Transnational implementation of ERTMS: the role of micro-institutions in the process A case study : ERTMS implementation on corridor D NGI Stock Taking Workshop June 12th 2009 EPFL Lausanne Caroline MARIAUD – University Paris 1 Panthéon – Sorbonne.
Overview • Railway Institutions • Integration => liberalisation • ERTMS ecosystem and critical challenges • What is ERTMS? • 3 levels combining two systems • Needs for technical coordination • Needs and challenges • In theory • In practice
Restructuration of the railways in Europe: Historically Liberalisation Interoperability
ERTMS institutional challenges • National integrated and self regulated networks • New competitive environment with restructuration • Railway Undertakings ≠ Infrastructure Managers • Project manager (maître d’ouvrage) ≠ project constructor (maître d’oeuvre) • Highly indebted • Atomicity: • Horizontal • Vertical

Inter-States Coordination in reality • Implementation driven by the existing national system • Work independently, at best 2 by 2 • Issues at stake: • Lack of experts (e.g. RFF & SNCF) speaking at least English • No common work on a regular basis (not used to it) • No feedback to ERA (WG pb.) • Competition between corridors on the specification, funds (get more traffic) • ERTMS is a tool to build this corridors!
