Description
La présente invention porte sur un procédé et un système de gestion de la circulation d'au moins un véhicule, ainsi que sur une installation ferroviaire.The present invention relates to a method and a system for managing the circulation of at least one vehicle, as well as a railway installation.
L'invention s'applique au domaine ferroviaire, le procédé et le système étant destinés à une installation ferroviaire.The invention applies to the railway field, the method and the system being intended for a railway installation.
De façon classique, les installations ferroviaires comprennent des stations dotées de quais destinés, par exemple, à la descente et à la montée de passagers.Typically, railway facilities include stations with platforms for eg the descent and the rise of passengers.
Il est connu de munir les quais de façades de quai, également appelées portes palières, et désignées par l'acronyme PSD de l'anglais « Platform Screen Doors ». Les façades de quai sont situées en bordure des voies et sont essentiellement destinées à empêcher des suicides ou des accidents de passagers.It is known to provide quays with dock facades, also called landing doors, and designated by the acronym PSD of the English "Platform Screen Doors". The wharf facades are located along the tracks and are primarily intended to prevent suicide or passenger accidents.
Les façades de quai définissent une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture. De telles façades de quai sont pilotées de façon automatique de sorte, par exemple, à n'être en position d'ouverture que lorsqu'un véhicule est stationné à un quai.The platform façades define an open position and a closed position. Such quaysides are automatically controlled so, for example, to be in the open position when a vehicle is parked at a dock.
En outre, certaines installations ferroviaires sont dotées d'un système de contrôle automatique du trafic ferroviaire, également désigné par l'acronyme CBTC de l'anglais « Communication Based Train Control ». Il s'agit d'un système basé sur une communication entre des véhicules et des dispositifs en charge de la gestion du trafic.In addition, some railway facilities are equipped with an automatic rail traffic control system, also known as CBTC (Communication Based Train Control). It is a system based on communication between vehicles and devices in charge of traffic management.
Lorsque les quais sont dotés de façades de quai, le système CBTC assure l'articulation entre la position d'ouverture ou de fermeture des façades de quai et la circulation des véhicules. A titre d'illustration, un véhicule approchant d'un quai doté de façades de quai ne sera autorisé à entrer en station que si les façades de quai sont bien verrouillées en position de fermeture.When the platforms are equipped with platform façades, the CBTC system ensures the articulation between the opening or closing position of the wharf façades and the circulation of the vehicles. As an illustration, a vehicle approaching a platform with wharf facades will be allowed to enter the station if the quayside are locked in the closed position.
Toutefois, il arrive que les façades de quai ne soient pas encore installées ou que seuls certains quais soient dotés de telles façades. Une telle situation arrive, par exemple, lors du déploiement ou de la refonte d'une installation ferroviaire.However, sometimes the wharf facades are not yet installed or only some wharves are equipped with such facades. This situation occurs, for example, when deploying or overhauling a railway facility.
Dans de tels cas, il est connu de l'état de la technique de configurer le système CBTC de sorte à distinguer, dans une partie du système CBTC embarquée dans les véhicules, les quais dépourvus de façades de quai de ceux dotés de façades de quai. Par exemple, la précision exigée pour la position d'arrêt d'un train est plus importante dans le cas d'un quai doté de façades de quai, que dans le cas d'un quai dépourvu de façades de quai. En effet, les portes du train doivent être alignées avec les portes des façades de quai.In such cases, it is known from the state of the art to configure the CBTC system so as to distinguish, in a part of the CBTC system embedded in the vehicles, quays without quayside facades and those with quay façades. . For example, the accuracy required for the stopping position of a train is greater in the case of a wharf with wharf facades, than in the case of a wharf devoid of wharf facades. Indeed, the doors of the train must be aligned with the doors of the quaysides.
Toutefois, cela présente comme inconvénient de devoir reconfigurer la partie du système CBTC embarquée dans chaque véhicule à chaque fois que de nouvelles façades de quai sont installées. De ce fait, cela ne facilite pas l'installation au fur et mesure de façades de quai.However, this has the disadvantage of having to reconfigure the portion of the CBTC system embedded in each vehicle each time new wharf facades are installed. As a result, it does not facilitate the installation as and when dock facades.
De tels systèmes de contrôle de façades de quai sont connus du document
Un but de l'invention est de gérer la circulation d'au moins un véhicule dans une installation ferroviaire dont la mise en oeuvre est indépendante de la présence ou non de façades de quai sur les différents quais, et ne nécessite pas de modifier la partie du système CBTC embarquée dans chaque véhicule.An object of the invention is to manage the movement of at least one vehicle in a railway installation whose implementation is independent of the presence or absence of dock facades on the various platforms, and does not require modification of the part of the CBTC system embedded in each vehicle.
A cet effet, il est proposé un procédé de gestion de la circulation d'au moins un véhicule dans une installation ferroviaire. L'installation ferroviaire comprend des voies, au moins une station comprenant au moins un quai propre à recevoir des façades de quai, et au moins un véhicule adapté pour circuler sur les voies. Le véhicule comprend un contrôleur installé à bord du véhicule et adapté pour mettre en oeuvre un premier protocole et un second protocole distinct du premier protocole, les premier et second protocoles étant mis en oeuvre de façon exclusive l'un de l'autre et assurant chacun au moins l'un de l'arrivée du véhicule à chaque station et du départ du véhicule à chaque station.

Dans l'exemple de la
Les façades de quai 22 sont généralement installées en bordure de voies 12 et sont, par exemple, formées par des portes et des façades séparant le quai 20 des voies 12. Les façades et les portes sont, par exemple, vitrées et présentent une hauteur suffisante pour dissuader un individu de les enjamber.The platform façades 22 are generally installed along the edges of

De préférence, les signaux de commande et d'état sont des signaux binaires transmis par des connexions filaires respectives.Preferably, the control and status signals are binary signals transmitted by respective wire connections.
Dans un tel cas, chaque quai 20 comprend un ensemble de connexions filaires correspondant. Par exemple, une connexion filaire alimentée correspond à la valeur « vrai » et une connexion filaire non alimentée correspond à la valeur « faux ».In such a case, each platform 20 comprises a set of corresponding wire connections. For example, a wired connection that is powered up is true, and a wired, unpowered connection is false.
Le véhicule 16 est adapté pour circuler sur les voies 12 et est, par exemple, un véhicule ferroviaire tel un métro ou un tramway.The
Le système de gestion 18 est destiné à assurer la circulation d'un véhicule 16 dans l'installation ferroviaire 10 indépendamment de la présence ou non de façades de quai 22.The

Dans l'exemple de la
De préférence, chaque dispositif inhibiteur 26 est installé sur un quai 20 correspondant.Preferably, each inhibiting device 26 is installed on a corresponding platform 20.
Par construction, les dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 sont extérieurs au véhicule 16. Par-là, il est entendu que les dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 ne sont pas liés mécaniquement au véhicule 16.By construction, the inhibiting devices 26 are external to the
Chaque dispositif inhibiteur 26 est propre à émettre un état spécifique au quai 20.Each inhibiting device 26 is capable of emitting a specific state at the platform 20.
Un état spécifique au quai 20 indique, par exemple, la présence de façades de quai 22 sur le quai 20 sur lequel le dispositif inhibiteur 26 est installé.A state specific to the platform 20 indicates, for example, the presence of
Un autre état spécifique au quai 20 indique, par exemple, l'absence de façades de quai 22 sur le quai 20 sur lequel le dispositif inhibiteur 26 est installé.Another state specific to the platform 20 indicates, for example, the absence of
Alternativement, un autre état spécifique au quai 20 indique, par exemple, une défaillance des façades de quai 22 sur le quai 20 sur lequel le dispositif inhibiteur 26 est installé.Alternatively, another wharf-specific state 20 indicates, for example, a failure of the
Dans l'exemple de la
De préférence, un équipement supplémentaire, non représenté, est relié en entrée de l'encodeur radio 30 et est adapté pour associer chacune des valeurs reçues des dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 à un numéro de quai de sorte à fournir à l'encodeur radio 30 des couples, chaque couple étant formé d'une valeur binaire et d'un numéro de quai.Preferably, additional equipment, not shown, is connected to the input of the
A la réception d'un état spécifique à un quai 20 prenant la valeur « vrai », l'encodeur radio 30 est adapté pour transmettre une information spécifique au quai 20 par voie radio au contrôleur 28. De fait, l'information spécifique à un quai 20 est transmise par l'encodeur radio 30 lorsque le quai 20 est dépourvu de façades de quai 22.Upon receipt of a specific state at a platform 20 taking the value "true", the
De préférence, l'information spécifique au quai 20 transmise par l'encodeur radio 30 est un message au format Ethernet sécurisé représentatif du numéro du quai 20.Preferably, the platform-specific information transmitted by the
De préférence, à la réception d'un état spécifique prenant la valeur « faux » pour un quai 20, l'encodeur radio 30 est adapté pour ne pas transmettre d'information au contrôleur 28, ce qui signifie que le quai 20 est doté de façades de quai 22.Preferably, upon receiving a specific state taking the value "false" for a platform 20, the
Dans l'exemple de la
Lorsque l'interrupteur est ouvert, la connexion filaire n'est pas alimentée électriquement et l'état spécifique prend la valeur « faux ».When the switch is open, the wired connection is not electrically powered and the specific state is set to "false".
A l'inverse, lorsque l'interrupteur est fermé, la connexion filaire est alimentée électriquement et l'état spécifique prend la valeur « vrai ».Conversely, when the switch is closed, the wired connection is electrically powered and the specific state takes the value "true".
Dans l'exemple de la
Dans ce cas, les dispositifs inhibiteurs 26A et 26B des deux quais équipés 20A et 20B ne sont pas alimentés et l'état spécifique des quais 20A et 20B prend la valeur « faux ». Le dispositif inhibiteur 26C du quai 20C dépourvu de façades de quai est alimenté et l'état spécifique au quai 20C prend la valeur « vrai ». Par suite, l'encodeur radio 30 ne transmet au contrôleur 28 qu'une information spécifique au quai 20C dépourvu de façades de quai.In this case, the inhibiting
Le contrôleur 28 est, par exemple, la partie embarquée d'un système CBTC.The
Dans ce cas, le contrôleur est, par exemple, l'ATC embarqué, de l'anglais « Automatic Train Control ».In this case, the controller is, for example, the ATC on board, the English "Automatic Train Control".
Le contrôleur 28 comprend une antenne et est adapté pour échanger par voie radio des messages avec l'interface de communication 24.The
En outre, le contrôleur 28 comprend une mémoire comprenant des instructions logicielles et un processeur propre à exécuter au moins une partie des instructions.In addition, the
La mémoire du contrôleur 28 contient une base de données qui comprend un ensemble de jeux de données.The
Dans la base de données, il y a autant de jeux de données que de quais 20 propres à recevoir des façades de quai 22.In the database, there are as many data sets as platforms 20 suitable for receiving
Dans l'exemple de la
Un jeu de données est un ensemble d'au moins une donnée.A dataset is a set of at least one data.
Chaque jeu de données comprend, par exemple, au moins une position et une durée.Each data set includes, for example, at least one position and one duration.
La position correspond, par exemple, à la distance séparant un point prédéterminé du véhicule 16 de la fin du quai 20 correspondant.The position corresponds, for example, to the distance separating a predetermined point of the
La durée est, par exemple, le temps s'écoulant entre la transmission par le contrôleur 28 de la commande de fermeture des façades de quai 22 et la réception par le contrôleur 28 d'un message indiquant que les façades de quai 22 sont verrouillées en position de fermeture.The duration is, for example, the time elapsing between the transmission by the
La mémoire du contrôleur 28 contient, en outre, des instructions relatives à un premier protocole et à un second protocole, le contrôleur 28 étant adapté pour mettre en oeuvre un premier protocole et un second protocole.The memory of the
Le premier protocole et le second protocole sont distincts. En outre, les premier et deuxième protocoles sont mis en oeuvre de façon exclusive l'un de l'autre. Par-là, il est entendu que le contrôleur 28 n'exécute qu'un des deux protocoles à la fois.The first protocol and the second protocol are distinct. In addition, the first and second protocols are implemented exclusively from one another. By this, it is understood that the
Le premier protocole et le second protocole assurent chacun l'arrivée du véhicule 16 à chaque station 14 et/ou le départ du véhicule 16 de chaque station 14.The first protocol and the second protocol each ensure the arrival of the
Le premier protocole est destiné au cas où le véhicule 16 stationne ou se rapproche d'un quai 20 doté de façades de quai 22.The first protocol is intended for the case where the
Le second protocole est destiné au cas où le véhicule 16 stationne ou se rapproche d'un quai 20 dépourvu de façades de quai.The second protocol is intended for the case where the
Le contrôleur 28 est installé à bord du véhicule et est adapté pour mettre en oeuvre, par défaut, le premier protocole.The
De plus, lorsque le premier protocole est mis en oeuvre par le contrôleur 28, le contrôleur 28 est adapté pour convertir un jeu de données en instructions.In addition, when the first protocol is implemented by the
En particulier, lorsque le véhicule 16 est stationné à un quai 20, dit quai courant, ou lorsque le véhicule 16 circule et que le prochain quai 20 est le quai courant, le contrôleur 28 est adapté pour convertir en instructions le jeu de données correspondant dans la base de données au quai courant.In particular, when the
Une instruction est au moins une commande adressée à des éléments du véhicule 16. Les éléments sont, par exemple, un système de freinage, un système de motorisation ou encore un système d'ouverture/fermeture des portes du véhicule 16.An instruction is at least one command addressed to elements of the
Les instructions sont, par exemple, des instructions de déplacement du véhicule 16 ou des instructions d'ouverture/fermeture des portes du véhicule 16. En particulier, les instructions de déplacements résultent de la distance contenue dans le jeu de données associé dans la base de données au quai courant.The instructions are, for example, instructions for moving the

Lorsque les quais 20 sont dotés de façades de quai 22, les connexions filaires sont connectées au module de gestion de façades de quai.When the platforms 20 are equipped with
Lorsque les quais 20 sont dépourvus de façades de quai 22, les connexions filaires sont en attente de connexion.When the platforms 20 are devoid of
Dans l'exemple des
En particulier, une première connexion filaire 36 est propre à transmettre un signal d'ouverture des portes des façades de quai 22, une deuxième connexion filaire 38 est propre à transmettre un signal de fermeture de portes des façades de quai 22, une troisième connexion filaire 40 est propre à transmettre un état de verrouillage des portes des façades de quai 22 dans la position de fermeture, et une quatrième connexion filaire 42 est propre à transmettre manuellement un état d'impossibilité de transmettre un état de verrouillage des portes des façades de quai 22 dans la position de fermeture.In particular, a first
Comme visible sur la
Cela permet de disposer de connexions filaires prêtes à l'emploi. Par-là, il est entendu que lorsque des façades de quai 22 seront installées, il n'y aura plus qu'à relier les connexions au module de gestion de façades de quai.This allows for wired connections ready for use. By this, it is understood that when the
Les connexions filaires respectives des dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 des quais 20 dotés de façades de quai 22 sont reliées à la masse.The respective wired connections of the inhibitor devices 26 of the platforms 20 with
Les connexions filaires respectives des dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 des quais 20 dépourvus de façades de quai 22 sont reliées à une batterie 44.The respective wire connections of the inhibitor devices 26 of the platforms 20 without
Un exemple de mise en oeuvre du procédé est à présent décrit en référence à la
Le procédé est destiné à gérer la circulation d'au moins un véhicule 16 dans une installation ferroviaire 10 dont les quais 20 ne contiennent nécessairement pas tous des façades de quai 22.The method is intended to manage the circulation of at least one
Le procédé comprend une étape initiale de fourniture, non représentée.The method comprises an initial step of providing, not shown.
L'étape initiale de fourniture consiste à fournir, pour chaque quai 20, un jeu de données spécifique au quai 20, le contrôleur 28 de chacun des véhicules 16 ayant accès aux jeux de données.The initial provisioning step consists in providing, for each platform 20, a data set specific to the platform 20, the
De préférence, l'étape de fourniture consiste à enregistrer dans la base de données du contrôleur 28 de chacun des véhicules 16 les jeux de données en les associant respectivement à chacun des quai 20 de l'installation ferroviaire 10 sur laquelle les véhicules 16 sont susceptibles de circuler.Preferably, the provisioning step consists in recording in the database of the
Alternativement, les jeux de données sont mémorisés sur un autre support de stockage d'information auquel ont accès les contrôleurs 28 de chacun des véhicules 16.Alternatively, the data sets are stored on another information storage medium accessed by the
En pratique, lorsque qu'un quai 20 est déjà doté de façades de quai 22, un opérateur calcule la valeur de la distance et la renseigne dans la base de données en l'associant au quai 20.In practice, when a platform 20 is already equipped with
Lorsque qu'un quai 20 n'est pas encore doté de façades de quai 22, l'emplacement des éventuelles futures façades de quai 22 est déterminé et la valeur de la position est alors déduite puis renseignée dans la base de données par un opérateur.When a platform 20 is not yet equipped with
La valeur de la durée découle, par exemple, du type de façades de quai 22 déjà installées ou à installer sur les quais 20 qui est connu.The value of the duration derives, for example, from the type of
Par exemple, lorsque les façades de quais 22 installées ou à installer sont les mêmes, la valeur de la durée est la même pour chacun des quais 20 dotés ou non de façades de quai 22.For example, when the
Dans ce qui suit, il est considéré que le véhicule 16 circule sur les voies 12 en définissant une route, le prochain quai 20 sur la route étant appelé quai courant.In what follows, it is considered that the
La mise en oeuvre du procédé lorsque le véhicule 16 est stationné au quai courant se déduit de la mise en oeuvre du procédé décrite ci-dessous.The implementation of the method when the
Dans des premières étapes 100, le contrôleur 28 met en oeuvre, par défaut, le premier protocole qui est décrit ci-après.In
Puis, une étape de test 102 est mise en oeuvre.Then, a
Le résultat de l'étape de test 102 est noté O ou N.The result of the
Le résultat de l'étape de test 102 résulte d'une étape de transmission éventuelle au contrôleur 28 d'une information spécifique au quai courant.The result of the
Dans l'exemple de la
Dans l'exemple de la
Dans l'exemple de la
De fait, il y a lieu de distinguer un premier cas dans lequel le quai courant est doté de façades de quai 22 et un second cas dans lequel le quai courant est dépourvu de façades de quai 22.In fact, it is necessary to distinguish a first case in which the current platform is equipped with
Dans le premier cas, le quai courant étant doté de façades de quai 22, le dispositif inhibiteur 26 du quai courant n'est pas alimenté électriquement.In the first case, the current platform being provided with
De fait, l'état émis par le dispositif inhibiteur 26 du quai courant prend la valeur « faux ».In fact, the state emitted by the inhibiting device 26 of the current platform takes the value "false".
Par suite, l'encodeur radio 30 ne transmet pas d'information spécifique au quai courant au contrôleur 28.As a result, the
De fait, dans le premier cas, l'étape de transmission éventuelle d'une information spécifique au quai courant n'est pas mise en oeuvre et le résultat de l'étape de test 102 est N.In fact, in the first case, the step of possibly transmitting information specific to the current platform is not implemented and the result of the
Lorsque le résultat de l'étape de test 102 est N, le contrôleur 28 continue de mettre en oeuvre le premier protocole selon les étapes 100. Dit autrement, l'absence de transmission et donc l'absence de réception par le contrôleur 28 d'une information spécifique au quai courant est sans effet sur le contrôleur 28 qui met en oeuvre le premier protocole.When the result of the
Le premier protocole est à présent décrit.The first protocol is now described.
Le premier protocole consiste à convertir un jeu de données en instructions.The first protocol is to convert a dataset into instructions.
Les instructions sont des instructions de déplacement du véhicule 16 et d'ouverture/fermeture de portes du véhicule 16.The instructions are instructions for moving the
Dans la présente situation, la mise en oeuvre du premier protocole consiste à convertir le jeu de données correspondant au quai courant en instructions de sorte à ce que les mouvements et l'ouverture/fermeture des portes du véhicule 16 s'articulent correctement avec la présence de façades de quai 22.In the present situation, the implementation of the first protocol consists in converting the data set corresponding to the current platform into instructions so that the movements and the opening / closing of the doors of the
Selon le premier protocole, le véhicule 16 circulant sur les voies 12, le prochain quai 20 sur sa route étant le quai courant le contrôleur 28, attend de recevoir le message indiquant que les portes des façades de quai 22 du quai courant sont verrouillées en position de fermeture pour rentrer en station.According to the first protocol, the
Une fois que le signal est reçu, le contrôleur 28 pilote l'entrée en station du véhicule 16.Once the signal is received, the
En se rapprochant du quai courant, le contrôleur 28 lit dans la base de données la valeur de la position associée au quai courant. A partir de la valeur de la position lue, le contrôleur 28 pilote l'arrêt du véhicule 16 de sorte à ce que les portes du véhicule 16 coïncident avec les portes des façades de quai 22 lorsque le véhicule 16 est à l'arrêt.Approaching the current platform, the
Puis le contrôleur 28 transmet au module de gestion des façades de quai 22 du quai courant la commande d'ouverture des portes des façades de quai 22. Par exemple simultanément, le contrôleur pilote l'ouverture des portes du véhicule 16.Then the
Les passagers sont alors libres de circuler entre le véhicule 16 et le quai courant.The passengers are then free to move between the
Puis, le contrôleur 28 lit dans la base de données la valeur de la durée associée au quai courant. A partir de la valeur de la durée lue et de l'horaire à respecter, le contrôleur 28 détermine le moment pour transmettre au module de gestion des façades de quai 22 du quai courant la commande de fermeture des portes et pour piloter la fermeture des portes du véhicule 16.Then, the
Le contrôleur 28 attend ensuite de recevoir le signal indiquant que les portes des façades de quai 22 du quai courant sont verrouillées en position de fermeture.The
Une fois que le signal est reçu, le contrôleur 28 pilote le départ du véhicule 16.Once the signal is received, the
Dans le second cas, le quai courant étant dépourvu de façades de quai 22, le dispositif inhibiteur 26 du quai courant est alors alimenté électriquement.In the second case, the current platform being devoid of
De fait, l'état émis par le dispositif inhibiteur 26 du quai courant prend la valeur « vrai ».In fact, the state emitted by the inhibiting device 26 of the current platform takes the value "true".
Par suite, l'encodeur radio 30 transmet une information spécifique au quai courant au contrôleur 28.As a result, the
De fait, dans le second cas, l'étape de transmission éventuelle d'une information spécifique au quai courant est mise en oeuvre et le résultat de l'étape de test 102 est O.In fact, in the second case, the step of possibly transmitting information specific to the current platform is implemented and the result of the
Lorsque le résultat de l'étape de test 102 est O et que l'information spécifique au quai courant est reçue par le contrôleur 28, le contrôleur 28 met en oeuvre le second protocole selon des étapes 104.When the result of the
Ainsi, la mise en oeuvre du premier protocole par le contrôleur 28 est inhibée par la réception de l'information spécifique au quai courant.Thus, the implementation of the first protocol by the
Dans les étapes 104, le contrôleur 28 pilote les déplacements du véhicule 16 sans attendre de recevoir le signal indiquant que les portes des façades de quai 22 du quai courant sont verrouillées en position de fermeture pour entrer en station ou pour quitter la station.In
En outre, le contrôleur 28 ne pilote pas l'arrêt du véhicule 16 à un endroit précis du quai courant et ne tient pas compte de la valeur de la durée associée dans la base de données au quai courant.In addition, the
La présente solution présente un certain nombre d'avantages.The present solution has a number of advantages.
Tout d'abord, la mise en oeuvre du procédé est la même quelle que soit la configuration de l'installation ferroviaire 10. Par « configuration de l'installation ferroviaire 10 », il est entendu la présence ou l'absence de façades de quai 22 sur les quais 20 de l'installation ferroviaire 10.Firstly, the implementation of the method is the same regardless of the configuration of the
De fait, le procédé est adapté à l'évolution de la configuration de l'installation ferroviaire 10, c'est-à-dire lors de l'installation de nouvelles façades de quai 22 ou du démontage ou d'une mise d'état hors-service de façades de quai 22 déjà installées.In fact, the method is adapted to the evolution of the configuration of the
En outre, une modification de la configuration de l'installation ferroviaire 10 ne nécessite aucune modification des contrôleurs 28 de chacun des véhicules 16. Cela présente un avantage dans le sens où, dans l'état de la technique, les contrôleurs 28 sont chacun reconfigurés au gré des modifications de la configuration de l'installation ferroviaire 10.In addition, a modification of the configuration of the
De plus, lorsque des façades de quai 22 sont installées sur un quai 20 qui en était jusqu'alors dépourvu, il suffit alors de couper l'alimentation électrique du dispositif inhibiteur 26 qui est installé sur le quai 20. En effet, le contrôleur 28 ne recevra alors plus l'information spécifique audit quai et, en outre, contient déjà dans sa base de données le jeu de données nécessaire à la mise en oeuvre du premier protocole.In addition, when
Ainsi, l'installation au fur et à mesure de façades de quai 22 est grandement facilitée.Thus, the installation as and when docking
Par ailleurs, le présent procédé est simple et peu coûteux à mettre en oeuvre puisque le procédé ne requiert que peu de modifications substantielles des instructions logicielles généralement mises en oeuvre par le contrôleur 28 et qu'une simple connexion filaire alimentée ou non est à installer au sol.Moreover, the present method is simple and inexpensive to implement since the method requires only a few substantial modifications of the software instructions generally implemented by the
Selon une première variante, les dispositifs inhibiteurs 26 installés chacun sur un quai 20 sont remplacés par un seul dispositif inhibiteur global. Dans cette variante, le dispositif inhibiteur global est par exemple une mémoire propre à mémoriser pour chaque quai 20A, 20B, 20C un état spécifique au quai.According to a first variant, the inhibitor devices 26 each installed on a platform 20 are replaced by a single overall inhibiting device. In this variant, the global inhibitor device is for example a memory adapted to store for each
Le dispositif inhibiteur global est adapté pour transmettre une information spécifique à tous les quais 20.The global inhibitory device is adapted to transmit specific information to all the platforms 20.
Ainsi, tant que les quais 20 ne sont pas tous dotés de façades de quai 22, le contrôleur 28 reçoit l'information spécifique à tous les quais 20 et, par conséquent, le contrôle 28 mettra constamment en oeuvre le second protocole.Thus, as long as the platforms 20 are not all equipped with
Dans cette première variante, l'étape de transmission d'une information spécifique à un quai est mise en oeuvre lorsque chacun des quais 20 est dépourvu de façades de quai 22.In this first variant, the step of transmitting specific information to a platform is implemented when each of the platforms 20 is devoid of
La première variante concerne le cas où chacun des quais 20 est dépourvu de façades de quai 22 et où l'opérateur de l'installation ferroviaire 10 envisage d'équiper en une seule fois tous les quais 20 de façades de quai 22.The first variant concerns the case where each of the platforms 20 is devoid of
D'autres variantes sont possibles.Other variants are possible.
Il s'agit, par exemple, de combiner le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit et la première variante. De fait, certains dispositifs inhibiteurs sont chargés de transmettre une information spécifique à au moins deux quais 20.It is, for example, to combine the embodiment described above and the first variant. In fact, certain inhibitory devices are responsible for transmitting specific information to at least two platforms 20.
