BASIC PRINCIPLES OF RECOVERY OF INTERVAL REGULATION OF TRAIN TRAFFIC USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

The article presents the basic principles of functioning of the interval regulation system of train traffic proposed for implementation, which are the basis for further, more detailed design. The sys- tem is based on the use of radio frequency identifiers (RFID-tags) to determine the coordinates of the location of the rolling stock and assumes work on principles different from those currently existing. So, the principle of overlapping traffic lights allows the movement of trains of non-standard formations (armored trains, trains with cover platforms, etc.). A special approach to the organization of protective sections behind the tail of a moving train is considered. The proposed technology is a special system aimed at solving a certain range of wartime tasks, therefore, it uses a two-digit signaling (prohibiting movement red signal, permitting movement green signal). This feature is due to the need to ensure the maximum simplicity of this technical tool, the possibility of rapid deployment and short-term recovery. The basic principles described in the article are not a complete description of the dependencies and algorithms implemented in the system, but only the initial stage of further development of fundamental technical solutions.
