With the increasing demand for railway transport, faster trains and higher intensity service are being called for. On the other hand, there is a growing need for safety. To meet all these requirements, automatic train protection (ATP) equipment must be introduced. Recent advances in electronics technology have brought great improvement to ATP equipment. As latest trends in ATP equipment, this report discusses the train control method and operation method. It is pointed out that digitalized pattern control type ATP equipment tends to increase. As specific examples, the outline and special features of the ATP equipment for Rede Ferroviaria Federal S.A. of Brazil and that for Companhia Vale do Rio Doce are described.
