OVERVIEW
Overspeed Monitoring & Protection
The Tram Overspeed Protection System (TOPS) is an independent, safety-critical solution designed to continuously monitor tram speed and automatically intervene if predefined speed limits are exceeded. By operating independently of the primary vehicle control system, TOPS provides an additional layer of protection against overspeed events that could lead to derailments or collisions.
Designed for modern tram and light rail networks, the system monitors vehicle speed against route-specific limits, including curves, gradients, depots and terminal approaches. If an unsafe speed is detected, TOPS initiates a controlled fail-safe breaking action or propulsion cut-off to help maintain safe operation.
Safety-critical system architecture.
Configurable operating parameters.
Continuous self-diagnostics.
Automatic fail-safe braking intervention.
Route-based speed configuration.
Independent overspeed monitoring.
