hello sir,
I'm going to work on a new project of railway signalling.I dont know anything about it.So I request you to send a detail project report about this topic.I would be very thankful to you if you provide this
Railway signaling is a system used to direct rail traffic and keep trains free between them at all times. The trains move on fixed rails, making them only susceptible to collision. This susceptibility is exacerbated by the enormous weight and inertia of a train, making it difficult to stop quickly when encountering an obstacle. In the United Kingdom, Law 1889 of the Railways Regulation introduced a series of requirements on issues such as the application of blocked signaling between blocks and other safety measures as a direct result of the Armagh rail disaster in that year.
Most forms of train control imply that the movement authority moves from those responsible for each section of a railroad network (for example, a signpost or stationmaster) to the train crew. The set of rules and the physical equipment used to accomplish this determine what is known as the working method (UK), the method of operation (US) or work safety (Aus.). Not all of these methods require the use of physical signals, and some systems are specific to single track railways.
The first wagons were first transported by horses or mules. A helmsman riding a horse preceded some early trains. Hand and arm signals were used to direct the "train drivers". The conditions of fog and bad visibility gave rise to flags and lanterns. The road side signage dates back to 1832, and used raised flags or balls that could be seen from afar.
