Home Mission Technology Patents Contacts Home The public railway transportation has started an epochal change, becoming a real competitor of the air transportation with high speed trains and introducing an economic system to cover great distances. The development of adequate security systems is a natural consequence if we consider the moving block separation the future for railways and metro systems; the elevated travelling speed need a safe and reliable technology to prevent enormous disasters that potential collisions due to the “human error” could provoke. High safety level requires that the train becomes place of active calculation where elaborations, in past remitted only to the control centers, today are performed on-board rendering “intelligent” the convoy. 300 Km/h is equivalent approximately 85 m/s; 10 seconds of communication/reaction mean approximately 1 Km run by the convoy; in order to stop the convoy in emergency the machinist, very frequently, does not have 1 km of visibility. In a parallelism with the aeronautical systems, where there are two ways to fly, the restricted method from the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) for the flight at sight, and from the IFR (Instrumental Flight Rules) for the night flight, today a machinist of a high speed train can be compared to an airline pilot; therefore he perfectly knows the convoy conduction using only on-board instrumentation.
