ATC and ATO systems in railway

In most of the countries, the railways have an important place in passenger transportation and load carrying. In recent years, big investments have been done for the railways transport in our country and thus the railways of Turkey which have been behind the times have been getting importance in railway passenger transportation and load carrying. But, these investments have been generally done as the technology importation. In Turkey, there are no firm or association which produce systems such as TMI, TSI, Moving Block which are the Train Traffic Management systems and ATS, ATP, ATO and ATC which are the Train Protection Systems and make research studies for improvement of these systems.The aim of this thesis is to perform the design and the application of the moving block system, which is one of the Train Traffic Management systems. In this scope, Train Traffic Management Method and Train Protection Systems are analysed in details and the basic logic is derived. A system called ?Moving Block and Communication Based Train Protection System? is designed as a Train Traffic Management Method and Train Protection System according to this basic logic. A prototype of this project is developed and it is tested between Malatya-Dilek train stations and successful results are obtained.SWITCH WORD:ATS (Automatic Train Stop), ATP (Automatic Train Protection), ATO (Automatic Train Operation), ATC (Automatic Train Control), TMİ (Central Traffic Management), TSİ (Traffic Management With Signals), Moving Block and Communication Basely Train Protection System
