Abstract: This system includes a ground ATC and an on board ATC, which is switched from an “active” mode toward a “standby” mode and vice versa by a wake-up unit. In the “standby” mode, only the following components remain powered: odometry device; a main computer; a radio communication device between the on board ATC and the ground ATC; the wake-up unit. The main computer is programmed so as, in the “standby” mode, to verify that the movement of the train measured by the odometry device from the switching from the “active” mode to the “standby” mode is zero and, in the affirmative, to send the ground ATC an instantaneous position of the train using the radio communication device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for optimizing electric energy consumption of a plurality of vehicles connected to a same electric energy supply section. The method includes a step for determining (110) a preferred driving profile of a vehicle based on a current position of the vehicle and a destination of the vehicle, each preferred driving profile including a plurality of timeslots and for each timeslot, a desired traction value and/or a desired braking value. The method further includes steps for sending (120) of the preferred driving profile to an ATS system, acquisition (130) by an ATO system of the vehicle of an optimized driving profile generated by the ATS system, and application (140) of the optimized driving profile to the driving of the vehicle.

Abstract: When an event prevents a train from moving along a route in a nominal direction, this method makes it possible to cause it to circulate in an opposite direction by: selecting (120) an origin zone and an output signal; drawing (130) a pseudo-route on the successive zones between the origin zone and the output signal; opening (140) the pseudo-route by associating a sub-route with each zone, corresponding to the reservation of said zone for said train; informing (150) the train that it must circulate in the opposite direction; determining (160) a movement authorization for the train from sub-routes that are open and a list of obstacles that is updated regularly; sending (180) the movement authorization to the train, the determination (160) and transmission (170) steps being iterated until the train crosses the output signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, implemented in a supervision system for trains of the “communication-based train management” type, which includes the steps, carried out by a zone controller, including: during nominal operation, periodically saving an image of a current operational situation on an external memory; and, after a downtime period and rebooting of the zone controller: establishing an image of the operational situation after rebooting; recovering, from the external memory, the most recent saved image as image of the operational situation before failure; collecting information on the crossing of borders of the zone associated with the zone controller during the downtime period; and verifying the coherence of the image of the operational situation after rebooting from the image of the operational situation before failure and crossing information.

Abstract: A method for locating a railway vehicle in a railway network, including first detection devices detecting the passage of a railway vehicle in a first perimeter, second detection devices detecting the passage of a railway vehicle in a second perimeter and a centralized server, includes the following steps: detection, by one of the first detection devices, of the passage of the railway vehicle and sending of a first detection signal; detection, by one of the second detection devices, of the passage of the railway vehicle and sending of a second detection signal; and reception of the signals by the centralized server and determination of the position of the railway vehicle on the railway network by intersection of the first perimeter and the second perimeter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the circulation of vehicles in a network controlled by a control system managing the circulation of communicating vehicles according to a first mode, the first mode managing the movement of the communicating vehicle toward the end terminal of a first section in which a non-communicating vehicle has been detected by implementing a discrimination step eliminating any protection zone located the moving vehicle, when a distance between the communicating vehicle and said end terminal is smaller than a threshold, the method comprising switching into a second mode, when the communicating vehicle enters the first section, the second mode inhibiting the implementation of the discrimination step at least in the first section.
