Method for releasing overlaps in a railway signalling system

摘要

A method for releasing an overlap in a railway signalling system, the system comprising a signalling interlocking, trackside processing equipment and at least one signal, the overlap being a section of railway located past the signal in the direction of train movement, comprises: configuring both the interlocking and the trackside processing equipment to treat the overlap as an individual overlap route, such that a train would require a movement authority to be granted to proceed into that route.
