  • Developing Standards for New Technology Signal Systems for Rail Transit Applications
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 34, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Developing standards for new technology signal systems for rail transit applications A. F. Rumsey Parsons Transportation, New York, U.S.A. Abstract Radio communications-based train control (CBTC) systems, also referred to as transmission-based signalling (TBS) systems, permit more effective utilization of rail transit infrastructure by allowing trains to operate safety at much closer headways, by permitting greater flexibility and greater precision in train control, and by providing continuous safe train separation assurance and overspeed protection. One of the challenges facing transit agencies who are considering the introduction of CBTC systems, however, is the lack of industry standards for this emerging technology, and the current inability of trains equipped with CBTC equipment from one supplier to operate on track equipped with CBTC equipment from a second supplier. This paper reports on the status of two separate initiatives being taken in North America to develop standards for CBTC systems for rail transit applications; one based on a voluntary consensus development approach, and the second based on a competitive procurement approach. 1 Background Conventional signalling and train control systems rely almost exclusively on track circuits to detect the presence of trains. Information on the status of the track ahead is provided to train operators either through wayside signals or trainborne cab signals. Ensuring compliance with the signals is achieved either through strict observance of operating procedures, or through automatic train protection features such as wayside electro-mechanical train stops, or trainborne supervisory equipment linked to the train's braking system.

  • 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.

  • Railroad Signals & Related Equipment
    Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society Incorporated File No. 11 Signals & Related Equipment Hardware Collection Train Signal & Equipment • During the early years of railroading, methods had to be devised to ensure that two trains did not meet at the same time on the same section of track. • This was initially accomplished through the use of timetables and train orders. • Block Signal systems were developed, which indicated to the locomotive engineer whether or not a train was head in the next block of track. • These signals were set manually until the track circuit was developed, which sensed the presence of a train in the block and set the signals automatically. • The track circuit was designed to be fail-safe, so that the battery or any wire connections were to fail or if a rail was broken, a clear signal would be displayed. • Insulated joints were used to define the limits of the block. • Various types of track circuits are utilized in automatic traffic control device installations at highway-rail grade crossings.

ERTMS has now expanded (also outside Europe) to become the international standard for train protection. Alongside safety and interoperability, replacement of ATB with the European developed safety and traffic management railway system, ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System), also offers potential gains in terms of the other goals from the Long Term Rail Agenda (LTSa) such as capacity, speed and reliability. This primarily concerns the replacement of the (electro) mechanical relay technology by ICT in the basic train protection system. This will enable a system transition that could not otherwise be realised by optimising ATB. The Temporary Maintenance and Innovation for Rail commi#ee (Kuiken commi#ee), the House of Representatives of the States General, the Cabinet and the railway sector believe that ERTMS offers opportunities for the future.

De eerste versies van de lijst telden slechts enkele bladzijden en werden op informele wijze verspreid onder collega’s van onder meer ProRail, NS Reizigers, NedTrain, Strukton en Railion, die er dankbaar gebruik van maakten. Al gauw kreeg ik vele aanvullingen toegestuurd. De lijst groeide daardoor snel en dit is alweer de 20e bijgewerkte en herziene versie, die hierbij als 3e druk in (elektronische) boekvorm verschijnt. Boven de bladzijden heb ik echter wel de vermelding 20e versie laten staan, omdat er al zoveel exemplaren van vorige versies in omloop zijn. 1e druk, april 2012 2e uitgebreide en herziene druk, april 2015 3e uitgebreide en herziene druk, september 2018 CIP-GEGEVENS ISBN 978-90-818932-4-4 NUR 464 Uitgegeven via de website www.nvbs.com van de Postbus 1384, 3800 BJ Amersfoort © Peter Gutter 2018 Deze uitgave is met de meeste zorg samengesteld.

Overname van gegevens uit deze uitgave is toegestaan mits de bron wordt vermeld. Inleiding Het Nederlandse spoorbedrijf hangt letterlijk aan elkaar van de afkortingen (ofwel verkortingen, zoals ze bij het spoor genoemd worden). Dat stamt nog uit de tijd dat gegevens bij de spoorwegen telegrafisch werden overgeseind. De verkorting Asdm bijvoorbeeld, is nu eenmaal sneller over te seinen dan de volledige benaming Amsterdam Muiderpoort. Lange tijd werden de verkortingen door de NS bijgehouden in een officiële lijst, genaamd LV ofwel de Lijst van Verkortingen C 0405.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.
