The context: Mission Interoperability in the words of

European Coordinator Mr Karel Vinck

Deliver a trans European rail service:

Recognised as competitive with the other modes of transport

Excellent in terms of safety, punctuality and reliability

supported by:

A systematic pursuit of the best cost-effective performance

A financing plan of the investments fairly shared by the Member-States, the infrastructure companies, the railway undertakings and the European Union

An ambitious investment programme in infrastructure and rolling stock, based on the coordinated implementation of ERTMS

The challenges The opportunities

New InteroperableInfrastructure to be built

Existing infrasctructure to bemade interoperable

The Signalling problem

8

A non-interoperable legacy: Signalling

9

The past: only ad-hoc route specific

solutions

210

The Interoperable solution: ERTMS

11

ERTMS and ETCS

ERTMS European Railway Traffic Management System

ETCS European Train Control System

12

ERTMS is the Automatic Train Control system

developed by the 6 major European signalling

companies

13

ERTMS is a failsafe system that protects the

train travel

14

ERTMS is composed by trainborne

equipment and trackside equipment

15

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 bothConventional and High Speed

16

The Three Levels of ERTMS

17

ERTMS Level 1

18

In ERTMS Level 1 Track to Train data is transmitted

via standardized transponders : the Eurobalises

319

Eurobalises are installed along the tracks and

connected to the existing signalling system

23

ERTMS Level 3

24

Example of ERTMS Level 3 signalling

25

Why the law enforces ERTMS?

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

26

ERTMS: Where is it used?

Fitting of new high speed linesand trains

Retrofitting of conventional trainsfor interoperable service

Retrofitting of conventional linesas overlay on the existingsignalling system

Signalling Rehabilitation

New Relay Interlocking with Electronic Man-machine Interface

Automatic block system tailored on new line layout

Indusi ATP for existing trains

ERTMS Level 1 for interoperable trains

Multiple speed signalling code

41

Signalling Rehabilitation

Replacing of:

Level Crossing

All signalling Cables

Point Machines

Track circuits

Power supply units

42

Signalling Rehabilitation: Ansaldo Scope of

Work

The Consortium Ansaldo - ISAF (Romanian Partner of Ansaldo) will be in

charge of the signalling rehabilitation.

Ansaldo will provide Electronic Man Machine Interface for Interlockingand ERTMS Level 1 system

43

Electronic Man Machine Interface for the

Interlockings

44

The Operator Terminal function for the

Traffic Manager

allows the Traffic Manager to enter commands in the system using the mouse (or touch-screen) and a graphic interface with windows

45

Traffic commands via the icons it is

possible to

Command the formation and cancellation of Routes Command the formation and cancellation of Shunting Routes Handle points Handling main signals Command shunting signals Manage level crossings Manage track circuits

646

The flexibility of the Terminal function

makes it possible to

Customize the Detailed Layout Handle equipment commands Handle individual device

commands Handle targeted device auxiliary

commands Handle device-related alarms

47

For example, clicking on the button

associated to point management

48

an interactive window is activated listing the

controllable devices and the possible commands

49

the graphic aspect of representation of points

change depending on their status

50

A functional keyboard is also present

for emergency operations

as an alternative to the Operator Terminal

51

The list of alarms is available on all the diagnosis

and maintenance posts, providing

time of onset identification of the component in alarm alarm description type of alarm (onset unknown, onset recognized, withdrawn) alarm status alarm severity

52

The SimPC tool has been developed in order to

realize an interface dedicated

to run command, control and diagnosis functions of the components

53

Using only the keyboard and the mouse, the operator can

navigate inside the equipment

down to the single device controller and can view in detail..

the diagnosis of the supply units,

the state of insulation of the yard cables,

Device Controller information from the system database (rating plate data),

graphic diagnosis of the diagnosis variables of the Device Controller,
