systems for use in a track-to-train communication are examined.
These coils are used to convey fixed information, such as the
physical limitation of the track on speed, to a moving train.
A telegram consists of a number of coils and occurs at various
locations along the track. At present only one bit of
information is derived per telegram coil and this severely
limits the amount of information that can be transmitted,
especially in the vicinity of junctions where a lot of
information transmission is required. These coils are also
restricted to sleeper spacing. [Continues.]
