Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatic train report for railways for detecting, displaying and relaying operational information within any multiple interlocking districts railway network. Starting from the aim of the invention to increase the reliability of the train traffic and to comprehensively automate the train reporting procedure with the help of EDP, the railway personnel are provided with extensive information for the dispositive decision. According to the invention, this is achieved in that in a designated area of a railway all hotlines are equipped with an automatic Zugmeldestelle and these are connected to each other via a transmission network. According to a further feature of the invention further Bdl supervisory agencies as well as a monitoring center can be connected to the transmission network and supplied with the necessary messages. The automatic toll booths are composed of a flow control, a viewing device, an input keyboard, a printer and a logic unit for the adoption of interlocking criteria, which are connected via lines. Instead of the printer, it is also possible to use a device for data storage on a data carrier that can be evaluated by machine. The train registration offices are connected via a transmission network, which ensures the necessary exchange of information. When a train first appears in a railway area equipped in this way, a train number including an additional tag is entered into the sequence control by means of an input keyboard. By process information from belonging to an automatic Zugmeldestelle security system once entered train message is modeled according to the course of the train and simultaneously displayed on the screen. It will be transferred to this Zugmeldestelle in the direction of the adjacent Zugmeldestelle and replicated as above, checked and displayed again. Before such a forwarding and display, as well as in all manual input treatments, the messages are checked for their technological and technical significance. If such a test result is negative, a corresponding operator advice is issued and the message is not further processed. Fig. 1

Description

The automatic toll booths are made up of a sequence control, a visual display unit, an input unit, a Printer and a logic unit for the adoption of interlocking criteria together, which via lines for the Information exchange are connected. Instead of the printer can also be a device for data storage on a machine evaluable disk

be used.

The train registration offices are connected via a transmission network, which ensures the necessary exchange of information. When a train first appears in a railway area equipped in this way, a train number is included

an additional indicator entered using the input keyboard in the flow control. By process information from the security system associated with an automatic ticketing point, the train entry once entered is simulated in accordance with the course of the train's course in the sequence and simultaneously displayed on the screen. She will join

Continue to drive in the direction of the neighboring Zugmeldestelle to this hotline and so automatically recorded there and

as previously reproduced, checked and displayed again.

Before such a forwarding and display as well as in all manual input treatments, the messages

with regard to their technological and technical significance. If such a check result is negative, a corresponding operator prompt is issued and the message is not further processed.

embodiment The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 shows the block diagram of the method according to the invention. The procedure for displaying and relaying train reports covers any area of a railway,

consisting of stations and branching points with their signal boxes to the train control, each connected by

Streckengleise. These signal boxes, designated as hotlines, are equipped as automatic train registration points, consisting of a Sequence control 2, a viewing device 3, an input keyboard 4, a printer 5 and a logic unit 6. Die Sequence control 2 is realized by a microcomputer. Instead of the printer 5, a device for Data storage can be used on a machine-readable data carrier. Bdl supervisory offices 12 for further on-train contributing posts are only with a flow control 2, a Viewing device 3 and an input keyboard 4 equipped. All hotlines are connected via a transmission network 1. In addition to the train reports as the main information of train tracking, both within the range of Zugmeldestelle as well as between the Zugmeldestellen, further information are those for the Zugfolgeregelung

are crucial, displayed in the display device 3 and processed in the flow control 2 as well as registered by the printer 5.

The range of influence of a Zugmeldestelle divided into track sections, is schematically, the topology according to the Viewing device 3 shown. The display and forwarding of the train messages takes place by the train number of each train at its first Occurring in such a equipped railway area using the input keyboard 4 manually entered into the system and

then automatically, triggered by driving on track switching means of the railway safety systems, weitetweschaltetwird. The train reports are, depending on the allocation of the track sections within the influence of the automatic

Notification Office, in the display sections assigned to the track sections. As far as the track rails between the automatic hotlines are concerned, the train messages in the two

shown adjacent credit points.

The latter are used to exchange information between the neighboring Zugmeldestellen in particular for the information of

neighboring Zugmeldestelle about the trains driving towards them. In addition to the automatic messages are in certain

Cases also manual messages for train run control replaced. The status of the track sections with regard to certain conditions of use is done manually with the aid of the input keyboard 4

entered, checked for obviousness and displayed on the display device 3 and, if necessary, also printed out and also transmitted to corresponding automatic hotlines for simultaneous processing.

In the sequence control 2, the automatically formed and manually entered messages as well as those of

Corresponding automatic hotlines received messages regarding their technological and technical sense. Due to the constant and variable data contained in the sequence control 2, corresponding operator instructions are output in the event of inconsequentialities in the automatic reporting office and in the case of discrepancies between corresponding automatic message points.

The constant data describe the topology of the mapped area of influence as well as the predefined functioning of the

automatic registration office. The variable data includes all variable information of the process flow, i. H. the

Information about the trains in the area of influence as well as the current operating conditions of the in the Sequence control simulated systems in the sphere of influence of the automatic hotline. With the aid of the train message displayed on the sighting device 3, it is possible to pass through the train located in a track section

its train number can be identified with the first digit of the train number being an additional identifier. This

Additional label characterizes important features both for the identification of the train and for its treatment

in the train notification procedure between the Zugmeldestellen.

To support the test functions, the automatic train registration offices 11 are enabled to actively increase the usability of the Transmission system and the operational state of the necessary for the operation of communication partners

determine. On the basis of this information, the operator is given information on the availability of his technique and, through appropriate modifications of the sequence control 2, the conspicuousness tests are made available to the currently possible degree

Usage adapted. In addition, the operator is given the opportunity through special dialogues due to To simulate faults that do not occur, to log messages in the train logbook and to use the automatic procedure in the logbook

own Zugmeldestelle 11 maintain. The same is possible for partial failures within the own Zugmeldestelle 11, as far as the information retrieval from the track switching means of the security technology is concerned.
