2005: Decision to develop and integrate ERTMS

• Scope of the decision:
• ERTMS version – Corridor 2007 (Baseline 2.3.0 D did not exist)
• System architecture – reuse of existing ATP equipment
• Definition of work packages
• Cost estimate and cost distribution
• Planning
• Management structure
• The first highspeed cross border ERTMS train

Start of ERTMS operation in December 2009

Reaching the top right end of the EN50126 V-diagram

• NL: HSL-Zuid (Amsterdam-

Rotterdam and Rotterdam- Belgium border)

• B: L4 (Antwerp - Dutch border)
• B: L3 (Liège – German border)
• ETCS level 1 and level 2

Continuous development

• During five year of operation
• Dual signalling ERTMS + ATB on deviation route
• Dual signalling ERTMS + TVM on incidental route
• ERTMS on routes in Belgium in various configurations
• Compatible with Thalys
• Compatible after adaptation of infrastructure design
• Compatible after adaptation of onboard software
• ERTMS on routes not used by Thalys
• Modification of class B systems

• Nîmes - Montpellier

Future developments in Germany

15 Peter ZIJDEMANS - Senior Consultant, Ricardo Rail, The Netherlands - July 7 - Session: 7 Technology B

• ERTMS BL 3 level 2
• Freight corridors
• Individual connections
• Rostock – Berlin
• Berlin – Halle – Leipzig
• POS Paris – Süddeutchland
• Various new and upgraded lines

LZB will remain up to 2026-2030 25% will be ETCS only

Drivers of future developments for Thalys trains

Infrastructure developments drive onboard developments

• ERTMS BL2 must be developed
• ERTMS BL3 must be developed
• Synchronise onboard development with upgrades

infrastructure No planning to make class B systems superfluous

16 Peter ZIJDEMANS - Senior Consultant, Ricardo Rail, The Netherlands - July 7 - Session: 7 Technology B

What will the future bring for signalling systems in Thalys

• ERTMS alone does not bring efficiency for Thalys
• ERTMS increases complexity of onboard systems and their
• peration
• ERTMS developments need to be carried on to maintain

interoperability Challenge: to improve ERTMS masterplans made by Infrastructure Managers to render Class B systems in High Speed trains superfluous

17

ERTMS masterplans should render Class B systems in High Speed trains superfluous
