SIGNALING ON THE VERY HIGH SPEED LINE

LA SIGNALISATION DE LA LIGNE A TRES GRANDE VITESSE

The solutions adopted for the signalling system described take account of the special features of the line: service operated with identical trains, relatively straight track, no level crosslings, two very simple stations, fairly steep up and down gradients which can affect traffic flow. The author describes the technical characteristics of the signalling system: track-machine transmission, on-board equipment. The points will be switched by electric motors operated from remote-controlled free-lever signal boxes. Traffic will be controlled from a single central point with three functions: control of points, control of traffic, regulation of electric power.
