1. SATLOC – state of the art George Barbu – Union Internationale des Chemins de Fer Satellite based operation and management of local low traffic lines

5. Results after tests in the railway environment Accuracy: 4-6 m; <1m with augmentation; 2-5 cm with RTK or LRK techniques Coverage: total is possible with sensors, but accuracy degrades on long dark zones Integrity: 2,5.10^-7, but in railways this maybe not always sufficient for the highest integrity applications P error <10^-9 is possible with additional sensors (e.g. Route Map)

6. Aim: proof of evidence that GNSS based absolute train location and speed determination is compliant with requirements for signaling and with train control functions (ETCS) Objectives: –Live demonstration on LTL of train control, full speed supervision, traffic control and traffic management based on GNSS – concrete technical solution based on industry supply –Proof of feasibility of using carrier independent communication (use of public networks @ marginal cost) –Full specifications of Concept, ORS, FRS, ARS, SRS and methodology for validation and certification –Reference methodology for performance and safety (until SIL4) assessment of GNSS based absolute positioning –Economic evaluation, proof of concept export on any railway line –Migration strategy to ETCS: GNSS-based train end localization (train integrity) level 3 with full interoperability with ERTMS Regional Aim and objectives

7. High innovation – close loop control Accreditation of innovatation change of mentality 7 Train and TCC control reciprocally -Train sends each 5 s PVT -TCC real time emulates the train run under the MA data -Train OBC executes the MA -If MA execution fails, TCC sends EB High operational safety is enabled by this reciprocal control when both OBC and TCC are qualified at minimum SIL 2 Advantage: low cost on highest operational safety

8. SATLOC reference architecture

10. Results @ date All specifications are concluded – available on the UIC SATLOC extranet and on the EC/GSA project site Technical design of the pilot line is ended Three equipment sets are completely provided Software products are validated Two running trains are fully equipped 10

11. Results @ date Test specifications are elaborated and agreed with the user and the CFR Safety Authority and Notified Body – full flexibility for safe adapted use is available TCC (RBC) center in Zarnesti is operational The train – TCC mobile data and voice connections are operational: -Via VPN-Secured link for data transmission in GPRS 3G / 4G coverage is also available (full IP, VPN based on the SEC-IP-VPN protocols in the VODAFONE Network – second provider OTENET is prepared for full availability) -- Voice over other channels (normal 3G/4G) in a different VPN for secure availability of transmission Real scale tests with running trains have successfully ended Validation, certification and commissioning are ongoing 11
