Glossary The biggest chapter is the one about the functions, including a verbal list of all function-requirements. C8

5 Part of the introduction for FRS ersion 4 of ERRI/A200 The modularity of ETCS makes the railways capable of equipping their lines and trains to different levels depending on requirements to safety, performance and capacity, all based on cost benefit analysis. -ETCS is capable of being a train protection system without cabsignalling and even not fail safe -ETCS is able of being a train control system, fail safe and with cab signalling -ETCS is capable of enabling the railways to replace the lineside signals with cab signalling -ETCS is capable of equipping secondary lines, main lines and high capacity lines to different levels according to the operational needs -ETCS is capable of equipping single objects on a line which is not equipped. C9 Structure of chapter 4 functions : 4. Functions 4.1 Operational functions 4.2 Infrastructure functions 4.3 Trainborne functions 4.4 Special operations 4.5 Functions required in the event of incidents and other (non ETCS) system failures 4.6 Protection functions 4.7 Train control centre functions 4.8 Additional functions 4.9 Functions primarily related to RBC (Radio Block Centre) C10

6 Definitive Functional Requirements Specification FRS ersion 4.29: UNISIG classes the functional requirements into the parts mandatory, optional und trackside. The mandatory functions are based on the following criteria: uniform approach about the function function is necessary for fundamental Train Control function necessary for protecting passengers or goods leave-out of a function in ETCS could not be adequate prescription or be compensated by technical mean C11 Operational function: Shunting Emergency break applies when passing Supervised national speed or default speed Shunting movement Danger for shunting C12

7 Operational function: partial supervision (1) Start station of the train Driver selects partial supervision Static -profile Signal information received Partial supervision Full supervision C13 max of the train static -profile Operational function: Partial supervision (2) X sec For driver to acknowledge Partial supervision Emergency break will apply if driver does not acknowledge max of the line Full supervision Partial supervision C14

8 Operational function: Full supervision track train Static profile train distance C15 Operational function: Compatibility with existing Train Control/Protection System 1. National information received by national antenna 2. National front- end module translates national information in ETCS information 3. Protection of the train at least as safe as in national operation mode C16

9 Infrastructure function: End of movement authority Static profile Dynamistic Profile calculated backwards from the danger signal C17 Infrastructure function: Supervision of driving into a section of track which could be occupied static profile of train Dynamic -profile of train MMI Special indication defined level C18

10 track Trainborn function: Static speed profile calculation train Track dependent Reduction C19 Trainborn function: Static Profile Dynamic speed profile calculation Dynamic Profile of the train Train length Train length Train length Train length C20

11 Trainborne function: Release speed calculation (1) Static Profile of the train Possibility to release speed Safety distance overlap Dynamic profile release at released overlap release with overlap release max C21 Trainborne Function: Release speed calculation (2) New static profile received at the signal Signal clears in front of the train Release profile Existing dynamic profile overlap max after receiving new information C22

12 Trainborne function: Train location Reference point for calibration of distance measurement Error of odometry + - C23 Trainborne function: Roll away and reverse movement protection Emergency break applies 2 m Master switch in forward C24

13 Special operations: Using multiple traction units Signal has changed to danger after the first traction unit has passed C25 Special operations: Using tandem traction units Advisory indication Normal indication MMI MMI Signal has changed to danger when the second traction unit passes C26

14 Protection functions: Emergency alert message to train (s) RBC can send emergency signal: - to all trains - to all trains in a selected area - to a selected train C27 Functions primarely related to RBC: Shunting area shunting movement supervised - no overriding of the shunting area - no overrun of max max for shunting Shunting area C28

15 Structure of the System Requirements Specification of ETCS (Subset 026 of the ERTMS/ETCS - Class 1 Specifications): Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Basic System description Chapter 3: Principles Chapter 4: Modes and Transitions Chapter 5: Procedures Chapter 6: --- Chapter 7: ERTMS/ETCS language Chapter 8: Messages Subset 023 contains a table for terms and abbreviations C29 train driver downloading unit FFFIS FIS STM TIU BTM kernel LTM MMI ETCS Onboard Unit Euroradio Data recording Odometer GSM-R Mobile unit airgap National System Eurobalise Euroloop Interlocking and LEU Remote control centre Euroradio radio- Infill unit Euroradio GSM-R fixed network RBC 1 Key RBC 2 Management Centre ETCS wayside equipment C30

16 Functional Interface Specification FIS The FIS guaranties the functional(logical) interoperability. Typical example: MMI For interoperability it is necessary, that the same information is visualized in one quality at the same time. The kind of visualisation is is not important. C31 FFFIS Form Fit Function Specification Typical Example of a FFFIS: Eurobalise The interoperability must be guaranteed at the air gap. C32

17 List of defined interfaces: Air gap for Eurobalise and Euroloop (FFFIS) Air gap for Euroradio (FFFIS) STM interface (FFFIS) Interface for reading of juridical recording (FFFIS) Train interface (FIS) Driver interface MMI (FIS) RBC-RBC interface (FIS) Interface for key management (FIS) C33 ETCS level 0 (Driving on lines without ETCS equipment) Eurocab Track occupancy detection interlocking C34

23 Basic principles The following functions are independent from the ETCS level of application: Method for Balise and radio data communication Method for train position message and registration Movement Authority Line description Special operation modes (shunting, etc.) Help-Functions (RBC-RBC changeover, ersion- Management) Dynamic - measurement By this it is possible for the onboard-system to upgrade (first equip level 1 and later level 2 )and to downgrade (level 2 onboard-system can run on level 1 tracks) the running level. C45 Co-ordinate systems Odometer co-ordinates Balise co-ordinates 0 0 C46

24 Examples for a functionmethod: Train position message: Always related to a Balise 7 positioning parameters are sent LRBG OOrientation backwards nominal d) Train direction related to the LRBG against same Active cab c) LRBG Identity f,g) Speed/ direction a) Supposed driven distance e) Nominal and reversal directions b) Confidence Interval LRBG: last relevant Balise Group C47 Movement Authority The authority to move is limited in distance or in time and distance. Authority to move is transmitted by Interlocking Radioblock-system ETCS ETCS The Movement Authority contains the Balise ID, distance, time- limit, overlap and target-speed ( in case of radio- transmission there are some more radio- specific elements) C48

25 Examples for a function- method: Extension of a Movement Authority by radio (0) (1) (2) (3) Section(1) Movement Authority 1 submitted by Balise Group (0) as LRBG Section (2) MA 2 submitted by Balise Group (0) as LRBG C49 Speed profiles static speed profile depends on: Basic profile Train characteristic Track characteristic Operation situation Dynamic speed profile is calculated out of: Static profile Movement Authority Gradient Train characteristics C50
