– Size– Terget Over 1000 Trains moved daily– Over 1000 Points managed– 40 Stations (relay and electronic Interlocking) controlled by 1 control

centre also driving passenger information system. – Many train types (AV, Freight, suburban)

– Time schedule– Started in 2003, operation not disturbed during migration– 70% already in service – completion in 2010

Manual control level features

•Allows animation of signalling mimic to monitor and control field equipment: signals, points, routes, cycles, track-circuits, etc.

•Interface different Interlocking system technologies

− CBI (Alstom and not)

− Various relay based Interlockings

− Easy to adapt to any kind of signalling principle:

• more than 10 in CTC Nodo

Monitoring & control of signalling equipment

Easy to adapt to any kind of interlocking: relay based and electronic .

Bologna OCC 13

Manual control level features

Train tracking & identification (remote control sending from a station detail view)

• The route is manually set by the operator according to signalling rules

Bologna OCC 14

Automatic control features

From Off-line to Online Timetable Management

• Manages information related to the train trip in order to have for each day the current train features.

• Each day can present specific timetable requirements and it is possible to have 365 different trip plans

Complete and flexible solution for any kind of timetable

Bologna OCC 15

Automatic control features

Infrastructure Management• Management of accidental or planned infrastructure restrictions in order to:

− Provide the operator with the real and planned infrastructure− Enhance the plan and regulation of the train circulation

• Two types of Infrastructure Restrictions are previously planned and displayed on the Time-Distance Graph to the operator who knows in advance the future infrastructure state:− Temporary Way Restrictions (TWR)

• A section of track which may not be used by circulating trains• A section of traction power which will be out of service • Some equipment is out of service and may not be crossed by circulating trains

− Temporary Speed Restrictions (TSR)• A section of track which may be used for circulating trains, but at a reduced speed• A point corresponding to equipment (point-end, signal, etc.) on the infrastructure

which may be used in a reduced speedComplete management of authorization process and status management including impact on traffic forecast

Bologna OCC 16

Automatic control features

Time-Distance Graph

• Train progression shown by continuous line and train number

• Train category coded by customised colour

• Special symbols indicate block section line conflict and solution

• Pull down menu to represent:− Current train status− Current trains

Automatic control features

Time-Distance Graph

• Infrastructure states (Temporary way and speed restrictions, exception)

Temporary way restriction in Sant’Anna station

Temporary way restriction between Marrubiu and Uras stations

Temporary speed restriction in Pabillonis station

Temporary speed between San Gavinoand Sanluri stations

Exception in Serramanna station

Exception on the line between Solarussaand Oristano stations

Powerfull and friendly HMI solution

Bologna OCC 18

Automatic control features

Automatic Route Setting• Routes are set:

− Manually: no route for the train is requested by ARS function. The train is under the operator’s control.

− Automatically: the route is set automatically according train movement and timetable information on ARS request.

• ARS, following the context, can be applied on: an area, a train, a station

• Route selection Interface− Powerfull human interface to modify on the fly full

train routing

ARS: Tested successfully on complex track network and on high traffic density lines for both passenger and freight trains

Validation

Check

•Conflict detection on tracks, blocks, train resources link, timetable, etc

•Immediate Conflict representation on TDG

•Working on current data (up to 2 hrs in future)

•Three steps process (manual and automatic)

•Detection phase• Solution phase• Validation phase

•• Local mode (two trains)•Global mode (all trains in the interval)

Solution are based on “target functions”Dynamic priorities by Classes, Delay and Time
