Can someone tell what is 'Solid state interlocking' ??
1 Posts
Interlocking is usually mechanical or relay based. In such interlocking systems, the various routes and switches outside a station are physically connected together so that setting one route through the station automatically disables all other routes.
For example, in a station with 2 loop lines and a main line, if a train is going to pass through the main line without stopping, the main line signal will be set to green and the switches will be set so that the train stays on the main line. In a mechanical interlocking, the points and signals will be connected in such a way that turning the signal green automatically prevents the points from being changed until the signal is...

So what are the advantages of using Solid state interlocking ? And does it increase the capacity and MPS of the section where it is in use ??
It doesn't directly increase the MPS or Capacity. It is mostly used for more flexibility and in general, it is a more advanced form of interlocking.
The advantages are as follows:
1) Flexibility and construction time- As I mentioned earlier, Solid state interlocking provides a lot of flexibility. In a normal interlocking, every modification requires physical work to be done. Wires have to be relaid and sometimes the tracks themselves have to plucked up and relaid to incorporate any new loop lines or additional signals. For a Solid state interlocking, as everything is...

Tender is out for solid state interlocking between SPJ-MFP..so finally capacity of the line will be increased.. #MFP
