European Train Control Systems Today

ETCS Objectives Interoperability (e.g. cargo: Sweden-Italy; high-speed passenger transport) Increase in safety (e.g. England) Increase in transport capacities (e.g. Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands) Reduction of travel times (e.g. Spain or high-speed line HSL-Zuid) Reduction of life-cycle costs for signalling systems (e.g. Switzerland)

The ETCS Specification SRS 2.0.0 and subdocuments (2000 pages) adopted on 25 April 2000 by the European railways and signal manufacturers (now updated to 2.2.2) Basis of the pilot projects and first commercial implementations To be legally binding for high-speed lines (EU Directive 96/48 and TSI) To be revised after submission of the results of the pilot lines (validation) and clarification of unresolved points Revised version to be included in the CENELEC standard UNISIG

ETCS ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 Balise onboard Overlay to existing signalling system Uses balises and optionally loops or radio for infill Lineside signals are usually retained ETCS onboard Balise

ETCS ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 Balise onboard Overlay to existing signalling system Uses radio (GSM-R) and fixed data balises Lineside signals can be suppressed ETCS onboard Balise

ETCS ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 Balise Integrity onboard Requires no underlying signalling system Uses radio (GSM-R) and fixed data balises No lineside train detection required Integrity ETCS onboard Balise

ETCS Level 1 - System Components EVC (European Vital Computer) Driver's MMI Location case Lineside Electronic Unit LEU EUROBALISE Vehicle antenna Radar EUROBALISE EUROLOOP

ETCS Level 2 - System Overview ISDN GSM-R ETCS on-board unit Signals (optional) Balise Track vacancy detection ATP (optional) Adjacent RBC RBC: Radio Block Centre ETCS Inter-locking
