铁路隧道监控系统(马来西亚KERETAPI TANAH MELAYU有限公司(KTM Berhad))

How It Started

The Malaysian Government has initiated a project for the Electrification of Double Track Project (EDTP) which runs through the northern peninsular of Malaysia. The project involves the laying and electrification of two new 329km long double track to replace the existing single track including new stations, bridges, the electrification of tracks and signalling systems. The project which started in January 2008 and scheduled to complete by 2013.

马来西亚政府发起了一个贯穿马来西亚北部半岛的双轨电气化项目。该项目涉及铺设和电气化两条新的329公里长的双轨,以取代现有的单轨,包括新的车站、桥梁、轨道电气化和信号系统。该项目于2008年1月开始,计划于2013年完成。

There are two double-barrel tunnels built as part of the project. These include a 3.3km long tunnel in Bukit Berapit, which is the longest in South-East Asia. This gigantic project (est. investment price RM16.5 bil (~4.1 bil USD)) is operated by KERETAPI TANAH MELAYU Berhad (KTM Berhad) Malaysia. It is the main rail operator in Peninsular Malaysia which had been running since year 1885.

作为该项目的一部分,有两条双管隧道建成。其中包括位于布吉贝拉皮特的一条长3.3公里的隧道,这是东南亚最长的隧道。这个庞大的项目(投资价格为16.5比勒(~4.1比勒美元))由马来西亚Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad(KTM Berhad)经营。它是马来西亚半岛的主要铁路运营商,自1885年开始运营。


It is known to be essential and compulsory to have an accurate monitoring and control system for railway tunnels, not only to ease the operators to have a convenient daily job routine, but also to ensure safety as the first priority. Therefore, in order to ensure full functionality of EDTP project, or more specifically, to provide and prepare the Berapit tunnel in the safest condition for trains to operate continually, Ecava IGX is selected as the SCADA solution to achieve these goals, and thus came out with Bukit Berapit Tunnel Monitoring and Control system (TMCS).

众所周知,铁路隧道必须有一个准确的监控系统,这不仅是为了方便操作人员的日常工作,而且可确保安全为第一要务。因此,为了确保EDTP项目的全部功能,或者更具体地说,为了在最安全的条件下为列车持续运行提供和准备Berapit隧道,为了实现这些目标,选择了Ecava IGX作为SCADA解决方案,从而推出了Bukit Berapit隧道监控系统(TMCS)。

Ecava IGX Makes Everything Automated

Ecava IGX has equipped a TMCS which is responsible to run automatic control tunnel ventilation system in accordance with the incidents plans programmed (based on emergency and maintenance philosophy). In the meantime, it also continuously monitor the status of tunnel operations and systems.

Ecava IGX配备了一个TMCS,负责按照制定的事故计划(基于应急和维护理念)运行自动控制隧道通风系统。同时,它还不断监测隧道运营和系统的状况。

The security measures are even more strengthened by having Ecava IGX’s alarm automation system. Any abnormal or failure behavior will trigger alarms generation to alert operators, and they will be automatically recorded and can also be printed or exported.

通过拥有Ecava  IGX的报警自动化系统,安全措施得到了更大的加强。任何异常或故障行为都将触发警报生成,以提醒操作员,并将自动记录,也可打印或导出。

TMCS operates to provide comprehensive management information in the form of historical trends / report, with the purpose to ensure the most accurate assessment of tunnel operating costs which leads to top-level efficiency.

隧道管理系统以历史趋势/报告的形式提供全面的管理信息,目的是确保对隧道运营成本进行最准确的评估,从而达到最高水平的效率。

Manual control facilities for tunnel lighting and ventilation are executable from user workstations in accordance with the incidents plans philosophy.

隧道照明和通风的手动控制设施可从用户工作站根据事故计划的理念执行。

TMCS provides the operational interface for the surveillance and control of the tunnels. There are four (4) TMCS servers installed in multiple cross-states technical control buildings, including one in the Kuala Lumpur central control center. TMCS is designed to allow multiple users access for 24 hours operation purpose by following the best security approaches. Thus, there are three (3) TMCS workstations furnished among those control buildings, which each of them has the same operation interface and functions as TMCS server.

隧道监控系统为隧道的监控提供了操作界面。有四台TMCS服务器安装在多个跨州技术控制大楼中,包括吉隆坡中央控制中心的一台。TMCS旨在通过遵循最佳的安全方法,允许多个用户24小时访问。因此,在这些控制建筑物中有三个TMCS工作站,它们各自具有与TMCS服务器相同的操作接口和功能。

In normal operation, among the four (4) TMCS servers in same network connection, one of them will be promoted as Master to control most of the monitoring, controlling, redundancy and data archiving work. While the rest will act as standby TMCS server. This redundancy is yet another approach to ensure the system availability for all time.

在正常运行中,在同一网络连接的四台TMCS服务器中,其中一台将被提升为主控服务器,控制大部分的监控、冗余和数据归档工作。其余的将充当备用TMCS服务器。这种冗余是确保系统始终可用的另一种方法。

Operator can access TMCS via TMCS servers or workstations in same network connection.

The Architecture

The TMCS is designed based on the use of remote input output units and everything is interconnected via Ethernet TCP/IP private network. All of the system clocks for Operating Systems reside in Servers, Workstations and PLC are synchronized by a Master Clock via Network Time Protocol (NTP).

TMCS是基于远程输入输出单元的使用而设计的,通过以太网TCP/IP专用网络实现万物互联。操作系统的所有系统时钟都驻留在服务器,工作站和PLC上,由主时钟通过网络时间协议(NTP)进行同步。

The TMCS is built as a distributed system with TMCS PLC panels mounted within the tunnel cross passages, and technical control buildings are interconnected by a private LAN (TMCS Network) to the TMCS Servers as well as interfacing with TMCS Workstations.

TMCS是一个分布式系统,具有TMCS安装在隧道交叉通道内的PLC面板,与技术控制大楼通过专用局域网(TMCS Network)连接到TMCS服务器,并与TMCS工作站连接。

This system hierarchy is designed to allow local autonomous operation from different control buildings, to ensure the TMCS can be operated despite any communication failure in any of the control rooms.

该系统层次结构旨在允许来自不同控制建筑的本地自主操作,以确保TMCS可以在任何控制室中通信故障的情况下运行。

The TMCS provides a safe, secure and comprehensive tunnel management system that requires minimum staffing level.

隧道监控系统提供一个安全、可靠和全面的隧道管理系统,需要最低限度的人员配置。
