Rail Signalling Systems: Design, Principles & Practice 2014

Key Topics

• 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
