determining delay on account of any relevant failure rests solely with the Engineer and
shall be final. The delay is calculated by the time lost by the first affected train due to a
relevant failure. The determination of delay shall be further developed during DLP.
Description MTBSAF
(i) Delay to train service exceeding 2 minutes from the schedule / 3000 hours
timetable as noted at the destination station, or fault
preventing a train from entering service at its scheduled time.
(ii) Delay to train service exceeding 15 minutes, or requiring 16300 hours
temporary closure of signalling /ATP functionality for 900m on
both up and down lines in the normal direction of travel
(iii) Delay to train service exceeding 30 minutes, or closure of 200,000 hours

signalling /ATP functionality for 900m on both up and down
lines in the normal direction of travel for more than 2 hours, or
implementation of single line working for a period of 1 hour or
more.
Table 1-1 Availability Performance Figures
For item (i) of the table, MTBSAF will be demonstrated by analysis and actual
calculation. MTBSAF shall be calculated as the ratio of “Total test Duration” and
“Number of relevant failures” for any of the component / sub-system of the entire

cannot move in ATP/ATO mode in any direction of travel
 Failure of onboard ATC equipment such that door authorization is not provided by
ATP system in any direction of travel.
 Failure of wayside signalling system such that a train has to be terminated short
and passengers are detrained.
The discretion of detrainment of passengers on account of any relevant failure rests

solely with the Engineer and shall be final. The scenario for detrainment shall be
further developed during DLP.
1.3.5.2 Any break in power supply to Signalling & Train Control system, Telecommunication
system and/or Automatic Fare Collection system, caused due to any failure of the UPS or
associated sub-systems during the Defect Liability Period, may call for imposition of
penalty of Rs. Two Lacs per such event on the Contractor.
