Development of Construction Railway Operation Control System for Overseas Track Laying Projects—A Case Study of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Project in Malaysia

一般铁路铺轨工程由于规模大、轨行设备多、交叉作业繁杂等特点，使得其在轨行设备行车调度管理和施工安全方面存在安全隐患。而在海外铁路项目实施中，作业人员普遍为当地及第三方劳工，安全意识较为薄弱，因此提高工程管理质效、保障人员及轨行列车安全尤为重要。本文以马来西亚东海岸铁路项目铺轨工程为例，将工程行车调度指挥系统运用于铺轨工程，并对具体方案进行研究，借助信息化手段，在组织、时间、专业三个维度进行扩展，打破施工现场与调度管理间的信息传递壁垒，有效降低行车安全事故，提高调度管理效率，为海外铁路铺轨施工提供参考借鉴。Generally, railway track laying projects are inherently prone to safety risks in construction railway operation due to their large scale, numerous locomotives and track vehicles, and complex interconnected operations. In overseas railway implementations where the workforce predominantly consists of local and third country laborers with generally weaker safety awareness, enhancing project management efficiency and ensuring personnel and rolling stock safety become particularly crucial. Taking the track laying of Malaysia’s East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Project as a case study, this paper implements an construction railway operation (CRO) control system in track laying construction operations and conducts in-depth research on specific implementation schemes. By leveraging IT solutions to achieve three-dimensional expansion across organizational, temporal, and professional domains, the system breaks down information barriers between construction sites and CRO control center. This approach effectively reduces railway accidents, improves dispatching efficiency, and provides valuable references for overseas track laying project.
