SIMPLIFYING SIGNAL DESIGN

GEO (Geographic Signaling) is a new way of designing signal systems and their inherently complex logic. Basically, GEO turns signal system design into a "drag and drop" exercise, using a graphical computer interface. The first installation of GEO will be on Canadian National's River Subdivision in Manitoba; details are being finalized for the installation on Union Pacific; and discussion have begun on a third railroad.
