4 (TCCS) Generic Product Catalog Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Platform (T&IMP), collects, analyses and delivers all relevant data (measures, images, alarms and diagnostics) coming from WTMS & WIMS to Operators, who work remotely from the monitoring locations. Each of these systems detects specific measurements and associate this data with the corresponding train and vehicle and with the infrastructures installed along the railway line. This allows the Operators to identify, verify and take make decisions whenever the monitored parameters fall outside normal ranges. Integration of these systems enables Operators to make sense of the ever increasing amount of information from multiple systems, optimizing both human and technical resources usage. Historical data analysis supports maintenance planning. It is possible to predict the optimal timing of preventive maintenance on train and track equipment, by evaluating the frequency of components faults within a given period. Using T&IMP is possible to reduce maintenance costs by lowering the incidence of unnecessary service on vehicles. It also enables higher utilization and lower costs through scheduled maintenance. All this information is available to the Operators in a unique user friendly Operator Interface. T&IMP system has been developed with Web Services, which means that all the information is available to anyone within the railway network with an internet connection and with the appropriate client credentials. Main Features T&IMP is able to manage several WTMS & WIMS systems into one single control center, in which the many diagnostics systems deployed over hundreds of km of railway line are all integrated, with full command and control capabilities, in one single platform that supervises all these subsystems. T&IMP collects all data arriving from Wayside Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Systems regarding: Train approach and train exit from the site of installation of the WTMS & WIMS; Measurements collected from WTMS & WIMS systems; Alarms generated from WTMS & WIMS systems; RFID Identification of train vehicles (if any); Diagnostic state of WTMS & WIMS equipments; Intelligent Maintenance through statistics and trend analysis. Advantages T&IMP gives railways some advantages, as example: Increase the operational safety in terms of remote controlled interlocking and centralisation of operational control to compensate the missing human inspection of passing trains and infrastructures at stations. Increase the availability of the freight corridors. Preventive recognition of upcoming fault states allow immediate interaction and thereby increasing quality of transport due to less disturbances of traffic flow. Improved maintenance through the use of measured data. This requires a well-established information storage and distribution platform to provide reliable data to potential user groups.

5 Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Platform (T&IMP) Architecture of T&IMP T&IMP has a modular architecture, so that other WTMS & WIMS systems can be added at a later date. T&IMP architecture is mainly composed by the following components: WTMS & WIMS: Wayside Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Systems, as example in the figure along the railway line has been installed Train Conformity Check System, Weigh In Motion, Hot Axle Bearing Detector, Acoustic Bearing Detector, Rail Heat Temperature etc. Management Cabinet: is the cabinet which has the racks which manage and process the information coming from WTMS & WIMS sensors. T&IMP-SI: receives all the information coming from WTMS & WIMS (measurements, diagnostics, etc), processes this information and produces normalised data. It also correlates measurements and diagnostic information to each train, vehicle and axle and for each type of infrastructure. T&IMP-SI module gives an important advantage, it increases the modularity of the whole system: it is possible to add one or more wayside train or infrastructure monitoring systems whenever required, providing new functionalities to the whole system. T&IMP-SI could be installed in the Control Centre and/or in the Railway Line. In particular: in the Control Centre if all WTMS & WIMS installed near management cabinets are standalone; in the Railway Line if there are more than one WTMS & WIMS installed near the management cabinet, and there is only one management cabinet with WTMS & WIMS; in the Control Centre and in the Railway Line if there are several WTMS & WIMS distributed in the railway line and there are several WTMS & WIMS installed near management cabinets. T&IMP: store data coming from T&IMP-SI and display to Operators in an user friendly HMI. Intelligent Maintenance System: collects all processed information from the T&IMP-SI and applies statistical processing algorithms. This data analysis gives information to support preventive and predictive maintenance, improving maintenance planning. T&IMP platform is open to integrate pre-existing WTMS & WIMS systems.

6 Generic Product Catalog Glossary Wayside Train Monitoring Systems (WTMS) WTMS are technological systems installed at selected places along the track to perform measurements and checks on the moving rolling stock. The term wayside indicates that these systems are mounted at the side of the track (in some cases at or beneath or below the rails) and not on board. Currently in the market there are some wayside monitoring systems used to monitor the train, the more used technology is HBD (Hot Box Detector), this technology is used by most railways to prevent derailments from axle bearings failure. HBD themselves have been extended to include the temperature monitoring of other components, notably of wheel flange and brake disks. Some of the most recent products of this type are fully integrated into a hollow steel sleeper. Additionally to overheating alarms (failing bearing, sliding wheel, brake disk overheating) it is possible to have cold wheel alarms (an abnormally cold wheel, especially following a descent indicates a corresponding brake malfunctioning). Several Trackside Acoustic Detectors (TADs) have been installed to provide an earlier alarm for a large fraction of bearings that would later trigger an HBD. WILD systems (Wheel Impact Load Detectors) are installed to detect wheel defects such as out-of-round, flats, and other wheels tread defects that cause intense dynamic force peaks on the railhead. Quasi-static wheel load is also measured to compute axle load, vehicle load and unbalancing (lateral and longitudinal). The WILD function is associated to the wheel weighing function in some systems while others are dedicated to one function only. The main driver for their installation is often the cost reduction from decreasing track wear. Other systems are available to measure lateral wheel-rail forces with the principal scope of detecting excessive truck oscillations and wheel hunting (also occurring at a straight track) or to record (together with other parameters) lateral force at a curve. Wheel Profile Monitoring systems (WPMS) based on optical technologies are used to improve safety and to reduce costs on account of wheel defects detection and, as a consequence, of decreased wear of the tracks. Relatively simple and low-cost Derailed Wheel Detectors (DWD) are installed by several infrastructure managers to detect derailed wheel sets and dragging items in running trains. Diverse detectors based on optical technologies are instead installed to detect low hanging items such as irregular brake hoses. One or more different defects of pantographs are detected by dedicated wayside systems. Some of them recognise geometrical abnormalities of the bow and hazardous wear of the contact strip (generally by image processing) to prevent accidents with catenary de-wiring while others measure the force on the contact line by the measurement of its uplift (and a correction for cross wind speed) to reduce contact line wear. The interest is growing about a family of diagnostic systems to detect a number of defects such as brake shoe irregularities (broken or excessively worn shoe), friction wedge wear, deformed catwalks and stairs, leaning brake wheels, etc. which can be visually identified. Different optical systems have been developed to detect violations of profile limits (loading gauge, constructive profile limit, combined transports profiles, etc.) in passing trains to prevent collisions with the infrastructure and with other trains and to recognise the presence of unfastened loads 6 All Rights Reserved.

7 Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Platform (T&IMP) which have moved and could fall on the track. Some of these systems are also capable of additional 3D analysis function to detect e.g. open doors or hatches even if these may not be hanging outside the profile limits. The wayside detection of fire on board of trains is of particular interest for the prevention of major accidents in very long tunnels and is currently possible by systems based on thermographic scanning of the rolling stock surface and, alternatively, by detecting combustion products (CO and CO 2 ) inside of a tunnel even of short length. The use of appropriate gas analysers at such short tunnels allows detecting the leakage of toxic or flammable hazmat such as: chlorine, ammonia, propane, etc. from freight trains. Most of the systems mentioned above are compatible with open line train speed, at least for freight trains and, in the special case of dynamic phenomena to be detected such as dynamic wheel load and hunting, a minimum speed of a few tens km/h is necessary for functioning. There are however systems which require a quite low maximum train speed, such as certain products to record wheel tread profile and the recent systems for Automated Wheel Crack Detection. deformation, especially when these sites are far from regularly manned locations. Moreover, sensors to measure the rail neutral temperature are used for monitoring the structural integrity and for tracking deformations at railway structures such as tunnels, bridges and viaducts. Some sensors are used to monitor landslides and new ones are being subject of research too. Meteorological sensors and seismic sensors are a special case since their measurements are not carried out on the infrastructure in a strict sense. Their use is however important and growing, particularly concerning wind measurement due to the safety issue of intense cross wind effect on running trains, especially at high speeds. Wayside Infrastructure Monitoring Systems (WIMS) Wayside infrastructure monitoring systems are not yet very widely used but, like WTMSs, their use is currently fast growing and the range of commercial products is expanding. Local measurements of the rail temperature is commonly used in some countries where excessively high temperatures may cause rail deformations due to thermal expansion, as an alternative to manual inspection with hand thermometers by railway personnel. Still in relation to temperature and rail tension a few products have been developed to measure the rail neutral temperature (e.g. by strain gauges). They are used to remote monitoring the track lengths which are known to be more prone to neutral temperature change or to rails In the same way, sensors are used to detect the presence of objects fallen in the infrastructures as bridges, viaducts, tunnels, etc. Switches have long been and are still the subject of research to improve their reliability and to perform condition-based or predictive maintenance based on remote monitoring. Particularly, the interest is growing for simple monitoring solutions that may be fitted to existing assets, such as the monitoring of the electrical current transient while switching occurs. 7

8 Generic Product Catalog Installation sites The installation sites can be of two types: Single site: site where it is installed one wayside train or infrastructure monitoring system, Supersite: site where are installed several WTMS & WIMS, and, It could be two types of architectures: Centralised, Multilevel.

9 Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Platform (T&IMP) Intelligent Maintenance System The Intelligent maintenance system (IMS) collects and analyses information coming from the various WTMS & WIMS (TCCS, WIM, WILD, HABD/HWD, RHT, WMS, ABD, etc) via the T&IMP-SI. This information is collected over a period of time and analysed for use in predictive condition monitoring, allowing improvements in maintenance planning. Constant monitoring allows to reduce the number of failures of trains and infrastructures which both increases track availability, and reduces maintenance costs. This is done using analysed data to reduce the frequency of unnecessary maintenance on vehicles and infrastructures. Using the HMI, the Operators can query the system to investigate the performance of the trains, vehicles, and components that are monitored by WTMS & WIMS. The statistical analysis is performed using: Filters: queries that define the kind of analysis to be done; Fields: category of the item over analysis (train, vehicle, component); Values: parameters that define the statistical drafts based on the filter chosen (weight, temperature, etc.); Graphs: statistical diagrams (pies, histograms, etc.) shown based on the filters, fields and values chosen. The system develop regularly reports (time defined with the Customer), or the Operator can access to the system and create an ad-hoc report. The system allows different kinds of Operators to be configured such as Standard Operator (view the information using default filters) and a Specialised Operator who can create new filters. HMI has been developed using web services, so the Operator can access to it via a browser via the network. IMS is a comprehensive business intelligence and analytics platform that includes functions such as: Ad hoc queries: Providing Operators with an ad hoc query and analysis capability; Operators can create new analyses, or modify existing analyses in Dashboard pages. Notifications and alerts: IMS is a multi step alert engine that can trigger workflows and determine maintenance alerts based on current real-time situations, or detection of over-thresholds values. Interactive dashboards: Operators can drill, pivot, and filter data directly via the dashboard, allowing more detailed functions by right-click menu. Operators see information filtered and personalised based on their identity, function, or role, based on predefined security rules. Alerts, guided navigation links, and actions accelerate comprehension of the situation. Users can also perform other functions such as exporting their data to various Office formats, opening a strategy map, or adding content to a list of favorites for quick access. Enterprise reporting: this functionality allows the creation of highly formatted templates, reports, and documents such as flash reports, checks, and others. Mobile analytics: Operators can use the IMS Mobile application on their smart phones and tablets to access and analyze information delivered by IMS in a secure manner. 100,00% % Alarmed Transits 80,00% 60,00% 40,00% 20,00% Brake disk Battery Static Converter 0,00% Component Number of Alarmed Transits % Alarmed Transits Brake disk % Battery % Static Converter % Monthly statistical analysis of the alarmed trains based on the components monitored by UTA 9

10 Generic Product Catalog Software The technological approach used for implementing the T&IMP is to develope efficient and specialised modules for the acquisition (WTIMS) part and general modules for the integration. The HMI interface has been developed to be dynamic and usable from a work-station with only the browser installed. T&IMP computers are in redundant configuration feature allowing the T&IMP to operate in cluster Active/ Passive configuration. In case of failure of one of them, will disable the failing one and will enable the other one transparently and efficiently. Data Base in Cluster Rack configuration allows the system to run a service in high reliability. Disk units subject to mirroring are fitted with a mechanism suitable to replicate information, which ensures high reliability and availability level of mass storage units and of the data they contain. The Software has been developed in accordance with European Standard EN 50128, using open protocols. The system has been developed with Web Services, which means that all the information is available to anyone with an internet connection within the railway network and with the appropriate client credentials. No limits whatsoever. Functional process The main components of the T&IMP functional process are the following: Integration module (of WTMS & WIMS in single sites): WTMS & WIMS are installed in the different sites. WTMS & WIMS are composed for sensors and controllers, controllers has the function of integration module, matching vehicle ID (acquired from RFID) with alarms/measurements detected of train transits. Integration module (in Supersites): This is the software module directly interfaced with all WTMS & WIMS installed in a peripheral site. Integration module is responsible for collecting all monitoring data, alarms and diagnostics from WTMS & WIMS, performing further elaboration of correlating data among specific sub-systems and providing a synthesis to the Data Management Module. Data Management Module: The core part of the T&IMP which collects data from all peripheral locations and stores them in the database. Database (DB): Database where the T&IMP stores monitoring data coming from different sites. Operator Interface: Operator Interface presents information as train composition, collected alarms and WTMS & WIMS specific data. The interface is usable by a Browser with any software installed on it. The Operator Interface is usable on a generic workstation with a browser without the presence of any software installed related to site Information. Software Attributes The application software of the T&IMP has been developed in compliance with portability, interoperability, scalability and compatibility requirements. Reliability: Software has been designed to manage abnormal conditions without generating stall conditions. Usability: The T&IMP is provided with an Operator Interface designed to allow friendly use of the system itself without requiring to memorize rules, abbreviations or mnemonic commands. Maintanability: Maintainability quality requirements can be defined as follows: Analysability: software has been designed to minimise the effort required for troubleshooting (defect or failure cause diagnostic and identification of the parts to modify). Testability: max simplicity in testing and validating the software further to any modifications implemented to it. Modificability: friendly modification and removal of defects and minimisation of the effort required to adjust the software to operating environment changes. Stability: minimisation of the risk that software modifications could produce unacceptable effects. Portability: Software has been developed in Java (JAVA Virtual Machine portable with respect to the platform) in order to be used in different environments in which the Java Virtual Machine has been installed. Software makes use of Java portability thus making it possible to implement Operator Interface via applets in the Web pages destined to be displayed by different browsers run on completely different machines. Some parts were developed in C for specific parts requiring high performance Modularity: Software has been designed according to top modularity criteria. Configurability and Scalability: The software of the T&IMP is data-oriented; this provides for application configurability and verifiability procedures. The architecture offers great flexibility in the allocation of processes to one or more machines in the network, permitting growth both in terms of data handled and functions. Interoperability: Interoperability within the T&IMP is guaranteed by the adoption of standard communication protocols and technologies. 10 All Rights Reserved.

11 Train and Infrastructure Monitoring Platform (T&IMP) Alarm management Alarms can be graded to their relevance and criticality. The thresholds are completely configurable and it can be modified wherever time. All the modifies to the configuration system are registered in protected log files and these can be consulted only by authorised personnel. T&IMP provides two different data/events types: Diagnostics alarm/status: alarms and events coming from the diagnostics of the good functioning of the equipments of the WTMS & WIMS, these events are identified by unique code and time stamped with 10 milliseconds accuracy or better. Functional alarms/measurements: alarms and measurements coming from WTMS & WIMS due to the monitoring of they over the Trains and the Infrastructures. The alarms and measurements are displayed to Operators, alarms/data are showed related to a specific transit, these events/alarms are identified by a unique code related to the whole transit, which is time stamped with 1 second accuracy. Information provided from a WTMS or WIMS can be of three types: Measurement, contain numerical information; State, contain the operating status (eg OK, warning, alarm); Alarm, contain a summary on the presence or absence of alarm. The WIMS produce monitoring information with a frequency of periodic or event (for example alarm detected or indented). Interface with other systems T&IMP can be interfaced with another systems, as example: Train Control System (TCS): Measurements, alarms and diagnostic data coming from WTMS & WIMS is sent to TCS; Signalling Control System (SCS): HWD, HABD and DED data is sent to the SCS; Radio Block Centre (RBC): The alarms generated by Wheel Impact Load Detection, Hot Axle Bearing Detection and Hot Wheel Detection systems are sent to RBC via TMS. The RBC informs the Train Driver about the alarms received; SCADA: Measurements, alarms and diagnostic data coming from WTMS & WIMS is sent to SCADA; Maintenance Management Information System (MMIS): Measurements, alarms and diagnostic data coming from WTMS & WIMS is sent to MMIS. 11

12 Generic Product Catalog Operator Interface (HMI) The Operator Interface is a web service based interface. The T&IMP server acts as web server and so any authorised Operator can access it using a standard browser. The Operator Interface collects all information, diagnostics and alarms coming from various WTMS & WIMS installed along the railway line displaying and showing them to Operators at the Control centre so that they can take appropriate actions. All information provided to the Operator is shown by train and by infrastructure. The Operator Interface performs the following functions: Highlights any alarm with a visual and acoustic (if required) warning signal; Displays alarm details; Manages alarm recognition; Keeps a record of the Operator activities; Stores alarm information; Displays a list of past and present transits with detailed data (including images whenever provided by the relevant sensor); Displays the system diagnostic status (for each subsystem); Allows the activation/deactivation of each subsystem; Display information and give reports of statistics and trend analysis. The system authenticates an operator using Username and Password. The authentication provides different operator profiles, e.g.: view only operator (in this case the operator can only perform alarm recognition) or System Administrator. A System Administrator typically sets the authentication and profile for all other operators. In order for an Operator to visualise the information concerning a particular transit or a particular infrastructure, the Operator first of all has to select a transit from the list or an infrastructure. Alternatively, the Operator can perform a search on a time basis in the system database. If in the railway network are present Supersites, the T&IMP provides 2 level of management of information: A global level, with Operators able to monitor the entire rail network; A Site level with Operators able to manage only the details of a single site of the rail network. In the Control Centre, in a global level, a high level map of the rail network is shown with the installation sites of WTMS & WIMS positioned in various points of the map. For each site on the map information is provided about its diagnostic state as well as generic information about transits and site infrastructures, alarms and alarm management. The Operator can choose a single site in order to visualize the list of trains that have passed through and site infrastructures. The site level interface displays detailed information about transits, infrastructures, monitoring data, images and alarms. Alarm Management is possible as well as diagnostics monitoring of each WTMS & WIMS. A train, or rather, a transit, is uniquely identified by the system by the following information: site; track; time. An infrastructure is identified by the installation site.

14 Generic Product Catalog WTMS integrated in the T&IMP Train Conformity Check System (TCCS) TCCS (Train Conformity Check System) is aimed at detecting automatically irregular conditions affecting the rolling stocks in transit. Main Features TCCS system analyses the data acquired from its subsystems to detect possible defects and hazardous conditions such as: violation of three-dimensional profile limits; overheating of rolling stock components; fire on board; high resolution images to verify the failures (the system selects and highlights specific critical). TCCS system implements the detecting functions on the trains in transit over the Measure Zone in which are installed the acquisition and monitoring devices, on both tracks and in both directions. TCCS can however be configured for operating partially (unidirectional/bidirectional). TCCS communicates any abnormal condition to the Operators present in the Control Centre, thus allowing them to adopt immediate countermeasures. TCCS is also preset for sending alarms to signalling system in order to stop the train automatically.
