Onboard ATC Simulator: An Indigenous Development
Signaling & Train Control (STC) Department has successfully designed, developed,
tested, and commissioned a fully functional Onboard ATC (Automatic Train Control)
Simulator utilizing contractual spares and repurposed scrap cubicles. This cost-
effective, in-house engineered solution serves as a comprehensive testing platform
with multi-faceted capabilities that replicate actual train-borne ATC operations.
The simulator's sophisticated functionality encompasses Complete System
Programming: Enables configuration of all critical Onboard ATC equipment including
processing cards (CMP, PPU, GTW, DLU), user switches, and communication
modems and Advanced Diagnostic Testing including Conducts performance validation
of vital components such as the Driver-Machine Interface (DMI), cab speaker systems,
DC-DC converters, and modem units it also helps in Subsystem Verification like
Facilitates thorough inspection and operational testing of motion detection systems
(odometer), wayside communication equipment (beacon), and associated antenna
systems.
