4 VRIOGS 012.7.15 Revision ASECTION 3.0SCOPE AND GENERAL3.1 ScopeThis Standard provides the minimum acceptance criteria for the design andmanufacture and supply of TPWS for use within the Victorian Railway Network.3.2 ApplicationUnless otherwise specified TPWS equipment shall be Type Approved by the AROand shall be designed, manufactured and supplied in accordance with thisspecification.3.3 BackgroundTPWS is a system that is designed to minimise the consequences of SPAD andoverspeeding. Track mounted TPWS transmitter loops produce a magnetic field atdefined frequencies which are detected by a receiver on the train. When thetrainborne TPWS receiver detects specific combinations of frequencies it will usethese to determine whether to initiate an automatic brake application.TPWS consists of a TSS to automatically apply the train’s brake should a train pass asignal at stop, and an OSS to automatically apply the brakes on a train which passesa fitted location above the Set Speed.3.4 Quality AssuranceThe manufacturer shall be accredited to the appropriate Australian Quality Standardsor recognised international equivalent if the manufacturer is based overseas.It is considered that the following are appropriate Australian Quality Standards:-- AS/ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems – Requirements- AS/ISO 9004 - Quality Management Systems – Guidelines for Performances3.5 Quality Assurance DocumentationQuality assurance documentation shall be in accordance with the requirements ofAustralian Quality Standard “Quality Management and Quality Assurance Standards”AS/ISO 9000.2 or recognised international equivalent if the manufacturer is basedoverseas.3.6 Advisory BulletinsThe Purchaser shall check and act upon any related manufacturer and ARO issuedproduct bulletins in order to ensure that they are aware of and action any safetyrelated concerns regarding TPWS.NOTE: This document is controlled only when viewed on the DOT Engineering Standards website.Any other copy of this document is uncontrolled, and the content may be inaccurate.
