Digital Signal Processing - Innovation of an Automatic Train Protection System

November 2001 | Ivan Konecný, Jirí Pinker

The paper describes a digital receiver developed for the mobile part of the automatic train protection system. The device, which was developed for the Czech Railways, exhibits high fault-tolerance, interference tolerance and fail-safe properties, as required in railways. The receiver makes use of algorithms for spectral analysis. Intensive laboratory tests have yielded promising results.
