Adapting the ZSB 2000 system to the requirements of PKP PLK S.A.

Polonizing a railway traffic control system originally created based on different requirements and assumptions is a difficult task, but it can be profitable. The article introduces the German railway traffic control system ZSB 2000, which is currently being implemented in Poland under the name ZSB 2000 pl. Using the example of the differences between the system being implemented and the systems operated at PKP PLK S.A., the article identifies elements of the system that must be changed to meet user requirements, as well as those whose modification would call into question the project’s viability while not constituting a violation of safety standards on PKP PLK S.A. lines.ADJUSTMENT SIGNALING SYSTEM ZSB 2000
TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PKP PLK S.A.
Polonization signaling system was originally created based on different requirements is a difficult task, but it can be profitable. Article brings German signaling system ZSB 2000, which is currently implemented in Poland under the name ZSB 2000 pl. An example implementation, the main differences between system and system resources are at PKP PLK SA indicated elements of the system, which must be amended in terms of user requirements and those that change would put into question the viability of the project while they are not constituting violations of safety standards on the lines of PKP PLK SA
1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SYSTEM
The ZSB 2000 system by Scheidt&Bachmann is a computer-based railway traffic control system for stations, routes, or sections of a railway line. An integral part of the system is an axle counter used to monitor the vacancy of controlled sections (station tracks, route tracks, turnouts, sidings, etc.). The ZSB 2000 system has a structure (…)
