ABSTRACT

This paper presents an Advanced Command, Control and Communication (C3) Solution that provides an integrated and holistic approach to the operational, security and safety needs of modern railway systems.

It briefly describes the advances in the control room solution for transit systems’ applications, and compares the conventional SCADA type solution deployed in older transit system’s control rooms with the Operation-centric focus in this C3 solution, and its adoption of the state-of-the-art multi-media communication platform as its converged backbone, and IP enabled devices.

It also presents a possible C3 system configuration, system functionality and the benefits of such an integrated solution.

Keywords: Integrated platform, Operation-centric, Cross-functional, Situational management.
