Abstract
As facilities that ensure the safety and improve the operational efficiency of railways, different types of train control systems are being operated on several lines based on the demands and needs ...
Highlights
Railroads must connect two routes whenever necessary
The communication-based train control (CBTC) system is adopted for the mainline, while the automatic train control (ATC) system is used for the depot because of the high costs
This paper presents a method for designing an on-board system that ensures the safe and efficient passage of CBTC-based trains on both the ATC and CBTC sections as well as several measures for linking two routes safely without installing a derailment turnout
Summary
Railroads must connect two routes whenever necessary. If two routes have the same signaling system, a train can run on these two tracks without requiring any measure. Trains with different signaling systems can run on a single track in two ways, namely, by installing two different on-board signaling systems on each train and by installing two different wayside signaling systems that allow these trains to run on the same track The latter method is considered inefficient because of safety concerns as well as the required space and costs for the installation of these systems [5,6,7,8]. This paper presents a method for designing an on-board system that ensures the safe and efficient passage of CBTC-based trains on both the ATC and CBTC sections as well as several measures for linking two routes safely without installing a derailment turnout
