1 Definition of Israel Railway Network Environment

1.1 Current and Future Network Layout

1.1.1 The Israeli Railway Network line length is about 680 km.

1.1.2 At present, the Israel Railway Network is undergoing a development

process. New lines are already under construction:

1.1.2.1 Fast Track to Jerusalem “A1 line”: Tzomet Daniel – Jerusalem Ha’Uma

1.1.2.2 Akko – Karmiel

1.1.2.3 Haifa Center HaShmona – Beit She’an

1.1.2.4 Ra’anana to Coastal Line

1.1.3 Alongside network growth, several actions are being planned and/or

performed with the aim of modernizing the network and improving its

efficiency, such as the deployment of a modern railway electrification

system (1x25 kV AC) which will cover 420 km of the network, and the

procurement of new electrified rolling stock able to work with said

electrification system.

1.1.4 In the near future – after completing the new lines - line length of the

Israeli Network will be about 800 km with electronic and relay

interlocking, electrified lines and 1435 mm of standard gauge. The future

total track length is about 1500 km. This number includes the tracks of

both directions and some station tracks. The network is centred in



4

Israel's densely populated coastal plain, from which lines radiate out in

many directions.

1.2 Signaling system

1.2.1 The Israeli Railways Network is currently divided into two main areas:

North and South. In the North from Nahariya Station to Shfaim Station,

stations are operated under SpDrL72-2 Relay Interlocking. In the South

from Shfaim to Be’er Sheva, Thales ESTW L90 IL electronic interlocking

systems are installed.

1.2.2 Regarding field elements, there are two main train detection systems

installed coexisting in the Israel Railway Network:

1.2.2.1 50 Hz Track Circuits

1.2.2.2 Axle Counters

1.2.3 Both systems have been supplied by Thales and are used to detect the

presence of the trains within defined sections of track.

1.2.4 ISR is planning to improve the train detection system by substituting 50

Hz track circuits for axle counters.

1.2.5 There are technical buildings which are located on platforms near the

railway track in all the stations of the Israel Railway Network in order to

house the different equipment related to Signaling and Fixed

Communications.

1.2.6 As a backup energy system, there are batteries providing at least 8

hours of uninterruptible power service.



5

1.3 Automatic Train Protection

1.3.1 Israel Railways currently uses INDUSI, which belongs to the ATP class

of systems.

1.3.2 INDUSI facilitates inductive coupling and consist of two components,

namely a track-borne and a train-borne magnet. The first one is directly

connected to a pre-signal or a main signal. The magnet is located in a

light-metal housing which is “electrically open” to the top. Its oscillating

circuit is tuned to a frequency of 500 Hz or 1000 Hz or 2000 Hz.

1.3.3 Depending on the signal’s aspect, the track transponder is short-circuited

or active. The train-borne magnet is connected to an AC generator on

the train and permanently sends out electromagnetic waves of 500 Hz

and 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz to the floor. When a train is approaching an

active track-borne magnet, a current is induced and energy is detracted

from the train-borne unit.

1.3.4 In consequence, a corresponding action is triggered. This way a

unidirectional transmission from the track (the signal) to the train is

implemented. In its basic position, the track-borne magnet is active.

1.4 Fixed Telecommunications Network

1.4.1 ISR owns a SDH network based on fiber optics.

1.5 Mobile Radio communications



6

1.5.1 There is a VHF radio communication system that will remain as the

GSM-R back-up system.

1.5.2 There is an iDEN Mobile Public Network in the cabin that is used for

redundancy to the VHF radio. The iDEN will be removed by ISR when

the entire GSM-R network will be implemented.

1.6 Network Traffic Control Centre

1.6.1 The Network Management and Traffic Control Centre (NTC) are located

in Haifa Hof Ha’Carmel station and use Thales technology. This is the

system in charge of collecting information related to the operating status

of all wayside track elements, such as switch operation, track section

occupation, identification of the train that occupies each track section.

1.6.2 A new NTC will be located in Lod and is currently under construction.

1.7 Power supply systems

1.7.1 All current lines in the Israeli Railway Network are not electrified but ISR

is contemplating the modernization of the current network and, actually,

the future lines which are under construction will be 1x25 kV 50 Hz

electrified.

1.7.2 Despite the future electrification of the line, power supply will be provided

by the Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (IECO) even after electrification.

1.8 Rolling Stock

1.8.1 Relevant rolling stock to be considered.

20

3.7 Frequencies

3.7.1 Even though the immediate frequency range been assigned to ISR for

the GSM-R system in Israel is:

3.7.1.1 Uplink: 893-897 MHz

3.7.1.2 Downlink: 938-942 MHz

3.7.2 However, due to future plans of the Israeli Regulator to modify the

frequency band for ISR usage to be assigned in the future extended

European GSM-R band; all equipment, including specifically the BTS RF

amplifiers and duplexers, should work in advance in the following

frequency range:

3.7.2.1 Uplink: 873-908 MHz

3.7.2.2 Downlink: 918-953 MHz

3.7.3 The Contractor is required to introduce all the technical and financial

implications in case the frequency band is moved.

4 Functional Structure

4.1 Layer model

4.2 The GSM-R system will be constructed over a layer model which varies in

function to the signaling system that will be deployed in the different ISR

railway lines:

4.2.1 The Contractor will plan and built BTS sites for double layer coverage for

all ISR lines.



21

4.2.2 ISR will instruct the contractor which line to operate with double layer

coverage or single layer coverage.

4.2.3 The contractor will construct, install and operate each line, according to

the ISR instructions.

4.2.4 The single layer model will be constructed in a way that will facilitate its

future upgrading to a double layer model as fast and cheap as possible

without disrupt the operation of the existing single layer.

4.2.5 In the single layer model, as well as in the double layer model, standard

cells will be “composite type”. Thus, all the carriers (if more than one)

from one BTS are split before feeding the two antennas (each pointing to

a track direction). By doing this, the number of handovers is greatly

decreased.

4.2.6 For the double GSM-R layer model, the following features must be taken

into account:

4.2.6.1 Each layer must be independent, with no common points of possible

failure between the two layers

4.2.6.2 Each layer must be calculated to bear the whole voice and data traffic

of the whole network required in the coverage area of those two layers.

4.2.6.3 In a scenario without any failure, each layer will be dedicated to each

railway direction.

4.2.6.4 With failure, the train will continue the call using the other layer until the

end of the line and will not return to the original layer even if the original

layer recovers.



22

4.2.6.5 Each BSC will be connected to each MSC and the two MSC will

connected between them.

4.2.6.6 Each layer will have its own Base Station Subsystem and its own

Network Switching Subsystem. Thus, two BTS networks will be

constructed, two BSC and TCU will be installed at the NTC (one in Atlit

and one in Rosh Haain South) and two MSC with the necessary

satellite modules will be installed at the NTC (one in Atlit and one in

Rosh Haain South, or in any other location up to ISR decision.

4.2.6.7 For example, for the interleaved solution, every cell of one layer should

be radiating between two cells of the other layer, in an interleaving

scheme (except in specific situations, such as final stations or

significant facilities). This is in order to avoid coverage holes in the case

of single failure.

4.2.7 The following diagram explains this

configuration:



23

4.3 Quality of Service parameters



24

4.3.1 The Contractor must accomplish the minimum requisites in Quality of

Service (QoS) taken from Euroradio FIS, EIRENE and Israeli regulations
