METHOD TO ENSURE SAFETY OF TRAIN, SHUNTING ROLLING STOCK OR INDIVIDUAL LOCOMOTIVE AT RAILROAD STATION OR APPROACHES THERETO Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B61L3/12 B61L27/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises defining the route, transmitting control data to locomotive and controlling its motion route. An integrated electronic data base covering all possible routes of motion at the station, specifying coordinates of major railway objects on every route and comprising digital encoding of every route is formed for stationary station and locomotive equipment. Along with initiation of clear signal, the preset route code and information on the factors influencing the motion along the route, about occupancy tracks adjoining to the route under consideration and readiness of the other routes are transmitted to locomotive. The motion trajectory along the route is formed at the locomotive and station in compliance with the route code and the aforesaid factors to allow the locomotive operator clearly visualise the preset motion trajectory and the data sent to the locomotive. Note here that safe motion along the preset trajectory is automatically controlled via simultaneous exchange of data between the locomotive and station concerning variations in coordinates, speed and aforesaid factors, especially, on occurrence of abnormal conditions.

EFFECT: higher safety, optimised traffic.
