Radio Block Center
Radio block center plays a key role in the radio-based train control system (RBTC) by controlling the current traffic situation and giving line clearance permissions depending on the location and speed of the train ahead, as well as other parameters.
The radio block center is intended for the collection, storage, logical processing of information from interfaces with controlled objects and on the basis of information received from the onboard safety systems (OB systems) about the location of trains, their integrity, transmission of information about the distance to the point of the targeted braking to the OB systems, permissible speed, including temporary and permanent speed restrictions according to the condition of the track and man-made facilities, and other information necessary for provision of safe train traffic. The radio block center, in addition, supports the exchange of information with the related train control systems.
