Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3339133A1] The present invention concerns a method and a system for triggering a sending of a movement authority to a guided vehicle (A) moving on a track (1) of a railway network from a first track section (10) towards a second track section (11) limited by a boundary (15), said method comprising: - acquiring an image of the first track section (10) including the boundary (15) by means of a camera system (31) of a trackside device; - analyzing by means of a processing unit (32) the image acquired by the camera system (31) in order to detect a presence of the guided vehicle (A) in the acquired image of the first track section (10); - if the presence of the guided vehicle (A) is detected by the processing unit (32), then identifying the guided vehicle (A) by means of said processing unit (32); - if the detected guided vehicle (A) has been identified by the processing unit (32), then determining if a portion of track (1) separating a front end of the detected guided vehicle (A) from the boundary (15) is free of any obstacle; - if the detected guided vehicle has been identified and if the portion of track (1) has been determined to be free of any obstacle by the processing unit (32), then triggering a sending of a movement authority to the detected and identified guided vehicle (A) by means of said processing unit (32).
