1.09 POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL (PTC) COORDINATION

A. Positive Train Control (PTC) is being implemented by the North County Transit District(NCTD) as required by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. PTC ConfigurationManagement is in place to ensure that all changes to PTC Critical Assets are controlledand deployed in a consistent and coordinated manner.

B. PTC Critical Assets

Assets which are considered PTC Critical Assets (referred to as “assets” or “CriticalAssets”) are those that are stored in, and referenced by, the PTC on board system. Ifchanged, these assets affect the behavior, and thus the core safety functionality, of thesystem. To ensure proper operation of the PTC system, the onboard data must bemaintained to properly reflect the assets along the right of way. Unreported changes toassets will cause the PTC system to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the realworld, thereby jeopardizing PTC functionality. Adherence to the NCTD processes forfield configuration management will help to ensure consistent PTC system behavior,while minimizing the need for onboard data revisions.

PTC Critical Assets are:

1. Centerline Track: Identified by centerline stationing, established by the project.

2. Insulated Joints: Used by NCTD to identify Clearance Points

3. Derail

4. At-grade Crossings: Including highway, street, pedestrian, and private crossings

5. Limits Signs: For example CTC, Yard

6. Milepost Marker Signs

7. Point of Switch

8. Wayside Signals

9. Speed Signs

10. Whistle Board

C. Schedule

PTC Critical Assets shall be called out in CPM construction schedules such that theycan be filtered out of the overall schedule in order for the Contractor and the Engineer tocommunicate with NCTD dates that Critical Assets are expected to be placed “inservice”, to be “removed from service”, and are expected to be moved or affected. ForPTC Critical Assets work, a Schedule Activity ID commencing with “PTCW” shall beused. The Schedule Activity name shall include a description of the Critical Asset, themilepost of the Critical Asset location, and whether the Critical Asset is existing, new,relocated, replaced, or protected.


15-14

PTC Critical Assets are referenced by mile post designations within the PTC databases.NCTD will provide the mile post designation for the existing Critical Assets. Within theSchedule, existing, new, relocated, replaced, and protected critical assets are to belisted to the nearest 0.01 MP and identified as existing, new, relocated, replaced, orprotected, with the dates they are expected to be placed “in service”, to be “removedfrom service” and/or are expected to be moved or affected.

D. The Site Specific Work Plan (SSWP) for all Work Windows shall include the sameAssets information described in the Schedule and the applicable forms described below.

E. Change Request Form

1. The Change Request Form is intended for use by personnel authorized tooriginate changes to PTC Critical Assets on the San Diego Subdivision right-of-way. The Engineer or other authorized personnel shall email all completed formsto NCTD. The Contractor will be responsible for coordinating any deviations fromthe approved Change Request Form as directed by the Engineer.

2. The primary use of the Change Request Form is for planned changes to thecorridor. Unplanned changes that occur during construction will be managed bythe Engineer. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the proposed PTCAsset changes using the following forms.

a. Unreported Change Form

i. Unanticipated changes to the PTC Critical Assets that have occurred, orare occurring, need to be reported using the Unreported Change RequestForm.

Controlling Assets

Change Request Form

The Change Request Form is intended for use by anyone originating changes to PTC CriticalAssets on the NCTD right-of-way, on the LOSSAN corridor, from Santa Fe station to theOrange County Line. Generally, the users will include designers — coordinated through theimplementing agency, construction management — coordinated through the constructionmanagement team, and maintenance workers — coordinated through their supervisors. PTCCritical Assets include: centerline track (horizontal and vertical), insulated joints, derails, at-grade crossings (highway, street, pedestrian, private), limit signs (for example CTC, Yard),

milepost marker signs, point of switch, wayside signals, speed signs, and whistle boards.

The primary use of this form will be for planned changes to the corridor. The respectivedesign teams will fill out this form, and changes to the PTC Critical Assets will be approvedprior to construction. Unplanned changes that occur during construction will be managed bythe Construction Management team and the Resident Engineer. Unanticipated changes thathave occurred, or are occurring as a result of maintenance activities, will be used bymaintenance staff to report the changes to PTC Critical Assets.

Change Request Form

Unreported Change Form

The Unreported Change Request Form is for use by individuals who discover unreportedchanges. It is expected that on occasion a railroad employee will discover changes that haveoccurred to track or other railroad assets due to outside influences such as vandalism,accidents, severe weather, or natural disaster. These changes may also be reported toNCTD by another entity, such as law enforcement, a new agency or a private citizen.Regardless of how the change is detected, it should be reported immediately so that theappropriate corrective action can be taken.

Unreported Change Form

Model-Approved Hardware Replacement Form

Model-approved hardware may be replaced without submitting a Change Request; however,the replacement must be reported. Inventory control labels for such items (or theirpackaging, as applicable) will include a Model Approval tag.
