Stephen Bauman wrote:"Moscow does not use new signals or controls. It is a block system with manual control." Moscow metro has different signaling and controlling systems on different lines. Line 3 & 4: block system with manual control and automatic emergency stop (since it was built in 1930s-1950s). Line 2, 5, 6, 7 & 11: block system with lights and automatic speed control, OPTO (Line 5, 6 & 7 built in 1950s-1970s; Line 2 & 11 changed signaling at the end of 1970s). Line 1, 8, 9 & 10: block system with different block lengths, no lights and automatic speed control, OPTO (Line 8, 9 & 10 built in 1980s-1990s; Line 1 changed signaling in 2002). Only signaling systems with automatic speed control allow 40 and more trains per hour (the theoretical maximum is 45 tph but it's impossible to hold such schedule at real). Line 3 and Line 4 run about 30-35 tph. |
