AND INTEGRATION EXPERTISE

The ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) standard aims to


establish rail network interoperability and ease cross-border operation. This
initiative, launched in the early 1990s by the European Community, has now
expanded far beyond Europes frontiers.

ERTMS is composed of the ETCS (European Train Control System), which is


the control-command system, combined with GSM-R, the radio system for
voice and data communication. Levels 1 and 2 have been implemented
by suppliers while the specification of Level 3 is being finalized.

The ERTMS standard allows train operators to install "trainborne" ETCS


equipment in their fleets and infrastructure managers to install "trackisde"
ETCS equipment on railway lines.This brochure presents Alstom's ERTMS-
compliant ATLAS ETCS trackside solution.

Partnership

Alstom works in partnership with customers to boost their performance and to achieve
the best Life Cycle Cost for the solution we commission in the field.
We determine the best maintenance plan, from the design phase, according to customer
capability and organization. Status indicators are provided throughout the project, issues
are anticipated and risks shared and managed. We work in liaison with the customer on
maintenance and operation, and provide the training and tools to accompany teams in
the required changes. For renovation projects, we manage software upgrades including
decommissioning of old equipment.

Performance and punctuality

Alstom's highly reliable solutions guarantee our customers the best level of opera-
tional service, as proven by our projects in commercial service.
ERTMS increases line throughput safely thanks to continuous speed monitoring and data
transmission between trains and the wayside signaling system. Improved maintainability
(fewer components) and centralized safety data (in the RBC for Level 2), which is sent
to the Automatic Train Supervision system, ensure a high level of performance in traffic
regulation and punctuality.
