MIGRATING THE NETWORK:
THE CHALLENGES
2
-
12th UIC ERTMS World Conference 2016
Level 1 version 2.3.0d
Complexity of roll-out in big stations Rolling out ETCS 1 on a conventional network can’t be compared with previous experiences on HS-lines:
2. MIGRATING THE SYSTEM - CHALLENGES
8
Couldn’t build on previous experiences and we had
to take the time to go through a learning process
Complexity grows very fast with number of switches number of unique routes per signal too large
Need for Engineering rules to cope with this challenge, to reduce complexity

Level 1 version 2.3.0d 2. MIGRATING THE SYSTEM - CHALLENGES
9
Lack of version 2.3.0d-compliant rolling stock Different causes:
Impossibility for some RU’s to migrate their rolling stock in time
RU’s often continue buying tailor made OBU’s, not always fully TSI-compliant
IM has to program its trackside system to allow those trains
to circulate, which leads to a suboptimal way of operating
our network, not being able to use the full capacity.
-
12th UIC ERTMS World Conference 2016
Level 2 version 2.3.0d
Availability of GPRS in 2.3.0d for ETCS Level 2
Necessary to counter limited capacity of GSM-R
2. MIGRATING THE SYSTEM - CHALLENGES
10
Need for a Baseline-independent solution to avoid
operational restrictions for operators and upgrades
for infrastructure managers
-
12th UIC ERTMS World Conference 2016
Level 2 version 2.3.0d
11
Need for full TSI-compliant rolling stock Requests from operators to make specifications for the trackside ETCS Level 2 available to them
Risk for the development of national versions of ETCS OBU
With a strong commitment from infrastructure managers to
respect the TSI, operators should be encouraged to install
a fully TSI-compliant version on their rolling stock
2. MIGRATING THE SYSTEM - CHALLENGES
-
12th UIC ERTMS World Conference 2016
Level 1 Limited Supervision (Baseline 3)
Timely availability of products
Operators signal the inability to buy timely Baseline 3 products for their rolling stock
2. MIGRATING THE SYSTEM - CHALLENGES
12
Risk that it might jeopardise the roll-out planning
for IM’s and will necessitate dual signalling
Risk for ETCS 2.3.0d train in STM TBL1+ not able to run on ETCS LS baseline 3 line
Risk for lines to be equipped ETCS LS No trains running on them

12th UIC ERTMS World Conference 2016
14
Interoperability Possible Interoperability issues are well known, but need full attention of every stakeholder
Installing ETCS on the conventional network is quite challenging due to
complexity of stations
Multiple transitions STM – ETCS vice versa
Keeping operational rules in line with rules for lineside signalling

Today 19% of the Network is equipped
By 2022 the whole network must be ETCS!
Our planning is ambitious.
A conventional network is continuously evolving i.e. new track-layout, reduce of number of switches, … in parallel with the Roll-out of ETCS we already need to implement changes on ETCS-equipped lines!
Migration Migration towards ETCS and the operation of an ETCS-equipped network is extremely challenging for an organisation – need for cultural and organisational change.
