Railway Signaling System

Abstract

Railway Signaling System is a signaling mechanism or computer system that is used to control trains to be safe. The system will control and determine the direction of movement and the operating time of the trains on the same rail including shuffling around the train station by the operation of various devices. The system is designed to work in relation to each other so that the driver can make a confident decision to operate the train and not cause confusion The first signaling system used in the management of trains is the Token Railway Signaling system, a badge as a license to use the rail which is divided into sections. Then the convenient sign system was developed into an automated system. And the Track circuit is an electric circuit for monitoring the movement of the train and further developed as a Fixed Block signaling system. Currently, the CBTC (Communication Based Train Control System) or Moving Block signaling system is the most advanced signaling system. It is the application of wireless communication technology to the bus system. For efficient control, tracking and flexible management can be adjusted according to the situation.
