SystematICS on Beijing Metro Line 5
12/12/2007
More success for Westinghouse Rail Systems Australia
Westinghouse Rail Systems Australia (WRSA) has reached an important milestone in its Beijing Metro Line 5 project with the commencement of passenger service. This is the first SystematICS based Integrated Supervisory Control System (ISCS) in Beijing and it is also the first in China to have an ISCS operational on day one with a passenger service.
The 27.6km Line 5 runs through the centre of Beijing from the northern to southern suburbs with trains running at 4 minute intervals. It provides a vital link with the existing lines 1, 2 and 13 and also with the future line 10.
WRSA designed and commissioned the software and performed the integration testing and system commissioning. The ISCS will manage 22 stations, of which 16 are underground and 8 are interchanges as well as 1 depot.
Incorporated within SYSTEMAT/CS is a powerful suite of functional applications integrating such subsystems as:
The system will be on a one year trial operation and will be used for the Beijing Olympics next year. Beijing Metro Operation Company (BMOC) and its local staff are operating the system on a daily basis.
This is WRSA’s first project with local partner NARI Group Corporation in China, with the Hong Kong based MTR Corporation as the design consultant. The project demonstrates WRSA's ability to work with multiple partners whilst coordinating works between Australia, Hong Kong, and Beijing. The project has been delivered ahead of schedule and is anticipated to come in within budget when the warranty is finished in 2 years time.
