Railway line section rolling stock control arrangement, requires locomotive being equipped with transceiver for forming data communication link with transceiver at control center

摘要

Control of movement of rolling stock on line sections having a fixed-location control center equipped with a central processing unit for storing the instantaneous line occupancy state of the line being traversed by the rolling stock requires the train being equipped with a transceiving device (20) for making a data communication link (22) with a transceiving unit (26) at the control center (24). The train (10) having an internal display device (18) for indicating the instantaneous state of line section occupancy to the locomotive driver (14), the latter being permanently informed about the current state of the line occupancy so that the driver can personally decide at what speed the train should be driven, within the framework of the permissible maximum speed.
