IMPROVED SPEED MONITORING WITH AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL

AUSBAU DER GESCHWINDIGKEITSUEBERWACHUNG BEI DER INDUKTIVEN ZUGBEEINFLUSSUNG

Existing automatic train control (A.T.C.) is to be augmented with intermittent monitoring to ensure correct train braking. A.T.C. equipment is described. By adding an electronic braking-distance monitor, it is possible to have distant-dependent, continuous speed control after application of 1,000 or 500 Hz induction so that the train is braked automatically every time the permitted speed is exceeded.
