utomation of Balise A maintenance Balise LifeCheck The control of balises is mainly manual and often basic. There are several tools available on the market to help performing balise maintenance, but a vast majority of them follow a corrective approach. ERTMS Solutions’ BaliseLifeCheck is the only on-board tool able to do predictive maintenance. he Tsolution • Compatibility with all balises’ and legacy KER balises (KVB, EBICAB,...) • Geolocalization of the balises and creation of a cartography • Detection of possible Big Metal Masses on the track that will affect BTM performances • Computation of a signature on measurements • Auto-marking on all balises matching signature • Generation of a full report after each test journey The BaliseLifeCheck is a preventive balise measurement instrument that can be used on both diagnostic and commercial trains. While capable of measuring balise, the BaliseLifeCheck is also highly customizable and can be set-up to deliver preventive maintenance to any ‘legacy’ Automatic Train Protection (ATP) balises, regardless if they are fitted or not with ERTMS. The Benefits On-board The system has been designed to be installed on-board a test or maintenance train which purpose is to analyze test tracks and active lines. Measurement It measures key electrical parameters of the up link signal and verifies if they comply with the requirements of Subset-036 in the case of ETCS balises. In this case some measurements/tests are performed against requirements of Subset-085. Diagnosis The main goal of the tool is to provide measurements and evidences which assess the correct behavior of balises that are already deployed on the field. Preventive/predictive Maintenance Preventive/predictive maintenance: the system is to be used to test, measure and detect faulty balises that are fully installed on lines already in service, or tracks to be put into service.

ERTMS/ETCS Railway Signalling
Appendix A ERTMS/ETCS Railway Signalling Salvatore Sabina, Fabio Poli and Nazelie Kassabian A.1 Interoperable Constituents The basic interoperability constituents in the Control-Command and Signalling Sub- systems are, respectively, deﬁned in TableA.1 for the Control-Command and Sig- nalling On-board Subsystem [1] and TableA.2 for the Control-Command and Sig- nalling Trackside Subsystem [1]. The functions of basic interoperability constituents may be combined to form a group. This group is then deﬁned by those functions and by its remaining exter- nal interfaces. If a group is formed in this way, it shall be considered as an inter- operability constituent. TableA.3 lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem [1]. TableA.4 lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem [1]. S.

EULYNX the Next Generation Signalling Strategy for Europe
European Initiative Linking Interlocking Subsystems EULYNX The next generation signalling strategy for Europe Signalling Seminar IRSE ITC – JR East Frans Heijnen 7 April 2016 With thanks to Maarten van der Werff What would you do? European Initiative Linking Interlocking Subsystems Situation: • You are an infra manager (…. passenger, tax payer) • Expectations concerning signalling • Huge installed base • Many generations of equipment • Obsolete within 10..20 years • Not enough budget to replace And you know: “At all European railways these problems are similar …” EULYNX 2 What is the problem? European Initiative Linking Interlocking Subsystems • Each railway project adds new assets to become obsolete again • They get overage sooner than expected • Costs depend on whoever was chosen in the past as the supplier of the system • There are potential savings but the railway is stuck with current solutions • But you don’t have a strategy for a new solution EULYNX 3 EULYNX. What is EULYNX? European Initiative Linking Interlocking Subsystems EULYNX is the strategic approach for standardisation of signalling systems Because standardisation is a key factor to reduce: • A ‘technology zoo’ with many different systems, • The number of multiple incompatible interfaces • The cost involved in replacing and renewal EULYNX 4 The vision that becomes reality European Initiative Linking Interlocking Subsystems By systems engineering and the development process • Use a common architecture • With a common apportionment of functionalities • Define standardised

Travelling Virtual Balise for Etcs
A. Filip, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 3 (2017) 578–588 TRAVELLING VIRTUAL BALISE FOR ETCS A. FILIP Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic. ABSTRACT The railway industry has taken a great effort and is currently focused on exploitation of global naviga- tion satellite system (GNSS) for the European train control system (ETCS). It has been assessed that replacement of track balises, used for safe train location determination, with virtual balises (VBs) de- tected by means of GNSS will significantly reduce the track-side infrastructure and operational costs. However, this innovated ETCS can be put into operations only in the case when detection of VBs by means of GNSS will achieve the same safety integrity level (SIL 4) and availability as it is required for physical balise groups (BGs). This paper describes a novel travelling virtual balise (TVB) concept, which was proposed to meet the demanding ETCS safety requirements for GNSS using the existing European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) safety-of-life (SoL) service. The TVB concept profits from the basic feature of GNSS – i.e. the ability of abundant train position determination in GNSS service volume, which can- not be realized by current track balise groups (BGs) with a spacing of hundreds of metres or more. The frequent GNSS train positions are utilized for (1) fast diagnostics of on-board location determination system (LDS), (2) introduction of reactive fail-safety into LDS and (3) derivation and justification of the ETCS safety requirements for EGNOS. The TVB concept brings one significant advantage to ETCS in contrast to the static VBs – i.e.

A Multi-Sensor Positioning Method Based Train Localization System for Low Density Line

Because of the vast territory and sparse population, transportation, emergency rescue, public security, surveying, the railways in China’s western region are designed as Low precise positioning, and many other industrial applications. The integration of BDS and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) has Density Lines (LDLs). The LDLs have the characteristics of the ability to achieve a more consistent and accurate positioning long mileage, low traffic volume, inadequate infrastructure, and solution. However, during long BDS outages, the performance of simple topology, normally operated as single track [1-2]. One such an integrated system degrades because of the characteristics example LDL is the Chinese Qinghai-Tibet railway, which is of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) – the sensor errors located in mountainous area of the Tibet province and Qinghai accumulate rapidly with time when operated in a standalone province. Qinghai-Tibet railway is the highest and the longest mode. In this paper, a BDS/INS/odometer/map-matching (MM) positioning methodology for train navigation applications is plateau railway in the world, with more than 300km of proposed, to solve the problem of positioning during BDS outages depopulated zone at altitudes of more than 4000m above sea when trains pass through signal obstructed areas such as under level, see Figure 1.
