Method for the mixed operation of a track-bound route section with a switch as well as a route section and a switch

摘要

The invention describes a method for the mixed operation of a track-bound route section (AC). The route section is of a train control system, z. B. CBTC, equipped trains, and passable by not equipped with this train protection system. The route section (AC) is equipped with at least one switch (13), so that in the event that a train that is not equipped with the train control system is to enter the route section (AC) from the direction of a siding (BC), the route section (AC) as occupied is reported. The occupancy report is triggered when the switch (13) is first set in the direction of the siding (BC). After the train (Z1) not equipped with the train protection system has passed, the occupancy report is canceled. The cancellation is triggered by setting the switch a second time in the direction of the route section (AC). After the switch has been set, a clearing run is carried out with an equipped train on the route section (AC). The invention also relates to a switch (13) with a device for detecting the switch position.
