Description

RSSB, on behalf of the GB rail industry, is seeking to carry out research to provide: •A greater understanding of the impact of railhead and wheelset contamination on the reliability of different types of track circuit; and the effects on risk and train service performance •An improved insight into the management and interlocking performance of track circuits •An improved understanding of the impact of operational planning and mitigations on reducing Wrong Side Track Circuit Failures (WSTCFs) RSSB is considering options (mechanisms) to undertaking the research. This Expression of Interest (EoI) invites interested parties to provide an overview on proposed approaches and available data to addressing the project's aims in order to influence the approach RSSB takes in this research.
