Today, in the presence of the Minister of Transport, the management of \u010cD Cargo, the parent company \u010cesk\u00e9 dr\u00e1hy and other representatives of authorities and institutions related to railway transport, the carrier \u010cD Cargo festively launched the operation of a new train control simulator in \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1. All \u010cD Cargo train drivers will be trained there on a regular basis. The simulator is a faithful copy of the driver’s cabin of a Siemens Vectron locomotive. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Traffic safety is an absolute priority for \u010cD Cargo. That is why every two years, our drivers undergo individual training on the simulator under the guidance of a lecturer from the Transport Training Institute. Here they can try out, for example, reacting to signaling equipment failures on the line, driving a train under the ETCS supervision, but they will also deal with emergency situations they may encounter in regular operation,” said Tom\u00e1\u0161 T\u00f3th, Chairman of the Board of Directors of \u010cD Cargo. <\/p>\n

“Train hard, fight easy. Preventing emergencies, reacting correctly in an extraordinary situation, is one of the important prerequisites to better manage traffic, to improve safety on the railway. This year, we have as a main theme the preparation for ETCS supervised operation. I see the commissioning of the new simulator as an important milestone enabling a simpler transition to the new train control system,” added Transport Minister Martin Kupka. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The drivers run the simulator on lines based on real railway network. Currently, the lines Cha\u0142upki \u2013 Bohum\u00edn \u2013 Hranice na Morav\u011b, Hranice na Morav\u011b \u2013 Vala\u0161sk\u00e9 Mezi\u0159\u00ed\u010d\u00ed, Vala\u0161sk\u00e9 Mezi\u0159\u00ed\u010d\u00ed \u2013 Fr\u00fddlant nad Ostravic\u00ed and Suchdol nad Odrou \u2013 V\u00edtkov are available. The lines were selected to include the most frequently used ways of interlocking train journeys on the network of Spr\u00e1va \u017eeleznic. These are automatic block, automatic signal block, and control, command and signaling according to the D3 rules. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The simulator is also equipped with signaling systems used on \u010cD Cargo locomotives, such as LS 06, Mirell, or ETCS level 2. In connection with the expansion abroad, the simulator is also equipped with signaling systems of foreign railways (e.g. SHP, LZB or PZB). The simulator is supplied by Sim Factor, a company known for supplying similar equipment to Poland, Austria, Great Britain, Lithuania, and other countries. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
