Replace the heading and the contents of Section 9.3 ETCS Tail Cable with the following content: Section 9.3 Balise tail cable The balise tail cable is a single pair cable connected to the ETCS junction box at one end and terminated to the balise at the other end. It is a surface run cable that shall be provided for mechanical protection. Section 9.3.1 Installation of balise tail cable Balise tail cabling shall be installed so that it is secured in such a way to positively locate and protect cables within the danger zone, making the installation compatible with the operation of track tampers and ballast regulators. Where the balise is mounted on a sleeper, the balise tail cable shall be secured to the sleeper using RailCorp approved track cable protector plates (details for manufacture and installation outlined in the RailCorp ‘Track Cable Protector’ guideline). Refer to standard construction drawings M05-507, M05-510, M05-512, M05-544 and M05-558 for installation details. Surface run balise tail cables between the ETCS junction box and balise shall be sleeved with approved orange flexible electrical hose over the length of the cable to provide mechanical protection and to improve visibility. Refer to standard drawing M05-510 for standard surface mounted cable construction guidelines. When assessing an existing conduit route, balise tail cables shall not be run with air lines. © State of NSW through Transport for NSW 2017 Page 1 of 3 Technical Note - TN 030: 2017 Section 9.3.1.1 Cross-track cable installations The whole-of-life costs have been assessed and it is not cost effective to install a ULX/URX for an ETCS balise tail cable(s) to cross one track. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to install a surface-laid balise tail cable in such a way that it is required to cross an adjacent line before being connected to an ETCS balise. Surface-laid cross-track installation of a balise tail cable as shown in M05-509 is considered as a non-standard installation. The application of surface-laid cross-track installations for balise tail cables shall be restricted to ETCS limited supervision only. At locations where multiple balise track cables are required to be run across an adjacent line, steps shall be taken to minimise the use of cross-track installations by combining the actual cross-track location. Prior to considering using this installation method, an evaluation of the site conditions is necessary to identify any constraints that can exist and to ensure all risks have effective treatments. Justification to use a non-standard installation method shall be documented and shall include evidence of proper consultation. This shall include consultation with the local maintainers to ensure any impacts to local maintenance practices are also taken into consideration. Factors influencing the decision to install a surface-laid cross-track cable installation may include, but not limited to, the following: • no existing ULX within the vicinity • existing ULX is not re-enterable for balise tail cable • any requirements for keeping the adjacent line operational during maintenance activities The minimum requirements of standard drawing M05-509 shall be included into the installation of surface-laid cross-track cables. The installation of a surface-laid cross-track cable shall follow the criteria as shown in M05-510 and shall also include the following: • The balise track cable shall be protected by an approved standard 32 mm orange coloured PVC electrical hose between two parallel and immediately adjacent tracks. • The orange hose shall be continuous and installed along the sleeper face in the four-foot under the cable protector plates continued across the six-foot on top of the ballast to the balise located on the adjacent track. • The cross-track cable installation shall cross one adjacent line only. • The route to the balise across the six-foot shall have no more than a four sleeper stagger. © State of NSW through Transport for NSW 2017 Page 2 of 3 Technical Note - TN 030: 2017 Authorisation: Technical content Checked and Interdisciplinary Authorised for prepared by approved by coordination release checked by Signature Date Name Eric Edwards Peter McGregor Jason R Gordon Jagath Peiris Position Senior Signal Lead Signals and Chief Engineer Director Engineer Control Systems Network Standards Engineer and Services © State of NSW through Transport for NSW 2017 Page 3 of 3 Technical Note - TN 011: 2016 For queries regarding this document [email protected] www.asa.transport.nsw.gov.au Technical Note - TN 011: 2016 Issued date: 20 April 2016 Effective date: 20 April 2016 Subject: Update to SPG 0706 Installation of Trackside Equipment This technical note is issued by the Asset Standards Authority to notify the following changes to SPG 0706 Installation of Trackside Equipment, Version 2.3. Section 9.1.1.4 Temporary speed warning balise groups (TSW’s); second paragraph is replaced with the following content: The balise group for a temporary speed restriction (TSR) shall be positioned at the Warning TSR sign in the normal direction being protected but may be moved up to 30 m beyond the TSR Warning sign if required. Section 9.1.1.4 Temporary speed warning balise groups (TSW’s); fourth paragraph is replaced with the following content: The TSW balise group shall not be located closer than 10 m from any other balise on the same track. Section 9.1.1.4 Temporary speed warning balise groups (TSW’s); add the following final paragraph: Where a guard rail or other object is encountered in the four foot, the TSW balise group should be relocated. As a simplified requirement, the balise shall not be any closer than 10 m from guard rails, point's equipment or any large objects (containing metal) in the four foot. The entire contents of Section 9.1.2 Balise installation is replaced with the following content: There are three types of balise mounting methods permitted: • Vortok (or the approved alternative) on-sleeper spreader beam (eClip or FastClip) © State of NSW through Transport for NSW Page 1 of 5 Technical Note - TN 011: 2016 • direct fixed (typically bolted direct to sleeper or slab) • Vortok (or the approved alternative) between-sleeper universal mount spreader beam (for example, for TSW or where the normative balise permanent mounting methods are impractical due to the infrastructure constraints) Balises shall be secured in a manner that allows repeated removal and re-fixing using tools, by authorised personnel.

A crucial point of the railway operation system is the corrective maintenance process. During this operation, the railway lines have the circulation of trains interrupted in the respective sector, where traffic restoration occurs only after completing the maintenance process. Depending on the cause and length of the track circuit, identifying and solving the problem may take a long time. A tool that assists in track circuit fault detection during an inspection adds agility and efficiency in its restoration and cost reduction. This paper presents a new method, based on frequency domain reflectometry, to diagnose and locate false occupancy failures of track circuits. Initially, simulations are performed considering simplified track circuit approximations to demonstrate the operation of the proposed method, where the fault position is estimated by identifying the null points and through non-linear regression on signal amplitude response.

  • HOW to REDUCE the IMPACT of TRACK CIRCUIT FAILURES Stanislas Pinte, Maurizio Palumbo, Emmanuel Fernandes, Robert Grant ERTMS Solutions/Nxgen Rail Services
    S. Pinte, M. Palumbo, E. Fernandes, R. Grant HOW TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF TRACK CIRCUITS FAILURES ERTMS Solutions/NxGen Rail Services HOW TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF TRACK CIRCUIT FAILURES Stanislas Pinte, Maurizio Palumbo, Emmanuel Fernandes, Robert Grant ERTMS Solutions/NxGen Rail Services Summary Every year, thousands of track circuit failures are reported by railway infrastructure managers in Europe and worldwide, resulting in significant delays which can also lead to substantial economic costs and penalties. For this reason, the ability to detect and diagnose the health of track circuits to prevent or provide a fast response to these failures, can generate a significant benefit for infrastructure managers. In many countries, a process of periodic manual inspection of wayside assets (including track circuits) is in place, but the benefits of this strategy are limited by several factors related to safety, the time required to perform the inspection, and difficulties associated with making manual measurements. With the purpose of minimizing economic loss and operational delay, as well as offering railway infrastructure managers a tool that can provide an automated and effective maintenance strategy, ERTMS Solutions has designed the TrackCircuitLifeCheck (TLC). The TrackCircuitLifeCheck is a track circuit measurement instrument that can be installed on track inspection or commercial trains to automatically diagnose AC, DC, and pulsed track circuits, thus enabling a preventive maintenance strategy, based on the analysis of multi-pass data from each track circuit over time, and the application of standard deviation analysis. KEYWORDS: Track Circuits, Preventive Maintenance, Train Detection, Train Protection, In-Cab Signaling, UM-71, TVM, TrackCircuitLifeCheck. INTRODUCTION This paper presents a high level functional and architectural description of track circuits, with a In order to detect the presence of trains on a special focus on AC track circuits.

  • Chapter 5 Signals
    CALTRAIN DESIGN CRITERIA CHAPTER 5 – SIGNALS CHAPTER 5 SIGNALS A. GENERAL When the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) owned and operated the Caltrain corridor, the signal system had been designed based on the mixed operation of freight and passenger trains. The signal system spacing was based upon single direction running, with braking distances for 80 Ton per Operative Brake (TPOB) freight trains at 60 MPH (miles per hour). The Santa Clara, College Park, Fourth Street, and San Jose operators' positions were consolidated into a single dispatch center, with Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) from Santa Clara (Control Point or CP Coast) to CP Tamien. San Francisco Control Points, namely Fourth Street, Potrero, Bayshore, and Brisbane were operated as Manual Interlockings under the control of the San Jose Dispatcher with bi-directional automatic block signaling between Fourth Street and Potrero, and single direction running between control points from Potrero southward. After State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) completed the freeway I-280 retrofit, bi- directional CTC was in effect between Fourth Street and Bayshore. Between 1992 and 1997, signal design was performed by various designers, as a by product of third party contracts on the railroad. There was little consistency between projects, and little overview as to how the projects tied together, and how they would fare with future projects. In 1997, the Caltrain's two signal engineering designers, and the contract operator developed the Caltrain Signal Engineering Design Standards. The new standards have become one of migration. 1.0 SIGNAL SYSTEM MIGRATION The migration of the Caltrain Signal System was defined as follows: a.

  • Highway-Rail Crossing Warning Systems and Traffic Signals Manual
    Interconnection of Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning Systems and Highway Traffic Signals 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to this seminar on Interconnection of Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning Systems and Highway Traffic Signals. Over the past eight years, I have had the opportunity to present this seminar to persons from the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, numerous state Departments of Transportation, city, county and state traffic engineering and signal departments as well as many railroads. Obviously, this is a highly specialized topic, one that receives very little attention in terms of available training. However, from the perspective of safety, it requires far more attention than it normally receives. Only when a catastrophic event occurs such as the Fox River Grove crash in October of 1995 does the need for training of this type become apparent. Following the Fox River Grove crash, I was approached by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in 1996, inquiring if I would have an interest in assisting them with understanding interconnection and preemption. This seminar is the ongoing continuation of that effort. My background includes over 31 years of active involvement in both highway traffic signal and railroad signal application, design and maintenance. This workbook is a compilation of information, drawings, standards, recommended practices and my ideas to assist you in following with the presentation and to provide a future reference as you need it. It has been developed as I have presented seminars and I strive to continually update it to reflect the most current information available. Some sections have been reproduced from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices which exists in the public domain.
