ATO over ETCS in Shift2Rail
• ATO addresses these challenges through a reduction of energy consumption, increased line capacity and better punctuality.
• Shift2Rail has standardised an interoperable ATO over ETCS grade of Automation GoA 2 (Driver Monitored ATO) solution.
• The working group consists of suppliers (representing the industry) and users (representing infrastructure managers (IM) and railway undertaking (RU)).
• Automated driving is regarded as a gamechanger in the rollout of European Train Control System (ETCS) for mainline.

OFFICIAL
Freight RU views: improvements to ATO specificaton
Interchangeability➢ Inconsistency/ambiguities of ATO OB – Driver Desk interface (e.g., traction lever, ATO is not able to trigger holding brake …)➢ Plug&Play has been successfully proven for the test vehicle ATO OB – TCMS interface. ➢ Need also full Plug&Play standard interface definition to retrofit of different TCMS for rollout by e.g. adapter.
➢ (Specification leaves room for interpretation to allow vehicle-specific connection between ATO-OBU and communication device for retrofit.) → e.g. the interface does not fully consider OSI Layer 1- 7
Control of freight train dynamic application ➢ Train driver experience must be considered within the specification e.g.:
➢ Need to consider train set brake/traction behavior with respect to track location and environment➢ Need to consider train set/locomotive functionality (e.g. driver desk application, brake/traction process time, …)➢ Hill start need to be consider for freight
Performance to rund close to the safety critical braking curve➢ Rules and framework for performance is missing. May need iterative improvement by operational experience.
➢ ATO introduction with different performance levels (acceleration controlled by TMS, control options for braking curve) for acceptance by the locomotive personnel needs to take into account
Maturity (is the specification ready for procurement?)➢ Applying of current specification (TSI 2022) for freight without further enhancement and field lessons learned/experience
will lead to uncertain investment levels for Freight RU´s. ➢ TRL level of specification was not intend to be ready for procurement!!!➢ Specification freeze from 08/2018 has been used for that tests!!! ➢ Specification will be continuously enhanced from e.g. pilot report feedback!!!

Lessons learend :
‒ Driving and train set guidance dynamic control must consider the experience and expectation from driver requirements and behaviour.
‒ ATO OB retrofit vehicle integration remains a challenge.
. Tests have proven that ATO delivers a significant potential for improvement of rail freight in terms of efficiency and operation quality.
Insufficient maturity of automation products can lead to high risks for projects, investment and operations.

Risk
OFFICIAL
Lets shape the future of
freight ATO together
Next steps to the way forward:➢ Requirements from RU Driving/Brake dynamic and vehicle
guidance needs to be taken into account.
➢ ATO OB - Train interface specification is to be completed withrespect to „Plug & Play“ requirements (e.g. consider OCORA specification).
➢ ATO specification need to be further enhanced e.g. in fieldtests to achieve necessary maturity for procurements.➢ Specification should be exhaustely tested in different
operation modes (in particularly freight). Also needs to beconsidered for TSI 2022.

ATO Freight Demonstrator The locomotive story
Presented by Andrea Mazzone
Head of Technology Cluster Autonomous Operation
Bombardier Transportation (BT)
OFFICIAL
Introduction
BT was responsible for the integration of all ATO related components into the Bombardier TRAXX BR185.1 locomotive with ETCS 2.3.0dand to implement the interface to the vehicle.
Focus was on:
• Preparing all documents (drawings, schematics, etc. required for the integration of all components, system change reports)
• Presenting to BAV the approach together with DBC and Siemens
• Development of one part of the MMI
• Adaption of the locomotive TCMS with the implementation of the available SS139 specification
• Preparing the setup to allow a lean interchangeability of the various ATO OB system
• Support in all development and demonstration phases (static & dynamic commissioning, test runs)
• Building years: 1999-2005
• Owner: DB Cargo
• Dimensions: L: 18’900 mm, W: 2’977 mm
• Weight: 85t
• Max. Speed: 140 km/h
• System voltage: AC 15 kV/16.7 Hz, AC 25 kV/50 Hz
• Max. traction power: 5.6 MW (GTO Traction Converter)
• Starting tractive effort: 300 kN

Challanges during commissioning and during demonstration
Problem solving was necessary for various topics, not all of them related to the ATO modification
• DMI goes blank and needs to be replaced (pure HW failures)
• Test of the ZUB acknowledgment button during start of mission not successful
• Malfunction of brake valves during the start of mission: Linked to LZB/ZUB brake test and new SW patches
• Wrong MVB register (addressing) leads to problems on the MVB
→SW patches seem to help in a first step, do not solve the rout cause
→Finger pointing is contra productive
→Troubleshooting requires collaboration of all partners. Knorr was also involved
→Results in a total delay of 4 to 5 weeks
OFFICIAL
Conclusion
In a nutshell:
• The project setup is complex, involving all stakeholders in the vertical, from the industry with roots all over Europe, over the operators to the IM
• Brings together two Shift2Rrail Consortia and the Swiss smartrail 4.0 programme
• Spans over a long period of time
• Has limited budget and limited resources
• Faces additional challenges due to Covid-19
→ Considering all challenges and the complexity, the project demonstrates:
• successful engineering activity
• Successful mitigation and problem-solving actions
• successful implementation of all interfaces according to the available interfaces
• successful demonstration of the interchangeability of the ATO OB – “plug&play”
• successful teamwork among the industry

X2Rail-3 WP10 – ATO Freight Demonstrator
Presented by Stefanie Waldmann
WP10 Leader, Siemens
OFFICIAL
Focus/ObjectivesGoals for the X2Rail-3 WP10 – ATO Freight Demonstrator• Testing X2Rail-1 ATO over ETCS subsets and extending to the context of freight
• demonstrate defined scenarios with a freight train on Suisse railways
• Verification of the interoperability of ATO over ETCS
• Confirmation of the interchangeability of different supplier prototypes
• Evaluation of the Shift2Rail specifications and control algorithms for freight
Work split
• WP10 delivered an ATO over ETCS solution including:• Siemens: adaption of existing ETCS BL2 system• Siemens: provision of an ATO Adapter to connect the ATO-OB to the existing ETCS• Alstom, Hitachi, AZD, Siemens: ATO-OB
Thales: reference ATO-TS from X2Rail-1
• IP5 delivered ATO-TS (SBB), adaptions of the locomotive (Bombardier) and inputs for freight scenarios and operational rules (DB Cargo)

System Integration
• The system integration was divided into two relevant parts. One part was the integration with the vehicle (Subset-139 connection and installation onto the vehicle including power supply and MVB connections), the second part is the integration with the ETCS and ATO components
• Vehicle integration laboratory Mannheim
• Vehicle integration depot Mannheim
OFFICIAL
Results Integration
• After integration each ATO-OB controlled the locomotive
• Limitations due to the vehicle’s age:ATO-OB suppliers had to implement project specific adaptation (operation of direct brake; information about indirect brake applied; TBL position)
• Also, part of this step was the integration with the ATO-TS to ensure the communication via the provided LTE mobile router is working for every ATO supplier
OFFICIAL
Dynamic Test Switzerland
• Operational testing against the freight requirements and scenarios
• Operational testing of interfaces SS125/126, SS130 and SS139
• focus on interchangeability, with subsequent feedback into standardization
OFFICIAL
Dynamic Test Switzerland• The ETCS network infrastructure was provided by SBB in Switzerland to ensure the
communication via the provided LTE mobile router is working for every ATO supplier
• For documentation of test steps, a combined checklist with test cases was prepared
• Initially test drives consist of two test weeks and one demonstration run for each ATO-OB
supplier
• Due to Covid-19 restrictions we had to postpone the testing from April, May and June 2020 into October, November and December 2020
• Reduce test time from five days to four days a week
• There were issues on Loco that delayed test time, to rescue test time we create a “One day Test Script”
OFFICIAL
Results: Achievements/Improvements
Achievements:• Defined scenarios were successfully tested*
*limited scope due to covid-19 restrictions
• Interoperability could be demonstrated (SBB ATO-TS → 4 ATO-OB supplier)
• Interchangeability could be demonstrated (Siemens ETCS → 4 ATO-OB supplier)
Identified improvements:• Further field experience are necessary to reach the product maturity
• Homologated operating rules needed
