Abstract (en)

A decommissioning system for decommissioning a section of a railway track, as well as interface mans for connecting a decommissioning system to a train safety system of the railway track. According to the invention, there is provided a decommissioning system for decommissioning a section of a railway track, comprising decommissioning means configured to decommission the section of the railway track and close it off to trains by generating an occupancy indication, communication means configured to receive a command to decommission the section of the railway track and to deliver status information regarding a section of the railway track that has or has not been decommissioned, control means configured to control the decommissioning means to decommission the section of the railway track on the basis of said command, interface mean which can be physically connected to a train safety system of the railway track on the one side and to the decommissioning means on the other side and which are configured to activate the decommissioning of the section of the railway track within the train safety supervision level on the basis of said command by generating an occupancy indication to the train safety system. When such a decommissioning system is used, the physical limitation of control within a single signal equipment building is removed, and it becomes possible to centrally control one, or usually several, sections of a railway track that are associated with different signal equipment buildings.
