Challenge	Beijing, the capital of China, is a major transportation hub with a population of over 18 million people. The city's traffic control center, BTCC, was established to monitor a network of Operational Control Centers for the various rail lines operating in the country. The project was mainly developed and deployed under the supervision of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd. (ST Engineering), one of the largest listed companies on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The project requirement was to integrate various systems, with emphasis on having a unified user interface linked to real-time information. These systems include SCADA, operator information, CCTV, passenger information, decision support and incident evaluation. Read More
About Customer	The Beijing Traffic Control Center (BTCC) is a major transportation hub in Beijing, the capital of China. The city has a population of over 18 million people and is the host city for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The BTCC was established to monitor a network of Operational Control Centers for the various rail lines operating in the country. The project was mainly developed and deployed under the supervision of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd. (ST Engineering), one of the largest listed companies on the Singapore Stock Exchange, with a presence in 35 countries around the world. Read More
Solution	BTCC is using ICONICS GraphWorX™32, part of ICONICS GENESIS32™ HMI/SCADA suite to provide a unified user interface within the monitoring and control center. A total of 50 operator stations are networked together to help monitor the traffic network. The completed system is linked to receive real-time information from various Operational Control Centers of various rail network lines, while the operators at BTCC are able to share the rail line data, rail line videos and reports. The completed system provides a link to an Incident Evaluation System that triggers automatic or semiautomatic plans based on certain incidents. The operators generate various reports by following workflow guidance by the system and forward the reports to the BTCC Database. A Decision Support Database system is also available to the operators, to quickly search and retrieve supporting documents for operational work. A connected CCTV system channels live images from train stations to the Operational Control Centers as well as to BTCC operators. Since the Passenger Information System is also integrated, any emergency information can be quickly relayed to affected line passengers and to other lines for general updates.
