Step 1: Service in Dec. 2004 with partial ERTMS
– ERTMS fallback:ERTMS L2 HW & SW but with specific dataprep for
use of MMIs & interfaces
– 130 trains in service, 250 trains for Dec 2004.
– Target: 1 min delay per train per week for 12 Dec 2004

Step 2: Full ERTMS L2 functions
– V&T trainborne and trackside passed
– System FAT end of Nov 2004
– Pre system test on site in June-July 2004
– Full supervision
– Entry-exit scenarios
– Integration test IXL-RBC + Trackside-trainborne communication
– SAT System planned for mid 2005
– Safety case “fit” for ERTMS L2 operation end 2005/2006

ERTMS: ALSTOM Experience
Advance position in ERTMS contracts,
strong return of experience on:
Trackside - Trainborne - System Integration

System integration & validation: on-board, trackside & system
First experience on 4 test tracks
Most advanced ERTMS L2 projects

Interfaces RBC:
- Interface developed with ALCATEL IXL (SA-NBS / SBB)
ANSALDO IXL (IHSL / RFI)
Siemens TCCS (SBB)
- Euroradio + standard protocol

Safety case
ALSTOM has a generic safety case being assessed by ISA
(Trackside/Trainboard)

ERTMS: ALSTOM Experience (2)

ERTMS L2 Norms & operational rules:
Strong experience in the process of implementation of rules
and operational scenarios (critical point for operators).

Strong Return of experience on Products :
ERTMS L1: Athens (Operation for Olympic Games)
ERTMS L2: IHSL & SBB
=> Product improvement, including Ergonomic
SBB: Return on experience based on 130 trains in operation

Generic on-board solutions:
- Implemented on various types of trains
- Interfaces developed with - GSM-R networks
- Onboard central units
ALSTOM has now an advanced return of experience in ERTMS as:
- Product provider
- System integrator
22
22
Experience in ERTMS Test Scheme
- RBC interface tests
- Complete subsystem integration
tests
- Integration test of indoor
equipment before site delivery
- Integrated tests to secure delivery
of reliable equipment
Test phase is critical for successful implementation of projects

CONCLUSION
With around 15 ERTMS projects in parallel, among which 5
major ones, ALSTOM has a leading position in ERTMS:
•ALSTOM Baseline SRS 2.2.2 already in hands:
 Strong return of experience through full-scale
tests and operation
•Improved Engineering Processes based on current advanced and
challenging projects
ALSTOM reference solution is in operation
with stabilised generic platforms
