The Challenges of Integrating an Electrified Railway

The author attempts to clarify the responsibilities and roles involved in electrified railway integration, a demanding challenge, which, for the unwary, has plenty of traps. Issues relevant to both the infrastructure authority and the design manager are presented, including civil engineering, electrical interfaces, safety management, interface identification, integration, earthing management, and electro-magnetic capability management.
