METHOD OF TRAIN SEPARATION AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B61L27/00 B61L23/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway ACS, remote control and communication systems. Proposed method consists in moving the train at low speed over track section with faulty track devices. At normal movement the following trains are authorised to move at higher speed. Note here that coordinates of the trains are compared to span track circuit occupancy data. In case track sections with false hardware interlocking, interlocking is removed. Proposed device comprises automated workstations of assistant station-master and electrician, control transceiver and transceivers of radio channel, light and crossing signaling control signals, power interlocking signals, automatic track signaling and interoffice communication signals. Control transceiver additionally comprises the module for control over interaction between system components with modules for detection of the following faults: track circuit shut sensitivity, track circuit occupation accepted sequence, track circuit clearing accepted sequence, detection of logically false occupied track circuits, detection of logically false cleared track circuits and detection of trains approach to distance smaller than track circuit length.

EFFECT: accelerated recovery of span capacity after locking of track sections.
