Automated train control systems

Automated train control systems are technology-driven methods used to manage train movements safely and efficiently without human operators. They monitor train positions, speeds, and track conditions in real-time, automatically adjusting speed or stopping trains to prevent collisions, ensure timely operations, and maintain safe distances. These systems improve safety, reduce delays, and optimize rail network capacity by coordinating train movements precisely, often using signals, sensors, and computer algorithms. Essentially, they act as an intelligent traffic management system for trains, ensuring smoother, safer, and more reliable railway operations.
