Abstract: The shunting advance anti-overrunning system based on RFID technology was designed to implement the aim of shunting advance anti-overrunning. The system was based on the traditional digital shunting advance equipment, used RFID technology and 450 MHz radio transmission technology. By adding a train head device and embedded RFID tags in the railway track, in the course of train propulsion, when the front signal was red, the system can generate automatically an alarming signal or directly stop the train, implement the function of shunting advance anti-overrunning. The system has been used in Huangyangcheng Railway Station, the application effect was obvious.
