Mechanical and Electrical Systems
|
| The mechanical and electrical systems of the project include rolling stock, power supply, signalling, communication and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, automatic fare collection, platform screen door, elevators and escalators, depot equipment, and training facilities. |
|
Rolling Stock |
||
| The passenger vehicle will be electric-powered units with stainless steel bodies. Simple but elegant finishes will help create attractive, air-conditioned interiors with ergonomically designed seating, with special provision being made for mobility-impaired passengers. Automated train operation systems will ensure a safe and reliable train service, passenger information displays and public address systems providing information to passengers in Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English. | ||
|
Power Supply System |
||
| There will be three independent bulk supply substations providing electricity to the network. Supply can be switched from one substation to another in the event of any system failure to ensure the security of the electrical supply to the trains and stations. | ||
|
Signalling System |
||
| The signalling system is designed to provide automatic operation of the trains and of the platform screen doors and to meet the highest standards of safety and reliability. | ||
|
Communication and SCADA Systems |
||
| |
The communication
system for the Red and Orange Lines will employ a computer-controlled configuration.
The main trunk communications will utilize an optical fiber circuit using duplicated
transmission paths, which are mutually supportive. All visual, sound, and data
signals will be transmitted using this trunk system and local area networks (LAN).
The communication systems will include public address, radio, closed circuit television,
telephones, e-mail, fax, passenger information displays, centrally controlled
clocks, security sensors, and SCADA systems providing the capability of central
supervisory control and data acquisition of the entire network. |
|
|
Automatic Fare Collection System |
||
| The automatic fare collection system for the Red and Orange Lines will employ contactless smart tickets. The equipment for this system will include the central processing system, station processing systems, automatic ticket issuing machines, automatic gates, and passenger agent machines. | ||
|
Platform Screen Door System |
||
| At the 28 underground stations of the Red and Orange Lines, platform screen doors will be installed to separate the platforms from the track area. These screens will be robust and reliable; they will also be in harmony with the architectural design of the stations. | ||
|
Elevators and Escalators |
||
| All stations of the Red and Orange Lines will have elevators and connecting passageways that will also enable access by mobility impaired passengers. The designs are aimed to ensure the safety of passengers at all times and will incorporate control panels specifically designed for use by handicapped persons, transparent sidewalls, and surveillance systems that will be constantly monitored by the Passenger Agene Office. The escalators provided for passengers and staff will be equipped with a variety of safety features including safety glass below the handrails, and buffer and alarm functions. | ||
|
Depot Equipment |
||
| A wide range of equipment will be available at each depot to facilitate the various maintenance tasks. The Taliao Depot of the Orange Line, which will house the Operations & Maintenance Training Center, will not only be equipped to undertake routine maintenance, but also to carry out complete overhauls on the rolling stock of both lines. Routine maintenance will also be performed at the North and South Depots of the Red Line. | ||
