What is ERTMS?
ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is a major European project to enhance cross-border interoperability and improve safety and efficiency of railway transport. It comprises ETCS (European Train Control System), a signalling and control component that automatically supervises train speed and location, and GSM-R, a dedicated mobile communication system for railway operations.
What other technologies are related to ERTMS?
ERTMS Competitor Technologies
CBTC
Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) is an alternative train control system, often used in urban rail, offering similar functionality to ERTMS, making them competitors in some applications.
ATC
Automatic Train Control (ATC) is a general term for train protection systems that can enforce speed limits and stop trains. While ERTMS is a specific type of ATC, other ATC systems serve as alternatives.
ATP
Automatic Train Protection (ATP) encompasses various systems designed to prevent trains from passing signals at danger or exceeding speed limits. ERTMS is an ATP system, but other ATP systems exist.
ATS
Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) systems monitor and control train movements across a network. ERTMS provides train control functions, ATS provides a higher level view of the railway network which might be implemented with a different technology.
ERTMS Complementary Technologies
ETCS
European Train Control System (ETCS) is a core component of ERTMS, providing the train control and signalling functions.
IXL
IXL (Interlocking) systems are used alongside ERTMS to prevent conflicting movements of trains through railway interlockings. ERTMS interfaces with the IXL.
ATO
Automatic Train Operation (ATO) can be used in conjunction with ERTMS to automate train driving functions, providing complementary functionality.
