CBTC definition according to the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers

CBTC = Communications Based Train Control

The primary characteristics of a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system include:

- High resolution train location determination, independent of track circuits

- Continuous, high capacity, bi-directional train-to-wayside data communications

- Trainborne and wayside processors performing vital functions

The non-use of track circuits will already disqualify many older ATO systems.
