Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the principles of functional and technical safety of railway signaling systems and electronic relay. Attention is paid to railway interlocking systems in stations and safety equipment on the tracks.
After graduating from a student to a systems approach to the proposal as well as the realization of functions and technical solutions to the station and trackside signaling equipment. My overview of the approaches of other railway administrations and manufacturers on this issue.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of the course Fundamentals of security equipment in full, and knowledge of electrical engineering and electronics, and control rail traffic.
