The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), composed of a unique European Train Control System (ETCS) and radio system GSM-R, is designed to gradually replace the existing incompatible national systems throughout Europe.
This project consists of the deployment of ERTMS (ETCS Level 2) in the Betuwe route (A-15 and harbour line). It foresees making the ERTMS on-board equipment of the existing locomotives fully interoperable with baseline 2.3.0.d and compatible with all ERTMS functionalities. The Betuwe route is part of Corridor A.
ERTMS projects will play a pivotal role in the trans-European network, enabling the rail sector to compete more successfully in a number of growing market segments. ERTMS is also a catalyst for the development of interoperable and competitive freight transport corridors.
This project has been completed.
