Traffic Control Devices

Railway traffic control devices are working on railway lines in different, often extreme exploitation conditions. The technical condition of these devices have an immense impact on the safety of passengers traveling by train and throughput of the railway line. Diagnostics of railway traffic control devices is very important. Continuously identification and observation of their damage allows for an effective removal and elimination of existing failures.

The evaluation of the technical systems reliability and safety requires collecting and processing of reliable data which characterizes the processes. The data from current exploitation is particularly important for decision-making processes. It can be used for creation of occurring exploitation phenomena models and allows to determine the expected object behaviour in the future. The railway traffic control devices often work in very difficult exploitation and environmental conditions. The information about their technical condition can be gathered and used for a proper prophylaxis as well as a predictive maintenance of railway traffic. It will allow to choose a maintenance strategy which will consist in optimal use of railway traffic control devices.

Traffic Control Devices

The basic purpose of railway traffic control devices is to ensure a high level of safety of moving trains on the railway network. The railway traffic control devices often work in difficult environmental conditions and are exposed to external interference. These circumstances require continuous analysis of the state of the railway traffic control system. With time, the system's technical condition deteriorates. When its technical condition is not satisfactory it is necessary to operate it and renew its state of use. The rational implementation of exploitation tasks of the railway traffic control system allows the introduction of mathematical modeling methods into exploitation tests. Using the mathematical model of the exploitation process of the railway traffic control system, it is possible to forecast e.g. reliability indicators of its individual objects. Knowledge of exploitation parameters should be used in making decisions in the process of managing the exploitation of the railway traffic control devices.

The Impact

The paper presents the issues of railway traffic control devices testing and focuses on European Train Control System (ETCS) devices widely implemented in railways. The functions of the ETCS system, principles of operation are described. The basic telegrams transmitted in the track-to-train relation are listed. The process of designing and verifying the implemented data and what parameters are checked at the stage of field tests using the locomotive is briefly described. The functional model of the SRK devices, including ETCS elements, was presented, and the close relationship between the base layer of the railway traffic control devices and the ETCS was shown. Equipment testing reduces the availability of the rail network, engages staff, and generates costs. A test generation method is presented to minimize the impact. Two indicators are proposed for reducing the set of checks, the cost of checking and the information effectiveness. The cost of checking due to the problematic estimate is generalized, divided into three groups taking into account the difficulty and resource consumption of bringing the devices to the initial state and their operation according to the test. Therefore, the obtained set of checks is suboptimal and ensures complete coverage of the functions with tests, which is essential when testing devices. The tests are carried out using available setting commands and the implementation of tasks - entry and exit routes at the station. The proposed method is universal and can be applied to any railway traffic control device, regardless of the manufacturing technology. It is a non-invasive method in the structure of the tested devices and does not require additional hardware resources.

The article presents the concept of integration system of design automation and system of project management. A model was developed cooperation between the two systems on several levels, based on continuous monitoring of the design process and comparing the assumed values of the selected parameters from the actual values. The selection of variables transmitted based on the assumption of cooperation project management system with the system of design automation for railway traffic control devices, designed to support of designers. Due to the nature of projects for railway traffic control devices drew attention to the quality control of the project in the context of the safety and reliability of railway traffic control system, the impact of deviations from the schedule to the railway timetable, version compatibility, and changes in the chamfering work on objects with continuous rail traffic. The structure of the model is presented in graphical form.

The article discusses the train signaling system developed in OSŻD. The traffic light signaling currently used on the network managed by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (Polish Railway Lines) is also described. A proposal of traffic light signals is presented, enabling the transmission of information on travel speeds on the turning tracks of turnouts operated on the PKP PLK S.A. network. The proposed signaling has been developed based on OSŻD (in Rus. Организация со-трудничества железных дорог – ОСЖД) signaling. The number of signals needed was obtained by introducing a second yellow light strip and optionally two different flashing frequencies.

The increasing safety requirements for the railway traffic control devices cause that the issue of rational decision making in the management of applied devices operation process become more and more important. The management includes activities necessary for the effective implementation of the operation process and also the ability to the action purpose clarification, the necessary resources preparation, the work plan arrangement and control of their implementation. The implementation each of the indicated functions requires a decision making complicated from a human.
