Project Description:
Every weekday, an average of 1.2 million people ride the subway, buses and streetcars of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The TTC owns and operates subway and surface transit systems for the City of Toronto, Ontario and provides mass transit for the entire Metro area.
Development of TTC’s new Power SCADA System was awarded to Transdyn in early 1999 as a joint effort with Alstom Signaling (formerly GRS). This system monitors power distribution to all transit lines (subway, trolley and light rail), ventilation subsystems, and passenger station facilities.
The power management capabilities of the SCADA system are very extensive with many operations fully automated, e.g. scheduled shutdowns, emergency ventilation, and emergency trip recovery. Operators are able to monitor and control power to track segments, substations, and surface street catenary subsystems. They can also view switch and power status, execute grouped control commands, execute and monitor pre-placed power, generate system and userlevel reports, and archive system generated data.
