Optimised Train Management with ERTMS

– an integrated Thales solution

Thales Transportation Systems

11 May 2011 • Copenhagen, Denmark

Important for Train Operators

Operator’s Challenges

1. Increase of quality (Info) for train operators, passengers, etc.

2. Increased end customer expectations concerning punctuality, reliability and information

3. Flexible management of deviations, incidents, breakdowns, etc.

4. Analyses, statistics (playback, filters, recording, performance regime, etc.)

5. Increase operational capacity of railway infrastructure and reduce OPEX by automation and optimization

6. Reduce CAPEX by minimizing required equipment (scalability)

7. Regulation requires separated organizations for infrastructure and train operators

EcoDrive: Introduction

Current situation:

Conventional railway application & control systems

• Safe train operation• Static speed profiles

Network management systems • Centralised operation• Flexible conflict resolutions

European Train Control System (ETCS)

• Interoperability over borders• Continuous control of speed profiles

Energy savings

Value proposition: combining these functional systems

EcoDrive: achievements

Significant savings in energy consumption

Lötschberg example:• Total energy savings 12.4%• Energy savings per train ride 61.4 kWh[2]

With dynamic data transmission 8% to 12%

Based on current ETCS / ERTMS system solutions

Minimum additional specific implementation

With static data and dwell time adjustment [1]

1% to 4%
