Status of ETCS on the New Line NBS
_Since 12-12-2004 the line is operational with fallback system (line side signalling) at maximum speed of 160km/h.
_ In May 2005 „Site Acceptance Tests“ of the vehicles has successfully been passed.
_From July to Dec.‘2005 the Level 2 system was successfully tested during days with «Shadow Running»(total of 600 runs).
_From 03-01 of 19-02-2006 system stress test close to timetable has been performed (2100 runs with 8 trains simultaneous).
_End of March 2006 the refitting of the 468 vehicles with ETCS was completed.
Concept for commissioning:_2nd July 2006: commercial operation in off-peak hours._December 2006: full commercial operation at maximum speed of 160 km/h._December 2007: full commercial operation at 200km/h.

Concept of Commissioning ETCS Level 2 on NBS
Specification of the 1st series of time-table train runs:
_A total of 2100 train runs were performed during 43 nights
_Using a specific time-table based on 2 minutes headway and 125 km/h maximal speed
_Test fleet was composed of 8 locos and accomplished 95 ’000 km in total (all locos simultaneously on NBS)
_ETCS took over full safety responsibility
_During day time 3 train sets performed additional runs on the re maining network, for the purpose of endurance testing

Aims of Time-Table Train Runs
_To gain an impression about system stability under target operat ional conditions.
_to apply operational measures: out of course runnings (train delays), number of safety cut-outs of ETCS trackside equipment.
_to detect any system anomalies which were not revealed during pr evious test campaigns (i.e. one-loco field test).
_to familiarise a broader group of operational staff with the handling of ETCS systems.

Status of ETCS on the New Base Tunnel LBL
_Development and testing of signalling system is on time.
_A dedicated test track (1200m) outside the tunnel is being operated for system testing. Interoperability tests between Alstom onboard and Alcatel trackside have successfully been performed.
_Approx. 10’000 train runs have to be performed until December 2007 to proof the robustness of the ETCS system.
_Until end of 2007 a total fleet of 553 vehicles will be fitted with ETCS for operation on NBS and LBL.
Concept for commissioning:_May 2007: reduced commercial operation (cargo trains)_December 2007: full commercial operation (110 trains per day,
mixed traffic)

Lessons learnt from the ongoing Projects
_Successful implementation of ERTMS/ETCS needs an overall system-leadership managing the integration process and taking care of both, track-side and on-board system.
_To provide compatibility between different suppliers,«Bug fixings» has been urge required to get the current ETCS project into operation (SRS2.2.2. à SRS2.3.0).
_To implement interoperability on the TEN-T corridor projects, enhancements in functionality (e.g. national parameterisation of braking curves, crypto key management, RBC-RBC handover) are required in the specification (à SRS3.0.0).
_ERTMS is an IT-based technology to be implemented in a safety-relevant railway environment. This requires new skills, new processes and training of the system operators.

ETCS strategy and rollout planning
Driving Factors of the Strategy
Requirement: Higher speed, shorter headways and need for capacity increase require cab-signalling and traffic management system.
Journey timeCapacity
Network Access
Requirement: Fastest possible transition to «ETCS-only» onboard equipment.
Interoperability
Requirement: Interoperability on the North-/South corridor to be achieved until 2012.
Renewal of signalling system
Requirement:The legacy signalling-systems are getting obsolete and has to be replaced.
14
ETCS strategy and rollout planning
Targets of SBB Strategy
Target to be achievedNew vehicles will only require ETCS onboard equipment for unrestricted network access.
è Generation of customer benefit
Action to be doneNational legacy system will be replaced and standardised by ETCS on the entire network.
è Implementation within short period

Mid-term Focus: Replacement of Legacy System
Targets until approx. 2015
_Commissioning of ETCS Level 2 on new Gotthard Base Tunnel (53km)
_Replacement of legacy system ZUB/SIGNUM on entire network by ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision
_First application of ETCS Level 2 within nodes/hubs.
18
ETCS strategy and rollout planning
Lessons learnt from 1st Migration Steps
_ETCS has to generate benefits for the operators as soon as possible. Thereby reduction of equipment cost is the overall objective.
_Funding of onboard equipment must be considered together with the first ETCS projects. Otherwise migration may fail and ETCS would not be accepted by the operators.
_ Infrastructure managers have to define a migration-strategy that shows the transition to ETCS on the entire network. Thereby ETCS has to fulfill at least technical interoperabilityat the same level of safety as the existing national signalingsystem.
_The corridor approach shall be used as the inception kernel followed by the rollout on the entire network. Leanings from one corridor project should be assigned to the others.
_The first implementation of ETCS must not be the one for the next 100 years. An intermediate solution may be useful for transition to the final Level 2 or 3 implementation.

Benefits of ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision
Advantages for Train Operator
è Simplification of onboard equipmentFor the rolling-stock, Limited Supervision supports the aim of reducing costs for the onboard equipment, means reducing the transition period where both ETCS and national systems are required.
èClear operational rulesThe main difference between ETCS Full Supervision and LS is the suppression of cab signalling information. For this reason the driver is responsible for obeying the line -side signals as well as other information generally needed for driving according to national rules.
èNo impact on existing installationsThe introduction of the new mode ‘Limited Supervision’ requires just minor modifications in the specification and will be implemented together with the next release of ERTMS (SRS 3.0.0). All existing ETCS-installations will not be influenced by this new mode.
24
Benefits of ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision
Business case for Infrastructure-Managers
è Technical InteroperabilityThe basic aim with this new ETCS mode is to create the possibili ty for equipping dedicated lines and/or nodes with ETCS track -side equipment in short time with a minimum of costs so that technica l interoperability with ETCS equipped trains is obtained.
èAdaptation to existing infrastructureETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision may be overlaid to an already existing signalling infrastructure. Existing Interlockings, line-side signals and cabling are not touched.
èUpgradeabilitySunk costs will be minimal, when at a later occasion, e.g. in context of a complete renewal, ETCS with Full Supervision will be instal led on those routes.
è Functionality and safetyETCS with Limited Supervision will provide at least the same functionality and safety level as the already existing national signalling and cc-system.
25
Benefits of ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision
Business case for Industry
èGenerating volumesThe quick implementation of Limited Supervision will generate additional new projects on infrastructure as well as on train operator side. The sooner ETCS is available on the network, the more operators are equipping their trains with ETCS.
è Simple implementationThe additions are mostly limited to the already existing mode- and mode transition tables in chapter 4. Only a few additions have to be studied and added to the other chapters.
èNo new principlesThe changes follow the basic concepts of ERTMS/ETCS, especially the already defined modes Full Supervision and On Sight, no new principles or concepts are introduced. The changes are defined from an ERTMS/ETCS point of view and not as a national solution.
26
Benefits of ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision
Limited Supervision: a Win-Win Approach
Train Operators:
Faster transition to ETCS-onlyInfrastructure Managers:
More ETCS for the money
Win-Win
«Limited Supervision» is requested to be implemented together with the next specification of ERTMS (SRS 3.0.0).
27
Main Conclusions
è ETCS Level 2 will confirm it’s operational fitness and performance on the NBS by end of 2006.
è Application scale and performance requirements (mixed traffic, 2 min. headway @ 200 km/h) will provide a reference for many other ETCS applications on conventional rail in Europe.
è The key investments for fast implementation of ETCS on the entire network in Switzerland are done. More than 500 vehicles are already equipped with EuroCAB and EuroRadio.
è Implementation of ETCS happens with ‘customer focus’: infrastructure provides an attractive ‘ETCS-only’ access on the whole network, including stations.
è The north-south corridor approach will generate the first benefit for cargo operators from 2012 on.
