Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage rail network control systems. It includes identifying network control and train control systems and their functions.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Manage network control systems and their components
- 1.1 Purpose of network control systems and their functions are identified and explained
- 1.2 Different types of network control systems are identified and discussed
- 1.3 Components of each type of network control system are identified and explained
- 1.4 Principles and major components of interlocking systems are identified, explained and used as the foundation for decision making
- 1.5 Safety implications associated with different types of signalling and interlocking systems are identified and used as to guide decision making
2 Manage operation of train control systems
- 2.1 Functions of train control systems are identified and explained
- 2.2 Main components of a train control system and their purpose are identified and explained
- 2.3 Interaction of train control systems with rail operations is identified, explained and used as the basis for decision making
- 2.4 Possible impact train control systems can have on rail operations are identified, explained and taken into consideration in decision making
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include demonstration of applying:
required knowledge and skills
relevant legislation and workplace procedures
other relevant aspects of the range statement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
Resources for assessment include access to:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace.
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
Method of assessment
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests.
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace.
