GO BACK TO THE AREA OF OTHERSInvention entitled ‘Method and device for stopping trains using GSM-R network’ (P.437343)
Description:
A method of stopping trains using the GSM-R network within a specified access area, characterized in that: a numerical value specifying the geographic coordinates of the obstacle in front of which trains should be stopped is determined; a telegram 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, is transmitted to a specified telephone number as an SMS message using the GSM-R communication system.
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.
