2. Introduction
This document is intended to outline the concept to integrate various measurement systems
into a unique and cohesive monitoring environment while allowing incorporating an open and
modular architecture to allow for the future scalability, development and implementation of
future measurement systems.

The purpose of the integration is to deliver all data to a central point for storage and analysis.
This facilitates access to the measurement and monitoring systems, the measured values
and the technical status of all installations. It is thus easier for the user to handle the different
systems by having an interface that represents the systems in a unified, standardized
manner. Thus allowing an identical way of information presentation at all workplaces; data
exchange is made easier.

5. Overview
The wheels of the trains represent a risk factor for the security of the railway operations.
Therefore, it is very important to monitor the wheel status in terms of temperature and
defects. It is also important to detect if there are dragging elements beneath the train.
For that we can use several side-track detectors which measure
The table below presents the different types of Vehicles, which are used by ISR. All the fleet
should be monitored.

21
Israel Railways Ltd ‫רכבת ישראל בע"מ‬
Rolling Stock Division ‫חטיבת נייד‬

12. Network Structure


The network infrastructure, which connects all the measuring places to the CCR should
be via ISR Ethernet for safety purpose. All equipment (local routers, switches etc.)
should be the supplier responsibility according to ISR spec.

12.1 Data Transmission Technique


The basic communication used is TCP/IP. The connections are usually made as peer-to-
peer connection where the central provides the right amount of sockets.

12.2 Network Topology


The general topology usually is a star. The individual measurement places should be
connect directly to the central equipment (peer-to-peer). Each site may consist of
more than one measurement system that may share the physical line (a local router is
used to connect all systems to this line).

12.3 Centralized Equipment

The Central Monitoring Solution comprises of central server/s. All data is received
and stored in a data base. The operators have access to this data and receive
unsolicited information at their stations (e.g. failure information of technical equipment
and alarm messages concerning the rolling stock).

22
Israel Railways Ltd ‫רכבת ישראל בע"מ‬
Rolling Stock Division ‫חטיבת נייד‬

12.4 Server Structure

Server system can be virtual server, according to ISR definition.


Six client or more.
For security reasons the network between the measurement places and the
servers should be completely separated from the network between the servers
and the user terminals.
Captured data should be stored centrally in structured form on the server in SQL
database according to ISR definition.
All monitoring stations including cameras' output, should be presented in parallel

If for some reason the transition of data is disrupted, a controller should supervise the
process and complete the missing data.

It should be include the following requirements:


System redundancy per ISR requirements
Manage the entire system centrally
Generate statistics, trends, analysis and reports
Connect an unlimited number of terminals
Send alarms via SMS, SMTP, SNTP
optional module: Predictive Maintenance Application, which include recommendation of the
date it is required to re-profile the wheel

Israel Railways Ltd ‫רכבת ישראל בע"מ‬
Rolling Stock Division

12.5 Decision Tree

24
Israel Railways Ltd ‫רכבת ישראל בע"מ‬
Rolling Stock Division ‫חטיבת נייד‬

12.6 Data Base


The data base to be used is a SQL data base; e.g. the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or
later depends on ISR requirements. All data of a specific train can be examined. Data
can be found based on a certain measurement position or based on a time frame
given by the user. It is also possible to retrieve data of consecutive measurements of
a passing train to enable trends of the train status while travelling to its destination.

12.7 Operator Terminal


This work place is dedicated to control the rolling stock. The central server will inform
the work place automatically of any event: train passage, train alarm and technical
alarm of the measurement equipment. Each workplace has its own area of
responsibility and displays only those measurement equipment and the data
measured there. The local work place draws the attention of the user by optical and
acoustical signals. All Monitoring stations should be presented parallel, on each
terminal. So the traffic controller can react, warn the train driver and all relevant
clients.

12.8 Maintenance Terminal


The purpose of a maintenance terminal is to give the operator a detailed view on the
technical status of his measurement equipment. ISR will have the possibility to see
information in real time from all monitoring stations and view the history of events
(e.g. events leading to a problem). This shall facilitate the opportunity to foresee
upcoming problems early, plan service actions only when necessary and prepare for
the site visit in the most efficient way.

13. Connection to MMS server


The ISR uses Maintenance Management System (MMS) monitors train conditions in
real-time and reports on alerts and failures. The supplier is required to integrate with
the MMS, using a web service and interfaces, based on information to be provided by
ISR within 45 days AFTER Effective Date of the Agreement, which ISR should provide
on the preliminary design review.

The integration should include but not limited to the following interfaces:
1) Send - System status including:
a. Keep-alive of each component (server side)
b. General statuses, alerts, failures of each component in the system
c. Sensors statuses, alerts and failures
2) Send – Tests results including:
a. Original row data values from each sensor, in real time
d. General information (e.g. weight, length, speed, number of axles etc.)
e. Alerts, failures and status per examined component (messages) in real
time
f. Analyzed condition per examined component (messages) in real time
25
Israel Railways Ltd ‫רכבת ישראל בע"מ‬
Rolling Stock Division ‫חטיבת נייד‬

g. Test general result


3) Send – Accumulate test results from two test points
a. Original row data values from each sensor
b. General information
c. Alerts, failures and status per examined component (messages)
d. Analyzed condition per examined component (messages)
e. Test general result

Each messages (alert/failure) should include:
