1979 – July – Wilkinson – Microprocessor Development on Westrail
Author(s):
Date presented:
P. Wilkinson Westrail Paper describes the development work by Westrail on a microprocessor base route setting CTC system with controller operation via a keyboard/display console. Advantages includes reduced capital cost, ease of operation, adaptability to stagework and some self-diagnosis of faults. A small engineering task force as allocated for investigation and design of a working system. Development system used included central processor unit (CPU) and memory, visual display unit (VDU) dual disc drive unit, printer, EPROM programmer and U.V. eraser. Information is provided on the various hardware components and software facilites and the design philosophy followed. Further development work on computerised track data aquisition and fault reporting is in course.
1950 – June – Hall – Interlocked Boom Gates

HF Hall AMIRSE AMIE (Aust) One of the major problems in Railway working is to provide adequate facilities for Roadways crossing the lines and having provided these facilities, to protect the road user from the consequence of coming into collision with railway vehicles. For many reasons, the problem of avoiding such! accidents has invariably devolved upon the railway authorities. The obvious solution is to avoid crossings, or where this utopian ideal cannot be attained, to cross the railway by means of overbridges or subways. It will be realised however, that geographical conditions and economic considerations very often render this impossible and so it is found that in a great number of cases the roadway crosses the railway by means of what we know as a level crossing, that is a crossing where the roadway and railway tracks are on the same plane.
