Overview
Background & policy context:
Railway authorities normally utilise some kind of train protection system apart from the normal signal system, to be able to run trains safely. These are more or less tolerant to driver mistakes and are called Automatic Train Protection (ATP) systems. They consist of equipment mounted along the wayside, i.e. the tracks, and equipment mounted onboard each locomotive. Some railway authorities such as the ROMANIAN STATE RAILWAYS (SNCFR), currently have an old ATP system type INDUSI 1.60.
Objectives:
The aim is to apply this technology to the local conditions, starting with ROMANIA and SNCFR (the Romanian National Railway). In order to certify the equipment for use in ROMANIA, a certification procedure needs to be supported by the project.
