📌 As railway signalling engineers, our primary objective is to ensure the safety of your train journey by maintaining a safe distance between trains. ✅ The specific methods we employ may vary depending on the type of signalling system in use, such as lineside signalling, in-cab signalling, moving block, or fixed block. ● Lineside signalling refers to the traditional method of using signals placed along the trackside to communicate information to train drivers. ●In-cab signalling involves transmitting signals/messages/movement authorities directly to the train's cab, enabling the driver to receive real-time information about the track ahead. ✅ Moving block and fixed block systems are two approaches to railway signalling: ● In moving block systems, trains are equipped with advanced communication and positioning technology, allowing for more precise control over train spacing. ● Fixed block systems rely on predetermined sections of track, known as blocks, where only one train is allowed at a time. © Unknown -- ➡️ I created #AmineA to track my previous posts ➡️ If you want to be notified when I post, visit my profile and then tap the subscription bell 🔔 ➡️ Learn more about railways via All Things Railways 🚂📩 Newsletter (link: https://bit.ly/3BtguZD) #technology #engineering #transport #rail #railway #future #creativity #construction #futurism

Why is fiber optic used? Introduction In the modern era of railway transportation, communication systems are the backbone of operations, ensuring the safe and timely movement of trains. The advent of fiber optic cables has brought about a significant transformation in railway communication networks. These cables, made from strands of glass fibers, transmit data at the speed of light, providing a leap forward in communication technology. High-Speed Data Transmission One of the primary benefits of fiber optic cables is their ability to transmit data at incredibly high speeds. This is crucial for railways, where real-time communication is essential for the coordination of train movements. Fiber optics offer a bandwidth that is several magnitudes higher than traditional copper cables, allowing for the rapid transfer of large volumes of data across vast distances without degradation. Enhanced Safety and Reliability Railway safety is paramount, and fiber optic cables contribute significantly to this aspect. They are immune to electromagnetic interference, which can disrupt communication in copper cables. This immunity ensures that signals and communications remain clear and uninterrupted, reducing the risk of miscommunication and potential accidents. Moreover, fiber optics do not carry electric current, eliminating the risk of sparks that could lead to fires, especially in tunnels and other enclosed spaces. Durability and Maintenance Fiber optic cables are more durable and require less maintenance compared to traditional cables. They are resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and moisture, which can affect the performance of copper cables. This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime for repairs, ensuring that railway communication networks remain operational with minimal disruption. Future-Proofing the Railway Network As the demand for data grows with the introduction of new technologies like communication-based train control (CBTC) and passenger information systems, fiber optic cables are well-equipped to handle this increase. Their high capacity allows for future expansions and upgrades without the need for extensive overhauls of the railway communication. #Rail #Railway #ALSTOM

Ever wondered how Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) power systems came to be? Let's take a quick look at the fascinating history behind 6.6 Amps and 20 Amps circuits! 💡 🚂 Engineers initially borrowed 200W - 30V front lamps from locomotives for AGL applications, giving birth to 6.6 Amps circuits. However, for low visibility conditions, high-intensity approach lights, especially red barrettes and threshold lights, needed more power: the bulb was emitting white light, passing through red or green absorption filters. Quite energy-consuming!⚡The existing bulbs found suitable for that were ~ 500W-24V-20A. These powerful lamps led to the development of 20 Amps circuits, which in some airports still coexist with 6.6 Amps circuits to this day. CCRs also had to deliver higher capacities, reaching capacities of up to 70 kW for high intensity AGL systems. 🌟 For safety reasons, the preferred solution was to increase amperage up to 20 Amp, and not voltage in the primary circuits: for biggest approach circuit loads, using 6.6 Amps would mean the CCR would feed the circuit with more than 10 000 volts! 😮 ! Nowadays, an AXON Approach Centreline light is 29 VA. What a huge energy saving compared to the former incandescent lights! However, history repeats itself: The lights used determine the power system. For LED circuits we witness an overall downsize of traditional CCRs and the emergence of new power systems like the 2 Amp APS or the DPS! This current value is also closer to the maximum input current of these LED. As professionals in AGL, let's appreciate this rich history and continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in airfield lighting! ✈️💼 #AGLhistory #airfieldlighting #innovation #ADBSAFEGATE

Railway Signaling system with Rail Points Olden days memories of Railways "Bell Crank Lever" type mechanism was used to operate by hands and smoot function. Forging
+68K | Train Control & Signalling Consultant at SYSTRA | Top 1% LinkedIn Rail Transportation Industry SSI
Mechanical railway signalling systems depend on lever frames as a fundamental component of their operation. These lever frames serve in interlocking various elements of the signaling infrastructure, including signals, track locks, and points. Their primary purpose is to ensure the safe and coordinated movement of trains within the area under the signals' jurisdiction. Typically situated within the signal box, these levers can be operated by either the signalman or the pointsman, depending on the specific configuration and needs of the railway network.

Record-breaking track monitoring programme contributes to faster Amsterdam – Berlin travel Travel time between Amsterdam and Berlin is set be cut by 30 minutes from December. This will require heavier locomotives that can run on both the Dutch (1500 V) and German (15000 V) power supply. 🚆 Concerns relating to possible movement of the clay-rich soils on certain stretches have led to a decision to install a Senceive wireless monitoring system to measure movement and ensure passenger safety. 📈 A record-breaking 3,622 tilt meters have been installed near Twente - the largest number of track sensors installed at once in Europe. 👏 ProRail engineers will have access to minute-by-minute updates and will get automated alerts in the event of track movements that are outside pre-defined thresholds. Further insight into changing ground conditions will come from inclinometers and extensometers installed in boreholes. Thank you to ProRail, Vialis, Asset Insight, VolkerRail and Hyrde for trusting Senceive wireless monitoring with this important #rail #monitoring project.
