TY - JOUR PY - 1974// TI - Analytical approach to railway signal block design JO - Transportation engineering journal of the American Society of Civil Engineers A1 - Weiss, DM A1 - Fialkoff, DR SP - 71 EP - 83 VL - 100 IS - TE1 N2 - Originally intended for rapid transit systems, design is also applicable to any rail system where high-speed, short-headway characteristics are required to maintain an efficient flow of passengers or goods. Analytical techniques are used to select system speed commands using a cost-benefit analysis; to determine the speed-location operation profile; to locate signal block boundaries; and to determine signal logic.
