Joe Posted February 6, 2009 Share #26 Posted February 6, 2009 So does anyone know how it tracks trains within the confines of a signal block? I thought all the system knew was that train X was between signal 2 & 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I don't know anything about how CBTC works, but it sounds like the train continually transmits how much distance it's traveled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted February 6, 2009 Share #29 Posted February 6, 2009 yup. The tracks have trackers along the track that communicate with the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
