DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM 
FOR RAIL TRAFFIC CONTROL WITH DISPATCHER CENTRE

The system operates in an open loop, i.e. the information is processed and the traffic is controlled mostly by the traffic control dispatcher. 

The system is built as an open system, i.e. allows not only for extension in terms of area (for example when the line is extended) but also functional extension, i.e. addition of other functions, automatic devices, creation of links to other systems, etc.

The train dispatcher operator system extend complete information about actual traffic situation on a selected line, information about status of communication and other important systems.
