▌ Introduction


▌Operating Modes CBTC/Fallback)

CBTC/Fallback Switchover,

▌ATP Functionality.

32OPEN

Operating Modes - CBTC/Fallback

▌Primary Operating Mode: CBTC (ZC active, SSI inactive)

• ATS used to send commands to ZC, and receive status from ZC

• ATS used to send commands to VOBC, and receive status from VOBC

• ZC responsible for determining all routing and interlocking decisions within its territory

• VOBC is responsible for operating according to define route and adhering to ATP & ATO

• Train operation can occur in Controlled / Non-Controlled modes

▌Secondary Operating Mode: Fallback (ZC inactive, SSI active)

• ATS used to send commands to SSI, and receive status from SSI

• ECPC used to send route and point commands to SSI, and receive status from SSI

• SSI responsible for determining all routing and interlocking decisions within its territory

• Train operation can occur in Non-Controlled mode only

33OPEN

Operating Modes - CBTC/Fallback Switchover

▌CBTC Fallback Transition Steps

▌Objective: To provide capability of operating the Metro with Primary system down

• Transition is necessary as a result of non-recoverable complete ZC failure (eg. redundancy failure)

• Controlled mode trains are Emergency Braked• Non-Controlled mode trains are requested to stop from OCC• ZC is powered down and CBTC change-over box is switched from CBTC to Fallback at

Interlocking station• SSI (IM) is started by powering on the CPUs• After startup, SSI will provide status of field elements to ATS• For previously Controlled trains, Control Operator re-arranges train spacing according to

fixed block operating rules• Control Operator sets the appropriate route and follow Manual Operating procedures to

continue operation in Fallback mode (line-of-sight)

34OPEN

Operating Modes - CBTC/Fallback Switchover

▌Fallback CBTC Transition Steps

▌Objective: To revert System back to Primary mode once failure has been normalized

• Transition is mandatory* once ZC failure has been normalized

• Trains are requested to stop by Control Operator

• SSI (IM) is powered down and CBTC change-over box is switched from Fallback to CBTC at Interlocking station

• ZC is powered on

• After startup, ZC will obtain status of field elements from FEC and will provide their status to ATS

• Blocks occupied by Train will be displayed as Non-Communicating Obstruction (NCO) on ATS

• NCO is cleared by driving train in Non-Controlled mode out of the affected block

• Standard Operating procedure is followed to initiate movement in Controlled mode

-* Operation can continue in Fallback mode, but major Operator interventions in Central and Onboard are required. Transition to CBTC mode would eliminate the operator intervention.

▌This presentation will discuss only the ATP functionality in detail, as the discussions can be useful in adapting the technology for the already dense Sub-Urban Services on metro cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi.

37OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Speed Determination Functionality.

▌Train Speed Determination Functionality.

▌Wheel Diameter Calibration

• Upon VOBC start up, default wheel size (defined in database) is used until wheel calibration is performed

• Successful wheel calibration requires traveling through pair of calibration transponders 100m apart

• VOBC calculates wheel diameter through inputs from two speed sensors (number of pulses measured), distance between transponders and pulse per revolution defined

• Diameter is accepted if it is within tolerance (between 780mm and 860mm)

• Wheel calibration is in effect when VOBC loses position

• Wheel calibration is not in effect when VOBC is powered off, or is reset

38OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Speed Determination Functionality.- (cont’d)

▌Wheel Rotation & Travel Direction

• Direction of wheel rotation is positive or negative, depending on the inputs from speed sensors

• Travel direction is determined to be either:

• Guideway Direction 0 (GD0)• Guideway Direction 1 (GD1)

• Direction is determined once VOBC has established position

▌Zero Speed, Stationary and Position Determination

• VOBC provides zero speed indication to RS if speed is less than 0.5km/h for 200ms

• Stationary is determined when zero speed is detected for 400ms

39OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Speed Determination Functionality (cont’d)

▌Traveled Distance, Speed & Acceleration

• Loss of Position causes VOBC to apply Emergency Brakes

• Two speed sensors and two accelerometers are used to:

• Calculate distance travelled• Calculate train speed• Calculate acceleration

• Inputs from speed sensors and accelerometers are compared to previous cycle and with system valid ranges to check plausibility

• Implausible data is logged by VOBC

• Persistent implausible data will result in loss of position

• Slip / Slide is detected by comparing speed from speed sensors and accelerometers

• Accelerometer inputs are used to determine speed for slip/slide

40OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Speed Determination Functionality (cont’d)

▌Zero Speed, Stationary and Position Determination

• VOBC provides zero speed indication to RS if speed is less than 0.5km/h for 200ms

• Stationary is determined when zero speed is detected for 400ms

If difference between two wheel speeds is greater than 4km/h, then it will cause loss of position and EB.If difference between two wheel speed is 2km/h for 1s (application cycle being 70ms), then it will cause loss of position and EB.Resolution of speed is 10mm/s. Maximum allowed change in speed in 0.196m/s (based on acceleration of 1m/s^2)Max acceleration defined at 2.8m/s^2

41OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Position Determination Functionality (cont’d)

▌Position is determined based on

• Location of last transponder read• Number of revolutions crossed since reading last transponder

• Measured distance is compared with distance in database

• Train traversal over Point with “disturbed” status will result in loss of position

• Detection of first invalid transponder not in its path implies crosstalk

• Detection of valid transponder concludes crosstalkWhile the train position is established, if the VOBC detects a transponder and this transponder cannot be found on a possible path for the train that is consistent with its current, calculated position (within a reasonable distance), then the VOBC concludes that it must have detected transponder crosstalk from an adjacent track. Once VOBC concludes crosstalk, any other crosstalk transponders detected later on are ignored. If crosstalk is not concluded, then another additional crosstalk transponder will result in unknown position (EB).

42OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Position Determination Functionality (cont’d)

▌Train Length and Train Image

• Active Cab determines Forward travel direction

• Vehicle type is determine based on VID plug

• VID is checked with valid ranges in VOBC database

• Train ID is determined based on VID

• Information required for determining train length, front & rear upon entry

• VOBC ID• Stationary status• Coupler status• Orientation• Reference position

Train Integrity must be established and train must be stationary to determine train length. Vital ID (VID) plug is located at back of VOBC rack. Loss of TI after establishing position results in train image being “unknown”. Once TI is restored, the image is restored.

43OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Tracking Functionality. (cont’d)

▌Communicating Train (CT) Tracking

• VOBC reports position to ATS & ZC

• VOBC sends front & rear position, rollback distance and positional uncertainty to ZC

• Concept of Extended CT position

• Positional Uncertainty used to determine Extended CT position• Used to represent area that could be occupied by train• Example: exiting a block, traversing over Point

• Concept of Contracted CT position

• Position Uncertainty used to determine Contracted CT position• Used to represent minimum area that must be occupied by train• Example: sweeping a NCO

• Extended/Contracted CT position is transparent to Operator

44OPEN

ATP Functionality - Train Tracking Functionality (cont’d)

▌Non-Communicating Train (NCT) Tracking

• Secondary train detection is used to detect NCT

• Two main components of NCT tracking:

• Vital tracking by ZC• Responsible for tracking obstructions using NCOs

• Non-Vital tracking by ATS• Responsible for tracking train IDs on ATS line overview

• NCT image timer used to provide capability of VOBC to recover communication with ZC

• Example of NCT

• CT loses communication and last known position becomes NCT position

• NCT timer is run by ZC (60s)• Upon completion of NCT timer, ZC creates NCO on block

occupied by NCT train

45OPEN

ATP Functionality - Interlocking Functionality

▌ Route Locking

• ZC route reservation provides route locking where guideway elements within route are reserved.

▌ Approach Locking

• Element of the guideway authorized for a train cannot be released if the route is cancelled

• When a route is cancelled, movement authority is pulled back to train front.

• Approach locking will remain until train stops or timer expires

▌ Point Locking

• Point locking is activated based on route reservation over said Point

• Overpoint locking may be activated when CT or NCT overlapping the Point Zone, or NCO overlapping overpoint blocks

• Automatic point movement is prohibited if overpoint locking is activated

• Manual point movement is permitted if overpoint locking is activated (eg: to sweep NCO)

46OPEN

ATP Functionality - Interlocking Functionality - (cont’d)

▌ Flank Protection

• Locking of point in a particular position to protect the flank of another route to prevent sideswipe hazard with a train

• LMA will not be set if Flank conditions are not satisfied for the route

▌ Point Control & Supervision

• Position and status of Points are always monitored by IFB to ZC/SSI

• ATS provides capability to move Points automatically or manually

▌ Conflict Zone

• Prevents simultaneous routing of multiple trains through a particular area of guideway

• Prevents conflicting train movements at turnbacks and crossovers

• Two configurations

• Single train reservation

• Fleeting train reservation

47OPEN

ATP Functionality (cont’d)

▌Overspeed Protection

• VOBC determines authorized speed based on ATP speed profile and defined speed restrictions

• ATP speed profile is calculated based on:

• ATP speed profile

• Temporary Speed Restriction

• Maximum speed for current train operating mode

• End of movement authority

48OPEN


▌Overspeed Protection

• VOBC adheres to ATP speed profile

• Violation of ATP speed profile results in over speed, and a warning alarm is sounded on the TOD

• Violation of EB curve results in application of Emergency Brakes

• Overspeed Alarms

• Overspeed 1 Alarm: Raised for ATO train when speed is approaching Authorized Speed

• Overspeed 2 Alarm: Raised for ATO train when speed is greater than ATO Target Speed

49OPEN


▌Rollback Protection

• VOBC supervises movement in opposite direction than commanded travel direction in Controlled and Non-Controlled modes

• Rollback of more than 3m results in application of Emergency Brakes

▌Obstructed Motion

• VOBC detects motion obstruction if train does not travel a minimum of 1m within 5s after propulsion has been commanded

• Emergency Brakes are applied when VOBC detects Motion Obstruction

• Motion Obstruction is cleared when Emergency Brakes are reset

50OPEN


▌Departure Interlock and Authorization

• VOBC provides Departure authorization in Controlled mode

• Authorization is provided when the following conditions are met:

• The dwell has expired

• Train Operator has pressed the departure button (for ATO mode only)

• Train doors are detected as being closed and locked and disabled

• PSD conditions are met

• LMA is provided and is greater than zero

• “Train Hold” is not in effect

• Emergency Brake is not commanded

• Emergency Brake is not applied

51OPEN


▌Emergency Brake (EB) Control

• Once EB is activated, it can be released only when train is stationary and condition causing EB to be activated has been eliminated

• Conditions resulting in application of EB

• Speed exceeding Target speed plus over speed tolerance

• Train position is unknown in Controlled mode

• Train passes LMA in Controlled mode

• Rollback tolerance is exceeded

• Loss of Train Integrity is detected

• Invalid operating mode is selected

• Unscheduled door opening

• Uncommanded motion in ATO mode

• Obstructed motion

• Crawlback maneuver selected when Crawlback is not authorized

52OPEN


▌Crawlback Functionality

• Crawlback is a low speed maneuver in Reverse direction to align at platform in case of overshoot

• Overshoot of less than 10m can be complemented with Crawlback. Train operator will be provided with message on TOD

• System prevents Points within Crawlback area from being moved and prevents trains from being routed into Crawlback area

• Train performing the Crawlback maneuver is fully protected by ZC

• Crawlback speed is limited to 10km/h

• Crawlback permitted when position is not established

• Emergency Brakes applied when total distance travelled exceeds 10m

▌Conclusion.

57OPEN

Conclusion - Communication Based Train Control solutions for IR.

▌Indian Railways will in the future need to explore every technology and techniques in Railway signaling solutions to:

Increase the Line capacity.

Increase the Safety shield at higher speeds.

Centralized control and management of Train operations.

Provide/enhance the online Train running information to a passenger,

Integrate the Signaling, Telecommunication and Fare collection systems.

▌ While IR already have plans to move from the fixed Block signaling to Automatic signaling in dense “A” routes, state of art proven technology will be needed to further increase the Train density and provide Automatic Train Protection

▌ As an overlay system on the existing signaling systems, ETCS Level 1 or Level 2 are available technologies that have been successfully implemented widely.

▌ Radio based CBTC moving block provide an interesting option to consider on the

Mumbai Metro system as an overlay on the existing system.

58OPEN

Conclusion.

▌Radio based Train Control technologies is a state of art and proven signaling solution for increasing the density (Reduction in headways, and increase in asset utilization capacity).

▌The implementation of such systems for Metro Rail Projects should give the opportunity for the IR main line operators to explore these technologies and adapt it over the IR Mainline networks.

▌Thales looks forward to sharing this knowledge and experience with IR in modeling solutions for the Indian railways.
