  • 24. ERTMS in China (Pdf)
    factsheet # 24 ® The status of Railway Cab Signalling in China In the last two decades, the Ministry of Railways (MoR) oces of the Chinese Government have embarked on large scale expansion of the nation Chinese Railway network specically to address the huge growth in passenger trac demand from the ever expanding population and support the economic growth drive. The main declared aims were: • Improved economic productivity and competitiveness. • Stimulating the economy by creating jobs and driving demand for construction. • Facilitating cross-city economic integration. • Supporting environmental sustainability and energy independence. • Developing an indigenous HS rail equipment industry. The growth of High Speed line mileage is evident from the following statistics: • 2011 - 3,000km actual • 2013 - 10,000km actual • 2016 - 19,000km actual • 2020 - 30,000km actual • CR has expanded its network by 20.9% in the past ve years, with the high-speed network alone doubling to 37,900km To meet anticipated passenger demand, steps were determined by introducing leading edge technology initially satised by technology transfer from leading European suppliers. Adopting and adapting this technology through local production and self-suciency for both new Rolling Stock and particularly for the Signalling, Command and Control Systems where the highest levels of safety, availability and reliability were being expected and demanded. The turning point for these determinations appeared to have been the timing of the 2002 UIC ERTMS World Conference held in Beijing where the development of the ERTMS/ETCS solution was presented by the UNISIG suppliers to a large audience of Chinese senior engineers and administrators. By 2003, the MoR had redened the Chinese Train Control Systems (CTCS) describing Levels 0 to 4 combining, in Levels 1 – 4, the key attributes of the ERTMS solution but adopting the advanced track circuit technology (omni-present in the Chinese national rail network.
