Equipment Planning

The Rules and regulations of Deutsche Bahn AG states which elements have to be represented in the Signalling layout plan. It also defines which symbols to use and describes the labelling of the symbols. ProSig offers the complete required symbol catalog in libraries that are sorted by subject. In addition, standardized insert functions simplify the plan creation.

The Interlocking elements have complex relationships to each other, which are mapped in the interlocking station logic. The interactive EPU functions enable the required links to be created between the elements, the creation of area elements (e.g. Track Path) and the creation of logical objects (e.g. Track route).

The Equipment Planning comprises of the following steps:
 

•Defining the Interlocking Station Structure

•Defining Technical Attributes of Track Infrastructure

•Additional Technical Infrastructure Objects

•Specifying the Track Identifiers within Train Stations

•Insertion of Reference Points

•Insertion of Sensors

•Planning Level Crossings - Basic Data

•Insertion of Platforms

•Planning Signals

•Specifying Track Identifiers for Section Tracks

•Planning the Intermittent Train Control

•Planning Track Clearance

•Inserting FMA Feed-Ins and Feed-Outs

•Key/Lock Dependencies

•Planning the Block Systems

•Defining Local Control Area

•Defining Operating Units

•Planning Track Paths, Overlaps, Track Routes and Flank Protection

•Level Crossings - Dependencies and Activations
