Functions of the interlocking system on mixed traffic lines

Abstract

These days, automated rail traffic control systems help to lessen the need for human intervention in train traffic management. On the other hand, the various algorithms used by interlocking systems to coordinate the movement of trains belonging to distinct categories result in longer wait times for technological procedures at the station. The possibility of timely routes for trains of multiple categories occurs by employing the method of automatic route preparation by interlocking systems in the organization of the movement of trains of different categories. In interlocking systems, automatic route preparation can be achieved by continuously monitoring train characteristics, train traffic graphs of various train classes, and the condition of equipment involved in the function’s development. Nonetheless, it is predicated on the creation of many models to arrange the specifications of various train classes and train movements inside a single schedule type. In order to prepare the routes ahead of time for the station tracks based on the algorithms for the operation of interlocking systems for various kinds of trains, the paper analyzes the reliance of the traffic composition characteristics.
