A computer simulation model of train operations in CTC territory

Published:18 May 1971Publication History

ABSTRACT

CENTRALIZED TRAFFIC CONTROL (CTC) is a system which controls the movement of trains. One train dispatcher, located at a central point, can manipulate the position of track switches and the indication of track signals through the use of a series of push buttons. It is the position of the track switches and the signal indications which govern the progress of the trains through the CTC system. A schematic of a section of single track with a siding and a section of double track is shown in Exhibit I. The CTC Simulation is a model of the train movements through a CTC system.
