Rail Signalling Systems: Design, Principles & Practice 2014 is a course that covers topics such as:
- The purpose of a Signalling Functional Specification (SFS) and factors that influence equipment selection
- A simple aspect sequence chart for signalling control
- The purpose of a signalling plan and the relationships between principles and signal positioning on a signalling plan
- Incident investigation, regulatory system requirements and options for degraded operations
- State operational readiness needs before commissioning
- Key elements from control tables
- Data preparation processes and interlocking interfaces
- Issues arising from changes to a ‘brownfield’ site and how changes are identified
- The process for signal sighting and describe interfaces that can influence it
- Signalling design process and identify critical points in the process
Rail Signalling Systems: Design, Principles & Practice 2014 brings together:
- Track and civil infrastructure managers and engineers
- Regulators
- Project managers, project engineers
- Operations management and traffic management (network controllers, train controllers, timetable planners)
- Signal technicians or trainee signal engineers wanting to broaden their knowledge of a signalling project lifecycle
- Safety assurance practitioners
- Control systems and communications engineers
- Railway maintenance managers
