The module development for remote control signals of an automatic locomotive signaling system in railway transport

Abstract

In the field of automation and telemechanics, the main task is to improve the automatic locomotive signaling system (ALS), including the creation of a complex of remote measuring devices using wireless, microprocessor and digital technologies to eliminate malfunctions on railway sections of automatic and semi-automatic locking. This article presents an analysis of errors in traffic light indicators and the automatic locomotive signaling system by month from the time of the year, which affect the speed of trains, namely, due to a false indicator, the speed decreases, this leads to lagging behind schedule, thereby due to the lack of timely arrival of trains, the company incurs financial losses. All malfunctions arising from a system failure are represented by mathematical expressions, on the basis of which recommendations for elimination are given. A module for receiving information from the locomotive's ALS was developed based on modern wireless technologies, and for the accuracy of checking the system, a stand based on the locomotive's ALS blocks for measuring signals was developed, which corresponded to the exact readings of the parameters of the ALS code signals. The developed module provides an opportunity to instantly notify the site's electromechanics of identified deficiencies in the ALS system.
