1 ETCS Migration and the Impacts on Railway Transport Markets Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Miroslav Obrenovic ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 1

2 Content Railway research at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Initial situation Opportunities and threats of ETCS migration Market considerations, macro-economic benefits LCC as crucial economic figure Development and evaluation of migration scenarios Conclusions ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 2

3 Holistic view on operational, economical and safety aspects of train automation Interoperability Safety Operating procedures and evaluation Economical evaluation, migration and LCC GALILEO applications Validation and testing Validation Interoperability Efficiency ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 3

4 Initial situation regarding interoperability Interoperability of railway transport in Europe is affected by several technical and operational obstacles Track gauges Braking curves Electrical power supply systems Height of station platforms Maximum track gradients Etc. Most significant lack of standardisation more then 20 CC-Systems lead to fragmentation of the European railway landscape ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 4

7 ETCS different technical and functional levels Providing technical interoperability v supervision Data transmission spot cont. spot cont. UNISIG Level 1 LS Level 2 Level 3 Functional Requirements High-speed lines Rail freight lines Feeder lines Low-density secondary lines ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 7

8 Migration of ETCS motivation and opportunities EU Directives 96/48/EG und 2001/16/EG Interoperability / impacts on railway operation and macroeconomics Market for signalling systems Harmonisation and standardisation of technologies Barrier-free access to the European railway infrastructure Seamless cross-boarder traffic Decrease of transport time Operational performance of European railways RAMS aspects / increase and harmonisation of the safety level in Europe Microeconomic impacts, LCC RAMS: Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 8

9 Migration of ETCS barriers and threats EU Directives 96/48/EG und 2001/16/EG Interoperability High invests / impacts for the track on railway and train-side operation ETCS and equipment macroeconomics Market Capable for national signalling CC-Systems systems (in some countries ) Barrier-free Migration process access cost to the and European time railway infrastructure Seamless National cross-boarder legacy systems traffic with their long life cycles Expensive parallel equipment during the migration period Decrease of transport time Certification process cross acceptance Harmonisation and standardisation of technologies Operational Interoperability Operational performance of the railways European subsidies for IM and TOC RAMS Positive aspects economical / increase effects and harmonisation realised mostly of in a the long safety term period level in Europe Microeconomic impacts, LCC RAMS: Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 9

10 ETCS - main conditions for the success Optimal migration Efficient crossboarder operation Low LCC Macro economic aspects ETCS as technological platform ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 10

11 ETCS as a driver for global optimisation To increase performance and competitiveness compared to road, various issues are to be addressed on defined corridors Railway Operators Organisation Infrastructure Investments ERTMS / ETCS Logistics Rules and Regulations ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 11

15 Conclusions ETCS aims to provide technical interoperability of European railways Basis for operational interoperability still has to be carried out European and national subsidies are necessary to accelerate the deployment of the system In order to improve efficiency and competitiveness of the railway system, ETCS has to address following issues Improvement of operational performance ETCS as driver for global optimisation Micro and macro economical benefits, sustainable decrease of LCC Optimal migration strategies Migration ETCS Migration > 06 October 2006 > 15
