Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines mit einem CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control)-System verbundenen Schienenfahrzeugs, das über sein CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät in Kommunikationsverbindung mit einem CBTC-Streckengerät steht, das seinerseits mit einem CBTC- Stellwerk kommunikativ verbunden ist.The invention relates to a method for controlling a rail vehicle connected to a CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control) system, which is in communication with a CBTC route device via its CBTC vehicle device, which in turn is communicatively connected to a CBTC interlocking.

Aus der Druckschrift EP 1 752 355 A2 ist ein CBTC-System bekannt, bei dem ein CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät mit einem CBTC-Streckengerät kommuniziert, das seinerseits mit einem CBTC-Stellwerk kommunikativ verbunden ist. Im Fall eines Kommunikationsausfalls erfolgt nach Ablauf einer vorgegebenen Zeit eine Auflösung einer Fahrstraße.From the publication EP 1 752 355 A2 For example, a CBTC system is known in which a CBTC vehicle device communicates with a CBTC route device, which in turn is communicatively connected to a CBTC interlocking. In the case of a communication failure occurs after a predetermined time, a resolution of a route.

Außerdem ist aus der Druckschrift WO 2013/153396 A1 eine Signalarchitektur mit einem CBTC-System bekannt, bei dem im Fall eines Kommunikationsausfalls eine Wiederholung einer Fahrstraßenbildung vorgesehen ist.In addition, from the document WO 2013/153396 A1 a signal architecture with a CBTC system is known in which a repetition of a route formation is provided in the event of a communication failure.

Ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren ist beispielsweise der Internet-Veröffentlichung "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication - Based_Train_Control" zu entnehmen. Zum Durchführen dieses Verfahrens wird ein Schienenfahrzeug verwendet, das über ein CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät verfügt und über dieses Gerät in Kommunikationsbindung mit einem CBTC-Streckengerät steht. Das CBTC-Streckengerät ist mit einem CBTC-Stellwerk verbunden.A generic method, for example, the Internet publication "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication - Based_Train_Control" refer. To carry out this method, a rail vehicle is used which has a CBTC vehicle device and is in communication with a CBTC trackside device via this device. The CBTC tracker is connected to a CBTC interlocking.

Ereignet sich beim Durchführen dieses bekannten Verfahrens ein Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem Schienenfahrzeug bzw. seinem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät und dem CBTC-Streckengerät, dann wird in der Regel davon ausgegangen, dass die zum Zeitpunkt des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung vorhandene Fahrerlaubnis nicht mehr gültig ist. Das Schienenfahrzeug reagiert dann mit einer Zwangsbremsung bis zum Stillstand, was zu einer Störung des gesamten Schienenverkehrs auf der entsprechenden Strecke führt. Eine Weiterfahrt ist anschließend nur nach Auflösen der Zwangsbremse in einer Rückfallbetriebsart unter Verantwortung eines Fahrers möglich. Ist das Schienenfahrzeug ohne Fahrer unterwegs, dann muss möglichst umgehend Personal auf den Zug kommen.If, in carrying out this known method, a break in the communication connection between the rail vehicle or its CBTC vehicle device and the CBTC route device, then it is generally assumed that the existing at the time of termination of the communication link driving license is no longer valid. The rail vehicle then reacts with emergency braking to a standstill, which leads to a disruption of the entire rail traffic on the corresponding route. Continued travel is then possible only after dissolving the emergency brake in a fallback mode under the responsibility of a driver. If the rail vehicle without a driver on the road, then as soon as possible staff must come on the train.

Um diese Schwierigkeiten zu verringern hat man bisher eine hochverfügbare Kommunikationsverbindung verwendet, bei der nur selten mit einem Ausfall der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät und dem CBTC-Streckengerät zu rechnen ist. Fällt die Verbindung trotzdem aus, ist eine Weiterfahrt nur möglich, wenn die Kommunikationsverbindung wiederhergestellt wird. Bei längerem Ausfall der Kommunikationsverbindung ist eine Weiterfahrt nur manuell in einem restriktiven Modus unter Verantwortung eines Schienenfahrzeugführers möglich.In order to reduce these difficulties, hitherto a highly available communication connection has been used, in which only rarely a failure of the communication link between the CBTC vehicle unit and the CBTC distance unit is to be expected. If the connection fails anyway, it is only possible to continue driving if the communication connection is restored. In the event of a prolonged failure of the communication connection, it is only possible to continue driving manually in a restrictive mode under the responsibility of a rail vehicle driver.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs angegebenen Art so fortzuentwickeln, dass auch im Fall eines Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät und CBTC-Streckengerät der Schienenverkehr weitgehend ungestört ablaufen kann.The invention has for its object to further develop a method of the type described above so that even in the case of a termination of the communication link between CBTC vehicle unit and CBTC-distance device of the rail traffic can proceed largely undisturbed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren der eingangs angegebenen Art erfindungsgemäß von dem CBTC-Streckengerät bei einem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung ein Blockier-Kommando erzeugt und abgesendet und von dem CBTC-Stellwerk auf das empfangene Blockier-Kommando hin eine Auflösung der zum Zeitpunkt des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung vorhandenen Fahrstraßen für das Schienenfahrzeug blockiert. Dabei werden unter Fahrstraßen - wie allgemein üblich - technisch gesicherte Fahrwege verstanden.To solve this problem, a blocking command is generated and sent in a method of the type specified according to the invention by the CBTC-Streckengerät at a termination of the communication connection and from the CBTC interlocking on the received blocking command toward a resolution of the time of termination blocked the communication link existing routes for the rail vehicle. Under routes - as is common practice - technically secured routes understood.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, dass die zum Zeitpunkt eines Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung vorhandenen Fahrstraßen für das Schienenfahrzeug erhalten bleiben, weil durch das Blockier-Kommando eine Auflösung der Fahrstraßen blockiert wird. Die streckenseitige Sicherung der Fahrstraßen bleibt also auch beim Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung erhalten, so dass eine gesicherte Weiterfahrt möglich ist. Außerdem werden Zwangsbremsungen vermieden. Darüber hinaus wird die Verfügbarkeit von Schienenfahrzeugen erhöht und es werden Störungen des Fahrplans weitgehend verhindert. Hinzu kommt, dass Evakuierungen von Fahrgästen auf der Strecke kaum noch stattfinden müssen. Ferner werden die Schienenfahrzeuge geschont, da Zwangsbremsungen erheblich seltener stattfinden müssen. Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird darin gesehen, dass die angegebenen vorteilhaften Eigenschaften ohne nennenswerte Änderungen am Ablauf eines CBTC-Verfahrens erreicht werden können.A significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that the existing at the time of termination of the communication link routes for the rail vehicle are maintained because a resolution of the routes is blocked by the blocking command. The track-side securing the driveways thus remains even when the communication link is broken, so that a secure onward journey is possible. In addition, emergency braking is avoided. In addition, the availability of rail vehicles is increased and disruption of the timetable is largely prevented. In addition, evacuations of passengers on the track hardly have to take place. Furthermore, the rail vehicles are spared because forced braking must take place much less frequently. Another Advantage of the method according to the invention is seen in the fact that the stated advantageous properties can be achieved without appreciable changes to the course of a CBTC process.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird von dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät das Blockier-Kommando für die Fahrstraßen des CBTC-Stellwerks in dem Streckenabschnitt erteilt, der sich zwischen der Position des Schienenfahrzeugs zum Zeitpunkt des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung und dem Ende der vorhandenen Fahrerlaubnis erstreckt. Das Schienenfahrzeug kann somit ohne Weiteres seine Fahrt trotz des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung bis zum Ende der vorhandenen Fahrerlaubnis fortsetzen. Dabei wird unter "Fahrerlaubnis" eine Berechtigung zur Bewegung eines Schienenfahrzeugs auf einem Streckenabschnitt einer Fahrstraße bis zu einem vorgegebenen Streckenpunkt, beispielsweise einem bestimmten Signal, verstanden.In an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the blockage command for the CBTC signal boxes is issued by the CBTC vehicle unit in the section extending between the position of the rail vehicle at the time of termination of the communication connection and the end of the existing license. The rail vehicle can thus easily continue its journey despite the termination of the communication link to the end of the existing driver's license. In this case, "permission to drive" is understood as an authorization for the movement of a rail vehicle on a route section of a route up to a predetermined route point, for example a specific signal.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn von dem CBTC-Streckengerät der Streckenabschnitt als Fahrerlaubnis für das Schienenfahrzeug bei dem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung reserviert bleibt. Dies dient der besonderen Sicherheit und sorgt dafür, dass das jeweilige Schienenfahrzeug trotz Abbruchs einer Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät und dem CBTC-Streckengerät sicher geführt wird.In this context, it is also advantageous if the section of the route is reserved by the CBTC route device as a driving permission for the rail vehicle when the communication connection is terminated. This ensures a high degree of safety and ensures that the respective rail vehicle is safely guided despite the termination of a communication link between the CBTC vehicle unit and the CBTC distance unit.

In einer vorteilhaft einfachen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens nutzt das CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät die bei dem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung vorhandene Fahrerlaubnis zur Weiterfahrt des Schienenfahrzeugs.In an advantageously simple embodiment of the method according to the invention, the CBTC vehicle device uses the driver's license available during the termination of the communication connection to continue driving of the rail vehicle.

Als besonders vorteilhaft wird es in diesem Zusammenhang angesehen, wenn von dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät bei dem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung und einer einen Bahnsteig enthaltenden Fahrerlaubnis ein Halt des Schienenfahrzeugs an einem Standard-Haltepunkt am Bahnsteig mit einem Öffnen der Türen veranlasst wird. In diesem Falle ergeben sich für Fahrgäste in dem Schienenfahrzeug trotz des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen CBTC-Streckengerät und CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät keine Schwierigkeiten, das Schienenfahrzeug zu verlassen. Von einer solchen Position des Schienenfahrzeugs aus können dann weitere Maßnahmen zur Weiterbeförderung der Fahrgäste und zur Behebung der Verfahrensstörung getroffen werden.In this context, it is considered to be particularly advantageous if the CBTC vehicle unit stops the communication connection and a driving license containing a platform by stopping the rail vehicle at a standard stopping point on the platform with an opening of the doors is initiated. In this case, passengers in the rail vehicle experience no difficulties in leaving the rail vehicle, despite the termination of the communication link between the CBTC trackside device and the CBTC vehicle device. From such a position of the rail vehicle can then be taken further measures to further transport the passengers and to remedy the procedural fault.

Es kann aber auch vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Fahrerlaubnis und die Fahrstraßen jeweils möglichst bis in den nächsten Bahnsteig oder andernfalls bis direkt hinter ein voranfahrendes Schienenfahrzeug ausgedehnt werden, weil dann noch flexibler das Ende der Weiterfahrt des Schienenfahrzeugs gewählt werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann auch mit relativ großer Wahrscheinlichkeit verhindert werden, das Schienenfahrzeug bei einem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät und CBTC-Streckengerät auf der Strecke liegen bleibt und nicht den nächsten Bahnhof erreichen kann.However, it may also be advantageous if the driving license and the routes are extended as far as possible to the next platform or otherwise directly behind a preceding rail vehicle, because then even more flexible the end of the onward journey of the rail vehicle can be selected. In this way, it can be prevented with relatively high probability that the rail vehicle remains in the event of a termination of the communication link between CBTC vehicle device and CBTC route device on the route and can not reach the nearest station.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht nicht nur die weitgehend ungestörte Weiterfahrt eines Schienenfahrzeugs trotz eines Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem CBTC-Streckengerät und dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät in Form eines Ausfalls dieser Kommunikationsverbindung, sondern bietet auch die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, die Kommunikationsverbindung von vornherein nur streckenabschnittsweise bereit zu stellen. So kann beispielsweise bei schwierigen topologischen Verhältnissen beim Bauen von Gleisstrecken bewusst streckenabschnittweise auf das Bereitstellen von Kommunikationsverbindungen verzichtet werden.The inventive method not only allows the largely undisturbed continuation of travel of a rail vehicle despite a termination of the communication link between the CBTC device and the CBTC vehicle device in the form of a failure of this communication connection, but also offers the advantageous possibility to provide the communication link from the outset only stretched sections , Thus, for example, in difficult topological conditions when building track sections, it is possible deliberately to dispense with the provision of communication links in sections.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich ferner auf ein CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control)-System mit mindestens einem Schienenfahrzeug, das über sein CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät in Kommunikationsbindung mit einem CBTC-Streckengerät steht, das seinerseits mit einem CBTC- Stellwerk kommunikativ verbunden ist.The invention further relates to a CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control) system having at least one rail vehicle communicating with a CBTC route device via its CBTC vehicle device, which in turn is communicatively connected to a CBTC interlocking.

Um ausgehend von dem oben angegebenen Stand der Technik ein solches System so auszugestalten, dass es bei einem Ausfall der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät des Schienenfahrzeugs und einem CBTC-Streckengerät nicht zu nachhaltigen Störungen des Schienenverkehrs kommt, ist erfindungsgemäß das CBTC-Streckengerät derart ausgebildet ist, dass es bei einem Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung ein Blockier-Kommando erzeugt und absendet; das CBTC-Stellwerk ist derart ausgeführt, dass es auf das empfangene Blockier-Kommando eine Auflösung der zum Zeitpunkt des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung vorhandenen Fahrstraßen blockiert.In order to design such a system based on the above-mentioned prior art such that failure of the communication link between the CBTC vehicle device of the rail vehicle and a CBTC route device does not lead to sustained disruptions of the rail traffic, the CBTC route device is configured in accordance with the invention is that it generates and sends a blocking command in the event of termination of the communication connection; the CBTC interlocking is designed in such a way that it blocks, on the received blocking command, a resolution of the routes existing at the time of termination of the communication link.

Damit lassen sich sinngemäß dieselben Vorteile erreichen, wie sie oben im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren aufgeführt sind.Thus, the same advantages can be achieved analogously, as they are listed above in connection with the method according to the invention.

Als vorteilhaft wird es angesehen, wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen System erfindungsgemäß das CBTC-Streckengerät derart ausgeführt ist, dass es das Blockier-Kommando für die Fahrstraßen in dem Streckenabschnitt erteilt, der sich zwischen der Position des Schienenfahrzeugs zum Zeitpunkt des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung und dem Ende der vorhandenen Fahrerlaubnis erstreckt. Das erfindungsgemäße System lässt es somit zu, dass das Schienenfahrzeug ohne Weiteres seine Fahrt trotz des Abbruchs der Kommunikationsverbindung bis zum Ende der vorhandenen Fahrerlaubnis fortsetzen kann.It is regarded as advantageous if, in the system according to the invention, the CBTC route device is designed in such a way that it issues the blocking command for the routes in the route segment that is between the position of the rail vehicle at the time of termination of the communication connection and the end the existing license extends. The system according to the invention thus makes it possible for the rail vehicle to easily continue its journey despite the termination of the communication connection until the end of the existing driving license.

Vorteilhaft erscheint es ferner, wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen System das CBTC-Streckengerät derart ausgebildet ist, dass es den Streckenabschnitt als Fahrstraße für das Schienenfahrzeug reserviert.It also appears to be advantageous if, in the system according to the invention, the CBTC route device is designed such that it reserves the route section as a route for the rail vehicle.

Ferner wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn das CBTC-Streckengerät derart ausgebildet ist, dass es bei einer einen Bahnhof enthaltenden Fahrstraße einen Halt des Schienenfahrzeugs an einem Standard-Haltepunkt mit einem Öffnen der Türen veranlasst. Von einer solchen Position des Schienenfahrzeugs aus können dann weitere Maßnahmen zur Weiterbeförderung der Fahrgäste und zur Behebung der Systemstörung getroffen werden.Furthermore, it is considered advantageous if the CBTC route device is designed such that it causes a stop of the rail vehicle at a standard breakpoint with an opening of the doors in a driveway containing a station. From such a position of the rail vehicle from then further measures for the further transport of Passengers and to rectify the system malfunction.

Zur optimalen Ausschöpfung der Möglichkeiten, die das erfindungsgemäße System bietet, ist das CBTC-Streckengerät derart ausgeführt, dass es die Bildung der Fahrstraße und der Fahrerlaubnis jeweils bis zu dem nächsten Bahnsteig oder direkt hinter ein voranfahrendes Schienenfahrzeug ausdehnt.In order to make optimal use of the possibilities offered by the system according to the invention, the CBTC route device is designed such that it extends the formation of the route and the license in each case to the next platform or directly behind a preceding rail vehicle.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen System ist die Kommunikationsverbindung vorteilhafterweise eine Funkverbindung oder eine Verbindung über Linienleiter oder über Gleisstromkreise.In the system according to the invention, the communication connection is advantageously a radio link or a connection via line conductors or over track circuits.

Ferner wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn zwischen dem CBTC-Streckengerät und dem CBTC-Stellwerk eine weitere Kommunikationsverbindung als eine Draht- und oder Funkverbindung vorhanden ist.Furthermore, it is considered advantageous if there is a further communication connection between the CBTC route device and the CBTC interlocking as a wire and / or radio connection.

Auch kann bei dem erfindungsgemäßen System das CBTC-Stellwerk mit dem CBTC-Streckengerät unter Bildung einer integrierten Einheit verbunden sein.
Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung ist in der Figur ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines funkgestützten CBTC-Systems mit einem Schienenfahrzeug dargestellt.Also, in the system according to the invention, the CBTC interlocking can be connected to the CBTC tracker to form an integrated unit.
To further illustrate the invention, an embodiment of a radio-based CBTC system with a rail vehicle is shown in the figure.

Die Figur zeigt schematisch ein Schienenfahrzeug 1, das mit einem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät 2 ausgerüstet ist. Das CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät 2 enthält in nicht dargestellter Weise einen Bordrechner und einen Sender/Empfänger. Von diesem Sender werden in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über eine Kommunikationsverbindung in Form einer Funkverbindung 3 Signale zu einem CBTC-Streckengerät 4 übertragen. Das CBTC-Streckengerät 4 ist über eine weitere Kommunikationsverbindung 5 mit einem CBTC-Stellwerk 6 verbunden.The figure shows schematically a rail vehicle 1, which is equipped with a CBTC vehicle device 2. The CBTC vehicle device 2 includes in a manner not shown an on-board computer and a transmitter / receiver. In the exemplary embodiment shown, signals from this transmitter are transmitted to a CBTC route device 4 via a communication link in the form of a radio link 3. The CBTC route device 4 is connected via a further communication link 5 to a CBTC interlocking 6.

Tritt ein Abbruch der Kommunikationsverbindung durch einen Ausfall der Funkverbindung 3 zwischen dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät 2 und dem CBTC-Streckengerät 4 auf, dann wird dies von dem CBTC-Streckengerät 4 erkannt. Es wird von dem CBTC-Streckengerät 4 ein Blockier-Kommando BK erzeugt und über die Funkverbindung 5 zu dem CBTC-Stellwerk 6 übertragen. Auf das empfangene Blockier-Kommando BK hin blockiert das CBTC-Stellwerk 6 eine Auflösung der zum Zeitpunkt des Ausfalls der Funkverbindung 3 vorhandenen Fahrstraßen FS. Das Schienenfahrzeug 1 kann sich somit trotz Ausfalls der Funkverbindung 3 gemäß der vor Ausfall der Funkverbindung 3 an einem Streckenpunkt 7 erteilten Fahrerlaubnis FE weiter bewegen.If an abort of the communication link occurs due to a failure of the radio link 3 between the CBTC vehicle unit 2 and the CBTC distance unit 4, then this is done by the CBTC tracker 4 detected. A blocking command BK is generated by the CBTC route device 4 and transmitted via the radio link 5 to the CBTC interlocking 6. In response to the received blocking command BK, the CBTC interlocking 6 blocks a resolution of the routes FS present at the time of the failure of the radio link 3. The rail vehicle 1 can thus continue to move in spite of failure of the radio link 3 in accordance with the prior to failure of the radio link 3 at a route point 7 granted driving license FE.

Um eine Weiterfahrt des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 streckenmäßig einzuschränken, kann das CBTC-Streckengerät 4 das Blockier-Kommando BK für nur einen Streckenabschnitt SA der eingestellten Fahrstraße FS erteilen. Nimmt man an, dass sich die aktuelle Fahrstraße FS des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 vom Streckenpunkt 7 bis zu einem Streckenpunkt 8 und die Fahrerlaubnis vom Streckenpunkt 7 bis zu einem Streckenpunkt 9, und geht man davon aus, dass sich der Abbruch der Funkverbindung 3 zu dem Zeitpunkt ereignet hat, zu dem sich das Schienenfahrzeug 1 in der dargestellten Position befand, dann erstreckt sich der Streckenabschnitt SA von der Position des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 zum Zeitpunkt des Ausfalls der Funkverbindung 3 bis zum Ende der erteilten Fahrerlaubnis FE, also bis zum Streckenpunkt 9. Liegt vor dem Ende der eingestellten Fahrstraße ein Bahnhof, dann wird von dem CBTC-Fahrzeuggerät 2 ein Halt des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 an einem Standard-Haltepunkt und ein Öffnen der Türen des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 veranlasst.In order to limit further travel of the rail vehicle 1, the CBTC route device 4 can issue the blocking command BK for only one route section SA of the set travel route FS. Assuming that the current travel road FS of the rail vehicle 1 is from the waypoint 7 to a waypoint 8 and the driving permission from the waypoint 7 to a waypoint 9, and it is assumed that the termination of the radio link 3 occurs at the time has, to which the rail vehicle 1 was in the position shown, then the stretch section SA extends from the position of the rail vehicle 1 at the time of failure of the radio link 3 to the end of the issued driving license FE, ie to the waypoint 9 At the end of the set driveway, a station is then caused by the CBTC vehicle unit 2 to stop the rail vehicle 1 at a standard stopping point and to open the doors of the rail vehicle 1.
