THE INFLUENCE OF TRACK CIRCUIT PARAMETER VARIATION ON MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE LENGTH

In an article published in Rail International in June 1974. this author described a method for determining the maximum length and optimum terminal impedance for track circuits which are compatible with the system and the parameters defined in that paper. These parameters were assumed to be constant. This second article is a study of the influence of parameter variations on the maximum permissible length of circuits. The author discusses line resistance, line inductivity and terminal resistance to signals.
