Train control enhanced by modern
communications technology
The overall performance of a rail rapid transit system depends largely
on the performance of the automatic train control (ATC) system
employed. A communication-based train control (CBTC) system is
devised by adding modern communication technologies to the ATC
concept.
CBTC signalling is currently standardised in accordance with
IEEE 1474.1 and has become the reference technology for metro
operators worldwide.
IEEE defines CBTC as a continuous automatic train control system
utilising
* High-resolution train location determination, independent of track
circuits
* Continuous, high-capacity, two-way train-to-trackside data
communications
* Trainborne and trackside processors capable of performing
essential functions
