Computerised Signal Box with Continuous Automatic Train Running for Munich’s S-Bahn Main Line
The Munich S-Bahn main line has been running at maximum utilisation for years. To increase its transport capacity, INGENO Europrojekte GmbH was entrusted with the upgrading of the signalling equipment.
The passenger volume has grown considerably since the line was put into
operation in 1972. Originally designed to handle 250,000 passengers
daily, today the line serves 750,000 passengers. Since the
throughput capacity of the Munich S-Bahn main line could no longer be
increased with the available signalling technology, the only way to
extend the transport capacities was to reduce the time interval between
trains.
To increase the frequencies of the trains, the Munich main line from
München-Ost-Postbahnhof to Passing had to be equipped with continuous
automatic train running control. This standard allows trains to succeed
closely behind each other in the station platform area and to thereby
diminish intervals between trains. After the upgrade the cycle time of
some S-Bahn lines could be shortened from 20 to 10 minutes.
From München-Ost to Hackerbrücke the main line runs in a tunnel. There,
an computerised signal box, consisting of a sub-control centre and an
off-site signal box computer, was erected by Siemens. The equipment is
operated from the Munich control centre. Equipment of the main line was
completed in 52 weekend closures for the tunnel works and in night
closures for the field works. The computerised signal box was
successfully put into operation in August 2004.
Within the framework of this 420 million euro project, INGENO
Europrojekte was responsible for the planning of the cable engineering
works and the signalling equipment, the elaboration of a commissioning
concept and the supervision of the construction works by a signal
planner. For the conversion of the tunnel, INGENO Europrojekte
installed special constructions for mounting the signal lights (special
design because of the clearance gauge) and for the signal switching
cabinets as well as axle counters and speed testing equipment.

| INGENO Europrojekte GmbH strengthens its presence in the Eastern European region: Alcatel SEL AG Stuttgart has entrusted the company with the implementation planning for signalling systems and underground cabling on the railway link between the Belorussian border near Indra and Ventspils, Latvia’s major port. In addition, INGENO Europrojekte GmbH has been awarded the order to manage and monitor the surveying works, as part of the basic analysis, on the so-called east-west corridor. |
