Designing fluidity: Infrastructure solutions of Alstom Transport • Best practice of low vibration track • Contribution to Green standards: mechanisms to reduce the environmental impact of infrastructure
Designing fluidity:Alstom Transport - Two fields of activities of TGS 2 000 employees in 25 countries TURNKEY RAIL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS Urban and Intercity Transport Global Solutions RAIL INFRASTRUCTURES All E&M equipment installed on the Civil Structure
Designing fluidity:Interdependent activities with full range of skills • RAIL INFRASTRUCTURES • Management of projects in operation phase • Complete infrastructure EPCM contractor : • Electrification (Traction Power Supply & Catenaries) • Track / Permanent Way • Equipments for Stations, Tunnels and Depots • Maintenance of infrastructures • Worldwide n°2 in Electrification TURNKEY RAIL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS • Strong capacity of R&D in transport systems • Unique system integrator with in-house skills : • Rolling Stock • Train Control • Rail Infrastructures • Maintenance • Worldwide n°1 in Full Turnkey Tramway
Designing fluidity:Rail infrastructure EPCM contractor PROCUREMENT ENGINEERING MAINTENANCE CONSTRUCTION • > EPCM skills in all project steps : • A large multidisciplinary engineering office with a work force exceeding 500 persons • A world wide suppliers knowledge with strong frame contracts - Flexible construction resources including heavy plant & tools and local partnerships - Maintenance return of experience optimizing preventive operations
Designing fluidity:R&D innovation in transport systems APS Ground Power Supply HESOP Reversible Substations APPITRACK Track laying technology High Attenuation Sleeper Antivibration solution • R&D address various topics requiring a system approach: • Urban Insertion • Energy Saving • Environmental Impact • R&D products and solutions are based on a proven design already implemented on existing projects
Low vibration track – Best practiceHAS - High Attenuation Sleeper An alternative to floating slab track • Use of a rigid hull • Reduction of stiffness (no vertical friction between sleeper and hull) • Easy maintenance (sleeper easily clipped in the hull) • Concept of track with sleepers • Reliable construction rate (production without discontinuity) • Reduction of tunnels diameter (FST systems being thicker) • Significant noise reductions • Attenuation higher than 20dB at 63Hz Fastening system according to customer choice Holes for conductor rail support Polyurethane seal Rigid plastic hull Concrete sleeper
Low vibration track – Best practice Advantages of HAS over FST Lessconcrete (optimisation of the cross section) Lessmanhoursrequired for installation Samemethodthanrest of the line No stress on the linear planning of works Adjustable to specific Rolling stock data Friendly Maintenance HAS sleeper
Contribution to Green standards: Impact of Rail infrastructure Smaller land occupation 17 Road 0.27 Airplane Safer Classic Train 0.18 TGV on VHSL 0 * 0 5 10 15 20 Source : SNCF-I Number of people killed per billion passenger-kilometre Greener Smaller land footprint 28 m for a motorway 15 m for a double track * 2.2 gr for France, 12 gr CO2 for Europe average energy mix
Contribution to Green standards:Overcomingconcerns of noise radiation NO! NO! NO! European Commission white paper on Transport (2011), goal: A 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport by 2050. • Expansion of the European railway sector • Upgrade the capacity of the rail network • Triple the length of the existing high speed • network by 2030 • Build freight corridors
Sound insulation Composite brake blocks Low noise barriers Rail grinding Wheel dampers Rail dampers Contribution to Green standards: Noise abatement measures Noise barriers
Contribution to Green standards: Dampers for wheel and rail… Examples for rail and wheel dampers • Special damping devices attached to • rail and / or wheel can considerably • reduce the noise radiation of rail and wheel Schrey & Veit Davaac,GHH-Valdunes, Enac Schrey & Veit Tata Steel Plate absorbers
Contribution to Green standards: Damper performance Resultsfromnational projects in France and Germany, EU projects SILENCE, depending on the application Absorbers on rail: -3 dB (A) Absorbers on wheel: -2 dB (A) Absorbers on rail and wheel: -5 dB (A) The approval of rail and wheel dynamic absorbers is sporadically on-going in Europe (France, Germany, NL,…) : no common certification campaign
Contribution to Green standards: The STARDAMP project • - Define generally agreed efficiency criteria • - Allow comparison of performance of products • - Define a generally agreed specification • - Standardise the procedure for evaluation of products • Choice of the optimum rail damper for a particular situation • Choice of the optimum wheel damper for a particular situation • Laboratory measurements procedure • Homologation of dampers • Optimisation of wheel and rail dampers for a particular application
