The system shall have provision of configuring the speed limits/ slabs as mentionedin column 2 of the above table, by the purchaser. However, these speed limits shallbe in multiples of 5 KMPH or less.5.8.2 Monitoring of Release speed: The Release Speed (RS) monitoring applies to thesection near the EOA, where the speed is monitored against a constant value, theRelease Speed. If the current train speed exceeds the Release Speed, emergencybrake is applied by the TPWS & the train is brought to a halt. It shall be possible torelease the emergency brake only after train stops.5.9 Application of Emergency brake when passing Manual Stop Signal/ IB Signal/Gate Signal at ON (Train Trip): When Manual Stop Signal without calling on signal/Manual Stop Signal with calling on signal at ON/ IB Signal/ Gate Signal is passed atON, TPWS shall apply emergency brake irrespective of the speed of train & will bringtrain to a halt. It shall be possible to release the emergency brake only afteracknowledgement by the driver after the train has stopped. The events of such brakeapplication & the acknowledgement shall be logged. It shall be possible to overrideTrain Trip function when passing such signals at ON as described in para 5.10.15.10 Passing of Manual Stop Signal/ IB Signal/ Gate Signal at ON:5.10.1 The TPWS equipment shall have provision to enable passing of a manual stopsignal (without calling on signal)/ IB Signal/ Gate Signal at ON by carrying out EOAoverride operation on the SDMI/DMI. The EOA override operation shall be done bythe driver after following the procedure as prescribed in relevant paras of G&SR forpassing such signals at ON. This override operation shall be possible only after thetrain has come to a stop. The override control must be protected against inadvertentoperation. This action shall be logged by the system.5.10.2 If Manual Stop Signal is at ON but its calling on signal is OFF, the system shallpermit passing of such signal without EOA override operation. However, on passingsuch signal, a visual indication shall be lit up on the SDMI/DMI & TPWS shallrequest for an acknowledgement from the driver. If driver doesn’t acknowledgewithin 5 secs, the service brake shall be applied till driver acknowledges. However, ifwhile passing such signal, the speed of the train is more than the speed configuredin the system to be followed after passing such signal then brake shall beimmediately applied to bring the speed to the restricted speed configured in thesystem, without waiting for driver’s acknowledgement. The indication shall remain litup until the train passes the switchable/ signal balise (not the in-fill balise) connectedto next signal ahead. This indication reminds the driver that he should proceedahead cautiously at the specified restricted speed as per G&SR. The driver shallpass such signals at ON after following the procedure as prescribed in relevantparas of G&SR & follow the restricted speed as defined in G&SR. In case the trainspeed exceeds the restricted speed configured in the system, TPWS shall takeaction as described in para 5.8.1 above. Provision should be made in the system toenable changes in the configured restricted speed limit to any value (which can be inmultiples of 5 KMPH) at a later date to comply with the changes in Operating Rulesof the Indian Railways.5.11 Passing of Semi auto/ auto signal at ON: In automatic signalling territory, when theautomatic signal with “A” marker plate or the semi-automatic signal with illuminated “A”marker light displaying ON aspect is passed, a visual indication shall be lit up on theSDMI/DMI & TPWS shall request for an acknowledgement from the driver. If driverdoesn’t acknowledge within 5 secs, the service brake shall be applied till driver

acknowledges. However, if while passing such signal, the speed of the train is morethan the speed configured in the system to be followed after passing such signal thenbrake shall be immediately applied to bring the speed to the restricted speedconfigured in the system, without waiting for driver’s acknowledgement. The indicationshall remain lit up until the train passes the switchable/ signal balise (not the in-fillbalise) connected to next signal ahead. This indication reminds the driver that heshould proceed ahead cautiously at specified restricted speed as per G&SR. Thedriver shall pass such signals at ON after following the procedure as prescribed inrelevant paras of G&SR & follow the restricted speed as defined in G&SR. In case thetrain speed exceeds the restricted speed configured in the system, TPWS shall takeaction as described in para 5.8.1 above. Provision should be made in the system toenable changes in the configured restricted speed limit to any value (which can be inmultiples of 5 KMPH) at a later date to comply with the changes in Operating Rules ofthe Indian Railways.5.12 Balise Tracking / Balise Linking: The TPWS equipment shall be capable ofidentifying missing balise and give suitable audio & visual indication to driveraccordingly.
