2. Increasemarket Making investments more attractive Ensure ERTMS compatibility Exploit new technologies New challenges on train control systems • ERTMS (new MoU) • extending specifications to meet global requirements by introducing: • Network independent TLC • Satellite positioning • New markets • private freight/mining lines • Low traffic-regional lines • GNSS • GPS, GLONASS fully operative • GALILEO under development to provide Europe independence and greater robustness

3. Innovation: key elements of Ansaldo STS technology plan Short term Medium term Long term Timeframe 1 Maximize position in core CBTC Train conformity check Weigh in motion 2 Tramwave Expand product offering 3 Extend business model O&M solutions 4 Satellite-based localization PTC Satellite-based communication Meet new needs of specific geographies Satellite & TLC

4. Ansaldo STS already pioneering new technological trends: Roy Hill example Roy Hill 1 project area • Roy Hill 1 is a project by Hancock Prospecting to develop a new Iron Ore mine and build the necessary extraction and transportation infrastructure • Giant size, low phosphorus iron ore deposit, with 2,4B€ tons of resources • Posco (3rd largest steel manufacturer) owns a 15% stake in the project • The Roy Hill system is based on key innovative technologies • TETRA IP-based TLC network • Satellite-based localization with SIL4 accuracy • The satellite-based system relies on a new approach to achieve SIL4 accuracy with the current satellite localizer (LDS) • ERTMS L2 based architecture

5. Alternative TLC Network Solutions Satellite Radio GSM-3G 1 Australian project with an important customer: Ansaldo STS already implementing new TLC network solutions New IP-based TLC solutions • automated heavy haul railway • enhancement of operation efficiency • cost savings • fiber optic backhauling • dedicated network • satellite backhauling • GSM backup • Radio back-up • use available networks • networks aggregation 1 Mobile router Data Communication Systems represents a strategic solution for this type of applications 3

6. Satellite Navigation Russian Equipment ERTMS ITARUS-ATC Common project between NIIAS and ASTS. Use the best technologies available on the Russian and Italian sides. Increase the performances and safety of the existing lines and stations. Use satellite technologies(GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO) to locate the train. Use wireless technologies to supervise the train from track-side (public GSM is used on the trial site). Realize amodular system. Develop a common system suitable also forthird countries. Russian market - ITARUS-ATC Concept

7. New market needs - ERTMS evolution ERTMS-like solutions emerging New markets enabled by ERTMS consolidated premiership GNSS & IP-TLC enabling technologies Reference: UNIFE

8. 2012 2013 2014 SATLOC GRAIL 2 Roadmap for GNSS adoption “The Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can play a major role in the rail sector, both for fleet management and rail safety (signalling and train control). The EGNOS and GALILEO would fundamentally contribute to increase reliability and reduce cost of the ERTMS odometer …” (extract from the new ERTMS MoU) SATLOC, 3InSat and GRAIL 2  GNSS adoption in railway environment 3InSat

9. The 3InSat Project • Development and validation of a satellite-based platform compatible with the ERTMS-ETCS • Exploitation of new satellite TLC technologies • Adoption of GNSS and augmentation networks for meeting SIL-4 requirements • Managed by ESA • Roadmap up to the validation and certification phase Prioritary applications Local lines, low-traffic ,Regional lines, new freight lines on a world-wide level Benefits: • Increased network capacity/efficiency • Lower capex & operational costs

10. The Test Site – Olbia-Cagliari railway line • 3InSat features for satellite assets validation on the test site: • Total length: approximately 50 km • Double track: to test train localization on parallel tracks • Satellite localization system at SIL-4 level • Multi-bearer TLC network • Augmentation network validation • Test Procedures validation • Independent assessment by a NoBo (Italcertifer) • Possible future evolutions of 3InSat, including tests on ERTMS using satellite based localization, are under discussion Test Site Pilot line

11. A Joint Technology Initiative in horizon 2020

12. A Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) - structure GNSS The next generationof ERTMS will be more attractive to infrastructure managers and rail operators worldwide with significantly lower life cycle costs

13. Conclusions • new market opportunities are the drivers for adopting new technology • satellite safe localization • IP-multi bearer TLC networks • Ansaldo STS already pionering new technology trends with key customers… • SIL-4 satellite localization system • IP multi-bearer TLC network • ……and with a roadmap to contribute to the ERTMS-ETCS evolution • 3InSat as the technological platform for validating satellite assets and its evolutions • UNISIG Satellite Postioning Working Group • New initiatives: • FP7 (7th Framework Program) • JTI improving ERTMS-ETCS competitiveness
