First try at the exercise

[onestrangeday]

Yes, this is an exercise question for signalling layout of a single line railway (given a blank single line layout).

The question given is as below:

1. Signal the layout shown in the Single Line Layout.

Position the signals fixed by the layout first. Then position the remaining signals.

Assume
Max Train length: 200 metres
Deceleration: 0.7m/s2
Brake delay: 6 seconds
Maximum train speed: 100k/h
Maximum line speed: 120k/h

2. Calculate the headway on the line for:
a. Following trains
b. Opposing trains.

Clearly show the calculations used to arrive at your solution.



please check my work, if there's anything wrong as I am not very experienced in signlling a layout, but I wish to further extend my knowledge on various aspect of Railway Signalling.


thanks

This is an interesting question that I'll attempt to look at soon.
I don't remember this being an actual IRSE exam question, but nothing wrong with that and there is no reason why if shouldn't have been set.
Where did it come from?
What precisely was the wording of the question- presumably you were given a blankk layout on which you needed to position some signals in order to comply with some nominated criteria?

Hi Signalling Professionals:

The attached files are my first attempt for the signalling layout exercise and headway calculation for single line railway.
Please check my work, I apologise if my work is totally out of the track.



thanks
