PERFORMANCE TEST OF AN AUTOMATIC TRAIN POSITIONED STOP SYSTEM

The author shows the lay-outs provided on a vehicle incorporated in a train, as well as between the tracks on the Shin-Kansen line, in order to ensure that trains stop at a given point in Kyoto station. The installation operates at an approach speed of 70 km/h using multiplex equipment, with transmission and reception of signals on 72 KHz. The conventional train equipment has not been altered--the brakes are operated by this equipment, and by the control device, which receives the signals in accordance with the running speeds and the distance to the stopping point. The stopping distance is adjusted to some 0.05 m. As this technique has now been perfected, its practical application is expected very soon.
