SUPPLY OF LOCOMOTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS ІMPROTRAIN-250 FOR LTG INFRA (LITHUANIA)

SRPA “Impulse” has started manufacturing of the On-board locomotive safety systems SLB ImproTRAIN-250 within the framework of agreement with LTG Infra (Lithuania) regarding replacement of outdated locomotive safety systems in rolling stocks.

ImproTRAIN-250 is a modern on-board system designed to improve safety, to automate control of safety functions for locomotives and multiple-unit rolling stocks.

15 locomotive safety systems SLB are under implementation in the following rolling stocks.

• KTD is a multipurpose rolling stock designed for construction, technical maintenance and overhaul of electrified railway networks;
• MPT-6 is a diesel switcher;
• Plaser EM140 is a track recording car manufactured by Plasser & Theurer;
• WM-15S is a draisine, manufactured by ZNTK Stargard;
• ADM-1s is a diesel mounting and constructing railcar;
• ADM is a diesel mounting railcar;
• AGRC-1200 is a self-propelled railway draisine designed for the construction and maintenance of railway lines.

The personnel who will operate this system have already been trained on real equipment and certificates have been issued confirming the competence required to operate the specific system or equipment.

Implementation of ImproTRAIN-250 on a rolling stock will allow to:

• Increase the safety of movement due to a multilevel system monitoring train parameters, infrastructure and driver’s actions.
• Save on energy usage, fuel, increase the resource of braking equipment due to optimisation of speed mode and braking process.
• Sufficiently reduce labour and financial costs for maintenance of movement safety equipment.
• Abandon “paper technologies” through the use of a contactless electronic device for recording and updating data about a trip via the radio channel.
• Switch to maintenance of safety equipment “based on actual condition” due to in-depth self-diagnostics and in-built signal simulators (without removing from the locomotive and using external stands).
