1. Introduction
1.1 Project backdrop
The objective of this Project is to provide public transport services to passengers travelling within the area
of King Abdullah Financial District, using the KAFD Monorail System.

Such system will comprise a one track line in circular configuration, totally elevated with a satisfactorily
level of integration into the whole KAFD development, buildings, hotel complexes and street network.

The Monorail System should be a state of the art ultra- modern urban transit system, with air conditioned trains
and stations, in keeping with the image of the KAFD Development. One major characteristic and challenge of
this project is the integration of the stations inside buildings.

In addition as monorail technology is a quite small segment of worldwide mass transit system there are only a
very limited number of major and strong manufacturers with quite proven and proprietary solution.


1.2 Purpose of the document
This specific technical document specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture, delivery,
installation, testing and commissioning of the communication systems and all associated systems and
components of the KAFD Monorail Transit System Project.

The relevant document describes the performances and the requirements of the communications system.
This description takes the reference the preliminary operation plan. Accordingly, Contractor shall have to
also refer to this document.

Except Radio equipment used by Riyadh Police, the Employer and its Consultant have deployed their
utmost efforts to produce a flexible tender documentation, although the specific technical documents
attached herein may seem at times rather restrictive. It is stressed that the intended procurement process
shall be driven mostly by functional and performance requirements. While certain clauses prescribe
specific values, characteristics or solutions to be conformed to by the Contractor, it is understood that
these specific requirements represent the current state-of-the-art adopted by the industry and should be
read as a reference.

Should the contractor feel disadvantaged because of a harsh or unnecessary requirement, he is invited to
raise his concerns to the Employer and offer alternative solutions. The Employer will favourably consider
alternatives that strictly match the intended functional requirements without compromising essential
factors such as RAMS and aesthetics.

4. Generality
4.1 Global overview
The proposed communications systems shall consist of modern, reliable equipments based on proven
technologies to provide high quality, redundancy and reliable services.

The Communication System for the KAFD Monorail Transit Line shall consist of:

- the Multi Service Network (Data Transmission Backbone),
- the Public Address (PA) System,
- the Passenger Information System (PIS),
- the Telephone and Ancillary (TEL) System,
- the Intercom system, the Voice recording system,
- the Radio System,
- the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) System,
- the Video Broadcast System (VBS),
- the Video Recorders System,
- the Fire Alarm and environmental System (FAS),
- the Access Control System (ACS),
- the Clock System,
- the e-mail system.

Each subsystem is connected to the Data Transmission Backbone.

4.2 Performance

The Communication System shall be a highly resilient system in order to grant an availability level close to
100%. There shall be no single point of failure in the Communication System which may result in loss of
essential communications such as important voice and data communications and CCTV surveillance. All
essential equipment and their transmission links, including their power supplies, shall be duplicated where
required. The Contractor shall advise what will be the essential equipment in the proposed
Communication System.

4.3 Approvals and authorisations

The Contractor shall be responsible for liaising and interfacing with the relevant Telecommunication
Authority of Riyadh for applying and obtaining all approvals and authorisations required for the
implementation and operation of the proposed Communication System (radio frequencies as an example).
The Contractor shall provide all design data and any other information as may be required. The
Contractor shall bear all fees and charges associated with the applications, obtaining the approvals, and
operations of the proposed system including licence fees, connection and leasing fees, etc. until system
handover.

4.4 Supervision
All communications sub-systems (PA, PIS, CCTV, Radio, Access Control, Clock systems,) will be
remote-controlled and monitored from the OCC. This will be operated on separated workstations or on

workstations used for SCADA system. All failures/alarms will be directly reported and logged to a
database.
Software used for the configuration and monitoring of the networked equipment shall use Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). English only or English/Arabic languages will be used for MMI software.

4.5 Global constraint of installation or operation
Communication system will cover all areas (Trains, Stations, Tracks, Depot / Workshop / OCC).
All employed materials must be adapted to a railway environment. They must have been already used
successfully in comparable systems and networks, including in the field of harsh weather conditions
similar to Riyadh.
Telecommunication devices will be installed preferably in dedicated technical rooms (about 100 m) or at
least in common technical rooms with low voltage systems like signalling, fare ticketing when there is no
matter with this location in the same room. Any equipment, whether in public areas or not, that is exposed
to the external ambient conditions shall be sealed to IP65. If they are not exposed to the external ambient
conditions, they shall be sealed to IP55. All equipments shall be readily accessible for replacement or
maintenance as appropriate.
The proposed Communication System shall facilitate future expansion and integration with existing and
future transit systems. The Contractor shall describe how these are provided in the proposed system.
Actually, a global minimal reserve of 20 % in systems is required when no more important percentage is
clearly wanted in this document.
All public area equipment shall be selected, constructed and mounted in such a way as to architecturally
blend in with its surroundings and be vandal proof. The Contractor shall describe how all the
communication systems can be integrated into a single architectural fixture. Equipment shall be designed
and installed so that they can be effectively isolated for maintenance or other purposes without affecting
the performance of the rest of the system.

Great attention is drawn to the interfacing with architectural works and any other subsystem that may
affect the all telecommunications subsystem installations layouts to ensure a consistent design approach
within the public areas (no cables shall be exposed, special design integration for antennas, cameras,
loudspeakers, etc).

5. Multi Service Network (MSN)

The MSN shall provide the different types of data transmission facilities for voice, data and video, to
support the fixed communications for all communication or not systems and subsystems (radio, PA,PIS,
CCTV, Access Control, signalling, Power Supply,.). Actually, it will principally be used for transmissions
between the OCC room and distant sites (depot and stations).
5.1 Architecture

The MSN will cover the whole monorail system, i.e. stations, depot, OCC building with two rings of fibre
optic links and will be fault tolerant. A Cable cut or an equipment failure must have no influence on the
global MSN operation and performance.

This MSN will consist of two sub-networks that must be totally separated:
A first one is used for data transmission needs of all KAFD systems except the e-mail and ticketing
systems. There is no link with outside KAFD transmission systems.

A second one is dedicated to the e-mail and ticketing systems with links to outside KAFD transmission
systems (web, internet). There must be no link with the first sub-network. For redundancy reasons, some
user systems like SCADA may also use this second sub-network in order to have a link on each MSN
sub-network. Actually, when a node in station/depot/OCC is out of order, there is yet an active link on the
second node that allows the system to remain active.
This separation intervenes mainly for security reasons. In fact, data transmitted on the first sub-network
must be protected so that nobody outside the KAFD monorail system can have access to them (hackers
by example).
The two sub-networks will be based on the Gigabit Ethernet standard. The Contractor will be responsible
for fixing the bit rate. Actually, it must include bandwidth for all data transmissions on each sub-network,
with a spare capacity for future extensions of 50 %. Whatever, bandwidth must be at least equal to 1
Gbit/s.
5.2 Optical fibre

To interconnect the gigabit Ethernet nodes, optical fibre cables will be used. Monomode fibre (ITU T G
652 D) will be deployed.
Each MSN sub-network is supported by one optical fibre cable, all along the line (stations, OCC and
depot). These two optical cables must be absolutely independent with no common way wherever on the
line.
These cables, compliant with IEC 60794 requirements and others specifications presented in dedicated
parts of this document, will consist of 24 fibres at least with a reserve of 50 %, separated in different
tubes, by example 4 tubes of 6 fibres each. Each fibre and tube must comply with a colour code to allow
the easy identification.
Cables will be deployed along the guidebeam to form a complete ring. In stations and building, two
separated ways must be used for cable entering the technical room and cable going out of the technical
room. 15 meters of cable must be set in reserve when entering or leaving the station or building to allow
future repair operations on cables
Cables will be connected on connection points which allow separating upstream and downstream
directions of the cables. Moreover, the cable connection points for first and second sub-network must be
clearly segregated.
5.3 Gigabit Ethernet nodes

In each station, depot, OCC and more generally in each location where needed, an industrial gigabit
Ethernet node, compliant with railway environment (shock, vibration, electromagnetic fields, surge
voltages), will be installed for each sub-network.

Standard interfaces are required. Consequently, Fast-Ethernet 10/100 base T, RJ 45 ports for connecting
system subscribers will be used. The number of RJ 45 ports must be adapted to the location where the
node is located and the number of required connections. This number will be fixed by the Contractor,
including a reserve of 30 %. Actually, nodes for data transmissions must present at least 48 RJ 45 ports
and nodes for e-mail sub-network must have 24 RJ 45 ports at least. Unused ports must be disabled.
Each node must also present 2 single-mode optical ports to connect to other nodes.

Each node will present diagnostic Led's indicating power, link, data status, errors.


Nodes can be configured either with a laptop directly connected to the node or thanks to a remote
connection (like telnet as an example) from an authorised distant laptop or workstation. All Configuration
information will be stored in one or several files that can be easily transmitted in the flash memory of the
node.

Virtual LAN will be created to separate the transmissions of each subscriber system, so that it is possible
to set a bit rate limit to each sub-LAN, to procure priorities, and to secure global transmissions. TCP/IP
protocol will be used for transmissions.
Thanks to the ring structure and the use of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), the reconfiguration
time in case of cable cut or node failure must nod exceed 0.5 second ( second).

When necessary and more particularly in case of lengths exceeding 100 meters between gigabit nodes
and equipment that must be connected to them, additional industrial Ethernet switches may be deployed.
These Ethernet switches will present equivalent characteristics. Otherwise, it may be used optical cables
with electrical/optical modem at each extremity when necessary but this will not be the basic rule.
5.4 Supervision
The system shall include Network Management Systems (NMS) using SNMP for each sub-network. NMS
will be located in the OCCs building, on SCADA workstations or on separated workstations. In this last
case, one workstation for each network will be provided.

The NMS shall provide control and configuration of each sub-network system, maintain configuration and
routing data base for all network elements, gather and log alarm events from the network element and
generate performance statistics (Quality of Service QoS), system availability and performance.

NMS shall provide complete transmission network reconfiguration facilities in case of interconnection link
failure or traffic overrun. Any change in the configuration (hardware, software and parameters) should be
kept in log file for roll back and future investigation. The log file size should be configurable (minimum 2
months capacity).

19.2 Interface requirements
The communications subsystems as described in the above chapters require a high level of availability.

Therefore highly reliable physical communication equipment shall be used in an architecture providing the
highest availability, so that all functions can withstand the loss of one device without being reduced. A
backbone loop-shaped multi-service communication network is the most common solution to reach the
common communication requirement. The Contractor may submit other solutions, showing the
advantages over a multi-service backbone principle.

The many interfaces between equipment of a subsystem, and between subystems, require all the
equipments to be synchronized. The Contractor shall submit a highly reliable and easily maintainable
synchronizing solution.

19.3 Protection against Risks
The equipment shall be sturdy and suitably protected against corrosion according to the requirement set

The greatest number of connection points with is in-plant manufactured so as to facilitate on site assembly
and limit possible errors.

Cable junctions (sleeves) are prohibited. Cables are round and shielded (no flat cables) and, in all cases,
are fitted to connectors or connection terminal strips.

Between the remote transmission terminal strips and the interface terminal strips in the workstation,
linking is provided with jumpers mounted in plastic channels.

Channel strips are protected against accidental metal contact. The screwed side is of easy access from
the front door of the rack.

19.7 Ease of Maintenance and Repair
The following information mainly applies to non-standard equipment to be designed and developed by the
Contractor.

Each subassembly is fitted with all indicators required to control its good operating status (including circuit
breakers and fuses) which enable, in the event of a fault, easy detection of failures. The subassembly
consists of functional components providing for easy reconditioning by standard replacement.

If equipment is mounted in sliding units, this equipment must be connected to the fixed frame by means of
removable flexible bundles.

Repair work by a standard replacement must not require any additional adjustments either on the
modules or the cards replaced as well as on the remainder of the installation.

Electronic cards of the same type are interchangeable and do not require any technical interventions. For
accessible cards, the address must be coded on a fixed part so that the replacement of this card cannot
entail wrong addressing. Address coding must be made in such a manner that it cannot be inadvertently
modified.

All electronic cards must be designed for operation on an extension card.

During any transitory operating mode related to repair (cut-off of power, inputs, disconnection or
reconnection of the unit, fuse blowing) no wrong information should be sent by this system.

If there is the possibility of confusion, in given equipment item, between two or more component parts, it is
necessary to include one or more positioning systems. These positioning systems must be made so as to
make wrong connection between several component parts of the equipment impossible, whether during
assembly or during maintenance work.

19.8 Electrical Protection of Circuits
All mains in-comings may be considered as being protected against short circuits by means of the
equipment upstream circuit breaker, as described in this specification.


On the other hand, the Contractor shall be responsible for the following:

- Protection of the various circuits so as to provide maximum independence. Wherever possible,
independent circuit breakers shall be used wherever that is possible (thermal stop circuit on a
base with a triggering pushbutton). The use of magnetic - thermal circuit breakers is strictly
forbidden.
- Protection against over-voltages. In particular, the Contractor shall take all necessary
precautions to ensure galvanic insulation of circuits so as to prevent feed-back of potentials
which could prove dangerous to the low-power equipment.

No circuit breaker shall be common to two or more units likely to provide autonomous service. In technical
rooms, there will be one circuit breaker for each Telecom system described in this document at least. The
number of circuit breakers shall be limited to the minimum compatible with:

- Maintenance facilities,
- Safety.

All cabinets present a general circuit breaker.

Calibration shall be sized so that occasional over-voltages that the equipment can support shall not entail
blowing of fuses or triggering of circuit breakers.
Apparent parts of connections (terminal strips, terminal plates) must be protected against short circuit
hazards caused by awkwardness.

Apparent parts of power supply connections (230 V) shall be protected with covers.

Sockets will be previewed in technical rooms and in each cabinet.

19.9 System Self Monitoring
The system performs permanent self monitoring in order to detect any incidence affecting it.

Automatic diagnostics of failures shall be cyclically activated and shall make it possible to control the good
operation of certain peripherals and components. A self test shall be activated, especially during power up
(memory test, inputs and outputs). These test procedures shall also be activated on request from the
OCC or from the station (good operating check after repair without calling up the OCC).

Monitoring shall more especially cover:

- System power supplies (including the 230V),
- The temperature with automatic stopping in the event of operating threshold overshooting
(thermostat operating directly on the power supply),
- Input/outputs (parallel/series: link monitoring),
- Memories (RAM test at initialisation, check board, RAM test as background task, etc.),
- The software (hardware and + software watchdog).

This list is not comprehensive and the Contractor is free to propose, to the Engineer, any other tests he
considers useful. In his response, he shall specify all his projects in this domain.

Each anomaly detected during these tests shall be displayed locally by an indicator or by any other
display device on the equipment as well as in the OCC at the NOC on the alarm centre dialogue device.

Alarm and power on displays shall be via light emitting diodes (LEDs).


Any anomaly or event useful for failure diagnostics shall be time dated and stored:

- I/O status changes,
- Technical alarms,
- System faults,
- Other events to be defined during the analysis.

Within the 3 following days it shall be possible to resituate the above information on request and via an
appropriate dialogue (status consignation function with on-request printout).

19.10 Markings
All components shall be carefully marked and clearly identifiable at assembly and at subassembly level.

This description especially applies to equipment with a front panel fitted with devices (indicators,
pushbuttons) and racks located inside equipment.

For equipment mounted in the cabinet, a "scotch-call" type marking shall be glued to the inner-side of the
door. This equipment plan shall specify the exact identification and location of the various subassemblies
mounted in the cabinet (cards, power supplies, connectors, terminal strips).

In this case, outside the cabinet, a label shall be placed so it is possible to determine to what category the
equipment belongs and give its number or its name, as a function of the drawing records.

In each rack, the miscellaneous components (cards, power supplies, connectors, terminal strips) shall be
marked with their name on the front side.

Each terminal, wire end, indicator, relay, fuse, circuit breaker, test point, shall be marked.

Connectors shall be coherently marked (male side and female side).

Especially, cables shall be marked with the number given on diagrams. The etiquettes must be
dilophane or metallic type or equivalent type.

19.11 Rack extensions

Racks installed are fully wired in the plant to maximum capacity and must be suitable for an immediate
expansion of at least 20%. In this manner, expansion shall be limited simply to the addition of a card
(within the 20% limit). Beyond this 20% limit, expansion shall entail the addition of an entirely wired
expansion rack or an additional cabinet. In this manner, on-site interventions in the event of expansion are
limited as far as possible.

19.12 Power Supplies
Power supplies shall be sized to take the maximum capacity of equipment into account (reserves
included) and correctly protected (cut-off in the event of output surge, over-current protection). Power
supplies shall be separated from the electronic part and correctly isolated. Voltages must be accessible
via test terminals. Adjustment systems shall be accessible when the power supplies are in operation on
the system. Power supplies shall be standard, easy to procure from the standard market, fitted with screw
terminals and fuses or circuit breakers, very easy to remove and of easy access.


19.13 Cables and Connections
The cables characteristics (bending radius, cross-talk, etc.) shall be submitted to the Engineer for
approval.

The maximum continuous current-carrying capacity, the maximum permissible conductor temperature and
the factors for determining such rating and temperature and physical protection for all cables shall be

the central equipments, located at the OCCs technical room, will be laying inside metallic cable tray

installed at track beam level, with a protection against the sun. Cables shall be suitable for continuous
operation in the Saudi Arabia environmental and climatic conditions

Cables or wires in factory assembled equipment racks and also in equipment module interconnections
housed in self contained and fire compartmentalised spaces within the OCC and the Depot are exempt
from this requirement.

The Contractor shall only propose the use of cables or wires that have been in use in comparable
applications and shall have a service life expectation of at least 40 years excluding those cables installed

resistant cables designed to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions.

These cables shall be resistant to flame temperature of 950 degree C for 1 hour minimum and to water
spray.

Wires, cables and cable cores, which are individually terminated on terminal blocks, shall be individually
identifiable. As an exception to this, in situations where radial daisy chain or ring main circuits are to be
run in their own dedicated duct (e.g. lighting circuit), it shall be sufficient to identify the wires, cable or
cable cores at the feed end only.

Within equipment racks and equipment modules, all wires, cables, cable cores, terminal blocks and
terminals shall be identified where practical to enable safe and efficient maintenance practice.

Cables through wall or floor openings, inside ducts or trucking shall have fire barriers installed to maintain
the required fire rating.

Where control wiring is run in a conduit not readily accessible, or if the control wiring runs exceed 15m,
then a minimum of 20% spare wires shall be run with the active wires.

DC cables shall be connected directly to the respective equipment. Other connections from main cabling
runs to equipment located on the track-side shall be made via disconnection boxes and tail cables. Tail
cables running along the track-side shall not have any jointing.

Conductors of power and control cables shall be copper complying with recognised international
standards.

Proposals for joints in cable runs between stations shall be submitted to the Engineer on an individual
basis.

Any joints or connections in cable runs shall not be permitted within enclosed conduits and trucking.

Any joints and connections shall be located such that they are readily accessible for maintenance
purposes.
