28 Communications System The Cable Transmission System is an IP-based network that provides the Ethernet backbone for all field devices to communicate with the Operation Control Centers (OCC). Master Clock Subsystem. The Master Clock Subsystem provides accurate time to all systems that require it. Wireless Network Subsystem. The Wireless Network Subsystem provides a secure means for retrieving live surveillance video feeds from moving trains. Telephone Subsystem. The Telephone Subsystem provides for Station Emergency Telephones, Service Telephones, and the Control Center switching and support equipment required for system operation. 28

29 Communications System IP Video Subsystem. The IP Video (IPV) subsystem provides for video surveillance of passenger stations, distributed recording of this video, and the centralized viewing, retrieval and management of these video streams. Network Management System. The Network Management System (NMS) provides for centralized management and alarm monitoring of Cable Transmission System components and other system components that support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Voice Logging Subsystem. The Voice Logging Subsystem (VLS) records all incoming and outgoing telephone calls at the Operations Control Center. 29

30 Communications System Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Subsystem. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Subsystem (SCADA) subsystem provides for the control and monitoring of Traction Power equipment by the Control Centers. The SCADA system also provides for the monitoring of equipment alarm and other points at the Control Centers. Public Address/Passenger Information Sign Subsystem. The Public Address/Passenger Information Sign Subsystem (PA/PIS) provides for automated train arrival announcements at Stations with concurrent arrival messages on Variable Message Signs. The system also provides for live, ad-hoc and scheduled announcements/displays from the Control Centers. Uninterruptible Power Subsystem. The Uninterruptible Power Subsystem (UPS) provides short-term backup of utility power at Stations. 30

41 Cable Transmission System CPT The Cable Transmission System will be constructed for high availability and fast fault recovery within the limits of the available dark fiber infrastructure. The Network will be organized as three distinct layers as follows: Core /Aggregation Layer. This layer will consist of the aggregation switches at the CHF facilities(s). All of the C&S locations will have redundant connections to these switches. Distribution/Backbone Layer. This layer will consist of the Backbone Switches located in the C&S nodes. These switches will have redundant 10-Gigabit uplinks to the Core Layer switches at the Operations Control Center (OCC) and Backup Operations Control Center (BUOCC). Access Layer. This layer will consist of the Access Switches located in the C&S nodes and CIC cabinets. Field devices will connect to these switches. Each Station s Access Layer switches will have uplinks to two Backbone switches. Office Switches will be provided at the two Control Center locations for the connection of Dispatcher workstations. Office Switches are also considered Access Layer devices. 41

42 Cable Transmission System The Cable Transmission System will be configured in a Ring Architecture. Each of the four Corridors will be a separate ring with one end terminating at the CHF/OCC at the Transtar facility and the other end terminating at the Backup OCC at the Rail Operations Center (ROC). The ring will be closed by connecting the two Control Center locations with a shared dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Carrier Packet Transmission (CPT) Connection. 42

43 Cable Transmission System Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) will be employed to segregate traffic from different services. VLANs are logical groupings of ports on the Access Layer switches. In general, devices on one VLAN cannot communicate with devices on another VLAN without going through a L3 device such as a router or multilayer switch. VLAN segmentation provides broadcast isolation, policy implementation, and fault isolation in addition to the broader goal of isolating one service s traffic from another. Encryption (2960s) will be applied to the network rail traffic 43

44 Conclusion All of these system elements need a comprehensive detailed design that is reviewed by subject matter experts. The light rail design team included personnel from City of Houston, TxDOT, Transtar, vendors and METRO. A detailed schedule & testing and commissioning plan must be developed and executed in order to assure the safety certification process and timeliness of the project. A detailed integration plan must be developed to ensure the complete safe integration of all systems elements functionality with each other. 44

45 Conclusion Dedicated testing, commissioning and integration teams must work together throughout the duration of the delivery of the project. QUESTIONS 45
