Railway Signalling since the birth to ERTMS
نویسنده
چکیده
Railway signalling can be defined as all systems used to control railway traffic safely, essentially to prevent trains from colliding. Over the years knoledgment and technology able to satisfy this issue have been implemented. After a long period during which each European nation used its own system (with the conseguent absence of interoperabilty among them), ERTMS/ETCS is currently the most common signalling system adopted in Europe for the development of High Speed Lines. It can ensure high perfomances regarding interoperability, safety, cost, accessibility, and mantainence. This aspects can guarantee a fast growth of the rail transportation in Europe, something fundamental for integration within the continent.

The European railway sector is undergoing dramatic changes. During the still ongoing liberalization process most vertically-integrated railway operators have already been “unbundled”. The shift from integrated to disintegrated companies coupled with the introduction of competition – so far in freight, but as of 2010 also in international passenger traffic – is having profound implications on th...

متن کاملAvailability assessment of railway signalling systems with uncertainty analysis using Statecharts
In this paper, we propose an original simulation approach to evaluate the availability of systems in the presence of state uncertainty which arises from incompleteness or imprecision of knowledge and data. This approach is based on a simulation method combining the belief functions theory and the Statecharts. Then we propose a Statechart model of a railway signalling system, European Rail Traff...
