Mipro Core CTC – Centralised Traffic Control System
Mipro Core CTC is railway’s highly scalable centralised traffic control system for reliable and efficient railway dispatch and flow. It provides a unified operational environment for the traffic dispatchers to improve the safety and punctuality of railway traffic.
The system is capable of integration with various types of interlocking systems into a single CTC system and provides a uniform traffic visualization for improved traffic control.
The system supports traffic management with following centralized safety systems (CSS).
- ETCS/ERTMS Level 2 with Hybrid Train Detection (HTD) Support
- ETCS/ERTMS Level 2
- ETCS/ERTMS Level 1
- National Class B Interlocking solutions
Scalable Traffic Control views
Control views can be defined for detailed stations or overview of a track section with multiple stations. Traffic operators can choose and arrange windows for their daily work need.
User roles and access management
System provides built in groups and roles management. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) provides fine grained roles and groups definitions for all of the system users.
Alarms and Notifications management
CTC system can monitor all alarms raised by safety system or other auxiliary system and categorize them according to the pre-defined priorities. The Critical events can trigger popup alarms to have the immediate attention from the Traffic Controllers.
System, Safety logs and reports
The system has built in log storage and able to log all the customer defined data, interlocking events and system messages. Reports can be created based on this stored information to generate insights in the operation’s efficiency.
Advantages
- Disributed vs Central control
- Enhanced Passenger Experience
- Increased Safety
- Faster Decision-Making
- System Resilience
- Realtime update of vital data
- Flexible auxiliary interface
- Adaptation to customer and system
The system can provide traffic from traffic control centre or via remote control sites. Thanks to the flexible configuration, operation can be centralised in one traffic control centre or distributed throughout a geographically wide area.
Passengers receive accurate information on the updated platforms and changes in the schedule improving satisfaction even during delays or disruptions.
Specific rules ensure safe operations during abnormal conditions (e.g., reduced speeds, restricted track usage). This prevents accidents and ensures compliance with safety standards.
System can collect and present all information in a unified control view to help the controllers take quick decisions, which is crucial when every minute counts. Operators must be able to notice abnormal situations and elements immediately and react to them without delay
A railway system that uses multiple rule sets can recover more quickly after disruptions. This improves overall reliability and robustness of the network.
Traffic controller’s work requires constant attention and interaction with rail maintenance supervisors, train drivers and shunting work personnel.
The system takes the challenges involved in traffic controllers’ daily work into account by providing flexible interfaces to auxiliary systems and a clear, user friendly and customizable HMI to do their job in more efficient way.
Mipro Core CTC is designed to support traffic controllers in their daily work through flexible and intuitive control views. Users can customise their workspace to suit individual requirements, define the amount of information displayed, save dedicated views for different operational scenarios, and arrange windows and control displays as needed. The solution also accommodates country-specific and interlocking-specific requirements, providing a scalable, efficient and user-focused traffic control environment.
FEATURES
end user
experience
The HMI provides modern UX which can be tailored with customer’s requirement. Mipro’s project development process starts with customer’s requirements and feedback for User Experience.
Interoperability with Customers systems
The system connects seamlessly with existing systems, processes and equipment. It uses standard data transmission networks for this communication and can utilise the received data in harmonised way with-in the system
high Availability and Georedundancy
Solution designed from bottom up to address geo redundancy and high availability of system. Geo-redundancy enhances availability of the system by geographically separating the system at two locations and ensuring traffic operation during outages. This minimises the risk of downtime and provides a robust solution for railway traffic control.
Security and
Compliance
System is designed and developed to address the current railway Cyber security paradigm, considering IEC 62443 and TS50701 standard and specifications. The system supports advanced security tools, making it suitable for Security Level 3 requirements of IEC 62443.
Mipro CTC delivers high safety, centralized traffic management and seamless integration with many different signalling systems. The system supports modern standards such as EULYNX for cost-effective lifecycle. These capabilities help railway operators increase capacity, improve punctuality, and maintain safe operations while preparing for future digital railway innovations.
