The need for MODURBAN (1/2) With increasing concern from operators, confirmed by a worldwide UITP survey (37 answers), on the problems of: interoperability within one network line extensions the MODURBAN project was launched with the aim of providing common functional specifications for operators and a common technical architecture for manufacturers. Innotrans - 2008 Page 5 The need for MODURBAN (2/2) UITP Survey results: 80% of operators see an advantage in interoperability in their network 60% see an advantage to have independence between on-board and wayside equipment 40% are prepared to support higher initial cost thanks to interoperability 60% are interested to participate in a group applying the same common specifications for tenders Innotrans - 2008 Page 6
Added value for operators Reduces the cost for buying and running the system as a whole through: Exhaustive worlds best practice requirement specification Easier bid evaluation Power saving Innotrans - 2008 Page 7 Added value for industry Simplified bidding Reduces risk traditionally associated with the implementation of new technology Anticipation of the requirements and development of standard off the shelf solutions to address the market Different levels of automation allowing modular software and hardware MODURBAN clarifies the roles and responsibilities between the operators and the suppliers Innotrans - 2008 Page 8
Cornerstone of MODURBAN The MODURBAN FRS contains the recommended functional and performance requirements, which constitutes the foundations of Modurban Result of many years of operating and manufacturing experience A complete set of "ready-to-use" requirements suitable for all operators covering systems ranging from manually driven trains to fully driverless operation A common system core ensures seamless upgrade from one level of automation to the next Innotrans - 2008 Page 9 Benefits (1/2) The assurance of a comprehensive set of requirements which derives from years of experience of major players in manufacture installation and commissioning safety certification through risk analysis, safety plan, hazard log operations maintenance Requirements which truly represent "state of the art" in all these critical aspects Simplified tender process Innotrans - 2008 Page 10
Benefits (2/2) A "performance" specification with no surprises tenders using the Modurban FRS will avoid unreasonable or unforeseeable risk and cost factors reduced system costs for: Specific development Project implementation Innotrans - 2008 Page 11 MODURBAN System Architecture Results Definition of a common architecture Allocation of functions through a limited set of options Identification of interchangeable modules Identification of the level of specification of interfaces (functional or full description) Innotrans - 2008 Page 12
System Architecture Features Applicable to all system configurations With or without existing interlocking With or without secondary train detection Implementing different levels of automation Fault tolerant Data Communication System transparent to the train control system One network supports all applications International standard (IEEE 802.3) for interfaces Internet Protocol (IP) for message routing Onboard and Wayside databases containing all details of the infrastructure lay out Integrated OCC with optional traction power control supervision Innotrans - 2008 Page 13 System Architecture Features - illustration MMS OCC HMI MODURBAN OCC DSU WDCN ZC Signalling Equipment WR MR DCS CC Platform doors Train doors OIS HMI SPTA Transponder Innotrans - 2008 Page 14
Two final events: At the UITP Metro Conference, December 4th, 2008, Lausanne: during the Metro Assembly presentations on the main results of MODURBAN will be given More information on: www.uitp.org/events/2008/lausanne/en/index.cfm At Metro de Madrid, on the night of December 16th, 2008, Madrid: Final conference and demonstration event. Tests and demonstrations will be performed on the Metro de Madrid network, on the dedicated MODURBAN train, showcasing: Intelligent Driving Interchangeable Data Communication Systems operation Passenger Information Systems and Video Onboard and Wayside Light Weight Material Innotrans - 2008 Page 15 MODURBAN Test Train 5053/5054 Innotrans - 2008 Page 16
In conclusion, MODURBAN defined: A complete set of "ready-to-use" requirements (FRS) suitable for all operators covering systems ranging from manually driven trains to fully driverless operation Definition of a common basic architecture Allocation of functions through a limited set of options Identification of interchangeable modules BENEFITS for operators and industry: A "performance" specification with no surprises Reduced system costs for: Specific development Project implementation Simplified tender and bidding process Power saving Clarifying the roles and responsibilities between the operators and the suppliers Allowing modular software and hardware Anticipation of the requirements and development of standard off the shelf solutions to address the market Innotrans - 2008 Page 17 Grazie-gracias gracias-merci-danke-bedankt.
