Course Code: MB1802CH Course Summary The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a European system to create a ‘digital railway’. The UK government has announced that UK citizens are to benefit from a digital railway by increasing Capacity, reducing Costs, reducing Carbon emissions and increasing Customer satisfaction, otherwise known as ‘the four Cs’. ETRMS is a major project but is only part of the digitalization process. The UK railway network already has a digital communications system – GSM-R. The second part of the system, namely, the European Train Control System (ETCS) will see the replacement of traditional railway signalling with an electronic equivalent where train movements will be signalled via GSM-R. Who would benefit This one day course is aimed at non-technical project managers that require an overview of ERTMS/ETCS. Prerequisites Delegates attending this course should be familiar with the railway industry. Topic Areas Include ERTMS Rationale and concept Standards organizations ERTMS Installations ERTMS Baselines ERTMS Specifications ETCS System behaviour ETCS Application levels ETCS Level transitions ERTMS Trackside equipment Train occupancy detection systems Signals, route and interlocking Multi-aspect signalling ERTMS On-board equipment European Vital Computer ERTMS DMI Position estimation Estimating the End of Authority Managing Movement Authorities ERTMS Operating Modes Supervision Train movements

5G is now widely deployed across the world initially using the non-standalone configuration, meaning the traffic is being carried over the 5G radio network, but it is passed on to a 4G evolved packet core network. Operators are migrating to a standalone configuration and this evolution will have an impact on the range of features that can be offered to users. One of the main features of 5G is enhanced mobile broadband, but in standalone mode enhancements will instantly become available such as industrial automation, network slicing and much lower latency. This course not only examines the regulatory, operational and commercial challenges of 5G networks migrating from non-standalone to standalone, but also provides a detailed view of how operators have deployed 5G within the range of different spectrum bands and configurations. It explores how improvements can be made as network technologies evolve. It provides examples and exercises which untangle these challenges of 5G network deployment for all the parties involved, and it will enable informed business decisions, and help those involved in 5G to continually benefit from future use and roll-out strategies.

Railways worldwide have relied on GSM-R, a specialised adaptation of commercial GSM technology, for critical train-to-controller voice communications and digital signalling for over 15 years. However, GSM-R is reaching the end of its lifecycle and will become obsolete by 2035. The International Union of Railways (UIC) has launched the Future Railway Mobile Communications System (FRMCS) project to design and implement the next-generation communication system. Unlike its predecessor, FRMCS leverages cutting-edge 5G technology and offers mobile network operators (MNOs) a unique opportunity to contribute to this transformative shift in railway communications. This course provides an in-depth overview of FRMCS, highlighting: The transition from GSM-R to FRMCS, including timelines and standards. Planned 5G-based network architecture. Key challenges, such as spectrum allocation, coverage, and capacity. The critical role of MNOs, from infrastructure sharing to delivering broadband services. Tailored for mobile network operators, this course equips participants with the insights needed to engage with the FRMCS initiative, seize new opportunities, and contribute to the success of the next-generation railway communication system.
