ABTC-I Computer-Based Auto Block System with Audio-Frequency Track Circuits

ABTC-I System with Audio-Track Circuits is designed for interval control and ensures train traffic safety.

ABTC-I Computer-Based Auto Block System with Audio-Track Circuits is designed for interval control and ensures train traffic safety at single-, double- and multi-track railway lines, including high-speed lines.

ABTC-I is one of the most modern train spacing systems. No regulation of modules due to computer based parts used in ABTC-I. The Complex Waveform Module generates and amplifies track circuit control signals, ALSN and ALS-EN signals that increases reliability and minimizes required area in relay room.

Auto Block System could be interfaced both with computer based and electric interlockings. It does not require any adjustment during the operation.

ABTC-I is a part of SINTERA Train Spacing System via radiochannel. SINTERS application increases train traffic capacity on railways across Russia and abroad by reducing the train spacing. In its final form SINTERA system will be the improved functional alternative to ERTMS/ETCS systems Level 2 and 3.

Application

  1. Train spacing and ensuring traffic safety at railway lines of all categories.
  2. Increased thoughput capacity of a line.
  3. Reduced construction and running costs.
  4. Improved control efficiency and personnel work environment.

Advantages

  • Fully non-relay system.
  • Embedded diagnostic, monitoring and event logging.
  • Interfacing with MPC-I Interlocking via digital interface.
  • Advanced resistance to impulse, swithcing and lightning overvoltage.
  • Approved cybersecurity.
  • FSTEK Certificate for protection against undeclared capabilities and unauthorized access.

Railway Segments

  • High speed lines.
  • Track sections with any type of traction, single-, double- and multitrack hauls on railways of any categories.
