Palavras-chave ASK, FSK, Detector de Modulação, FPGA, ERTMS, Sinalização Ferroviária Resumo Esta dissertação insere-se na área de telecomunicações, mais concretamente nos sistemas de telecomunicações na sinalização ferroviária. O trabalho foi proposto pela empresa CAF Signalling e tem como objectivo a implemen- tação de uma função de segurança que assegura a interoperabilidade entre sistemas de Proteção Automática de Comboios (ATP), ERTMS e KER, dis- tinguindo entre Eurobalisas e balisas KER. Ao longo do trabalho o detector foi modelado em Simulink e convertido em código VHDL.A fase final da dissertação consiste na implementação em FPGA de um detetor de tipo de balisa capaz de operar em condições não ideais. O funcionamento do de- tector foi avaliado com sinais de teste e sinais reais em condições ideais, de ruído AWGN e ruído pulsante. Keywords ASK, FSK, Modulation Detector, FPGA, ERTMS, Railway Signalling Abstract This dissertation is inserted in the telecommunications field, specifically rail- way signalling telecommunications systems. This project was proposed by CAF Signalling and aims at implementing the safety function to assure the in- teroperability of both Automatic Train Protection Systems (ATP) systems, ERTMS and KER. Namely, distinguish Eurobalises and KER type balises. Throughout the work the detector is modelled in Simulink and converted to VHDL code. The final step of this dissertation is the implementation on the FPGA of a robust balise type detector capable of detecting the balise type under ideal and non-ideal conditions. The performance of the detector was evaluated with real and test balise signals under ideal conditions, AWGN noise and pulsing noise.

    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

  • Balise Lifecheck the Control of Balises Is Mainly Manual and Often Basic
    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.

Tommi Kokkonen Date 27.04.2020 Number of pages 82+34 Language English Abstract The interlocking system is one of the main actors for safe railway transportation. In most cases, the whole system is supplied by a single vendor. The recent regulations from the European Union direct for an “open” architecture to invite new game changers and reduce life-cycle costs. The objective of the thesis is to propose an alternative platform that could replace a legacy interlocking system. In the thesis, various commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software products are studied which could be assembled to compose an alternative interlocking platform. The platform must be open enough to adapt to any changes in the constituent elements and abide by the proposed baselines of new standardization initiatives, such as ERTMS, EULYNX, and RCA. In this thesis, a comparative study is performed between these products based on hardware capacity, architecture, communication protocols, programming tools, security, railway certifications, life-cycle issues, etc.

  • 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.
