0 Introduction This specification covers basic technical requirements of the Fog Vision System (FVS) for application on Diesel Electric locomotives and any other self propelled vehicle treated as train. These technical requirements cover basic features of equipment. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer/supplier to develop circuit/detail design to meet the requirements of this specification.

1 Objectives and Scope of the specification This document lists the functional requirements of fog vision system for use on diesel electric locomotives of Indian Railways. This document has been prepared with an aim of defining the requirements for development of system which shall be capable of assisting the locomotive pilot by enhancing visibility under dense fog for operating the trains and locomotives. This document is a starting point for further development of equipment specification, inspection and test schedules required for deployment of equipment on Indian Railways.

2 Terminology / Abbreviations SWIR: Short-wave infrared ( = 1.0 to 3 m) MWIR: Mid-wave infrared ( = 3 to 5 m) LWIR: Long-wave infrared ( = 8 to 12, or 7 to 14 m) RADAR Imaging: Technology that attempts to form a picture of the object by mapping the electromagnetic scattering coefficient onto a two-dimensional plane. HMI: Human Machine Interface

3 Brief description of the system/equipment/components The final equipment is expected to contain the following major sub components equipment. The list is indicative and the respondents shall provide further details as per their own design.

Infrared Camera Visible Light Camera Radar Imager Control Desk: Preferably software controlled through a suitable HMI using context sensitive keys. Processing unit Interface to display data on existing DIALS display of locomotive. Required cables and interfacing equipment Hardware for mounting and cabling

4 General requirements The equipment is expected to meet the following general requirements:

Shall be able to aid the driver under conditions of poor visibility especially fog. FVS shall be universally suitable for all types of sections of Indian Railways like single line,

double line, twin single line, multiple lines etc. Equipment shall be suitable for mounting and operating on diesel electric locomotive of Indian

Railways. Will have suitable interface to connect to existing electronic equipment on the locomotive. Will be powered from the locomotive power supply and power requirements shall not be

excessive.




Page 4 of 6

5 Functional requirements The equipment shall address the following functional requirements.

The equipment shall provide a driving aid to the locomotive pilot. Under conditions of poor visibility, especially dense fog, the equipment shall enhance range of visibility of upto 1 km or better and display the same in the form of a real-time video on a display screen located ergonomically near the operators seat. The enhanced video shall be provided for use as a driving aid for the locomotive pilot for driving under poor visibility conditions.

It should preferably use a hybrid image processing algorithm which shall use multiple image stream sources i.e. like cameras sensitive to SWIR, MWIR, LWIR and RADAR imaging and enhance visible image suitably. This hybrid image so developed shall be provided as a realtime (Firms are free to suggest different solutions which meet the required end result).

The enhanced image should be displayed on a display mounted on the locomotive control desk. It is suggested that the existing control desk display system should be suitably interfaced for displaying the enhanced image.

The system shall be capable of showing the enhanced image in real-time and without perceptible latency at locomotive road speed of upto 120kmph.

The system control should be implemented by a HMI which uses a multi-mode display and context sensitive keys (like a mobile phone). It should be possible to integrate the control desk to the locomotive control display system at later stage.

6 Technical requirements The proposed system shall meet the following technical requirements:

The system shall be suitable for working of the locomotive supply which is supplied at nominal voltage of 72 VDC. Care should be taken to accommodate the voltage variation permitted by the IEC standard.

The system shall be required to be developed for providing the driving aid display on AAR-590 compatible display systems for locomotives. This shall be taken up at a later stage after the initial proof of concept.

7 Safety requirements The equipment shall meet all statutory and regulatory criteria required for safety of users.

8 Environmental/Climatic requirements The equipment shall conform to environmental conditions detailed in the AAR-S-5702. In addition, all requirements as mandated in the respective specifications of the LCC and the pneumatic systems shall also be applicable to the DPCS components interfacing with these locomotive systems.

8.1 Minimum temperatures The minimum temperatures listed in the AAR standard S-5702 is -400C. Such temperatures are not encountered on the Indian Railway system. Hence the lower temperatures listed in the standard shall be interpreted as -200C in lieu of -400C as stipulated in the standard.

8.2 Reference environmental conditions The following is the normal operating environment under which this equipment is required to operate. This data is provided for guidance only. Atmospheric temperature

Maximum temperature of metallic surface under the sun: 75C. Minimum temperature: -10C (Also snow fall in certain areas during winter season.)

Reference site conditions

Ambient temperature: 50C Humidity: 95-100% Altitude: 1776 m above mean sea level

Humidity 100% saturation during rainy season Rainfall Very heavy in certain areas

Atmospheric conditions

Extremely dusty and desert terrain in certain areas. The dust content in air may reach a high value of 1.6 mg / m. In many iron ore and coal mine areas, the dust concentration is very high affecting the filter & air ventilation system.

Coastal area Humid & salt laden atmosphere with maximum pH value of 8.5, sulphate of 7 mg per litre, maximum concentration of chlorine 6 mg per litres and maximum conductivity of 130 micro siemens/cm

Wind speed High wind speed in certain areas, with wind pressure reaching 150 kg/m2 Table 1: Reference Environmental Conditions

9 Documents required from supplier The respondent should provide the following technical documents as part of their proposal.

In case of already developed systems, the equipment manufacturer must provide to RDSO, the complete details of algorithms, design and drawings required for the purpose of evaluation of the design and its functionality. All documents shall be supplied in both hard and soft (PDF) copies.

In case of new or developing design, the process of design of the system clearly indicating the different stages, milestones and project duration.

Performance specification of the equipment.

10 Tests for Verification & Validation The following tests shall be conducted for testing the equipment for compliance and suitability to requirements.

Visual check.

Verification of test certificates and reports submitted. Proof of concept demonstration of the equipment under controlled conditions. Verification of compatibility for fitment on locomotive. Fitment and trials on locomotive Extended field trials for performance evaluation. Performance shall be closely monitored and

evaluated by RDSO for: o Reliability under actual operating conditions o Advantages for locomotive operation and maintenance o Maintainability of the system

Notwithstanding anything that may be specified in this specification, the final responsibility for the suitability of the design shall lie with the respondents and shall carry out all modifications for satisfactory functioning during the period of field trials. Any safety related modifications issued by IR are to be carried out by the respondent.

11 IPR disclaimer The respondents must also provide the following undertakings in signed copies.

11.1 Undertaking by equipment manufacturer All respondents shall provide a signed copy of the undertaking on INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT RIGHTS. The undertaking shall be as under

Indian Railways shall not be responsible for infringement of patent rights arising due to similarity in design, manufacturing process, use of similar components in the design & development of this item and any other factor not mentioned herein which may cause such a dispute. The entire responsibility to settle any such disputes/matters lies with the manufacturer/ supplier.
