Railway traffic control systems are one such application. There is a requirement for the use of powerful tools and methods of modelling the function and operation of this system. The purpose of this publication is to present the use of a Petri net in modelling automatic reserve switching device controllers of railway traffic control system power. The publication also shows the practical implementation of such a controller. It was implemented using the hardware platform of the NI CompactRIO family of controllers and an application made in the National LabView graphical programming environment.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.18.122.8897}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/the-integration-of-an-automatic-reserve-switching-controller-into-a-railway-traffic-control-system-power-supply-through-the-use-of-a-petri-net-and-a-graphical-programming-language} }
