Study Notes

Site Acceptance Test Scheme for Stationary KAVACH (IRATP) Application Logic for Version 4.0

The document outlines the procedure for Site Acceptance Testing of Stationary KAVACH using Onboard KAVACH and Onboard KAVACH Simulator.
The objective of the test procedure is to verify the following in sequence:
- Verification of all Field inputs (Relay/EI Interface)
- Verification of Redundant Communication for GPS, GSM, Radio Modems, RIU, ASVK, TSRMS, and Electronic Interlocking (EI)
- Verification of Signal aspect linking and Signal naming correspondence
- Verification through real train testing
- Verification of Maximum number of KAVACH equipped trains to be handled by the test Stationary KAVACH

Pre-requisites for Site Acceptance Testing

The following are to be ensured prior to start of SAT for Stationary KAVACH:
- Approved RFID tag layout, RFID Tag data, KAVACH Table of Control, and KAVACH track profile table

Verification of Redundant Communication

Verification of redundant communication is to be done for:
- GPS
- GSM
- Radio Modems
- RIU
- ASVK (Adjacent Stationary Vital KAVACH)
- TSRMS (Temporary Speed Restriction Management System)
- Electronic Interlocking (EI)

Verification of Field Inputs

Electronic Interlocking and KAVACH NMS time difference shall be noted before relay events testing
There shall be no difference ideally

Verification of Signal Correspondence

The deregistration time-out shall be made to 5-10 seconds as feasible in Stationary KAVACH to save on time
The tests are to be carried out based on the routes of the approved ToC
The virtual simulator shall have provision to select the routes or entry-exit signal
The loco speed shall be raised and the first two tags in the route before entry signal shall be read automatically and train shall stop in front of the entry signal

Installation and Connectivity

Installation of Stationary KAVACH equipment and all its associated sub-assemblies and interfaces is complete
Field Input Relay wiring is completed and Bell test copy is available
Copy of approved circuits integrated with station circuits shall be available
All RFIDs are installed in the section under test before carrying out tests
Installation of Radio Tower, antennae, antenna cables, tower box is complete
Power wiring for the entire equipment including relays, radios, and aviation lamp is completed
RSSI and OHE mast survey is complete
Adjacent Stationary KAVACH connectivity is established on redundant vital network
TSRMS connectivity is established on redundant vital network, if TSR is to be tested
RIU wiring is complete
SMOCIP is installed
NMS details are programmed and connected to the test Stationary KAVACH

Other Tests

LC Gate information testing: If any level crossing gate is available in the route, the same shall be tested and tabulated
Train length measurement testing: These tests are aimed to check whether train length is updated properly after every block section entry
KAVACH Unusual Stoppage in Block section test reports: This SoS will not be generated in Station Section
Manual SoS Generation from Stationary KAVACH test reports: This test is to verify the manual generation of SoS from Stationary KAVACH
