(2009) Establishment of Central Traffic Control system in Szeged region

In fall of 2006 MÁV published the public tender „Delivery of station interlocking systems reconstruction and remote control systems financed by the Vendor”, which aimed to build up a state-of-the-art control center in Szeged for the more than 300km long lines. The tender was awarded to Prolan, the contract was signed in August 2007. The scope covered the delivery of both the Central Traffic Control and Overhead Line Equipment remote control systems. A second contract was signed for settling the special financing construction: MÁV will be paying the system price over a 10-year-long period, which starts after 2 years from the system go-live date. As the third one, a maintenance agreement was signed for 15 years in order to provide the safe and reliable background for the system operation.

The system was delivered in time, started its operation on 8th June 2009.

The features and functions implemented in the project:

Concerning the 13 remote controlled stations (Kiskundorozsma, Szatymaz, Balástya, Kistelek, Csengele, Petőfiszállás, Városföld, Galambos, Jászszentlászló, Kiskunmajsa, Harkakötöny, Soltvadkert, Pirtó)

• station interlocking systems remote control
• control of station switchyards
• establishment of a safe and redundant data network
• automated passenger information system
• automated point-heating systems
• automated station lighting control
• security systems for the stations with no staff
• installation of 3 local node control center (Szeged, Kiskunfélegyháza, Kiskőrös)

OHLE features:

• control of 7 base sectional posts
• control of 4 substations and connected sectional posts (Kistelek, Kiskunfélegyháza, Kiskunhalas, Szabadszállás)

For supporting the central traffic management:

• 1 CTC center in Szeged station
• 13+28 stations equipped with CTC and CTM terminals
• 7 traffic monitoring workstations on the neighboring stations (Szeged-rendező, Kiskunfélegyháza, Kecskemét, Nagykőrös, Cegléd, Kiskunhalas, Kelebia)

The new system brought significant enhancement in the traffic management and service level esp. with the improved throughput of the line and timetable-punctuality of the running trains.

The sophisticated event manager and logging functions support the efficiency of the maintenance, and also improves operators discipline.

The industrial control devices (Remote Terminal Units, RTUs) installed in the railway stations and substations had been manufactured in the Prolan owned manufacturing company (PEGY), their software has been build by our own software engineering staff.
