Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p "Automatic block signaling, or ABS, is a railroad communications system that consists of a series of signals that divide a railway line into a series of sections, or "blocks". The system controls the movement of trains between the blocks using automatic signals. ABS operation is designed to allow trains operating in the same direction to follow each other in a safe manner without risk of rear end collision. The introduction of ABS reduced railways' costs and increased their capacity, compared to older manual block systems that required human operators. The automatic operation comes from the system's ability to detect if blocks are occupied or otherwise obstructed, and conveying that information to approaching trains. The term automatic in ABS refers to the operation of the system without any outside intervention and contrasts with more modern traffic control systems that require external control to establish a flow of traffic."@en }
