Summary
ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing
- ICT importance on Railway ERTMS Testing:
Aim: Assuring Interoperability
Adding Value (making verification cost effective)
- ICT Technologies:
Real-time data acquisition and processing:
Image processing (event detection and recognition),
Robot control (24h operation – remote site operation),
Distributed Processing (synchronisation, automated analysis)
- Fields:
Laboratory test of ERTMS implementations (Track, Onboard)
Track validation of implementations (Real-time standard check)
- European Railway Network:
Distributed ERTMS laboratory network for validation of corridors across Europe.

- Assuring Interoperability:
Problem: Legacy systems compatibility
Market protection
Solution: Assure independent assessment of deployments
- Adding Value:
Making validation cost effective:
Fast and cheap enough to:
- Shortcuts on systems validation
Comprehensive enough to provide support for its development

ICT on Track Validation/Maintenance Tests
ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing
- Maintenance solutions for:- Preventive Balise Failures (RF and Signal Processing), which comprises:
-A receiving antenna called the “SENSING LOOP” attached below the BTM antenna on the train.
-A Main Control Unit (MCU) and
-A GPS receiving antenna:
-The EUROBALISE ANALYZER gives an onboard automatic EUROBALISE tests tool for maintenance of on-track deployed Eurobalises.
- Radio Interference Detection (Radio Technology)
- Pantograph Fault Detection (Image Processing)

Conclusion
ICT on Railway ERTMS Testing
- ICT applied to testing has resulted in:
Reduction of Onboard testing from 9 months to 1 month:
- Due to the use of:
- Image recognition
- Robot Control
- Support to Data Analysis up to SRS requirements
- Practical results:
- Full tests now assure full standard compliance,
- Without slowing down deployment and
- Moreover, full tests improve ERTMS interoperability
