Description
The objective of this project is to identify methods, other than car stop markers, for mitigating the risk of station overruns and SSDRs in the long term. It will draw on the research findings from 17-003 to determine what is required and identify solutions which fit these requirements. This project will identify existing, near to market and novel approaches for technological solutions suitable for use on the current and future GB rail network and make recommendations based on the expected benefits, cost and impact of these solutions. The solutions will provide drivers with an indication of train stopping position that correlates with train length and ensure all passenger doors intended for use are accommodated within the platform. The indication should ideally be presented in-cab, clearly visible from the driver's normal seated position, thus reducing the need for a side view window to be provided as part of the train build design. Other technological examples include the introduction of dynamic illuminated signage which detects the specific train arriving and provides tailored information on the stopping position. This will enable the industry to determine its future path with relation to enabling drivers to stop trains in the correct position at stations. Following completion of this project it is envisaged trialling of suitable solutions could be undertaken.
Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
