ATC EQUIPMENT FOR NEW SOBU LINE CARS OF JNR

The Sobu Line of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) recently added an underground section connecting Kinshicho Station to Tokyo Station, and the new section went into service in July 1972. This article describes the Type TS-7 automatic traffic control (ATC) equipment for electric railcars adopted on the new underground line. This ATC equipment employs a triple-system totally digital ring-calculation system and features high accuracy, high reliability, and fail-safe performance. The most outstanding feature is the ring calculation system which makes dynamic control possible. It is composed of fewer parts and simpler circuits, still ensuring high reliability and positive detection of faults. As such the ring calculation system is expected to find wide application.
