Analysis of the Operation of the ALS Code Transmission and Decoder Device and Development of Software
Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis, mathematical modeling, and software development of the ALS code transmission and decoder device. First, the role of the ALS code and the decoder device in railway automation and their function in ensuring safe train movement are described in detail. The operation of the device is modeled on the basis of the theory of finite automata, which clearly demonstrates the device's various states, transition rules, and their algorithmic representation. Based on these theoretical foundations, a logical model of the device was initially developed, followed by the creation of its operating algorithm. Using this algorithm, the software was designed, and its functional capabilities were tested in the Proteus simulation environment. During the simulation process, all main operating modes of the device, including its behavior in code transmission and reception, were thoroughly examined. The obtained results confirm that the developed model and software are suitable for practical application. In addition, the article discusses possible ways of further improving the device and perspectives for integrating additional functions in the future.
