Positive Train Control
PTC - PBE Group (PBE)
Positive Train Control (PTC) Systems help in preventing accidents caused by train operators or dispatcher errors and characteristics include:
- Train separation or collision avoidance
- Line speed enforcement
- Temporary speed restrictions
- Rail worker wayside safety
Providing the required radio coverage in railroad tunnels often presents a challenge especially for real-time applications like PTC. PBE offers a Positive Train Control Safety System (PTC) that provides 220 - MHz/LTE signals re-broadcast over radiating cable into the railroad tunnels.
For longer coverage PBE customises solution based on the tunnel configuration/customer requirement. PBE positive train controls technology provides amplifiers to extend the coverage inside the tunnel. Remote monitoring and diagnostics is offered by PBE to view the status and health of the system. Providing this level of control not only increases safety but also provide significant maintenance reduction costs.
