Failures simulator of railway traffic control devices

Abstract

Railway traffic control systems may have different working conditions. It results from their destruction process, which is related to the age of the devices, intensity of their operation or technical service quality. Operating tests are the source of valuable knowledge that allows not only to perfect the construction of railway traffic control devices, but also to control the operating process. In order to do that IT tools are developed, supporting the diagnostic process. What can be helpful in testing these tools can be, proposed by the authors of the article, a failures simulator dedicated to railway traffic control devices.
