Sepn. monitoring system for keeping distance between rail vehicles - uses detecting probes for loop transmitter which cut-off to trigger braking of following vehicle

The appts. is used for maintaining proper distances between rail-bound, suspension vehicles with long stator,linear motor drive. It uses probes for detecting the presence of a vehicle. In the stator section behind the vehicle the drive current is switched off via the probes, loop transmitters for line conductors loops behind the vehicle are cut-off. A forced braking of a following vehicle is triggered by the absence of a "free signal" from the loop transmitter, and/or of the absence of drive current. Preferably fair-safe double probes are fitted to the boundaries of the stator sections. The probes may be in form of pressure contacts in the vehicle supports. The process can be also used for normal trains and rail-bound vehicles.
