Oceanside, CA-Isifunda saseNorth County Transit (i-NCTD) sifeze ukusebenza okuphelele kohlelo lokuphepha lwe-Positive Train Control (PTC) olugunyazwe ngubumbano lwamamayela ayi-58.5 wamathrekhi alawula ngaphakathi kwengxenye yeSan Diego County yeLos Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN). I-NCTD ingelinye lama-ejensi amane ezweni lonke eliqede ukuqaliswa kwe-PTC ngumnqamulajuqu ogunyazwe nguhulumeni ngoDisemba 31, 2018.
I-PTC iyinhlangano edidiyelwe yomyalo, ukulawula, ukuxhumana, kanye nokwaziswa okuxwayisa abanikazi bezitimela uma kunezimo ezithile ezithile ezingaphephile, futhi ziyeka isitimela lapho izimo zivuma. I-PTC yakhelwe ukuvimbela ukushayisana kokuqeqesha isitimela, ukulimala okubangelwa yijubane lokuqeqesha ngokweqile, ukunyakaza kwezitimela ngokushintshwa kokulandelana okungalungile, nokungena kwezitimela ezingagunyaziwe ezindaweni zokusebenza. Lolu hlelo lwandisa ukuphepha kwabo bonke abasebenzisa imilayezo.
NgoSepthemba 21, 2018, iFederal Railroad Administration (FRA) yanikela ngemvume enemibandela yohlelo lwe-NCTD's PTC Safety Plan futhi yaqinisekisa uhlelo lwe-PTC ngombandela. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-NCTD yayingenye yezitimela eziyishumi esizweni ukuthola le mvume enemibandela. Uhlelo Lokuphepha lukhombise i-FRA ukuthi uhlelo lwe-NCTD lwe-PTC luhlangabezana nezidingo zombuso futhi lusebenza njengoba lwenzelwe.
Ukuvunyelwa okunemibandela kwe-FRA kwalolu hlelo lokuphepha kanye nohlelo lwe-PTC kunike amandla i-NCTD ukuqala ukuhlolwa kokusebenzisana noMetrolink, Amtrak, BNSF, nePacific Sun Railroad ukuqinisekisa ukuhlanganiswa okuphumelelayo nohlelo lwe-NCTD. UMetrolink uqede ukuhlolwa ngempumelelo futhi waqala i-Interoperable Revenue Service Operation (RSO) ngo-Okthoba 31, 2018, walandelwa yi-Amtrak eyaqala i-RSO ngoNovemba 7, 2018. I-BNSF Railway yaqedela ukuhlolwa yaqala i-RSO ngoDisemba 5, 2018, ilandelwa yiPacific Sun Railroad kuqedelwe ukuhlolwa futhi kwaqala i-RSO ngoDisemba 27, 2018.
NgoDisemba 27, 2018, i-NCTD yazisa i-FRA ukuthi ikutholile ukuqaliswa okugcwele kwe-PTC ngokususelwa ekuphothulweni kwayo kokuhlolwa ukukhombisa ukusebenzisana phakathi kohlelo lwe-NTCD lwe-PTC nazo zonke izitimela zabagibeli nezimpahla ezisebenza engxenyeni yeSan Diego yomhubhe wesitimela we-LOSSAN. Kusukela ngoDisemba 31, 2018, zonke izitimela ezisebenza esiqeshaneni se-NCTD San Diego zisebenza ngokuvikelwa kwe-PTC.
“Ekugcineni sikwazi ukusho ukuthi lolu hlelo lusetshenziswe ngokuphelele kunomvuzo omkhulu. Ukuphepha okuthuthukile okulethayo kumakhasimende ethu nakubasebenzi bezitimela akunakuqhathaniswa, ”kusho uRebecca Jones, uSihlalo weBhodi labaPhathi be-NCTD. “Futhi ngijabule ngokukhethekile ukuthi ngikwazi ukuthi ngikwenze ngesikhathi esinqunyiwe ngaphandle kwesidingo sokwelulwa. Ukubambisana kwabasebenzi bethu, osonkontileka bethu, kanye nozakwethu besitimela obekudingeka ukwenza lokhu kwenzeke kumnandi ukubona. Ngithanda nokubonga izikhulu zethu ezikhethwe nguhulumeni nezikahulumeni ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-NCTD iyanikezwa imali ebucayi edingekayo ukuze kuqaliswe i-PTC. ”
"Sijabule kakhulu ukuthi besingabalingani be-NCTD kule nqubo," kusho uJim Hanlon, iPhini Likamongameli We-Rail Systems kaHerzog. "Le yindaba eyimpumelelo sibonga ukuthi sibe neqhaza kuyo." UHerzog ubesebenza ekwakhiweni, ukufakwa, nasekuqalisweni kwe-PTC ye-NCTD kusukela nge-2012.
Umthetho Wokuphuculwa Kwezokuphepha Kwezitimela ka-2008 udinga ukuthi ojantshi bezitimela bafake izinhlelo ze-PTC kumathrekhi athwala abagibeli noma izinto zokuhogela ezinobuthi. Ngokuya ngomthetho wokugcina we-FRA kaJanuwari 2012, i-Association of American Railroads ilinganisela ukuthi ubuchwepheshe be-PTC buzosatshalaliswa emizileni yezitimela ezithwala impahla zaseMelika ezingamamayela angaba ngu-63,000.
Mayelana ne-NCTD: Isifundazwe saseNorth County Transit iyinkampani yokuthutha yomphakathi ehlinzeka abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-10 ukuhamba ngonyaka eNorth San Diego County futhi baye edolobheni laseSan Diego. Uhlelo lwe-NCTD lubandakanya amabhasi e-BREEZE (nge-FLEX service), izitimela zokuhamba nge-COASTER, izitimela ze-railbrid ze-SPRINTER, kanye ne-LIFT yesevisi ye-paratransit. Umgomo we-NCTD ukuletha izinsizakalo zokuthutha zomphakathi eziphephile, ezisebenzayo, ezithembekile nezomsebenzisi. Ukuze uthole olunye ulwazi vakashela: I-GoNCTD.com.
Mayelana noHerzog: Eyasungulwa ku-1969, i-Herzog iyinhloko yomholi waseNyakatho Melika ekwakheni isitimela nesisindo / esitimela, ukusebenza, nokugcinwa. Egxile ekuphepheni, izinga, ubuqotho, kanye nemishini emisha, i-Herzog iletha ubuchwepheshe obusanda ku-industry yezitimela nge-PTC, ukuhlola kanye nokuphathwa kwedatha, ukutholakala kwezitimela nokutholakala kwemishini. Ngokunikezelwa kwabachwepheshe be-2,200 + base-US e-Herzog, i-Herzog iyaqashelwa minyaka yonke ngokuphepha ukuhlelwa yizinhlangano eziphezulu zemboni futhi ihlala ihlukaniswa phakathi kwabakhiqizi abaphezulu be-10 kuMisa okuThuthukisa nokuThuthuka nge-Engineering News-Record.
