Popis: An electronic token based blocking system has been used on secondary lines since the 1980s, and has contributed to more efficient administration of those sections. However, development of an alternative system is now required due to obsolescence and subsequent lack in supply of spare equipment. A new train control system was therefore designed relying on 2.4GHz band radio communication, for which a license is not required. This approach avoids having to replace the entire older system, and has demonstrated excellent performance in system replacement, since conventional equipment is still used as much as possible. The new system not only allows uncomplicated extensions of certain functions, but also overcomes some problems encountered with the conventional system. After performing field tests it was confirmed that the system performed basic functions without any problems.
