20 ATMS System Principles The Management Principle: ATMS provides tools and information to Network Controllers so they can manage trains in accordance with business priorities and the access level train operators have paid for. The Transparency Principle: ATMS enhances rail operations transparently without introducing artificial limitations to those operations. The Flexibility Principle: ATMS provides flexibility of operation especially in terms of train spacing and capacity that can be adjusted for special situations or future operations through changes to computer databases instead of physical infrastructure. The Situation Awareness Principle: ATMS provides situation awareness to network controllers and train drivers by consolidating and distributing information to enable safe and efficient operation. The So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable (SFAIRP) Principle: ATMS will provide for safe train operation So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable. The Wrongside Failure Principle: The ATMS wrongside failure rate shall be less than The Future Proof Principle: ATMS is designed to be future proof so that it can be maintained, modified and evolved as required to incorporate future technology and support the growing rail transport task. 24/04/

26 Applying System Principles The System Principles are applied in the design of ATMS to define the capabilities and characteristics of the system. Most notably, ATMS integrates functions normally separated into distinct train control, signalling and train protection functions. Four functions warrant specific notice. Train control normally provides a non-vital control function for a signalling system with minimal feedback from field elements. ATMS provides more comprehensive and timely information to train control most notably precise train location. Train detection is normally a field function using track circuits. ATMS provides an on-train, multi-sensor location determination system that provides accurate train location, permits removal of track circuits for train detection and removes the capacity constraints of fixed block signalling. Safe separation of trains is normally ensured by field-based interlocking which provides authority via coloured light signals. ATMS centralises the authority function removing the expense of field-based interlocking and creates flexibility to modify how authorities are issued when track infrastructure, operating practices or business needs require. Communications capabilities are traditionally provided by various combinations of proprietary voice radio, microwave links and land lines owned or leased by the network manager with significant capital investments. ATMS is built on the services of an open architecture, high performance digital communications network that provides upgrade paths to the future without further capital investments by the network manager. 24/04/

27 Summary The system principles and characteristics of ATMS are crafted to enable ARTC to meet the fundamental challenges facing the rail industry. The ability to gain market share of the freight transport task is pivotal to ARTC s business success. ARTC aims to do this by improving train service reliability, transit time and yield. The rail network will be stretched beyond its configuration capability to meet future demand unless it is able to break through its current operational paradigm that has essentially existed for the last 100 years. ARTC has closely been following the modern developments in train control technology. ARTC believes the next generation of train management technology is a key enabler in the development of its capability to meet future demand. The Advanced Train Management System is promoted as a means of meeting the challenge presented to ARTC and the Australian Rail Industry. It is a more cost effective and efficient way of creating saleable train paths and reliably operating trains on shorter safe headways, rather than the traditional practices of adding to, modifying or replacing existing systems. 24/04/
