The public need for rail transportation safety can be effectively served by precise train control systems. As rail signalling has evolved from the era of semaphore flags to driver-less train control, further development of such systems is permanently intertwined with advances in wireless communication technologies. The proposed research is focused on advanced modelling techniques and novel antennas, which can lead to communications based train control (CBTC) systems that combine increased precision with reduced installation and maintenance cost. The project is based on a partnership between the Electromagnetics Group at the University of Toronto with Thales Canada Transportation Solutions (TCTS), an internationally recognized leader in CBTC technologies.

精确的列车控制系统可以有效地满足公众对轨道交通安全的需求。随着铁路信号系统从信号量标志的时代发展到无人驾驶列车控制，这种系统的进一步发展与无线通信技术的进步永久地交织在一起。拟议的研究集中在先进的建模技术和新型天线，这可以导致基于通信的列车控制（CBTC）系统，结合联合收割机提高精度，降低安装和维护成本。该项目基于多伦多大学电磁学小组与国际公认的CBTC技术领导者泰雷兹加拿大运输解决方案（TCTS）之间的合作。
