Study Notes

Automatic Colour Light Signalling

Automatic block working controls train movement via automatic stop signals.
These signals operate automatically as trains enter and exit sections.
Sections are track-circuited and controlled by automatic stop signals.

Adequate Distance/Overlap

A minimum of 120 meters overlap is required between signalling sections.
This prevents signals from becoming blank and ensures section/train safety.

Automatic Stop Signals

Signalling is numbered, either odd or even, to identify the location.
Numbers are also assigned referencing the km marker and signal location.
The numbering method simplifies signal identification for maintenance personnel.

Track Circuits

Track circuits are essential for automatic operation.
Their layout and aspect control are designed according to specific railway guidelines.
Circuit configurations depend on local conditions (e.g., types of electric traction).

Red Lamp Protection

A circuit is needed to prevent blank signals if the red lamp fails.
This method involves using additional relays (such as 3GECPR & 3 RECR).
The relays act to safeguard signalling when the red lamp is out and the signal is not blank.
