Abstract: In Indonesia, there are various interlocking systems of signaling system that have been installed. According to controlling coverage, the electrical signaling system consists of distributed interlocking type such as Solid State Interlocking (SSI), and centralized interlocking type such as Vital Processor Interlocking (VPI), Westrace, SIL, MIS-08, GL-1 and etc. Moreover, the interlocking system in Indonesia can be classified into relay based interlocking, programmable logic control (PLC) based interlocking, electronic based interlocking and combined based interlocking. In other hand, there are some conditions of Indonesia that appears failures of the equipment. The conditions are social and environmental circumstances of Indonesia such as vandalism, heavy rain and especially large and frequent lightning have caused failures of interlocking devices. Based on analysis of configuration, we recommend interlocking requirements for Indonesia. The requirements are using centralized interlocking type and relay interface for connecting indoor and outdoor equipment. It is supposed to minimalize the failures that caused by the conditions.
