RAILWAY SIGNALLING SYSTEM AND ON-BOARD SIGNALLING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A railway signalling system which transmits a control order to an on-board signalling system by a trackside signalling system, the on-board signalling system being mounted on a train running on a line and the control order being compliant with a signalling system of the line, wherein when the train enters a line with a different signalling system from a current line, the trackside signalling system transmits a train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the entering line to the on-board signalling system and makes the on-board signalling system execute the train control application program, thereby allowing the train to be controlled on the entering line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the entering line.

Abstract
In a railway signalling system which transmits a control order to an on-board signalling system by a trackside signalling system, the on-board signalling system being mounted on a train running on a line and the control order being compliant with a signalling system of the line, the present invention allows the train to run through into lines with different signalling systems using a single on-board signalling system. When the train enters a line with a different signalling system from a current line, the on-board signalling system installs a train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the entering line. Then, the on-board signalling system executes the train control application program, allowing the train to be controlled on the entering line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the entering line.

- 1. A railway signalling system which transmits a control order to an on-board signalling system by a trackside signalling system, the on-board signalling system being mounted on a train running on a line and the control order being compliant with a signalling system of the line, wherein when the train enters a line with a different signalling system from a current line, the trackside signalling system transmits a train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the entering line to the on-board signalling system and makes the on-board signalling system execute the train control application program, thereby allowing the train to be controlled on the entering line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the entering line.
- 6. An on-board signalling system mounted on a train and adapted to receive a control order compliant with a signalling system of a line on which the train runs, from a trackside signalling system, wherein when the train runs through into a line with a different signalling system from a current line, a train control application program compliant with a signalling system of the entering line is installed and executed, allowing the train to be controlled on the entering line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the entering line.
