Safetran VIU-ACSES Field Encoder monitors wayside status information and sends track signal states through the ground network to locomotives.. The on-board equipment consists of a computer that also stores the route characteristics database, a distance measurement subsystem to track train position, an antenna subsystem for the track mounted balises, and a data radio subsystem for communication ...
1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge The 100 Series are a series of underground railway cars manufactured by Alstom in Brazil and Argentina for use on the Buenos Aires Underground . They are used on Line D of the network, where they make up the vast majority of the fleet, serving alongside some 300 Series and Fiat-Materfer cars .
Alstom SSI Modules There are two kinds of TFM; the signal module (identified by a red label) and the points module (black label). A maximum of 63 TFMs may be addressed by one SSI interlocking; in practice the number will be limited by timing issues and the need to allow for future expansion.
In November 2013, Alstom announced it planned to raise €1 to €2 billion through sale of some non-core assets, plus the possible sale of a stake in Alstom Transport, and cut 1,300 jobs. [ 48 ] [ 49 ] In 2014, Alstom sold its steam auxiliary components activities (air preheaters and gas-gas heaters for thermal power, other industrial heat ...
General Railway Signal was one of the 30 stocks when the Dow Jones Industrial Average [3] was expanded from a 20-stock average on October 1, 1928. It was replaced in the DJIA by Liggett & Myers on July 18, 1930. In 1965, General Signal Corporation (GSX) was created with the intent to diversify into areas other than railway signaling.
The EBICab 900 system uses wayside balises with signal encoders or series communications with electronic lookup table, and on-board equipment on the train. The transmission of data occurs between the passive wayside balises (between 2 and 4 per signal) and the antenna installed under the train, which powers the balises when it passes over the ...
SACEM cab signalling on the MI 2N Altéo, showing a speed limit of 30 km/h (19 mph). The SACEM system enables a train to receive signals from devices under the tracks. [6] A receiver in the train cabin interprets the signal, and sends data to the console so the driver can see it.
D-ATC indicator used on the E233 series trains. The digital ATC system uses the track circuits to detect the presence of a train in the section and then transmits digital data from wayside equipment to the train on the track circuit numbers, the number of clear sections (track circuits) to the next train ahead, and the platform that the train will arrive at.
