ANORDNING FOR AVSTANDSSTYRNING OCH -SEKRING AV I SAMMA RIKTNING TRAFIKERANDE SPARBUNDNA OBJEKT I EN FORGRENING

摘要

The present safeguarding apparatus assures that successive bodies, such as vehicles on a track, will not bump into each other even where the vehicles must pass through a track junction to travel in different directions. The bodies are equipped with transmitter and receiver means and the tracks are equipped with first and second attenuated electrical conductor means for transmitting signals from a preceding body to a succeeding body to measure the spacing between these bodies. Said first and second attenuated electrical conductor means are interconnected with each other by further conductor means at least in the area of said junction in such a manner that feeding a signal into the first or second electrical conductor at any given point in said junction area corresponds substantially to feeding said signal into the respective other of said first or second electrical conductor means at the respective opposite point.
