Compare and contrast TWO of the following methods of control that a signaller may use to operate a railway:

a) Written orders and verbal communication
b) Mechanical lever frames
c) Entrance-Exit type route-setting panels
d) Video display unit (VDU) based systems

In your response discuss the level of safety and degree of functionality that the systems being compared offer and the ergonomic (human factors) interface to the user. [20 marks]

Describe how the methods of control being compared are adaptable to infrastructure changes or changes to operating arrangements. [5 marks]

A signal at a busy junction has failed. The signaller answers the telephone and receives the following message: “Hello. I’m standing at your signal, can I pass it at danger ?”

a) What is wrong with this message ? [3 marks]

b) Identify the key requirements for ensuring the integrity of voice communication between train drivers and signallers. Describe a process or methodology which should be applied in order to satisfy these requirements. [10 marks]

(Note: you are not required to describe the procedure for passing a signal at danger.)

c) The maintainance team arrive on site to repair the signal. The repair work needs to take place in an area alongside the track where there is insufficient space to work safely whilst trains are running. To save time, the maintenance supervisor asks an inexperienced member of the team to make the necessary arrangements with the signaller. The team member is eager to help, but has received no training in railway operations and is unaware of the correct process.

What are the risks associated with this situation, and what should the signaller do ? [6 marks]

d) What are the key pieces of information which need to be communicated between the signaller and the maintainer? [6 marks]

Knowing that the day can be stressful enough for you without needing to worry about finding your way to somewhere new, if you want to check out anything to do with this centre with me beforehand (or even come over for a visit) to put your mind at ease, please let me know.

If you have been to the Bristol exam group, you will already be familar with the venue.

While refering IRSE Level Crossing Guide, I found out a question regarding the placement of SSRB, AWB and Strike in points for an ABCL Crossing.

I tried to solve the question and got stuck up while calculating the strike in points. I am here with attachng the solved part for reference.

Can anyone please help to solve the calculation of Strike in point position?

Thank you in Anticipation.

A station is provided with a centre turn back siding (130 metres long) beyond the island platform (150 metres long). The tip of the main line turnouts are 15 metres from the platform, and the Y point blade tips in the siding are a further 120 metres beyond.

Arrival headway is 150 seconds and the timetable requires every third train to enter the siding, change direction, cross to the other line to wait in the platform. It should then depart at the same time as the next train scheduled to reverse is ready to enter the siding.

The maximum speed is 85 km/h; speed through the turnouts is restricted to 20 km/h.
Braking is 0.85 m/s/s and acceleration is 0.5 in/s/s.
Platform dwell time is 25 seconds.
All trains are 120m long.

How long has the driver got to change ends?

I would like to post my attempt on the 2000 mainline layout.

Some points I would like to highlight are:

1. While the calculations suggest 3 aspect signalling can meet the headway requirements, the requisite movements specified for the layout, the junctions on the layout made 4 aspect the choice.

2. For adequate trapping protection for the up and down mainline, I made some changes to incorporate points at the end of the Bay and Siding. I am not sure if this is acceptable?

3. Single line working using One Train Working No Staff

4. Although not indicated in the plan, bi-directional running at Station D and at Junction C was necessary in order for trains especially Freight engines to turn around after coming from the Down Frieght Branch to get to B.

I have have included: 1) my workings on the signalling aspects required for the non-stopping and stopping headway and 2) the notes relevant to signalling the layout.

I would appreciate comments on attempt please.

Cheers
