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]
Operational principle of ETCS in mixed operation: NTC and ETCS Level 2. The principle of mixed level signalling is based on simple principles using bi-directional data exchange between the Radio Block Centre (RBC) and the interlocking systems. The operator sets a route and does not need to know if the route will be used for a Level NTC (former ...
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 ...
ETCS is the signalling protocol for the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). This system is commonly known to have three levels: Level 1 (an ATP system only); Level 2 (a virtual block system that can also be provided with Automatic Train Operation (ATO)); and Level 3 (similar to Level 2 but uses moving block and can do away with a ...
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.
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).
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]
