Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0831006A1] The track section monitoring method uses a track occupation detection device (GFM) using relays (Rx,Ry) for providing a signal representing the occupation of the track section to a signal-box (STW). The track occupation detection device incorporates a fault detection function for indicating a fault at the signal-box when the closure contact (Kxs) of a track-free signalling relay (Rx) is open when the opening contact (Kyo) of a control relay (Ry) is also open.
