Our core team has a range of railway electronic signalling control systems skills and experience as follows:• Systems Engineering Manager• Systems Tester in Charge (1.3.190 Mod 1E)• Electronic Signalling System tester (1.3.260 Mod 6)• Signalling Functional tester (1.3.170 Mod 3BI)• Signalling Verification tester (1.3.155 Mod 3C)• Test Assistants (1.3.150 Mod 5E)• ERTMS Support Engineer.

We have experience in working with a wide range of railway control systems products and technologies including: • VDU Signalling Control Systems (VSCS) –

DeltaRail IECC, GE MCS, WestCAD, Siemens VICOS and Ansaldo RCC

• Automatic Routesetting systems (ARS)• SSI, Smartlock and Westlock interlocking systems• GE VHLC interlocking systems• Microlok interlocking systems• Interfacing VSCS to RRI and other electro-

mechanical signalling systems• Train Describers, TDM and Panel Multiplexer systems• Emergency Alarms• SSI Data links • ERTMS• SCADA systems• CCTV systems• Axle Counter Systems.

The team is backed up and supplemented by the OSL resource pool, which can provide additional testing, design, management and logistics support as required.

p e o p l e

We currently employ a small team, across a range of Railway Systems disciplines and experience, ranging from Systems Engineering Manager, Systems Tester in Charge (1.3.190 Mod 1E) through to Systems (1.3.260)/ Signalling Functional Testers (1.3.170) and Test Assistants (1.3.150).

d e v e l o p m e n t o f r e s o u r c e

Due to the shortage of Railway Signalling Systems Engineers throughout the Rail industry, OSL are actively looking at ways to provide additional skilled resources from other industries and train them to meet the rail industry requirements. Working with universities and colleges we are also looking to train new entrants to provide resources for the long-term benefit of OSL and the Rail industry, ensuring a stable resource pool for the future.

s e r v i c e s

The types of services OSL Systems Engineering section offers include:• Electronic Signalling Systems Testing and Commissioning• Electronic Signalling Systems Testing and

Commissioning Management including Systems TiCs (Mod 1E)

• System Engineering consultancy and bid support• Systems Interface management and integration • Systems GRIP 1-4 Development• Electronic Signalling Systems Design management• Electronic Signalling Systems design.

By utilising the existing OSL Signalling design team and working together with equipment suppliers, we are able to offer a complete Signalling systems design capability ranging from modifications to existing installed systems through to complete TD, TDM or other systems purchased from third party suppliers.
