1.1
General
This chapter outlines the strategy and the associated technical solutions for implementation
of the TSI, notably the conditions underpinning the migration to Class A systems. Account
must be taken of the fact that the implementation of a TSI occasionally has to be coordinated with the implementation of other TSIs.
Account must be taken of the fact that implementation of a TSI occasionally has to be coordinated with the implementation of other TSIs.
Chapters 2 to 6 and any specific provisions in paragraph 7.3 below apply in full to ControlCommand Subsystem as defined by the Directive 2001/16/EC.
1.2
Within the Control-Command Subsystem two classes (A and B) of train protection and radio
communication systems are defined.
It is recognised that Class A cannot be installed on all existing conventional routes instantly
for reasons which include economic considerations and installation capacity aspects. In the
migration period between the current (pre-unified) situation (Class B) and the application of
Class A, there will be a number of possible interoperability solutions that might be
implemented in the framework of this TSI. These solutions apply to both the European
Conventional Infrastructure, including connecting lines, and to the European conventional rail
trains. A number of illustrative examples are given below:
4/30
others have taken the solution to have a double coverage on network-side but only
single equipment on the trains. GSM-R does not have STMs. Cab-radios that have
additional interface-units for Class B radio systems (Dual-mode) are able to work also
on lines in a Class B network if specially designed. This solution is only an interim
solution to allow early exchange of international trains.
.
1.2.1.1
Migration paths
The existing systems as well as the future unified system have system components
infrastructure-side and on-board. Therefore migration strategies have to be defined for both
assemblies. This paragraph deals with migration paths from Class B to Class A by giving
examples.
Migration strategies must pay special attention to the following distinction:
- train radio (from Class B to Class A),
- train protection (from Class B to Class A),
- the train detection system,
- the hot axle box detection system,
- EMC.
Each of the above can follow a different migration path.
Possible migration paths from Class B to Class A are explained by means of the following
examples for the train protection system.

can be linked to the kernel of the ETCS on-board and which translates information from
existing systems to a form that can be processed by the ETCS kernel. After the equipment of
all vehicles of a railway fleet under consideration with the combination of ETCS kernel and
respective Class B systems, the wayside equipment can be altered to ETCS or newly
equipped lines can be built based on the ETCS system. The existing class B system on
these lines can be removed.

Error: Reference source not found depicts an example, where ETCS on-board equipment
in vehicles and ETCS wayside equipment on parts of the lines is installed alternatively. This
method minimises the inception investment necessary to take advantage of the system as a
whole (i.e. the on-board and trackside equipment in the sections these are fitted). On the
other hand, it implies a certain restriction in usage of rolling stock on the network.
The selection of the appropriate migration strategy depends largely on the mix between lines
equipped, rolling stock equipped and planned purchase of new rolling stock and additional
equipment of lines.
Also international corridors and international use of rolling stock should be considered. In
case a line is not foreseen for migration and is only equipped with Class B the interoperable
operation can be ensured by a STM for the Class B system concerned.
The migration steps, however, have to enable access of other railway undertakings to the
network at any time. A vehicle equipped with the appropriate ETCS on-board equipment and
the existing system as described in annexes B and C must always be able to run on the line
under consideration.
1.2.2
Timing Criteria
1.2.2.1
Introduction
ETCS and GSM-R are computer-based systems with a faster technology evolution and
potentially a lower life expectancy than current traditional railway signalling and
telecommunication facilities. As such, they call for a pro-active rather than reactive
deployment strategy to avoid potential system obsolescence prior to system deployment
reaching maturity levels.
Notwithstanding this fact, the adoption of a too fragmented deployment throughout the
European rail network, mainly along the trans-European rail corridors, would give rise to
major cost and operational overheads resulting from the needs to ensure backward
compatibility and interconnection with a diversity of legacy facilities. Moreover, synergies in
terms of time, cost and risk reduction might be reached by the reconciliation of common
elements of different national implementation strategies viz. through joint procurement
initiatives, collaboration in system validation and certification activities.
Whereas such pro-active implementation strategy does appears a must to underpin the
whole of the migration process, the specific modalities to be adopted for the conventional rail
network have to account for the current level and planned rate of deployment of these
technologies as well as the relevant economic, operational, technical and financial factors
that influence such an implementation.
Within this context, it is evident that a clear distinction is to be made between ETCS and
GSM-R in view of the current status of migration throughout Europe and the magnitude and
extent of the barriers underlying such a migration, a fact that commands a different rationale
for the implementation of GSM-R and of ETCS on the conventional network. Such a distinct
rationale will be delineated in fuller detail within the next two paragraphs:
1.2.2.2
8/30
The current magnitude of the GSM-R deployment activity throughout the whole of the
European rail network (circa 90000 km nowadays in 11 out of the 15 states of the former
EU15) and the 4 to 5 year time horizon that generally underpins the conclusion of such
deployment works indicates that any deployment rationale will have to confront three main
concerns:
o To ensure the continuity of GSM-R service across borders avoiding the establishment
of black spots within some regions of the Community;
o To avoid a two speed Europe between the former EU15 and the new Member
States. Convergence needs to be achieved a target that is facilitated by the on-going
programmes for major upgrading of the railway networks of the new Member States.
1.2.2.3
Set against this background, and taking into account that a GSM-R infrastructure is a
telecommunication bearer for both high-speed and conventional rail applications, the
implementation criteria now in force for the former applications should equally apply for
conventional rail, viz.
Trackside installations:
The fitting of GSM-R in the case of:
o New installations of radio part of a CC assembly;
o An upgrade of radio part of a CC assembly already in service that changes the
functions or the performance of the subsystem.
On-board installations:
The fitting of GSM-R in Rolling Stock intended for use on a line including at least a section
equipped with Class A interfaces (even if superimposed to a Class B system), in the case
of:
o New installations of the radio part of a CC assembly;
o An upgrade of the radio part of a CC assembly already in service that changes the
functions or the performance of the subsystem.
Legacy systems:
Member States shall ensure that the functionality of the legacy systems referred to in Annex
B to the TSI as well as their interfaces is to remain as currently specified. Member States
shall make available the necessary information regarding their legacy systems that is
required for purposes of development and certification of apparatus allowing interoperability
of Class A equipment with their legacy Class B facilities.
In order to enable a pro-active implementation, Member States are also encouraged to
promote and support the fitting of GSM-R in any renewal or maintenance-related work
9/30
affecting the whole of an infrastructure already in service entailing an investment at least one
order of magnitude higher than those associated with the installation of GSM-R facilities.
1.2.2.4
ETCS Inception
Kernel
10/30
The ultimate goal is for the EU deployment plan to complement the deployment kernel in
reaching the critical mass conditions for ERTMS/ETCS to impose itself as the preferred
solution for all new and upgrade signalling projects across Europe.
1.2.2.5
All the implications enumerated in the previous paragraph are to be eventually qualified as
follows:
1
Trackside installations:
The fitting of ERTMS/ETCS in the case of:
o New installations of signalling part of a CC assembly;
o An upgrade of signalling part of a CC assembly already in service that changes the
functions or the performance of the subsystem.
for the set of railway infrastructure projects falling within one of the following criteria:
o Be part of the set of new priority projects established under the Trans-European
Network orientations, notably those that are classified under the Quick Start
initiative (Decision of the Council and EP 884/2004/EC);
o Command a financial support from Structural Funds (EC Regulation 1260/1999)
and/or Cohesion Funds (EC Regulation 1264/1999) in excess of 30% of the total
project costs.
For any other new or upgrade projects not encompassed under these latter criteria the prefitting of equipment as defined under Paragraph 7.2.3.2 should be performed.
In order to enable a pro-active implementation, Member States are also encouraged to
promote and support the fitting of ERTMS/ETCS in any renewal or maintenance-related
work of the infrastructure that entails investments at least one order of magnitude higher
than those associated with the installation of ERTMS/ETCS facilities.
On-board installations:
The fitting of ERTMS/ETCS, complemented where necessary by the relevant Specific
Transmission Modules (STM) to enable operation on Class B systems, on.
o New installations of the signalling part of a CC assembly;
o An upgrade of the signalling part of a CC assembly already in service that changes
the functions or the performance of the subsystem;
o Any major retrofitting of rolling stock already in service.
Legacy systems:
Member States shall ensure that the functionality of the legacy systems referred to in Annex
B to the TSI as well as their interfaces is to remain as currently specified. Member States
shall make available the necessary information regarding their legacy systems that is
required for purposes of development and safety-certification of apparatus allowing
interoperability of Class A equipment with their legacy Class B facilities.
1 For purposes of fitment of ETCS equipment major retrofitting is defined as those maintenance operations that
entail an investment at least one order of magnitude higher than the value of fitting the ETCS equipment on that
specific type of rolling-stock.
11/30
1.2.2.6
Set against the deployment rationale and its implementation rules identified in the previous
paragraphs, Member States are deemed to prepare a formal national ERTMS
implementation plan. Such formal plans should provide an appropriate knowledge base for
decision support to the different stakeholders in particular, to the Commission in the
allocation of its financial support to railway projects. Any non-adherence to the general EU
deployment principles in the elaboration of a national ERTMS implementation plan should be
justified by the Member State concerned on the basis of the procedure foreseen under Article
7 of the Directive 2001/16/EC.
Once a national ERTMS implementation plan is completed, all activities related to installation
of Control-command subsystems have to be justified by the awarding entities against this
implementation plan in addition to all other applicable legislative requirements that are in
force. Necessarily, the EU and national ERTMS implementation plans will be evolving
documents that will have to be updated in order to reflect the real evolution of the
deployment in each Member State and throughout the European rail network.
1.2.3
The following requirements apply to the categories of lines defined in Article 5c of the
Directive 2001/16/EC:
The Control-Command Subsystem concerns two classes (A and B) of train protection and
radio communication systems. The lines mentioned above presently not equipped with
Class A shall be equipped either:
with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in
Annex A, or
with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in
Annex A and with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B or,
with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B and pre-fitting for Class A
or
only with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B.
- In case lines under the scope of the present TSI will not be equipped with Class A
systems, the Member State shall be responsible to ensure that the relevant external STM for
its Class B system or systems is available in the open market at fair commercial conditions.
-
12/30
1.2.3.1
line
On a line equipped with ETCS and/or GSM-R, additional Class B equipment is possible in
order to allow the operation of rolling stock not compatible with Class A during the migration
phase. It is allowed to use existing Class B equipment on-board as a fallback arrangement to
Class A system: this does not allow an infrastructure manager to require Class B systems
onboard the interoperable trains for running on such a line.
Where dual fitment and operation of Class A and B systems occurs, then both systems may
be active simultaneously onboard, provided that national technical requirements and
operating rules support this manner and that interoperability is not compromised. The
national technical requirements and operating rules will be provided by the Member State.
1.2.3.2
The track side pre-fitting is defined as the installation of any ETCS and GSM-R equipment or
other enabling equipment for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. interlocking interfaces, LEU or fibre
optic backbones) which is fitted but not necessarily put in service aimed at reducing the
implementation cost of full-fledged ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R facilities complying with Class A
requirements at a later stage. For ETCS the scope of the pre-fitting should adhere with the
requirements set out in Index 59 of Annex A (pending).
The extent of the pre-fitting to be performed should be established during the implementation
planning of the signalling or telecommunication facilities that are to be deployed. In particular,
the network planning for GSM-R has to take into account at the earliest stage the inclusion of
all services that have to be foreseen also in the future (voice, non safety critical data, ETCS).
1.2.3.3
Upgrading or renewal of the Control-Command Track-side
Assembly or parts of it
Upgrading or renewal of the track-side assembly may concern separately:
13/30
1.2.3.4
Registers of Infrastructure
The Infrastructure Register shall provide Railway Undertakings with Class A and Class B
information, following Annex C requirements. The Infrastructure Register indicates if
Mandatory or Optional (2) functions are concerned; the constraints on onboard configuration
have to be identified.
In case European specifications for some interface(s) between Control-Command and
Signalling and other sub-systems are not available at the moment of installation (e.g.,
electromagnetic compatibility between train detection and Rolling Stock), the corresponding
characteristics and the standards applied shall be indicated in the Registers of Infrastructure.
This shall be possible, in any case, only for the items listed in Annex C.
1.2.4
According to the 2001/16/EC Directive each of the categories of rolling stock which are likely
to travel on all or part of the trans-European conventional rail network must be subdivided
into:
- rolling stock for international use,
- rolling stock for national use,
taking due account of the local, regional or long-distance use of the stock.
Rolling stock mentioned above shall be equipped either:
with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in
Annex A, or
with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in
Annex A and with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B or,
with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B and pre-fitment for
Class A or
only with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B or,
as in section Error: Reference source not found (Error: Reference source not
found),
-
1.2.4.1
The Class A assembly shall ensure that the onboard functions, interfaces and minimum
performance required by this TSI are matched to the lines concerned as described in
Annex C. Installation of Class A equipment may take advantage from additional interface
specifications between rolling stock and control-command.
1.2.4.2
The Class B equipment shall ensure that the onboard functions, interfaces and minimum
performance required by this TSI are matched to the lines concerned as described in
Annex C.
1.2.4.3
Rolling stock may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems to enable operations
on several lines. The Class B systems may be implemented
using an STM that may be plugged into the Class A assembly (external STM), or
built into the Class A assembly.
Also, the Class B system could be implemented independently (or, in case of upgrade or
renewal, be left as is), in case of Class B systems for which an STM is not an economically
viable alternative, from the rolling stock owners point of view. However, if a STM is not used,
the Railway Undertaking must ensure that the absence of a handshake (= handling, by
ETCS, of transitions between Class A and Class B on track-side) nevertheless is properly
managed. The Member State may put requirements on this in the Infrastructure Register.
When running on a line which is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems, the
Class B systems may act as fallback arrangement for the Class A system if the train is
equipped with both Class A and Class B systems. This cannot be a requirement for
interoperability and is not valid for GSM-R.
1.2.4.4
The on-board pre-fitting is defined as the installation of any ETCS and GSM-R equipment or
other enabling equipment for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. installation of cabling and wiring,
antennas, sensors, power supply or installation fixtures) which is fitted but not necessarily put
in service aimed at reducing the implementation cost of full-fledged ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R
facilities complying with the Class A requirements at a later stage. For ETCS the scope of the
pre-fitting should adhere with the requirements set out in Index 57 of Annex A (pending).
The extent of the pre-fitting to be performed should be established during the engineering
phase of the on-board signalling or telecommunication facilities. Pre-fitting may take
advantage from additional interface specifications between the sub systems rolling stock and
control-command.
1.2.4.5
Reverse STM
See section Error: Reference source not found (Error: Reference source not found)
1.2.4.6
Upgrading or renewal the Control-Command On-board
Assembly or parts of it
Upgrading or renewal of the on-board assembly may concern separately:
radio-system (Class B to Class A),
train protection system (Class B to Class A).
Therefore different parts of the Control-Command On-board Assembly may be performed or
upgraded separately (if interoperability is not prejudiced) and concern:
EIRENE functions and interfaces (see sections Error: Reference source not found
and Error: Reference source not found);
ETCS/ERTMS functions and interfaces (see sections Error: Reference source not
found, Error: Reference source not found, Error: Reference source not found,
Error: Reference source not found, Error: Reference source not found);
After the upgrade to Class A system, the existing Class B equipment may remain in use
simultaneously with Class A.
15/30
1.2.4.7
The Rolling Stock Register shall provide information following Annex C requirements.
In case TSI requirements for some interface(s) between Control-Command and Signalling
and other sub-systems are not available at the moment of installation (e.g., electromagnetic
compatibility between train detection and Rolling Stock, climatic conditions and physical
conditions in which the train can work, geometric parameters of the train like length, maximal
distance of axles in the train, length of the nose of the first and of the last car of the train,
braking parameters), the corresponding characteristics and the standards applied shall be
indicated in the Registers of Rolling Stock. This shall be possible, only for the items listed in
Annex C.
Remark: for every implementation of Control-Command Subsystem on a given line, Annex C
gives the list of the requirements for the onboard, to be addressed in the Registers of
Infrastructure, indicating if these requirements concern Mandatory or Optional ( 3) functions
and identifying constraints on train configuration.
1.2.5
1.2.5.1
In a migration phase when only part of the fleet is equipped with an onboard system able to
handle Class A, it may be necessary to have both systems fully or partially installed on a
line.
For ETCS there is no functional link between the two onboard systems except to manage
transitions during train operation (and with exception to satisfy the needs of the STMs for
Class B systems when STMs are used).
For ETCS from a purely functional point, a system may also be built combining components
from the unified and a pre-unified system. An example is the combination of an ETCS Level 1
using Eurobalise as a spot transmission means and an infill function not based on a unified
solution, but on a national system. This solution requires an on-board data link between the
unified and the pre-unified system. Therefore, the solution is not in accordance with either
Class A or Class B and is not interoperable.
There is, however, the possibility to use the combination as a national enhancement of an
interoperable line. This is only permitted if trains not equipped with the data link between
both systems can operate either on the unified or on the pre-unified system without
information from the other system. If this is not possible, the line cannot be declared
interoperable for the Control-Command Subsystem.
1.2.5.2
An infrastructure may also be used for the movement of trains not compliant with the
requirements of this TSI, according to Article 5(6) of Directive 2001/16/EC, provided this does
not create prejudice to the fulfilment of essential requirements.
Such trains receive information from a Class B signalling infrastructure via Class A track-totrain communication.
1.2.5.3
Competition criteria
Any action to allow the movement of interoperable trains on other infrastructures or the
movement of not interoperable trains on interoperable infrastructures shall ensure that free
competition between suppliers is not prejudiced.
Specially, knowledge about relevant interfaces between already installed equipment and new
equipment to be purchased shall be put at the disposal of all the interested suppliers.
1.2.6
1.3
Management of Change
1.3.1 Introduction
Change is a facet inherent to any kind of computer-based systems used in real-world
environments. It is prompted by the emergence of new requirements or by changes to
existing requirements either due to errors reported in operation or the need of improvements
in performance or other non-functional characteristics.
But change has to be managed as it is underpinned by safety-critical considerations and by
backward compatibility objectives so as to provoke minimal time and cost overheads to the
operation of already deployed ERTMS4 equipment (i.e. legacy ERTMS facilities). It is
therefore crucial to define a clear strategy of how to implement and manage change to
legacy ERTMS equipment to avoid disruption to railway operations without undermining the
underlying objectives of guaranteeing safety and interoperability. Two main issues underpin
the definition of such a strategy:
Baselining
System stability is essential so that actual implementation and deployment can be realistic.
This need for stability is akin to all parties:
o the infrastructure managers and the railway operators that will have to handle various
versions of ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R.
o the industry that needs time to specify, develop and prove continued interoperability.
A baseline in essence embodies the concept of a stable kernel in terms of system
functionality, performance and other non-functional characteristics (e.g. RAMS) 5. However,
past experience with this type of systems has shown that a number of version releases 6 are
needed to achieve a stable and implementation-suitable baseline. This can be illustrated as a
cascade process as follows:
Through its feedback loops such a process is highly intertwined. This precludes putting
several of those processes in parallel an approach that would lead to unstable and confusing
and operationally hampering situations. Baselines have then to be processed in a series
rather than in a parallel manner as illustrated below for the specific case of ERTMS/ETCS7:
5 A baseline acts as a reference starting point for a controlled management of the system evolution.
6 A version release is a version of the system that is distributed to railway customers. Versions of the
system may have different functionality, performance or may repair system faults or safety or security
shortcomings.
7 Additional elements regarding this issue are included in the paragraphs below.
18/30
1.3.3
The first baseline of the ERTMS specifications (both ETCS and GSM-R) was appended to
the TSI Command/Control and Signalling for high-speed (reference Commission Decision
2002/731). A new version release of these specifications was issued recently (Commission
Decision 2004/447). It included minor functional and system changes whereas laying down
the foundation of a structured approach for conformity assessment of the on-board
command/control equipment.
The current on-going consolidation process for ERTMS (both ETCS and GSM-R) is clearly
focused on two main issues:
o the consolidation of the current baseline in order it becomes a more robust reference
for interoperability; and
o the closure of a number of still standing operational and technical open points.
This work relies on the feedback from current pilots, early commercial applications as well as
on structured program of cross-tests with products from different suppliers. It should
eventually lead to the release of a new baseline to be put under configuration management
during the first half of 2005.
During this phase it may be necessary to make special, mutual agreements between
Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings for using Class A systems.
1.3.4
Baseline release
Based on current experience the timing between different baselines can be estimated to be
circa four to five years for ETCS and circa two years for GSM-R.
19/30
A new baseline should in principle be linked with significant modifications of the system
functionality or system performance. This could include aspects such as:
1.3.5
Infrastructure managers and railway operators will never be in a position to switch from one
baseline to the next over night. Henceforth, each baseline has to developed hand-in-hand
with an appropriate migration strategy. This is to address problems such as co-existence of
ETCS and GSM-R facilities compliant with different versions of the ETCS or GSM-R
specifications, preferred paths of migration (viz. trackside priority, rolling-stock priority or
simultaneous) as well as the indicative timeframes and the priorities for the migration.
1.3.6
As discussed earlier change is a fact of life for large software based systems. Henceforth,
change management procedures should be designed to ensure that the costs and benefits of
change are properly analyzed and that changes are implemented in a controlled way. This
requires the defined change management process and associated tools to ensure that
changes are recorded and applied to the specifications in a cost-effective manner. Whatever
the specific details of such a process might eventually be the latter should be broadly
mapped on a structured approach as follows:

A configuration management plan embodying the set of standards and procedures for
change management should underpin the whole of the change management process as
described above. The generic requirements for such a plan are described in paragraph 1.3.7
below. The implementation strategy for the approved changes should be formalised (on the
basis of due process and due documentation) into a change management plan that includes
notably
o

o
o
An important part of the change management process is the definition of the responsibilities
for the delivery of the specifications and for both its quality assurance and configuration
management. Nowadays these tasks are split as follows:
Responsibility
Delivery of specifications
Quality assurance
Configuration management
ERTMS/ETCS
GSM-R
ERTMS Users Group, UIC andEIRENE group, ERIG and
UNISIG
GSM-R Industry Group
ERTMS Users Group
EIRENE group, ERIG and
ERTMS Users Group
AEIF
It is planned that most of these tasks will revert to or will be supervised by the European
Railway Agency (established by the EC Regulation 881/2004) when this will begin operation.
A period of transition between these two structures has to be foreseen. For this transition to
happen in a smooth manner it is deemed essential to formalise and document the current
21/30
change management process within the set of documentation referred to in Annex A in order
this is taken as the reference to ensure the continuity and the quality of the change
management work.
Finally, it is essential that the Change Control Board (CCB) which eventually will act as
overall system authority is composed of a representative cross-section of the all interested
parties viz. infrastructure managers, railway undertakings, supply industry, notified bodies
and safety authorities alike. Such affiliation of the parties should ensure a system perspective
on the changes that are to be made and a global assessment of their implications. The CCB
ultimately will be put under the aegis of the European Railway Agency. A coordinated
handover needs to be ensured between the current AEIF-led change management structure
(based on a threetier CCB structured) and the future Agency-led CCB.
1.3.7
The configuration management plan should describe the set of standards and procedures for
