System And Method For Virtual Block Stick Circuits

View page
US Patent:
20230083828, Mar 16, 2023
Filed:
Oct 31, 2022
Appl. No.:
18/051275
Inventors:
- Fort Worth TX, US
Michael Ramolt - Shawnee KS, US
Brent Russell - Olathe KS, US
Kent Robert Shue - Bonner Springs KS, US
Assignee:
BNSF Railway Company - Fort Worth TX
International Classification:
B61L 11/08
B61L 7/08
B61L 21/10
B61L 1/18
B61L 23/16
Abstract:
A system and method for virtual block stick circuits is presented. The present disclosure implements specialized algorithms adapted to determine the true status of a virtual block based on multiple inputs from different perspectives. In one embodiment, the system can use the far house perspective of that virtual track segment and the PTC hazard for the near virtual track segment directly adjacent to the near house uses the near house perspective of that virtual track segment. For the middle virtual track segments, the near house perspectives of the middle virtual track segments are held ‘TRUE’ if they are already ‘TRUE’ when the train first enters the block, using stick circuits for the near house perspective of the middle track circuits. The vital application can then indicate the true state of the virtual track segment as occupied (FALSE), to protect the train from trains that follow.

US Patent:
20210253147, Aug 19, 2021
Filed:
May 5, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/302524
Inventors:
- Fort Worth TX, US
Ralph E. Young - Osawatomie KS, US
Kent Robert Shue - Bonner Springs KS, US
Mitchell Wayne Beard - Shawnee KS, US
Assignee:
BNSF Railway Company - Fort Worth TX
International Classification:
B61L 11/08
B61L 7/08
B61L 21/10
B61L 1/18
B61L 23/16
Abstract:
A method of railroad track control includes partitioning a physical track block into a plurality of virtual track blocks, the physical track block defined by first and second insulated joints disposed at corresponding first and second ends of a length of railroad track. The presence of an electrical circuit discontinuity in one of the plurality of virtual track blocks; is detected and in response a corresponding virtual track block position code indicating the presence of the discontinuity in the one of the plurality of virtual track blocks is generated.
