Integration of Automatic Train Warning into the BEST interlocking simulation
To increase the safety of track workers during maintenance works, Infrabel has introduced the Automatic Train Warning system (ATW) at the beginning of 2014. Before the roll-out of this system however, operators had to be trained and the system had to be intensively tested. Both tasks were realised with the ATW extension of the BEST simulator developed by Scheidt & Bachmann and Tran-SYS. The introduction of ATW as well as its implementation in the BEST simulator is discussed in the present article.
