Cumulative List of Articles by Title in the Signalling Record Cumulative list of articles by title in The Signalling Record The Signalling Record commenced publication as an A5 booklet in January 1987 and was issued to members six times each year until the end of 2018. From 2019 the format changed to four A4 size issues annually. This index lists the articles that have appeared but omits Letters to the Editor, Book Reviews, and Latest Signalling Alterations appear in most issues. The location column entries are the issue number followed by the number of the first page of the item. For example, the entry 45-66 refers to Signalling Record Number 45, page 66.

  • Translating Train Management to Norway
    Translating Train Management to Norway Lasse Gullvåg Sætre Master thesis at the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture Supervised by: Tone Druglitrø and Helge Ryggvik University of Oslo Norway, May 2017 I, Lasse Gullvåg Sætre, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract This thesis explores the transition of Norwegian rail signaling from me- chanically to digitally based systems, delving into the translations of the European standard ERTMS to Norwegian railways. Through digital, tech- nical and bureaucratic informants, this study investigates the preparations and makings of what promises to be one of the biggest revolutions in the technology to date. The ERTMS is a railway signaling technology, an EU political technology, and a case of digitalized European information infrastructures, known by many names, such as smart cities or intelligent services. Studied through the Norwegian railway system’s digital integra- tion towards Europe during the last 20 years, this thesis inquires into the material semiotic production of rail governance in the Norwegian context, as well as what it means to be an EEA member. From expert informers from the Norwegian infrastructure manager Jernbaneverket and its partial successor Bane NOR, through documents and field studies/interventions, the ways in which key players of the Norwegian and European railway sectors change are explored, mapping out the issue of signaling, and how players prepare for a transition that was always part of larger ideas of mo- bility, machines and governance, extending far out from rail space.

  • Systems Engineering Framework for Railway Control & Safety Systems
    Systems Engineering Framework for Railway Control & Safety Systems Karl Michael King A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Master of Science by Research January 2018 Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering University of Birmingham University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND ABSTRACT In this report I detail how I have investigated the feasibility of producing a systems engineering framework that can be applied to all forms of Railway Control & Safety (RCS) systems in order to simplify their development, delivery and implementation. Based on this research, I propose two simple models that can be used to model conventional signalling, ERTMS, CBTC and PTC systems; a functional model and a physical model. I have looked into how these models can be utilised to model specific systems and how this can then be used to identify the high-level functionality and interfaces of individual sub-systems across different physical locations and organisations. I go on to propose a simple method to keep track of individual sub- system locations and their high-level functionality. I also propose how the functional model can be represented as a negative-feedback control system.

As a result of the long railway histo- ry, there are a lot of specific national solutions based on different technologies. The key to learn how signalling systems work is to understand the fundamental control principles these systems are based on. By definition, the signaling principles are the underlying principles of a signalling-based safeworking system that are based on the national standards but are inde- pendent of the requirements of a specific railway operating company and of the technology used. This E-book explains the fundamental principles all railway signalling systems have in com- mon. It is done in a generic way that does not focus on specific national solutions. The inten- tion is to provide core knowledge of long-term value that will not be outdated just by the next generation of technology. The content of this E-book is based on the long-standing experi- ence of teaching railway operations and signalling at universities and higher vocational train- ing institutions in different parts of the world.

The “European Train Control System” ETCS supervises train movement in regards to speed and distance travelled, based on information provided by an underlying signalling system . ETCS consists of onboard and trackside subsystems performing standardised functions and are communicating via Eurobalise, Euroloop and GSM-R using standardised protocols . ETCS provides full cab signalling and can be used either as an overlay onto classical signalling systems with lineside signals or without them . The term ERTMS is used when referring to ETCS and GSM-R as one system . ETCS has been developed to replace all existing mainline train control systems in Europe © Siemens AG 2012 page 4 Wildenrath, 17 February 2012 Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Mobility and Logistics What ETCS is . ETCS is fairly complex, as it has to deliver at least the functionality and performance of all systems it shall replace . Some requirements have been pushed even higher, e.g.
