This ETCS Level 2 installation was the pioneering ETCS installation in Switzerland. Technical problems with the new ETCS technology caused ETCS operation to be put off past the planned starting date. February 2006: ETCS Level 2 is finally installed on the Mattstetten–Rothrist line. ETCS Level 2 operation was fully implemented in March 2007. [167]
Many new ETCS lines in Europe are being created and then it may often be preferred to implement ETCS Level 1 or Level 2 only. With this implementation strategy the wayside signalling cost is kept to a minimum, but the vehicle fleet that operates on these lines will need to all be equipped with ETCS on board to allow operation.
Its main components are the European Train Control System (ETCS) and the GSM-R communications system. [1] ETCS is a standard for track-train radio communications using balises (Eurobalises) and associated in-cab train control, [2] while GSM-R is the GSM mobile communications standard for railway operations. ERTMS can operate at different levels ...
The ZUB 123 system is now considered by Banedanmark, the Danish railway infrastructure company, to be obsolete and the entire Danish rail network is expected to be converted to ETCS Level 2 by 2030. The ZUB 123 system is however not used on the Copenhagen S-train commuter network, where another, incompatible safety system called HKT (da ...
This system was commissioned in 2023 across nine stations, with promising results. FTIA is also developing a multi-vendor solution for future ERTMS/ETCS-level 2 lines. Austria (ÖBB): ÖBB is specifying and tendering the next generation of digital interlockings across Austria, based on EULYNX specifications. Negotiations are set to begin in 2024.
ERTMS Regional is a simplified and low-cost variant of the European Rail Traffic Management System suitable for train control on lines with low traffic volumes. [1] It is intended to reduce the amount of lineside and equipment required, thus reducing costs, increasing reliability and improving safety for track workers. [2]
English: Change of directions under ETCS Level 2 (with three train units, six European Vital Computers): Step 1: In "Stand-by" mode (SB) the six ETCS on-board computers (EVCs) supervise train stand-still. Step 2: After opening cab A in section 1 and train data has been entered, all other EVCs of the train will switch to "Sleeping" mode (SL).
GSM-R, Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway or GSM-Railway is an international wireless communications standard for railway communication and applications.. A sub-system of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), it is used for communication between train and railway regulation control centers.
