Automatic Car Identification (ACI) – provide design, installation and testing for 50 RF scanners at 23 locations throughout the metro system. Twenty of these locations will utilize wireless radio communications to relay data from the wayside back to OCC (operations control center). The other 3 locations will be hardwired. The collected data will be used to track vehicles along the system which ultimately result in mileage calculations to be used by maintenance and OCC.

B&C Transit is designing, furnishing, and installing a computer based control center for both yards. Systems consist of 4 UNIX redundant hot failover servers, 13 workstations and printers, 8 LCD overview monitors,  and 8 video servers over T1 and fiber optic LAN.

MARTA- B&C is responsible for design and procurement of equipment for replacing AC track circuits. B&C is also responsible for modifications of existing TC rooms, field testing and cutovers.

B&C is currently designing and installing new AC & DC ground detectors to replace outdated ground detectors.

Design, furnish, startup, and test wayside cases to control freight rail, light rail and drawbridge.

Design, furnish, startup, and test wayside cases to control freight trains and new Cantilver drawbridge over the Islais Channel for the Port of San Francisco.

B&C Transit provided all personnel to supervise installation, conduct field surveys, make all field design modifications, and perform all commissioning for Union Switch & Signal, Inc.

Completed a 5 monitor stand alone system with graphical representations of the entire Sacramento Light Rail system. The system retrieves GPS latitude, Longitude, Direction, and Speed of rail cars and maps them on the track displays as they move throughout the transit line. This system integrates with a Microsoft SQL database residing on the IT servers.

Sequential Occupancy Detection System. B&C Transit completed office systems for 24 locations to detect occupancies from MUX inputs and shadow trains with pseudo occupancy (rear end protection) using dynamic logic within redundant system servers at each TCR location. SORS computers integrate with Allen-Bradley PLC’s and send all information to the Central mainframes at BART Central via BARTNET (Ethernet IP) for display on on all BART graphical mainline systems.

B&C Developed a conversion tool to allow Boolean expressions to be converted to Ladder Logic graphics and vice-versa for Union Switch & Signal vital and non-vital processors.
