Communications-based train control for the traffic management

Some of the top 30 world's busiest metros in terms of annual passenger rides utilise a CBTC system Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) is a railway signaling system that ma es use of the telecommunications between the train and trac e!uipment for the traffic management and infrastructure control" By means of the CBTC systems# the e$act position of a train is nown more accurately than with the traditional signaling systems" This results in a more efficient and safe way to manage the railway traffic" %etros (and other railway systems) are able to impro&e headways while maintaining or e&en impro&ing safety" ' CBTC system is a (continuous# automatic train control system utili)ing high-resolution train location determination# independent of trac circuits* continuous# high-capacity# bidirectional train-to-wayside data communications* and trainborne and wayside processors capable of implementing 'utomatic Train +rotection ('T+) functions# as well as optional 'utomatic Train ,peration ('T,) and 'utomatic Train Super&ision ('TS) functions"( BASIC BLOCK/ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAM OF CBTC:

%ain applications/
0) 'utomatic Train ,peration ('T,) is an operational safety enhancement de&ice used to help automate operations of trains" %ainly# it is used on automated guideway transits and subways which are easier to ensure safety of humans" %ost systems elect CBTC systems are modern railway signaling systems that can mainly be used in urban railway lines (either light or hea&y) and '+%s" -n the modern CBTC systems the trains continuously calculate and communicate their status &ia radio to the wayside e!uipment distributed along the line" This status includes# among others parameters# the e$act position# speed# tra&el direction and bra ing distance" This information allows calculation of the area potentially occupied by the train on the trac " -t also enables the wayside e!uipment to define the points on the line that must to maintain a dri&er (train operator) to mitigate ris s associated with failures or emergencies" %any modern systems are lin ed with 'utomatic Train Control ('TC) and in many cases 'utomatic Train +rotection ('T+) where normal signaller operations such as route setting and train regulation are carried out by the system" The 'T, and 'TC1'T+ systems will wor together to maintain a train within a defined tolerance of its timetable" The combined system will marginally ad.ust operating parameters such

,&er time there ha&e been many different safety systems labeled as 'utomatic Train Control" The term is especially common in 6apan# where 'TC is used on all Shin ansen (bullet train) lines and on some con&entional rail lines as a replacement for 'TS" 7eference/ Busiest Subways" %att 7osenberg for 'bout"com# +art of the 4ew 8or Times Company" 'ccessed 6uly 2002" -555 Standard for CBTC +erformance and 9unctional 7e!uirements (0:;:"0-0<<<)"=2> -555 7ail Transit ?ehicle -nterface Standards Committee of the -555 ?ehicular Technology Society# 0<<<" 'ccessed 6anuary 2000" CBTC +ro.ects" =:> www"tsd"org1cbtc1pro.ects# 200@" 'ccessed 6une 2000" CBTC Aorld Congress +resentations# Stoc holm# 4o&ember 2000 =0B> 3lobal Transport 9orum" 'ccessed Cecember 200 ST'99 -4 CD'735 4'%5/
