Engineering & Maintenance Directorate
• The Engineering & Maintenance Directorate manages a $1.1 billion annual maintenance program on behalf of Sydney Trains and NSW Trains
• Responsible for delivering a safe, reliable passenger fleet and metropolitan rail network, to meet the expectations of our customers every day
5
Challenges for Engineering & Maintenance
• Increasing customer expectations • Passenger growth • Increasing passenger & freight services • 2018 timetable
We need to:
• Manage costs • Improve capacity, performance and resilience of
infrastructure • Introduce a step change in technology and processes
6
Moving Forward
• Centralised control from the Rail Operations Centre
• Hornsby Junction remodelling • Power Supply Upgrade Program • Signalling & Control Systems
Strategy • Smart technology • Less disruption to train operations • Industry collaboration to support
innovation

Jim Modrouvanos Executive Director
Enabling Innovation - New Technology Deployment
• Application of the RISSB ‘Rail Equipment Type Approval Standard’ (AS 7702)
• Collaborate on an efficient and effective type approval process • Early visibility of TfNSW requirements • De-risk later deployments • Decouple approval activities from project delivery timelines and
process • Allow for consideration of cross acceptance evidence

Current Signalling Environment
• Reaching capacity of current signalling • Obsolete technology no longer supported and
other signalling reaching life expiry • Track circuits & points have a major impact on
Sydney Trains’ performance • Working in the ‘danger zone’ affecting punctuality
of train services • Assets widely distributed along track • Reducing track access for major possessions • Increasing frequency of extreme weather events
impacting services • Continually looking for efficiencies and cost
savings

Strategy for Significant Signalling Assets Interlockings:
• To become less distributed and use communications network to control field equipment
• Expectation for an increase in interlockings (from 124 to 176*) • Potentially located in the vicinity of Network Maintenance Bases
Axle Counters: • Immediate need to replace existing track circuit technology as part of interlocking
replacements • Needed to support future widespread deployment of ETCS Level 2, bringing
benefits of degraded mode operation and consolidation of equipment housings • Expectations are to gradually see the replacement of the existing 7,000* track
circuits with a similar or greater number of axle counters Point Machines:
• Simplification of network configurations to balance network reliability and operational flexibility of the network
• Expectations are to see a minor reduction in the 2,000 point machines
* Approximate figures from the Sydney Trains Asset Management Plan (STAMP)
15
Characteristics of Future Strategic Assets Axle Counters: • SIL 4 compliance • Compatible with ETCS Level 2 operation • Industry standard interfaces/protocols • Simplified designs to reduce installation
and maintenance times • Compatible with track maintenance such
as grinding, re-surfacing etc. • Self test / remote diagnostic / condition
information • Centralise control equipment at
convenient locations e.g. nearest station • Test & commission without impacting
operational services • Degraded mode operation and
automatic reset capability

People & Process Considerations
• Balancing maintenance visits with reliability
• Reduced time in the ‘danger zone’
• Reducing opportunity for human error
• Demonstration of proven product use elsewhere
• Long-term availability of product support / tools
• Licence arrangements for in-house application data changes
• Training availability and provision of manuals / material etc.
• Whole of life costs
19
Historical Issues Preventing Product Innovation
• Technology strategies and vision – Limited network strategic direction
• Reliant on projects sponsoring new technology – Delivery risk – Additional costs
• Engineers had preferred products – In-house products
• Type Approval of products: – Time consuming – Not aligned to criticality of product – No guarantee of supply contract
20
Collaboration to Improve Innovation
• Sydney Trains Signalling & Control Systems Strategy – Input and support from the ASA & Operational
Systems – Encouraging greater industry collaboration
• Sydney Trains Strategic Procurement Process – Separating type approval from project delivery – Identify network needs for innovative technology
• Asset Standards Authority Type Approval Guide – Aligned to RIISB Rail Type Approval – Remove bottlenecks – Aligned to asset criticality
• Asset Standards Authority Product Specifications – These support Type Approval and Sydney Trains

We are offering… • The opportunity to introduce new, market-leading signalling and control system
solutions to Sydney Trains aligned to its S&CS Strategy
• A market facing collaborative cross-agency (Sydney Trains and ASA) approach to evaluating and type approving solutions
• Identification and shortlisting starting from less prescriptive, performance based statements of requirements, and ending with type approval of one or more solutions within each asset category that provide the most whole-of-life value for money.
• Simultaneous dialogue with both Sydney Trains and ASA Engineering teams examining the technical, logistical and commercial capabilities of shortlisted solutions
• Post-EOI long term supply agreements with preferred type-approved suppliers (through a separate RFx event) and collaboration beyond the typical supplier/consumer relationship throughout the equipment lifecycle

Peter McGregor Lead Engineer Signalling & Control Systems
Collaboration to Improve Innovation
• Sydney Trains implementing a Strategic Procurement Process
– Separating type approval from project delivery – Identify needs for innovative technology
• Asset Standards Authority publishing a new Type Approval Standard
– Establish the need for new technology between organisations – Remove bottlenecks
34
Type Approval process and new standards
• Project Sponsored type approval has challenges – Time, cost and risk pressures on projects
• Type Approval of products using AS7702
– Initial consultation to identify supporter, applicable standards and who, how, when for the type approval assessment
35
New standards to support • Asset Standards Authority has drafted new product standards which are going out for
industry consultation in August
