Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a train protection system and a module for a light signal for train protection according to the preamble of patent claims 1 and 8, respectively.
  • ETCS is differentiated in different equipment levels or functional levels - so-called levels.
  • the definition of the level depends on how the track is equipped and how information is transferred to the train. In principle, the driver's license and the corresponding route information is transmitted to the train and displayed to the locomotive driver in the driver's cab.
  • FIG. 1 the basic arrangement of balancing groups of the ETCS / Eurobalise system arranged at the waypoints is shown in front of a light signal 1.
  • the light signal 1 is equipped with modules 6 for emitting light.
  • the reference numeral D the direction of travel of a train 10 is indicated.
  • a balise group at the waypoints includes at least two balises 2.
  • Balsons 2 may be embodied as fixed date balises always transmitting the same telegrams or as controllable transparent balises.
  • Transparent balises transmit the content, which is a signal concept, of a telegram originating from an adapter LEU to a vehicle 10.
  • the at least paired arrangement of balises 2 in balise groups is required in order to pass through a fixed identifier in a telegram the direction of travel D of the crossing train 10 to recognize.
  • the light signal 1 as well as the transparent balises 2 receive the information from a LEU 3.
  • a leakage cable 5 is connected via a loop modem 4 to the LEU 3.
  • an antenna 15 On the traction vehicle 10 is an antenna 15 which is coupled to an ETCS receiving unit 14.
  • the telegrams 30 received in the ETCS receiving unit 14 are evaluated by the vehicle computer 11 for the train protection such as speed monitoring, etc.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a train protection system and a module for installation in a light signal, which in a much simpler way for trains with lower maximum speed also provide continuous information transfer between the track and the vehicle.
  • the present invention allows for continuous information transfer, so-called “infill", without the need for a sophisticated leaked cable technique such as e.g. Euroloop must be endeavored.
  • the functionality of the system ETCS remains with the invention.
  • the particular optical coupling ensures that the RFID tag always receives the correct signal concept.
  • FIG. 1 Train protection system with the essential components according to the standards of ETCS
  • FIG. 3 Representation of the reception situation in lane change operation
  • FIG. 4 Presentation of the message sequence between route, vehicle and RFID tag at the light signal
  • FIG. 2 shows against the FIG. 1 Representation of the known state of the art - the essential components of the present train control system according to the invention:
  • a light signal 1 is connected directly to the signal box 9.
  • LED modules 6 a corresponding number of modules 6 'are mounted in the light signal 1 in a chamber 18 of the light signal 1.
  • These modules 6 'contain an active RFID tag and an LED module in the manner of the LED module 6 of the known design.
  • An RFID read / write unit 13 is mounted on the vehicle 10 for bidirectional communication with the RFID tags 7 on the signal 1.
  • this RFID read / write unit 13 will be simply called an RFID receiver 13 or a receiver 13 for short
  • the trackside equipment comprises a fixed data balancing group with two fixed data balises 2.
  • a mapping unit 12 is connected to the traction vehicle 1 with the RFID receiver 13, the ETCS receiving unit 14 and the vehicle computer 11.
  • the fixed data beacon 2 contains a reference Sig Ref to the coming light signal 1.
  • the information 31 transmitted by an LED module 6 'to the RFID receiver 13 also contains a further reference Sig Ref' of the relevant signal in a field.
  • the two references Sig Ref and Sig Ref ' are first compared with one another in the mapping unit 12. This comparison is particularly required for multi-track sections.
  • This problem is the FIG. 3 refer to.
  • the RFID receiver 13 receives not only RFID information units 31 from the signals 1 of a parallel track 8, but also signals 1 provided for the inverse direction of travel D '. This differentiation of the direction of travel is made in the ETCS system by arranging two balises. This distinction is also required for the practice of the present invention.
  • the information unit 31 has at least the structure shown in Table 1. Table 1: Structure of an information unit 31 RFID tag -> RFID receiver Sig Ref ' Number of chambers Kammer_ID status .. .. CRC
  • the signal reference Sigref stored in a balise 2 has the same structure for the relevant signal 1.
  • the Kammer_ID is associated with a color (red, yellow, green), but this is not sufficient for the formation of a signal term, see a representation of a pre-signal according to the FIG. 3 :
  • the upper two lamps are yellow, the lower ones are green. Between yellow yellow (next main signal shows HALT) and green green (next main signal shows free travel with the maximum permissible line speed), other terms are possible with a combination of yellow and green.
  • These combinations are transmitted to the traction vehicle 1 via the RFID information unit 31 in accordance with the optical signaling with color and arrangement, eg number of chambers.
  • FIG. 4 is the timing of information transfer to a traction unit 1 exemplified.
  • fixed data balises 2 as well as transparent balises 2 are provided on the trackside.
  • the correspondingly transmitted information units 30 are identified as 30 fixed and 30 transparent .
  • embodiments with only the more cost-effective fixed data balises 2 are conceivable.
  • the temporal sequence t and the movement D of a traction vehicle 10 is the continuous, possibly quasi-continuous information transmission with telegrams 31 of a light signal 1 with modules 6 'clearly distinguishable from the pointwise transmission of telegrams 30 from a balise 2 to the traction vehicle 10.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B each show a possible coupling to the RFID tag 7.
  • a module 6 'with an LED lamp 17 is mounted in a chamber 18 of the light signal 1, a module 6 'with an LED lamp 17 is mounted.
  • the chamber 18 is in itself suitable for compatibility reasons to accommodate a conventional light source.
  • a photodiode which detects the lighting state of the LED lamp 17 and reports via a return 21 to the current control 16, the luminous state of the LED lamp 17. From the current control 16, this state can also be transmitted back to the interlocking.
  • the current control 16 receives the lighting state from the work station 9 via the lamp circuit 19.
  • the RFID tag can now obtain the luminous state from the lamp circuit 19, see the illustration in FIG FIG. 5A , In another embodiment, this luminous state is supplied to the RFID tag 7 from the so-called filament circuit 20.
