  1. 1. Flexible project management in highly regulated railway signaling projects

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Teresa Talio; [2023]
    Keywords : Signalling; Railway; System development; Systems Engineering; Lean Philosophy; Stage-Gate Process; Signalering; järnväg; systemutveckling; systemteknik; Lean-filosofi; Stage-gate-processen;

    Abstract : Railway is a complex system, with many components that are linked with one another. If a failure occurs in a sub-system, it can affect the functionality and the safety of the whole. Signalling represents a crucial component of the railway system because it ensures safety, and it can optimize capacity on the lines. READ MORE

  3. 2. Application of formal verification and validation on modern multi-functional signalling system

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Shamsul Arefin; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Demand for rail transport is increasing day by day. Rail is popular in public transport due to punctuality, regularity, and safety. However, we hear daily that rail traffic still has many problems to solve about incidents, near misses, and signal errors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Non-Conformity Management in a CENELEC Governed Project : Digital and Integrated Systems (D&IS), Alstom

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Nitin Jois; [2022]
    Keywords : Railway; Signalling; ERTMS; CENELEC; RequirementsEngineering; Requirements Change Management; SoftwareDevelopmentLife-CycleModels; ProcessOptimisation;

    Abstract : In the mid-1990s, the European Union started to implement a union-wide,standardised signalling system, called European Rail Traffic Management System(ERTMS). This thesis has been developed alongside and targeted for a developmentproject such as the ERTMS system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Artificial Intelligence applications for railway signalling

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Benjamin Smakic; [2021]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; AI; Machine Learning; ML; Computer Vision; railway signalling; ERTMS level 3; GPS; autonomous train operations; Artificiell Intelligens; Maskininlärning; datorseende; signalteknik; autonoma tåg; självkörande tåg.;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this Master Thesis is to investigate how front-facing, train-mounted cameras and Computer Vision, a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI), can be used to compensate for GPS inaccuracies. By using footage from track-recording cameras, Computer Vision can be utilized to determine the number of tracks and the track occupancy of the train, which would compensate GPS inaccuracies in the lateral positioning.

  6. 5. Life Cycle Cost of Smart Wayside Object Controller

    University essay from KTH/Spårfordon

    Author : Filipp Zarov; [2021]
    Keywords : railway signalling system; interlocking; hardware; Object Controller; Smart Wayside Object controller; Lifecycle Cost; renewable energy sources; järnvägssignalsystem; ställverk; hårdvara; Utdelar; SWOC; livscykelkostnad; förnybara energikällor;

    Abstract : In a regional railway signalling system, object controllers are the devices responsible for controlling Track Side Equipment and act as interfaces for TSE with the interlocking computer and the Traffic control system. However, associated cabling (signal and power cabling) and civil works pose a major capital investment and it is a source of significant Capital and Operational expenses, particularly in rural areas, where accessibility andconnectivity to power grid and to the interlocking are a problem.
