About Courses
Fundamentals of P-Way Engineering
P-way Design
involves the
design,
construction,
operation
and
maintenance
of Light
Rail Transit
(LRT), Heavy
Rail Transit
(MRT) and
Highspeed
Rail (Bullet
Trains) to
ensure safe
and
effective
transportation
of people
and goods.
The course
modules
share P-way
or LRT
Design in a
detailed
manner. The
course has
covered key
industry of
P-Way
Design,
Elements of
P-Way such
as LRV
Bumpers,
vehicle
dynamic
envelops,
etc. The
course
module the
design
process
track,
horizontal
design,
vertical
design,
superelevation,
the speed at
curves, and
track
components,
etc.
The course
also covers
different
type of
Track Forms
such as
Ballasted
Track Forms,
Embedded
Tracks.
Along with
this, the
course
covers key
features of
Tram Stop,
type of
stops,
surface
finish, etc.
In the
First
Module, we
have
commenced
the course
with the key
industry of
P-Way
Design. The
module then
explained
the features
of Tram like
LRV
vehicles,
pantographs,
crash energy
management
(CEM), LRV
Bumpers,
vehicle
dynamic
envelopes,
platform
clearance,
etc.
In the
Second
Module, we
have
described
Track
horizontal
design and
covers link
and curve
section
design,
superelevation
or cant
deficiency
and
superelevation
unbalance.
The course
module has
also
described
how to
define the
speed of LRT
Track at
curves and
the
categories
of speed at
curves such
as
overturning
speed, safe
speed,
maximum
authorised
speed and
signal
speed.
In the
third
module, we
have
described
Track
vertical
alignment
design and
covers
vertical
gradient,
crest
curves, sag
curves
design along
with design
guidelines
and design
formulas.
Thereafter,
the module
has
described
trackwork
component
such as
Turnouts,
Crossovers,
Switches,
Cross-Rails,
Frogs,
check-rails,
and Pocket
Tracks.
In the
fourth
module, we
have
described
LRT Track
forms,
stiffness of
track, and
track
modulus.
Thereafter,
the modules
have
described
various
Track forms
such as
Ballasted
Track,
Direct Fix
Track,
Embedded
Track,
Floating
Track and
Tracks in
the
transition
zone. The
module has
also covered
various
forms of
Track
Sleepers
such as
Timber
Sleeper and
Pre-cast
concrete
sleepers.
The module
described
the formula
to determine
the spacing
and factors
of the
sleepers
that affect
sleeper
spacings.
In the
Fifth
Module, we
have
described
LRT Tram
STOP design
and its
types like
Island
Platform and
Side
Platform.
The Module
then covers
components
of Tram Stop
such as
shelter,
walkways,
ramps,
steps,
signages,
lighting,
Passenger
Information,
etc. It has
also covered
the Platform
surface
finish and
Tactile.
In the
Sixth
Module, we
have
described
the Tram
signal
system,
signal
equipment,
traction
power
system,
distribution
system,
substation
system and
catenary
system. Within
the Tram
Signal
System, we
have covered
the switch
machine,
impedance
bonds, loops
and
transponders,
wheel
detectors,
axle
counters,
etc.
