Design of Signaling Control Circuits for Railway Systems

Abstract

         This research aimed to design a simple control circuit for the electric train signaling system. It is an electrical signaling mechanism or computer system for controlling the train movement to be safe. The system will control and determine the direction of movement and the duration of the trains on the same track, including switching at the train station. The operation of the various devices in the system were designed to work together so that the train operator can make decision to operate the train with confidence and without confusion. The signaling system was developed into an automatic system and the track circuit system was an electrical circuit for checking the movement of the train and further developed into a fixed-size and unchanging periodic signaling system. The results of the experiment of the rail signaling system switch system showed that the electrical system worked normally, the switch worked well, and the movement of the model train running on the track while the battery was 26V had an average speed of 0.23m/s and an average speed of switch was 5.79 seconds.
