METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR SAFE ROUTE CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to a communication system and method for the secured control of a route followed by a vehicle running in the approach area of a moving area, wherein: the moving area is preceded by a closing signalling provided on the ground and adapted for informing the vehicle to stop; a safety timing is determined by a ground control unit for ensuring that the vehicle stops before entering the moving area; in parallel with the closing signalling, an information request from the ground control unit is transmitted to a control safety unit onboard the vehicle; the onboard control safety unit or an associated evaluation module evaluates the braking capacity of the vehicle and encodes the same (e.g. binary encoding) into an information requested by the ground control unit and then fed back to the ground control unit; depending on the information state, the ground control unit minimises the safety timing or even cancels the same completely.
