SigThemis ETCS and tSafer-UC1000 CBTC signalling and train control systems have the same system architecture and share software and hardware resources, which CRRC says should improve reliability and allow the use of unified platform resources for multiple products on board and on the ground. As a result, CRRC says this should reduce operating and maintenance costs, as well as the cost of spare parts, and facilitate remote maintenance and diagnosis.
Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric says SigThemis conforms to the latest standard of ETCS Baseline 3 B3R2, which is compatible with Baseline 2, and can fully support the system application of ETCS-NTC/0/1/2. “The TSI index of the whole system is more than 90% of the match mark,” the company says.
The tSafer-UC1000 CBTC system conforms to the IEEE1474 standard. In addition, the system meets the interconnection standards issued by China Association of Metros (Camet) and supports the requirements of Grade of Automation levels GoA2-GoA4.
