Definitions

  • the condition of a track section in particular the occupancy, is usually determined by personnel without further technical aids. Accounting, ie theoretical track mirrors can be created using a disposition system.
  • the cars are electronically converted by shunting from one track to another.
  • Gleistore There are so-called "Gleistore" known. On a Gleistor a mark on the vehicles can be recognized optically or by radio. For this example, RFID tags are used. With the Gleistoren the track condition can be determined vehicle-accurate. However, this requires that a technically complex optical recognition and evaluation system is installed on the track or all vehicles are provided with a suitable marking.
  • axle counters There are known as axle counters.
  • the axle counters are used in interlocking-operated areas.
  • the number of axes is usually not the operator and transport companies not shown.
  • EP 0 433 756 A2 discloses a system for controlling and monitoring freight wagons. Each individual freight car is equipped with an individual identification mark. The system allows a clear identification of the smallest subunit (individual vehicle) and thus a high probability of identification. The equipment of all vehicles of an existing fleet of vehicles with appropriate individual identification marks is expensive and requires a long equipment time. Traction vehicles are not provided for identification.
  • DD 2 29 657 A1 discloses a method for determining the number of vehicles, the center distances, the individual vehicle lengths and the total length of a vehicle body for operation on a runoff hill.
  • the center distances are determined by means of two track switching devices.
  • the track switching devices are arranged at a smaller distance than the smallest center distance of a bogie.
  • the determination is made the average axis speeds, the time intervals between the set-up operation and the complete passage of the track switching devices.
  • the axle distances determined in this way are compared with specified type-specific reference values for vehicle type determination.
  • DE 198 36 421 A1 and EP 0 979 765 A2 disclose a method for the time-delayed transmission of a count determined by a metering point after complete passage of a train to a central evaluation device.
  • the evaluation device generates only a free message or a busy message.
  • an expectancy period is calculated based on the speed.
  • maneuvering where the vehicle group could also stop at the metering point, the procedure fails. It is only suitable for generating a free or busy message for trips with almost constant speed, but not to represent the actual degree of occupancy.
  • EP 1 086 873 A1 discloses a method for detecting rail vehicle wheels overrun at a point of delivery.
  • the number of different influences on the sensors is counted by at least two sensors which are overlappingly influenced by the vehicle wheel, but plausibilized only after an expected period of time and the number of vehicle wheels is determined.
  • US 2012/0138752 A1 discloses a compact evaluation circuit, which serves as An Havenmelder, but can not be used for track occupancy.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Unlike known Achsterrorisman extracten not only the crossing of a vehicle axle is determined here, but also directly the direction. So it can be very accurately determined how many axes the sensors actually happened. Since the device does not give track approval, but only determines the crossing, no additional backups are required. Accordingly, the device is inexpensive to implement.
  • the transmission means comprise a GSM module.
  • the evaluation unit can be a remote server which receives data from a multiplicity of devices according to the invention.
  • the transmission means transmit the "raw data". This avoids complex on-site logic. The data is transmitted immediately. It is not necessary to wait for the complete passage of all vehicles and to install corresponding time delays before transmission.
  • the use of a wireless remote data transmission has the advantage that the device according to the invention is completely self-sufficient. It can be mounted anywhere on the track. It is easy to send and ready to use. There is no time-consuming electronic device or software installation required.
  • the data can be sent with an identifier, which is assigned to the position, for example in the evaluation unit.
  • the sensors and the transmission means are mounted on a common base plate.
  • a part of the base plate may be arranged below the rail and the sensors may be fastened on one side of the rail and the transmission means on the other side of the rail on the base plate.
  • screw fasteners with secured screws, special tools are required for loosening. Then the arrangement is practically not removable for unauthorized persons.
  • the transmission means and other possibly required electronic and electrical components can be arranged in a dustproof and watertight, temperature-resistant housing, so that sensitive components are protected against environmental influences.
  • the protection class IP 67 is suitable.
  • the sensors are attached to a height-adjustable holder.
  • the device according to the invention can be used for rails of different heights, design or wear.
  • a solar module with rechargeable batteries, batteries or another self-sufficient energy supply for the sensors and / or the transmission means are provided.
  • the device according to the invention is self-sufficient and does not need to be connected to any power or other data networks.
  • a solar module avoids high maintenance, such as the replacement of batteries.
  • the device according to the invention can be operated by a method according to claim 6. It can also be detected in particular when a vehicle with an axle between the sensors stops.
  • a passage in the direction from sensor 1 to sensor 2 generates the following signal sequence: step Sensor 1 Sensor 2 evaluation A 0 0 no crossing yet B 1 0 Sensor 1 is run over C 1 1 1 Axis is located between the sensors D 0 1 Sensor 2 is run over e 0 0 Crossing finished
  • steps B and D are reversed. From the sequence of the crossing signals of the sensors so the direction of travel of the vehicle is determined. In addition, a crossing is verified according to the invention. Incorrect signals on one of the two sensors are easily identified as such if the associated signals are not generated on the other sensor.
  • the speed of the axis can additionally be determined.
  • the time of crossing a vehicle axle via the sensors or the time interval of the crossing between the sensors can be determined and transmitted to the evaluation unit.
  • the distance of the sensors in the longitudinal direction can be transmitted to the evaluation unit or stored in the evaluation unit and the vehicle speed can be determined from the distance between the sensors and the time difference between the crossing signals of a vehicle axle.
  • FIG. 1 shows a generally designated 10 device for detecting track sections.
  • the device 10 comprises a base plate 12, which is arranged below the rail foot of a track 14 and protrudes on both sides.
  • the base plate 12 forms at one end 16 a right angle.
  • a U-shaped holder 18 is screwed.
  • the holder 18 in the central region on two slots 20 whose longitudinal axis is substantially vertical. In this way, the holder 18 is height adjustable.
  • an induction sensor 26 is screwed on each leg 22 of the holder 18.
  • the sensors 26 can be adjusted in this way together in the vertical direction. This is particularly helpful for adapting to the wear rate of the rail.
  • the horizontal adjustment for different rail profiles can be done by moving the device.
  • the base plate 12 is provided with offset threaded holes 24 corresponding to the different rail foot widths. Tapped holes have the advantage that tools do not have to be applied from below.
  • the sensors 26 are arranged such that, when crossing a wheel 34 (FIG. FIG. 2 ), corresponding to the crossing of an axis, generate a signal 36.
  • the signal 36 is applied via a signal terminal 28 to a - not shown - signal line.
  • the signal line is connected to the terminal 32 of a transmission unit 30.
  • the transmission unit 30 comprises a pulse preprocessing 38 and a GSM module 39. Such modules are well known and therefore need not be further described here.
  • a solar cell as a power supply, a Memory and a timer provided.
  • the transfer unit 30 is completely arranged in a closed housing, which largely precludes manipulation by unauthorized persons and environmental influences. This is in FIG. 1 to recognize.
  • a corresponding electrical signal 36 is generated and sent to the transmission unit 30.
  • the transmission unit 30 sends the signal via GSM together with a time stamp without further time delay to a - in FIG. 2 illustrated - central evaluation server 40.
  • the GSM network is in FIG. 2 labeled 42.
  • the evaluation server 40 information about all connected detection devices 10, in particular their positions, stored. Using suitable software, it is determined from the received signals how many axes are moved in or out of a track section. It is also determined with which speed these axes have retracted and whether individual axes have reversed and have returned. From the information is further - depending on the application - determined by what types of vehicles and how many vehicles had frequented the section at what time (track 44). In particular, the duration of stay in some sections of track is also recorded. The information gathered in this way promptly provides the condition of the track sections, thus enabling a reality-based billing of the infrastructure manager.
  • the device is simple and can be retrofitted at virtually any point. A special device on the overrunning railway vehicles is not required.
