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.
Claims16
A method for inputting train control system data into a rail vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
- capturing the train control system data by a unit, wherein the unit is selected from the group consisting of a mobile computer, a tablet personal computer, a smartphone, and a stationary computer;
- transmitting the train control system data from the unit to an interface of the rail vehicle;
- displaying the transmitted train control system data on an input terminal of the rail vehicle as preselected data values;
- and
- accepting the train control system data displayed as preselected data in the rail vehicle as soon as the train control system data have been received and checked by the train control system with an option for confirmation of the train control system data by the user.
A rail vehicle, comprising:
- a train control system device including:
- an interface configured for receiving train control system data;
- and
- an input terminal configured for displaying the received train control system data as preselected data values;
- wherein the train control system device is configured for accepting the train control system data displayed as preselected data on the input terminal as soon as the train control system data have been received and checked by the train control system with an option for confirmation of the train control system data by the user.
