A train control system includes a positioning system and consults a database to determine when the train is approaching a configurable device such as a switch or grade crossing gate. The system continuously interrogates the device to determine its status as the train approaches the device, and forces an engineer/conductor to acknowledge any detected malfunction. The train is forced to come to a complete stop before proceeding past the device or may be slowed down to a speed that will allow the engineer/conductor to visually determine whether it is safe to proceed past the device if the engineer/conductor acknowledges a message warning of the malfunction and will stop the train if the engineer/conductor fails to acknowledge the warning message.

Un système de commande de train comprend un système de positionnement et consulte une base de données pour déterminer à quel moment le train va approcher un dispositif configurable tel qu'un commutateur ou une barrière de passage à niveau. Le système continue d'interroger le dispositif pour déterminer son état lorsque le train approche du dispositif et oblige l'ingénieur/le conducteur à accuser réception de tout dysfonctionnement détecté. Le train est amené à l'arrêt complet avant de passer devant le dispositif ou peut être ralenti à une vitesse qui permettra à l'ingénieur/au conducteur de déterminer visuellement s'il est prudent de passer devant le dispositif si l'ingénieur/le conducteur accuse réception d'un message avertissant du dysfonctionnement, et arrêtera le train si l'ingénieur/le conducteur omet d'accuser réception du message d'alarme.
