  • Integration of a Mechanical Interlocking Lever Frame Into a Signalling
    MRes in Railway Systems Engineering and Integration College of Engineering, School of Civil Engineering University of Birmingham Integration of a Mechanical Interlocking Lever Frame into a Signalling Demonstrator By: Mersedeh Maksabi Supervisor: Prof. Felix Schmid DATE SUBMITTED: 2013-10-30 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Preliminaries Executive Summary Railway signalling has experienced numerous changes and developments, most of which were associated with its long evolutionary history. These changes have occurred gradually from the earliest days of the railway industry when fairly safe distances between the trains were controlled by signalmen with their rudimentary tools to multiple aspects colour light signalling systems and complicated operating systems as well as computerised traffic information systems. Nowadays signalling technology is largely affected by the presence of high performance electromechanical relays which provide the required logic on one hand and securely control the train movement on the other. However, this kind of control system is bulky and requires large space to accommodate. Therefore, such a technology will be expensive as it requires intensive efforts for manufacturing, installation and maintenance.

  • Singnalling for Track Engineers
    November 2018 Indian Railways Institute of Civil Engineering Pune - 411001 FIRST EDITION : NOVEMBER 2018 70/- November 2018 Indian Railways Institute of Civil Engineering Pune - 411001 FOREWORD Indian Railway is one of the largest railway system in the world and spread in wide area. Safety and Punctuality demands up gradation of technology, modernization and adequate knowledge of field officials. It is felt since long to give professional response in track work connected to & dependent on signalling works. Engineering and signalling works when executed especially in yards require presence of each other. Therefore, Engineering officials need adequate technical knowledge about signalling appliances like track circuit, Axle counters and point machines. Instructions regarding track work in proximity of signals are scattered in form of Manuals, various policy instructions/ guidelines issued by Railway Board, RDSO from time to time. A necessity was therefore felt for compiling these instructions on this subject for quite some time. Shri Surendra Kumar Bansal, then Dean/IRICEN, Shri Niraj Kumar Mishra, Associate Professor/Track-1 & Shri Narendra Kumar Meher, Sr. Instructor/S&T-1 have made sincere efforts to fulfil this demand by bringing out this in book form. However, this book need review at frequent interval to keep it updated for authenticity. I hope that Civil Engineers of Railway will find it extremely informative and useful. Pune Ajay Goyal November 2018 Director / IRICEN / Pune PREFACE Safety is the first & foremost criteria in Indian railway followed by punctuality. It is impossible to deal safe running of trains without signaling arrangement. Signals give advance information regarding correct setting of routes and impart pre-warning to Loco pilots.

  • Indian Railway Signaling
    CHAPTER – I HISTORY OF RAILWAYS AND EVOLUTION OF SIGNALLING SYSTEM 1 Evolution of Indian Railways: 1.1 The fundamentals of Railway transportation are to move vast traffic carrying goods and people speedily and with safety on a prepared track that supports and guides the vehicles which roll along its surface. A railway train must go where the rails lead it to. The process might have begun accidentally when Babylonians and perhaps their Sumerian ancestors observed that their two wheeled, animal drawn, carriage gauged out parallel ruts in the ground path, which they most commonly followed. Greeks made the smooth stone ways for transporting their heavy material for building monuments. Thus the railway existed even earlier to evolution of steam engines as long back as 2245 BC i.e. some 4250 years back. 1.2 Horse traction began after introduction of iron rails and lasted beyond 19th century. The revolution to transport industry came with the evolution of steam engines. Although steam loco was invented in 1803 but it took innumerable refinements before it could be adopted for reliable and safe substitute for horse. The story of railways as we perceive to is 180 years old only. A pair of bullocks hauled traffic on first indigenously financed railways named as Gailwar’s Baroda State railway (GBSR), which was opened in 1863. 1.3 Idea to connect the then Bombay with Thana with a railway track was conceived by Chief Engineer, Bombay Government in 1843. Great India Peninsula Railway (GIPR) Company was incorporated in England by an act of Parliament on 1st August, 1849.
