1 Rail Technical Strategy (RTS 2012)

2 Technical Strategy Leadership Group An RSSB-facilitated cross-industry expert group Remit, TOR and funding provided via RSSB Board Takes strategic direction from Rail Development Group Comprises senior executive staff with operational, commercial and technical capabilities Academic and supplier representation Champions the RTS 2

3 RTS 2012 Builds on 2007 version Industry led 30 year vision Transforming the railway Opportunities are huge Quantum shift in the cost base Unlocking capacity to generate additional revenue 3

4 2040: A transformed railway Britain s railway sets the benchmark for service quality, customer satisfaction and value for money by being safe, reliable and resilient, meeting capacity and service requirements and contributing to the growth of the economy. 4

5 Rail Technical Strategy Themes 3 Common foundations 7 Common design concepts Brought together in a vision of the railway in 2040 To deliver the industry s 4Cs 5

6 Six themes Control, command and communication Energy Infrastructure Rolling stock Information Customer experience 6

7 7

8 Intelligent traffic management and control systems dynamically optimise network capacity and facilitate highly efficient movement of passengers and freight 8

9 Objectives ERTMS Automation Intelligent traffic management systems Seamless communications 9

10 Strategy Driver advisory systems Centralised network control ERTMS in-cab signalling Intelligent traffic management systems Automatic driver operations 10

11 Route map DAS Algorithms ERTMS 4G/LTE FuTRO Network capacity Train location 11

12 Supplementary incab driver route knowledge aids Colour-light lineside signals enforced by train protection systems (TPWS, ATP) Supplementary in-cab advisory speed optimisation information (DAS) In-cab movement authorities enforced by ATP (ERTMS Level 2), no lineside signals) DAS connected to Control Centres Basic Automatic Train Operation (ATO). Train follows permitted speed profile. Intelligent Automatic Train Operation. Trains follows optimised speed profiles based on location data etc and on operational objectives set in the control centre. Driverless trains? ERTMS Level 3 Predictive braking capability information fed back to control centre to create true closed loop control system Large control centres with Automatic Route Setting Control Centres capable of interacting with onboard DAS Accurate train location and speed information available in control centres Large automated control centres with wide area conflict prediction and resolution Truly Intelligent Traffic Management TIME 12

13 A low carbon, energy-efficient railway 13

14 Strategy More 25kV electrification Energy-efficient specifications Intelligent traffic management Smart grid technologies Low carbon materials 14

15 A simple, reliable and costeffective rail infrastructure which meets customer requirements and is fit for the 22nd century 15

16 Strategy World-class asset management Future-proofing strategies Embedded sustainable development Cost-saving generic designs 16

17 Mass- and energy-efficient, low whole-life cost rolling stock meets the evolving needs of its customers 17

18 Strategy New technologies for cost and operational improvements Alternative traction power sources Standard architectures for sub-systems Operational capabilities of freight 18

19 Information is a valued rail asset that improves customer services, reduces operating costs and generates revenue 19

20 Strategy Common information architectures and protocols Cross-industry information flow model Exploitation of rail information 20

21 Rail is customers' preferred form of transport for reliability, ease of use, and perceived value 21

22 Strategy Door-to-door journey experience Customer access Health, safety and security risks Information distribution Integrated rail and freight customer information systems 22

23 Whole-system approach A whole-system approach enables the rail industry to implement change easily and improve reliability, availability, maintainability and safety 23

24 Whole-system approach strategy An industry whole-system approach Whole-system modelling capability and tools Aligned asset management plans 24

25 Innovation A dynamic industry that innovates to evolve, grow and attract the best entrepreneurial talent 25

26 Innovation strategy Remove barriers Innovation Capability Maturity Model Level 5 Commercial models for intellectual property Support for innovators 26

27 People Skilled, committed and adaptable people delivering an efficient and customerfocused railway 27

28 People strategy Skills for the future railway A common standard Learning methods Technology for people Automated repetitive tasks 28
