A vehicle-based device for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a receiving device which, when passing a track-based transmission device, is configured for receiving a signal, which is at least also frequency-modulated, from the track-based transmission device. The vehicle-based device includes an evaluation device which is configured for generating a crosstalk warning, namely in accordance with signal levels at different frequencies of the received frequency-modulated transmission signal and/or in accordance with the frequency curve. A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, and a method for transmitting at least one piece of information from a track-based transmission device to a passing vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, are also provided.

A method operates a track-bound traffic system which carries out a determination that a first track section part lying between a track-bound vehicle and a second track section is free of vehicles. A track-side device disposed in a first track section at a distance to an adjacent second track section, transmits status information which characterizes the second track section as being free of track-bound vehicles, and the transmitted status information is received by a vehicle traversing the first track section. The distance is measured such that no other track-bound vehicle fits in a first track section part lying between the track-bound vehicle and the second track section when the track-bound vehicle receives the status information, and the first track section part lying between the track-bound vehicle and the second track section is identified as being free of other track-bound vehicles by the track-bound vehicle based on the received status information.

A method operates a track-bound traffic system which in a particularly efficient manner and at the same time with a comparably low degree of complexity allows the position of at least one vehicle end of a track-bound vehicle to be ascertained. For this purpose, the method is carried out such that a track-side device transmits first information which directly or indirectly characterizes the location of the track-side device and second information which directly or indirectly characterizes the travel direction of a track-bound vehicle. The first and second information is received by the track-bound vehicle at the location of the track-side device; and a position of at least one vehicle end of the track-bound vehicle is ascertained by the track-bound vehicle on the basis of the received first and second information.

A method for inputting ETCS data into a rail vehicle inputs the ETCS data by using an apparatus which is separate from the rail vehicle. The apparatus can, for example, be constructed to be mobile and the ETCS data can be input flexibly at different locations and be transmitted to the rail vehicle, for example, by SMS. The advantage of this approach is that delays resulting from the inputting of ETCS data can be reduced and thus the rail vehicle reaches a “Start of Mission” state more quickly. An apparatus for inputting ETCS data into a rail vehicle and a rail vehicle with an ETCS device are also provided.

A method is provided which protects persons in the vicinity of a high frequency (HF) field-emitting device, in particular a European train control system (ETCS) antenna of a rail vehicle. In order to be able to reliably protect persons from radiation that is detrimental to one's health, the device is held in or switched to an OFF state by an uplink for a limited period of time, the ON/OFF state being optically and/or acoustically signaled.

A system for controlling movement of a vehicle that includes a camera system mounted on the vehicle and configured to generate image signals of terrain within the vehicle path of movement of the vehicle, a radar system mounted on the vehicle and configured to generate distance signals to an object in the terrain, and a processor having multiple GPU rasters in a series data processing configuration that are configured to utilize a hypotenuse processing function for drawing lines from pixel to moving entity center (MEC) or from macro cell center to MEC, and a detector configured to test for raster frame lock between the multiple GPU rasters structured to determine a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the object in the path of movement of the vehicle, and to generate control signals to alter the direction or speed of the vehicle or both to avoid the object.

The invention relates to a train control method based on mobile authorization verification, which compares driving permission sent by a vehicle-mounted device to a ground trackside device with driving permission calculated by itself, and outputs the strictest driving permission. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that the correctness of mobile authorization calculation is improved, and the safety of train stop points is ensured.

The present disclosure relates to a train-ground interlocking method and system for rail transit train operation control. In the train-ground interlocking method, a train is taken as a subject of wayside and carborne resource management, and the train actively calculates a required resource according to a “movement mission”, applies to a wayside at an appropriate time and location, uses the resource after obtaining a resource use authority, and actively releases the resource after use of the resource; and once the wayside allocates the resource to one of other trains, the resource cannot be reallocated without being released by the train. Compared to the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: interlocking control of integration of the train and wayside equipment is achieved, rail transit is improved from original passive and indirect interlocking control of the train to active and direct interlocking control of the train, the train safety protection function and the utilization efficiency of wayside resources are further improved, and safe, timely and appropriate match between a movement behavior of the train and a status of the wayside equipment is truly realized.

The disclosure relates to a light train control system applied to oversea freight railways. The system integrates automatic block, station turnout control and train operation overspeed protection control and comprises an on-board subsystem, an RBC subsystem and a satellite positioning differential base station management subsystem, wherein the on-board subsystem is respectively connected to the RBC subsystem and the satellite positioning differential base station management subsystem. The light train control system adopts two-way continuous train-ground wireless communication and uses on-board signals as main signals of train operation to control the train operation; meanwhile, the system monitors the train operation, so as to provide an alarm to a driver when the situation changes, and to brake a train when necessary; and the system uses an electronic map to manage line data of a whole line, achieves dynamic configuration of the transport capacity by means of a virtual block technology, and remotely controls basic signaling equipment by means of an RBC. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has the advantages of efficient system operation and simplified trackside equipment.

An antenna arrangement for the mobile communication of a rail vehicle and a rail vehicle with an antenna arrangement of the type. The antenna arrangement has at least two transmitting antennas and at least two receiving antennas. The transmitting antennas are spatially grouped in a transmitting group and the receiving antennas are spatially grouped in a receiving group. The distances between the transmitting antennas and between the receiving antennas is smaller than the overall distance between the transmitting group and the receiving group. The antennas can thereby be arranged in a much more space-saving fashion on the vehicles because large distances have to be provided only between the groups, not between the antennas within the groups. Where the space needed is low, interference-free operation of the antennas is thus advantageously possible.
