- intermediate” level concepts are thoroughly revised before advancing to the “advanced” subjects
Course Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, the delegate will be able to describe and interpret the following:
- Perform Headway Calculations for stopping trains
- Calculate the effects of variable gradients upon signal spacing and achievable headway.
- Identify acceptable mitigations for under and over braking
- Identify acceptable aspect sequence transitions
- Specify controls for tunnel, closing-up and mid-platform signals
- Specify controls for distant and banner repeater signals
- Specify controls for complex junction signalling arrangements
- Specify controls for last wheel replacement
- Identify situations where duplicate copies of information may cause safety issue s
