Wabtec

Product/Service Overview:

As an on-board geographic database and global positioning system, the Wabtec Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS®) PTC safety-overlay system continuously calculates warning and braking curves based on all relevant train and track information including speed, location, movement authority, speed restrictions, work zones and consist restrictions, providing an additional safety overlay. Intended to help prevent track authority violations, speed limit violations and unauthorized entry into work zones, Wabtec I-ETMS® provides significant enhancements to rail safety.

Wabtec PTC I-ETMS® has four main segments:

Locomotive On-board – computer, display screens, GPS units and radio/antennas
Wayside – interfaces to existing equipment to provide data about signals, switches and other detection needs, such as broken track
Communications – a mixture of RF base stations, Wi-Fi connections and cellular networks
Office Systems – software applications that manage information from the railroad signal network, dispatch system and other data systems to integrate items such as movement authorities and restrictions and train makeup

Wabtec provides the on-board and back office components and is available to provide complete system integration and hosting support for I-ETMS implementation.

Implementation and Support Services: Wabtec offers a range of services, allowing short lines to select the options that best suit their specific needs.
