Incremental Train Control System (ITCS)

Greater capacity… now arriving daily
Using existing signals or creating its own virtual signals, ITCS from GE-Transportation wirelessly communicates train movement authority as though the territory were operating under centralized traffic control. With its precision management and shortened blocks, this system can effectively double the line capacity possible with traditional control methods.

Overview

* Wireless train movement communication
* Replaces or augments existing wayside signaling
* Stand-alone capability in new installations or dark territory
* On-board map with local speed limit, signal and geographic track information 
* Commuter, freight and passenger applications

Benefits & Value

* Increased maximum train velocity and greater line capacity
* Improved safety through on-board displays and speed enforcement 
* Reduced/eliminated need for wayside devices
* No physical block limitations on speed limits and head ways 
* Reduced maintenance compared to conventional wayside signaling
