TRA tests locally developed speed restriction system

The Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) on Thursday and Friday tested a locally developed temporary speed restriction system intended to improve train safety, the railway administration said yesterday.
The system, developed by the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, was tested for the first time on a 51km section of the TRA’s North Link Line that runs from Yilan County’s Suao Township (蘇澳) to Hualien County, the TRA said in a statement.
The administration was testing whether the system could detect objects on the tracks as a train traveling at various speeds approaches, it said.
The temporary speed restriction system works in tandem
