Abstract

A system for supervising and controlling the movement of a railway vehicle is provided, wherein a plurality of wayside controller units (WCU) are each distributed to a plurality of wayside controller locations (WCL) by a multi-access carrier (416), such as a fiber LAN or IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, for instance, such that supervisory and control operations may be communicated between each of the wayside controller units (WCU) with a muti-access protocol on the multi-access carrier (416). A computer-based control system (400) may be connected through the multi-access carrier (416) so that communication is achieved solely with multi¬ access protocols. Centralized traffic control functions may be implemented as distributed traffic control functions that are distributed to the wayside controller units (WCU).
