Automatic train control (ATC) is a general class of train protection systems for railways that involves a speed control mechanism in response to external inputs. For example, a system could effect an emergency brake application if the driver does not react to a signal at danger. ATC systems tend to integrate various cab signalling technologies and they use more granular deceleration patterns in lieu of the rigid stops encountered with the older automatic train stop technology. ATC can also be used with automatic train operation (ATO) and is usually considered to be the safety-critical part of the system.
Traffic network and method for operating rail vehicles in a traffic network consisting of a combination of line sections with train protection and line sections without train protection
ActiveUS12643585B2Automatic systemsManual systemsAutomatic train controlAutomatic train protection
A method for operating rail vehicles in a traffic network, which includes a reserved operating area that is reserved for the rail vehicles and a shared operating area which is shared with traffic participants other than the rail vehicles. A computer-assisted method for train control is performed automatically in the reserved operating area. The method for automatic train control is also performed in a computer-assisted manner in the shared operating area, wherein automatic train protection does not take place but automatic operation and supervision do take place. Using a range of functions modified thus, continuous train tracking is advantageously realized. There are also described a traffic network for operating rail vehicles, a rail vehicle for operation in a traffic network, and a computer program and an associated delivery device.
