Main difference is that signal/track status data is send via GSM-R from control stations instead for balise (yellow plates you see on tracks), so train don't need to run over them to get updated data. So you would not have situation that occurs on 7:10, the data would be there already when signal changed, note that system got updated when train run over the yellow plates. "Popularity" is controleld by cost, level2 is more consty as you need GSM-R infrastructure and servers at control stations sending data to train which upgrade may also require upgrade of entire signal infrastructure, while level 1 can be integrated more easily as extension of existing signal systems, thats why it's callled levels not versions ;]

Hi! I'm interested in being a train operator/driver someday, what advices would you give me? I am looking to pursue a career in the railway industry. Thanks! 😊

This channel is the best for train locomotive gore/workings

A very detailed presentation indeed, including real scenarios. Greetings from a train driver with GFR Hellas!

Nice video 👍🏻 Driving for one year now with the etcs system (also level 2) and it work very nice and smooth. Funny to see that we could now drive into each other's countries ;) However, I do see a few differences ..... although this difference will be in the national values, I expect

Nice video, to show ETCS in action. I just recently qualified to drive under LZB (or to be specific LZB-CIR-ELKE), the continuous train control system in Germany. (0:20 I also input a garbage Driver ID/TF-Nummer into PZB and LZB every time, like I think everyone else...) Unfortunately, I (without any first-hand ETCS Experience) have rather mixed feelings about ETCS. Of cause, I like the idea of a unified European system, but I think it does not use the potential, it could have as an international system: ETCS does not replace all national train control systems, and therefore will resolve, but add to the current mess of incompatible systems, due to their vast variety all over Europe and even within countries. It won't really help with transcontinental train operations, as trains will still require equipment for national train control systems unless ETCS will be mandatory for all lines. Europe's railways aren't a unified network: i.e. different electrical systems are used, loading gauges are incompatible, as well as different staff qualifications and operational codes from country to country or even within countries. Additionally, I'm not fond of the concept of using Eurobalises without Euroloops and the use of GSM-R in Levels 2 and 3. In Level 1 operation the train has no Information (similar to PZB) about the signal a train stopped in front of if Euroloops (that aren't mandatory as far as I know) aren't fitted. In stations for example, after a train came to a stop, the overlap beyond that signal may be dissolved. Without ETCS knowing the signal aspect, it permits you to start and accelerate to 40 km/h (with PZB90 it is only 25 km/h) without enforcing the breaking curve (to come to a stop before the signal again) or even prohibit such movement at all. In Levels 2 and 3 movement authorities are transmitted via GSM-R. From my experience, GSM-R is often very unreliable (regularly call setup fails despite network coverage, I get disconnected or there is no voice transmission and already twice an emergency call failed so I had to look up the phone number of the Fdl/train dispatcher and call via my cellphone). Of cause, ETCS will fail to safety when GSM-R fails, so this is not my main concern. However GSM-R's encryption is weak and movement authorities lack a sufficient cryptographic signature and because anyone can interfere with radio signals, this has the potential for manipulation of the movement authority itself or (in Level 3) of the reported train's position, while the EVC (Euro Vital Computer) and the RBC (Radio Block Center) are also exposed to potential wireless attacks. I have to admit, the tampering of GSM-R-bound ETCS-data (or in Level 1 with the content stored in Eurobalises) sounds a bit far, but when there are no wayside signals anymore, ETSC will be a single point of failure, so I think this standard could have had some better cryptography implemented But I think it is a practical, rather economical, modern and expandible system with many great features, like the volume of information, conveyed to the train (if the necessary trackside data is available and complete). For example, in Level 1 with Euroloops the system could prevent starting against a signal indicating danger, which LZB already does (it is continuos) but PZB cannot do. By the way, I think its quite neat to have catenary signals mounted right inside the catenary suspension. I couldn't spot it, so which country is this, and does somebody know what class (with some decent brakes) is been driven?

Why in Staff Responsible mode the speedometer is only displayed from 0 to 150 km/h partial while in all the other modes the full speedometer from 0 to 250 km/h is displayed? When the train is not able to drive more than 150 km/h, then it would make sense to display the speedometer in all modes only until 150 km/h. Alternatively, if only 40 km/h in Staff Responsible mode is allowed, then it would make sense to display the speedometer only until 40 km/h.

One temporary speed restriction can be implemented by reprogramming the existing track balises or by adding dedicated temporary balises on both sides of the low speed zone. The data transmitted includes the speed, the distance to the beginning of the restriction and the length of the restriction.

Looks like Bulgaria... But as a matter of fact in regards to Germany: Due to the incompetence of several people, there won't be a complete ETCS System in Germany until 2050. This is due to the fact that the current PZB and LZB System (Punctual Train influence) and Linear train influence (for trains over 160 Km/H) are connected to the ETCS computer, so if one of them fails, you don't have any influencing safety systems at all, limiting you to 50 km/H ^^ Plus the installation of ETCS on the tracks - They completed the second line now... xD

So ERTMS / ETCS Level 1 even has built-in train safety functionality (as in, can automatically engage brakes)? From what I can observe, movement authority is only obtained at signals. I believe that ETCS Level 2 movement authority is issued at not just signals but waypoints as well.

@TC-Rail

6 жыл бұрын

All ETCS levels have safety functionality (safety is the main function of ETCS). Some trains can even driving themselves automatically depending only on ETCS data. In Level 1 the movement authority is received at sertain points: not only the signals but also some dedicated track balises between the signals. Every 2 km there are also repositioning balises which provide only position data for correction the onboard unit self measuring errors. The driver is responsible for proceeding against a signal which is expected to be at "Stop" depending on the last received data. So on, passing a signal at danger is still possible but not at high speed and the emergency brake will be applied immediately. Although this is very unlikely to happen because all of the warnings sounded when approaching the signal. Level 2 movement authority is radio transmitted to the train and can be updated at any time so there is no need to proceed slowly to the signal and there is no need of light signals at all. The trackside balises are simply position markers. The trains on Level 2 track can be fully automatic driven.

The train would hit the blockage at full speed. This is why the driver is still present even in full autonomous mode with exception of some urban railways with completely restricted access to the tracks.

@jpal00

In Level 2, you can revoke the movement authority over the radio, when emergency situation arises (eg. opposing train ran afoul of the red signal), or when it becomes clear the route won't be needed. In level 1, you can't do much. The signaller would then try to use old fashioned radio/phone call to stop the train. Note that the control system can't by itself detect many blockages, ie. if a rock falls on the track nothing can be done. Also note that ETCS Level 1 can receive radio infill as well. The distinction really is that L1 movement authorities always replicate trackside signals/sections, whereas L2 can start/end at a "marker" as well. There's no fully autonomous running in ETCS L1 or L2 (deployed). Also, depending on the implementation, some aspects of driving are not supervised by ETCS.
