4th Railway Package
› Technical Pillar (Safety, Interoperability Directives and ERA Regulation)
› Some changes in procedures: a two step approach for TSIs, CSMs and CSTs
› New responsibilities for ERA (one stop shop) › ERA will deliver safety certificates for Railway Undertakings operating in
more than one Member State or, if so requested, by the applicant, in one Member State (area of operation)
› ERA will deliver authorisation for placing in the market for vehicles intended to be used in more than one Member State or, if so requested by the applicant, in one Member State (area of use)
› ERA will deliver approvals for ERTMS trackside implementations

Railway interoperability: Revitalising the rail sector
›Opening of the railway service market Different roles for
Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings
Competition between Railway Undertakings
Opening of the railway products market Technical compatibility EU wide authorisations Competition between suppliers
Interoperability Uninterrupted movement of trains Maintaining the high safety level of railways Harmonisation of parameters Standardisation Lower costs
9
How to achieve interoperability
Interoperability … Harmonisation of parameters …
parameters … Track gauge Power system … Train localisation Ground – train communication … Operational rules …
railway functions Tracking of wagons and freight Support for safe management
of traffic Voice communication
between operators Services for passengers
(internet,…)
10
ERTMS system authority: Change Control Management
ERTMS is the harmonised system for train protection and voice and data communication between track and train
ERTMS specifications are referenced in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability related to Control-command and Signalling Subsystems
ERA is responsible to maintain ERTMS specifications
11
ERTMS system authority: Research
ERA is cooperating with ESA for some research projects (ARTES) Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking, established by COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 642/2014 of 16 June 2014: › “… a PPP aimed at stimulating and better coordinating Union research and innovation investments in the rail sector
with a view to accelerating and facilitating the transition towards a more integrated, efficient, sustainable and attractive Union railway market, in line with the business needs of the rail sector and with the general objective of achieving a Single European Railway Area…”
› “The European Railway Agency shall contribute to the definition and implementation of the S2R Master Plan, in particular by performing the following advisory tasks:
(a) proposing possible amendments to the S2R Master Plan and to the annual work plans, in particular to ensure that research needs relating to the realisation of the Single European Railway Area are covered; (b) proposing, after consultation with the stakeholders referred to in point (e) of Article 2(1) of this Regulation, guidelines for research and development activities leading to technical standards with a view to guaranteeing the interoperability and safety of results; (c) reviewing the common developments for the future system and contributing to defining target systems in regulatory requirements; (d) reviewing project activities and results with a view to ascertaining their relevance to the objectives identified in Article 2(2) of this Regulation and to guaranteeing the interoperability and safety of research results”
ERA experts will closely follow the activities of Innovation Program 2 (Advanced Traffic Management & Control Systems), especially Technical Demonstrator 2.4 dedicated to satellite positioning and Technical Demonstrator 2.11 (cyber-security)
12
Satellite applications and ERTMS
ERA is highly interested in safety related applications, such as train localisation and data communication for train protection Satellite positioning: Studies and tests performed and in progress Strengths and weaknesses
Trackside equipment subject to pilfering and vandalism Improvement of odometry performance; train integrity detection Other improvements (e.g., safety at level crossings – LeCross; SafeRail) Geographical constraints (tunnels – need of keeping other systems on-board)
Supporting the application of ERTMS in new markets Cost effective solutions for localisation, odometry
13
Satellite applications and ERTMS: backward compatibility
Goals Cost effective solutions (also for non-EU markets) Compatibility with the development of the harmonised signalling
system ERTMS (critical for EU market and advantageous for global market)
Securing the results achieved with ERTMS with respect to technological development
Preventing the need of re-design and the risk of non-interoperability due to evolutions of localisation systems
Migration Compatibility with current systems, to support EU-wide uninterrupted
movement of trains “Double” systems (the “old” and the “new” one) may be required on-
board in the migration phase, until the whole EU infrastructure is upgraded
Economic impact plays a major role
14
Satellite applications and ERTMS: certification / authorisation
Certification and authorisation Allocation of responsibility for safety critical applications, when services
of a “provider” are used (railway companies usually manage and are responsible of all systems they use; changes in the approach are necessary)
Coordination with the EU law, e.g. Safety assessment of new installation and “significant changes” Certificates of conformity for “Interoperability Constituents” Certificates of EC Verification for “Subsystems” Authorisation of vehicles and track-side subsystems (ERA / NSA) Safety certificates for operators
15
Satellite applications and ERTMS: security
ERA is interested in research activities in progress in the field of security (especially cyber-security), like the projects SECRET and ARGUS, and is “observer” in the CENELEC Survey Group on IT security (security threats affecting safety)
Challenges are expected due to evolutions of EU regulations: …operators of essential services and digital service providers will be required to take measures to manage cyber risks and report major security incidents… (risks related to disruption of services)
As far as railways are concerned, a European approach is necessary, where national strategies are as much as possible harmonised, preventing negative impacts on the opening of
Railway service (free movement of trains)
