  • a processor 202 processes information included in RF signals sent and received by a transceiver 203.
  • the processor 202 may also be a digital signal processor and in practice may operate together with the controller 201 in a single device.
  • the processor 202 extracts information from a received RF signal detected by a transceiver 203 and passes the information to an appropriate output transducer.
  • the processor 202 receives input information for transmission from an appropriate input transducer and delivers the information to the transceiver 203 for transmission in the form of an RF signal by the transceiver 203.
  • the MS 106 includes (as an optional component) an output transducer which is an audio output 204, e.g. a speaker, which converts signals received which represent speech information to an output audible form for delivery to a user.

  • the controller 201 instructs the processor 202 to prepare a data message which includes the current location information.
  • the format of this message may include a code to be understood by a receiving terminal indicating what is included in the message.
  • This message is sent as an RF signal by the transceiver 203 to the infrastructure 101 via the BTS 102 and is delivered by the infrastructure 101 to the control station 103 via the link 104.
  • the RF signal may for example include a network destination address by which the signal is routed to the control station 103.
  • the MSs 107, 108 collect and send signals including current location information in a similar manner.
  • the message including the location information sent by the transceiver 203 (of the MS 106, 107 or 108) to the control station 103 also includes a time indication ('timestamp') of the precise time of the message generation and/or transmission, e.g. for recordal, calculation and investigation purposes at the control station 103 where it is received.

  • the transceiver 301 may receive signals from many communication units mounted on other trains as well as from other mobile stations carried by other relevant moving objects such as maintenance staff.
  • the transceiver 301 receives the incoming signals from each of the specified sources regularly, e.g. at a rate that is proportional to the speed at which each source is moving. For a control station 103 that is monitoring many MSs this is likely to result in a plurality of signals per second being received at the transceiver 301.

  • the information includes an identifier of the terminal (e.g. the MS 106, the MS 107 or the MS 108) which has sent the signal containing the information as well as a time indication ('timestamp') of the precise time of the message generation and/or transmission.
  • the received signal may also include an estimation of the speed of travel of the sending terminal.
  • the received information is used to update information held in the database of the server 302 on a regular or substantially continuous basis.

  • the display in graphical form may be regularly or substantially updated automatically by use of signals from the server 302 relating to the calculations it makes.
  • the trajectory of an object in the context of the calculations made by the server 302 is in practice a set of object velocity measurements, i.e. discrete measurements of the speed of an object and the direction in which it is heading at selected points in time.
  • This set contains some historical data which are measurements from a period which has just taken place, say the previous 60 seconds, to help in estimating the object's current heading direction.
  • Other data such as historical data retrieved from a memory of the server 302 relating to previous movement patterns of moving objects as well as the identity of the MSs 106, 107 or 108 or their users may be used in the calculations.

  • the server 302 may automatically issue appropriate alert signals to MSs whose users are at risk wherein the alert signals are graded according to the probability of collision. So, for example, a more urgent and prominent alert signal may be sent if a collision is very likely in the next 20 seconds, but a less urgent and prominent alert signal may be sent where a collision is not likely in the next 20 seconds but might happen in the next few minutes.
  • the infrastructure 101 may beneficially be programmed to recognize one of these alert signals sent by the control station 103, particularly one required to be delivered urgently and prominently, and to give the signal the required priority of delivery.
  • the receiving MSs e.g. the MSs 106, 107 and 108, may operate by a suitable program run in the controller 201 of each MS to recognize different forms of alert signal according to the likelihood of collision and generate different forms of warning or alarm signal accordingly.
