Year 2007/2008 achievements

Global system for mobile communications for railway
networks (GSM-R)

Client: Network Rail


Developed the simulator specifications for both the cab radio (driving cabs) and fixed terminal (signalling and control centres) equipment.

RODL is currently providing the training for both the in-cab (driver/conductor) and fixed terminal (signaller) systems. RODL has also been engaged to provide operational support to the national rollout of training end users.


Rolling stock iniatives Client: FTPE and Irish Rail

RODL provided Project Management for the introduction of new rolling stock. We developed the Hazard Log and assisted the client to remove, or control all associated risks. We advised
on ‘Stepping’ Distance exceedence and correlation of the optimum platform stopping position.

RODL recently developed and produced a range of
traction/driver manuals and devised new arrangements for the shutting down of traction units whilst in service.
This work included the development and validation of a
simplified brake continuity test, preparation, disposal and
mobilisation/immobilisation instructions, which have all delivered a significant benefit for the client.

Production of operational instructions for
new traincare depot

Client: Irish Rail

RODL recently completed the writing of the operational instructions for Irish Rail’s “state of the art” traincare depot at Portlaoise, which covered train movements, depot protection arrangements and operational risk
