Abstract
The explosive growth of microprocessor use in all varieties of control equipment has led to exceptional versatility for typical system supervision. More functions in less space, combined with distributed decision control logic, has resulted in increased opportunities and responsibilities for system operators. This is valid for both equipment procurement (software, firmware and hardware) and day-to-day utilization. The author discusses the applicability of these microprocessor-based control systems to rail transportation systems. An example of distributed remote control (a motor starter) is discussed as are data acquisition and security considerations.<>
