SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR THE FUTURE TRAINSETS
EQUIPEMENTS DE SECURITE DES FUTURES RAMES
Choice has been made of the "cab signal" type system and a division of the fixed block sections with transmission of characteristic currents in the track circuits which simultaneously detect trains and process data to modulate the signalling up the line on the one hand and transmit by induction in the ground-train direction the signalling information thus modulated in the driving cab on the other. The manual driving system has been adopted but it is supplemented by equipment for monitoring the driver's behaviour automatically. The author considers the technical aspects, the safety aspects and the technological choice that has been made, placing emphasis on the need for absolute reliability in the equipment.
