Hitachi Rail’s FDC 3G wayside signaling platform offers train control features like modern track circuits and lighting applications. The system shifts the bulk of wayside I/O functions and interfaces while off-loading the I/O processing workload from the controlling MicroLok® II Platform. Power Frequency track circuits are also part of the platform. The lighting platform performs all traditional wayside signal subsystems functions. Track circuit/lighting calibrations are performed entirely in software while equipment rack space usage is reduced.
