Study Notes
Communication Requirements for New Stations/Sections
- New stations/sections must follow the "Rules for opening of a Railway" for communication system planning.
- Communication systems should use underground OFC and Quad cable, and/or modern cellular communication (GSM-R/LTE) suitable for Train Traffic Control.
- Adequate capacity must be built in to meet safety requirements for block working, TAWD, BPAC, TCAS, emergency communication, and data communication for UTS, PRS, FOIS, COIS, Datalogger, SCADA, Control, VSS, and WiFi.
