Abstract:
When an event prevents a train from moving along a route in a nominal direction, this method makes it possible to cause it to circulate in an opposite direction by: selecting ( 120 ) an origin zone and an output signal; drawing ( 130 ) a pseudo-route on the successive zones between the origin zone and the output signal; opening ( 140 ) the pseudo-route by associating a sub-route with each zone, corresponding to the reservation of said zone for said train; informing ( 150 ) the train that it must circulate in the opposite direction; determining ( 160 ) a movement authorization for the train from sub-routes that are open and a list of obstacles that is updated regularly; sending ( 180 ) the movement authorization to the train, the determination ( 160 ) and transmission ( 170 ) steps being iterated until the train crosses the output signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for managing the circulation of a train along a section of a railroad track, implemented by a signaling system of the CBTC type, the signaling system being able, in a nominal mode, to define a route on the section allowing the circulation of the train in a nominal circulation direction, the route extending over a plurality of successive zones between an origin signal and a destination signal, characterized in that the method consists, in case of occurrence of an event preventing the train from continuing its movement along the route, of causing the train to circulate in a circulation direction opposite the nominal circulation direction by:\n selecting an origin zone and an output signal; tracing, via a supervision system of the signaling system, a pseudo-route for the train on successive zones between the origin zone and the output signal; opening via an interlocking device of the signaling system, the pseudo-route by associating each zone between the origin zone and the output signal with a sub-route, each sub-route corresponding to the reservation of said zone for the train in the opposite circulation direction; informing the train that it must modify its current circulation direction so that its current circulation corresponds to the opposite circulation; and determining, via a zone controller of the signaling system, a movement authorization for the train from the current circulation direction of the train and sub-routes open for said train and taking into account a list of obstacles regularly updated by the zone controller; sending the movement authorization to the train to control the movement of the train, the steps for determining and sending a movement authorization being iterated until the train crosses the output signal.
