Traffic management systems for Baku Metro, Azerbaijan
In 2007-2013, RTS managed the project of implementation of Traffic Management System (TMS) in Baku Metro. The Central traffic control center was created, and required equipment was installed to establish communication between the Central traffic control center and 10 station control centers. SCADA handles 20 – 30 thousand of digital signals.
The Central traffic control center is situated on 28th of May station and is equipped with:
- Server QNX
- Database backup server
- Data base management system server
- Automated workplace (AWP) of central dispatcher
- Communication network equipment
- Video wall of operator’s AWP
- Displays of trains dispatchers for Metro’s red and green lines
- Video server
- Graphics processor
- Video wall of information display system (1 х 12 m)
- Video wall of executive controller’s AWP
- Executive controller AWP
- Monitoring and signaling units (24 sets)
- Server hardware equipment
- Network switch type Catalyst 3560 24 10/100/1000T
- AWP of centralization room operator (main and backup), intended to control the devices of route-relay station centralization
- Automated workplace of electromechanician to control signaling systems parameters
- Communication devices power supply system.
Modernization of the local and central traffic control systems was performed without the train movement stoppage.
Out-of-date systems and control panels of the dispatchers were substituted by new ones at all the stations.
Traffic control at the stations and at the Central traffic control center is performed by means of the modern micro-processing technologies (systems of distributive controllers, servers, data transmission through optic communication lines).
Control is carried out from AWPs.
Unique software allows to control the train operation, define the faults of the field devices, archive all the events connected with the train operation.
