14.15 CBTC from the start, 28 years of Unattended Train Operation at SkyTrain in Vancouver • Brief orientation and context of Vancouver (location, size, growth);• The 1980 decision to build an automated line (very daring!); some

of the basis for that decision;• Reference to the technology (Thales CBTC SelTrac inductive loop;

linear motor propulsion, etc.);• Initial opening in 1986 for Expo 86 (21 km, 15 stations);• Extensions through today, including Canada Line (separate P3

operation, but still UTO/CBTC), and Evergreen extension (11 km to open in 2016);

• Implications of UTO – more than the obvious; the positive and the negative;

• Public perception and acceptance (people don’t complain directly about the automation and UTO, but they still complain about service);

• Canada Line – different but the same;• Recent and future upgrades – sustaining a technologically

dependent systemB.C. Rapid Transit Company, Ian Graham, Manager, Operations Planning (Expo/Millennium Lines)

14.45 ERTMS Bridging the gap between technology and adoption: a Human Factors case study• Establishing the operational requirements for the transition

between ETCS Level 2 and the Class B train control systems• Establishing the technology requirements for the ERTMS/ETCS

DMI and investigated technology options and the factors that would need to be considered when choosing specific technology

• Identifying the risks and benefits for the integration of AWS/TPWS with the ERTMS/ETCS DMI

15.45 Challenges and successes of Independent Safety Assessment of new CBTC railways • Cost and time effective roll out of multiple CBTC metros – the Chinese

experience• Effective cross acceptance of existing systems• Using the iESM guidance for roll out on a “reference system” approach • Identifying appropriate safety-related constraints TPD Technologies, Paul Cheeseman, Director

16.15 The new European railway world• Liberalization and interoperability concepts • Reasons and the expected benefits • The new process to certify components and systems for ETCS • Situation several years after the first Directives ITALCertifer, Gino Di Mambro, International Business Manager

16.45 A Recipe for Success in Implementing CBTC on an Operating Transit System• CBTC technology is well established as both “service-proven”,

and “safety-proven”, offering operational benefits that cannot be achieved with prior generations of signalling technology

• One of the challenges facing the rail transit industry, however, is how to upgrade to CBTC on an existing, operating transit system.

• Drawing on the lessons learnt from a number of case studies, this presentation will provide “a recipe for success” in implementing CBTC on existing transit lines.
