Purpose Interlocking is a safety mechanism that ensures only one train operates over a particular section of the track at any time. How it works Interlocking uses a combination of signals, point mechanisms, and track circuits to prevent collisions and protect the movement of trains. Types of Interlocking Systems Route Relay Interlocking (RRI) and Panel Interlocking are the two main types of interlocking systems used in Jaipur Metro..

Architecture and Working of Interlocking. Point Mechanism Points are the switching mechanisms that allow one train to move from one section to another..
point machine or switch machine. Point machines are responsible for controlling the movement of the railway switches or points, which allow trains to change tracks or move from one line to another. The point machine consists of an electrically or hydraulically operated mechanism that moves the points, ensuring they align correctly to guide the train onto the desired track. It is typically controlled remotely from the operations control center or by the train operator. Point machines play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient operations in metro systems by enabling the routing of trains along different tracks, allowing for flexibility in scheduling, maintenance, and emergencies..
Type of point mechine. Electric Point Machine : Electric point machines are widely used in modern railway systems. They are typically powered by electric motors or solenoids, which drive the movement of the points. Electric point machines are controlled remotely through the signaling system..
Type of point mechine. Hydraulic Point Machine : Hydraulic point machines utilize hydraulic power to operate the points. They often involve the use of hydraulic cylinders or actuators to move the points into the desired position. Hydraulic point machines are less common compared to electric ones..
Type of point mechine. Mechanical Point Machine : Mechanical point machines are older types of point machines that rely on mechanical linkages and levers to move the points manually. They are operated by a lever or a mechanical handle, usually by a railway worker. However, mechanical point machines are less prevalent today due to automation and advances in technology..
Architecture and Working of Interlocking. Signals Red, Green, and violet lights are used to regulate the movement of trains. It indicates whether a train should stop or proceed.
enterlocking signals in a metro system serve the following purposes:.
purposes. rain Movement Control : Interlocking signals govern the movement of trains by indicating whether a train is permitted to proceed, stop, or approach with caution. They provide visual indications to train operators about the status of the track ahead..
