Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) is a sophisticated signaling system used to
manage train movements on high-density rail lines. It allows dispatchers to
remotely control switches and signals from a central location, ensuring safe
separation and efficient flow.

**System Architecture:** CTC integrates track circuits, interlocking logic, and
remote control interfaces. Track circuits detect the presence of a train in a
block, while interlocking logic prevents conflicting movements. Dispatchers
interact with the system via a graphical interface that displays the real-time
position of all trains within their territory.

**Movement Authority:** In CTC territory, a signal indication serves as the
primary authority for a train to enter a block. A "clear" signal allows the
train to proceed at maximum authorized speed, while "approach" or "restricting"
signals require reduced speeds to ensure safe stopping distances.

**Operational Benefits:** CTC significantly increases track capacity compared to
manual systems by reducing the need for written track warrants. It also enhances
safety by automating the enforcement of speed limits and preventing head-on or
rear-end collisions through fail-safe interlocking logic.
