The digital integration and cross linking of safety- relevant railway components
The cross linking of rail components is a crucial requirement in signalling. So far, this requirement has often been implemented in existing systems, such as relay and electronic interlockings, using conventional wiring which entails high wiring costs. The ZoSlink system, which is the subject of this article, is an alternative and cost-effective safety solution that surveys and processes information from existing signalling components, transmits the data over an existing wired or wireless network and finally reproduces it...
