Automatic Train Protection Alstom Automatic Train Protection (ATP) equipment is a safety system that supervises: • Train speed against permitted train and line speeds • Braking on the approach to speed restrictions, signals at danger and buffer stops Alstom ATP provides information, warns if braking is required and, if necessary, intervenes by making a full service brake application. The system will make an emergency brake application and bring the train to a stand if it detects the train has passed a signal at danger without authority. Alstom ATP will also make an emergency brake application if the train rolls away. Signalling Solutions is able to supply both trackside and trainborne ATP equipment

Signalling Solutions Limited (SSL) was formed in 2007 by combining the complementary signalling resources and products of Alstom Transport Information Solutions UK and Balfour Beatty Rail Projects. We lead the market in train control solutions, meeting customer requirements for design, installation, testing, commissioning and product support for signalling, power and telecommunications applications in the UK. We are now the sole route to market for signalling products and services from both companies in the UK and Ireland. We aim to be the preferred supplier of world class train control systems for the UK and Ireland.

High Voltage Impulse Track Circuits The track circuit is a fundamental component of the fail-safe system on railway networks as its main function is to detect, whatever the conditions, a train on a track. This function is carried out by Alstom’s High Voltage Impulse Track Circuit on more than thirty

Railway Industry – Motors for signalling applications

major railways in the world. HW Point Machines

The Alstom Type HW electrically operated; non- trailable, point machine is a well established product, extensively used on railways in the UK and world-wide. Its robust and high integrity design features include full locking and detection facilities and provide for ease of accessibility to all parts and speed of operational maintenance. Equally suitable for left or right hand layouts the HW will operate single or double ended points, double slips or movable switch diamonds, regardless of variations in switch fitting or weight of rail. The machine weighs 220 kg (485 lbs) - sturdier than light weight machines and a decided advantage over heavier machines when installation is required in remote or difficult areas. Fitted with two externally controlled heaters the machines can operate efficiently in a wide range of ambient temperatures. Point machines are now available fitted with plug couplers. External plug coupler parts should be ordered direct from BICC/ NRS.

SO Hydraulic Supplementary Drives The ALSTOM SO system is a range of hydraulic actuators, that provides positive point blade movement proportional to their position in the turnout. The system includes both back drives and swing nose frog drives (originally developed for the Italian market), to meet the requirement for various lengths of turnout, including high speed. Each individual drive contains its own integral lock and electrical lock detection to provide confirmation that the correct turnout geometry has been safely established. These locks and electrical detectors are sealed within the body of the drive to avoid contamination. Once an actuator is locked the hydraulic drive pressure is reduced to ambient. The system was specifically designed to provide zero maintenance for 15 years (or 500,000 operations). Existing cost of ownership >Page 1 Page 2-3 Page 4-5 Page 6-7 Page 8-9 Page 10-11 Page 12
