DUTCH RAILWAYS SIGNALLING MODERNISATION VISITED BY THE INSTITUTION OF RAILWAY SIGNAL ENGINEERS

Integration of computer techniques and television displays into its existing system and extending automatic train control were activities which NS lectured and demonstrated to 120 signal engineers from several countries. The decision to install a.t.c. and to adopt the GRS equipment was made in 1963. It is a continuous system in that the signal is passed continuously to the train pick-up and unless this is so, the train cannot continue to run. An a.t.c. system has been installed between Utrecht and Lutterade, a distance of 140 km.
