2、Unit 15BASUnit 16标题八Unit15 Signal Objectives To understand what a signaling system is. To know the development of urban rail signaling. To understand the functions and importance of signaling. 标题八Unit15 Signal Class Hour2 hours标题八Unit15 Signal SentenceSection A Question: What can a metro signaling s

3、ystem do? Metro signaling is a complicated and amazing system.UK has a longer history of metro signaling than any other country. Metro signaling has similarities with railway signaling. To prevent any train delays, accidents, even casualties, it is important that a signaling system operated by a gro

4、up of well trained people. 标题八Unit15 Signal The most critical role that signals play in the metro system is to locate the whereabouts of trains and to protect trains from collisions. The most important components in a metro signal system are its electromechanical relays. If a metro signal fails, the

5、 signaling light will go to red and the train will stop until the failures are resolved. Most of metro signals have Green on top, Yellow in the middle and Red on the bottom.标题八Unit15 Signal DialogueSection B Question: What does a metro signaling system consist of? What is the relationship between si

6、gnaling system and ATC? Lin: Do you know how many systems are included in a metro signaling system and what they are? Peter: It contains six systems, moving block system, train testing system, automatic train protect system, automatic train operation system and automatic train supervising system. Li

7、n: What is the relationship between ATC and signaling system? Peter: ATC system has three subsystemsATO, ATP, and ATS. They are part of a metro signaling system, and ATC supports signal system and signaling system controls ATC.标题八Unit15 Signal Lin: That means metro signaling system has the same func

8、tions as ATC? Peter: Yes, It is not only safe for metro operation, but also convenient for passengers. Lin: Passengers can read the information display on the platform. Peter: You can learn what time next train will arrive, route and direction, etc. Also, some more information like weather report, r

9、oad conditions are available. Lin: How powerful the system is.标题八Unit15 Signal PassageSection c Question: Do you know what a metro signaling system is? Metro Signal Signaling and operation on metro system involves train control, train signal, signage and train length, etc. Today, metro train control

10、 is done by an Automatic Train Control system (ATC), which is a combination of three sub systems, ATO, ATP and ATS. ATP separates train, ATS routes trains, and ATO gathers information from both ATS and ATP to directly control the trains.标题八Unit15 Signal The metro signaling lights work just like traf

11、fic lights for cars. Red means stop, and green means advance. The signaling lights are automatically controlled by the location of the trains. As one of the trains moves along the track, it relays on the track to send the signal of its location to the lights. A red light stays on until a leading tra

12、in has moved a safe distance.标题八Unit15 Signal Before, metros ran four car and six car trains. However, there are no more four car trains used in the system after year 2000. Even eight car trains are in service nowadays. The train length decides the safe distance programmed in the metro signal system

The way this is done in the US

19、 (and most of Europe except Spain and Norway) is quite different compared with the UK. In the UK (and other countries using UK based systems), signals 标题八Unit15 Signal are designed to show the driver the state of the road ahead. For example, a signal will show that the line is clear ahead and will a

20、lso say how far ahead it is clear. The driver, using his knowledge of the line and of the train he is controlling, will make a judgment about how fast he can safely let his train go and will proceed accordingly. In the US, signals show drivers the speeds they are allowed to go. They do not actually

21、need to know how far ahead the line is clear. The speed they are allowed to do will depend on the type of train the driver is controlling.标题八Unit15 Signal ABS and Interlockings In the US, like the UK, signals are classified into two general types. In the UK they are referred to as automatic and cont

22、rolled, in the US they are known as Automatic Block Signals (ABS) and Interlocking signals respectively. The two classifications are similar in that automatic signals work without manual controls while controlled or interlocking signals usually cover junction areas and require some form of additiona

23、l controls operated by a signal tower (signal box in UK) or control room.标题八Unit15 Signal Overlap or Safety Block Another feature of US railroad signals is that they do not have the 200 yard overlaps that are normal in the UK. The usual method of providing a safety margin beyond a stop signal in the

24、 US is to allocate the whole of the next block as the overlap. This is similar to the principle adopted on metros which use ATP. Bi Directional Signaling Many US lines are equipped with full bi directional signaling. You will often see a block boundary with two signals, one facing in each direction.

25、 The signaling operates exactly the same, regardless of the direction of running.标题八Unit15 Signal US Signal Layouts A train passing along a signaled route will see an arrangement of signals which will appear somewhat as described in the following paragraphs. Every 2 miles or so the train will pass a

26、n Automatic Block Signal (ABS). All ABS signals for all tracks and both directions are located right next to the block entrance at the insulated rail joint (IRJ). So, as the engineer (driver) passes from block to block its almost like passing through a pane of glass. This is enhanced by the fact tha

27、t for the most part there isnt much along the wayside but at a block limit he will see signals, relay boxes and rail joints. 标题八Unit15 Signal OK, the engineer is passing block after block and all the signals have one head but then he gets to a block limit where the signal in his direction has two he

28、ads. These are the distant signals for an interlocking. They are still automatic and still retain a number plate that IDs them as automatic. After proceeding a little farther down the line the engineer reaches the interlocking entrance. Across all tracks, in his direction only, is a line of signals.

29、 These signals have two or three heads and no number plate, which IDs them as absolute (stop) signals. If there is a proceed indication, the train crosses the boundary defined by the IRJ and signals and enters the interlocking. The train then rumbles over the points, it passes the signal tower or re

30、lay shed, rumbles over some more points and 标题八Unit15 Signalreaches the “exit” signals. The exit signals actually have no bearing on this train what soever because they are all facing the opposite direction for incoming trains. The entrance signals not only govern the interlocking, but also the next

31、 block. However, the exit signals and associated IRJ define another boundary and, after the train completely passes this boundary, is it out of the interlocking, free of dispatcher control and under automatic signal rules. Note that, while any part of the train is between the Home (entrance and exit

32、) signals, it is working under interlocking rules. Once it crosses the boundary defined by the Home signals it is under rule 251 or 261 operation.标题八Unit15 Signal The train continues on to complete the same steps through each interlocking. Every so often a train will pass from one interlocking right

33、 into another (some interlockings also have sub interlockings that are completely independent). The first ABS limit the train reaches will be the distant for operation in the other direction.

34、To introduce the system of metro BAS. To understand the advantages of BAS.标题八Unit16 BASClass Hour2 hours标题八Unit16 BAS SentenceSection A Question: What is BAS? What is metro BAS? BAS(Building Automation System) is mainly used in commercial HVAC control systems and energy management system. BAS is not

35、 limited to just HVAC applications. It also has the ability to meter electricity, gas, water, steam, hot water, chilled water and fuel. BAS engineers select the proper HVAC control system and programs to control the various types of HVAC systems in different metro stations.标题八Unit16 BAS To be more e

36、ffective, the BAS system should be installed and tuned properly A building controlled by a BAS is often referred to as an intelligent building, a metro station controlled by a BAS can be referred to as a smart station. Many BAS can be accessed from any location with an internet connection.标题八Unit16

37、BAS DialogueSection B Question: What does a metro BAS consist of? (Trainer Lin is checking whether students still remember the knowledge learned in the last lesson.) Lin: Peter, what did we talk about last class? Peter: Its BAS. Lin: What is the full name of BAS? Peter: Its Building Automation Syste

38、m. Lin: Can you tell me its basic components? Peter: It has four basic parts, big system, small system, water system and tunnel ventilation system.标题八Unit16 BAS Lin: What is the difference between big system and small system? Peter: A ventilation and air conditioning system in a public station area

39、is called big system, the system in a station equipment house is called small system. Lin: How does BAS work? Peter: There are many sensors connected to each system. The sensors measure their surrounding environment from different locations, then collect physical data and send them to the BAS comput

40、er. BAS computer will calculate and analyze the data to control the whole system. Lin: That is correct. Good job, Peter. Next time we are going to talk about FAS.标题八Unit16 BAS PassageSection C Question: Do you know the functions and advantages having BAS in a metro system? BAS BAS(Building Automatio

41、n System) itself is an energy and comfort management system. It integrates the different systems in a building like HVAC, lighting, vertical transportation, fire safety and security in order to provide coordinated control of the buildings functions. BAS in a metro station can control the station tem

42、perature to maximize energy savings, providing optimum comfort and safety for passengers.标题八Unit16 BAS BAS joins mechanical and electrical systems and equipment with microprocessors, communicating with each other. In a fire emergency, a BAS can respond quickly to control the ventilation system to mi

43、nimize the spread of smoke. It also coordinates all of the functions in a metro, such as shuting down elevators in the affected area, activating fire suppression system in the fire location, and opening security and emergency doors for passengers and emergency personnel. BAS should offer the ability

44、 to send alarms via email and telephone to alert station masters or engineers of system problems and failures.标题八Unit16 BAS commercial kml n. 商业广告 adj. 商业的；营利的；靠广告收入的 tune tjun n. 曲调；和谐；心情 v 调整；使一致；调音 intelligent nteldnt adj. 智能的；聪明的；理解力强的 access kses n. 进入；使用权；通路 v. 使用；存取；接近 physical fzkl n. 体格检查 a

47、ere, is the reliable comfort of air conditioned metro cars. “It wasnt always like this,” Benjamin Kabak of the transit blog 2nd Ave. Sagas recently reminded us. In a great retrospective that deserves its annual bump to the front page, Kabak guides us through the “turbulent” history of how New York f

48、inally controlled the temperature on its metro trains.标题八Unit16 BAS Kabak brings the story back to 1955 and a trial run that fared pretty well. The citys transit authority outfitted a metro car with an air conditioning system and measured the temperature inside at 68 to 73 degrees. The authorities d

49、idnt pick the best day for such a testoutside it was just 62 degreesbut they declared their effort a success anyway. The air conditioned car was hotter than the city streets, but it was still about 15 degrees cooler than the other cars.标题八Unit16 BAS Still it wasnt until 1967 that the city found a lo

50、ng term solution to its air conditioning problem, with The New York Times calling the new cooling systems on the F train “a hit”. It would be many more years before the entire fleet caught up with the new standard. In the meantime riders employed various tricks to determine which cars on each train

51、carried the luxury. Some looked for a small grill on the roof of the car; others looked for closed windows.标题八Unit16 BAS Kabak leaves off in 1983, when only half of the citys metro cars were air conditioned, but the next decade saw enormous progress. By 1993 roughly 99 percent of New Yorks 6,000 met

52、ro cars were air conditionedwith 7 train riders the unlucky 1 percent. Today every car is temperature controlled and if its cooling system doesnt work then transit officials arent supposed to add it to a train. Of course sometimes they do, like when Mayor Bloomberg found himself in a sweltering car

53、back in August of 2002.标题八Unit16 BAS In fact many attempts to cool down New Yorks metro carsif not technically “air condition” themcame well before 1955. One early effort, from back in August of 1910, equipped an I.R.T. train with four electric ceiling fans. The fans were pretty modest devices, oper

54、ating at one twelfth of one horsepower, and even the superintendent in charge of the new system admitted to the Times that the effect was mostly psychological: “It isnt really any cooler. Were just stirring up the air. But you notice how much more comfortable it is. Now, there isnt any Christian Sci

55、ence about this. If you dont believe it, go into the next car, where there are no fans and feel the difference.”标题八Unit16 BAS The (eventual) success of New Yorks air conditioned cars came at a price metro riders are still paying today. The energy needed to run the cooling systems emits a great deal

56、of heat that gets trapped in the metro stations as trains idle for passengers. In other words, as metro cars have cooled down, metro platforms have heated up. “No question its a trade off having metro cars that are air conditioned,” one transit authority spokesman told the Times back in 1989.标题八Unit

57、16 BAS Schemesto cool down the stations themselves date back as far as schemes to cool down the cars. In June of 1905, for instance, the city installed a dozen basic office fans to ventilate the Brooklyn Bridge station. Riders welcomed the attempt, according to the Times, but the only thing it seeme

58、d to accomplish was to make the station darker, because lights had to be removed to provide the fans sufficient electricity. (In the same article a scientist calls the damp station air healthy because its “pregnant with ozone”, which was considered good for fighting malaria.)标题八Unit16 BAS A century

59、and change later the situation isnt much different. In August of 2009 WNYC took digital thermometers onto various platforms around the city and reported temperatures ranging from the upper 90s all the way to 106 when a train passed. (It didnt take long for reporter Beth Fertigs hair to start “lookin

60、g really frizzy”.) Even directly under a fan near the S train in Times Square the temperature was still a ripe 91 degrees. The coolest platforms were at Grand Central Stationchilled air is piped in from the main terminal abovewhich measured in at 87 degrees.标题八Unit16 BAS Other cities control the tem
