Signalling the Layout

(Also known as Intermediate Signalling Technology Layouts, (ISTL)

Aim

This course will enable signalling designers to specify signalling equipment on signalling plans, based upon a client specification.

Key Features

• Course fully up to date to reflect current requirements
• The course concentrates on understanding of underlying rules for equipment specification
• Technical jargon is explained in clear English terms
• Extensive practical exercise covering a wide variety of lifelike situations.
• Underpinning Knowledge matched to IRSE Licence requirements
• Also provides preparation for module 2 of the IRSE examination

Course Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, the delegate will be able to:
• Interpret customer requirements for signalling projects
• Perform headway calculations for non-stopping trains
• Position signals on the plan
• Specify types of signal and route indicator
• Specify signal identities
• Specify signalled routes required and their characteristics
• Specify Train Protection and Warning Systems
• Specify any additional trap points required
• Specify normal lie and identity of points
• Specify train detection areas and identities

Assessment and Certification

Achievement of the Course Outcomes will be assessed by a theory assessment of signalling layout principles.

The delegate’s achievement of the Course Outcomes will be confirmed by a certificate which will be forwarded to the nominated client contact following the course.

Pre-Requisites

A well prepared delegate is expected to be able to describe the basic functionality of signals, points and track circuits.
