ITS South Africa AGM Gautrain Rapid Rail Link –

From Dreams to Reality Jack van der Merwe (Pr. Eng)

CEO : Gautrain Management Agency 25 August 2010

Scope

Currently one of the largest Green fields rail infrastructure project in the world (USA $ 4,0 b) Emphasising the integration of Gautrain with

existing public transport in Gauteng Was voted “Best Global Deal to Sign” by the International Public Finance Association in 2007

Objectives of the Gautrain Project

More than Just Another Transport Project

Transportation Goals •  Alleviate severe traffic congestion (traffic volumes in corridor

growing at 7% pa.. for more than a decade) •  Show Government’s commitment to the promotion of

public transport (National Land Transport Act,) – Catalyst public transport project

•  Improve the image of public transport with this project and attract more car users to public transport

•  To link to the Tshwane Ring Rail Project, linking Mamelodi, Atteridgeville and Soshanguve / Mabopane

•  Part of holistic transport plan and network for Gauteng •  Catalyst public transport project of national importance

Flagship Public Transport Project of National Significance

•  Gautrain is a flagship public transport project of national importance. It can be the catalyst to free existing resources or to generate new resources to promote public transport in a holistic fashion

•  Need to ensure Gautrain is integrated into the public transport system of Gauteng: –  Promotion of public transport –  Strategic integration –  Operational integration –  Funding strategy / process –  Gautrain governance structure –  TDM strategy

Signaling System adopted for the Gautrain

Signalling

•  In-cab signalling is being used •  The recommended speed and distance to go

displayed in cab. •  Speed monitored. •  Brake intervention if over speeding •  This system is called ATP (Automatic Train

Protection)

Signalling

•  The signalling system conforms to ERTMS(European Rail Traffic Management System) level 1.    

•  Track to train communication via balise (transponder).

•  Track occupancy by means of Track Circuits •  Swing nose points are being used •  Allows for higher speeds over turnouts.

What Can ATP Do?

•  Is fail safe •  Supports and supervises the driver •  Warns the driver and applies the brakes in all

dangerous situations •  Never intervenes unless the driver fails to

respond to given warnings •  Makes it possible to increase traffic capacity

Electrification

Electrification

•  The traction voltage is 25KV. •  Balanced feed from the Main Propulsion

Substation (MPS) at +25KV and -25KV to the Auto Paralleling Substations (APS) along the line.

•  There are seven APSs. •  Only one feed point from ESKOM comprising

two independent transmission lines. •   

Electrification

•  In order to balance the voltage between the two rails a number of impedance bonds have been used.

•  Regenerative braking •  Regenerated Power can be used by other trains

or fed back into the system •
