   Moving block  evaluated  
Traditional signalling systems are based on fixed blocks. In a moving block system trains are continuously controlled and kept at braking distance from each other. This is realized by a Radio link to the control centre. Moving block systems increase line capacity and improve traffic fluidity and thus energy efficiency. Moving block is foreseen by ETCS level 3.
