RTSA SA CHAPTER NEWSLETTER
July 2016 EDITION
We have been lucky in recent weeks to have had the opportunity to attend presentations in
Adelaide from two international eminent speakers. Adrian Shooter CBE presented on 25 th May
on the current state of privatisation of the railways in the UK. He outlined the history of
privatisation from the late 1980’s through to the present day, including problems with the
privatised track owner leading to the track infrastructure being brought back under public control
with Network Rail. Adrian also described the formation of Chiltern Railways which ran an
alternative route from London to Birmingham under his management. An interesting aspect was
the purchase and refurbishment of ex-London Underground carriages and their transformation
into diesel powered units for inter-city use. Adrian proudly advised that the motor packs could
be removed from the train in four minutes by a trained maintenance crew!
On 2nd June we were able to attend a presentation by Dr Roman Kovalev on Computer
Simulation of Railway Vehicle Dynamics. Dr Kovalev is Deputy Director of Computational
Mechanics Ltd in Bryansk, Russia. The presentation included some very impressive vehicle
dynamic simulations together with analysis of wheel-rail interface loads and stresses. It was
pleasing to note that his simulation tool will now be supported in Australia by Monash University
Institute of Railway Technology, so it will be available to Australian engineers.
On the 7th July, we have a very interesting speaker, Dr Anjum Naweed, on the topic of level
crossing user behaviour. I have had a preview of the content, as the work was sponsored by
ARTC, and you will find it hard to believe how cars, cyclists and pedestrians behave.
Looking further forward to 1st September, we have a double billing with speakers on design of
level crossing safety and also a recent accident investigation. Further details will follow as we get
closer to that event.
Please mark your diaries for these upcoming events, so that you can extract the maximum
possible interest and networking from your technical society.
Note: End of last year presentation slides and references by Simeon Cox has been included in
this newsletter.

Victoria line
3
The spoil from the tunnel excavations was used to raise the level of the whole
depot by 2 – 3 meters as it was envisaged a large tidal surge on the Thames could
flow up the river Lee and potentially flood the network. Obviously prior to the
construction of the Thames flood barrier.
The Victoria line is used by 200 million passengers each year, making it the sixth
most heavily used line on the network in absolute figures, but in terms of the
average number of journeys per mile it is by far the most intensively used line.
The Victoria line is a deep tube 21 km
long with the entire track underground the
only exception is the maintenance facility
at Northumberland Park Depot.

Mass Transit Tube Train Delivered by Bombardier at
London Underground May 2016 Presentation
Carl Parr, Electrical Engineer, Bombardier
Carl Parr is an electrical engineer employed by Bombardier
Transportation in Adelaide to facilitate the ongoing operation
of the 3000 fleet and introduction and operation of the 4000
class EMU. Prior to working in Australia Carl worked in
London introducing the 09 stock tube trains for London
Underground. This was a medium sized fleet of 376 railcars
that were introduced servicing the needs of the commuters.
Prior to this as part of his 26 year career in the rail industry,
Carl worked on a number of diesel, electric rail projects which
included the Euro shuttle and class 92 locomotives which
operate through the channel tunnel between the south of
England and northern France.

Pre-series
5
Due to the criticality of the train
working successfully from
introduction.
2 pre-series trains were built to
facilitate testing of all the major
systems including propulsion,
brakes, comms, ATO within
Engineering hours at night.
T1 was fitted out with 50% of the
interior to permit acoustic testing.
This train never entered
passenger service but was later
used by the bomb squad for
testing.
T2 did enter passenger service
after a modification program

Delivery
6
As there is no rail connection to
the main line. All the railcars were
delivered by road.
A temporary ramp was built each
time and the railcar was lowered
using a winch.
To prevent a runaway a class 67
stock was used as a block
between the delivery line and the
tunnel entrance.
Fortunately we didn’t have any
issues.

• First LU train to have this system
• The ‘09 stock trains have a Sensitive Edge which can detect if an object is being dragged along the platform once the train starts to move – which will trigger an immediate emergency brake application
• However, the current design is also spuriously triggering when objects inside the
saloon become trapped.

Network Operation
20
During peak times at central stations delays greater than 6 minutes may result
in temporary station closures.
Contractual penalties were set at all delays greater than 1.59 seconds
Maximum line speed 80 kmh.
At peak times 2 driver’s are employed to reduce the turn around reducing
terminus dwell time.
Trains run every 105 seconds during peak periods
The new signalling system (Distance to Go) allowed a revised timetable to be
introduced February 2013, allowing up to 33 trains per hour instead of 27.
This in combination with the new, faster trains will increase the line's capacity
overall by 21%, equivalent to an extra 10,000 passengers per hour

Traction Control Modes
22
Traction mode is selected via the Master Control Switch (MCS).
In RESTRICTED MANUAL the train speed is restricted to a maximum of 16km/h. If this speed
is exceeded the emergency brake will be applied.
In PROTECTED MANUAL The Train Operator can drive the train up to the maximum line
speed manually by using the TBC. Train speed is governed by the ATP.
In AUTOMATIC mode the train is driven fully automatically controlled by the ATO/ATP system.

Auxiliary Support Mode (ASM)
Auxiliary Support Mode (ASM)
The MCMs enter ASM while any A car is motoring or coasting within a gap.
ASM utilises the energy generated by the motor, (being unable to use full regeneration
mode due to gapping), to control the ACM DC link to 530V.
During the ASM the MCM goes into reduced regeneration mode to maintain the ACM DC
link with just enough power so it can remain in operation and is limited to a maximum of 3
seconds in duration.
ASM is speed dependent it is only enabled at speeds above 18 km/h, and is controlled by
the VCU

The control of the ac induction motor drive in traction application is achieved in 3 stages
i) Constant torque mode : The torque developed by a motor is proportional to the product of the
magnetic flux in the air gap, and the rotor current. The applied voltage is proportional to the
synchronous frequency and the magnetic flux in the air gap. To keep the magnetic flux constant,
therefore, the applied voltage to the traction motor is to be made proportional to the synchronous speed.
The rotor current depends upon the slip frequency of the rotor. By keeping this constant, the rotor
current is also kept constant. This is possible till the voltage is increased to the rated terminal voltage of
the traction motor. Thus in this mode the control is achieved by increasing the voltage and frequency
uniformly with respect to the actual speed of the rotation of the rotor and the required slip frequency.
ii) Constant power mode : In this mode the voltage is already reached to the rated voltage. By
increasing the frequency, the magnetic flux in the air gap is reduced proportionately. Thus the motor is
made to give constant power output till the maximum service speed is reached.
iii) Balancing speed stage : Once the maximum pre-determined speed is achieved, the same power
output from the traction motor may not be required and the output is to be matched to meet the
resistance of the train for running at the balancing speed. This is achieved by suitably reducing the
terminal voltage of the traction motor.

DC Link
The ‘DC link’ is part of the power circuit of the MCM. This is the electrical section after the
‘input filter inductors’ and before the ‘3 phase inverter’. The components within this section
are often referred to as the ‘DC Link’
30DC link acts as a store of energy and filter
Under normal operating conditions the brake chopper works in conjunction with the brake resistor are used to discharge the DC Link.
During regenerative braking if the DC Link voltage exceeds the regenerative voltage limit (790V currently) then the brake choppers are activated to reduce it to acceptable limits.
A failure of the brake chopper circuitry causes a Protective Shutdown of the MCM.

Economies of scale, multiple suppliers – very attractive to
railways everywhere – not just Europe.
Level 1 trialled in NSW in 2005/2006 on Blue Mountains line
Levels 1 and 2 ‘flirted with’ by most states since.
SA State Government proposed fitment in 2011
Contract let with Siemens (formally Invensys) in Nov 2012
+Network Implementation Strategy
Different philosophy to mainland Europe – beginning from a
‘generally safe’ starting point.
Business case based on incremental safety improvement and
potential for performance enhancement.
Implementation must be based upon obtaining greatest
value.
Implementation in parallel with CBI resignalling provides
greatest value:
Capital cost
Opportunities for integration
+Network Implementation Strategy
Seaford line
Integrated with modular signalling
Uses Ethernet serial interface between LEU and interlocking
Facilitates a number of potential enhancements / migration
strategies
Belair Line
No plans for resignalling – No electrification
New Westlock central interlocking
SSI field equipment can be life extended > 20 years
LEUs use ‘parallel’ interface to read actual signal aspects
+Network Implementation Strategy
