  1. ICT for Railways ERTMS Application on Tests and Maintenance ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  2. ICT Applied for ERTMS Testing Summary • ICT importance on Railway ERTMS Testing: • Aim: Assuring Interoperability • Adding Value (making verification cost effective) • ICT Technologies: • Real-time data acquisition and processing: • Image processing (event detection and recognition), • Robot control (24h operation – remote site operation), • Distributed Processing (synchronisation, automated analysis) • Fields: • Laboratory test of ERTMS implementations (Track, Onboard) • Track validation of implementations (Real-time standard check) • European Railway Network: • Distributed ERTMS laboratory network for validation of corridors across Europe.

  3. ICT on ERTMS Testing • Assuring Interoperability: • Problem: Legacy systems compatibility • Market protection • Solution: Assure independent assessment of deployments • Adding Value: • Making validation cost effective: • Fast and cheap enough to: • - Shortcuts on systems validation • Comprehensive enough to provide support for its development ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  4. ICT Technologies: Image Processing • 3D Acquisition of DMI • Image stabilisation (1) • 3D video acquisition (2) • Hand removal. (3) (1) (2) (3) ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  5. ICT Technologies: Robot Control • Robot Control allows: • 24hs x 24hs operation • Black box testing • Track equipment connected with onboard equipment in different sites • Requirements: • Real-time operation (including image recognition) ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  6. ICT Technologies: Distributed Processing • Validation of Corridors Implementations: • Onboard equipment in 1 country • Track from countries where the corridor passes through Country: A ____________________________ B ____________________________ C Test Bench EVC RBC IXL RBC IXL ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  7. ICT Technologies: Results Analysis • Semi-Automatic Analysis of ERTMS results (From Interface to SRS): • Integrated and synchronized, including DMI, JRU, TIU, ODO, BTM, RTM. User Customizable ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  8. Laboratory ERTMS Equipment Tests • Onboard: • EVC (Onboard): • - Subset-076 (Functionality), • - Subset-041 (Performance), • - Reliability • Track Implementations and transitions: • RBC (Radio Block Center) • IXL (Interlocking) • Standards: • ERTMS • National Systems (compatibility) • Operational Tests ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  9. ICT on Track Validation/Maintenance Tests • Maintenance solutions for: • Preventive Balise Failures (RF and Signal Processing), which comprises: • A receiving antenna called the “SENSING LOOP” attached below the BTM antenna on the train. • A Main Control Unit (MCU) and • A GPS receiving antenna: • The EUROBALISE ANALYZER gives an onboard automatic EUROBALISE tests tool for maintenance of on-track deployed Eurobalises. • Radio Interference Detection (Radio Technology) • Pantograph Fault Detection (Image Processing) EBTM SNIFFER MCU BTM BTM ANTENNA SENSING LOOP EUROBALISE ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  10. European Railway Network Alliance Aligned with ERDF 2014-2020 Priorities + 40 European universities have been contacted + 17 have confirmed their interest + 11 have confirmed their participation ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  11. An ICT/ rail / transport European Alliance Track & board railway interoperability Rolling stock Interoperability (mechanical test solutions, maintenance, noise) TTK University of Applied Sciences Silesian University of Technology Cardiff University Poznan University of Technology Kaunas University of Technology EuropeanRailway R&D Network coordinated by Multitel Széchenyi Istvan University Technical University of Sofia University of Mons University Politehnica of Timisoara University of Ljubljana Riga Technical University Certh - HIT University of Zilina Catholic University of Louvain University of Bari University of Pardubice University of Miskolc Training center (driver,simulator) Multimodality (automotive, ship, optimization, urbain rail ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing

  12. Conclusion • ICT applied to testing has resulted in: • Reduction of Onboard testing from 9 months to 1 month: • - Due to the use of: • - Image recognition • - Robot Control • - Support to Data Analysis up to SRS requirements • Practical results: • Full tests now assure full standard compliance, • - Without slowing down deployment and • Moreover, full tests improve ERTMS interoperability ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing
