1 ERTMS the right investment for the future EU Railway Conference Lille, 8 May 2014 Pio GUIDO, Head of ERTMS Unit

2 ERTMS - European determination ERTMS is a major European industrial project EU Political support: nomination of the European Coordinator for ERTMS EU Financial support: Different programmes for initial development; 500 M in the TEN ; Horizontal Priority in CEF EU Legal Framework: HS railway system: mandatory when new/renew/upgrade CR system: obligations in the European Deployment Plan

3 A sustained joint effort EC launch analysis of signalling ERTMS required in legal text 1 st MoU ERTMS Coordinator Version 2.3.0d EU Deployment Plan MoU Baseline 3 Connecting Europe Facility Interop Directive (HS) Interop Directive (CR) European Railway Agency MoU Deployment Plan High Speed in Italy, Spain Conventional Rail ETCS Baseline 3 World wide

4 ETCS Baseline 2 Released in 2008 Stable reference proven in revenue service High Speed Dedicated Freight (Betuwe line) Alpine tunnels (Loetschberg) Suburban network (Cercanias Madrid) More ERTMS km and trains than comparable legacy systems! 4

5 ETCS Baseline 3 Released in evolution, not revolution Based on B2 return of experience All Designer Choices incorporated Harmonized Human Interface (DMI) Standard Braking Curves (freight and high-speed) Upgraded interface legacy systems (STM) Limited Supervision functionality Trains backward compatible with B2 tracks Integrates System Version Management enabling evolution 5

6 2012 ERTMS MoU EC, ERA and Sector agree that: Baseline 2 investment to be protected Baseline 3 is the stable basis for the future Maintenance of specifications is necessary: Error corrections Compatible enhancements Release Planning is the tool to manage it..with the discipline necessary in a shared system 6

7 How the future will look like Standards for TEN-T railway Comprehensive network (by 2050) ERTMS equipment Electrification Core network (by 2030) full electrification freight lines: at least 22.5 t axle load, 100 km/h line speed and train length of 740 m; full deployment of ERTMS; nominal track gauge for new railway lines: 1435 mm

8 Software based system Sustainable system Error correction and maintenance of the specifications based on return of experience Software allows flexibility, enables positive evolution Safety critical system needs adequate culture, know-how techniques and tools to manage software maintenance in an efficient, cost effective manner Shared system Uneven sharing of benefits and costs between RU and IM Trackside implementations drives interoperability Divergent implementations are not acceptable 8

9 ERTMS/ETCS System Version Management Baseline - a stable kernel in terms of system functionality, performance and other non-functional characteristics. Baseline release - a specific version of each of the ERTMS documents that are listed in the TSI annex A System lifetime Baseline n 1 st Dr. Cons. 1 st Leg. Maint. Maint. Maint. X.Y Baseline n+1 1 st Dr. Cons. 1 st Leg. Maint. X+1.0 Baseline n+2 1 st Dr. 1 st Leg. X+1.1 ETCS System version 9

10 ETCS B3 MR1 Content 26 Change Requests (CR), 16 different documents updated All CRs are closed with agreed solutions, except LS, which has different plan (1 week more) RBC-RBC interface (subset-039) Test Cases (subset ) traced to SRS

11 ETCS B3 MR1 Train Interface Subset-119 and -120 delivered by UNISIG: referenced in the Application Guide; available for use in contract - > market opening. interface between two subsystems in the same vehicle -> no interoperability issues. Baseline Compatibility Analysis Required by the MoU Extensive assessment of all the changes from 2.3.0d to Baseline 3 by the best experts available (ERTMS Users Group and UNISIG) started in 2012, supported by TEN-T program. No final report delivered. ERA satisfied that preliminary results confirm robust and correct B3 specifications: only a few issues discovered (and corrected) in more than 400 B3 CRs analyzed. Additional measures recommended for Baseline 2 implementations. 11

12 ETCS B3 MR2 Content Error correction and feedback from first implementations Standardisation of additional interfaces (ATO, DMI-EVC) Enabling technological development (GPRS, Satellite Positioning) Improvement in the testing approach Delivery of MR2 to be managed as a project: - detailed planning - identified resources - management mechanisms 12

13 Making the right investments ERA cooperation with DG-MOVE and INEA on TEN-T funded projects. Technical input to: Call text External evaluation Financing decision Follow-up of funded actions Level of understanding and application of Interoperability Directive and TSI not satisfactory 13

14 What is ERTMS ERTMS is ERTMS is not a shared, new and harmonized system a product or a technical solution ERTMS is based on open source shared requirements for interoperability - ERA web site ERTMS requires discipline and transparency ERTMS means less autonomy 14
