CABLELESS TELEVISION MONITORING IN THE AMSTERDAM METRO

A carrier-frequency operated cableless television monitoring system is described which was installed in Amsterdam Metro to monitor both station and train operations. Pictures from two cameras on the platform are electronically combined and transmitted to the screen in the cab to give the driver a clear view of all doors of a 150 m long train. It has been shown that the same carrier-frequency band can be used on neighboring tracks in the same station without any mutual interference in television reception.
