Safety and Availability of the KPVA System
| Summary |
The KPVA system, associated with a KFS sensor installed on the train, is an important link in the safety chain, as it allows for automatic detection of dangerous overspeed situations in certain zones.
The KPVA in and of itself is not designed to be an intrinsic safety system. If it breaks down, it does not work and is therefore transparent for trains. Safety is therefore directly tied to its availability and that of the onboard equipment. The KPVA has been designed to be highly available; as seen above, it has two treatment chains, an auto-surveillance system and an auto-reconfiguration system, all of which is associated with a remote maintenance detection system that immediately informs maintenance personnel of a breakdown.Contact us : Tel : 04 42 37 12 70 - Fax : 04 42 37 12 71 - contact@fersil.fr
