6 6 SCENARIO: Motivations The need to improve railway network performance and reliability is increasing Projections*: +30% growth of total freight transport volumes (short and long haul) by 2030 NEED Railway is looking for precise and robust tracking solutions to trace freight train across the whole railway network (across national or network boundaries) to improve the system reliability and the safety of vehicles transporting dangerous goods * White Paper, 2011 SUSTRAIL final meeting Brussels [21th May 2015]

8 8 Reference framework ERTMS*: European Rail Traffic Management System Sub-systems: GSM-R (Global System for Mobiles Railway): International wireless communication standard for railway communication and applications. Based on public standard GSM with specific rail features for operations. Countries standardized: Australia, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, UK Mainland. ETCS (European Train Control System): signalling, control and train protection system designed to replace the many incompatible safety systems currently used by European railways, especially on high-speed lines. ETML (European Traffic Management Layer): operation management layer intended to optimise train movements by intelligent interpretation of timetibles and train running data. * SUSTRAIL final meeting Brussels [21 th May 2015]

9 9 Reference framework Reference projects: Satellite navigation seen as key element technology for ERTMS to monitor exact location of each train in real time 3INSAT *: Introduce a train monitoring and control system, based on State Of Art European and international regulations (ERTMS/GSM-R standard requirements). Objective 1: implementation of integrated solution based on combination of satellite and terrestrial communication to link on board train control system and ground-based infrastructures. Objective 2: development of Location Detection System (LDS) prototype using GNSS and ERTMS functions to safely** train localization. SATLOC**: development and demonstration of proof of concept for train * ** *** based on SIL4 safety requirements integrity with GNSS, as enabler to the ERTMS/ETCS level 3 application and benefit the project ERTMS Regional.

10 10 Market Inputs* Railway Growing interest in GNSS as a complementary technology for safety related functions** GNSS is becoming a standard feature in non-safety applications. Railway lines are a challenge for GNSS because of high safety requirements, combined with a challenging environment (tunnels, covered stations, deep cuttings, etc.) However, integrated solutions combining GNSS with other technologies such as inertial navigation systems and traditional odometry can provide a good level of coverage. This is particularly the case for applications resistant to small periods of * source: GNSS Market Report issue 4, 2015 reduced accuracy. ** How Heaven Could Support European Train Control System (ETCS), GSA Head of Market Development Gian-Gherardo Calini, Brussels SUSTRAIL [21th May final 2015] meeting

11 11 Market Inputs* GNSS in Railway GNSS-assisted applications: Asset Management, including functions such as fleet management, need-based maintenance, infrastructure charges, and inter-modal transfers GNSS as a standard source of positioning and timing information in these systems GNSS is a source of additional input, e.g. for enhanced odometry in European Train Control System (ETCS) or Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) supporting Positive Train Control (PTC) * source: GNSS Market Report issue 4, 2015 Brussels SUSTRAIL [21th May final 2015] meeting

12 12 Market Trends* GNSS in Railway - Trends In the future, a train is expected to detect its own position, through different technologies (e.g. RFID and GNSS). This position will then be reported to the signaller and movement authority will be displayed on in-cab signals, removing the need for costly lineside signalling infrastructure. For safety related applications, professional receivers are expected to be used. Mass-market receivers are generally used in non-safety applications and are therefore not designed * source: GNSS Market Report issue 4, 2015 specifically for Rail. Brussels SUSTRAIL [21th May final 2015] meeting

13 13 Market Trends* GNSS in Railway Main current use it is in passenger information systems Other non-safety critical applications (asset management) are becoming significant The majority of new trains include GNSS systems for non-safety related functions 30% of trains worldwide will be equipped with GNSS for some by 2022 Most devices are likely to be non-safety critical in the short to medium term, however, GNSS devices will increasingly support safety critical functions * source: GNSS Market Report issue 4, 2015 Brussels SUSTRAIL [21th May final 2015] meeting

14 14 Enabled Applications SPARTACUS enables GNSS assisted applications in Railway* Asset Management, including functions such as fleet management, need-based maintenance, infrastructure charges, and inter-modal transfers GNSS as a standard source of positioning and timing information in these systems GNSS as a source of additional input for signaling/control system Safety applications thanks to the implementation/adaptation of professional GNSS devices, data analysis and data handling * source: GNSS Market Report issue 4, 2015 SUSTRAIL final meeting Brussels [21th May 2015]
