RAS90
Automatic train protection system RAS90 is an INDUSI PZB90 based ATP system.
It is designed in order to increase the safety of railway traffic. RAS90 system consists of central device RAS90, locomotive balise, track balises and signalling and operating elements located in the locomotive cabin.
- Track and locomotive balises encased in robust (fire, water, vibration resistant) casings
- Equipment compatible with other INDUSI track balise producers
- Decentralized architecture
- Minimum cable infrastructure – CAN BUS connectivity
- Configurable parametring of peripheral units
- Low life cycle costs
- Low initial investment
- High level of customization possibilities
- Project management (turn key solution)
Functionality
The main function of the system is to initiate automatic braking if the driver doesn’t comply with safety regulations. RAS90 is continuously monitoring the speed of the train and does not allow overspeeding at any point during the run. RAS90 can be additionally upgraded with various other functions like dead man’s system, train driver registration, event recording, speed monitoring, wheel lubrication and similar.
Safety
Track and locomotive balises are certified in TUV Rheinland according to EN norms 50121-3, 50121-4, and 50125-3. RAS90 is developed and certified according to EN 50155, EN 50121-3 and EN61373.
Maintenance
Although RAS90 is a microprocessor based high tech system, maintenance procedures are made to be as user friendly as possible. Fault diagnosis and system check are done via dedicated diagnostic application. Additionally, peripheral units have their own test devices – speed sensor is tested by SSTD testing unit and locomotive balise is tested by LMI18.
Connectivity
Connection to other systems on vehicle is achieved by isolated CAN bus. Connection to central diagnostic system (CENDIS) is realised through xG router or WiFi.
Analytics
REC90 is a module developed specifically for event recording and it can be used with PC application RAS90LiveViewer and RAS90Evaluator. All diagnostic data can be archived in ALTPRO central diagnostic system CENDIS.
