Railway signalling is an integral part of the rail industry, providing a safe and efficient way for trains to travel. It involves the installation of equipment and systems that control the movement of trains, including track circuits, signals, points, and interlockings. Signalling systems are designed to ensure that trains are routed safely and efficiently, and that they do not collide with each other. Signalling systems are typically divided into two categories: fixed block and moving block. Fixed block systems use track circuits to detect the presence of a train and to control the signals. Moving block systems use a combination of track circuits and radio communication to detect the presence of a train and to control the signals. Signalling systems are also used to control the speed of trains, to provide information to the train driver, and to provide information to the train operator. Signalling systems are also used to provide information to the public, such as train arrival and departure times. The railway signalling market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a range of products and services. Some of the major players in the market include Siemens, Thales, Alstom, Bombardier, and Hitachi. Show Less Read more
