METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING AUTOMATIC RAILWAY TRAFFIC, AND RAILWAY TRAFFIC SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING AUTOMATIC RAILWAY TRAFFIC

摘要

The invention relates to a method for implementing automatic railway traffic using automatic train control and train protection by means of data communication between an on-board device on an automatic train and a track-side device. In order to develop said type of method in such a way that locomotive-operated trains can travel along with automatic trains without impeding traffic for the automatic trains, upon transmission of a position signal (P) designating the front position of the locomotive (3) of a locomotive-operated train (2) so as to integrate the locomotive-operated train (2) into the automatic railway traffic, a permanent electronic tag (S) is permanently assigned to the locomotive (3) of the locomotive-operated train (2) in the track-side device (5) upon reception of a position signal (P), such that the locomotive-operated train (2) is permanently treated as a short automatic train by the track-side device (5), and the rearward-extending portion of a track section (1) on which the locomotive-operated train (2) travels and which is delimited by physical tags (6) is blocked. The invention also relates to a railway traffic system for implementing automatic railway traffic.
