Signal
Signal is an indication given to a Train
Operator for controlling the movement of the
train.
ISO 9001:2008
Signal Aspect: ON Aspect
ON: It is the most restrictive aspect of the signal TO is not allowed to pass this
signal
ISO 9001:2008
Signal Aspect: OFF Aspect
OFF: It is the permissive aspect of the signal and TO is allowed to pass this signal
ISO 9001:2008
Types Of Signal
Cab signal
Fixed Signal
Hand Signal
ISO 9001:2008
Cab Signal
Cab Signal:- It is a signal displayed as a speed code on the train operator’s
console granting him the authority of proceed

ISO 9001:2008
Types of Route Indicator
M: Main Route is set
D: 1st Diverted route is set
S: Second Diverted route is set
ISO 9001:2008
Signal Aspect Meaning
Green: Proceed ( Route is Set & Locked & fully clear)
Violet: Conditional Proceed
For Train running under the authority of fixed signal-Stop
For train running under the authority of cab signal- proceed
Red:- Route is not set and locked or route is set & locked but
first track circuit of the route is occupied or there is a signalling
failure

Hand Signal
Hand Signal: It is a manual signal used for shunting of work trains in depot or at the
site of work or in extreme emergency in case of failure of cab signal or fixed signal.
ISO 9001:2008
Hand Signal OFF aspect
ISO 9001:2008
Hand Signal ‘ON’ aspect
Any light other than green or any object
waived violently shall be treated as stop.
“ STOP” shall be indicated by
A red lamp
Raising of both arms above the head
Waving a white light rapidly from side to side
A red flag

Track Circuit
Track Circuit is an electrical circuit, which is
used to detect the presence of a railway vehicle
on a portion of track.
ISO 9001:2008
SDTC
ISO 9001:2008
SDTC Function
1.To Detect presence of vehicle
on a track
2.To provide path for SACEM
Message (Continuous message)
coming from trackside ATC and
going to train borne ATC for cab
signal generation

ISO 9001:2008
EKT
Electrical Key Transmitter (EKT) is an electromechanical authorization box which is
located inside SCR to hold the key for point manual operation. The key can be removed
from the box after the Station Controller (SC) gives authorization.
ISO 9001:2008
ASCV
ASCV or CBI (Computer
Based Interlocking) is an
equipment, which provides
an arrangement between
signaling gears
interconnected by electronic
locking so that signaling
gear operation must take
place in proper sequence to
ensure safety.

MPD
Mimic Panel Display (MPD) is a signaling display panel provided in
Operational Control Centre (OCC) to facilitate signaling gear and
train supervision.
