AJ Everingham AMIRSE This paper is entitled "Signalling Installations in New South Wales." It deals chiefly with the general practice outside the electrified area, and any features peculiar to that section have been omitted, as it is considered that the matter is far too comprehensive to be dealt with in a single paper such as this. However, the matters referred to herein also apply, in the main, to the electrified area.
AW Wardrop Research Officer, NSWGR The following discussions relate to two aspects of a computer simulation model developed for NSWGR by members of its Research and Development Section. The model called DTRAIN/STRAIN carries out train performance calculations and train interaction calculations for any type of motive power and for a large number of consecutive trains over a common section of track. The two functions are separately discussed here and the verification procedures outlined for each. No attempt will be given as to the types of uses to which such a model can be put in the body of the discussions so it might be best to suggest some here: vetting changes in timetalbes for existing trains and routes examinng performance of new rolling stock examineg the effect on new and existing rolling stock of new routes vetting the performance of existing signalling systems use as a planning tool for new signlling systems.
B.P. Tumalty FIRSE The title of the Paper to be presented, clearly means that the contents will be subjective, the intention is to review the major stages of contracting with particular reference to items which currently tend to present barriers to good contractual relationships. The objective being to utilise the opportunity afforded by the 1 . R - S . E . for a better understanding of the problems encountered and hopefully improved performances which will enhance the status of the signalling and communication engineer in the Australian Railway Industry.
In this paper, we would like to introduce an innovative proposal based on the research conducted by the Hitachi Rail Innovation team to further improve the existing available tablet application, particularly
This Paper investigates the issues regarding use of passive level crossings for livestock movements in the agricultural industry. This unavoidable practice presents a different risk profile to the typical user, with livestock movement being
I started in signalling more than 30 years ago at British Rail, where I learnt how to design interlockings, initially in relay circuits, and then by programming Solid State Interlockings. This work sparked my interest in safety critical syste
The term signalling principles is often referenced with regards to the design of a signalling system. It is also used as part of the title of a person ‘Principles Verifier’ or ‘Principles Tester’. Some rail managers also reference signalling p
This paper offers a detailed FRMCS integrated migration strategy as a preparatory guide for current GSM-R users, particularly Rail Transport Operators (RTOs), as well as for projects in the planning and developmen
The Public Transport Authority of Western Australia (PTA) is currently building a new mobile radio and backhaul transmission communications network across the Perth metropolitan electrified railway network.
Today’s railway fatalities are arguably more likely to occur at level crossings than in the train collisions we tend to focus most attention on controlling. Designing for level crossing safety can be messy and grey, especially when the dependen
The Netherlands is rolling out the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) across the national network. The government created a Programme Directorate to manage the rollout. Cyber security for both ERTMS as well as the transportation syst
To support the acceptance of safety risk for configuration changes to railways, systems engineering recognises both qualitative and quantitative hazard and risk assessment methods. Quantitative analysis can be perceived as objective and quali
Cybersecurity is a hot topic worldwide with regular attacks being performed against multiple domains.
