ANTI-COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to an anticollision control system for at least a f irst vehicle fitted with an onboard automatic pilot (self-guiding) allowing for bi-directional movements on a single lane under the control of a ground- based automated traffic control unit of the CBTC type. The system particular ly includes: a signalling control unit of the AWS type for controlling groun d signals on a section of a single-direction circulation lane; a first defau lt control means based on which the signalling control unit imposes a single -direction movement to the vehicle running on the section of a single-direct ion circulation lane in order to avoid any collision with another vehicle co ntrolled solely by the signalling control unit of the AWS type, i.e. indepen dently from the ground-based automated traffic control unit. A first advanta ge of the invention is that a second control mode can be activated, in which a displacement of the vehicle piloted in opposite directions on a portion a t least of the section of the initially single-direction circulation lane, c an be initiated by means of a request for a control priority demand sent by the automated traffic control CBTC to the AWS signalling control unit, which in turn sends back an authorisation (or refusal) signal RESP to said reques t.
