Conference Topics:

This year’s edition will mostly focus on deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) projects across Europe. It will highlight lessons learnt from successful implementation projects, the state of play of ERTMS deployment and the future perspectives.

In addition, the conference will deeply explore the migration and implementation strategies for Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) alongside innovation and research projects contributing to the evolution of the CCS TSI (Control Command and Signalling Technical Specifications for Interoperability).

workshops:

1. Outputs of EU Rail | Standardisation and TSI Input Plan
2. Improving ERTMS performance by integrating Human Organisational Factors (HOF)
3. Operational Harmonisation
4. How to optimise cost for the ERTMS Lifecycle for Trackside and On-board?
5. How can ERTMS deployment for Trackside and On-board be accelerated?
6. ETCS and Radio System compatibility checks : on the way to a progressive phase-out?
7. From Certification to Authorisation, challenges and issues
8. How to successfully introduce FRMCS (the successor of GSM-R) on EU network and the vehicles?
9. CCS Target and migration – the EU-RAIL System Pillar Approach

a. The DAC (Digital Automatic Coupling) programme and its interaction with ERTMS
b. How can ETCS braking curves be adapted to a more realistic behaviour of the rolling stock?
c. The CCS TSI 2023 insights within the transition regime and the error correction process explained
11. Trackside approval
