METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ETCS L1 AND/OR L2 - TRAIN CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for ETCS (European Train Control System) L1 (Level 1) and/or L2 (Level 2) train control, wherein MA (movement authorities/ travel authorizations) derived from a signal box database are transmitted to the trains (Z1, Z2) by means of RBC (Radio Block Center) via signal beacon groups or by radio. The invention further relates to a corresponding apparatus. In order to increase the signaling safety during ETCS train control, according to the invention on the part of the RBC, an MA updating block or an MA repetition block for an MA allocated to an L2 train (Z1, Z2) delays the departure or onward travel of a train (Z1, Z2), despite a TRAVEL signal term, if signal box messages (M1, M2) relating to the signal term to the RBC in the wrong chronological sequence are possible.
