The safety of railway transportation relies greatly upon rationalised and safe operation of signalling equipment. This course will lay a solid foundation for you if you want to be an excellent signalling engineer. The content of this course is about the signalling infrastructure and equipment that are for securing the safety of railway transportation. Relays, signalling machines, switch machines, track circuits and trackside equipment, for example, are all introduced in this course. The thorough and intensive studying of this course will play an essential role in the professionalism cultivating for those students who work in this field in the future. On the surface, this course seems to only be about tedious principles, structures and graphics, but beneath the surface lies an intriguing soul. The precision of structural design, the sophisticatedness of logical correlation, and the rigour of safety control, of the rail signalling system all mirror the spirits of craftsmanship of our great nation. I hope we, teachers and students, can work together, to appreciate the delicacy and the beauty of the rail signalling system.
Amongst rail transport enterprises, such as railway group companies, metro companies and tramway companies, whether you work as the mainline signalman, onboard signalman, section signalman, or the signalman at the Signaling Centre, you have to be clear of the object that you face at work. As the idiom goes, knowing the enemy and yourself will get you unscathed through a hundred battles. Our teachers, all coming from the frontline, well equipped with empirical engineering experiences, proficient operational skills, and solid theoretical foundation, are confident in covering all the essentials of this field to ensure a comprehensive study for you all. We were once students ourselves as well, we are aware that all students expect to acquire knowledge, develop skills and enhance the competence through the learning. We believe, with the help of the course team of Railway Signalling Infrastructure, every single of you will appreciate the charm of this course, strengthen your professional foundation, and then write up your own dream life.
