ATC railway intelligent network system

This paper introduces application examples of information technology as it is applied in several fields of the railway system, namely transportation and safety, service, maintenance and the Internet. This paper shows that safety, efficiency and convenience have been improved in the areas of railway use, operations and maintenance Traditionally, equipment used by railways have been grouped in vital and non-vital equipment. Vital equipment shall work in a fail-safe way. Interlocking and level crossing units are examples of vital equipment, and the train dispatching panel is an example of non-vital equipment. These factors are related to the introduction of new technologies and equipment, the design of interoperable railway networks in Europe, and the new strong competition in the market of railway products. This paper presents LIVE (Low-Intrusion Validation Environment), the validation environment developed at ANSALDO CRIS to experimentally evaluate the dependability of the new families of computer-based railway control systems. It is obvious that ATC system which focuses on adjusting train movements has a really high priority. Safe and comfort travels, improving speed characteristics and also reduction of crashes which occur due to human mistakes are some of considerable merits of ATC systems. In this paper during introducing ATC systems, some of disadvantages of traditional ATC system and also ATC system developments will be assessed. Finally an intelligent algorithm for train automatic control system will be introduced which is in accordance with the future indexes of ATC system
