  • Signalling (Rail Transport)
  • Rail Traffic Control

The absolute permissive block system is an automatic block system in which the block extends from siding to siding for opposing train movements. The fixed signals governing the entrance into the block display an aspect indicating stop when the block is occupied by an opposing train. This absolutely prevents opposing movements between adjacent sidings ... In this system, undue delays to trains are eliminated by allowing following movements, while safety is still maintained by preventing opposing movements.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Signalisation (Transport par rail)
  • Circulation des trains
  • Sécurité (Transport par rail)
CONT

Le cantonnement permissif absolu est un cantonnement automatique dans lequel le canton va d'une voie d'évitement à la suivante pour les trains de sens contraire; le signal fixe commandant l'entrée dans le canton commande l'arrêt quand le canton est déjà occupé par un train de sens contraire. Ceci permet d'éviter de façon absolue tout mouvement de sens contraire entre deux voies d'évitement successives. [...] Avec ce système, les retards anormaux sont supprimés car la circulation des trains de même sens est rendue possible et la sécurité assurée en rendant impossible la présence de deux trains de sens contraire sur un même tronçon de voie.

The Administrative Policy Branch of Treasury Board (APB) was created in the 1960s the emphasize prudence and probity in government. The organization has now adopted a philosophy of partnership with its clients. APB ahs assumed what some managers have termed more of a "leadership" rather than a "directing" role. The work of the Branch has changed to meet its new mission. There is a new emphasis on innovation, and on taking the initiative to create new opportunities. There is also receptivity to the idea of responsible risk-taking. APB's new focus is on partnership with its clients rather than simply on managing crises and issuing directives.

La Direction de la politique administrative (DPA) du Conseil du Trésor, mise sur pied dans les années soixante, a pour mission de favoriser la prudence et la probité dans le déroulement des affaires du gouvernement. La Direction a maintenant adopté le principe du partenariat avec la clientèle. Ce faisant, elle a assumé un rôle que certains gestionnaires apparentent davantage au «leadership» qu'à la «direction». On a modifié le travail qu'effectue la Direction pour répondre à la nouvelle mission qu'elle s'est donnée. Le nouvel ordre consacre l'innovation et la prise d'initiatives afin de susciter de nouvelles perspectives. On y est également réceptif à la prise de risques responsable. La Direction privilégie plutôt le partenariat avec la clientèle à la gestion des crises et à la promulgation de directives.
