RAILROAD SIGNALING AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING A FAIL-SAFE VOLTAGE SENSOR TO VERIFY TRACKSIDE CONDITIONS IN SAFETY-CRITICAL RAILROAD APPLICATIONS
A method and system for verifying trackside conditions in safety critical railroad applications by reporting the status of trackside signals and switches to a remote train control system. The system comprises at least one sensor for providing trackside conditions electrically connected to a circuit for providing trackside conditions to a railroad, said sensor being powered by voltage applied to the circuit such that the sensor is energized only when said electrical component is engaged. The system and method further comprises a method and system which is failsafe and which enables the control system to independently verify signals from each sensor.
