 Abstract to Communication
Based Train Control (CBTC)

system using bidirectional train-ground communications to

ensure the safe operation of rail vehicles.
Most existing CBTC train-ground communication systems
work in the infrastructure mode without train-train
communications.
we use recent advances in cooperative relaying to enable
train-train communications and, consequently, enhance
/train control performance of CBTC systems
We jointly study the issues of migration decision and
collaborative delivery in CBTC systems.
Introduction to Communication Based
Train Control (CBTC):
in our topic ,we will discuss a modern railway signaling system because
*in many areas ,passengers trains face many problems
*the first is overcrowding and lack of efficiency and safety in traditional
train control systems
*such fixed mass signalling systems are limited in capacity and safety
for example running trains one building at a time this prolongs travel and
takes up people ‘s time
in addition, traditional signaling systems do not provide sufficient
information about train locations and speed ,which increases the dangers
and human errors, especially in bad weather conditions
everything we talked about previously leads us to pose the following
problematic :
How can we overcome the problem of congestion and avoid the resulting
dangers ,in addition to saving more time especially during peak hours ?
 signal system

1)a general sense, a signal system is a

framework or set of rules designed to
convey information from one point to
another
2)Signals: signal is a physical quantity or
an abstract symbol that carries
information. It can take various forms,
such as electrical signals in electronics,
sound waves in acoustics, or chemical
signals in biology.
 Railways

Railways have a long and storied history, transporting people and goods
across vast distances
*Types of Rail Systems
High-Speed Rail
Cutting-edge trains reaching speeds over 200 mph.
Commuter Rail
Heavy rail systems connecting suburbs to urban centers.
Light Rail
Electric urban rail transit with lower capacity than heavy rail.
Problems that existed before implementation CBTC
Before the implementation of Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) systems,
several problems plagued traditional train control systems

Fixed Block Inadequate

Limited Capacity Safety Concerns
Systems Communication

Manual Limited Limited Data

Dependency on
Operations Automation Collection and

Centralized Control System: The heart of Movement Authority

a CBTC system is the centralized control
system, which continuously monitors
train positions, speeds, and other
parameters. Based on this information,

Continuous Communication: Precise Train Tracking: Automated Train

CBTC uses precise train Control:
CBTC relies on continuous,
location detection to CBTC automates many
two-way communication provide exact knowledge of
between trains and wayside train control functions,
equipment to monitor and control train train positions and speeds improving safety and
movements efficiency compared to
manual systems.
