( E T C S G S M R )

• Simplification of cross-border transport
  services with direct trains
• (Benchmark locomotive change and/or
  multiple on-board system
• packages for crossing system interfaces)
• Cost savings resulting from use of less
  expensive train control
• technologies, infrastructure and vehicles,
  at least in the long term
• (harmonisation, standardisation, competition,
  production quantities)
• "ERTMS is not an end in itself, but only a means
  to an end - its success must be measured by its
  effectiveness."

• Railways basic needs for the interoperability
  (ERTMS/ETCS applications)
• To guarantee their consultation and coordination
  with each other as a whole
• To exchange information and recommendation among
  the different railways companies (IMs and RUs)
  and institutions (CER-EIM-ERFA), in order to
  express a unique, agreed railways position
• Way to satisfy the identified basic needs
• To integrate all the ERTMS aspects into a
  common Platform.
• Common Platform main topics
• alignment and coordination of the various
  railways activities and tasks,
• management of some tasks like
• Improvement, rationalization and diffusion of all
  the ERTMS/ETCS information, especially the ones
  related to the applications experiences,
• definition of the methodology for the costs
  evaluation,
• users indication for the medium / long term
  signalling standardization strategy for the
  interoperability
• Forecasted results
• To produce, also by the support of the EEIG
  ERTMS User Group, the basic findings to be used
  as railways recommendations for the European
  railways bodies formal decisions

Overriding railways objective To safeguard
increase the competitiveness of the rail system

• Raise not endanger the output capacity of
  system/lines/nodes.
• Cost-benefit analysis limit additional
  expenditures.

• adopting Version 3.0.0 for European mainlines
  (output capacity)
• using Version 2.3.0 as a means of proceeding
  towards Version 3.0.0
• gt whilst simultaneously with different
  solutions in corridors, but meeting
• the compatibility criteria
• gt key aspects e.g. braking curves, level
  crossings, start of mission (under ETCS)

• Adapting to existing, non-harmonised
  technologies in
• operational environments make migration
  difficult
• (must be taken into consideration, however).
• Exploiting full range of capabilities of ETCS
  technology
• (options directed to the common goal of
  standardisation
• i.e. while also accepting compatible interim
  stages).
• Taking tolerable restrictions for fleet
  operators into account
• (corridor deployment, logical migration
  stages).

Summary Main goals

• To Clarify technical facts/maturity and To
  disseminate information
• To Co-ordinate railways position in the
  relation with the Industry
• To give the requested support to the EC
  activities for the migration

11
Summary Main Action

• SRS 2.3.0 Determine definitive content and
  confirm practicality of application in
• combination with producer/system needs.
• SRS 3.0.0 Preparation /clarification (in
  parallel with SRS 2.3.0 action)
• Interoperability task force/support group per
  corridor with cross comparison and
• correlation of results
• Migration tools to be clarified together with
  their use/benefit
• - Limited Supervision Radio in-fill STM etc
• Synchronize migration plans on corridors
• System interfaces onboard/track
  side/interlocking
• Systems costs (benchmark and general strategy
  for reduction)
• - Opening of the Interfaces definition of
  modules use of the EU finance.
• System evolution (ETCS/GSM-R, GPRS)
• GSM-R Frequencies MoU
• Satellite applications in the railway system
