FZk-CTC

FZk-CTC — China’s widely used centralized traffic control system in railway by CASCO

The centralized traffic control system is the railway signaling technology equipment that conducts dispatching and command of the trains and shunting operations in the section under jurisdiction and achieves centralized control by signal equipment like interlocking, train control and section block. It is an important train operation equipment and command center for railway transportation.

FZk-CTC takes into full consideration the actual situation of China railway such as mixed operation of freight and passenger transportation and frequent shunting operations, and incorporated the control of shunting operations into CTC functions based on the principle of “distributed autonomy”, so as to achieve the remote and intelligent control of shunting routes and effectively solve the frequent shift of control rights between stations and traffic commanding and dispatching centers. FZk-CTC is also designed with the control function of shunting operations at unmanned stations, which fully exerts the advantages of CTC.

System Features

• 1+1 protection of key system units, and hot-standby switch without manual intervention in case of failure
• Distributed autonomic functional configuration that can complete the key dispatching and command in case of central failure
• Distributed WAN structure convenient for potential system expansion
• Modularized software design, flexible to meet user needs
• Standard graphical user interface conforming to ergonomic principles
• Perfect failure diagnosis function, reducing system maintenance time
• Interfaces with multiple systems like interlocking, train control, monitoring, TDMS and GSM-R
• Highly reliable system design based on UNIX system, relational database and object oriented technology
• Well-improved network protection function
• Time synchronization within the whole system

The newly developed FZk-CTC3.0 with independent intellectual property ── a safe,
efficient and reliable all-round integrated system for railway train dispatching and command

• Intelligently integrate multiple subsystems such as train operation, operation and maintenance, query, simulation and emergency based on the principle of “distributed autonomy”
• Adopt a new generation of industrial autonomic machine, and add station servers, thus optimizing the system structure and improving the equipment performance
• Cover more train operation positions at stations, make full use of redundant dual-network to realize two-way transmission of business applications, and increase train operation process supervision and security control, greatly improving the system stability and safety while extending the system connotation
• Build train operation data platform to provide information maintenance for different positions
• Enrich the station plans and change the way of route operation, to better adapt to the train operation commands of various types of stations
