WSP CCS Solutions encompasses everything from traditional colour light signalling to the most advanced moving block automated solutions, from control floor to trackside, and the integration of the end-to-end solution from concept to commissioning.
Delivering the Right Solution for your Railway
WSP has a global presence in the CCS market. We have subject matter experts in all aspects of CCS including traffic management, train control, signalling and the secure communications systems associated with train operations and bring experience gained on deployments around the world. Our engineers have worked on mainline, metro, urban and light railway deployments in Europe. North America, South America, Australasia, Asia and the Middle East.
We couple this with an unparalleled understanding of railway operations. WSP is a market leader in railway operations planning and modelling and bringing new systems into service - and what we bring is a combination of operational and technological expertise to ensure the delivery of an effective solution that is right for the railway.
Managing Complexity
Many of the latest CCS solutions are at the cutting edge of train control or are required to interface with legacy systems, some with a 100-year heritage. Being at the cutting edge means the world of CCS is becoming more complex and more complicated than at any previous time and that delivering it requires a different approach and critical insight.
Critical Insight
The array of technologies on the market is extensive, not everyone has the ability to draw on insight from across them. WSP’s unique global position means we can. Our subject matter experts have expertise in:
- CBTC (GoA2, 3 and 4) applied to metro, urban and mainline railways
- ETCS (Level 1 and 2) applied to metro, urban and mainline railways
- ATO over ETCS (Level 3 Hybrid) including highspeed lines
- PTC
- Freight Line deployments of ETCS and CBTC
- ATS and TMS control layers.
De-Risking Delivery
Implementing any new system brings risk – but a robust approach to applying systems engineering, coupled with technical expertise, reduces that risk.
Our experts bring successful execution from a portfolio of projects to bring control and rigour to your programme.
Future Ready
Future-proofing your railway means implementing the technology now that is easily maintainable, scalable and upgradable to meet the demands of the future. Bringing on-board a systems integration specialist means you master the complexity and deliver the system you need for the future.
