  1. How to accelerate the roll out of ERTMS? Matthias Ruete The European Coordinator for ERTMS Railway Conference Pardubice 2019 Czech and European Railway for the 21st Century – One Single Market 11. – 12. 4. 2019 Kunětická Hora

  2. Why to deploy ERTMS? • ERTMS brings about significant advantages in terms of • interoperability (including military mobility) • reliability • safety • capacity • maintenance

  3. Where are we with the ERTMS deployment? • EDP 2017 Today 5.300 km 2018 2023 2030 51.000 km 7.000 km 15.600 km

  4. Conclusions from ERTMS deployment on CNC • Severalearlymovers for nation-widedeploymentdelay the deployment (e.g. DK and NL); whatundermines the business case for rolling stock retrofitting • Others(e.g. LU) are on trackand intenddecommissioning of class B systems but rolling stock in neighbouring countries is not ready • Equipping just the corridor in most of the cases does not bring about sufficient benefits (objective: nation-wide deployment)

  5. Retrofitting deployment plan • A consolidated view on the upcoming retrofitting needs is important to: • Develop and promote standard solutions • Identify prototypes • Determine capacity needs • Address bottle necks • Ring-fence sufficient public financing • Address the state aid issue • Attract private financing • Mobilize smaller railway undertakings

  6. Decommissioning of class B systems • Decommissioning of class B systems trackside • will bring about significant maintenance savings for infrastructure managers • can be the main driver for trackside deployment provided the existing rolling stock is retrofitted on time • can be a powerful driver for ERTMS deployment on-board • must be done in a coordinated way with a sufficient transitional period

  7. Points to ponder There are several key conditions determining the fate of ERTMS (and possibly also of the railways in the EU): • respect of the European commitments and the genuine ownership of the deployment strategy at the national level • standardisation of products and reduction in unit costs • industrial deployment • backward and forward compatibility • swift implementation of new technologies and game changers ERTMS is only a part of a bigger picture called rail digitalization. The Commission services together with the sector representatives are at present working on the overall future architecture and the necessary short and mid-term steps to achieve this objective
