Method for automatic train control in European train control system track, involves using identical procedures for formation of telegrams to control balises for point-like automatic train control and wireless-based automatic train control

摘要

The method involves using identical procedures for formation of data telegrams for controlling transparent data balises (5) for point-like automatic train control i.e. European train control system (ETCS) level 1 automatic train control, and for wireless-based automatic train control i.e. ETCS level 2 automatic train control. The data telegrams are selectively transmitted to vehicles (3) via the balises or in a wireless manner, where the data telegrams include travel authorization. The travel authorization is derived from a database available at a side of a signal tower (1). An independent claim is also included for a device for automatic train control in a European train control system (ETCS) track, comprising a track center.
