Embodiment Construction

[0020] image 3 Indicates an alarm system based on transponder / reader technology. The railway locomotive 4 is equipped with an RFID transmitter / receiver 9 which continuously emits RFID signals. It works in conjunction with RFID transmitter / receivers 10 that are temporarily installed on the line near persons at risk 2 as needed. When the railway vehicle 4 approaches the RFID transmitter / receiver 10 on the line, the received RFID signal is passed via the evaluation device 11 to the signal transmitter 8, which is used to warn the person 2 by sound and / or light. Conversely, the RFID signal transmitted from the RFID transmitter / receiver 10 on the line is transmitted to the RFID transmitter / receiver 9 on the railway locomotive 4 as an alarm or a braking command.

[0021] Figure 4 means press image 3 The configuration is a functional extension. An RFID transmitter / receiver 10 on the line and a modified evaluation device 11' are used here to enable individual warning of persons. ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the detection of approaching rail vehicles (4) on the track side for the purpose of warning persons (2) or groups of persons, characterized in that RFID (radio frequency identification) signals which are continuously emitted on the vehicle side are received on the track side and are evaluated with regard to their potential danger and / or that RFID signals are generated on the track side and are received by the person to be warned (2) via individual-bound RFID receivers in the event of danger.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting an approaching railway locomotive on a track and giving an alarm to personnel, and corresponding equipment. Background technique [0002] The safety and health protection of persons who have to stay in the danger zone of railway locomotive tracks in order to work is of great importance. On the grounds of Deutschen Bahn AG alone, around 3,000 construction sites for trackwork and track repair work run daily. In addition to human error, the unreliability of generating and detecting the audible and / visual alarm signals that should prompt people to leave the danger zone is also an important cause of accidents. Unlike automobiles, of course, railway locomotives cannot be derailed and their braking travels are extremely long and difficult to estimate, resulting in a high risk. In addition, due to the relatively low noise level of contemporary railway locomotives, it can be difficult to detect them by sound, es...
