12. CBTC: the technology of choice for signalling upgrades 1. Capacity improvements through shorter headway 2. Reduced risk of disruption through shadow testing 3. Higher availability 12 Re-signalling ▪ London Sub Surface Railway 4 lines of London Underground 172 km, 102 stations, 191 trains ▪ Madrid Lines 1 and 6 40km, 52 stations, 117 trains ▪ Bangkok BTS Skytrain 31km, 30 stations, 600,000 passengers per day ▪ Taipei Neihu–Muzha Line 15km, 24 stations, 28,400 pphpd Control Center Signals Train Detection Point Machines Object Controllers Leaky Feeder Radio Local ATS Inter- locking Local ATS Radio Block Center Inter- locking Radio Block Center Doppler Radar Tacho- generator DMI Onboard ATC Radio Radio Balise Balise Reader
13. Benefits of Communications-Based Train Control ▪ High-capacity lines ▪ Shorter headways, increased capability to recover from disruptions ▪ Higher availability ▪ Reduced wayside equipment ▪ More radio = less cables ▪ Low-maintenance components 13 ▪ High-performance ▪ Lower life-cycle cost ▪ Conveniently deployed on top of conventional signalling ▪ Shadow testing ▪ Re-signalling ▪ CBTC mature and suitable to a wide range of rail applications ▪ Many architectural and functional choices to fit operations ▪ Flexible CITYFLO and INTERFLO solutions to meet requirements CITYFLO and INTERFLO are trademarks of Bombardier Inc. or its subsidiaries.
