RADIO AND CTC WILL OPTIMIZE LINE CAPACITY
Bulk coal and iron ore movements superimposed on a general rise in traffic made it essential to equip trunk routes and key junctions with modern signalling. Once control is centralised it becomes possible for computers to take basic routing decisions, optimize movements so as to give priority to loaded trains and take other energy-saving measures. Signalling will be backed by radio to assist in regulating traffic and keep trains moving when there is an equipment failure.
