SYSTEM FOR TRAIN TRAFFIC CONTROL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B61L25/02 B61L27/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport and can be used in centralised railway transport control systems. The system contains central control room and distributed controlled rooms. In each control room there is computer of train traffic control operator WKS. Ports of this computer are connected with the first port of electric interlocking tower hardware unit, remote control and signalling devices unit and stationary device for radio communication with locomotives. In each control room, the ports of remote control and signalling devices are connected with communication channels, and stationary radio communication device is connected with on-board transceivers. In each locomotive, the on-board computer ports are connected with on-board transceiver, display, train movement control unit and satellite navigation system receiver. In each distributed controlled room, on-duty mode control unit and switching unit are introduced. The remote control and signalling devices unit is connected with on-duty mode control unit which connected with the second port of electric interlocking tower hardware unit via switching unit.

EFFECT: system provides lower operation costs and higher reliability and durability of electric interlocking tower hardware while keeping its safety as well as lowering capital expenditures for connecting to the system of remote and low-active field stations not linked with central control room by protected communication channels.
