everywhere

- ERTMS with the first RBC connected through the
GSM-R network, - first world demonstration of level 2 in November
2000, - UIC world conference and train runs in March
2001, - the first step towards implementation of ERTMS on
commercial high-speed lines.
- ERTMS applied together with the installation of
new Interlockings, - several releases in connection with the needs for
several specific requirements, including dual
signalling, specific degraded modes, light rail
operation,...

- ERTMS to be tested with STMs for KVB
(conven-tional Network) and TVM
(High-Speed-Lines), - the first world demons- trations (and subsequent
applications) of ERTMS together with existing ATP
through the use of STMs, - level 1 and 2 to be demonstrated.
- ERTMS Levels 1 and 2 type testing in preparation
for roll out on UK WCML - will permit 225 km/h for Virgin Trains
Pendolino tilting trains (with TASS) - dedicated 6.5km test track with 4 types of
interlockings 4 types of overhead line, 5 types
of train detection as used on WCML
- Britains busiest rail corridor,
- over 2000 trains / day,
- 1000 routes, 3000 track x km,
- 1500 trains used on the line,
- 15 train operators,
- accessible to 16 million people,
- 5.5 billion freight gross tonne x km / year.

Higher safety, higher capacities, less equipment
compared with existing technologies
- Only one on-board computer, and only one
man-machine interface (6 on-board signalling
systems in the cab of Eurostar trains, 8 in
Thalys PBKA), and there will be only one
integrated ERTMS system.
- Interoperability for cross-border operation.
- Safety, especially in countries like UK where no
serial ATP exists right now most trains are not
equipped with any train protection system in the
UK. - From low-density traffic lines applications to
complex stations and high-speed lines, safety
will be improved. - Capacity ERTMS has 3 different levels 1, 2, 3.
From level 2, an important advantage comes from
the increase of the capacity of traffic. - Availability through standardisation, compared
with more customised products. - Cost-effectiveness though product approach same
product for any operator.
CENELEC standards are now also the rule with ETCS
products These mean a strong unity for Europe
and in the world. On another side, the safety
Case issue has not yet been standardised in
Europe Cross-Acceptance is still not an easy
process.
