The challenges The opportunities

A non-interoperable legacy: Signalling

The past: only ad-hoc route specific solutions

New Interoperable Infrastructure to be built Existing infrasctructure to be made interoperable The Signalling problem

The Interoperable solution: ERTMS

ERTMS and ETCS

ERTMS is the Automatic Train Control system developed by the 6 major European signalling companies

ERTMS is a failsafe system that protects the train travel

ERTMS is composed by trainborne equipment and trackside equipment

ERTMS is the system to be used in Europe by law

Directive 96/48/EC Interoperability of TransEuropean High Speed Rail System Directive 2001/16/EC Interoperability of TransEuropean Conventional Rail System Unified by 2004/50/EC: identical requirements both Conventional and High Speed

The Three Levels of ERTMS

ERTMS Level 1

In ERTMS Level 1 Track to Train data is transmitted via standardized transponders : the Eurobalises

16

17

18

Eurobalises are installed along the tracks and connected to the existing signalling system

Why the law enforces ERTMS?

ERTMS: Where is it used?

ERTMS Systems: the Ansaldo References

ERTMS allows the uninterrupted travel of passengers and goods through national boundaries ERTMS is standard for Europe so it opens the European market for railway products ERTMS increases the capacity of existing railways ERTMS improves the Safety of existing railways

Fitting of new high speed lines and trains Retrofitting of conventional trains for interoperable service Retrofitting of conventional lines as overlay on the existing signalling system

Each single LEU is normally integrated in a station rack which contains up to 8 LEU modules (parallel inputs or serial inputs) or in a lineside cabinet which contains up to 2 LEU modules (parallel inputs)

Station LEU rack is a complete and independent platform for inside installation (typically relay room) with LEU modules, input (from IXL) output (to balises) adaptation and isolation modules, local and remote diagnostic modules, power supply unit.

Lineside LEU cabinet is a complete and independent platform for outdoor installation (tipically near a signal, RR crossing, ) with LEU modules, input (from lineside signalling apparatus) output (to balises) adaptation and isolation modules, local and remote diagnostic modules, power supply unit.
