SPOORPLAN (GEOGRAPHICAL TYPE) INTERLOCKING SYSTEM SPDRS U FOR URBAN RAILWAYS

Urban railways are characterized by short distances between stops, identical vehicle type overground and underground lines as well as close headway. For railways showing essentially these features, Siemens has developed and in several cases already placed in service the Spoorplan interlocking system SpDrS U. The building block technique of such interlocking systems considerably facilitates planning making available of building blocks, and assembly. The fail-safe function of all building blocks and their co-operation have passed successfully the inspections of the supervising authorities. The authors deal in detail with principle and function of this Spoorplan interlocking system.
