WhyRailwaySignalling
• More Trains on Same Track
• Higher Speeds
• Simultaneous Parallel Moves in Yard with Isolation
• Operations under Inclement Weather Conditions
• Efficient & Flexible Train Operations
• On line Monitoring for Passenger Information, Train
Control & Management,
• High Level of Safety
Railway Signalling is the Solution
“A Symbol of Trust”

Legacy System Design Philosophy of Indian Railway
S&T FOR SAFETY IN TRAIN OPERATIONS WITH LINE CAPACITY GENERATION
Very Few Slow TrainsTelegraph Morse Key the firstSignal for Train Operations in
the 19th Century
Very Large Number of Fast TrainsAdvanced Signalling Applications for Train
Mangement System in the 21st Century6
FUTURE DESIGN PRINCIPLE• Fault Tolerant System design with redundancy have
advantages of
• High density traffic support
• Reliable thereby less manual intervention and safertrain operation
• Man Power constraints
State of the art Signalling and Telecommunication systems being
used by advanced world Railways to realize Safety and Capacityenhancements compared with Signaling and Communicationsystems adopted on IR (As per WHITE PAPER presented in FEB2015).

Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) &
Train Management System (TMS)
Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) & Train Management System (TMS)
Manual System of Train Operations and Control did not matchthe highly intensive information exchange requirements of SafeOperation.
CTC Controls and Monitors all Train Movements in a definedsection with any number of stations/cabins/sidings – No DistanceLimitation.
Mobile Communication for Operations, Safey & Maintenance -Vital Segment.
Centralized Remote Control of Signals for Efficient TrainOperations.
Effective in regulating trains by monitoring their movements,taking timely decision for diversion of trains, induction /withdrawal / reversal of rakes and Emergencies.
Provides Interfaces for On Line Data Logging for PredictiveMaintenance & Drives for Train Arrival/Departure Information forPassengers.
31
CENTRALIZED TRAFFIC CONTROL (CTC)
TMS helps in real-time monitoring of trains in the control room.The arrival status of local trains is displayed on indicators installedon platforms in the form of a countdown (in minutes) to the train’sarrival on the platform accompanied by automatic announcementson platforms.

• Discrete Signalling Systems are being replaced withModern Signalling system such as Electrical/ElectronicInterlocking, Block Proving Axle counter, TrackCircuiting, Automatic Signalling, LED Signal etc. toimprove Reliability of Signalling Assets andOperational efficiency and Safety of Train Operationon Indian Railways
• Corporate Safety plan 2015-20 is being finalized.
• Modernisation of Signalling System a continuousProcess and have been carried out under CorporateSafety Plan and Indian Railway Modernisation Plan.
CONCLUSION
Modernization of Signalling is essential for
• Increasing Line Capacity
• Higher Train Speeds.
• S&T leverages state-of-art technology for deployment of cost
effective fault tolerant systems to enhance safety, reliability and
efficiency in train operations
• Through put using redundancy in design
• Real time monitoring & control
• Automatic block clearance
• Mobile communication
• Extensive deployment of information technology.
