GO BACK TO THE AREA OF OTHERSInvention entitled ‘Method and device for stopping trains using GSM-R network’ (P.437342)
Description:
The object of the application is a method and device for stopping trains using the GSM-R network in order to replace the obsolete Radio-Stop system based on the 150 MHz VHF analog telephony in use today on Polish railroads.
A method of stopping trains using the GSM-R network within a defined access area, characterized in that: a numerical value is established specifying the geographic coordinates of the obstacle in front of which trains should be stopped; using a GSM-R communication system, a group or spreading connection is established with GSM-R communication systems installed in trains within the access area, and after the established connection in the talk-band, a telegram is transmitted, in tone-encoded form by means of a modem, containing a coded numerical value specifying the geographic coordinates of the obstacle and a coded numerical value of the range of influence specifying the desired distance of the starting point of train braking in front of the obstacle, which exceeds the longest known braking distance of running trains.
Benefits:
- Only selected trains are stopped and not all trains in a given area as in Radio-Stop
- Illegal use by outsiders is virtually impossible unlike Radio-Stop.
- No modifications to GSM-R network software required.
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent application to the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland registered under No. P.437342 of 19 March 2021.
The property rights to the invention are vested 100% in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology.
