The article presents the basic principles of functioning of the interval regulation system of train
traffi c proposed for implementation, which are the basis for further, more detailed design. The system
is based on the use of radio frequency identifi ers (RFID-tags) to determine the coordinates of the
location of the rolling stock and assumes work on principles diff erent from those currently existing. So,
the principle of overlapping traffi c 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.
