2、ICONIS Automatic Train Supervision Features

As part of an ICC, ICONIS ATS provides both an operational and generic platform, which
manages the Traffic Control function. As an operational platform, ICONIS ATS is a ready-to-use
product for transport projects, requiring only application engineering to configure its database and
displays.

Since ICONIS relies on open technology – the Windows 2003/XP operating system and
standard interfaces（OPC, OLE-DB）– it eases the integration of commercial off-the-shelf（COTS）
products. Depending on the requirements, COTS integration can either be light, relying on existing
compatible interfaces（OPC, ActiveX）, or more advanced leading to development of new interface
components（I/O modules）. Full（tight）integration is also possible by direct modification of the
existing code base.

Furthermore, ICONIS ATS（Fig2）customization is not only based on configuration of the
application, but also can be extended through the development of add-on components. The
underlying ICONIS technology and design principles（object oriented design, software bus,
standard interfaces）ease this customization.

˙The ICONIS ATS product consists of:
˙The general software architecture for ATS,

˙A set of components dedicated to specific functionality（signaling interfaces, train tracking,
train identification, train regulation, etc.）,
˙A set of application objects describing the behavior of the signaling equipment（track
circuits, signals, switch points, etc.）, which are based on a large library of equipment
templates that can evolve with each project.

To match the specific requirements of a project, each component or application object can be
customized individually with changing the design of the system.
