With the continuous development of the city, the operation technology and demand of rail transit continue to upgrade. Many vehicle manufacturers have set their sights on "automatic guided track systems".
Under this standard, the vehicle system has a high degree of automation, and can even achieve full automation and unmanned driving. At present, the well-known "automatic guided track system" includes: VAL system of Siemens in Germany, APM system of Bombardier in Canada, AGT system in Japan and K-AGT system in Woojin of Korea.
Products specially designed for the field of rail transportation
The application of unmanned driving technology is becoming more and more extensive, the degree of automation is getting higher and higher, and people's safety requirements for automation systems are gradually increasing. LAUNCHED IN 2012, THE PSS 4000-R SYSTEM IS A SAFETY SYSTEM FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, CHARACTERISTICS AND STANDARDS OF RAIL TRANSIT APPLICATIONS, WHICH HELPS MANUFACTURERS TO ACHIEVE SYSTEM SAFETY IN DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND EFFECTIVELY AVOID SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
The PSS 4000-R system is functionally similar to the safety PLC commonly used in the industrial field, so what are the advantages of the PSS 4000-R system as a "dedicated" safety control system for rail transit?
The practice of countless "pioneer" projects shows that although ordinary industrial safety PLC systems also have powerful functions, they often cannot withstand the "powerful" electromagnetic field interference on site, or frequent and violent vibration and shaking, resulting in unstable performance and affecting the safety of the overall system.
The PSS 4000-R system, on the other hand, is "focused" in the field, unaffected by external interference, and has proven its safety features and reliability. With it, the driving safety of rail transit driverless vehicles is in place!
Compliance with European standards covers a wide range of safety surveillance
The PSS 4000-R system has been designed to refer to and comply with a number of European railway standards, as shown in the figure below:
In practical application, taking traction control as an example, what are the danger points and functions that need to be monitored?
The PSS 4000-R system covers all the safety monitoring shown in the diagram above.
Safe, reliable and proven automation solutions for railway safety
The PSS 4000-R solution has been successfully applied in several countries, such as Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, Frankfurt Airport in Germany, etc. The Airval® fully automated driverless rapid transit line between the terminals, under the "full escort" of the PSS 4000-R, is responsible for the transportation of passengers between the terminals and the satellite halls, 24/7, with a top speed of 80 km/h, and more than 3,500 passengers per hour during peak hours.
The PSS 4000-R system has been recognized by Germany Bahn AG (Deutsche Bahn AG) for its excellent performance in practical applications. Today, the PSS 4000-R can be found in diesel multiple units DMU used in urban transport in Germany and in high-speed electric EMUs (up to 200 km/h) used in intercity transport.
Now, the PSS 4000-R system has officially entered the Chinese market, and I believe that Pilz will be able to use advanced technology and experience to add icing on the cake to the "amazing" Chinese rail transit industry in the world!
