The main functions of 15 railway infrastructure management companies are maintaining of railway infrastructure such as bridges, tracks, tunnels; replacing of turnouts, rails, sleepers; supplementing additional ballast to ensure the smooth status of track, track direction and track geometry. On the whole line, there are 1,790 railway bridges, 24 combined bridges, 39 tunnels and 278 stations. In order to ensure the effective maintenance works, these companies are located based on geographical features of the railway network.

With the efficient investment in purchasing machinery and equipment for track maintenance and repair, the quality of the railway lines and the working condition of railway workers is much improved. The hard works which used to be done manually are being done by modern machinery and equipment such as Plasser & Theuer tamping machines, Matisa recording cars and rail-defect detectors.

In the future, along with the industrialization and modernization process of the railway sector, Vietnam Railways will make full use of its source to purchase more modern machinery, rails and turnouts from Austria, France, etc for the best operation of trains running on our railway network.

SIGNALLING & TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Signalling

Signalling equipments play a very significant part in ensuring the safety of train operation. To be being fully aware of its importance, the leaders of Vietnam Railways have paid a special attention to the improvement and modernization of signalling system by mobilizing funds from domestic and foreign sources. With this investment, the quality of our signalling system has been step by step improved.

Vietnam Railways has carried out some important projects such as modernization of signalling systems on the whole network including Northern lines, Hanoi Junction, Hanoi - Vinh, Vinh - Nha Trang and Vinh - Sai Gon sections. In these projects, modern technology of France, Germany, Switzerland and China countries have been introduced. We have equipped interlocking system in most of stations on the whole railway network and semaphore signal is gradually replaced with colour light signal. In addition, semi-automatic together with automatic block systems are widely used in place of previous token method and automatic warning systems have been installed at 230 level crossings.

Furthermore, Vietnam Railways also attaches great importance to study and test modern technology in the field of train operation such as automatic train control system, automatic train protection system, train location detection system, etc with a view to better ensuring train operation safety, increasing speed and running capacity of the railway network.

With highly skilled and experienced staff, Vietnam Railways has capacity of designing, manufacturing and installing of the total signalling systems including interlocking and warning systems at level crossings by using relay with computer-based control.

Telecommunications

The telecommunications system of Vietnam Railways originally based on Chinese technology and has been upgraded with new advanced technology together with the renovation process of the railway sector. Telecommunication equipments imported from China, France and other European countries are replacing the old ones.

Based on the geographical features of the railway network, the telecommunications system of Vietnam Railways is divided into 05 regional networks including telecommunication for longdistance transmission, administrative works at stations, infrastructure maintenance and local communication.

With our efficient investment, there has been much improvement in the telecommunication system such as transmission and switching systems. Optic fibre cable network for transmission were completely deployed for the sections of Ha Noi - Vinh, Nha Trang - Sai Gon and will be soon installed for Vinh - Sai Gon section. Switching system with digital exchanges exchanges is connected via transmission system and public telephone network. Along with the modernization of telecommunication system, manual exchanges are gradually replaced with the digital ones. Besides, Vietnam Railways employs specialized telecommunication system for dispatching and infrastructure maintenance. Especially, video conference of Polycom (USA) is effectively used for transport management. In case of emergency demand, radio telecommunication system is utilized.

Vietnam Railways currently has 05 railway telecommunication & signalling companies which are located in suitable positions of the railway network to ensure our stable telecommunication service. Furthermore, we also have plan of providing common telecommunication service and taking part in public telecommunication market
