Italian term

NVC

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Railway signalling
"L’operatore di NVC effettua la procedura di soccorso sul cdb di ricoprimento della stazione (sul segnale di avviso)"

I cannot find anything to even suggest what NVC might stand for in this context, let alone an English meaning. Any help is much appreciated.

Fail-safe signalling unit

Nucleo Vitale Centrale is part of an automatic track management which blocks and unblocks sections of the track according to the train passages detected.
Vital = fail safe is used even in English railspeak
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I think we have the right Italian meaning for NVC, but I don't see how you arrive at your translation. //"Nucleo vitale" means the core or essence of your being, not "failsafe".

nucleo = unit; vitale = fail safe; I know, as an ex railway consultant, that this is an automated signalling system. The Egnlish terms are all propriatary system terms, or too long, such as failsafe track side command and control signalling sytem

L’ultimo stadio dell’evoluzione tecnologica è quello, attuale,
degli Apparati Centrali Statici (ACS) o Apparati Centrali
Computerizzati (ACC) (Nel caso delle linee ad alta velocità
l’ACC è chiamato, come abbiamo visto, Nucleo Vitale
Periferico (NVC))
. Sostanzialmente sono degli apparati
simili agli ACEI nella logica (in particolare per la formazione
degli itinerari ): in cui i circuiti elettrici degli ACEI, basati
su relé, sono stati sostituiti con circuiti elettronici

neutral philgoddard : This must be a mistake, because C doesn't stand for "periferico", but it does get us to the right answer.
