Main elements Elements of the Italian strategy for ETCS implementation Interoperability choices (GSM-R coverage, ETCS level 2 on high-speed lines, SCMT on conventional lines - Rolling stock equipped) Status of the first experiences with ETCS level 2 on the high-speed line Rome Naples and Novara Torino in commercial operation (infrastructure and rolling stock solved and unsolved problems) – Main lesson learnt – Certification and Assessment Status of GSM-R and SCMT on conventional main lines and nodes Extension of SCMT towards ETCS level 1 on Corridors linking Europe (Consequences for balise configuration, How to solve the infill issue) Experiences with GSM-R implementation in the conventional network Challenge in context with European corridors (Add standard ETCS features to track-side SCMT).

RFI migration strategy gives the highest priority to the corridors Elements of Italian strategy for ETCS implementation Interoperability choices 1 RFI migration strategy gives the highest priority to the corridors RFI is carrying out interoperability on the new lines of its High Speed network Considers as essential a quick realization of interoperability on the lines connecting the Italian HS/HC with the European network (Cross border lines - corridors) Interoperability will be afterwards realized on other “Amenagées” lines is going to carry out interoperability also on part of its conventional network General RFI migration strategy to ERTMS/ETCS

On board subsystem and related interfaces approval. Special test tools for monitoring and assessing the functional tests of the specific applications and validate the EVC RBC data preparation process. Qualification of the GSM-R for the specific application of ETCS LEVEL 2. IOT GSM-R for NSS Siemens and BSS NORTHEL integration. … and preparing the Pre-operations phase Increasing train speed tests on the new line - steps: 150, 250, 300 Km/h. Rules and regulation definition and testing. “As built application” final, extensive, field control to authorise the start of pre-operations.
