SUMMARY:NSW Chapter Event: Rolling stock signalling interface\, compliance and compatibility testing
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE – NEW DATE: THURSDAY 2ND NOVEMBER \nOverview \nElectrified railways use running rails for three purposes: guiding the train\, providing a return path for traction currents\, and detecting trains. These purposes have coexisted since the early 1900s. However\, the introduction of electronic traction control in the 1970s and 3-phase inverter drives in the 1990s generated high levels of complex switching harmonics that threatened the safe operation of train detection. To address this issue\, railways developed standards to specify the limits of harmonics permissible in the traction return. Although rolling stock manufacturers have found ways to minimise the threat posed by electronic switching\, it is still necessary to test every new design of rolling stock entering the rail network to ensure that it is effectively detected by the signaling system and does not produce electrical noise that can interfere with the proper operation of the signaling system. Modern trains and rolling stock can cause electrical interference that disrupts signalling train detection systems and makes it difficult to detect short and light vehicles. This paper outlines the testing and assessment methods used by a major Australian rail organisation to ensure that all new rolling stock meets the requirements of signalling systems. \nLearning outcomes: \nIn this presentation you will learn: \n\nRolling stock signalling interfaces and how these systems are used effectively.\nReview of the standards and compliance required.\nCompatibility testing and the importance to effectively test all new designs\n\nEvent program\n5:30pm: Registrations open and networking\n6:00pm: Presentation commence with Q&A session\n7:00pm: Presentation concludes and further networking\n7:30pm: Event concludes \nAbout the speaker \nPaul Szacsvay\, Associate Principal Consultant\, SNC-Lavalin Australasia \nPaul is a signalling engineer and engineering manager with more than 50 years’ experience working with major government organisations.
