AUTOMATIC BLOCK SIGNALLING
USING MSDAC
MULTIPLE ASPECT SIGNALS
Distant Signal 400 Metres
Inner Distant Signal 200 Metres (where
provided)
All Stop Signals/Automatic stop signals -200 mts
Subsidiary signals - Visibility is not a criteria
If it is not possible to ensure 200 Metres (7 to 8
seconds) continuous visibility of any stop signal
while approaching it,a suitable speed restriction
shall be imposed
Maintenance of Automatic Signalling Section
The following shall be tested by the SSE/JE
(Signal) at least once in a year-
(a) Track Circuit control on signal and aspect
control by signals in advance
(b) Automatic Cutting-in of the next restrictive
aspect when the LED aspect of the main signal
fails
(c) Interlocking equipments and circuits for
level crossings and points
(d) The circuits that establish the direction of
traffic in Single Line and prevent clearing of
conflicting signals on sections provided with
Automatic block Signalling on Single Line
(e) Axle Counter resetting circuits, if provided.
