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 transitions to a different line with a different signalling system from a current line, the trackside signalling system transmits both an order to the on-board signalling system in order to change the train control application program executed at a boundary with the different line with the different signaling system, and a train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different 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 different line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the different 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.

2. 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 transitions to a different line with a different signalling system from a current line, the trackside signalling system transmits both a train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different line and an order to start the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different line ahead of a boundary with the line with the different signalling system, to enable control based on the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different line upon passage through the boundary while disabling control based on the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of an exiting said current line, and subsequently to terminate the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the exiting said current line to the on-board signalling system, and makes the on-board signalling system execute the train control application program compliant with the different line, thereby allowing the train to be controlled on the different line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the different line.
- 5. 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 transitions to a different line with a different signalling system from a current line, both an order to change the train control application program executed at a boundary with the different line with the different signalling system sent from the trackside signalling system is received, and a train control application program compliant with a signalling system of the different line is received from the trackside signalling system, installed, and executed, allowing the train to be controlled on the different line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the different 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 transitions to a different line with a different signalling system from a current line, a train control application program compliant with a signalling system of the different line is received from the trackside signalling system, installed, and executed, allowing the train to be controlled on the different line according to a control order created by the trackside signalling system of the different line,
wherein the on-board signalling system starts the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different line ahead of the boundary with the line with the different signalling system, enables control based on the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the different line upon passage through the boundary while disabling control based on the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of an exiting said current line, and subsequently terminates the train control application program compliant with the signalling system of the exiting said current line.
