Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for autonomous tracking and disposition of freight cars using satellite positioning and sensors. This method is particularly used in railways where goods wagons that transport goods across national borders travel.
  • the satellite positioning device it is possible to track or monitor the transport of freight wagons on routes of the European railways at short notice without incurring assembly work on the vehicle.
  • the satellite tracking device itself is attached to the anti-theft device fixed to the freight car at one of the respective freight wagon design suitable location so that there is a clear view to the sky, and is thus car component.
  • Claims 2 to 21 and 23 to 31 include advantageous embodiments of the inventive solution of claim 1 and 22, respectively.
  • a reference transport plan (RTP) stored in a database describes the entire route of the freight car from the point of departure to the destination and gives the satellite location device the time / distance information in the form of geo-coordinates (location information), time of the next measurement (time information, as delta between two Measurements, data in minutes), sensor configuration etc. It was previously agreed with the customer individually or corresponds to the regular transport plan of the railways.
  • the satellite positioning device recognizes the start either independently by vibration sensor and / or in conjunction with leaving the blur area or by entering the relevant customer order in the regular order entry systems in the Customer Service Center (KSZ).
  • the alarm triggering can be influenced within wide limits depending on the customer's wishes, since the satellite locating device compares in the following measurements whether it reaches the measuring point at the specified time T1 or currently T2 in the direction of has left the destination. If the measurement is within the blur range, no message is triggered, thus saving energy and communication costs; the measured data are nevertheless recorded in the internal ring buffer (processor memory unit). Ideally, a single end-of-timetable message will be delivered when arriving at the destination on time, including the full run history of the car with all measurement results. The maximum number of characters that can be transmitted within an SMS (Short Message Service) is always utilized, which in turn saves communication costs (primarily roaming charges abroad).
  • SMS Short Message Service
  • the satellite tracking device for each existing sensor type, the alarm treatment (immediately, later, only load or the like) are assigned individually.
  • the message for example, of an untimely door opening of a freight car loaded with cigarettes is typically always displayed immediately and, with its relevant data, can also be forwarded immediately to a police station.
  • the satellite tracking device Upon arrival at the destination, the satellite tracking device always goes into sleep mode to save energy.
  • the satellite positioning device can additionally or alternatively be configured to perform a localization and to report at fixed time intervals independently of the loading status of the carriage (active mode).
  • an up-to-date location is always available in the database and can either be viewed by the customer on demand via the Internet or for internal purposes such as e.g. Disposition of the empty freight car to be used by the fleet manager.
  • the invention that after arrival at the destination the discharge is monitored (loading period) and the status change loaded / empty is reported. If defined deviations are exceeded (time, location, status the sensor) an alarm is triggered.
  • the satellite positioning device automatically recognizes the need for a status message to minimize telecommunications costs.
  • the control center consists of the communication and application server as well as the database.
  • the software is developed for the special processes of rail transport and allows a largely automated monitoring and disposition of the freight wagon fleet.
  • the communication server is the central interface between the application server and the communication provider. It makes the incoming messages available to the application server in a defined format and conversely converts the messages of the application server into the format expected by the communications provider.
  • the communication server makes the received SMS available to the application server as text and transfers the texts received from the application server to the communications provider as SMS.
  • the communication server stores the incoming and outgoing SMS messages in the database.
  • the satellite servers are configured and managed via the application server. Based on the user preferences, the application server generates the content of the messages to the satellite tracking devices. Furthermore, the application server can determine reference schedules for further transports of the same relation on the basis of transports already carried out.
  • the application server displays the received alarms and messages to the user in the appropriate form. It offers extensive possibilities for evaluating the stored information.
  • the application server manages the master data, the order data, and the reference schedules generated externally and by the application server itself, and transfers static data, order data, and external reference schedules from supplied files. Receiving the current location report of a freight car - especially abroad - is useful on its own Little, if not clear at the same time, where he should be on schedule, the classic target / actual comparison based on known timetable data.
  • the principle has been pursued according to the invention, at the source of information generation, the locating device on freight wagons, set to avoid unnecessary energy and, above all, communication costs causing messages.
  • the monitoring of the transport takes place in the terminals themselves, messages only occur if defined deviations from the transport process occur.
  • the software was enabled to learn deviations in the course of transport and in the future to interpret as correct. She is even in a position to set this not only on the relation alone, but also depending on different days of the road.
  • the software recognizes that several freight wagons are merged with the same order ie the same route / destination in a freight train and logically run in satellite tracking device on the freight car each causing the same energy and communication costs activities. In this case, only two satellite tracking devices are activated, and precisely those with the highest energy reserve. This intelligent data management can reduce communication costs by more than 50%.
  • a largely automated DV support provides particularly advantageous for communication and processing of the data.
  • the previously focused on the monitoring of the loaded freight car mode means that after reaching the planned goal of the monitoring order completed and the satellite positioning device is put into sleep mode.
  • the satellite positioning device is caused by configuration to detect the status change of the sensor from loaded to empty.
  • the message triggered by this causes the dispatching module of the control room software to take the freight wagon as reusable and either to link it once with the daily batch run - similar to the logic of the national empty wagon management - with known requirements and deliver it to a new destination abroad or empty it to return home.
  • Re-loading orders avoid the payment of RIV rent (International Rail Agreement on user charges for the duration of a freight car's stay on the foreign network) while at the same time increasing the productivity of the freight wagon.
  • RIV rent International Rail Agreement on user charges for the duration of a freight car's stay on the foreign network
  • the freight cars are equipped with a distance sensor, which operates in particular on ultrasound basis, which determines from the comparison of the distance car body top rail in conjunction with the known, car-typical deflection, whether the freight car is loaded or empty; he sits in particular at the end of a protective tube under the car body next to the bogie.
  • a flat element in particular a flat iron, is attached to the protective tube in such a way that it lies within the ultrasound radiation range and is recognizable and thus forms a fixed reference distance to the measured distance from the upper edge of the rail.
  • the satellite positioning device determines the distance to the upper edge of the rail, compensating tolerances in future measurements.
  • the measurement accuracy significantly. Furthermore, used for the transport of theft goods good sliding wall wagon are mainly provided the type Hb with reed relays as door sensors that detect unauthorized openings during transport and allow immediate disclosure of information in the way described in claim 2 to the respective security services of the European railways.
  • Knowledge of the current weight of a freight wagon is essential to the safety of the railway operation and not least a criterion for freight calculation.
  • To accelerate on the one hand internal operations at the customer and on the other hand of the railway transport itself provides the possibility of weighing the freight car by sensors under the rolling wheel i. without any delay due to an intermediate weighing process high commercial benefit and increases the productivity of the freight car by accelerating its orbit frequency.
  • the satellite positioning device From the measured values of strain gauges attached to both bogies or to the longitudinal or transverse girder of the wagon body, the satellite positioning device forms an average value and reports the weight determined in particular to be accurate for further processing in the production and order processing systems of the logistics company.
  • Other sensors e.g. For temperature measurement of cargo in tank wagons, pressure measurements of the cargo in tank wagons, filling level indicator of tanks or functionality of generators in refrigerated trucks can be connected to the standard existing sensor interfaces.
  • the logistics company offers a Tracking & Tracing Service for customers and a loading space exchange for dispatchers.
  • Authorized customers can access the current location data of all active as well as closed orders via an access portal via the Internet at any time either by specifying the wagon or the associated order number in list form or graphically deposited; if desired also as expression. Visible, however, are only the location information as determined above and agreed with the customer. Should the customer currently wish a location information, he has the instrument of Pollingabfrage available and he has the ability to change the future reporting and working behavior by changing the configuration of the satellite positioning device. Since these actions are costly (communication costs and energy consumption), the inputs are recorded and the operating costs are billed.
  • the location of one or more freight cars can be displayed graphically.
  • the software selects the map section in particular so that all requested carriage locations are visible at the same time.
  • An energy balance calculation of the satellite positioning device is based on the following basic assumption:
  • the satellite positioning device books in particular hourly to query messages in the GSM network, in particular four times a day, i. every 6 hours, its current position and informs it in particular twice daily of the control center.
  • all components are designed to save energy, so that the entire unit - the satellite tracking device - its power supply self-sufficient over a period of at least six years (maintenance cycle of the freight car) ensures without having to approach or replace a charging point for charging the battery.
  • the geo-coordinates determined by GPS are supplemented by further information such as sensor technology via the GSM network or in the absence of network coverage transmitted via communication satellites such as Orbcomm to the communication server of the control center; In the opposite way, information about the transport order is transmitted to the satellite positioning device in order to trigger the event and interval management according to the invention in the device.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a system consisting of permanently welded to the freight car satellite locating device 1, the position determination using the GPS, the detection of information with additional sensors of FIG. 2 and a data transmission with SMS via GSM or alternatively via satellite modem via Communication satellites such as Orbcomm to a communication provider 2 enable.
  • the communication provider provides the data transmitted by the satellite positioning device, from where they are transmitted by leased line to the communication server 3.
  • the application server 4 interprets the data transmitted by the communication server into the database management system, assigns them to orders, interprets the positions geographically, alerts employees when intervention needs are needed, and provides geographically prepared protocols.
  • the database management system 5 serves as a common repository for data in the communication server and in the application server.
  • the application server 4 allows the configuration of the satellite positioning devices with order-specific parameters, which are transmitted via the communication server 3 via a leased line to the communications provider 2.
  • the communications provider 2 forwards this configuration message as an SMS to the satellite positioning device 1.
  • the communication server is the central interface between the application server and the communication provider. It makes the incoming messages available to the application server in a defined format and conversely converts the messages of the application server into the format expected by the communications provider.
