Author(s):

Date presented: December 28th, 2015

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.

1972 – Nov – Wardrop – Simulation of Railway Operations

Author(s):

Date presented: December 28th, 2015

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.

Author(s):

Date presented: December 28th, 2015

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.

P Gobetz-JC-M,H,A. BE (Electronics), BA, MIRSE The final implementation of the Adelaide Yard Resignalling will be undertaken as part of Contract 100.  The scope of this contract covers the work in the Adelaide Yard area and extends 2.2 km on the Gawler line and along the quadruple lines to Goodwood, about 6 km from Adelaide Station.Since the original study the developemnt of computerised interlockings had reached the stage where this option was included in the tender.

1985 – Nov – Wallace – Train Radio Victorian Style – Part 1

Author(s):

Date presented: December 28th, 2015

R. M. WALLACE Co-Ordlnator E Ackninlstrator Non-Urban Radio V/Line. There Is ample evidence to suggest that the danlnant factor affectlng V/Linets current  marketperformance is Its perceived Inability to provide consistently reliable service. This has led to the loss of existing freight and passenger traffic as well as lost opportunities to gain sigilficant new business. The timekeeping perfonnance of many malnltne frelght and passenger servlces in relation to the standards laid down normal schedules is clearly far from satisfactory. Experience on other rail systems both locally and overseas, has shown that the selectlve application of radio to train working has the potential to slgnificantly improve this situation on those trains or mutes where operating problems are greatest.
