ATLAS™ Trackside ETCS solution Proven Technology & Partnership For interoperability

TECHNOLOGY AND INTEGRATION EXPERTISE YOU CAN RELY ON The ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) standard aims to establish rail network interoperability and ease cross-border operation. This initiative, launched in the early 1990s by the European Community, has now expanded far beyond Europe’s frontiers. ERTMS is composed of the ETCS (European Train Control System), which is the control-command system, combined with GSM-R, the radio system for voice and data communication. Levels 1 and 2 have been implemented by suppliers while the specification of Level 3 is being finalized. The ERTMS standard allows train operators to install "trainborne" ETCS equipment in their fleets and infrastructure managers to install "trackisde" ETCS equipment on railway lines.This brochure presents Alstom's ERTMScompliant ATLAS ETCS trackside solution.

Alstom brings infrastructure managers:

> A service-proven package of trackside equipment based on ERTMS/ETCS specifications

The most up-to-date technology Alstom has already developed equipment and technologies for certain ERTMS Level 3 functionalities. Alstom was an ERTMS pioneer and key contributor to the creation of the original ERTMS specification,

ning services for effective ERTMS/ETCS functionality on r ailway lines

working with UNISIG, UNIFE, ERA, UIC*, and the European Community as well as with train operators and infrastructure managers. It was a natural progression for us to become an early adopter and leading supplier of ETCS trainborne and

trackside solutions and to continue this key role with our permanent R&D innovation. * UNISIG: Union Industry of Signalling – UNIFE: Union of European Railway Industries – ERA: European Rail Agency – UIC: International Union of Railways

Alstom balises

More than 12 Alstom RBCs are currently in revenue service, managing 6 ERTMS lines

Over 35,000 Alstom balises installed around the world

Alstom's RBC: > employs a fault-tolerant platform based on a 2-out-of-3 principle, allowing it to operate with one channel in default and thus ensuring high system availability. > has been designed to be easily customized to specific customer requirements without compromising ERTMS compatibility for fast and easy upgrade of the installed base. > can enhance the line throughput thanks to a detailed internal model of the line. This model ensures easy future technical evolutions. > delivers proven efficient handover management between countries (and different GSM-R networks), even when working with RBCs from other suppliers: for instance between High Speed Line L4 in Belgium and HSL Zuid in The Netherlands. > can manage high-density mainline: up to 60 trains simultaneously. > allows optimum life cycle cost.

Advanced Key Management Center Only Alstom offers an advanced Key Management Center for remote and automatic generation, exchange and update of the authentification keys, eliminating manual operation. These keys are used in ERTMS to secure train-track connection.

GSM-R equipment As a complete signaling supplier, Alstom offers all telecommunications equipment for voice and

Our compact and Class A balise allows easier and safer commissioning and maintenance: > only Alstom balises detect trains and send diagnostic information back to the Lineside Electronic Unit and interlocking, a distinct advantage for verifying system integrity. > only Alstom balises can be activated and deactivated by a wireless programming tool, the BEPT (Balise Encoder Programming and Test tool), which allows the maintenance staff to work remotely, away from track, and also carries out the programming via airgap. > Alstom provides a single product for movable or fixed balises, making equipment handling easier.

data communication.

Maintenance Capabilities Alstom provides: > centralized tools for maintenance and speedrestriction remote control. > shorter and safer track maintenance operation

Alstom Lineside Electronic Unit (LEU) >

 lstom technology provides communication between LEUs and facilitates the A exchange of information concerning signal status. > Alstom provides modular architecture for both field and centralized installation, depending on the customer’s existing configuration or new-build requirements.

thanks to our mobile Hand Held Terminal (HHT): the maintainer asks the RBC for “possession” of an area through GSM-R and receives confirmation directly. He can also ask for Train Speed Restriction, according to customer needs.

beyond technology Partnership Alstom works in partnership with customers to boost their performance and to achieve the best Life Cycle Cost for the solution we commission in the field. We determine the best maintenance plan, from the design phase, according to customer capability and organization. Status indicators are provided throughout the project, issues are anticipated and risks shared and managed. We work in liaison with the customer on maintenance and operation, and provide the training and tools to accompany teams in the required changes. For renovation projects, we manage software upgrades including decommissioning of old equipment.

Performance and punctuality Alstom's highly reliable solutions guarantee our customers the best level of operational service, as proven by our projects in commercial service. ERTMS increases line throughput safely thanks to continuous speed monitoring and data transmission between trains and the wayside signaling system. Improved maintainability (fewer components) and centralized safety data (in the RBC for Level 2), which is sent to the Automatic Train Supervision system, ensure a high level of performance in traffic regulation and punctuality.

Expand your market coverage The proven interoperability of your Alstom equipped railway lines will bring you more international traffic. Alstom's Radio Block Center (RBC)

Efficient project management Alstom provides installation, integration and commissioning services for ETCS equipment on railway lines and corridors according to contracted schedule.

ATLAS, PROVEN RELIABILITY Trains equipped by Alstom in revenue service

ALSTOM ETCS LINES IN REVENUE SERVICE

The Netherlands: Betuweroute, freight corridor A

Italy, Rome-Naples: first HSL equipped with ERTMS Level 2 & without fallback system

June 2007 marked the start of revenue service on Prorail's new freight-only line from Rotterdam to Germany. This is Europe's Corridor A, which links the continent's largest port to a European-wide rail freight network. Freed from the region's traditional line, densely packed with passenger traffic, up to ten freight trains per hour and direction run safely at 120 km/h. Alstom provided ATLAS trackside ETCS Level 1 (Havenspoorlijn) and Level 2 (A15), SMARTLOCK interlocking system, SMARTWAY conventional products and ATLAS trainborne for the operator's fleet.

For Italy's new Rome - Naples high speed network, an Alstom-led consortium designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned ATLAS trackside ETCS Level 2. The 220 km line, opened for service in December 2005, was the first to operate with ERTMS Level 2 without a fallback system. Trains run at 300 km/h with a minimum headway of 2.30 minutes. Alstom also provided ATLAS trainborne for the fleet of Italian national operator Trenitalia under a separate contract. In 2010, Italy's second high speed line, Bologna-Florence, also equipped by Alstom and of which 95% is through tunnel, entered service.

Contracts awarded French infrastructure manager RFF (Réseau Ferré de France), recently selected Alstom to equip the French sections of corridors C&D with ATLAS trackside ETCS Level 1. Alstom was also selected to equip Girona-Figueres and Castellbisbal – Can Tunis in Spain (ETCS Level 1) as well as Hanzelijn in The Netherlands (ETCS Level 2).
