ATC [automatic train control] ... is the package which includes ATP [automatic train protection], ATO [automatic train operation] and ATS [automatic train supervision]. ... There are lots of variations of ATC around the world but all contain the basic principle that ATP provides safety and is the basis upon which the train is allowed to run.

La novedad de los sistemas basados en Moving Block [cantonamiento móvil] consiste en controlar la posición de todos los trenes de forma continua, de manera que la "ventana" de seguridad en la que un tren puede moverse, se desplaza de forma continua en función entre otras cosas, de la posición de los demás trenes de la línea. Las prestaciones del Moving Block combinadas con las funcionalidades del Sistema ATS(Supervisión Automática de Trenes), garantiza una respuesta rápida y eficaz a fluctuaciones en la demanda de viajeros y una reducción considerable en el intervalo de paso de los trenes. 2, record 2, Spanish, - supervisi%C3%B3n%20autom%C3%A1tica%20de%20trenes
