Problems solved by technology

[0014] Nevertheless, the manual operation of switching to "hibernation" mode reveals a number of disadvantages
The placement of said slabs is a long process and either requires team work at a time when the level of traffic between the two trains is low or the track is blocked and therefore rail traffic blocked
In addition, either because the track is in a mountainous area, or because the track is far from all roads, it is not always easy to approach the beacon machine, and such an approach would pose a danger to personnel
Finally, physically preventing the sending of signaling messages is not a reliable solution, because if the board is stolen, there is no longer any means to prevent the beacon from sending signaling messages to the on-board unit mounted on the vehicle running on the track
[0015] Furthermore, when the beacons have to switch to "send" mode, this is performed manually: a worker must approach each beacon to remove the metal plate, with the same disadvantages as switching to sleep mode

Embodiment Construction

[0038] The beacon machine according to the present invention is in figure 1 and figure 2 is schematically shown in . exist figure 1 Among them, the beacon machine 1 is placed along the transport track 4 , and the vehicle 3 with the on-board communication device 5 running on it can send an activation signal S1 to the beacon machine 1 . When the beacon 1 operates in the “send” mode, it returns a signaling signal S2 carrying a signaling message M to the vehicle communication device 5 .

[0039] The beaconing machine 1 can be configured as many times as required by the configuration means 2 over time, to switch to "sleep" mode or back to "send" mode. figure 2 A beacon 1 is schematically illustrated being configured by a configuration device 2 placed on a vehicle 3'. When approaching a beacon (whose location is known geographically), the configuration means 2 transmit a configuration signal SC containing a configuration message MC capable of configuring the beacon into a "s...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a communication balise and an associated configuration device. The balise is used for Remote transmission of signaling message to a vehicle-mounted communication device on the vehicle, the balise comprises: a component for receiving a first signal carrying with indication message sent from the vehicle-mounted communication device; a component for sending the signal carrying with signaling message to the communication device; at least an information storing component; and a control component capable of determining at least one parameter of the received configured signal so as to control the sending of the signal carrying with the singaling message.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a balise for remote transmission of signaling messages, designed to be placed along a railway track to communicate with an on-board communication device or configuration device of a vehicle traveling on the railway track. The beacon machine includes components for receiving an activation signal originating from a vehicle-mounted communication device, components for sending a signaling signal carrying a signaling message to the vehicle-mounted communication device, at least one information storage component, and an information storage component capable of The control part that saves data in. Background technique [0002] Beacons are known to be placed along transport tracks and to be able to remotely communicate signaling information to and from on-board communication devices on transport vehicles, eg a maximum speed limit that must not be exceeded. [0003] There are several types of beacons, each individually adapted ...
