railway signaling
Railway signaling is a system used to control train traffic on railways, ensuring safety and efficiency. It involves various signals, such as lights and signs, that communicate to train operators when to stop, proceed, or slow down. These signals help prevent collisions and manage the flow of trains on the tracks.
The signaling system can be manual or automated, with modern systems often using electronic signals and track circuits to monitor train positions. By providing real-time information, railway signaling plays a crucial role in maintaining safe distances between trains and optimizing the use of railway infrastructure.
