> Installation starts at Metro Munich

 
Recently, Telefunken Racoms has installed the first Radio Base Stations (RBS) in a new constructed tunnel segment of Munich metro line U3 between the stations "Moosach" and "Olympia Einkaufzentrum". The single track tunnel segment comprises 3 metro stations and one stabling yard at a length of approximately 2 km. The stabling yard and each tunnel track is covered by several radio base stations (RBS)For this segment, the radio coverage in total is 2.2 km by an average distance between the RBS of about 450 meter.
 
During the next weeks, this new track segment will be commissioned before it will be officially inaugurated by mid of December. One part of the commisioning activities is the commissioning of the radio system, the integration of the radio system in the fixed data network and the integration of the sub systems for passenger counting (APC), entertainment, passenger information (PIS) and online CCTV systems.
 
After final commissioning, Stadtwerke Muenchen (SWM) will have a fully integrated TRainCom MT radio system, which enables a transparent communication between train and track without any noticeable service degradation. After an intensive design phase the new radio system will help now to improve the operations of the metro operator
Within further steps, successive installations of up to 250 RBS and quite a few trains will follow to complement the first sections.

> ITCS

 
During the previous ITCS Conference in Darmstadt (27.+ 28.10.2010), members of the german VDV (Verband deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen) have presented the latest news and discussed about the "Intermodal Transport Control System" implementations.
Telefunken Racoms has used this platform to present its TRainCom radio communication solutions suitable to support various kind of transport control systems.
Conference members and urban transport organisations have taken advantage of this event to discuss their demands with their suppliers.

> TRainCom TN

 
The TRainCom TrafficNet (TN) radio network solution is primarily intended for mobile users within public transport systems, which require a reliable communication link with a broadband character. For urban and rural areas, an intelligent combination of public network services (GSM/UMTS), own wireless networks (WiFi, DMR) and adequate network routing features, provide a smart connectivity even for large fleets.
The embedded routing mechanisms of TN make it easy to exchange data in mobile transport systems, even if usual wireless connectivity is unstable or unpredictable.  
Typical applications in this field are:
  • GPS positioning data
  • Diagnosis information
  • Voice services for driver and passenger purposes
  • Online passenger information
  • Fleet tracking
  • Mobile passenger internet connectivity
  • CCTV surveillance and download services
  • Passenger counting data
  • Time table updates
They all take advantage of the mobile connectivity provided by TrafficNet system solutions.
More information on this system solution are available here.
