A review of safety and security procedures relating to the railway in France, particularly in regard to physical signalling practices and control of trains, but also looking at train handling and procedures at stations.
The book looks in detail at the various technical operating systems that are in place to ensure the safety and regularity of rail traffic. The evolution of train control can be seen, with separate chapters looking at each major step forward and separate chapters for urban networks, high speed and metre gauge line controls.
Technologie et Systèmes de Sécurité Ferroviaire is principally intended as a guidebook for students of the railway and it is hoped will allow the reader to acquire solid technical knowledge in the field of fixed safety installations and the technical operation of the railway.
Includes many illustrations and diagrams, as well as a useful glossary of terms. French text. 240 pages.
