Abstract (en)

Guarding method for workplace safety at a railway track, within the guarding method, one starts with the already present train protection system based on vital relays, and at the beginning of the implementation of the method modifications are carried out inside the relay box / housing of this existing train protection system, by locating for the vital relay of type TPR, an own and individual monitoring sensor permanently inside the relay box / housing, in which the TPR relay is located, said permanent monitoring sensor detects and / or monitors the position "open" and "closed" of the TPR relay, the monitoring sensors being arranged to individually collect and transmit the data for each associated TPR relay and, via a data connection, the status of these positions, individualized to each associated TPR relay, is reported to an associated and remote central warning computer adapted to use the data from the monitoring sensor to conclude whether the temporary mobile alarm system set up at the track workers should be instructed to provide, e.g. acoustically, the guaranteed warning to the track workers.
