  1. Delivering an effective and interoperable ERTMS – the way ahead Keir Fitch Head of Rail Safety and Interoperability Unit DG MOVE

  2. ERTMS: ECA report • Welcome constructive recommendations • Confirms value of ERTMS as the universal signalling system in Europe • Highlights challenges, but necessary to give some context on specific points: • Effectiveness of use of EU funds • Cost assessment of ERTMS programme • High costs of deployment • Rate of deployment

  3. Rail interoperability: Migration EBICAB AWS/TPWS ZUB ATB TBL PZB/LZB KVB/TVM SIGNUM/ZUB EVM PZB/LZB • Fragmented national railway systems • National supplier oligopolies (captive) • obsolescence • Cross-border: • change of locomotive • multiple systems fitted • Limitations in terms of functionality and safety • Single European Railway Area: • ERTMS deployed (CNCs and beyond) • Wider interopreability issues also to be addressed ASFA/LZB BACC

  4. ERTMS: Achieving deployment ERTMS is a global reference • Several important achievements of recent years lay down the necessary groundwork for a much wider EU deployment RailwaySignallingwithoutborders ERTMS has a business case, contributing to reducedcost and to improved asset utilisation • The impact of these steps will be seen in the coming years

  5. ERTMS: The opportunity • Multi-billion investments over the coming years ( ca. EUR 20 bn by 2030) • Significant systemic-benefits from a coordinated deployment

  6. …..based on a coordinated deployment Corridor business case • Action Plan • Targeted EU funding • underpin a coordinated deployment driving positive business case benefits • Despite strong system-level benefits, individual organisationsmay not have strong financial cases for ERTMS deployment, therefore continued EU and Member State support is crucial to support these stakeholders and underpin deployment Coordinated deployment Fragmented deployment

  7. ERTMS: The way ahead • Significant challenges remain to deliver ERTMS supporting interoperability • European Deployment Plan for ERTMS infrastructure deployment sets out the key deadlines for infrastructure deployment to 2023 and 2030 • But further steps are necessary to ensure: • An interoperable and compliant infrastructure • Standardisation of On-board Units • Efficient Testing and Validation • Maintaining ERTMS in a reliable and consistent manner • Funding/financing of ERTMS: trackside and on-board • These are set out for all stakeholders, with specifc responsibilities and timelines in SWD (2107) 375: delivering an effective and interoperable ERTMS – the way ahead https://ec.europa.eu/transport/sites/transport/files/swd20170375-ertms-the-way-ahead.pdf
