  • Abstract
    The compatibility of AC propulsion systems with coded train detection and onboard speed code reception systems is always a concern. A review of an automatic train control system commissioned for the Greater Cairo Metro System is presented. The compatibility of track-to-train transmission with the inverter-controlled AC drive and the 750 V DC third-rail power supply is also examined.
