METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR THE RELIABLE MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF OPERATING STATES OF AT LEAST ONE TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM, AND USE OF THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement (10) for the reliable monitoring and evaluation of operating states of at least one traffic control system (12, 12', 12'', 12'''), especially at least one control device (14, 14', 14'', 14''') of an electronic signal box (16, 16', 16'', 16''') for railborne traffic, comprising two specific communicating data processing devices (30, 30') which each comprise a unit (32, 32') for receiving and processing acquired data and/or information relating to an operating state of the at least one control device (14, 14', 14'', 14'''), a unit (33, 33') for visualising the received and processed data and/or information relating to the operating state on a screen (26, 26', 26'', 26''', 26'''') or the like, a unit (36, 36') for the pixel-precise generation of an image signal, according to DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard, from the received and processed data and/or information relating to the operating state, and an image signal comparison device (38) for comparing and evaluating the two DVI image signals with each other, for producing or suppressing a pulse or a signal in response to the evaluation of the comparison between the two DVI image signals, and for forwarding the same from the image signal comparison device (38) to the two data processing devices (30, 30') for further operation and/or control of the at least one control device (14, 14', 14'', 14''') or for blocking the further operation and/or control of the at least one control device (14, 14', 14'' 14" ). The invention also relates to the use of the same.
