Railway data - Traffic management systems

Traffic management system means the technical or manual safety solution used to monitor and control a runway. There are several different systems. system H Based on the presence of complete signal switchgear at the operating sites and line blockage on the line. The operating sites are either guarded or closed. system M Based on the line being monitored by two signallers without the use of line blocking or radio blocking. The operating sites can be monitored by manual methods with the support of simple signal switchgear, but can also have complete signal switchgear. It may happen that operational sites are unattended, guarded or closed. system S is based on the line being monitored by manual means by only one signaller. There are no operating sites, but there are line locations without main tracks. The boundaries of these lines are marked with boards. Inside these boards, all tracks are sidings. The line otherwise has main tracks, also past other line locations. No train journeys can be made in system S, but all movements on the line shall take place as a blockage. system R Based on the line and operating locations being monitored by radio-blocking. The operating sites are either guarded or closed. system F Based on the line and operating locations being monitored by manual means by only one signaller. On the operating sites there are only sidings, and all movements there take the form of visibility movement. The operating sites are guarded. system E1 Based on the monitoring of the line and the operational sites using level 1 of the European Control-Command System ERTMS. The operating sites are guarded. system E2 Based on the line and operational locations being monitored using level 2 of the European Control-Command System ERTMS. The operating sites are guarded. system E3 Based on the European Control-Command System ERTMS level 3 monitoring of the line and operational sites. The operating sites are guarded.
