Ukubukwa Kwephrojekthi
U-NCTD uzibophezele ekwenzeni imigwaqo yethu iphephile ngangokunokwenzeka kubagibeli bethu nomakhelwane. Ukuhambisana nayo yonke imithetho ye-federal ingxenye eyodwa yokuqinisekisa ukuthi isitimela sethu sihlala siphephile. Umthetho Wokuthuthukiswa Kwezokuthutha Kwe-Railway we-2008 unqume ukuthi imikhakha yezitimela kanye nezokuthutha i-PTC yi-2015. Ngasekugcineni kwe-2015, iCongress yenezela isikhathi esinqunyiwe okungenani iminyaka emithathu kuDisemba 31, 2018. I-PTC ngumyalo odidiyelwe, ukulawula, ukuxhumana, nolwazi olulawula ukunyakaza kwezitimela, ngaleyo ndlela kukhuthaza ukuphepha kwabo bonke abasebenzisa imigwaqo.
Iphutha lomuntu lilokhu liyisisusa esikhulu sezinye izingozi zezitimela ezimbi kunazo zonke emlandweni wase-US. Ubuchwepheshe be-PTC, noma kunjalo, kuvimbela izinhlobo eziningi zephutha lomuntu ekungabangela izingozi. Isibonelo, ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-PTC, uma onjiniyela wezitimela enganciphisi isitimela esengozini yokushayisana, isitimela siyazihamba. Ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bomhlaba jikelele (GPS), ukuxhumana kwedijithali namakhompiyutha ebhodi, ubuchwepheshe be-PTC buqhubeka ngokuqhubekayo ezindaweni zokuqeqesha, ngokuzenzekelayo kugcwalisa ukunyakaza kokuhamba kwesitimela futhi kuyomisa isitimela uma abasebenzi bengakwazi.
Implementation
Ukuqaliswa kuqedile!
Ukuqaliswa kwe-NCTD kwe-PTC sekuphelile. Zonke izinhlelo zesistimu ze-PTC ngayinye zifakiwe futhi zihlolwe. I-NCTD ihlolwe ku-Revenue Service Demonstration (RSD) okwakuyivivinyo lokugcina lazo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza. Ukuqaliswa kwe-NDD ye-RSD kwenzelwe imali engenayo yokusebenza (ukuhamba kwabagibeli) izitimela ze-COASTER ne-PTC esebenza.
Ngemuva kokuba kuvivinywa, i-Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) yahlola futhi yaqinisekisa uhlelo lwe-PTC nokusebenza. NgoDisemba 27, i-2018, i-NCTD yazisa i-FRA yokusebenzisa ngokugcwele uhlelo. Futhi ngoDisemba 31, i-2018, i-FRA yavuma ukuthola incwadi ka-NCTD yokusebenza ngokugcwele kwe-PTC - enye yezitimela ezine kuphela ezweni ukufeza lokhu ngesikhathi esinqunyiwe.
Isebenza kanjani?
I-PTC yikhokhnoloji yokubikezela nokusebenzayo ethola izimo ezizayo futhi iyakwazi ukumisa isitimela uma kudingeka. I-PTC yezakhiwo zobuchwepheshe iqukethe izingxenye eziyisihlanu eziyinhloko:
- Office
- Wayside
- Abagibele
- Umsebenzi Wemgwaqo
- Communications
Ingxenye yehhovisi inamaseva we-PTC nolwazi olulondoloze ulwazi lwethrekhi, izindawo zokuqeqesha, izindawo zokusebenza, kanye nemingcele yejubane.
Ingxenyeni yendlela ibangela ukuthi iziphathimandla zihambisane nezinsiza ezitholakala ezindleleni zendlela, imininingwane yendawo kusuka ezitimeleni, nesimo somsebenzi ezivela emagatsheni omgwaqo.
Ingxenye yokuxhumana ihlanganisa izintambo ze-fiber optic, inethiwekhi yeselula, uhlelo lwemsakazo lwe-220MHz, ne-GPS. Ingxenye yokuxhumana inikeza indlela yokuxhumana phakathi kwehhovisi, izakhi zomkhondo, izitimela, kanye nabasebenzi bomgwaqo.
I-NCTD yakha ukuhlolwa kwe-PTC nokuqeqeshwa. Isikhungo sokuhlolwa nokuqeqeshwa sinezinkampani zonke ze-PTC futhi sizokwenza ukuhlolwa kokuphela kokuphela ngaphambi nangemva kokuthi uhlelo lwe-PTC lwe-NCTD luhanjiswe. I-NCTD izophinde isebenzise lesi sikhungo ukuze ikwazi ukujwayela abaqhubi bezitimela kanye nabasebenzi bokulondoloza ngezidingo ze-PTC nokuhlola i-hardware ne-software yokuguqulwa. Izisetshenziswa ezisetshenziselwa ukuqeqesha abasebenzi kwi-PTC inikeza umbono olinganisiwe wezingoma zesitimela, njengoba zithunyelwe ngezansi.
