What is ERTMS/ETCS?
New European train control-command system mandated under EU Interoperability Directives
Features:
ETCS (safety critical ATP system)
GSM-R (telecommunications)
HEROE (operating rules)
ETML (traffic management)
Modern and complex - will shape Europe’s railways for next 50+ years

15. One year’s experience No safety relevant failures or incidents
Big learning effect regarding SBB internal processes and procedures (operation, maintenance, exception handling)
Large acceptance with drivers and dispatchers despite many errors and failures during operation
GSM-R works as data link for ETCS Level 2
Important knowledge and insights won for the new high speed line NBS Mattstetten–Rothrist !

16. Problems in the first year
About 60 different sources, such as:
ATP-Subsystem failure modes
EMC interference: Eurobalise antenna – ZUB loops
Onboard radio link
Failures of locomotive related systems
Not optimal ergonomics of the driver-MMI (dark screen)
Availability of the RBC in Olten
Sub optimal procedures in disturbed situations
Device handling errors by drivers and dispatchers
