The concept of IECC was developed at the Railway Technical Centre in Derby during the 1980s, and in particular the initial software for ARS and SSI.. A contract for the development of an operational standard system was let in January 1987 to CAP Group, including the supply of a complete system for Yoker (Glasgow) and the ARS for the Waterloo area.
Some of the railway press have referred to them as route operating centres [73] [note 5] and even regional operating centre. [ 74 ] [ 75 ] This issue is further clouded by Network Rail having another ROC, the Railway Operational Code [ 76 ] and the signalling industry in the United Kingdom having a Remote Override Control.
A general manager headed the Railway Electrification Organisation, established in Kolkata in 1959. In 1961, the Northern Railway zone electrification office (headed by an engineer-in-chief) was established in Allahabad for the electrification of the Mughalsarai–New Delhi section. Following the 1978 J. Raj Committee report, several ...
Centralized traffic control (CTC) is a form of railway signalling that originated in North America. CTC consolidates train routing decisions that were previously carried out by local signal operators or the train crews themselves.
The centre, along with 13 others, was proposed in 2011 in an effort by Network Rail to combine train control, signalling and level crossing operations. [ 2 ] [ note 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the project, 14 buildings would replace over 800 mechanical lever [ 5 ] and power signalling boxes with Integrated Electronic Control Centres (IECC) also being ...
Communications-based train control (CBTC) is a railway signaling system that uses telecommunications between the train and track equipment for traffic management and infrastructure control. CBTC allows a train's position to be known more accurately than with traditional signaling systems. This can make railway traffic management safer and more ...
The Advanced Train Management System is a train control system under development by Lockheed Martin for Australian Rail Track Corporation (). [1] [2] The ATMS uses Global Positioning System to locate and track the position of trains within the ARTC network. [3]
York Integrated Electronic Control Centre was a major signalling control centre on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) railway between London and Edinburgh. The centre also contained the Electrical Control Room (ECR) for the ECML, and adjoining branches as well as the LNE regional control office of Network Rail.
