MEASURING DEVICES OF TESTING CAR FOR SIGNAL APPARATUS

The measuring devices used for testing the wayside signal equipment of Japanese National Railways are described. All these are mounted on the high-speed inspection cars used on the New Tokaido line and on the conventional network. The functions checked are the ground coil for the automatic train stop device, the detector circuits used for grade crossing protection devices, and the regular track circuits. An elapsed distance system is also used for correlating measurements on the digital output tape. A computerized system is under study.
