200011 – Kohbor – Justification from Conventional Signalling to Computer Based Interlocking and Automatic Train Protection

Efficient management of train operation to meet the safety, reliability, availability and
faster journey demands for more sophisticated and cost effective technologies which would reduce the risks of human errors and provides for a safer and more reliable journey to commuters.

Hence the aim of this submission is to present and discuss the advantages that could be achieved from new railway signalling technologies and associated savings. This would make our justification easier for changes to a safer transport system, reduction and/or elimination of wayside signalling equipment and related cost of maintenance and train accidents.
