ESC/RSC checks 3.1. Use of this document Infrastructure Managers, with the support of the ETCS and/or GSM-R suppliers for their networks, shall submit to the Agency the definition of the necessary checks (as defined in CCS TSI [1] section 4.2.17) on their network by 16 January 2020 at the latest. For submitting the ESC-RSC, please send it to us by e-mail: [email protected]. After an IM notifies ERA of an ESC/RSC Type, the Agency should make sure that the information received is correct and complete, in which case the Agency will assign a unique identifier to each ESC/RSC type which will be communicated to the Infrastructure Manager. The Agency will provide an interim updated version of the technical document containing all the ESC/RSC checks submitted up to that moment (pending further revision) notifying the IM within 5 Agency’s working days. These values will be in status “reserved” until the complete revision by the Agency. Only the ESC/RSC identifiers with “valid” status shall be considered as “published” to fulfil the CCS TSI requirements (e.g. Table 6.3 and Table 7.1). 1 OJ L158, 15.6.2016, p.1. 2 At the time of publishing this document, the latest amendment is Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/387 of 10 March 2020 (OJ L73, 10.3.2020, p. 6.) 120 Rue Marc Lefrancq | BP 20392 | FR-59307 Valenciennes Cedex 4 / 22 Tel. +33 (0)327 09 65 00 | era.europa.eu EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR RAILWAYS ESC/RSC Technical Document TD/011REC1028 V11.0 The format of the identifiers will be: <ESC or RSC>-<Member State code or EU for more than one Member States codes>-<00 two digits sequential numbering>-<In case of RSC V for voice and/or D for data>-<Specific coding provided by the IM>. As example: ESC-FR-01-AA. The Agency will proceed to publish regularly updates of the document at the Agency website and to inform the relevant working parties, to allow the sector (especially the VA applicants) to plan their activities accordingly. The new version published will include all the ESC/RSC Types notified and checked by ERA until the publication date. The corresponding identifiers will be also included in the predefined list of values to be selected in RINF and ERATV. The IM will be informed when this is available Infrastructure Managers shall classify the lines according to ESC/RSC types in RINF, using the provided identifier. ERATV users shall also include the ESC/RSC types that have been checked for the vehicles, using the identifiers in the technical document. Infrastructure Managers shall submit to the Agency any changes on the referred checks for their networks, by using the same email ([email protected]) and making reference to the modified ESC/RSC type. The latest version of the files with the definition of the checks corresponding to each ESC and RSC types submitted by each Infrastructure Manager can be found in the Agency webpage under the section ERTMS: - ETCS System Compatibility: https://www.era.europa.eu/content/etcs-system- compatibility-esc-documents - Radio System Compatibility: https://www.era.europa.eu/content/radio-system- compatibility-rsc-voice-and-data-documents 120 Rue Marc Lefrancq | BP 20392 | FR-59307 Valenciennes Cedex 5 / 22 Tel. +33 (0)327 09 65 00 | era.europa.eu ESC/RSC Technical Document TD/011REC1028 V11.0 Making the railway system work better for society. 4.

  • Signalling on the High-Speed Railway Amsterdam–Antwerp
    Computers in Railways XI 243 Towards interoperability on Northwest European railway corridors: signalling on the high-speed railway Amsterdam–Antwerp J. H. Baggen, J. M. Vleugel & J. A. A. M. Stoop Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Abstract The high-speed railway Amsterdam (The Netherlands)–Antwerp (Belgium) is nearly completed. As part of a TEN-T priority project it will connect to major metropolitan areas in Northwest Europe. In many (European) countries, high-speed railways have been built. So, at first sight, the development of this particular high-speed railway should be relatively straightforward. But the situation seems to be more complicated. To run international services full interoperability is required. However, there turned out to be compatibility problems that are mainly caused by the way decision making has taken place, in particular with respect to the choice and implementation of ERTMS, the new European railway signalling system. In this paper major technical and institutional choices, as well as the choice of system borders that have all been made by decision makers involved in the development of the high-speed railway Amsterdam–Antwerp, will be analyzed. This will make it possible to draw some lessons that might be used for future railway projects in Europe and other parts of the world. Keywords: high-speed railway, interoperability, signalling, metropolitan areas. 1 Introduction Two major new railway projects were initiated in the past decade in The Netherlands, the Betuweroute dedicated freight railway between Rotterdam seaport and the Dutch-German border and the high-speed railway between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the Dutch-Belgian border to Antwerp (Belgium).

ABSTRACT As a burgeoning literature on high-speed rail development indicates, good station-area planning is a very important prerequisite for the eventual successful operation of a high-speed rail station; it can also trigger opportunities for economic development in the station area and the station-city. At the same time, “on the ground” experiences from international examples of high-speed rail stations can provide valuable lessons for the California high-speed rail system in general, and the San Jose Diridon station in particular.

    Delays and Timetabling for Passenger Trains CARL-WILLIAM PALMQVIST FACULTY OF ENGINEERING | LUND UNIVERSITY 2019 317 Travel by train has increased steadily for the last 30 years. In order to build trust in and shift even more traffic to railways, more trains must arrive on time. In practice, many train delays are caused by small disturbances at stations, which add up. One issue is that the scheduled dwell times are simply too short. Another is that punctuality falls quickly if it is either warm or cold. A third is that interactions between trains rarely go as planned. One suggestion for how to reduce delays is to paint markings that show where passengers should wait. Another is to remove switches, so that remaining ones can be better maintained. A third is to make railways more resilient to the weather variations of today, and to the climate changes of tomorrow. Cost-effective improvements can also be made with timetables. More of the planning can be automated, so that planners can focus more on setting appropriate dwell times and on improving the timetabling guidelines. This way, many more trains can be on time.

    ECC Report 294 Assessment of the spectrum needs for future railway communications Approved 08 February 2019 ECC REPORT 294 - Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this ECC Report is to assess the spectrum needs for the successor to GSM-R. Essential input documents to this Report are “FRMCS Traffic Analysis” [10] and ETSI TR 103 554 “LTE radio performance simulations and evaluations in rail environment” [11]. The estimation of the throughput needed and of the spectrum needs for the successor to GSM-R are to a major extent based on the findings of these documents. These early considerations may need to be refined when results of proposals and studies from ETSI and ECC become available. Detailed frequency band options and harmonised technical conditions will be described in future ECC deliverables. 0.1 ABOUT THE NEED FOR PARALLEL OPERATION OF GSM-R AND ITS SUCCESSOR Railway interoperability, i.e. ability for trains and staff to operate uninterruptedly across borders and railway networks, must be ensured. Requirements related to interoperability are legally binding in Europe since they are part of the Control-Command and Signalling Technical Specification for Interoperability (CCS TSI), which is published in the European Regulation 2016/919/EU [4]. The principles laid down in that CCS TSI do not allow actions such as a mandatory retrofit of cab-radios (unless specific rules are agreed). In addition, an overnight switchover would not leave the possibility to perform the necessary field tests to check whether the railway requirements are met. Therefore, GSM-R and its successor will have to operate in parallel for a period of time.
