 Background, content, target and objectives

This training session is targeted at managers in decision-making posts in transport sector in general and the railways in particular. It is also targeted at future ERTMS experts in countries planning to implement ERTMS in the near future.

The objective of this training course is to give a complete overview of the ERTMS in all its features:

• background and legal framework and ERA ERA European Railway Agency control process
• how it works and what are its components (ETCS ETCS European Train Control System , GSM-R GSM-R Global System for Mobile Communications-Railways , Interlockings)
• experience gained by commercial application (ETCS, GSM-R)
• ERTMS system evolution and specific solutions (ERTMS Regional, Limited Supervision, In-fill ...)
• new generation of interlockings and methodologies for capturing and simulating their functional requirements
• added value of ERTMS for a sustainable transport system (capacity, safety, economics…)

it is also a great occasion to build an international network of pairs.
