The implementation of the ERTMS system in Poland began with two prototype sections where test studies of the system will be conducted. The first one, approximately 220 km long, runs from Grodzisk Mazowiecki to Zawiercie (line E65) and will feature ERTMS/ETCS level 1 infrastructure, while the second one, approximately 85 km long, runs from Legnica through Węgliniec to Bielawa Dolna (line E30). Here, trackside and on-board equipment for the ERTMS/ETCS level 2 system will be installed. At this level, the challenge will be the implementation of the new GSM-R digital railway communication system technology, which improves connection quality and provides additional essential services for the railway industry. Tenders for the design, construction, commissioning, and testing of the ERTMS/ETCS system were won by a consortium of companies Thales (level 1) and a consortium of companies Bombardier Transportation (level 2), and in the case of the ERTMS/GSM-R system, a consortium of companies Kapsch.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRESS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ERTMS SYSTEM IN POLAND
Abstract
The implementation of ERTMS deployment in Poland began with a two prototype sections of railway lines, where will be conducted research of the system. The first one with a length about 220 km runs from Grodzisk Mazowiecki to Zawiercie (line E65), and appears on it the infrastructure ERTMS /ETCS level 1. The second one with a length
85 km runs from Legnica by Węgliniec to Bielawa Dolna (line E30). Here will be installed device of trackside layer and on-board layer ERTMS/ETCS level 2. At this level, the challenge will be to implement new technology, digital
Global System for Mobile Communications – Railways (GSM-R), raising the quality of connections and implementing additional related services to the railways. Tenders for the design, construction, commissioning and testing of ERTMS/ETCS were won by a consortium of companies Thales (level 1) and a consortium of companies Bombardier (…)
