Automatic Train Track Switching System with Computerized Control from the Central Monitoring Unit

The Rail Technology Unit An Intelligent Track Monitoring System

GIS Augmented Automatic Train Monitoring

Now a days managing train movement between stations in railways has become staggering task which involve human efforts like data transfer through phone. It is needed to be continuously monitor the trains approaching from neighboring stations, for safe train movement due to high density of trains on a track. Conventionally, station master monitor approaching /departing trains by using Route Rela...

Automatic train control with on-board computers

Since 1981, the Automatic Train Control (ATC) devices have been used to maintain a safe distance between trains on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines in Tokyo. Although shorter train headways have been desired for years to increase the line capacities, this has been impossible with the conventional ATC. The authors have developed a new ATC system, the Digital ATC system, to replace the conven...

Study on Automatic Train Supervision of the Korean Radio-based Train Control System

The Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system reports the real-time train location from an onboard system to a wayside systems and transmits the movement authority through radio communication from the wayside system to the onboard system, and it shall increase railway capacity by allowing the highdensity train control through high information transmission amount between the wayside ATP/AT...

Multiple Sensor Automatic Train Control System Implementation in FPGA

Traditionally train control and signalling systems have been relying heavily on human operators. However, with the advances in technology, electronic systems have become not only economical to use but also increasingly reliable to gain the confidence of human operators. In this paper, we focus on some important features of the modern train control systems. We emphasize that multiple sensors hav...
