Taiwan Railways has picked LILEE System to deliver advanced rail safety technology. The company has completed a proof of concept (POC) of the mission-critical Train Control 4.0 system (TC 4.0) on EMU800 trains on the Liujia Line in Northern Taiwan.

TC 4.0 is an end-to-end train safety and train control solution that provides overspeed protection, work zone protection and temporary speed restriction. It can effectively prevent derailments and collisions due to trains violating speed restrictions, missing signals, or entering a wrong track.

TC 4.0 provides enhancements to traditional ATP through: continuous monitoring; real-time communications; precision train positioning; and non-vital cab signalling.

“The TC 4.0 POC demonstrates TRA’s commitment to safety and diligent work of the entire team who made this happen,” said TRA Deputy Director-General Feng Hui-Sheng. “This is an important milestone towards increasing rail safety that protects our riders, workers and infrastructure.”

“It is our honour to bring expertise and deliver the mission-critical train control solution for TRA. Enabled by the proven LILEE SafeRail solution for limits compliance and collision avoidance, we believe TC 4.0 will help TRA achieve their safety goals and increase operational efficiency,” said LILEE Systems CEO Jia-Ru Li.
