High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Communication-based train control is an automated control system for railways that ensures the safe operation of rail vehicles using data communication between various control entities that make up the system. CBTC is a modern successor of the traditional railway signaling systems which provide a limited control using track circuits, interlockings, and signals. CBTC technology is part of the same convergence engineering field as the automotive traffic automation systems. Even though the principles of control between the 2 transportation domains are quite different they both are part of the telematics: a CBTC system is based on basic principles from both the automation and telecommunication. CBTC is the culmination point of a long parallel history of two important technologies that stimulated the development of each other and marked profoundly the development of our society in the last century: railways, telecommunications. There are multiple generations of CBTC systems based on multiple variations and configurations depending on the providers and operators.
