1 Introduction1.1 Background to the ProjectRailCorp currently operates an analogue train radio system known as MetroNet for operationalcommunications between signallers and train drivers. This system has reached the end of itsserviceable life and requires replacement. The New South Wales Government and RailCorphave begun work on the implementation of a Digital Train Radio System (DTRS) which willreplace this analogue system and address a number of recommendations from the WaterfallSpecial Commission of Inquiry (WSCOI).The primary objectives of the DTRS project are to:• provide continuous radio coverage across 100% radio of RailCorp’s electrified network;• replace and improve on the current RailCorp MetroNet communications system;• provide a technology platform for future development of the automatic train protectionsystem (ATP); and• adopt best management and administrative practices while complying with the principles ofecologically sustainable development.The DTRS will provide secure and reliable voice and data communications via a GlobalSystems Mobile – Railway (GSM-R) platform. It will be used by train controllers, train drivers,train guards and signallers. The system is designed to allow for growth in both the size of thenetwork and the number of services using it. It will be compatible with communications systemsused by other users of the network, e.g. freight operators.The DTRS will provide 100% radio coverage along approximately 1455 kilometres of theRailCorp electrified network as well as in 66 tunnels covering approximately 70 kilometres andhas an expected design life of at least 15 years.The DTRS will include:• a main switching centre at a CBD location;• a geographically separated back-up switching centre at Homebush;• on-train equipment in approximately 675 train cabs;• about 250 base transceiver stations (BTS) as well as other base stations in tunnels;• approximately 65 dispatcher terminal units; and• capability to provide staff with handheld terminals.The DTRS will provide continuous coverage along the entire RailCorp electrified network for ontrainradios and permit at least 14 simultaneous voice calls from each base station.Page 7 of 64
