Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0739802A2] The track occupation monitoring system uses a redundant processing system coupled to a number of axle counting points (ZP1,...ZP4) along the monitored track section, for counting the number of train axles entering and leaving the latter to supply a track occupation signal used for signalling and/or points switching applications. When one of the axle counting points (ZP2) fails, the adjacent intact axle counting points (ZP1,ZP4) are used as the entry and exit points of a virtual track section (VA) encompassing the track sections (A1,A2) on either side of the failed axle counting point. A change in the occupation condition of the virtual track section is indicated as a change in the occupation condition of the latter track sections.
