1. Introduction

1.1 Project backdropThe objective of this Project is to provide public transport services to passengers travelling within the areaof King Abdullah Financial District, using the KAFD Monorail System.

Such system will comprise a one track line in circular configuration, totally elevated with a satisfactorilylevel of integration into the whole KAFD development, buildings, hotel complexes and street network.

The Monorail System should be a state of the art ultra- modern urban transit system, with air conditioned trainsand stations, in keeping with the image of the KAFD Development. One major characteristic and challenge ofthis project is the integration of the stations inside buildings.

In addition as monorail technology is a quite small segment of worldwide mass transit system there are only avery limited number of major and strong manufacturers with quite proven and proprietary solution.

1.2 Purpose of the documentThis specific technical document specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture, delivery,

installation, testing and commissioning of the communication systems and all associated systems andcomponents of the KAFD Monorail Transit System Project.

The relevant document describes the performances and the requirements of the communications system.This description takes the reference the preliminary operation plan. Accordingly, Contractor shall have toalso refer to this document.

Except Radio equipment used by Riyadh Police, the Employer and its Consultant have deployed theirutmost efforts to produce a flexible tender documentation, although the specific technical documentsattached herein may seem at times rather restrictive. It is stressed that the intended procurement processshall be driven mostly by functional and performance requirements. While certain clauses prescribespecific values, characteristics or solutions to be conformed to by the Contractor, it is understood thatthese specific requirements represent the current state-of-the-art adopted by the industry and should be

read as a reference.Should the contractor feel disadvantaged because of a harsh or unnecessary requirement, he is invited toraise his concerns to the Employer and offer alternative solutions. The Employer will favourably consideralternatives that strictly match the intended functional requirements without compromising essentialfactors such as RAMS and aesthetics.

4. Generality

4.1 Global overviewThe proposed communications systems shall consist of modern, reliable equipments based on proventechnologies to provide high quality, redundancy and reliable services.

The Communication System for the KAFD Monorail Transit Line shall consist of:

- the Multi Service Network (Data Transmission Backbone),- the Public Address (PA) System,- the Passenger Information System (PIS),- the Telephone and Ancillary (TEL) System,- the Intercom system, the Voice recording system,

- the Radio System,- the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) System,- the Video Broadcast System (VBS),- the Video Recorders System,- the Fire Alarm and environmental System (FAS),- the Access Control System (ACS),- the Clock System,- the e-mail system.

Each subsystem is connected to the Data Transmission Backbone.

4.2 Performance

The Communication System shall be a highly resilient system in order to grant an availability level close to100%. There shall be no single point of failure in the Communication System which may result in loss ofessential communications such as important voice and data communications and CCTV surveillance. Allessential equipment and their transmission links, including their power supplies, shall be duplicated whererequired. The Contractor shall advise what will be the essential equipment in the proposedCommunication System.

4.3 Approvals and authorisations

The Contractor shall be responsible for liaising and interfacing with the relevant TelecommunicationAuthority of Riyadh for applying and obtaining all approvals and authorisations required for theimplementation and operation of the proposed Communication System (radio frequencies as an example).The Contractor shall provide all design data and any other information as may be required. TheContractor shall bear all fees and charges associated with the applications, obtaining the approvals, andoperations of the proposed system including licence fees, connection and leasing fees, etc. until systemhandover.

4.4 SupervisionAll communications sub-systems (PA, PIS, CCTV, Radio, Access Control, Clock systems,) will beremote-controlled and monitored from the OCC. This will be operated on separated workstations or on


11/71





workstations used for SCADA system. All failures/alarms will be directly reported and logged to adatabase.Software used for the configuration and monitoring of the networked equipment shall use Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP). English only or English/Arabic languages will be used for MMI software.

4.5 Global constraint of installation or operationCommunication system will cover all areas (Trains, Stations, Tracks, Depot / Workshop / OCC).All employed materials must be adapted to a railway environment. They must have been already usedsuccessfully in comparable systems and networks, including in the field of harsh weather conditionssimilar to Riyadh.

Telecommunication devices will be installed preferably in dedicated technical rooms (about 100 m) or atleast in common technical rooms with low voltage systems like signalling, fare ticketing when there is nomatter with this location in the same room. Any equipment, whether in public areas or not, that is exposed

to the external ambient conditions shall be sealed to IP65. If they are not exposed to the external ambientconditions, they shall be sealed to IP55. All equipments shall be readily accessible for replacement ormaintenance as appropriate.The proposed Communication System shall facilitate future expansion and integration with existing andfuture transit systems. The Contractor shall describe how these are provided in the proposed system.Actually, a global minimal reserve of 20 % in systems is required when no more important percentage isclearly wanted in this document.All public area equipment shall be selected, constructed and mounted in such a way as to architecturallyblend in with its surroundings and be vandal proof. The Contractor shall describe how all thecommunication systems can be integrated into a single architectural fixture. Equipment shall be designedand installed so that they can be effectively isolated for maintenance or other purposes without affectingthe performance of the rest of the system.

Great attention is drawn to the interfacing with architectural works and any other subsystem that mayaffect the all telecommunications subsystem installations layouts to ensure a consistent design approachwithin the public areas (no cables shall be exposed, special design integration for antennas, cameras,loudspeakers, etc).

5. Multi Service Network (MSN)

The MSN shall provide the different types of data transmission facilities for voice, data and video, tosupport the fixed communications for all communication or not systems and subsystems (radio, PA,PIS,CCTV, Access Control, signalling, Power Supply,.). Actually, it will principally be used for transmissionsbetween the OCC room and distant sites (depot and stations).

5.1 Architecture

The MSN will cover the whole monorail system, i.e. stations, depot, OCC building with two rings of fibreoptic links and will be fault tolerant. A Cable cut or an equipment failure must have no influence on theglobal MSN operation and performance.

This MSN will consist of two sub-networks that must be totally separated:

A first one is used for data transmission needs of all KAFD systems except the e-mail and ticketingsystems. There is no link with outside KAFD transmission systems.


12/71





A second one is dedicated to the e-mail and ticketing systems with links to outside KAFD transmissionsystems (web, internet). There must be no link with the first sub-network. For redundancy reasons, someuser systems like SCADA may also use this second sub-network in order to have a link on each MSN

sub-network. Actually, when a node in station/depot/OCC is out of order, there is yet an active link on thesecond node that allows the system to remain active.

This separation intervenes mainly for security reasons. In fact, data transmitted on the first sub-networkmust be protected so that nobody outside the KAFD monorail system can have access to them (hackersby example).

The two sub-networks will be based on the Gigabit Ethernet standard. The Contractor will be responsiblefor fixing the bit rate. Actually, it must include bandwidth for all data transmissions on each sub-network,with a spare capacity for future extensions of 50 %. Whatever, bandwidth must be at least equal to 1Gbit/s.

5.2 Optical fibre

To interconnect the gigabit Ethernet nodes, optical fibre cables will be used. Monomode fibre (ITU T G652 D) will be deployed.

Each MSN sub-network is supported by one optical fibre cable, all along the line (stations, OCC anddepot). These two optical cables must be absolutely independent with no common way wherever on theline.

These cables, compliant with IEC 60794 requirements and others specifications presented in dedicatedparts of this document, will consist of 24 fibres at least with a reserve of 50 %, separated in differenttubes, by example 4 tubes of 6 fibres each. Each fibre and tube must comply with a colour code to allowthe easy identification.

Cables will be deployed along the guidebeam to form a complete ring. In stations and building, two

separated ways must be used for cable entering the technical room and cable going out of the technicalroom. 15 meters of cable must be set in reserve when entering or leaving the station or building to allowfuture repair operations on cables

Cables will be connected on connection points which allow separating upstream and downstreamdirections of the cables. Moreover, the cable connection points for first and second sub-network must beclearly segregated.

5.3 Gigabit Ethernet nodes

In each station, depot, OCC and more generally in each location where needed, an industrial gigabitEthernet node, compliant with railway environment (shock, vibration, electromagnetic fields, surge

voltages), will be installed for each sub-network.

Standard interfaces are required. Consequently, Fast-Ethernet 10/100 base T, RJ 45 ports for connectingsystem subscribers will be used. The number of RJ 45 ports must be adapted to the location where thenode is located and the number of required connections. This number will be fixed by the Contractor,including a reserve of 30 %.
