Abstract
This chapter analyzes the train traffic control systems for 1435- and 1520-mm railway gauges, as well as their compatibility issues. The British Rail Traffic control system is analyzed. European train control systems (ETCS) and ETCS levels are described. Differences between European train control systems in 1435- and 1520-mm railway gauges related technical problems and proposed solutions are presented with regard to ETCS implementation in the Baltic states. The existing train control systems do not meet requirements of traffic safety in light of increased train speeds.
