Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to coordinate tram/light rail traffic movement in accordance with organisational procedures, regulatory requirements and codes of practice. It includes monitoring the status of and implementing the daily timetable; controlling tram/light rail traffic movements; implementing contingency plans for system faults, failures and planned events; and updating traffic movement documentation in accordance with organisational requirements. Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Monitor status of daily timetable
- 1.1 Tram/light rail movements and associated activities are analysed to establish current situation
- 1.2 Out of course tram/light rail movements, special events, planned reconstruction work and associated activities are identified to establish their effect on the status of the daily timetable
- 1.3 Notices are checked and adjustments are made as required
2 Implement daily timetable
- 2.1 Tram/light rail movements are coordinated to ensure optimum and consistent running to schedules in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
- 2.2 Relevant information is communicated to internal and external customers
- 2.3 Planned and unplanned tram/light rail movements are implemented in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
3 Control tram and light rail traffic movement
- 3.1 Tram/light rail movements are coordinated with other relevant personnel in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
- 3.2 Operational tactical situations are monitored to ensure adherence of tram/light rail traffic to daily timetable
- 3.3 Alarm systems are monitored and responded to as required in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
4 Communicate with track/emergency/ rail safety workers
- 4.1 Communication with relevant track/emergency/rail safety workers is undertaken to ensure they are informed of tram/light rail movements, in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
- 4.2 Alternative communication methods are identified and used when regular communication system malfunctions
5 Implement contingency plans
- 5.1 Contingency plan to suit unplanned track works, disruptions, system failure or fault is identified and actioned in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
- 5.2 Resources to respond to the contingency are arranged in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures
- 5.3 Required communications are established
- 5.4 Tram/light rail service is adjusted in accordance with organisational requirements
- 5.5 Communications with internal and external customers are established and maintained as required
