11.3 CONTROL FOR THE ACCESS CONTROL AREAS.<br />
ROLLING STOCK <strong>PPP</strong> – DOUBLE DECK TRAINS<br />
MAINTENANCE FACILITY SPECIFICATION - ATTACHMENT 7<br />
ATTACHMENT 7 - SIGNAL FUNCTIONAL SPEC V7.DOC<br />
The switching of control of each of the Access Control Areas between <strong>RailCorp</strong> and <strong>PPP</strong><br />
Co. must be done in a safe manner and with the agreement of both the <strong>PPP</strong> Co and<br />
<strong>RailCorp</strong> signallers..<br />
Three “Access Control” switches (or electronic equivalent) are to be provided on the <strong>PPP</strong><br />
Co Yard Controller’s panel, one switch for each Access Control Area. The switches will<br />
allow the control of each Access Control Area to be changed from <strong>RailCorp</strong> to <strong>PPP</strong> Co. or<br />
vice versa.<br />
To ensure that the control of the interfaces is not changed by the <strong>PPP</strong> Co. Yard controller<br />
without the agreement of the relevant <strong>RailCorp</strong> signaller, a Release/Accept arrangement is<br />
to be provided. The signalling system must not allow a change of control without both the<br />
<strong>PPP</strong> Co Yard Controller and the relevant <strong>RailCorp</strong> signaller agreeing to the change and<br />
operating an appropriate input to the system. This Dual control functionality must be<br />
provided in a manner that meets the operational requirements in a safe and robust way but<br />
also minimises the changes to the existing signalling systems at Auburn and Granville.<br />
Indications showing the status of who has control of each Access Control Area must be<br />
provided on the <strong>PPP</strong> Co Yard Controller’s panel and on the relevant <strong>RailCorp</strong> signallers<br />
panels at Auburn or Granville.<br />
Additional indications are to be provided for each Access Control Area to show<br />
• that the <strong>PPP</strong> Co. Yard Controller has requested the <strong>RailCorp</strong> signaller to accept a<br />
change in control of the interface, or vice versa<br />
• that the relevant <strong>RailCorp</strong> signaller has agreed to the change and released the<br />
“Access Switch” allowing the change in control to occur , or vice versa<br />
These additional indications are to be displayed to both the <strong>PPP</strong> Co. Yard Controller and<br />
the relevant <strong>RailCorp</strong> signaller.<br />
Change of control for each Access Control Area can only occur when safe for train<br />
movements and points and signals are in the appropriate safe state.<br />
11.4 ACCESS CONTROL SWITCH OPERATION – IMPACT ON TRAIN OPERATIONS<br />
