block system / block signalling
V. "bloc de linie" (block signal) în catalogul feroviar, la referinţe.

Trains cannot collide with each other if they are not permitted to occupy the same section of track at the same time, so railway lines are divided into sections known as blocks. In normal circumstances, only one train is permitted in each block at a time. This principle forms the basis of most railway safety systems.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_signalling#Block_signal...

Any block system is defined by its associated physical equipment and by the application of a relevant set of rules.
