RAILWAY is a terrestrial-guided mass transport system. Sleepers is placed to preserve gauge between two rail tracks. Rectifier convert the AC power into DC power, which is then Trains move on their own (diesel traction) or through remotely Wheel loads are evenly distributed to the ballast by sleepers, fed directly to the local current rails or overhead wires for transmitted power (electrical traction) using steel wheels which are placed on top of it. distribution to trains, tolling on a dedicated steel guideway defined by two parallel tails. AC - A train electrification system that are typically favored Flat Footed Rails are rail sections with their fect rolled flat. for high-speed and long-distance trains. In 1836, Charles Vignoles designed this kind of rail. Buildings and Facilities provide passengers access to trains at introduces an artificial separation a particular location and includes the station, station platform, between trains by dividing the track into distinct blocks. Each escalators, elevators, and other facilities within stations and block represents a specific section of the track, and only one the depot. Points and Turnouts enable vehicles to be diverted from one train is allowed within each block at any given time. track to another and consist of a pair of switches and a crossing, connected by closure rails is arailway signaling system that makes use of the telecommunications between the systems play an essential role train and track equipment for traffic management and in providing a reliable and stable railway service - the system Standard gauge measures exactly 1,435 mm infrastructure control. is responsible for the distribution of power to rolling stock, facilities, and other railway support services. Limit of movement authority- This is the control information received by the train from the central system to determine how Earthworks refers to all aggregate constructions, whether far they are able to travel. Terminal Station - located at the end of the railway lines, but natural or man-made. It must be designed to ensure that the some are in the middle, where trains terminate their trips. It is rail corridor drains freely. Public Address Systems serve as the primary method for also usually located near the depot. Managing passenger movement and should be employed on platforms and other areas where passengers circulate to regulate their flow, aid in boarding trains, and facilitate Railway Fencing refers to the barriers or structures erected evacuations during emergencies. Connecting Station - One of the station classifications with along the railway lines to prevent unauthorized access onto the two or more connected stations within proximity of different tracks and to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and Closed Circuit Television is essential for control rooms and railway lines. vehicles. emergency services to monitor activities on the ground. It helps manage passenger flow and prevents overcrowding at stations. - One of the basic parts of Rolling Stock Bridges is a structure carrying a road, path, railroad, or canal Traction Lift as a car suspended by wire ropes from a sheave that is used in electrically powered rolling stocks that collects across a river, ravine, road, railroad, or other obstacle or grooved pulley at the other end of which is a counterweight. current from the overhead lines, electric third rails, etc. It is The lift is moved by a motor and reduction gear driving the either mounted on the roof of electric trains (pantograph) or sheave. fixed on the bogies (collector shoe) Tunnels are underground structures that are used for transport. It allows the transportation of freight and passengers or are used to transport utilities such as gas, water, or sewage or gas, Fixed Staircase or Escalator - In designing transportation for instance. infrastructure, ensuring smooth vertical circulation for passengers is crucial for efficiency, accessibility, and safety. When the change in levels within the infrastructure is 3.0m to The Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) uses Cut and 5.0 meters is applicable cover: Top-down method in the construction of its station. Depot are places where products, supplies, or machinery are The Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) are usin; kept and then distributed. They act as a transitional zone with a rate of approx. between areas of production and consumption. Ballast is a layer around and beneath the sleepers made of gravel, broken stone, or any other appropriate material that Railway Electrification is the process of providing electrical distributes the load from the sleepers to the formation power to trains for propulsion.
