Development of railway signaling

The article explores information communications in the railway sector. An analysis of the existing and modern functions of railway signaling is given. The need for the emergence of an information transport space is described. The content of the three main functions of the information transport space is revealed. An analysis of three communication levels of the European train traffic control system is given. The evolution of communication and control during the transition from level to level is shown. The content of the railway signaling control system is revealed, which uses telecommunications between the train and track equipment for traffic control and infrastructure control. The local purpose of a train signaling/control system is to prevent collisions as trains move along the railway tracks. The global goal of a communicationbased train control signaling system is to increase railway capacity by safely reducing the time interval between trains moving along the line.
