ERTMS L2/L1 1. ERTMS L2 versus L1 Level 1 is a continuous supervision of speed and location with a mono-directional spot transmission (Eurobalises) Level 2 is a continuous supervision with bidirectional continuous transmission (GSM-R) The operational difference between ERTMS Level 1 & and Level 2 is mainly throughput, meaning more paths to sell for an infrastructure manager. 3

L2 Operational Advantages 4. ERTMS L2 Trackside Advantages 1/2 All types of operation : High Speed (e.g. Rome Naples, Turin Navara) Freight (e.g. Betuwe Route) Mixed (e.g. Swiss New Lines- Mattstetten-Rothrist) Allows speeds up to 500 km/h (according to specifications) Balises, Antenna, GSM-R tested at 512km/h on LGV East Headway: Increase of performance by > 20 % (down to 2min headway on Swiss New Lines) Avoiding mismatch of information between signals and cab display. 19
ERTMS L2 Trackside Advantages 2/2 ERTMS Level 2 is the new system to come all over Europe, for both new lines and re-signalling projects: ERTMS L2 has much less trackside equipment ERTMS L2 increases performance allowing more capacity (better use of the main line infrastructure in terms of return on investment): Shorter headways Bidirectional traffic management ERTMS L2 allows to have a JRU trackside recording through the RBC. ERTMS L2 offers a very performing RAM performance and decrease significantly vandalism impact (stolen cables etc). Performance and LCC of ERTMS L2 are strong advantages 20
5. Migration and upgrades ERTMS Level 2 offers better upgrading schemes For ERTMS L2, software upgrade will allow smooth evolution in the future. Upgrade of ERTMS L1 projects will be less easy (re-programming and validation on track). Migration from lines with national ATPs to ERTMS L2 can be managed with project implementation and shadow running concept before switching to L2. 21
6. Conclusion In the case of new infrastructure or when an increase of capacity is required, ERTMS L2 is the best choice. ERTMS L2 enjoys already a significant return on experience, allowing a successful deployment along the main EU corridors: Both Industry and Operators have now a solid ground gathered since 1998 (first test tracks) and 2002 (commercial projects): Technical expertise (also shared between EEIG and UNISIG Monthly reviews, and now with ERA since a year) ERTMS Project/Tender management experience 22
