| A travelling vehicle system includes an intermediate track; first tracks; second tracks; a first switching track which connects the intermediate track and one of the first tracks to an other one track; and a second switching track which connects the intermediate track and one of the second tracks to the other one track. When a travelling vehicle travels on the intermediate track, a travelling vehicle controller determines before the travelling vehicle enters the first switching track that the travelling vehicle can enter both the first and second switching tracks in the case of determining that the first track on which the travelling vehicle is currently travelling is connected to the intermediate track and determining that the intermediate track is connected to the second track selected by the travelling vehicle. | ||||||

The traveling of the moving vehicle is determined regarding the secured traveling route based on the different moving vehicle related data. | ||||||

| 192 | Process and device for control and monitoring a traffic control system | US147642 | 1999-02-05 | US6122590A | 2000-09-19 | Stephan Germann; Roland Gutknecht; Urs Zund |
| Process and device for controlling and monitoring of a traffic control system which has actuators and monitoring elements and by means of which at least two traffic tracks for railborne vehicles can be controlled by a control process which, upon request for allocation of a route, blocks all the actuators belonging to this route against other requests to create additional routes and control operations and carries out the request. To that effect, each of the changes in the positions or conditions of the actuators to be carried out by the control process, takes place only after successful testing for permissibility by a test process which is independent of the control process and which, in each case, tests whether the actuators and/or monitoring elements to be blocked or to be actuated for the allocation or release of the route already are in use and, thus, have been blocked. | ||||||
| 193 | Method and device for a smooth and timely deceleration or stop in automatic train control | US192679 | 1994-02-07 | US5474267A | 1995-12-12 | Kiyoto Kubota; Hiroto Takeuchi; Shinichiro Kato |
| A method and device for effecting a fast but smooth deceleration or stopping of trains controlled under the automatic train control (ATC) system. Under ATC, a permitted maximum velocity is provided as an "ATC condition" to activate the brake system of the train if that velocity is exceeded. When it is necessary to alter the velocity of a train, a control center specifies a feeder section to have the ATC condition to be altered. Next, a substation corresponding to the specified feeder section is provided with notice about the alteration of the ATC condition. The notice includes the impending reduction of velocity. In response, the substation decelerates the train without using the ATC brake system provided on the train. When the train has been sufficiently slowed down such that the alteration of the ATC condition will not result in activation of the ATC brake system, the alteration of the ATC condition is then effected. | ||||||
| 194 | Apparatus and method for entering setting commands in a computer-controlled interlocking system | US111939 | 1987-10-21 | US4864534A | 1989-09-05 | Jurgen Kehrer; Harald Schulz |
| A method is disclosed for converting operator inputs into control commands in a computer-controlled interlocking system. For standard inputs, a search method is used instead of a complicated and time-consuming syntax analysis. Using a pseudorandom technique, a search code is determined from the text entered into an input device. With the aid of this search code, the control command assigned to the input text is found in a previously compiled list of all control commands. Before being processed, the control command found is checked for agreement with the input by a direct comparison. | ||||||

| An interlocking system comprising a plurality, e.g., three, of parallel sub-systems operating asynchronously to produce identical replicated outputs which are mutually compared to determine the correct output and disqualifying a minority output thereby ensuring high system integrity. Each sub-system includes a similar arrangement for computing the difference between all possible pairs of sub-systems. Comparison of these results with a reference table of all possible difference results and then comparison of the difference equations yields a common factor which is the sub-system producing the error. Action can then be taken to disqualify its output, e.g., by switching-off its power supply. A final output is taken, preferably from one sub-system, with a second as standby. To accomodate asynchronous running, a final output is only acted upon if it is repeated in a succeeding output cycle thus permitting opportunity to disqualify the preferred output if it is judged in error by the other sub-systems and to replace it by the standby. | ||||||
| 196 | Route conflict analysis system for control of railroads | US751498 | 1976-12-17 | US4122523A | 1978-10-24 | Charles W. Morse; John P. Walker; Chan-Yong Chew |
| A centralized traffic control system for complex railroad areas analyzes the intended path of travel of various trains to determine the existence of any conflicts. When one or more conflicts are detected, the system analyzes various options to resolve the conflict with a minimum disruption to the system based on predetermined constraints. The analysis proceeds on the basis of a heuristic search for conflict resolution. A successful resolution of the conflict is then implemented without requiring operator intervention. | ||||||
| 197 | Route interlocking control system | US547702 | 1975-02-06 | US3937428A | 1976-02-10 | J. Calvin Elder |
| A single relay serves to register route request selections for both traffic directions over each track route through a railroad interlocking layout. This single route request relay is jointly controlled by the route selection push buttons for both directions, the actuated push button being also repeated by a traffic direction relay. The route request relay pick up checks that no conflicting route request is active, and that the same or opposing route is not already established and locked. The route request and direction repeater relays are held by stick circuits to store the request until the route is locked. A single relay serves to provide the clear and lock function for all possible traffic routes originating at each entry point into the interlocking. Each clear and lock relay responds to the registry of a route request originating at that location but also checks, in accordance with the route switch positions, that the opposing approach lock relay is still picked up, that the involved track sections within the interlocking are unoccupied, and the absence of cab signal energy for an opposing train within the interlocking. The clear/lock relay selects and enables the clearing of the correct route entry signal, releases the route request storage, and locks the established route against any opposing route requests. Cancellation of a route request or a locked route with cleared signal is provided, with separate actions as the approach track is or is not occupied. Cancellation of a locked route and cleared signal requires the usual time delay to assure that an approaching train stops short before a conflicting move is authorized. | ||||||
