Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005095175A1] The effects of low adhesion on the operation of trains on a railway are minimised by obtaining data on a multiplicity of factors which affect the risk of low adhesion, and processing the data so as to generate predictions as to which sections of line have low adhesion. These predictions are supplied to a train-­control signaling centre, which controls the movement of trains in accordance with the predictions. A warning message is also provided to the driver of any train that is about to enter a part of the railway predicted to have low adhesion. The sections of line predicted as having low adhesion may be displayed on a route diagram in the train-control signaling centre.
