she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This brings us one step closer to upgrading our rail network&#8217;s signalling and train control systems, which will improve our trains&#8217; reliability and safety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Significantly upgrading our signalling and train control systems will allow more trains to run more often, benefiting not only our current passengers but also meeting future demands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new system, once its delivered and commissioned, will continuously send real-time train data to Transperth, allowing them to monitor the speed and location of every train on Perth&#8217;s growing rail network.<\/p>\n<p>The HCS project is funded by both the State and Commonwealth governments and will be delivered in stages over the next 10-years to minimise disruption to train operations.<\/p>\n<p>HCS will be delivered in conjunction with the PTA&#8217;s Radio Systems Replacement project, which will upgrade Transperth&#8217;s rail radio systems by replacing the existing analogue technology with a high-tech digital communication platform.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/signalling-and-train-control-systems-upgrade-contract-announced-for-wa\/\">Signalling and train control systems upgrade contract announced for WA<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/\">Rail Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AD Alliance \u2013 comprising Alstom Transport Australia Pty Ltd and DT Infrastructure Pty Ltd \u2013 has been selected as the \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/signalling-and-train-control-systems-upgrade-contract-announced-for-wa\/\">Signalling and train control systems upgrade contract announced for WA<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/\">Rail Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,2537],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rail-industry-news-australia-new-zealand","category-signalling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25620"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25621,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25620\/revisions\/25621"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
