6. Automatic Train Protection - an interoperability obstacle
ETCS substitutes ALL European legacy systems
Includes almost all features of all (European) legacy systems
Can cover all national (European) operational conditions
Provides Multi-sourcing - Avoid Vendor Lock-In
Future proof – roadmap established for future evolutions
But does it satisfy RU railway needs?
What are the specific requirements of RU railways ?
Technical backgound, why ETCS is worldwide successfull
