Station Control Device
These devices are placed in a station and perform supervisory and control functions required for safe operation of the trains movement in the vicinity of a station. It has got a large number of automatic functions, such as
The Auto Control system consists of the following components for facilitate better rail control and operation:
- Continuous monitoring of train/vehicle movement in the station
area
- Communicating with the train/vehicles in the station area
- Informing the dangerous situations to the respective train/vehicles
in te station area and avoiding the collisions

- A GUI based user friendly Information system is part of these
devices. This GUI based system provide information for station
manager/supervising staff regarding the vehicle movements, alerts,
alarms, equipment failures, reports and commands from the Central
control room. The GUI based system is connected with a central
monitoring system (CMS) and exchange of information for safe
train/vehicle operation in the entire route. The GUI system also
receives commands from the CMS and act accordingly for safe and
smooth operations
- Provision for tracking the vehicle occupancy using Track Circuits
as an additional safety feature
Data Loggers
These devices are on-board units in train/vehicles. These devices are used for knowing status and behavior of equipments/ devices in the Train/ vehicles and further analysis the data for better operational performance. The logged parameters include train/ vehicle speed, vibrations, oscillations, power fluctuations, Braking devices, fire detection devices, door operation devices, etc. |
