INTERFACING AN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TRAIN SPEED RECORDING DEVICE TO A COMPUTER-SUPPORTED SAFETY SYSTEM

The Finnish State Railways intend to introduce, on certain sections of their railway network, an automatic train safety and monitoring system. At the same time, however, they wish to continue using the well proven Hasler locomotive tachograph of the electromechanical type which is currently installed in their locomotives. This article describes the changes which were necessary to allow the Hasler system to meet the new requirements.
