Train Control Technology
Importantly, displayed screens, operator selections
and actions can be recorded with software-based devices.
This allows for important post-incident investigations
and can greatly improve operator training and
operational rule making design.
Both input and output functions can achieve a SIL2/3
safety level with modern devices. While most traditional
hardware-based train control HMIs are not considered
" fail-safe " , some do include functions which are. Being
able to replicate that level of safety with software can
be an important cost savings.
Maybe most importantly, as smart phones and tablets
have forced almost everyone to interface with touchscreen
technology, there is less objection and mistrust
than in the past. Most users have a familiarity with the
technology in their everyday lives.
These are among the reasons why Europe and Asia

have largely transitioned to software-driven train control
HMIs - a trend that is also well established in many other

technology not been widely adopted in North America?
Signaling and train control systems are often the
most conservative and slowly evolving subsystems (such
The Model 10 Signal
Since 1936, the Model 10 Signal has set the
standard for railroad crossing warning devices.
The Model 10 can be configured
to your specifications
with a 3590 series
gate mechanism, plus a
gate arm up to forty feet
long. Then, either LED or
incandescent light units,
along with either a mechanical
or an electronic
warning bell, and the
proper signage complete
the signal assembly.
Please contact Western-Cullen-Hayes, for
Model 10 details.
