What this diagram shows
- Each station keeps working if the network to the centre fails
- The operations control centre runs the whole line
- A disaster recovery site can take over within an hour
Prompt used
Deployment for metro station systems: each station has an equipment room with a station computer for fare gates, passenger information displays, public address and CCTV recorders. Stations connect over a redundant fibre ring to the operations control centre (OCC), which runs SCADA for power, the train control workstations, the central fare system and CCTV monitoring. A backup control centre in another location mirrors the OCC.
