Objectives and competences
- Aim of this subject is to teach students to describe basics in railway safety and in transport process. They will list basic safety analysis and mathematical models for calculating safety and reliability. They will identify signal-safety devices in railway traffic process and differentiate the usage of signal safety devices. With support of simulation they will show the working principles of signal safety devices in real life.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Basic security and devices signaling concepts (mechanical, electromechanical, relay, electronic signal interlocking devices)
Theory of security and reliability of railway traffic
Security analysis
Mathematical models of security and reliability
Human influence on the security
Railway safety systems (basic elements and modules)
Train path security
Train control drive system
Level crossing security
Learning and teaching methods
Lecture and practice are foreseen, theoretically knowledge are examined with paper tests. Seminar work from concrete real example on signal safety devices is also foreseen to be done with software Opentrack.
