COLLISION AVOIDANCE METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to a technique for avoiding collision between trains, wherein a method comprises quipping a plurality of trains (12, 14, 16, 18) each with a transceiver (34), broadcasting a signal periodically from said transceiver (34) of each train (12, 14, 16, 18), said signal comprising a unique identification of a respective said train and a unique identification of a track said respective said train is moving on, receiving at said transceiver (34) of each train (12, 14, 16, 18) said signal broadcasted by each other train within a range, analyzing the received signals to extract said unique identification of each other train and said unique identification of said track each other train is moving on, determining if the track of the train receiving said signal and any of each other train within said range is same and providing an indication if the track of the recipient train and any of each other train within said range is same.
