Abstract
Description
[0001] The track monitoring device for rail traffic solves the problem of a rail train colliding with an obstacle on the tracks.
[0002] The control device moving ahead of the train reports the obstacle to the train and automatically initiates a stop of the train.
[0003] The track monitoring device for rail traffic reports the track obstacle in time for the rail train to stop, even in cases of limited visibility or when cornering.
[0004] Obstacle-free rails are particularly important for high-speed rail trains.
[0005] The long braking distance of the high-speed rail train makes it almost impossible for the train driver to monitor the route.
[0006] The route monitoring device according to the invention even detects obstacles in a dark tunnel.
[0007] The technical solution for constructing the track monitoring device is state of the art.
[0008] Therefore, no pictorial representation is provided.
Claims
[1] Line monitoring device for rail traffic, characterized by that a control device moving in front of the train reports the condition of the tracks to the train. [2] A track monitoring device for rail traffic according to claim 1, characterized by that the control device is far enough ahead of the train to enable an emergency stop in the event of an obstacle being reported. [3] A track monitoring device for rail traffic according to claims 1 and 2, characterized by that the control device moving in front of the rail train moves on the rails itself. [4] Line monitoring device for rail traffic according to claims 1 to 4, characterized by that the control device moving in front of the rail train may be an aircraft controlled by the rails in its direction of flight.
