The Nordic Railway Administrations have decided to increase the safety of the railway lines by introducing automatic train control systems on lines, carrying a large amount of traffic. The systems which are based on LM Ericcson's system JZG 700, will provide assistance for the driver and if necessary, brake the train. In this article the reasons, possible methods and safety requirements for automatic train control are discussed, and the functions and facilities of system JZG 700 are described. The emphasis is placed on the method for track-to-train transmission and the ways and means of using computers in safety systems. Finally a summary is given of the current installation programs.
