SYSTEM OF
WORKING
CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC TRAIN CONTROL
SYSTEM (CATC)
The Continuous Automatic Train Control system works on the
principle of target speed and target distance with Cab Signaling by
means of continuous transmission between trackside and train
through suitable approved means, ensuring safe movement of all
trains under all operating conditions by continuously generating a
safe operating envelope defined by the limit of movement
authority and the maximum safe speed.

FUNCTIONS OF ATS-:
Train dispatching as per the approved time schedules.
Adjustment of station dwell time , to regulate traffic under
disruption.
Computation of train schedule & train time tables.
Monitoring of train position & progress
Display of train service status to traffic controller.
Logging & compilation of events/records.
Execution of instructions received from the traffic controller, like
station skip, keep door closed, train hold etc.
Interface to PAS/PIDS and train ratio.
SIGNALS
(1) The following signals ARE used for controlling the movements
of trains on the Metro Railway, namely:(a) cab signals;
(b) fixed signals; and
(c) hand signals.
(2) The aspects displayed by fixed signals are the same by day
and by the night, in open and in tunnels.
(3) A fixed signal be placed, where practicable, on the left hand
side of the track to which it refers, unless authorized otherwise
under special instructions, and shall be visible from such a
distance as will enable a Train Operator to brake a train from
twenty five kilometer per hour speed to stop before reaching the
fixed signal and a repeater signal shall be provided at locations
where due to obstructions such visibility is not available, except in
depot.
DESCRIPTION OF SIGNALS
(1) CAB SIGNALS
(i) Train movements on running tracks shall normally be governed
by the Automatic Train Protection system which displays to the
Train Operator in the operating console(a) Actual speed of the train;
(b) The maximum permitted speed at each point of travel;
(c) The distance the train is currently authorized to travel (where
provided);
(d) System alarms; and
(e) Messages.
(ii) If the target speed indication and the target distance
indication, where provided, are greater than zero, the indication is
referred to as PROCEED indication;
(iii) If either of these indications is 0, the indication is referred to
as STOP indication;
(iv) The Train Operator is authorised to drive his Train upto the
indicated speed as far as authority has been given for such
purpose.

SPEED OF TRAINS
(1) Every train shall be run on each line of the Metro Railway
within the limits of speed as specified in the approved special
instructions.
(2) The speed of the trains in Automatic Mode shall be
automatically controlled by the Continuous Automatic Train Control
system.
(3) In Coded Manual mode, the T r a i n O p e r a t o r shall
regulate the speed of the trains according to the cab signals, the
maximum permissible speed shall not be exceeded and the speed
of the train shall be such that it can be stopped within the distance
indicated, as being the limit of safety, and the failure to do so shall
result in irrevocable application of emergency brakes which shall
be viewed as a failure on the part of the Train Operator.
(4) In Restricted Manual mode or Run On Sight Mode, as the case
may be, the maximum speed of the trains shall be automatically
regulated to twenty five kilometer per hour and the T r a i n O p e r
a t o r shall further restrict the speed as required by special
instructions.
(5) In Cut out mode, the speed of train shall be manually regulated
by the Train Operator as required and the power to the train
propulsion system shall be cut off above twenty five kilometer per
hour in case of Low speed cut out mode and, forty kilometer per
hour in case of High speed cut out mode, where provided, and the
Train Operator varied or in the event of a major disruption.
(6) The maximum train speed, when passing through a station
platform, shall be as per the Approved Special Instructions, and in
