Problems solved by technology

Since individual stations (such as parking spots or railway stations) usually have several secure sections, this results in a large number of transponders required overall and the considerable costs associated therewith
Furthermore, shunting rails or parking rails often provide too little space for TAO transponders and TAB transponders
[0019] Another disadvantage is that a rail vehicle can mistakenly obtain a permit when it is driven away from a safe section, but the section control center believes that the rail vehicle is still in a safe section

Embodiment Construction

[0059] The invention proposes the concept of implementing a safe (route) section (trusted area) while saving at least some of the TAO transponders. This can be achieved, for example, in that existing TAB transponders provide information linking the travel of the rail vehicle to the conditions. This condition is checked by the rail vehicle as it is acquired or after it has been acquired, ie when passing a TAB transponder. The conditions can be:

[0060] - rail vehicles are only allowed to pass a preset distance,

[0061] - A rail vehicle must pass a preset transponder within a preset distance.

[0062] For such a situation in which the conditions are not fulfilled, the rail vehicle autonomously executes preset actions, such as starting a braking process.

[0063] Said conditions cause the rail vehicle to autonomously check and decide whether it will perform a preset action. No instructions from the link control center are required for this.

[0064] The information provide...

Abstract

According to the invention, a balise at the border of a trusted area, in particular a TAB balise, communicates data to a rail vehicle when the rail vehicle passes said balise, the rail vehicle verifies a condition on the basis of said data, and the rail vehicle performs a predefined action in accordance with whether the condition is met. This dispenses with the need for additional balises, especially TAO balises.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling a rail vehicle, a corresponding ETCS line installation, an associated system and a corresponding rail vehicle. Background technique [0002] The "European Train Control System" (ETCS) is a component of the unified European Rail Traffic Management System which has been developed under the acronym ERTMS. The second technical component of this digitized railway technology is the railway-mobile communication system GSM-R. ETCS will succeed a large number of train safety systems in use in many countries, in high-speed traffic in the medium term and in the long-term throughout European rail transport. [0003] ETCS vehicle devices include, for example, ETCS computers (EVC, European VitalComputer (European Safety Computer)), driving console displays (DMI, Driver Machine Interface (human-machine interface)), distance measuring devices, GSM transmission devices (including European radio stations), transponder r...
