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 this will be called Automatic Shunting Operation. 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.
