Automatic Shunting Operations (ASO) – Aspects for the Technical Solution

Publikation: Konferenzbeitrag › Papier

Abstract

Shunting operations are of high importance for rail freight traffic. Progressive
automation of individual shunting processes is therefore a natural consequence. This
paper will present the overall technical solution for automatic shunting on tracks with
open access. In addition to Automatic Train Operation (ATO) this will be called
Automatic Shunting Operation (ASO). Two main use cases will be covered: (1) The
fully automated and unmanned operation of the shunting loco serving the gravity
hump within the marshalling yard; (2) Shunting operations including last mile
operations with a single person on board for supervision. In order for the system to
automatically detect obstacles within the clearance and signals along the track, a
sensor solution for the locomotive will be presented. Finally, our approach for the
automated coupling process will be explained.
