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. I then examined the development and implementation of RCS systems and propose that these systems go through two unique V-cycles, a generic product development V-cycle (by suppliers) and a specific application V-cycle (by operators). I propose that this results in the whole system lifecycle being covered by a closed-loop W-cycle that shows the complete development and procurement process for most metro railway RCS systems. I go on to propose that a more complex process is often required on mainline railways where there are often multiple sub-systems that are procured from separate suppliers and must be integrated into a single system. I conclude with a study of different project delivery structures for RCS upgrade programmes and recommend a balanced system-centric structure. My conclusions are that RCS systems are critical to both the safety and performance of the railway and are complex systems of systems. They have clearly defined functional sub-systems that contribute to these two key criteria. Based on my findings, I suggest that a systematic approach to the development, as well as the deployment, of RCS is therefore vital in order to ensure successful development, delivery and integration of modern RCS systems, such as ERTMS, TMS & DAS. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank: My supervisors, Professor Clive Roberts and Professor Felix Schmid of University of Birmingham, for their guidance and support during the production of this thesis; Jeremy Gill for showing me the value and importance of systems engineering as well as stimulating my love of the subject; Mariana Somasundaram for encouraging me to undertake the programme of research that this thesis documents; Patrick Williamson for teaching me the importance of the interactions between People, Process and System, as well as acting as a sounding-board for many of my ideas for this research. It is my opinion that this research could not have been carried out solely by desktop literature review. I am, therefore, extremely grateful to my many contacts within the rail industry who listened to my ideas and were willing to give me their valuable time to provide their views and discuss proposals. Finally I would like to express my thanks to members of my family. I must thank my mother and father, Maureen and Geoffrey, the most supportive of parents, for always encouraging me in my pursuit of this research. Also, my thanks to my wife, Moira, who has encouraged and fully supported me throughout this research and the production of this report, even though this work coincided with the arrival of both of our beloved children, daughter Lucy and son Matthew.

It assists in optimization of metro infrastructure investment and running of efficient train services on the network. 11.2 SIGNALLING AND TRAIN CONTROL 11.2.1 Overview Metro carries large number of passengers at a very close headway requiring a very high level of safety enforcement and reliability. At the same time heavy investment in infrastructure and rolling stock necessitates optimization of its capacity to provide the best services to the public. These requirements of the metro are planned to be achieved by adopting ‘CATC’ (Continuous Automatic Train Control System) based on “CBTC” (Communication based Train Control System) which includes ATP (Automatic Train Protection), ATO (Automatic Train Operation) and ATS (Automatic Train Supervision) sub-systems using radio communication between Track side and Train. This will: • Provide high level of safety with trains running at close headway ensuring continuous safe train separation and for bidirectional working. • Eliminate accidents due to driver passing Signal at Danger by continuous speed monitoring and automatic application of brake in case of disregard of signal / warning by the driver. • Provides safety and enforces speed limit on section having permanent and temporary speed restrictions. • Improve capacity with safer and smoother operations.

  • Influence of Train Control System on Railway Track Capacity
    DAAAM INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC BOOK 2012 pp. 419-426 CHAPTER 36 INFLUENCE OF TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM ON RAILWAY TRACK CAPACITY HARAMINA, H.; BRABEC, D. & GRGIC, D. Abstract: The basic advantage of the train control methods based on the moving block technology compared to the fixed blocks where the headways of the slower trains, regarding their longer blocking times affects negatively the line capacity, lies in the fact that the position and the length of the moving blocks adapts to the position, dynamic characteristics, and actual speed of the successive train. Regarding a higher possibility for influence on the train movement characteristic during the moving block train operation, better traffic fluidity with more regular traffic flow can be achieved. Considering this fact an amount of regular recovery and buffer times needed for railway timetable stability can be decreased and thus more train paths in a particular dedicated time window can be added. In this way the moving block technology can increase the capacity of a railway line, especially in case of high density lines with significant heterogeneity of traffic.

  • Next Generation Train Control (NGTC): More Effective Railways Through the Convergence of Main-Line and Urban Train Control Systems
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 1855 – 1864 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 Next Generation Train Control (NGTC): more effective railways through the convergence of main-line and urban train control systems Peter Gurník a,* aUNIFE – The European Rail Industry, 221 avenue Louise, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium Abstract The main scope of Next Generation Train Control (NGTC) project is to analyse the commonality and differences of required functionality for mainline and urban lines and develop the convergence of both European Train Control System (ETCS) and Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) systems, determining the level of commonality of architecture, hardware platforms, and system design that can be achieved. This will be accomplished by building on the experience of ETCS and its standardised train protection kernel, where the different manufacturers can deliver equipment based on the same standardized specifications and by using the experience the suppliers have gained by having developed very sophisticated and innovative CBTC systems around the world. The paper focuses on the analyses of the already produced NGTC Functional Requirements Specifications and is summarizing other project activities on various train control technology developments suitable for future train control systems. © 2016 The Authors.
