Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) System
Metro Signalling System
Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) systems, traditional track-based interlocking and wayside train control are replaced by a continuous on-board positioning function and seamless data exchange with the wayside infrastructure. The reliability of the on-board train positioning system is crucial for ensuring safe train operations while allowing a significantly higher throughput compared to traditional interlocking methods. This advanced solution is also well-suited for rubber-wheel and mono/mag-rail systems.
TagMaster RFID systems boast a proven track record, smoothly integrated into major CBTC systems currently available on the market. They have been successfully operating for many years in major metro installations worldwide, showcasing their reliability and efficiency.

Fixed Block
Track based Fix Block Interlocking reserve free track space for the theoretical worst case, regardless of the actual situation, leaving a lot of unused track most of the time.
Moving Block
Moving Block Interlocking continuously adjust the safety distance between the trains to the actual situation with respect to current speed, weight and maximum braking force, allowing the trains to move closer together at low speed.
Accurate Positioning (APOS)
The TagMaster Accurate Positioning function reports the precise time to the onboard CBTC Train Controller, when the onboard HD Reader passes the dead center of the Beacon on the track.
Enhancing efficient and safe operation in Metro Signalling
TagMaster CBTC RFID positioning solutions offer unparalleled benefits, including:
Highly Accurate Positioning
The TagMaster HD RFID system delivers reliable, high-precision positioning data at full speed as vehicles pass the track beacons (Tags).
Optimized Braking
This precise data enables optimized braking profiles, allowing vehicles to approach station platforms and stop accurately without unnecessary early deceleration. This not only saves time but also enhances passenger comfort during braking.
Increased Track Capacity
Additionally, accurate positioning supports moving block interlocking, minimizing safety
distances between trains and thereby maximizing track capacity
Improved Energy Efficiency
In response to the growing need for enhanced energy efficiency, our highly accurate positioning system combined with regenerative electrical braking, enables optimized timetable planning. This allows the braking energy from one vehicle to be used to accelerate another, avoiding power loss during the charging cycle using batteries, and significantly improving overall energy efficiency
