A train control system includes positioning systems at the end of the train and at the front of the train, allowing the conductor or engineer to unambiguously determine that no cars of the train have become detached. The positioning system at the end of the train is also used to verify that the entrie train has cleared a block. This information can be relayed to a dispatcher, thereby eliminating the need for trackside sensing equipment. A control unit prevents the train from moving without an authorization that includes the train's current position.
L'invention porte sur un système de commande pour train, y compris des systèmes de positionnement en queue de train et en tête de train permettant au conducteur ou au mécanicien de train de s'assurer formellement qu'aucun wagon ou aucune voiture ne s'est détaché du convoi. Le système de positionnement en queue de train sert aussi à vérifier que le train entier a quitté un canton. L'information peut être relayée à un répartiteur, ce qui permet d'éliminer la nécessité d'installer des capteurs en bordure de la voie. Une unité de commande empêche le train de se déplacer sans une autorisation qui comprend aussi sa position actuelle.
