Introduction:
Railway signalling and telecom systems are the backbone of modern rail networks, ensuring safety, efficiency, and seamless operations. In this article, we delve into the significance of these systems, focusing on their role in enhancing railway safety, optimizing traffic flow, and supporting the expansion of metro networks.

The Evolution of Railway Signalling:
Historically, railway signalling has evolved from manual methods to sophisticated automated systems. Early railway signalling relied on manual signalmen who used flags, lamps, and hand signals to control train movements. With technological advancements, mechanical and electrical signalling systems were introduced, allowing for more precise control.

The Role of Signalling Systems in Metro Rail:
Metro rail systems, characterized by high-frequency operations and dense passenger traffic, require advanced signalling solutions. Signalling systems in metros ensure precise train control, enabling trains to operate at short headways safely. Technologies such as Automatic Train Control (ATC) and Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) have revolutionized metro signalling, offering increased capacity and reliability.
