  • Operation of a rail vehicle by means of an ETCS device
    Patent number: 10046780
    Abstract: A method for operating a rail vehicle includes, at least to some extent, using a secondary ETCS device which travels along with the rail vehicle but is not used for its operation, if a fault occurs in a primary ETCS device. A secondary EVC takes over the role of a primary EVC and, in many applications, at least some train control functions. The advantage is that train control can, at least in some fault cases, be continued in an automated way in the case of a failure of a component of the primary ETCS device. A rail vehicle and an apparatus for the operation of a rail vehicle are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Input of ETCS data into a rail vehicle
    Patent number: 9776647
    Abstract: 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.
