The path to multivendor GSM-R networks • Clear public standards • Appointed Notified Bodies • Conformity Assessments • Intermediate Statement of Verification “ISV” • Test Specification (NoBo specific) • Harmonised Test Specification (EU/global) • Availability of Test laboratories BTS DBS BTS+DBS DBS tunnel mountain Shunting yard
The history of a harmonised GSM-R Test Specification * From B.Wendler, DB-Systel presentation at ERA CCRCC 25th October 2011
DB Test Specification published in 2011 • Number of test cases 360 • NoBo validated for completeness • Including EIRENE traceability matrix: * From B.Wendler, DB-Systel presentation at ERA CCRCC 25th October 2011
ERA drives Interoperability • ERA published • final DB test specification • Draft Network Assessment specification for review by stakeholders • Set process to arrive at a “Harmonised GSM-R Test Specification”
The BSS integration into GSM-R NSS of Turkey Legacy R99 NSS • Test Specification: source ERA server, DB-Systel Test Specification • Applicable Test Cases according to Test Specification: 136 • BSS integration test period: 4 months • Test execution and correctness witnessed by Alstom BSS
Multi-vendor GSM-R integration results • Huawei BSS system was successfully integrated to TCDD’s GSM-R Core Network. • The final test report was issued 30th April 2013 and ratified in May 2013 • Press Release : “The completion of the multivendor GSM-R integration is an important project milestone for the Eskisehir-Alayunt-Kutahya-Balikesir (EKB) European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Line. … Stringent GSM-R specifications and equipment guidelines enable railways globally to setup multivendor systems such as the one now fully integrated for the EKB High Speed line with a total length of 464 km.“ With the integration completed TCDD takes benefits of an open, feature-rich and competitive GSM-R multivendor market.
