The Challenge

As part of the Automatic Train Protection (ATP)Project, the $120M Waratah ATP upgrade is required to provide additional safety benefits and more reliable services by ensuring trains operate within the permitted speed limit.

What We Did

Plan Safe were the system safety consultant for the project, providing specialist expertise to ensure the safe implementation of this critical safety system. Our consultants provided design safety assurance for the new ETCS system including management of all software safety aspects.

The Outcome

Plan Safe has delivered systems safety for the world’s first fully redundant integrated ATP/TCMS Driver workstation. The delivered ETCS workstation includes redundant displays with a first-of-its-kind manually selected Day/Night mode colour palette applied to the entire Driver Machine Interface.
