The ERTMS Programme Management outlines the frameworks for the implementing organisations (the users of the railway infrastructure) must comply with. These frameworks are visible in a range of topics.
Via the tiles below, you can read about all projects and topics that are part of the deployment of ERTMS in the Netherlands.
With ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) we are going from an analogue to a digital railway and are preparing ourselves for the future. ERTMS simplifies the introduction of other systems. FRMCS
ERTMS uses wireless communication. The on-board ETCS equipment communicates with the wayside ETCS equipment via GSM-R. In order to ensure a safe transmission of messages, this information must be encrypted. We call this key management. Key management
In order to ensure the proper working of the system now and in the future, it is important that solutions and decisions are looked at and made together. System management is about the mandate to decide on transportation system issues that cannot be solved by one participant in the transport system. System management
ERTMS uses GSM-R for wireless communication between the Radio Block Centre (RBC) and the train. This network of interconnected computers is vulnerable to people or organisations that intend to do harm. This is why cyber security is a requirement for this new system. Cyber security
The introduction of ERTMS means that the entire Dutch railway sector must work together differently. Each party is not only responsible for their own share, but must also take each other party into account in the future. The choices we make in this respect are called chain management. Chain management
The introduction of ERTMS in the Netherlands occurs in phases. That is why trains that have already been converted to ERTMS must still be able to run under the current ATB security system - until ERTMS is in place everywhere. This is where the Specific Transmission Module (STM) comes into play. STM-ATB
ERTMS is the signalling and speed control system of the future. In order to ensure that implementation goes right immediately, there need to be agreements on how ERTMS works in practice. That practice is not available yet, but simulations allow us a glimpse into the future. Simulations
With ERTMS Level 2, the signals along the track will no longer remain. This influences the shunting process, especially for freight trains. The ERTMS Programme Management is looking into three tools to support shunting of freight trains under ERTMS. Shunting tools
In the Netherlands, many companies are not fully reimbursed for the implementation of ERTMS. Unlike passenger transporters, they cannot claim their implementing costs through government concessions. Grants
Owners of historical trains and locomotives, infrastructure maintenance equipment and shunting engines have a need for a cheaper alternative for ERTMS. That is why we are looking into options for ETCS Light. ERTMS Light
