhalten für diesen Fall zusätzlich geographische Koordinaten, so dass durch die GPS-Ortung die betreffende Balisengruppe einfacher identifiziert werden kann, z.B. ohne eine bestimmte Nummer dieses Streckenpunktes im Gleisbereich zu hinterlegen und somit vor Durchführung des Verfahrens manuell abzufragen bzw. durch menschliche Interaktion lesen zu müssen.The assignment and identification of the found balise group can additionally be ensured and documented by additionally determining the position of the computer 4 with a locating module 5. The configuration data for this case additionally contain geographic coordinates, so that the respective balise group can be identified more easily by GPS positioning, for example without depositing a specific number of this route point in the track area and thus manually interrogating or reading by human interaction before carrying out the method to have to.

Dies ist insbesondere dann von Bedeutung, wenn der Streckenpunkt nur aus Fixdatenbalisen 6 gebildet wird. So lassen sich Verwechslungen eines zwar richtungsmässig richtig installierten aber auf dem falschen Gleis 10 befindlichen Balisenpaares zusätzlich feststellen.This is particularly important if the route point is formed only by fixed data balises 6. Thus, confusion of a true directionally installed but located on the wrong track 10 Balisenpaares can also determine.
