Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1832493A1] The system has a communication unit (7) communicating with a detection unit (4) of a short railway circuit (3). The unit (4) detects presence/absence of the train on the circuit (3). A calculation unit (9) calculates the distance traveled by the train between an instant in which the train holds the circuit (3) and an instant in which the train releases the circuit (3). The distance is expressed in the form of a confidence interval so that the probability that the train has not traveled a distance included in the interval is lower than probability compatible with standard railway safety. An independent claim is also included for a method of verifying an integrity of a train of a determined length.
