The Analysis of Rail Traffic Control Systems
Šarūnas Mikaliūnas
Abstract
The systems used for rail traffic control are compared. Their advantages and disadvantages are analysed.
The present and future development of rail traffic control systems in various countries is considered.
The possibility of adapting these microprocessor-based traffic control systems to the conditions of Lithuania is analysed. For this purpose, the analysis of goods transported by Lithuanian railways is made, and the non-uniform amount of goods transported on different road sections is evaluated.
The number of the delayed trains due to the failure of traffic control systems in recent years is determined, the cost of installing a new microprocessor-based traffic control system at the railway station, as well as its repay time and the demand for employees are calculated.
