Railway traffic management course

The management of railway traffic or railway traffic is the set of techniques, rules and organizational procedures that make it possible to ensure that the running of trains complies with safety conditions, to prevent a running train from encountering a collision with another train, and regular compliance with the planned operating program, to the benefit of the users of the service. Rail traffic management is implemented: in line by controlling the succession of trains traveling in the same direction of travel or in the station by appropriately organizing the movement of each train. Safety is implicitly guaranteed if there is only one train on a railway line. But, if there are more than one trains and they can run in both directions, it is necessary to adopt suitable means and procedures to ensure that no train encounters obstacles on the path that has been assigned to it. From this arises the main objective of railway traffic: the distance between trains, which consists in maintaining, between a train and those preceding it, a greater distance to the stopping space. In the Italian lines there are the main types of automatic block: automatic electric block with track circuits, automatic electric block with coded currents and electric block with axle counter. a greater distance to the stopping distance.
