1 Fast track to Sustainable Mobility ERTMS/ETCS on Belgian High Speed Lines L3 and L4 Connection to the Netherlands HSL Zuid Jean-Jacques Gehrenbeck Alstom Transport (Belgium) 1

2 L4 : Antwerp to the Netherlands, L3 : Liège to Germany 2 new lines of 40 km 2

3 Main Customer Requirements (Infrabel) Maximum speed of 300 km/h including border crossing (for connection L4 HSL Zuid) Design headway of 3 minutes ERTMS/ETCS specifications SRS (at the time of the contract), now updated to SRS (Corridor 2007 list of CRs) Nominal operation in ETCS level 2, fall-back operation in ETCS level 1 Reduced level of performance for level 1 operation (maximum speed 160 km/h, headway 6 min) Speed restrictions at on-sight, 80 km/h, 160 km/h, 220 km/h Mandatory interfaces 3

4 Mandatory interfaces EBP (ATS) GSM-R network Adjacent Belgian Interlocking Adjacent Belgian ETCS level 1 L4 / L3 Signalling System (L4) (L4) Adjacent Dutch Interlocking Adjacent Dutch ETCS levels 2 and 1 Hot box detection system Trackside objects (point machines, foot crossings, staff warning devices, lamps, etc) Fire detection system in tunnels 4

5 Scope of the project A turn-key signalling system on L 3 and L 4, including - ERTMS/ETCS trackside equipment for level 1 and level 2 - Interlocking - Train detection systems (track circuits and axle counters) - Miscellaneous lineside equipment - Power supply for signalling - Diagnosis system - Cables - Fitment of one locomotive for test purposes Contract won by a consortium lead by Alstom Transport, covering - System Design, Equipment Supply - Installation, Testing & Commissioning - Warranty 24 months, Maintenance 25 years 5

6 The L3 / L4 Signalling System Technical solution based on - Generic ETCS Alstom developments and ATLAS projects under realisation at the time of the contract signature in other countries, now in operation: Italy : Rome-Naples Switzerland : Mattstetten-Rothrist The Netherlands : Betuwe Route - Products already in operation on Infrabel network : SSI interlocking, TFM object controllers, fibre optics data links, Jade track circuits 6

7 The L3 / L4 Signalling System With specific aspects - Overlay of ETCS 1 and 2 - Interface with HSL Zuid (at different levels : ATS, Interlocking, ETCS) Including new developments - Gateway for SSI-RBC interface - Gateway for RBC-RBC interface 7

8 The L3 / L4 Signalling System INTERLOCKING SSI Cubicles SSI-RBC Gateway RBC ETCS LEVEL 2 Connection to Dutch RBC Connection to GSM-R RBC Peripherals Optical Data Links Trackside Modules Track Circuits Lineside Electronic Units Eurobalises Trackside Objects ETCS LEVEL 1 8

9 Connection L4 HSL Zuid Initial situation - At the time of the contract, no European interface was specified for the hand-over between RBCs (except the functional part) - Thales (previously Alcatel) RBC and Alstom RBC did not use the same protocols - The border crossing was realised in two steps 9

10 Connection L4 HSL Zuid First step : level 1 - No level 2 / level 2 direct transition - Transition B-NL and NL-B through a pure level 1 area (available as part of the fall-back system) at 160 km/h - Tested successfully beginning 2007 Second step : RBC RBC Gateway - In parallel of the realisation of the first step, a gateway solution was decided, for protocol translation - Hand-over management functions remain inside each RBC - First tests in October 2007, final tests with HSL Zuid beginning

13 Conclusion With L3 L4 project, Alstom demonstrates its capability to - Take advantage of the experience gained from previous projects - Offer the flexibility to solve specific issues (e.g. interfaces) - Manage projects in a multi-parties environment - Support its clients to manage evolution of specifications - Support its clients to manage system tests with trainborne systems from different supplier And so to provide signalling solutions meeting customer s requirements 13
