ERTMS / ETCS Project
- History & Need for signalling systems harmonisation
- Stakes and challenges
- Documents & Processes
- Main players
Architecture of the ERTMS-ETCS system
- Onboard components
- Trackside components
- Operational ETCS Levels: 0, 1, 2, 3 and NTC
- Driver Machine Interface (DMI): Standards, ETCS information layout
- Trackside equipment: How to use it?
- Principles of movement authorities and infill in Level 1
- Principles of movement authorities and position reports in Level 2/3
- Case study: Simulation of Transition from Level 1 to Level 2
- Operational modes
DAY 2: Applications
- ERTMS / ETCS processes: Procedures - National values - Operational rules
- Braking curves & Supervision of train movements
- Case study: Simulation of braking curves & supervision limits
- ERTMS / ETCS language: Eurobalise, Euroloop, Euroradio messages, packets, variables
- Applications in Europe and worldwide - Deployment of ERTMS
- Future versions & Trends
- Case studies: Simulation of ETCS levels 1, 2, 3 (start of mission, limited supervision-LS mode, etc.)
